The Revolving Loan shall initially bear interest as a Base Rate Loan and may be converted into a Libor Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(d).  Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C hereto (the “Revolving Note”).

2.2                               Procedure for Borrowing Advances.

(a)                                 The Borrower Representative shall notify the Lender by providing the Lender with a notice of loan substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E hereto (a “Notice of Loan”) prior to 11:00 A.M. on a Business Day of a Borrower’s request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Loan hereunder.  Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with the Lender, or with respect to any other Obligation, become due, the same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Loan charged to the Loan Account as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement with the Lender, and such request shall be irrevocable.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event a Borrower desires to obtain a Libor Rate Loan, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Lender in writing by providing a Notice of Loan to the Lender no later than 11:00 A.M. at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of such Revolving Loan to be borrowed, which amount shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 thereafter, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.  Interest Periods for Libor Rate Loans shall be for one (1), two (2), three (3) months or (6) months; provided, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day.  No Libor Rate Loan shall be made available to the Borrowers during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(c)                                  Each Interest Period of a Libor Rate Loan shall commence on the date such Libor Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as the Borrower Representative may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above, provided that the exact length of each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the practice of the interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall end on or after the Facility Termination Date.  The Borrower Representative shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Libor Rate Loan by its Notice of Loan given to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its Notice of Loan given to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(d), as the case may be.  The Borrower Representative shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice by providing a Notice of Loan to the Lender of such duration not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Libor Rate Loan.  If the Lender does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by the Borrower Representative, the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loan to a Base Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(d).

(d)                                 The Borrower Representative may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Libor Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Base Rate Loans, convert any such Loan into a Loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Libor Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Libor Rate Loan.  If a Borrower desires to convert a Loan, the Borrower Representative shall give the Lender not

21

less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice by providing a Notice of Loan to the Lender to convert from a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan or one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to convert from a Libor Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, specifying the date of such conversion, the Loans to be converted and if the conversion is from a Base Rate Loan to any other type of Loan, the duration of the Interest Period therefor; provided, however, a Borrower shall not be permitted to convert a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan or continue to select a Libor Rate Loan during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default.  After giving effect to each such conversion, there shall not be outstanding more than five (5) Libor Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

(e)                                  At its option and upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, a Borrower may prepay the Libor Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty, but with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment along with the payment of the Lender’s internal processing fees and all breakage fees, in each case, arising in connection of the prepayment of such Libor Rate Loans.  The Borrower Representative shall specify the date of prepayment of the Loans or Advances which are Libor Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment.  In the event that any prepayment of a Libor Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender therefor in accordance with Section 3.9.

2.3                               Disbursement of Loan Proceeds.    All Loans shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place in the United States the Lender may designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender, shall be charged to the Loan Account on the Lender’s books.  During the term of this Agreement, the Borrower Representative may use the Revolving Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.  The proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested by the Borrower Representative or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Section 2.2(a) shall, with respect to requested Revolving Loans to the extent the Lender makes such Revolving Loans, be made available to the Borrower Representative on the day so requested by way of credit to a Borrower’s Operating Account at the Lender, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds or, with respect to Revolving Loans deemed to have been requested by a Borrower, be disbursed to the Lender to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request.

2.4                               Maximum Advances.  Subject to Section 4.4, the Revolving Exposure outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Borrowing Amount.  If the Revolving Exposure at any time exceeds the Maximum Borrowing Amount, subject to Section 4.4, such excess shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred.

2.5                               Repayment of Loans; Reduction of Commitment.

(a)                                 The Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Facility Termination Date subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided.

(b)                                 Any Account Debtor payment with respect to Accounts which is evidenced by a check, note, draft or any other similar item of payment may not be immediately collectible.  In calculating outstanding availability, the Lender agrees that any such item of payment will be deemed to have been received by the Lender and will be provisionally credited to the Loan Account by the Lender on the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Lender has actual possession of such item of payment for deposit to a Cash Collateral Account.  In consideration of the Lender’s agreement for provisional crediting of items of payment, the

22

Borrowers agree that, in calculating interest and other charges on the Obligations, all Account Debtor payments will be treated as having been credited to the Loan Account on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which such payments are deemed to have been received by the Lender pursuant to this paragraph.

