The Company shall: (i) indicate on all of its invoices that funds should be delivered to and deposited in a Depository Account; (ii) direct all of its account debtors to deposit any and all proceeds of Collateral into the Depository Accounts; (iii) irrevocably authorize and direct any banks which maintain the Company’s initial receipt of cash, checks and other items to promptly wire transfer all available funds to a Depository Account; and (iv) advise all such banks of CIT’s security interest in such funds. The Company shall provide CIT with prior written notice of any and all deposit accounts opened or to be opened subsequent to the Closing Date. Subject to Collection Days, all amounts received by CIT in payment of Accounts will be credited to the Revolving Loan Account when CIT is advised by its bank of its receipt of “collected funds” at CIT’s bank account in New York, New York on the Business Day of such advise if advised no later than 1:00 p.m. EST or on the next succeeding Business Day if so advised after 1:00 PM EST. No checks, drafts or other instrument received by CIT shall constitute final payment to CIT unless and until such instruments have actually been collected.

(b) The Company shall establish and maintain, in its name and at its expense, deposit accounts with such banks as are acceptable to CIT (the “Blocked Accounts”) into which the Company shall promptly cause to be deposited: (i) all proceeds of Collateral received by the Company, including all amounts payable to the Company from credit card issuers and credit card processors, and (ii) all amounts on deposit in deposit accounts used by the Company at each of its locations, all as further provided in Paragraph 3.4(a) above. The banks at which the Blocked Accounts are established shall enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to CIT (the “Blocked Account Agreements”), providing that all cash, checks and items received or deposited in the Blocked Accounts are the property of CIT, that the depository bank has no lien

upon, or right of set off against, the Blocked Accounts and any cash, checks, items, wires or other funds from time to time on deposit therein, except as otherwise provided in the Blocked Account Agreements, and that automatically, on a daily basis the depository bank will wire, or otherwise transfer, in immediately available funds, all funds received or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to such bank account as CIT may from time to time designate for such purpose. The Company hereby confirms and agrees that all amounts deposited in such Blocked Accounts and any other funds received and collected by CIT, whether as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise, shall be the property of CIT.

3.5 The Company agrees to notify CIT: (a) of any matters affecting more than $100,000 of the value, enforceability or collectibility of any Account and of all customer disputes, offsets, defenses, counterclaims, returns, rejections and all reclaimed or repossessed merchandise or goods (in each case in excess of $100,000), and of any adverse effect in more than $100,000 of the value of its Inventory, in its weekly and monthly collateral reports (as applicable) provided to CIT hereunder, in such detail and format as CIT may reasonably require from time to time and (b) promptly of any such matters which are material, as a whole, to the Accounts and/or the Inventory. The Company agrees to issue credit memoranda promptly (with duplicates to CIT upon request after the occurrence of an Event of Default) upon accepting returns or granting allowances. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which is not waived in writing by CIT) and on notice from CIT, the Company agrees that all returned, reclaimed or repossessed merchandise or goods shall be set aside by the Company, marked with CIT’s name (as secured party) and held by the Company for CIT’s account.

3.6 CIT shall maintain a Revolving Loan Account on its books in which the Company will be charged with all loans and advances made by CIT to it or for its account, and with any other Obligations, including any and all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees which CIT may incur in connection with the exercise by or for CIT of any of the rights or powers herein conferred upon CIT, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding to enforce or protect any rights of CIT in connection with this Financing Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral assigned hereunder, or any Obligations owing by the Company. The Company will be credited with all amounts received by CIT from the Company or from others for the Company’s account, including, as above set forth, all amounts received by CIT in payment of Accounts, and such amounts will be applied to payment of the Obligations as set forth herein. In no event shall prior recourse to any Accounts or other security granted to or by the Company be a prerequisite to CIT’s right to demand payment of any Obligation. Further, it is understood that CIT shall have no obligation whatsoever to perform in any respect any of the Company’s contracts or obligations relating to the Accounts.

3.7 After the end of each month, CIT shall promptly send the Company a statement showing the accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other transactions occurring between CIT and the Company during that month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon the Company and shall constitute an account stated between the Company and CIT unless CIT receives a written statement of the exceptions within thirty (30) days of the date of the monthly statement.

3.8 In the event that (a) the sum of (i) the outstanding balance of Revolving Loans and (ii) outstanding balance of Letters of Credit exceeds (b) the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base less $1,500,000.00 or (y) the Revolving Line of Credit, any such nonconsensual Overadvance shall be due and payable to CIT immediately upon CIT’s demand therefor.

SECTION 5. Letters of Credit

In order to assist the Company in establishing or opening Letters of Credit with an Issuing Bank, the Company has requested CIT to join in the applications for such Letters of Credit, and/or guarantee payment or performance of such Letters of Credit and any drafts or acceptances thereunder through the issuance of the Letters of Credit Guaranty, thereby lending CIT’s credit to the Company and CIT has agreed to do so. These arrangements shall be handled by CIT subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

5.1 CIT shall assist the Company in obtaining standby Letter(s) of Credit in an amount not to exceed the outstanding amount of the Standby Letter of Credit Sub-Line and CIT shall assist the Company in obtaining documentary Letter(s) of Credit in an amount not to exceed the outstanding amount of the Documentary Letter of Credit Sub-Line; provided, however, CIT shall be under no obligation to assist the Company in obtaining any Letter of Credit if Availability is less than $1,500,000 after the obtaining of any such Letter of Credit. CIT’s assistance for amounts in excess of the limitation set forth herein shall at all times and in all respects be in CIT’s sole discretion. It is understood that the term, form and purpose of each Letter of Credit and all documentation in connection therewith, and any amendments, modifications or extensions thereof, must be mutually acceptable to CIT, the Issuing Bank and the Company, provided that Letters of Credit shall not be used for the purchase of domestic Inventory or to secure present or future debt of domestic Inventory suppliers. Any and all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reserved dollar for dollar from Availability as an Availability Reserve.

5.2 CIT shall have the right, without notice to the Company, to charge the Company’s Revolving Loan Account with the amount of any and all indebtedness, liability or obligation of any kind incurred by CIT under the Letters of Credit Guaranty at the earlier of (a) payment by CIT under the Letters of Credit Guaranty, or (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default. Any amount charged to Company’s Revolving Loan Account shall be deemed a Revolving Loan hereunder and shall incur interest at the rate provided in Paragraph 8.1 of Section 8 of this Financing Agreement.

