Within the limits set forth in this Section 2.1, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.10, and reborrow.
     Section 2.2 Procedures for Requesting Advances. The Borrowers shall comply with the following procedures in requesting Revolving Advances:
     (a) Time for Requests. The Borrowers shall request each Advance not later than the Cut-off Time on the Business Day on which the Advance is to be made. Each request that conforms to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective upon receipt by the Lender, shall be in writing or by telephone by Global, and shall be confirmed in writing by each Borrower requesting such Advance if so requested by the Lender, by (i) an Officer of each Borrower requesting such Advance; or (ii) a Person designated as such Borrower’s agent by an Officer of such Borrower in a writing delivered to the Lender; or (iii) a Person whom the Lender reasonably believes to be an Officer of such Borrower or such a designated agent.

Any request for an Advance, whether written or telephonic, shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied as of the time of the request.
     (b) Disbursement. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Lender shall disburse the proceeds of the Advance requested by each Borrower by crediting the same to Global’s demand deposit account maintained with the Lender unless the Lender and such Borrower shall agree in writing to another manner of disbursement.

          (ii) Availability.
Each Letter of Credit, if any, shall be issued pursuant to a separate L/C Application made by one or more of the Borrowers to the Lender, which must be completed in a manner satisfactory to the Lender.

     (b) No Letter of Credit shall be issued with an expiry date later than the Maturity Date in effect as of the date of issuance. Any request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied as of the date of the request.
     (c) If a draft is submitted under a Letter of Credit when the Borrowers are unable, because a Default Period exists or for any other reason, to obtain a Revolving Advance to pay the Obligation of Reimbursement, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender on demand and in immediately available funds, the amount of the Obligation of Reimbursement together with interest, accrued from the date of the draft until payment in full, at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the Borrowers’ inability to obtain a Revolving Advance for any reason, the Lender is irrevocably authorized, in its sole discretion, to make a Revolving Advance in an amount sufficient to discharge the Obligation of Reimbursement and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.
     (d) If the Credit Facility is terminated for any reason while any Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Borrowers shall thereupon pay the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account an amount equal to the L/C Amount plus any anticipated fees and costs. If the Borrowers fail to promptly make any such payment in the amount required hereunder, then the Lender may make a Revolving Advance against the Credit Facility in an amount sufficient to fulfill this obligation and deposit the proceeds to the Special Account. The Special Account shall be an interest bearing account either maintained with the Lender or with a financial institution acceptable to the Lender. Any interest earned on amounts deposited in the Special Account shall be credited to the Special Account.

     (f) Usury. In any event no rate change shall be put into effect which would result in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, all agreements which either now are or which shall become agreements between any Borrower and the Lender are hereby limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws. If any payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges made under any Loan Document are held to be in excess of the limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, it is agreed that any such amount held to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal hereunder, and the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, in compliance with the desires of the Borrowers and the Lender.

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

-19-


 

     (h) Amendment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender as of the date hereof a fully earned, non-refundable fee in the amount of $25,000 in consideration of the Lender’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Lender’s waiver of certain defaults in connection with this Agreement.
     (i) Other Fees and Charges. The Lender may from time to time impose additional fees and charges as consideration for Advances made in excess of Availability or for other events that constitute an Event of Default or a Default hereunder, including fees and charges for the administration of Collateral by the Lender, and fees and charges for the late delivery of reports, which may be assessed in the Lender’s sole discretion on either an hourly, periodic, or flat fee basis, and in lieu of or in addition to imposing interest at the Default Rate.
     Section 2.8 Time for Interest Payments; Payment on Non-Business Days; Computation of Interest and Fees.
     (a) Time For Interest Payments. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of advance to the Interest Payment Date.
     (b) Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest on the Advances or the fees hereunder, as the case may be.
     (c) Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Advances and fees hereunder outstanding from time to time shall be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.
     Section 2.9 Lockbox and Collateral Account; Southeastern Blocked Account; Sweep of Funds.
     (a) Lockbox and Collateral Account.
     (i) Each Borrower, except for Southeastern, shall instruct all of its account debtors to pay all of its Accounts directly to the Lockbox. If, notwithstanding such instructions, any Borrower receives any payments on Accounts, such Borrower shall deposit such payments into the Collateral Account. Each Borrower shall also deposit all other cash proceeds of Collateral regardless of source or nature directly into the Collateral Account. Until so deposited, such Borrower shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the property of the Lender and shall not commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property. All deposits in the Collateral Account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Indebtedness. On a daily basis, amounts deposited into the Collateral Account shall be applied toward payment of principal and interest on the Advances.
     (ii) As long as no Default has occurred and is continuing and, at all times after January 1, 2005, the average Availability over a rolling three month period is at least