(c)                                  The Lender shall not be required to credit the Loan Account for the amount of any item of payment or other payment which is reasonably unsatisfactory to the Lender.  All credits (other than federal wire transfers) shall be provisional, subject to verification and final settlement.  The Lender may charge the Loan Account for the amount of any item of payment or other payment which is returned to the Lender unpaid or otherwise not collected.  The Borrowers agree that any information and data reported to the Borrowers pursuant to any service which is received prior to final posting and confirmation is subject to correction and is not to be construed as final posting information.  The Lender shall have no liability for the content of such preliminary service related information.

(d)                                 All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Lender at the Payment Office not later than 11:00 A.M. on the due date in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or other funds immediately available to the Lender.  The Lender shall have the right to effectuate payment on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging the Loan Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2.  The aggregate unpaid amount of Loans, types of Loans, Interest Periods and similar information with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit set forth on the records of Lender shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence with respect to such information, including the amounts of principal, interest and fees owing to Lender.

(e)                                  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including, without limitation, any payment to be made on any Loan, shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Loan; provided that, with respect to a Libor Rate Loan, if the next Business Day shall fall in the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly.

(f)                                   The Borrowers shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim.

(g)                                  After the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan has been reduced to $5,000,000 or less, the Borrowers may, from time to time, reduce the Revolving Commitment; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000, (ii) the Borrowers shall not be permitted to reduce the Revolving Commitment to less than $10,000,000, and (iii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitment if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with this Section 2.5(g), the Revolving Exposure would exceed the Maximum Borrowing Amount.

2.6                               Statement of Account.  The Lender shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account (“Loan Account”) in the name of the Borrowers in which shall be recorded, among other things, the date and amount of each Advance made by the Lender and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by the Lender to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect the Lender.

23

2.7                               Letters of Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuer shall (a) issue or cause the issuance of commercial documentary and standby letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) on behalf of the Borrowers; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the face amount of such Letters of Credit would then cause the Revolving Exposure to exceed the Maximum Borrowing Amount.  The maximum amount of the amount of Letters of Credit outstanding shall not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate at any time.  The Borrowers shall immediately reimburse the Lender or the Issuer for all disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit or the amounts of such disbursements or payments shall be charged to the Loan Account as a Revolving Loan of a Base Rate Loan and added to the Obligations on the next Business Day.

2.8                               Issuance of Letters of Credit.  The Borrower Representative may request the Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuer at the Payment Office the Issuer’s form of letter of credit application completed to the satisfaction of the Issuer; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuer may reasonably request no later than 11:00 A.M. noon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of such proposed issuance.  Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date not later than one year from the date of issuance.

2.9                               Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)                                 In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall indemnify, save and hold the Lender and the Issuer harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including payments made by the Lender or the Issuer and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Lender or the Issuer arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit to be issued or created for any Borrower, unless such loss, cost, expense or liability is caused by the Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Borrowers shall be bound by the Lender’s or the Issuer’s regulations and good faith interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued or created to the Loan Account, although this interpretation may be different from its own; and, neither the Lender, nor the Issuer nor any of their correspondents shall be liable for any error, negligence, or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in any Letter of Credit or of any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto or in issuing or paying any Letter of Credit.

(b)                                 The Borrowers shall authorize and direct the Issuer to deliver to the Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by the Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Lender’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, the application therefor or any acceptance therefor.

(c)                                  Immediately upon the request of the Lender, if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding after five (5) Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Borrowers will deposit and maintain in an account with the Lender in cash, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount of outstanding Letters of Credit.  In each case, the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Lender, in its discretion, on the Borrowers’ behalf and in any Borrower’s name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits in such account or in an account opened by the Borrowers, in the amounts required to be made by the Borrowers, out of the proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, from an Advance, or out of any other funds of the Borrowers coming into the Lender’s possession at any time.  The Lender will invest such cash collateral in such short-term money-market items as to which the Lender and the Borrowers mutually agree and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such

24

account and constitute additional cash collateral.  The Borrowers may not withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon payment and performance in full of all Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

2.10                        Term Loan.

(a)                                 Amount of the Term Loan.  The Lender agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers on the Closing Date, in an amount equal to the Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.  The Term Loan shall initially bear interest as a Base Rate Loan and may be converted into Libor Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(d).  The Term Loan shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D hereto (the “Term Loan Note”).

(b)                                 Initial Funding by Lender.  The Lender shall make the amount of the Term Loan available to the Borrowers on the Closing Date by transferring immediately available funds to the Loan Account or as the Borrower Representative shall otherwise instruct in writing.