5.3 The Company unconditionally indemnifies CIT and holds CIT harmless from any and all loss, claim or liability incurred by CIT arising from any transactions or occurrences relating to Letters of Credit established or opened for the Company’s account, the collateral relating thereto and any drafts or acceptances thereunder, and all Obligations thereunder, including any such loss or claim due to any errors, omissions, negligence, misconduct or action taken by any Issuing Bank, other than for any such loss, claim or liability arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct by CIT under the Letters of Credit Guaranty. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Financing Agreement. The Company agrees that any charges incurred by CIT for the Company account by the Issuing Bank shall be conclusive on CIT and may be charged to the Company’s Revolving Loan Account.

5.4 CIT shall not be responsible for: the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of the goods purporting to be represented by any documents; any difference or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of the goods from that expressed in the documents; the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment is made; partial or incomplete shipment, or failure or omission to ship any or all of the goods referred to in the Letters of Credit or documents; any deviation from instructions; delay, default, or fraud by the shipper and/or anyone else in connection with the goods or the shipping thereof; or any breach of contract between the shipper or vendors and the Company.

5.5 The Company agrees that any action taken by CIT, if taken in good faith, or any action taken by any Issuing Bank, under or in connection with the Letters of Credit, the guarantees, the drafts or acceptances, or the Collateral, shall be binding on the Company and shall not put CIT in any resulting liability to the Company. In furtherance thereof, CIT shall have the full right and authority to clear and resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents; to give any instructions as to acceptance or rejection of any documents or goods; to execute any and all steamship or airways guaranties (and applications therefore), indemnities or delivery orders; to grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or documents; and to agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letters of Credit, drafts or acceptances; all in CIT’s sole name, and the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to comply with and honor any and all such documents or instruments executed by or received solely from CIT, all without any notice to or any consent from the Company. Notwithstanding any prior course of conduct or dealing with respect to the foregoing including amendments and non-compliance with documents and/or the Company’s instructions with respect thereto, CIT may exercise its rights hereunder in its sole and reasonable business judgement. In addition, without CIT’s express consent and endorsement in writing, the Company agrees: (a) not to execute any and all applications for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities or delivery orders; to grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances or documents; or to agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letters of Credit, drafts or acceptances; and (b) after the occurrence of an

Event of Default which is not cured within any applicable grace period, if any, or waived by CIT, not to (i) clear and resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents, or (ii) give any instructions as to acceptances or rejection of any documents or goods.

5.6 The Company agrees that any necessary import, export or other licenses or certificates for the import or handling of the Collateral 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 CIT may at any time request will be promptly furnished. In this connection, the Company warrants and represents that all shipments made under any such Letters of Credit are in accordance with the laws and regulations of the countries in which the shipments originate and terminate, and are not prohibited by any such laws and regulations. The Company assumes all risk, liability and responsibility for, and agrees to pay and discharge, all present and future local, state, federal or foreign Taxes, duties, or levies. Any embargo, restriction, laws, customs or regulations of any country, state, city, or other political subdivision, where the Collateral is or may be located, or wherein payments are to be made, or wherein drafts may be drawn, negotiated, accepted, or paid, shall be solely the Company’s risk, liability and responsibility.

5.7 Upon any payments made to the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit Guaranty, CIT shall acquire by subrogation, any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by the Company to the Issuing Bank in any application for Letters of Credit, any standing agreement relating to Letters of Credit or otherwise, all of which shall be deemed to have been granted to CIT and apply in all respects to CIT and shall be in addition to any rights, remedies, duties or obligations contained herein.

SECTION 6. Collateral

6.1 As security for the prompt payment in full of all Obligations, the Company hereby pledges and grants to CIT a continuing general lien upon, and security interest in, all of its assets including, without limitation, all of its:

(a) Accounts;

(b) Inventory;

(c) General Intangibles;

(d) Documents of Title;

(e) Other Collateral;

(f) Investment Property;

(g) Equipment; and

(h) Real Estate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Ex-Im Bank Documents, if Ex-Im Bank obtains any rights (whether arising directly or indirectly by operation of law, by contract or otherwise) to assert any claim against the Collateral on account of any payments made under the Ex-Im Guarantee, including, without limitation, any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution and/or indemnity, Ex-Im Bank has agreed that it will not, directly or indirectly, seek or receive any proceeds from a liquidation or other exercise of remedies with respect to the Secondary Collateral (as such term is defined, together with all related definitions, in the Ex-Im Bank Documents as in effect on the date hereof) until all obligations owing to Hilco under the Hilco Loan Agreement have been paid in full in cash.

6.2 The security interests granted hereunder shall extend and attach to:

(a) All Collateral which is presently in existence and which is owned by the Company or in which the Company has any interest, whether held by the Company or others for its account, and, if any Collateral is Equipment, whether the Company’s interest in such Equipment is as owner, finance lessee or conditional vendee;

(b) All Equipment, whether the same constitutes personal property or fixtures, including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all dies, jigs, tools, benches, molds, tables, accretions, component parts thereof and additions thereto, as well as all accessories, motors, engines and auxiliary parts used in connection with, or attached to, the Equipment; and

(c) All Inventory and any portion thereof which may be returned, rejected, reclaimed or repossessed by either CIT or the Company from the Company’s customers, as well as to all supplies, goods, incidentals, packaging materials, labels and any other items which contribute to the finished goods or products manufactured or processed by the Company, or to the sale, promotion or shipment thereof.

6.3 The Company agrees to safeguard, protect and hold all Inventory for CIT’s account and make no disposition thereof except in the ordinary course of its business of the Company, as herein provided. The Company represents and warrants that Inventory will be sold and shipped by the Company to its customers only in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, and then only on open account and on terms currently being extended by the Company to its customers, provided that, absent the prior written consent of CIT, the Company shall not sell Inventory on a consignment basis nor retain any lien or security interest in any sold Inventory. Upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition of Inventory, as herein provided, the security interest in the Inventory provided for herein shall, without break in continuity and without further formality or act, continue in, and attach to, all proceeds, including any instruments for the payment of money, Trade Accounts Receivable, documents of title, shipping documents, chattel paper and all other cash and non-cash proceeds of such sale, exchange or disposition. As to any such sale, exchange or other disposition, CIT shall have all of the rights of an unpaid seller, including stoppage in transit, replevin, rescission and reclamation. The Company hereby agrees to immediately forward any and all proceeds of Collateral to the Deposit

Account, and to hold any such proceeds (including any notes and instruments), in trust for CIT pending delivery to CIT. Irrespective of CIT’s perfection status in any and all of the General Intangibles, including, without limitations, any Trademarks, Copyrights or licenses with respect thereto, the Company hereby irrevocably grants CIT a royalty free license to sell, or otherwise dispose or transfer, in accordance with Paragraph 10.3 of Section 10 of this Financing Agreement, and the applicable terms hereof, of any of the Inventory upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been waived in writing by CIT.