-20-


 

$3,000,000, Southeastern may instruct its account debtors to pay all Accounts directly to any of Southeastern’s demand deposit accounts and may commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property.
     (iii) If a Default has occurred and is continuing or, at any time after January 1, 2005, the average Availability over a rolling three month period is less than $3,000,000, (A) Southeastern shall immediately instruct all of its account debtors to pay all Accounts directly to the Southeastern Blocked Account and (B) the Lender may instruct the financial institution where the Southeastern Blocked Account has been established to transfer, on a daily basis, all funds held in the Southeastern Blocked Account to the Lender which funds shall be applied toward payment of principal and interest on the Advances. If, notwithstanding such instructions by Southeastern, Southeastern receives any payments on Accounts, Southeastern shall deposit such payments into the Southeastern Blocked Account. Southeastern shall also deposit all other cash proceeds of Collateral regardless of source or nature directly into the Southeastern Blocked Account. Until so deposited, Southeastern shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the property of the Lender and shall not commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property. All deposits in the Southeastern Blocked Account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Indebtedness. Southeastern shall at all times maintain the Southeastern Blocked Account. On a daily basis, all funds held in the Southeastern Blocked Account shall be transferred to the Lender and applied toward payment of principal and interest on the Advances.
     (iv) All items deposited in the Collateral Account and the Southeastern Blocked Account shall be subject to final payment. If any such item is returned uncollected, the Borrowers will immediately pay the Lender, or, for items deposited in the Collateral Account or the Southeastern Blocked Account, the bank maintaining such account, the amount of that item, or such bank at its discretion may charge any uncollected item to the Borrowers’ commercial account or other account. The Borrowers shall be liable as an endorser on all items deposited in the Collateral Account and the Southeastern Blocked Account, whether or not in fact endorsed by the Borrowers.
     (v) Each Borrower (excluding Southeastern) acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the execution of this Agreement, such Borrower will execute a Wholesale Lockbox and Collection Account Agreement, at which time any Lockbox and Collection Account Agreement previously executed by such Borrowers will terminate.
     (b) Sweep of Funds. The Lender shall from time to time, in accordance with the Wholesale Lockbox and Collection Account Agreement, cause funds in the Collateral Account to be transferred to the Lender’s general account for payment of the Indebtedness. Amounts deposited in the Collateral Account or the Southeastern Blocked Account shall not be subject to withdrawal by the Borrowers, except after payment in full and discharge of all Indebtedness.
     Section 2.10 Voluntary Prepayment; Reduction of the Maximum Line Amount; Termination of the Credit Facility by the Borrower. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may prepay the Advances in whole at any time or from time to time in part. The Borrowers may terminate the Credit Facility or reduce the Maximum Line Amount at any time if

-21-


 

they (i) give the Lender at least 30 days advance written notice prior to the proposed Termination Date, and (ii) pay the Lender applicable termination and Maximum Line Amount reduction fees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any reduction in the Maximum Line Amount shall be in multiples of $100,000, and with a minimum reduction of at least $500,000. If the Borrowers terminate the Credit Facility or reduce the Maximum Line Amount to zero, all Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable, and if the Borrowers give the Lender less than the required 30 days advance written notice, then the interest rate applicable to borrowings evidenced by the Revolving Note shall be the Default Rate for the period of time commencing 30 days prior to the proposed Termination Date through the date that the Lender actually receives such written notice. If the Borrowers do not wish the Lender to consider renewal of the Credit Facility on the next Maturity Date, then the Borrowers shall give the Lender at least 30 days written notice prior to the Maturity Date that they will not be requesting renewal. If the Borrowers fail to give the Lender such timely notice, then the interest rate applicable to borrowings evidenced by the Revolving Note shall be the Default Rate for the period of time commencing 30 days prior to the Maturity Date through the date that the Lender actually receives such written notice.
     Section 2.11 Mandatory Prepayment. Without notice or demand, if the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances plus the L/C Amount shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Base, or if the Revolving Advances plus the L/C Amount outstanding to any one Borrower exceeds such Borrower’s Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall (i) first, immediately prepay the Revolving Advances to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess; and (ii) if prepayment in full of the Revolving Advances is insufficient to eliminate such excess, pay to the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account an amount equal to the remaining excess. Except as provided in Section 2.5, any voluntary or mandatory prepayment received by the Lender under this Agreement may be applied to the Indebtedness, in such order and in such amounts as the Lender in its sole discretion may determine from time to time.
     Section 2.12 Revolving Advances to Pay Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.1, the Lender may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without a Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 would not be satisfied, make a Revolving Advance in an amount equal to the portion of the Indebtedness from time to time due and payable, and may deliver the proceeds of any such Revolving Advance to Wells Fargo Merchant Services, L.L.C. in satisfaction of any unpaid obligations due to Wells Fargo Merchant Services, L.L.C.
     Section 2.13 Use of Proceeds. Each Borrower shall use the proceeds of Advances and each Letter of Credit to repay existing debt obligations of the Borrowers and for ordinary working capital purposes.
     Section 2.14 Liability Records. The Lender may maintain from time to time, at its discretion, records as to the Indebtedness. All entries made on any such record shall be presumed correct until the Borrowers establish the contrary. Upon the Lender’s demand, the Borrowers will admit and certify in writing the exact principal balance of the Indebtedness that the Borrowers then assert to be outstanding. Any billing statement or accounting rendered by the