(c)                                  Amortization; Regularly Scheduled Payments. The Term Loan shall amortize in sixty (60) equal monthly installments.  Each of the first thirty-one (31) installments of principal shall be in an amount equal to the amount of the Term Loan outstanding on March 31, 2013 divided by sixty (60) and shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on April 1, 2013.  The final payment shall be in the amount equal to the remaining principal balance of the Term Loan and shall be payable on the Facility Termination Date. Payments or prepayments of the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

(d)                                 Unscheduled Mandatory Payments.

(i)                                     Sale of Assets.  Upon the sale of any asset (other than Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business), including, without limitation, a Permitted Asset Disposition, to any Person other than to another Loan Party, the Borrowers shall make a mandatory payment on the Term Loan, on the date of such sale or other disposition, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds of such disposition net of amounts required to pay taxes and reasonable costs applicable to the disposition.

(ii)                                  Excess Cash Flow.  The Borrowers shall, on a date mutually agreeable to the Lender and the Borrowers, but in no event later than May 15 of each year beginning on May 15, 2014 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, until the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, make a prepayment on such Term Loans in an amount not less than fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the most recently completed fiscal year.

(iii)                               Application of Mandatory Payments.  Each mandatory payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.10(d) shall be applied to the Term Loan (to the payments of principal in the inverse order of maturities), with such payment first to be applied to any portion of the Term Loan that shall constitute the outstanding Base Rate Loan and then to any portion of the Term Loan that shall constitute outstanding Eurodollar Loans; provided that, if the outstanding principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan shall be reduced to an amount less than the minimum amount permitted under this Agreement as a result of such prepayment, then such Eurodollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the date of such prepayment.

25

2.11                        Additional Payments.  Any sums reasonably expended by the Lender due to any Loan Party’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under any Loan Document including the Loan Parties’ obligations under Sections 2.7, 4.2, 4.4, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 6.7 and 15.9, may be charged to the Loan Account as a Revolving Loan of a Base Rate Loan and added to the Obligations.  The Lender will provide notice of any such charge to the Borrower Representative, provided that, the failure to provide such notice shall not limit the Lender’s rights under this provision.

(a)                                 Interest on the Loans shall be payable (i) with respect to Base Rate Loans, in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar month and (ii) with respect to LIBOR Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the borrowing of which such LIBOR Loan is a part; provided that, if an Interest Period exceeds three months, the Interest must also be paid every three months, commencing with three months from the beginning of such Interest Period.  Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Loans outstanding during the calendar month.

(b)                                 Base Rate Loans shall bear interest for each day at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin, and Libor Rate Loans shall bear interest during each applicable Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Libor Rate plus the Applicable Libor Rate Margin.

(c)                                  Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Base Rate is increased or decreased, the interest rate for Base Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Base Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect.  The Libor Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Libor Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage as of such effective date.

(d)                                 Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Obligations due and owing hereunder (including all Letter of Credit Fees) shall bear interest at the highest applicable rate set forth in this Agreement plus two percent (2%) per annum.

3.2                               Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)                                 Trade or Commercial Documentary Letters of Credit.  With respect to each Letter of Credit that shall be a trade or commercial documentary letter of credit and the drafts thereunder, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Lender issuance, amendment, renewal, negotiation, draw, acceptance, telex, courier, postage and similar transactional fees as are customarily charged by the Lender in respect of the issuance and administration of similar letters of credit under its fee schedule as in effect from time to time.

26

(b)                                 Standby Letter of Credit.  The Borrowers shall pay (a) to the Lender, fees for each Letter of Credit, for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Percentage, such fees to be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and on the Facility Termination Date and (b) to the Issuer, for its own account, any and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by the Issuer and the Borrowers in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder and shall reimburse the Lender for any and all fees and expenses, if any, paid by the Lender to the Issuer (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”).  All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason.  Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in the Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction.

3.3                               Unused Facility Fee.  If, for any calendar month during the term of this Agreement, the average daily Revolving Exposure for each day of such calendar month does not equal the Revolving Commitment, then the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Unused Facility Fee Percentage multiplied by the amount by which the Revolving Commitment exceeds such average daily Revolving Exposure, such fees shall be payable to the Lender in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar month after the date hereof until the Facility Termination Date and on the Facility Termination Date.