6.4 The Company agrees at its own cost and expense to keep the Equipment in as good and substantial repair and condition as the same is now or at the time the lien and security interest granted herein shall attach thereto, reasonable wear and tear excepted, making any and all repairs and replacements when and where necessary. The Company also agrees to safeguard, protect and hold all Equipment in accordance with the terms hereof and subject to CIT’s security interest. Absent CIT’s prior written consent, any sale, exchange or other disposition of any Equipment shall be made by the Company in the ordinary course of business and as set forth herein. The Company may, in the ordinary course of its business, sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of obsolete or surplus Equipment provided, however, that (a) the then value of the Equipment so disposed of in any Fiscal Year does not exceed $250,000.00 in the aggregate and (b) the proceeds of any such sales or dispositions shall be held in trust by the Company for CIT and shall be immediately delivered to CIT by deposit to the Depository Account, except that the Company may retain and use such proceeds to purchase forthwith replacement Equipment which the Company determines in its reasonable business judgment to have a collateral value at least equal to the Equipment so disposed of or sold, provided, however, that the aforesaid right shall automatically cease upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default which is not waived in writing by CIT. Upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition of the Equipment, as herein provided, the security interest provided for herein shall, without break in continuity and without further formality or act, continue in, and attach to, all proceeds, including any instruments for the payment of money, Accounts, documents of title, shipping documents, chattel paper and all other cash and non-cash proceeds of such sales, exchange or disposition. As to any such sale, exchange or other disposition, CIT shall have all of the rights of an unpaid seller, including stoppage in transit, replevin, rescission and reclamation.

6.5 The rights and security interests granted to CIT hereunder are to continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Financing Agreement or the fact that the Revolving Loan Account may from time to time be temporarily in a credit position, until the final payment in full to CIT of all Obligations and the termination of this Financing Agreement. Any delay, or omission by CIT to exercise any right hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver thereof, or be deemed a waiver of any other right, unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by CIT. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of, any right or remedy on any future occasion.

6.6 Notwithstanding CIT’s security interest in the Collateral and to the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by any assets or property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement, assets or property of any other person, CIT shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, liens, security interests or remedies CIT shall at any

time pursue, foreclose upon, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect to, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them, or any of CIT’s rights hereunder.

6.7 Any balances to the credit of the Company and any other property or assets of the Company in the possession or control of CIT may be held by CIT as security for any Obligations and applied in whole or partial satisfaction of such Obligations when due. The liens and security interests granted herein, and any other lien or security interest CIT may have in any other assets of the Company, shall secure payment and performance of all now existing and future Obligations. CIT may in its discretion charge any or all of the Obligations to the Revolving Loan Account when due.

6.8 The Company possess all General Intangibles and rights thereto necessary to conduct its business as conducted as of the Closing Date and the Company shall maintain its rights in, and the value of, the foregoing in the ordinary course of its business, including, without limitation, by making timely payment with respect to any applicable licensed rights. The Company shall deliver to CIT, and/or shall cause the appropriate party to deliver to CIT, from time to time such pledge or security agreements with respect to General Intangibles (now or hereafter acquired) of the Company and its subsidiaries as CIT shall require to obtain valid first liens thereon. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall provide timely notice to CIT of any additional Patents, Trademarks, tradenames, service marks, Copyrights, brand names, trade names, logos and other trade designations acquired or applied for subsequent to the Closing Date and the Company shall execute such documentation as CIT may reasonably require to obtain and perfect its lien thereon. The Company hereby confirms that it shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, any pledged stock issued subsequent to the Closing Date to CIT in accordance with the applicable terms of the Pledge Agreement and prior to such delivery, shall hold any such stock in trust for CIT. The Company hereby irrevocably grants to CIT a royalty-free, non-exclusive license in the General Intangibles, including tradenames, Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents, licenses, and any other proprietary and intellectual property rights and any and all right, title and interest in any of the foregoing, for the sole purpose, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of the right to: (i) advertise for sale and sell or transfer any Inventory bearing any of the General Intangibles, and (ii) make, assemble, prepare for sale or complete, or cause others to do so, any applicable raw materials or Inventory bearing any of the General Intangibles, including use of the Equipment and Real Estate for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods, raw materials or work-in-process comprising Inventory, and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations hereunder, all as further set forth in this Financing Agreement and irrespective of CIT’s lien and perfection in any General Intangibles.

6.9 This Financing Agreement and the obligation of the Company to perform all of its covenants and obligations hereunder are further secured by mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust or assignment(s) on the Real Estate.

6.10 The Company shall give to CIT from time to time such mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust or assignment(s) on the Real Estate or real estate acquired after the date hereof as CIT shall require to obtain a valid second lien thereon subject only to those exceptions of title as set forth in future title insurance policies that are satisfactory to CIT.

6.11 As additional credit support for the Obligations, the Company agrees to provide the UM Holdings Letter of Credit to CIT on the Closing Date. CIT agrees to release the UM Holdings Letter of Credit within thirty (30) days of CIT’s receipt of the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 provided the following conditions are satisfied to the reasonable satisfaction of CIT:

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred prior to the receipt by CIT of such audited financial statements or is indicated on such financial statements;

(ii) the Company has met or has exceeded its forecasted projections for EBITDA for the fiscal quarters ending June 28, 2003, September 27, 2003 and December 31, 2003 (as such projections are set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto);

(iii) the Company has maintained a liquidity position satisfactory to CIT at all times prior to the receipt by CIT of such audited financial statements; and

(iv) CIT is otherwise reasonably satisfied with the financial condition and prospects of the Company.

If CIT releases the UM Holdings Letter of Credit, the UM Holdings Letter of Credit will no longer be included in the Domestic Borrowing Base.

SECTION 7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants

7.1 The Company hereby warrants, represents and covenants that: (a) the fair value of the Total Assets exceeds the book value of the Total Liabilities; (b) the Company is generally able to pay its debts as they become due and payable; and (c) the Company does not have unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as it is currently conducted absent extraordinary and unforeseen circumstances. The Company further warrants and represents that: (i) Schedule 1 hereto correctly and completely sets forth the Company’s (A) chief executive office, (B) Collateral locations, (C) tradenames, and (D) all the other information listed on said Schedule; (ii) except for the Permitted Encumbrances, after filing of financing statements in the applicable filing clerks office at the locations set forth in Schedule 1, this Financing Agreement creates a valid, perfected and first priority security interest in the Collateral and the security interests granted herein constitute and shall at all times constitute the first and only liens on the Collateral; (iii), except for the Permitted Encumbrances, the Company is, or will be, at the time additional Collateral is acquired by it, the absolute owner of the Collateral with full right to pledge, sell, consign, transfer and create a security interest therein, free and clear of any and all claims or liens in favor of others; (iv) the Company will, at its expense, forever warrant and, at CIT’s request, defend the same from any and all claims and demands of any other person other than a holder of a Permitted Encumbrance; (v) the Company will not grant, create or permit to exist, any lien upon, or security interest in, the Collateral, or any proceeds thereof, in favor of any other person other than the holders of the Permitted Encumbrances; and that the Equipment does not comprise a part of the Inventory of the Company, and (vi) the Equipment is and will only be used by the Company in its business and will not be held for sale or lease, or removed

from its premises, or otherwise disposed of by the Company except as otherwise permitted in this Financing Agreement.