-22-


 

Lender shall be conclusive and fully binding on the Borrowers unless the Borrowers give the Lender specific written notice of exception within 30 days after receipt.
ARTICLE III
SECURITY INTEREST; OCCUPANCY; SETOFF
     Section 3.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Lender for the benefit of itself and as agent for Wells Fargo Merchant Services, L.L.C., a lien and security interest (collectively referred to as the “Security Interest”) in the Collateral, as security for the payment and performance of (a) all present and future Indebtedness of such Borrower to the Lender; (b) all obligations of such Borrower and rights of the Lender under this Agreement; and (c) all present and future obligations of such Borrower to the Lender of other kinds. Upon request by the Lender, the Borrowers will grant to the Lender, for the benefit of itself and as agent for Wells Fargo Merchant Services, L.L.C. a security interest in all commercial tort claims that any Borrower may have against any Person.
     Section 3.2 Notification of Account Debtors and Other Obligors. The Lender may at any time (whether or not a Default Period then exists) notify any account debtor or other Person obligated to pay the amount due that such right to payment has been assigned or transferred to the Lender for security and shall be paid directly to the Lender. The Borrowers will join in giving such notice if the Lender so requests. At any time after the Borrowers or the Lender give such notice to an account debtor or other obligor, the Lender may, but need not, in the Lender’s name or in any Borrower’s name, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such right to payment, or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend or change the obligations (including collateral obligations) of any such account debtor or other obligor. The Lender may, in the Lender’s name or in any Borrower’s name, as such Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact, notify the United States Postal Service to change the address for delivery of the Borrower’s mail to any address designated by the Lender, otherwise intercept such Borrower’s mail, and receive, open and dispose of such Borrower’s mail, applying all Collateral as permitted under this Agreement and holding all other mail for such Borrower’s account or forwarding such mail to such Borrower’s last known address.
     Section 3.3 Assignment of Insurance. As additional security for the payment and performance of the Indebtedness, the Borrowers hereby assign to the Lender any and all monies (including proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of the Borrowers with respect to, any and all policies of insurance now or at any time hereafter covering the Collateral or any evidence thereof or any business records or valuable papers pertaining thereto, and the Borrowers hereby direct the issuer of any such policy to pay all such monies directly to the Lender. At any time, whether or not a Default Period then exists, the Lender may (but need not), in the Lender’s name or in any of the Borrowers’ names, execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy. Any monies received as payment for any loss under any insurance policy mentioned above (other than liability insurance policies) or as payment of any award or compensation for condemnation or taking by eminent domain, shall be

-23-


 

paid over to the Lender to be applied, at the option of the Lender, either to the prepayment of the Indebtedness or shall be disbursed to the Borrowers under staged payment terms reasonably satisfactory to the Lender for application to the cost of repairs, replacements or restorations. Any such repairs, replacements or restorations shall be effected with reasonable promptness and shall be of a value at least equal to the value of the items or property destroyed prior to such damage or destruction.
     Section 3.4 Occupancy.
     (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably grants to the Lender the right to take exclusive possession of the Premises at any time during a Default Period without notice or consent.
     (b) The Lender may use the Premises only to hold, process, manufacture, sell, use, store, liquidate, realize upon or otherwise dispose of goods that are Collateral and for other purposes that the Lender may in good faith deem to be related or incidental purposes.
     (c) The Lender’s right to hold the Premises shall cease and terminate upon the earlier of (i) payment in full and discharge of all Indebtedness and termination of the Credit Facility, and (ii) final sale or disposition of all goods constituting Collateral and delivery of all such goods to purchasers.
     (d) The Lender shall not be obligated to pay or account for any rent or other compensation for the possession, occupancy or use of any of the Premises; provided, however, that if the Lender does pay or account for any rent or other compensation for the possession, occupancy or use of any of the Premises, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Lender promptly for the full amount thereof. In addition, the Borrowers will pay, or reimburse the Lender for, all taxes, fees, duties, imposts, charges and expenses at any time incurred by or imposed upon the Lender by reason of the execution, delivery, existence, recordation, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or the provisions of this Section 3.4.
     Section 3.5 License. Without limiting the generality of any other Security Document, each Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property Rights of such Borrower for the purpose of: (a) completing the manufacture of any in-process materials during any Default Period so that such materials become saleable Inventory, all in accordance with the same quality standards previously adopted by such Borrower for its own manufacturing and subject to such Borrower’s reasonable exercise of quality control; and (b) selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral during any Default Period.
     Section 3.6 Financing Statement. Each Borrower authorizes the Lender to file from time to time, such financing statements against collateral described as “all personal property” or “all assets” or describing specific items of collateral including commercial tort claims as the Lender deems necessary or useful to perfect the Security Interest. All financing statements filed before the date hereof to perfect the Security Interest were authorized by the Borrowers and are hereby re-authorized. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing statements signed by the Borrowers is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed as a financing statement in any state to perfect the security interests granted hereby.