3.4                               Administration Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender an administration fee in an amount equal to $15,000 on the Closing Date and on each anniversary of the Closing Date.

3.6                               Computation of Interest and Fees.  With the exception of Base Rate Loans, interest and fees hereunder, including Letter of Credit Fees, shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed.  With respect to Base Rate Loans, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty-five (365) days or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed.  If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable interest rate during such extension.

3.7                               Maximum Charges.  In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law.  In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by the Borrowers, and if then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, the Lender shall promptly refund such excess amount to the Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

3.8                               Increased Costs.  In the event that, (a) the introduction after the Closing Date of any law, treaty, rule or regulation or any change therein after the Closing Date, (b) any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation or administration of any law, treaty, rule or regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Body or (c) the compliance by the Lender or the Issuer with any guideline, request or

27

directive from any central bank or other Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law) after the Closing Date (for purposes of this Section 3.8, the term “Lender” shall include the Lender and any corporation or bank controlling the Lender and the office or branch where the Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Libor Rate Loans), shall:

(a)                                 subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Loan Document or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable under any Loan Documents (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Lender by 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, any office of the Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c)                                  impose on the Lender or the London interbank offered rate market any other condition with respect to any Loan Document;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Advances or the Term Loan hereunder by an amount that the Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances or the Term Loan by an amount that the Lender deems to be material, then, in any case the Borrowers shall promptly pay the Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate the Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the Libor Rate.  For purposes of this Section 3.8, any rules or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank of International Settlements pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) under Basel III, and any rules, regulations, orders and directives adopted, promulgated or implemented in connection with any of the foregoing, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, are deemed to have been introduced and adopted after the Closing Date.  The Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to the Borrower Representative, and such certification shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the Lender or Issuer pursuant to this Section for any costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of such additional costs or other amounts of the nature described in this Section.

3.9                               Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair; Indemnity; Libor Rate Unlawful.

(a)                                 In the event that the Lender shall have determined that:

(i)                                     reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 for any Interest Period; or

(ii)                                  Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank Libor market, with respect to an outstanding Libor Rate Loan, a proposed Libor Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a Libor Rate Loan,

then the Lender shall give the Borrower Representative prompt notice of such determination.  If such notice is given: (A) any such requested Libor Rate Loan shall be

28

made as a Base Rate Loan, unless the Borrower Representative shall notify the Lender no later than 10:00 A.M. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Libor Rate Loan, (B) any Base Rate Loan or Libor Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Libor Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Base Rate Loan, or, if the Borrower Representative shall notify the Lender, no later than 10:00 A.M. two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Libor Rate Loan, and (C) any outstanding affected Libor Rate Loans shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan, or, if the Borrower Representative shall notify the Lender, no later than 10:00 A.M. two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Libor Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Libor Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Libor Rate Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn, the Lender shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Libor Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Libor Rate Loans and the Borrowers shall not have the right to convert a Base Rate Loan or an unaffected type of Libor Rate Loan into an affected type of Libor Rate Loan.

(b)                                 The Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender and hold the Lender harmless from and against any and all losses and expenses that the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of, or any default by a Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Libor Rate Loan or failure by a Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Libor Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including any interest payable by the Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Libor Rate Loans hereunder.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any applicable law, treaty, regulation or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for the Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9(c), the term “Lender” shall include the Lender or the office or branch where the Lender or any corporation or bank controlling the Lender makes or maintains any Libor Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Libor Rate Loans, the obligation of the Lender to make Libor Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and the Borrowers shall, if any affected Libor Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from the Lender, either pay all such affected Libor Rate Loans or convert such affected Libor Rate Loans into loans of another type.  If any such payment or conversion of any Libor Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Libor Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall pay the Lender, upon the Lender’s request, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Lender for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by the Lender in respect of such Libor Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion, including any interest or other amounts payable by the Lender to lenders of funds obtained by the Lender in order to make or maintain such Libor Rate Loan.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by the Lender to the Borrower Representative shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.