7.2 The Company agrees to maintain books and records pertaining to the Collateral in accordance with GAAP and in such additional detail, form and scope as CIT shall reasonably require. The Company agrees that CIT or its agents may enter upon the Company’s premises at any time during normal business hours, and from time to time in its reasonable business judgement, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto. The Company agrees to afford CIT thirty (30) days prior written notice of any change in the location of any Collateral, other than to locations, that as of the Closing Date, are known to CIT and at which CIT has filed financing statements and otherwise fully perfected its liens thereon. The Company is also to advise CIT promptly, in sufficient detail, of any material adverse change relating to the type, quantity or quality of the Collateral or on the security interests granted to CIT therein.

7.3 The Company agrees to: (a) execute and deliver to CIT, from time to time, solely for CIT’s convenience in maintaining a record of the Collateral, such written statements, and schedules as CIT may reasonably require, designating, identifying or describing the Collateral; and (b) provide CIT, on request, with an appraisal of the Inventory which appraisal shall be at the Company’s expense and otherwise acceptable to CIT. The Company’s failure, however, to promptly give CIT such statements, or schedules shall not affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit CIT’s security interests in the Collateral.

7.4 The Company agrees to comply with the requirements of all state and federal laws in order to grant to CIT valid and perfected first security interests in the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. CIT is hereby authorized by the Company to file (including pursuant to the applicable terms of the UCC) from time to time any financing statements, continuations or amendments covering the Collateral whether or not the Company’s signature appears thereon. The Company hereby consents to and ratifies any and all execution and/or filing of financing statements on or prior to the Closing Date by CIT. The Company agrees to do whatever CIT may reasonably request, from time to time, by way of: filing notices of liens, financing statements, amendments, renewals and continuations thereof; cooperating with CIT’s agents and employees; keeping Collateral records; transferring proceeds of Collateral to CIT’s possession; and performing such further acts as CIT may reasonably require in order to effect the purposes of this Financing Agreement.

7.5 (a) The Company agrees to maintain insurance on the Real Estate, Equipment and Inventory under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such reasonable amounts and covering such insurable risks as are at all times reasonably satisfactory to CIT. All policies covering the Real Estate, Equipment and Inventory are, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to CIT, to be made payable to CIT, in case of loss, under a standard non-contributory “mortgagee”, “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as CIT may require to fully protect CIT’s interest in the Real Estate, Inventory and Equipment and to any payments to be made under such policies. All original policies or true copies thereof are to be delivered to CIT, premium prepaid, with the loss payable

endorsement in CIT’s favor, and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to CIT of the exercise of any right of cancellation. At the Company’s request, or if the Company fails to maintain such insurance, CIT may arrange for such insurance, but at the Company’s expense and without any responsibility on CIT’s part for: obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not waived in writing by CIT, CIT shall, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to CIT, have the sole right, in the name of CIT or the Company, to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies.

(b)(i) In the event of any loss or damage by fire or other casualty, insurance proceeds relating to Inventory shall first reduce the Company’s Revolving Loan, then the Term Loans;

(ii) In the event any part of the Company’s Real Estate or Equipment is damaged by fire or other casualty and the Insurance Proceeds for such damage or other casualty is less than or equal to $100,000.00, CIT shall promptly apply such Proceeds to reduce the Company’s outstanding balance in the Revolving Loan Account.

(iii) As long as an Event of Default has not occurred (or which has not been waived in writing), the Company has sufficient business interruption insurance to replace the lost profits of any of the Company’s facilities, and the Insurance Proceeds are in excess of $100,000.00, the Company may elect (by delivering written notice to CIT) to replace, repair or restore such Real Estate or Equipment to substantially the equivalent condition prior to such fire or other casualty as set forth herein. If the Company does not, or cannot, elect to use the Insurance Proceeds as set forth above, CIT may, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to CIT, apply the Insurance Proceeds to the payment of the Obligations in such manner and in such order as CIT may reasonably elect.

(iv) If the Company elects to use the Insurance Proceeds for the repair, replacement or restoration of any Real Estate and/or Equipment, and there is then no Event of Default, (i) Insurance Proceeds in excess of $100,000.00 on Equipment and/or Real Estate will be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans and (ii) CIT may set up a reserve against Availability for an amount equal to said Insurance Proceeds. The reserve will be reduced dollar-for-dollar upon receipt of non-cancelable executed purchase orders, delivery receipts or contracts for the replacement, repair or restoration of Equipment and/or the Real Estate and disbursements in connection therewith. Prior to the commencement of any material restoration, repair or replacement of Real Estate, the Company shall

provide CIT with a restoration plan and a total budget certified by an independent third party experienced in construction costing. If there are insufficient Insurance Proceeds to cover the cost of restoration as so determined, the Company shall be responsible for the amount of any such insufficiency, prior to the commencement of restoration and shall demonstrate evidence of such before the reserve will be reduced. Completion of restoration shall be evidenced by a final, unqualified certification of the design architect employed, if any; an unconditional Certificate of Occupancy, if applicable; such other certification as may be required by law; or if none of the above is applicable, a written good faith determination of completion by the Company (herein collectively the “Completion”). Upon Completion, any remaining reserve as established hereunder will be automatically released.