     Section 3.7 Setoff. The Lender may at any time or from time to time, at its sole discretion and without demand and without notice to anyone, setoff any liability owed to any Borrower by the Lender, whether or not due, against any Indebtedness, whether or not due. In addition, each other Person holding a participating interest in any Indebtedness shall have the right to appropriate or setoff any deposit or other liability then owed by such Person to any Borrower, whether or not due, and apply the same to the payment of said participating interest, as fully as if such Person had lent directly to such Borrower the amount of such participating interest.
     Section 3.8 Collateral. This Agreement does not contemplate a sale of accounts, contract rights or chattel paper, and, as provided by law, the Borrowers are entitled to any surplus and shall remain liable for any deficiency. The Lender’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if it exercises reasonable care in physically keeping such Collateral, or in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third Person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third Person, and the Lender need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. The Lender shall not be obligated to preserve any rights the Borrowers may have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order or to apply any cash proceeds of the Collateral in any particular order of application. The Lender has no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Borrowers waive any right they may have to require the Lender to pursue any third Person for any of the Indebtedness.

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

The Borrowers will from time to time execute, deliver, endorse and authorize the filing of any and all instruments, documents, conveyances, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, control agreements and other agreements and writings that the Lender may reasonably request in order to secure, protect, perfect or enforce the Security Interest or the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents (but any failure to request or assure that the Borrowers execute, deliver, endorse or authorize the filing of any such item shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Loan Documents and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed, delivered or endorsed in a similar context or on a prior occasion).
     Section 8.5 Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay on demand all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Lender in connection with the Indebtedness , this Agreement, the Loan Documents, any Letter of Credit and any other document or agreement related hereto or thereto, and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all such costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, amendment, administration, performance, collection and enforcement of the Indebtedness and all such documents and agreements and the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interest.
     Section 8.6 Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 8.5, the Borrowers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender, and any of its participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, successor corporations, and all present and future officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents of the foregoing (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any of the following (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”):
     (i) Any and all transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents or the making of the Advances;
     (ii) Any claims, loss or damage to which any Indemnitee may be subjected if any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.14 proves to be incorrect in any respect or as a result of any violation of the covenant contained in Section 6.11(b); and

-52-


 

     (iii) Any and all other liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the foregoing and any other investigative, administrative or judicial proceedings, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner related to or arising out of or in connection with the making of the Advances and the Loan Documents or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances.
If any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Indemnitee, upon such Indemnitee’s request, the Borrowers, or counsel designated by the Borrowers and satisfactory to the Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee, at the Borrowers’ sole costs and expense. Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. If the foregoing undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless may be held to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrowers shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Borrowers’ other obligations hereunder.
     Section 8.7 Participants. The Lender and its participants, if any, are not partners or joint venturers, and the Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for any obligation, act or omission of any of its participants. All rights and powers specifically conferred upon the Lender may be transferred or delegated to any of the Lender’s participants, successors or assigns.

TAX MATTERS
Placer Staffing, Inc. (“Placer”) is an inactive subsidiary of Southeastern Staffing, Inc. Placer is current in its taxes and has no assets nor liabilities. We are currently working on dissolving Placer which process involves filing Placer’s final tax returns for the fiscal years 2005 (otherwise scheduled to be due in September 2006 according to Placer’s regular filing schedule) and 2006 (for time period January 1, 2006 until dissolution) with the State of California. We will not know the extent of Placer’s tax liability for those years until our accountants have completed the tax returns. However, we expect Placer’s tax liability for those years to be zero, although Placer will be liable for any applicable annual fees.