3.10                        Capital Adequacy.  In the event that the Lender shall have determined that (a) the introduction after the Closing Date of any law, treaty, rule or regulation or any change therein after the Closing Date, (b) any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation or administration of any law, treaty, rule or regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Body or (c) the compliance by the Lender or the Issuer with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law) after the Closing Date (for purposes of this Section 3.10, the term “Lender” shall include the Lender and any corporation or bank controlling the Lender and the

29

office or branch where the Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Libor Rate Loans), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then, from time to time, the Borrowers shall pay upon demand to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction.  In determining such amount or amounts, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods.  The protection of this Section 3.10 shall be available to the Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition.  For purposes of this Section 3.10, any rules or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank of International Settlements pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) under Basel III, and any rules, regulations, orders and directives adopted, promulgated or implemented in connection with any of the foregoing, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, are deemed to have been introduced and adopted after the Closing Date.  A certificate of the Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate the Lender with respect to this Section 3.10 when delivered to the Borrower Representative shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the Lender or Issuer pursuant to this Section for any costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of such additional costs or other amounts of the nature described in this Section.

33

as the Lender may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash.  The Lender is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage with respect to Collateral.  Within ten days after the occurrence of a Material Recovery Event, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Lender written notice thereof.  Within sixty (60) days after such Material Recovery Event, the Borrower shall notify the Lender of the Borrowers’ determination as to whether or not to replace, rebuild or restore the affected property (a “Material Recovery Determination Notice”).  If the Borrowers decide not to replace, rebuild or restore such property or if the Borrowers have not delivered the Material Recovery Determination Notice within sixty (60) days after such Material Recovery Event, then the proceeds of insurance paid in connection with such Material Recovery Event, when received, shall be applied to the Obligations, in such order as the Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.  Any surplus with respect to Collateral shall be paid by the Lender to the Loan Parties or applied as may be otherwise required by law.  Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by the Loan Parties to the Lender, on demand.  Any loss recoveries not relating to items of Collateral shall be payable directly to the Loan Parties and, if received by the Lender, the Lender shall promptly deliver same to the Loan Parties.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.11 to the contrary, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the Borrowers decide to replace, rebuild or restore such property, then any such replacement, rebuilding or restoration must be (a) commenced within six months of the date of the Material Recovery Event, and (b) substantially completed within twelve (12) months of such commencement date, with such casualty insurance proceeds and other net proceeds and other funds available to the Borrowers for replacement, rebuilding or restoration of such property.  Any amounts of such insurance proceeds not applied to the costs of replacement or restoration shall be applied to the Obligations, in such order as the Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

4.12                        Failure to Pay Insurance.  If any Loan Party fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, the Lender, if the Lender so elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of such Loan Party, and such premium shall be charged to the Loan Account as a Revolving Loan of a Base Rate Loan and added to the Obligations.  The Lender shall give notice to the Borrower Representative of any action it takes pursuant to this Section, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not limit the Lender’s rights hereunder.

4.13                        Payment of Taxes.  Each Loan Party will pay, when due, all material taxes, assessments and other Charges lawfully levied or assessed upon such Loan Party or any of the Collateral including real and personal property taxes, assessments and Charges and all franchise, income, employment, social security benefits, withholding, and sales taxes, except those taxes, assessments or Charges to the extent that any Loan Party has contested or disputed those taxes, assessments or Charges in good faith, by expeditious protest, administrative or judicial appeal or similar proceeding provided that any related tax Lien is stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lender to protect the Lender’s security interest in or Lien on the Collateral.  If any tax by any Governmental Body is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any Loan Party and the Lender or the Issuer which the Lender or the Issuer may be required to withhold or pay or if any taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in the Lender’s opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, the Lender may without notice to the Loan Parties pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges and each Loan Party hereby indemnifies and holds the Lender and the Issuer harmless in respect thereof.  The Lender will not pay any taxes, assessments or Charges to the extent that any Loan Party has contested or disputed those taxes, assessments or Charges in good faith, by expeditious protest, administrative or judicial appeal or similar proceeding provided that any related tax lien is stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lender to protect the Lender’s security interest in or Lien on the Collateral.  The amount of any payment by the Lender under this Section 4.13 shall be charged to the Loan Account as a Revolving Loan of a Base Rate Loan and added to the Obligations.  If a payment made to a Lender or Issuer under this Agreement would not be subject (in whole or in part) to U.S. federal withholding tax

34

imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Issuer were to comply with the applicable reporting or disclosure requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender and Issuer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Borrower Representative, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, such documentation or certifications prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation or certifications reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative as may be necessary for the Borrowers to comply with their obligations to withhold or report under FATCA, to determine that such Lender and Issuer, as applicable has complied with such Lender’s and Issuer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment.