(c) In the event the Company fails to provide CIT with timely evidence, acceptable to CIT, of its maintenance of insurance coverage required pursuant to paragraph 7.5(a) above, CIT may purchase, at the Company’s expense, insurance to protect CIT’s interests in the Collateral. The insurance acquired by CIT may, but need not, protect the Company’s interest in the Collateral, and therefore such insurance may not pay claims which the Company may have with respect to the Collateral or pay any claim which may be made against the Company in connection with the Collateral. In the event CIT purchases, obtains or acquires insurance covering all or any portion of the Collateral, the Company shall be responsible for all of the applicable costs of such insurance, including premiums, interest (at the applicable Chase Bank Rate for Revolving Loans set forth in paragraph 8.1 of Section 8 hereof), fees and any other charges with respect thereto, until the effective date of the cancellation or the expiration of such insurance. CIT may charge all of such premiums, fees, costs, interest and other charges to the Company’s Revolving Loan Account. The Company hereby acknowledges that the costs of the premiums of any insurance acquired by CIT may exceed the costs of insurance which the Company may be able to purchase on its own. In the event that CIT purchases such insurance, CIT will notify the Company of said purchase within thirty (30) days of the date of such purchase. If, within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice, the Company provides CIT with proof that the Company had the insurance coverage required pursuant to 7.5(a) above (in form and substance satisfactory to CIT) as of the date on which CIT purchased insurance and the Company continued at all times to have such insurance, then CIT agrees to cancel the insurance purchased by CIT and credit the Company’s Revolving Loan Account with the amount of all costs, interest and other charges associated with any insurance purchased by CIT, including with any amounts previously charged to the Revolving Loan Account.

7.6 The Company agrees to pay, when due, all Taxes, including sales taxes, assessments, claims and other charges lawfully levied or assessed upon the Company or the Collateral unless such Taxes are being diligently contested in good faith by the Company by appropriate proceedings and adequate reserves are established in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any lien shall be filed or claimed thereunder (x) for Taxes due the United States of America or (y) which in CIT’s opinion might create a valid obligation having priority over the rights granted to CIT herein (exclusive of Real Estate), such lien shall not be deemed to be a Permitted Encumbrance hereunder and the Company shall immediately pay such tax

and remove the lien of record. If the Company fails to do so promptly, then at CIT’s election, CIT may (i) create an Availability Reserve in such amount as it may deem appropriate in its business judgement, or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, imminent risk of seizure, filing of any priority lien, forfeiture, or sale of the Collateral, pay Taxes on the Company’s behalf, and the amount thereof shall be an Obligation secured hereby and due on demand.

7.7 The Company: (a) agrees to comply with all acts, rules, regulations and orders of any legislative, administrative or judicial body or official, which the failure to comply with would have a material and adverse impact on the Collateral, or any material part thereof, or on the business or operations of the Company, provided that the Company may contest any acts, rules, regulations, orders and directions of such bodies or officials in any reasonable manner which will not, in CIT’s reasonable opinion, materially and adversely effect CIT’s rights or priority in the Collateral; (b) agrees to comply with all environmental statutes, acts, rules, regulations or orders as presently existing or as adopted or amended in the future, applicable to the Collateral, the ownership and/or use of its real property and operation of its business, which the failure to comply with would have a material and adverse impact on the Collateral, or any material part thereof, or on the operation of the business of the Company; and (c) shall not be deemed to have breached any provision of this Paragraph 7.7 if (i) the failure to comply with the requirements of this Paragraph 7.7 resulted from good faith error or innocent omission, (ii) the Company promptly commences and diligently pursues a cure of such breach, and (iii) such failure is cured within (30) days following the Company’s receipt of notice of such failure, or if such cannot in good faith be cured within thirty (30) days, then such breach is cured within a reasonable time frame based upon the extent and nature of the breach and the necessary remediation, and in conformity with any applicable consent order, consensual agreement and applicable law.

7.8 Until termination of this Financing Agreement and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations due hereunder, the Company agrees that, unless CIT shall have otherwise consented in writing, the Company will furnish to CIT: (a) within one hundred five (105) days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Company, an audited Consolidated Balance Sheet, with an unaudited Consolidating Balance Sheet attached thereto, as at the close of such year, and statements of profit and loss, cash flow and reconciliation of surplus of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for such year, audited (with respect to consolidated financial statements only) by independent public accountants selected by the Company and satisfactory to CIT; (b) within sixty (60) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter (i) a Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidating Balance Sheet as at the end of such period and statements of profit and loss and statements of cash flow of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, certified by an authorized financial or accounting officer of the Company and (ii) a detailed report setting forth the amount of all Support Obligations, the amount of all Support Obligations entered into during such Fiscal Quarter and the amount of all payments made under Support Obligations during such Fiscal Quarter; (c) within thirty (30) days after the end of each month a Consolidated Balance Sheet as at the end of such period and statements of profit and loss and statements of cash flow of the Company and all subsidiaries for such period, certified by an authorized financial or accounting officer of the Company; and (d) from time to time, such further information regarding the business affairs and financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as CIT may reasonably request, including, without limitation (i) the accountant’s

management practice letter and (ii) annual cash flow projections in form satisfactory to CIT. Each financial statement which the Company is required to submit hereunder must be accompanied by an officer’s certificate, signed by the President, Vice President, Controller, or Treasurer, pursuant to which any one such officer must certify that: (x) the financial statement(s) fairly and accurately represent(s) the Company’s financial condition at the end of the particular accounting period, as well as the Company’s operating results during such accounting period, subject to year-end audit adjustments; and (y) during the particular accounting period: (A) there has been no Default or Event of Default under this Financing Agreement, provided, however, that if any such officer has knowledge that any such Default or Event of Default, has occurred during such period, the existence of and a detailed description of same shall be set forth in such officer’s certificate; (B) the Company has not received any notice of cancellation with respect to its property insurance policies; (C) the Company has not received any notice that could result in a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral taken as a whole; and (D) the exhibits attached to such financial statement(s) constitute detailed calculations showing compliance with all financial covenants contained in this Financing Agreement.

7.9 Until termination of the Financing Agreement and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations due hereunder, the Company agrees that, without the prior written consent of CIT, except as otherwise herein provided, the Company will not:

(a)

Mortgage, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise permit any lien, charge, security interest, encumbrance or judgment, (whether as a result of a purchase money or title retention transaction, or other security interest, or otherwise) to exist on any of the Company’s Collateral or any other assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for the Permitted Encumbrances;

(e)

(i) Amend, modify or otherwise change (or permit the amendment, modification or other change in any manner of) any of the provisions of any of its or its subsidiaries’ Indebtedness or of any instrument or agreement (including, without limitation, any purchase agreement, indenture, loan agreement or security agreement) relating to any such Indebtedness if such amendment, modification or change would shorten the final maturity or average life to maturity of, or

require any payment to be made earlier than the date originally scheduled on, such Indebtedness, would increase the interest rate applicable to such Indebtedness, would change the subordination provision, if any, of such Indebtedness, or would otherwise be adverse to CIT or the issuer of such Indebtedness in any respect, or, in the case of the Hilco Loan, accelerate (other than an acceleration of the Hilco Loan after an event of default under the Hilco Loan Documents) the due date or increase the amounts of any principal payments in respect of the Hilco Loan, or (ii) except for the Obligations and Indebtedness with respect to the Hilco Loan, make any voluntary or optional payment, prepayment, redemption, defeasance, sinking fund payment or other acquisition for value of any of its or its subsidiaries’ Indebtedness (including, without limitation, by way of depositing money or securities with the trustee therefor before the date required for the purpose of paying any portion of such Indebtedness when due), or refund, refinance, replace or exchange any other Indebtedness for any such Indebtedness (except to the extent such Indebtedness is otherwise expressly permitted by the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”) (provided that prepayments of the “Loans” (as such term is defined in the Hilco Loan Agreement) shall not be permitted to be made unless both immediately before and after such prepayment Availability is not less than $2,500,000), or make any payment, prepayment, redemption, defeasance, sinking fund payment or repurchase of any outstanding Indebtedness as a result of any asset sale, change of control, issuance and sale of debt or equity securities or similar event, or give any notice with respect to any of the foregoing;

7.12 The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CIT and its officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) from, and holds each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, actions, damages, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) and any payments made by CIT pursuant to any indemnity provided by CIT with respect to or to which any Indemnified Party could be subject insofar as such losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, actions, damages, costs, fees or expenses with respect to the Loan Documents, including without limitation those which may arise from or relate to: (i) the Depository Account, the Blocked Accounts, the lockbox and/or any other depository account and/or the agreements executed in connection therewith, and (ii) any and all claims or expenses asserted against CIT as a result of any environmental pollution, hazardous material or environmental clean-up relating to the Real Estate; or any claim or expense which results from the Company’s operations (including, but not limited to, the Company’s off-site disposal practices) and use of the Real Estate, which CIT may sustain or incur (other than solely as a result of the physical actions of CIT on the Company’s premises which are determined to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct by a court of competent jurisdiction), all whether through the alleged or actual negligence of such person or otherwise, except and to the extent that the same results solely and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this section 8, in the event that the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Loans and (ii) the outstanding Letters of Credit exceed the lesser of either (x) the Borrowing Base less Availability Reserves or (y) the Revolving Line of Credit: (A) as a result of Revolving Loans advanced by CIT at the request of the Company (herein “Requested Overadvances”), for any one (1) or more days in any month or (B) for any other reason whatsoever (herein “Other Overadvances”) and such Other Overadvances continue for five (5) or more days in any month, the average net balance of all Revolving Loans for such month shall bear interest at the Overadvance Rate. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and the giving of any required notice by CIT in accordance with the provisions of Section 10, Paragraph 10.2 hereof, all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest.

8.2 (a) Interest on Term Loan A, whether bearing interest based on the Chase Bank Rate or LIBOR, shall be payable monthly as of the end of each month on the unpaid balance or on payment in full prior to maturity. That portion of Term Loan A which consists of Chase Bank

Rate Loans shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Chase Bank Rate plus the Applicable Margin. In the event of any change in said Chase Bank Rate the rate hereunder for any such Chase Bank Rate Loans shall change, as of the date of such change, so as to remain at the Chase Bank Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The rate hereunder shall be calculated based on a 360 day year. CIT shall be entitled to charge the Revolving Loan Account at the rate provided for herein when due until all Obligations have been paid in full.

(b) Interest on Term Loan B shall be payable monthly as of the end of each month on the unpaid balance or on payment in full prior to maturity and shall be in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Chase Bank Rate plus five percent (5.0%) per annum or (ii) ten percent (10%) per annum. In the event of any change in said Chase Bank Rate the rate hereunder for Term Loan B shall change, as of the date of such change, so as to remain at the greater of (i) five percent (5.0%) above the Chase Bank Rate or (ii) ten percent (10%) per annum. The rate hereunder shall be calculated based on a 360 day year. CIT shall be entitled to charge the Revolving Loan Account at the rate provided for herein when due.

8.3 In consideration of the Letter of Credit Guaranty of CIT, the Company shall pay CIT the Letter of Credit Guaranty Fee which shall be an amount equal to (a) three percent (3.0%) on the face amount of each documentary Letter of Credit payable upon issuance thereof and (b) three percent (3.0%) per annum, payable monthly, on the face amount of each standby Letter of Credit less the amount of any and all amounts previously drawn under such standby Letter of Credit.

8.4 Any and all charges, fees, commissions, costs and expenses charged to CIT for the Company’s account by any Issuing Bank in connection with, or arising out of, Letters of Credit or out of transactions relating thereto will be charged to the Revolving Loan Account in full when charged to, or paid by CIT, or as may be due upon any termination of this Financing Agreement hereof, and when made by any such Issuing Bank shall be conclusive on CIT.

8.5 The Company shall reimburse or pay CIT, as the case may be, for: (a) all Out-of-Pocket Expenses and (b) any applicable Documentation Fee.

8.6 Upon the last Business Day of each month, commencing on July 31, 2003, the Company shall pay to CIT (i) the Line of Credit Fee, and (ii) interest on the Collection Days. Interest will be computed at the rate, and in the manner, set forth in Paragraph 8.1 of this Financing Agreement.

8.7 To induce CIT to enter into this Financing Agreement and to extend to the Company the Revolving Loans and Term Loans, the Company shall pay to CIT a Loan Facility Fee in the amount of $380,000, $190,000 of which will be payable on the Closing Date (reduced by the $50,000 fee payable on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 8.8(ii) below), $95,000 of which will be payable on December 31, 2003 and $95,000 of which will be payable on June 30, 2004; provided, however, CIT agrees to waive the final payment of $95,000 on June 30, 2004 if the following conditions are satisfied to the reasonable satisfaction of CIT:

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred prior to the receipt by CIT of the annual audited financial statements of the Company for fiscal year 2003 delivered in accordance with subparagraph 7.8(a) of Section 7 hereof or is indicated on such financial statements;

(ii) the Company has met or exceeded its forecasted projections for EBITDA for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2003, September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003 (as such projections are set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto);

(iii) the Company has maintained a liquidity position satisfactory to CIT at all times prior to receipt by CIT of the Company’s audited financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2003; and

(iv) CIT is otherwise reasonably satisfied with the financial condition and prospects of the Company.

8.8 On the Closing Date and each anniversary of the Closing Date thereafter, the Company shall pay to CIT (i) the Administrative Management Fee in the amount of $18,000.00 and (ii) a fee in the amount of $50,000.00 for the administration of the Foreign Borrowing Base.

8.9 The Company shall pay CIT’s standard charges and fees for CIT’s personnel used by CIT for reviewing the books and records of the Company and for verifying, testing, protecting, safeguarding, preserving or disposing of all or any part of the Collateral (which fees shall be in addition to the Administrative Management Fee and any Out-of-Pocket Expenses).