4.14                        Payment of Leasehold Obligations.  Each Loan Party shall at all times pay, when and as due, its rental obligations under (a) all material Real Property leases where no Inventory is stored or located and (b) all Real Property leases for any location at which Inventory is stored or located, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect and, at the Lender’s reasonable request will provide evidence of having done so.

upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by the Lender or the Issuer to the other Borrowers or any Collateral for such Borrower’s Obligations or the lack thereof.  Each Borrower waives all suretyship defenses.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Borrowers hereby acknowledges and agrees that any and all actions, inactions or omissions by any one or more, or all, of the Borrowers in connection with, related to or otherwise affecting this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents are the obligations of, and inure to and are binding upon, each and all of the Borrowers, jointly and severally.  Each covenant, agreement, obligation, representation and warranty of the Borrowers contained herein constitutes the joint and several undertaking of each Borrower.  Each Borrower acknowledges that the obligations of such Borrower undertaken herein might be construed to consist, at least in part, of the guaranty of obligations of the other Borrowers and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that the Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, whether before or after any actual or purported termination, repudiation or revocation of this Agreement by any Borrower, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof as to such Borrower:  (a) supplement, restate, modify, amend, increase, decrease, extend, renew or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of this Agreement or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon; (b) supplement, restate, modify, amend, increase, decrease or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, this Agreement or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder; (c) accept partial payments; (d) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer or enforce any security or guarantees, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion may determine; (e) release any Person from any personal liability with respect to this Agreement or any part thereof; (f) settle, release on terms satisfactory to the Lender or by operation of applicable law or otherwise liquidate or enforce any security or guaranty in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; or (g) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate or partnership existence of any Borrower, or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the obligations evidenced hereby, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Borrower or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the obligations evidenced hereby.  Each Borrower states and acknowledges that:  (w) pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on a consolidated basis to the same extent possible as if they were merged into a single corporate entity and that this Agreement reflects the establishment of credit facilities which would not otherwise be available to such Borrower if each Borrower were not jointly and severally liable for payment of the obligations; (x) it has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement; (y) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of the Lender hereunder and a desire of the Borrowers that each Borrower execute and deliver to the Lender this Agreement; and (z) the Borrowers have requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the advances contemplated by this Agreement.  Each Borrower agrees if such Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder, or if any Liens securing such joint and several liability, would, but for the application of this Section 14.2, be unenforceable under applicable law, such joint and several liability and each such Lien shall be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent that would not cause such joint and several liability or such Lien to be unenforceable under applicable law, and such joint and several liability and such Lien shall be deemed to have been automatically amended accordingly at all relevant times.  To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans or Advances made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and, be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the

66

Borrowers.  As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (A) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (B) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or (C) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification and reimbursement under this Section shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

14.3                        Notices.  Each Borrower shall immediately notify the Borrower Representative of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.  Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by the Borrower Representative.

14.4                        Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificate.  The Borrowers hereby empower and authorize the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to execute and deliver to the Lender the Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Borrowing Base Certificates and the Compliance Certificates.  Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers.

14.5                        Waivers.  Each Borrower expressly waives (a) until such time as all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property (including, any property which is Collateral for the Secured Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations and (b) any defense it may otherwise have to the payment and performance of the Obligations based on any contention that its liability hereunder and under the Loan Documents is limited and not joint and several.  Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers serve as a material inducement to the agreement of the Lender and the Issuer to make the Advances and other Loans, and that the Lender and the Issuer are relying on each specific waiver and all such waivers in entering into this Agreement.  The undertakings of each Borrower hereunder secure the Secured Obligations of itself and the other Borrowers.

ARTICLE 15
MISCELLANEOUS

15.1                        Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.  Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Loan Party with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement or any related agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Ohio, United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Loan Party accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement.  Each Loan Party hereby waives

15.7                        Survival.  The obligations of the Loan Parties under Sections 2.9, 2.11, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 15.5 shall survive termination of the Loan Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.

15.8                        Severability.  If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

15.9                        Expenses.  All costs, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including the allocated costs of in house counsel), and disbursements incurred by the Lender on its behalf or on behalf of the Issuer (a) in all efforts made to enforce payment of any Secured Obligation or effect collection of any Collateral, (b) in connection with the entering into, modification, amendment, administration and enforcement of this Agreement or any consents or waivers hereunder and all related agreements, documents and instruments, (c) in instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing and foreclosing on the Lender’s security interest in or Lien on any of the Collateral, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, (d) in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Lender’s or the Issuer’s transactions with any Loan Party, or (e) in connection with any advice given to the Lender or the Issuer with respect to its rights and obligations under this Agreement and all related agreements, may be charged to the Loan Account as a Revolving Loan of a Base Rate Loan and added to the Obligations.  Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section include costs and expenses incurred in connection with:  (u) appraisals and insurance reviews; (v) field examinations and the preparation of reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Lender or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Lender with respect to each field examination; (w) background checks regarding senior management and/or key investors, as deemed necessary or appropriate in the sole discretion of the Lender; (x) taxes, fees and other charges for (i) lien and title searches and title insurance and (ii) recording any mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Lender’s Liens; (y) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and (z) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral.

71

15.10                 Injunctive Relief.  Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event any Loan Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lender and/or the Issuer; therefore, the Lender, if the Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

15.11                 Consequential Damages.  Neither the Lender, nor the Issuer, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Loan Party for any special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations.

15.12                 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile or email transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

15.13                 Construction.  The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits thereto.

15.14                 Confidentiality; Sharing Information.

(a)                                 The Lender, the Issuer and each transferee of the Lender or the Issuer pursuant to Section 15.3 (a “Transferee”) shall hold all non-public information obtained by the Lender, the Issuer or such Transferee in accordance with the Lender’s, the Issuer’s and such Transferee’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature; provided, however, the Lender, the Issuer and such Transferee may disclose such confidential information (a) to its examiners, affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and other professional advisors, (b) to the Lender, the Issuer and such Transferee and (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process.

(b)                                 Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Loan Party or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by the Lender, the Issuer or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Lender or the Issuer and each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Lender and the Issuer to share any information delivered to the Lender or the Issuer by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of the Lender or the Issuer to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Lender or the Issuer, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Lender or the Issuer receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 15.14 as if it were the Lender or the Issuer, as the case may be, hereunder.  Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of the Agreement.

15.15                 Approved Electronic Communication System.(a)               Unless otherwise specifically identified therein, each posting to an Approved Electronic Communication System shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrowers as of the date of such posting, of the accuracy of the information provided with respect thereto, and that each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct as if made on and as of the date of such posting.

72

(b)                                 Although the Approved Electronic Communication System is secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified from time to time, the Borrowers and each other Loan Party acknowledge and agree that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby approves of the use of the Approved Electronic Communication System and understands and assumes the risks of using such forms of communication.

(c)                                  The Approved Electronic Communication System is provided “as is” and “as available”.  Neither the Lender nor any of the Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, agents or employees warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communication System and each expressly disclaims any liability for errors or omissions in the Approved Electronic Communication System. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Lender (or any of the Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, agents or employees) in connection with the Approved Electronic Communication System.

(d)                                 The Borrowers and each other Loan Party agree that the Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, store information provided through the Approved Communication System in accordance with the Lender’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies in effect from time to time.

15.16                 CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT.  THE LOAN PARTIES HEREBY AUTHORIZE ANY ATTORNEY-AT-LAW TO APPEAR IN ANY COURT OF RECORD IN ANY COUNTY IN THE STATE OF OHIO OR ELSEWHERE WHERE A LOAN PARTY HAS A PLACE OF BUSINESS, SIGNED THIS AGREEMENT OR CAN BE FOUND, AFTER THE LENDER DECLARES A DEFAULT AND ACCELERATES THE BALANCES DUE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, TO WAIVE THE ISSUANCE OF SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST THE LOAN PARTIES IN FAVOR OF THE LENDER FOR THE AMOUNTS THEN APPEARING DUE, TOGETHER WITH THE COSTS OF SUIT, AND THEREUPON TO RELEASE ALL ERRORS AND WAIVE ALL RIGHT OF APPEAL AND STAY OF EXECUTION.  THE LOAN PARTIES AGREE AND CONSENT THAT THE ATTORNEY CONFESSING JUDGMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LOAN PARTIES HEREUNDER MAY ALSO BE COUNSEL TO THE LENDER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, WAIVES ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE ARISE, AND CONSENTS TO THE LENDER PAYING SUCH CONFESSING ATTORNEY A LEGAL FEE OR ALLOWING SUCH ATTORNEY’S FEES TO BE PAID FROM ANY PROCEEDS OF COLLECTION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR COLLATERAL SECURITY THEREFOR.