8.10 The Company hereby authorizes CIT to charge the Revolving Loan Account with the amount of all payments due hereunder as such payments become due. The Company confirms that any charges which CIT may so make to the Revolving Loan Account as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to the Company and solely at CIT’s discretion.

8.11 In the event that CIT or any participant hereunder (or any financial institution which may from time to time become a participant or lender hereunder) shall have determined in the exercise of its reasonable business judgement that subsequent to the Closing Date any change in applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by CIT or such participant with any new request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on CIT’s or such participant’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which CIT or such participant could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration CIT or such participant’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by CIT or such participant to be material, then, from time to time, the Company shall pay no later than five (5) days following demand to CIT or such participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate CIT’s or such participant’s for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, CIT or such participant may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Paragraph 8.11 shall be available to CIT or such participant regardless of any possible contention

of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition. A certificate of CIT or such participant setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate CIT or such participant with respect to this Section 8 and the calculation thereof when delivered to the Company shall be conclusive on the Company absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, in the event CIT or such participant has exercised its rights pursuant to this paragraph, and subsequent thereto determines that the additional amounts paid by the Company in whole or in part exceed the amount which CIT or such participant actually required pursuant hereto, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Company by CIT or such participant.

8.12 In the event that any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by CIT or such participant with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a) subject CIT or such participant to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Financing Agreement or change the basis of taxation of payments to CIT or such participant of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any other documents (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of CIT or such participant by the federal government or the jurisdiction in which it maintains its principal office);

(b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by CIT or such participant by reason of or in respect to this Financing Agreement and the Loan Documents, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c) impose on CIT or such participant any other condition with respect to this Financing Agreement or any other document, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to CIT or such participant of making, renewing or maintaining its loans hereunder by an amount that CIT or such participant deems to be material in the exercise of its reasonable business judgement or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the loans by an amount that CIT or such participant deems to be material in the exercise of its reasonable business judgement, then, in any case the Company shall pay CIT or such participant, within five (5) days following its demand, such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. CIT or such participant shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to the Company and the calculation thereof and such certification shall be conclusive upon the Company absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, in the event CIT or such participant has exercised its rights pursuant to this paragraph, and subsequent thereto determine that the additional amounts paid by the Company in whole or in part exceed the amount which CIT or such participant actually required pursuant hereto, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Company by CIT or such participant.

8.13 The Company may request LIBOR Loans on the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Company may elect, subsequent to five (5) days from the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter (i) to request any loan made hereunder to be a LIBOR Loan as of the date of such loan or (ii) to convert Chase Bank Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, and may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans to Chase Bank Rate Loans by giving CIT at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of LIBOR Loans to Chase Bank Rate Loans shall only be made, subject to the second following sentence, on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Should the Company elect to convert Chase Bank Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, it shall give CIT at least four Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. If the last day of an Interest Period with respect to a loan that is to be converted is not a Business Day or Working Day, then such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day or Working Day, as the case may be, and during the period from such last day of an Interest Period to such succeeding Business Day, as the case may be, such loan shall bear interest as if it were an Chase Bank Rate Loan. All or any part of outstanding Chase Bank Rate Loans then outstanding with respect to Revolving Loans, Term Loans may be converted to LIBOR Loans as provided herein, provided that partial conversions shall be in multiples in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or more. The aggregate amount of all such LIBOR Loans shall not exceed $7,000,000.00 at any one time outstanding. CIT shall be entitled to charge the Company a $500 fee upon the first effective day of any such election for a LIBOR Loan.

(b) Any LIBOR Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period, provided the Company so notifies CIT, at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to the expiration of said Interest Period, and provided further that no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under this Financing Agreement, but shall be automatically converted to a Chase Bank Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period during which occurred such Default or Event of Default. Absent such notification, LIBOR Rate Loans shall convert to Chase Bank Rate Loans on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Each notice of election, conversion or continuation furnished by the Company pursuant hereto shall specify whether such election, conversion or continuation is for a month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, CIT (or any participant, if applicable) shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or from any other applicable LIBOR Rate market or source or otherwise “match fund” to fund LIBOR Rate Loans, but any and all provisions hereof relating to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be deemed to apply as if CIT (and any participant, if applicable) had purchased such deposits to fund any LIBOR Rate Loans.

(c) The Company may request a LIBOR Loan, convert any Chase Bank Rate Loan or continue any LIBOR Loan provided there is then no Default or Event of Default in effect.

8.14 (a) The LIBOR Loans shall bear interest for each Interest Period with respect thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR determined for each Interest Period in accordance with the terms hereof plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) If all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such outstanding amount, to the extent it is a LIBOR Loan, shall be converted to a Chase Bank Rate Loan at the end of the last Interest Period therefor.

(c) The Company may not have more than four (4) LIBOR Loans outstanding at any given time.

8.15 (a) Interest in respect of the LIBOR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and shall be payable on the last day of each month and the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

(b) CIT shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations given by JP Morgan Chase Bank and the computations used in determining any interest rate pursuant to Paragraph 8.14 of Section 8 hereof.

8.16 As further set forth in paragraph 8.12 above, in the event that CIT (or any financial institution which may become a participant hereunder) shall have determined in the exercise of its reasonable business judgement (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR applicable for any Interest Period with respect to (a) a proposed loan that the Company has requested be made as a LIBOR Loan, (b) a LIBOR Loan that will result from the requested conversion of a Chase Bank Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or (c) the continuation of LIBOR Loans beyond the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, CIT shall forthwith give written notice of such determination to the Company at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the requested borrowing date for such LIBOR Loan, the conversion date of such Chase Bank Rate Loan or the last day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given (i) any requested LIBOR Loan shall be made as a Chase Bank Rate Loan, (ii) any Chase Bank Rate Loan that was to have been converted to a LIBOR Loan shall be continued as a Chase Bank Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to a Chase Bank Rate Loan. Until such notice has been withdrawn by CIT, no further LIBOR Loan shall be made nor shall the Company have the right to convert a Chase Bank Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan.

8.17 If any payment on a LIBOR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day or Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day or Working Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day or Working Day.

8.18 Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law, regulation, treaty or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for CIT to make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated herein, the then outstanding LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Chase Bank Rate Loans as of the end of such month, or within such earlier period as required by law. The Company hereby agrees promptly to pay CIT, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate CIT for any costs incurred by CIT in making any conversion in accordance with this Section 8 including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by CIT to lenders of funds obtained by CIT in order to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder.

8.19 The Company agrees to indemnify and to hold CIT (including any participant) harmless from any loss or expense which CIT or such participant may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Company in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loans, as and when the same shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Financing Agreement, including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by CIT or such participant to lenders of funds obtained by either of them in order to maintain the LIBOR Loans hereunder, (b) default by the Company in making a borrowing or conversion after the Company has given a notice in accordance with Paragraph 8.13 of Section 8 hereof, (c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including, without limitation, prepayments arising as a result of the application of the proceeds of Collateral to the Revolving Loans and (d) default by the Company in making any prepayment after the Company had given notice to CIT thereof. The determination by CIT of the amount of any such loss or expense, when set forth in a written notice to the Company, containing CIT’s calculations thereof in reasonable detail, shall be conclusive on the Company in the absence of manifest error. Calculation of all amounts payable under this paragraph with regard to LIBOR Loans shall be made as though CIT had actually funded the LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market and currency, as the case may be, bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant interest period provided, however, that CIT may fund each of the LIBOR Loans in any manner CIT sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, CIT shall apply all proceeds of Collateral and all other amounts received by it from or on behalf of the Company (i) initially to the Chase Bank Rate Loans and (ii) subsequently to LIBOR Loans; provided, however, (x) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or (y) in the event the aggregate amount of outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans exceeds Availability or the applicable maximum levels set forth therefor, CIT may apply all such amounts received by it to the payment of Obligations in such manner and in such order as CIT may elect in its reasonable business judgment. In the event that any such amounts are applied to Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Loans, such application shall be treated as a prepayment of such loans and CIT shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder. This covenant shall survive termination of this Financing Agreement and payment of the outstanding Obligations.

8.20 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change (for purposes hereof “Regulatory Change” shall mean, with respect to CIT, any change after the date of this Financing Agreement in United States federal,

state or foreign law or regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation D) or the adoption or making after such date of any interpretation, directive or request applying to a class of banks including CIT of or under any United States federal, state or foreign law or regulations (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), CIT either (a) incurs any material additional costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such bank which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Financing Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of CIT which includes LIBOR Loans or (b) becomes subject to any material restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if CIT so elects by notice to the Company the obligation of CIT to make or continue, or to convert Chase Bank Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect.

8.21 For purposes of this Financing Agreement and Section 8 thereof, any reference to CIT shall include any financial institution which may become a participant or co-lender subsequent to the Closing Date.

SECTION 9. Powers

The Company hereby indemnifies CIT and holds CIT harmless from any and all costs, expenses, claims, liabilities, Out-of-Pocket Expenses or otherwise, incurred or imposed on CIT by reason of the exercise of any of its rights, remedies and interests hereunder, including, without limitation, from any sale or transfer of Collateral, preserving, maintaining or securing the Collateral, defending its interests in Collateral (including pursuant to any claims brought by the Company, the Company as debtor-in-possession, any secured or unsecured creditors of the Company, any trustee or receiver in bankruptcy, or otherwise), and the Company hereby agrees to so indemnify and hold CIT harmless, absent CIT’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing indemnification shall survive termination of this Financing Agreement until such time as all Obligations (including the foregoing) have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full. In furtherance thereof CIT, may establish such reserves for Obligations hereunder (including any contingent Obligations) as it may deem advisable in its reasonable business judgement. Any applicable mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust or assignment(s) issued to CIT on the Real Estate shall govern the rights and remedies of CIT thereto.

SECTION 11. Termination

Except as otherwise permitted herein, CIT may terminate this Financing Agreement only as of the initial or any subsequent Anniversary Date and then only by giving the Company at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing CIT may terminate the Financing Agreement immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, provided, however, that if the Event of Default is an event listed in Paragraph 10.1(c) of Section 10 of this Financing Agreement, this Financing Agreement shall terminate in accordance with paragraph 10.2 of Section 10. This Financing Agreement, unless terminated as herein provided, shall automatically continue from Anniversary Date to Anniversary Date. The Company may terminate this Financing Agreement at any time upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to CIT, provided that the Company pays to CIT immediately on demand an Early Termination Fee

and/or the Prepayment Premium, if applicable. All Obligations shall become due and payable as of any termination hereunder or under Section 10 hereof and, pending a final accounting, CIT may withhold any balances in the Company’s account (unless supplied with an indemnity satisfactory to CIT) to cover all of the Obligations, whether absolute or contingent, including, but not limited to, cash reserves for any contingent Obligations, including an amount of 110% of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit with an expiry date on, or within thirty (30) days of the effective date of termination of this Financing Agreement. All of CIT’s rights, liens and security interests shall continue after any termination until all Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full.

SECTION 12. Miscellaneous

12.1 The Company hereby waives diligence, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand, presentment and protest and any notices thereof as well as notice of nonpayment. No delay or omission of CIT or the Company to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether before or after the happening of any Event of Default, shall impair any such right or shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a waiver of any such Event of Default. No single or partial exercise by CIT of any right or remedy precludes any other or further exercise thereof, or precludes any other right or remedy.

12.2 This Financing Agreement and the Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection therewith constitute the entire agreement between the Company and CIT; supersede any prior agreements; can be changed only by a writing signed by both the Company and CIT; and shall bind and benefit the Company and CIT and their respective successors and assigns.

12.3 In no event shall the Company, upon demand by CIT for payment of any indebtedness relating hereto, by acceleration of the maturity thereof, or otherwise, be obligated to pay interest and fees in excess of the amount permitted by law. Regardless of any provision herein or in any agreement made in connection herewith, CIT shall never be entitled to receive, charge or apply, as interest on any indebtedness relating hereto, any amount in excess of the maximum amount of interest permissible under applicable law. If CIT ever receives, collects or applies any such excess, it shall be deemed a partial repayment of principal and treated as such; and if principal is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be refunded to the Company. This paragraph shall control every other provision hereof, the Loan Documents and of any other agreement made in connection herewith.

12.4 If any provision hereof or of any other agreement made in connection herewith is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and the remaining provisions of the applicable agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such provision’s severance. Furthermore, in lieu of any such provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of the applicable agreement a legal and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the severed provision as may be possible.

12.5 THE COMPANY AND CIT EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS FINANCING AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED

THEREUNDER. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN NO EVENT WILL CIT BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR OTHER SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

12.6 Except as otherwise herein provided, any notice or other communication required hereunder shall be in writing (provided that, any electronic communications from the Company with respect to any request, transmission, document, electronic signature, electronic mail or facsimile transmission shall be deemed binding on the Company for purposes of this Financing Agreement, provided further that any such transmission shall not relieve the Company from any other obligation hereunder to communicate further in writing), and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered when hand delivered or sent by facsimile, or three days after deposit in the United State mails, with proper first class postage prepaid and addressed to the party to be notified or to such other address as any party hereto may designate for itself by like notice, as follows:
