REVOLVING LOANS AND COLLECTIONS ------------------------------- 3.1 FUNDING CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES. --------------------------------- (a) AMOUNTS AND REQUESTS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Financing Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages, severally (and not jointly) agree to make loans and advances to the Borrowing Agent, for the benefit of the Companies, on a revolving basis (i.e. subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Borrowing Agent, for the benefit of the Companies, may borrow, repay and re-borrow Revolving Loans). In no event shall the Agent or any Lender have an obligation to make a Revolving Loan to any Company, nor shall the Borrowing Agent be entitled to request or receive a Revolving Loan, if (i) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding on the date of request for such Revolving Loan or the date of the funding thereof, (ii) the amount of such Revolving Loan, when added to the principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the date of the request therefor or the funding thereof, would exceed the Revolving Line of Credit, or (iii) amount of such Revolving Loan would exceed the Net Availability on the date of the request therefor or the funding thereof. Any request for a Revolving Loan must be received by an officer of the Agent no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (a) on the Business Day on which such Revolving Loan is required, if the request is for a Chase Bank Rate Loan, or (b) three (3) Business Days prior to the Business Day on which such Revolving Loan is required, if the request is for a LIBOR Loan. The funding of any LIBOR Loan is also subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.9 of this Financing Agreement. (b) PHONE AND ELECTRONIC LOAN REQUESTS. Each Company hereby authorizes the Agent and the Lenders to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowing Agent, for the benefit of the Companies, based upon a telephonic or e-mail request (or, if permitted by the Agent, based upon a request posted on CIT's System) made by any officer or other employee of the Borrowing Agent that the Borrowing Agent has authorized in writing to request Revolving Loans hereunder, as reflected by the Agent's records. Each telephonic, e-mail or posted request by the Borrowing Agent shall be irrevocable, and the Borrowing Agent agrees to confirm any such request for a Revolving Loan in a writing approved by the Agent and signed by such authorized officer or employee, within one (1) Business Day of the Agent's request for such confirmation. The Agent shall have the right to rely on any telephonic, e-mail or posted request for a Revolving Loan made by anyone purporting to be an officer or other employee of the Borrowing Agent that the Borrowing Agent has authorized in writing to request Revolving Loans hereunder, without further investigation. (c) ADVANCES BY THE AGENT. The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall disburse all loans and advances to the Borrowing Agent and shall handle all collections of Collateral and repayment of all Obligations. It is understood that for purposes of advances to the Borrowing Agent and for purposes of this Section 3.1, the Agent will be using the funds of the Agent, and pending settlement, all interest accruing on such advances shall be payable to the Agent. 23 (d) SETTLEMENT AMONG LENDERS. (i) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to any advance to the Borrowing Agent that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its Pro Rata Percentage of the borrowing on such date available to the Agent, the Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to the Agent on a Settlement Date, and in reliance upon such assumption, the Agent may make available to the Borrowing Agent a corresponding amount. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such borrowing is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender on the Settlement Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover from any Company, on demand, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such borrowing, together with interest thereon (for the account of the Agent) at the rate per annum applicable to such borrowing, without prejudice to any rights which the Agent may have against such Lender under Section 13.3 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate the Agent to make available to the Borrowing Agent the full amount of a requested advance when the Agent has any notice (written or otherwise) that any of the Lenders will not advance its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. (ii) On each Settlement Date, the Agent and the Lenders shall each remit to the other, in immediately available funds, all amounts necessary so as to ensure that, as of the Settlement Date, the Lenders shall advanced their respective Pro Rata Percentages of all outstanding Revolving Loans. Each Lender's obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in Section 3.1(a) and to make the settlements pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (v) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which any such Lender or any Company may have against the Agent, any Company, any other Lender or any other person, (w) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (x) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Company, (y) any breach of this Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Company or any other Lender or (z) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. (e) REAFFIRMATION OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6.7, 6.8, 6.9 and 7.1, all of the representations and warranties made by each Company in this Financing Agreement shall be deemed to be remade by such Company each time that the Borrowing Agent requests a Revolving Loan under this Financing Agreement, and each such request shall also constitute a representation and warranty by such Company that, after giving effect to the requested Revolving Loan, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding. (f) TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND INVENTORY OF TARGET. In no event shall any Trade Accounts Receivable or Inventory, title to which shall have been acquired by a Company pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition, or which shall be held by a Target which is the subject of a Permitted Acquisition and which has become a party to this Financing Agreement pursuant to the satisfaction of the Acquisition Conditions, in either case constitute Eligible 24 Accounts Receivables or Eligible Inventory, nor shall Lenders be obligated to make any Revolving Advances against such Trade Accounts Receivable or Inventory, unless and until (x) Agent shall have had a reasonable opportunity to conduct a field examination and evaluation of such Trade Accounts Receivable and Inventory, and shall have determined, in the exercise of its sole discretion, the extent, if any, to which any such Trade Accounts Receivable and Inventory shall constitute Eligible Accounts Receivables and Eligible Inventory, respectively, (y) the Companies shall have delivered to the Agent and the Agent shall have reviewed to its satisfaction (i) a formal due diligence report, (ii) a set of revised projections, prepared on a month by month basis for the twelve month period following the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition, of the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidating Balance Sheet, consolidated and consolidating statements of profit and less and cash flow of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries, and projected Net Availability for each Company for such period and (iii) an integration plan in reasonable detail and scope, which shall include a timeline for the substantial completion or accomplishment of the steps identified by the Companies as necessary to such integration (the "milestones") and (z) the Companies, the Agent and the Lenders shall have entered into a written agreement pursuant to which this Financing Agreement shall be amended to provide, among other things, that the satisfaction of each milestone in all material respects on or before the applicable date set forth in the timeline described in clause (y) (iii) hereof shall constitute an affirmative covenant pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof. In the event that, based on all of the foregoing criteria and conditions, the Agent determines to include such Trade Accounts Receivable or Inventory within the Borrowing Base, then the Agent may, in its sole discretion, revise the advance rates, reserves and/or eligibility criteria with respect to such Trade Accounts Receivable or Inventory. 3.2 HANDLING OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL; CASH DOMINION. ------------------------------------------------- (a) COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS AND OTHER PROCEEDS. Each Company, at its expense, will enforce and collect payments and other amounts owing on all of its Accounts in the ordinary course of such Company's business subject to the terms hereof. Each Company agrees to direct its account debtors to send payments on all of its Accounts (other than Accounts that constitute Excluded Collateral) directly to a lockbox associated with a Depository Account, and to include on all of such Company's invoices the address of such lockbox as the sole address for remittance of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any Company ever receive any payment on any Accounts (other than Accounts that constitute Excluded Collateral) or other Proceeds of the sale of Collateral, including checks, cash, receipts from credit card sales and receipts, notes or other instruments or property with respect to any Collateral, such Company agrees to hold such proceeds in trust for the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, separate from such Company's other property and funds, and to deposit such proceeds directly into a Depository Account on the Business Day received. (b) TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM DEPOSITORY ACCOUNTS. Funds remaining on deposit in a Depository Account shall be transferred to the Agent's Bank Account on each Business Day in accordance with the terms and provisions of the applicable Depository Account Control Agreement, and each Company agrees to take all actions reasonably required by the Agent or any bank at which a Depository Account owned by such Company is maintained in order to effectuate the transfer 25 of funds in this manner. Subject to charges for Collection Days, all amounts received from a Depository Account and any other proceeds of the Collateral deposited into the Agent's Bank Account will, for purposes of calculating Net Availability and interest, be credited to the Revolving Loan Account on the date of deposit in the Agent's Bank Account. No checks, drafts or other instruments received by the Agent shall constitute final payment to the Agent unless and until such instruments have actually been collected. (c) NEW DEPOSITORY ACCOUNTS. Each Company agrees not to open any lockbox or new bank account into which Proceeds of Collateral are to be delivered or deposited unless concurrently with the opening of such lockbox and/or bank account, the Agent, such Company and the bank which will maintain such lockbox or at which such account will be maintained, execute a Depository Account Control Agreement with respect to such lockbox and/or related bank account. Upon compliance with the terms set forth above, such lockbox and/or bank account shall constitute a Depository Account for purposes of this Financing Agreement. 3.3 REVOLVING LOAN ACCOUNT. The Agent shall charge the Revolving Loan Account for all loans and advances made by the Agent and the Lenders to the Borrowing Agent or for the account of any Company and for all any other Obligations, including Out-of-Pocket Expenses, when due and payable hereunder. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.5 below, the Agent will credit the Revolving Loan Account with all amounts received by the Agent from each Depository Account or from others for each Company's account, including, as set forth above, all amounts received by the Agent in payment of Accounts, and such amounts will be applied to payment of the Obligations in the order and manner set forth herein. In no event shall prior recourse to any Account or other security granted to or by any Company be a prerequisite to the Agent's or the Lenders' rights to demand payment of any of the Obligations. In addition, such Company agrees that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to perform in any respect any of the Company's contracts or obligations relating to the Accounts of such Company. 3.4 REPAYMENT OF OVERADVANCES. If at any time (a) the sum of the outstanding balance of Revolving Loans exceed the Revolving Line of Credit, or (b) an Overadvance exists, the amount of such excess (in the case of clause (a)) or the amount of the Overadvance (in the case of clause (b)) shall be immediately due and payable unless the Agent (as permitted hereunder) or the Lenders otherwise agree in writing. Should the Agent or the Lenders for any reason honor requests for Overadvances, such Overadvances shall be made in the Agent's or the Lenders' sole discretion and subject to any additional terms the Agent or the Lenders deem necessary. 3.5 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL. ------------------------------------- (a) GENERALLY. Unless this Financing Agreement expressly provides otherwise, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, the Agent agrees to apply (i) all Proceeds of Trade Accounts Receivable to the Revolving Loan Account, and (ii) any other payment received by the Agent with respect to the Obligations, in such order and manner as the Agent shall elect in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment. 26 (b) APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS TO CHASE BANK RATE LOANS AND LIBOR LOANS. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, the Agent agrees to apply all Proceeds of Collateral and other payments described in Section 3.5(a) to Chase Bank Rate Loans until there are no Chase Bank Rate Loans outstanding, and then to LIBOR Loans; provided that in the event the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans exceeds Net Availability or any other applicable limit set forth herein, the Agent may apply all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent to the payment of the Obligations in such manner and in such order as the Agent may elect in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment. Subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, if the Agent receives Proceeds of Collateral or other payments that exceed the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans that are Chase Bank Rate Loans, Borrowing Agent may request, in writing, that the Agent not apply such excess Proceeds to outstanding Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans, in which case the Agent shall remit such excess to the Borrowing Agent, for further distribution by it to the Companies. If as a result of the application of the provisions of this Section 3.5(b), any Proceeds of Collateral are applied to loans that are LIBOR Loans, such application shall be treated as a prepayment of such LIBOR Loans and the Lenders shall be entitled to the costs and fees provided for in Section 8.10 hereof. (c) APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS DURING AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, except as otherwise provided in the Textron Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent agrees to apply all Proceeds of Collateral and all other payments received by the Agent to the payment of the Obligations in the manner and order set forth in Section 10.4 hereof. If as a result of the application of the provisions of this Section 3.5(c), any Proceeds or payments are applied to loans that are LIBOR Loans, such application shall be treated as a prepayment of such LIBOR Loans and the Lenders shall be entitled to the costs and fees provided for in Section 8.10 hereof. 3.6 MONTHLY STATEMENT. After the end of each month, the Agent agrees to prepare and make available to the Borrowing Agent (by mail, facsimile, e-mail or posting to CIT's System, as mutually agreed to by the Borrowing Agent and the Agent) and the Lenders, a statement showing the accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other transactions occurring among the Agent, the Lenders, the Borrowing Agent and the Companies during that month. Absent manifest error, each monthly statement shall be deemed correct and binding upon the Borrowing Agent, each Company and the Lenders, and shall constitute accounts stated among the Borrowing Agent, each Company, the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, unless the Agent receives a written statement of exception from the Borrowing Agent or any Lender within thirty (30) days of the date of such monthly statement. 3.7 ACCESS TO CIT'S SYSTEM. The Agent shall provide to the Borrowing Agent access to CIT's System during normal business hours, for the purposes of (i) obtaining information regarding loan balances and Net Availability, and (ii) if permitted by the Agent, making requests for Revolving Loans and submitting borrowing base certificates. Such access shall be subject to the following terms, in addition to all terms set forth on the website for CIT's System: 27 (a) The Agent shall provide to the Borrowing Agent an initial password for secured access to CIT's System. The Borrowing Agent shall provide the Agent with a list of officers and employees that are authorized from time to time access CIT's System, and the Borrowing Agent agrees to limit access to the password and CIT's System to such authorized officers and employees. After the initial access, the Borrowing Agent shall be solely responsible for (i) changing and maintaining the integrity of the Borrowing Agent's password and (ii) any unauthorized use of the Borrowing Agent's password or CIT's System by the Borrowing Agent's officers and employees. (b) The Borrowing Agent shall use the CIT's System and the Borrowing Agent's information thereon solely for the purposes permitted above, and shall not access the CIT's System for the benefit of third parties or provide any information obtained from the CIT's System to third parties. The Agent makes no representation that loan balance or Net Availability information is or will be available, accurate, complete, correct or current at all times. CIT's System may be inoperable or inaccessible from time to time, whether for required website maintenance, upgrades to CIT's System, or for other reasons, and in any such event the Borrowing Agent must obtain loan balance and Net Availability information, and (if permitted by the Agent) make requests for Revolving Loans and submit borrowing base certificates using other available means. (c) The Borrowing Agent hereby confirms and agrees that CIT's System consist of proprietary software, data, tools, scripts, algorithms, business logic, website designs and interfaces and related intellectual property, information and documentation. CIT's System and related intellectual property, information and documentation are the sole and exclusive property of the Agent, and the Borrowing Agent shall have no right, title or interest therein or thereto, except for the limited right to access CIT's System for the purposes permitted above. Upon termination of this Financing Agreement, the Borrowing Agent agrees to cease any use of the CIT's System. (d) All agreements, covenants and representations and warranties made by the Borrowing Agent in any borrowing base certificate submitted to the Agent by means of CIT's System are incorporated herein by reference. SECTION 4. BORROWING AGENCY. ---------------- 4.1 DESIGNATION OF BORROWING AGENT. Each Company hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Company, and hereby authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent. 4.2 CO-BORROWING FACILITY. The handling of the revolving credit facility established pursuant to this Financing Agreement as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Financing Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Companies and at their request. Lender has made such accommodation based upon its understanding that the operations of each Company are integrated with the operations of the other Companies, and that the Companies effectively maintain a single integrated business. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to any Company as a result of the co-borrowing facility described herein. To induce Agent and 28 Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Company hereby indemnifies Agent and each Lender and holds Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent or any Lender by any person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of the Companies as provided herein, reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Agent or any Lender with respect to this Section 4 except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party. 4.3 SEPARATE SUBLINES. Agent may, at any time, in its sole discretion, exercised in a commercially reasonable manner, require that this Financing Agreement be modified to provide for a separate subline of credit for one or more of the Companies, such that each affected Company would thereafter be permitted to have Revolving Loans outstanding in an aggregate amount not in excess of the lesser of (i) the applicable percentage set forth in the definition of the term Borrowing Base of such Borrower's Eligible Receivables, Eligible In-transit Inventory and Eligible Finished Goods Inventory, less Reserves, or (ii) such Company's subline of credit. In such event, each Company agrees to execute and deliver such amendments and other documents as Agent shall require in order to effectuate such modification. SECTION 5. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF COMPANIES. ---------------------------------------- 5.1 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Obligations of each Company shall be joint and several obligations of all of the Companies. 5.2 LIMITATION. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Financing Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the joint and several nature of the Obligations and the liens and security interests granted by the Companies to secure the Obligations, not constitute a "Fraudulent Conveyance" (as defined below). Consequently, the Agent, the Lenders and the Companies agree that if the Obligations of a Company, or any liens or security interests granted by such Company securing the Obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, the Obligations of such Company and the liens and security interests securing such Obligations shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such Obligations or such lien or security interest to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and the Obligations of such Company and this Financing Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly. For purposes hereof, "Fraudulent Conveyance" means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of Title II of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. ss. 101, et seq.), as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code") or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time. 5.3 INFORMATION. Each Company assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each other Company, and any and all endorsers and/or guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of such other Company's Obligations and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment by such other Companies of their 29 Obligations, and each Company agrees that no Lender shall have any duty to advise such Company of information known to Lender regarding such condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine. If any Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Company, such Lender shall not be under any obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to such Company on any subsequent occasion. 5.4 UNCONDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS. Each Company hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the absence of any attempt to collect a Company's Obligations from any other Company or any guarantor or other action to enforce the same; (ii) the waiver or consent by the Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing a Company's Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Company and delivered to the Agent or any Lender; (iii) failure by the Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for such Company's Obligations; (iv) the institution of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against a Company or Agent's election in any such proceeding of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Company as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of any Lender's claim(s) for repayment of any of Company's Obligations; or (vii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. 5.5 SUBROGATION. No payment made by or for the account of a Company including, without limitation, (i) a payment made by such Company on behalf of another Company's Obligations or (ii) a payment made by any other person or entity under any guaranty, shall entitle such Company, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from such other Company or from or out of such other Company's property and such Company shall not exercise any right or remedy against such other Company or any property of such other Company by reason of any performance of such Company of its joint and several obligations hereunder. SECTION 6. COLLATERAL ---------- 6.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. -------------------------- (a) As security for the prompt payment in full of all Obligations, each Company hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a continuing general lien upon, and security interest in, all of each Company's Collateral.

The security interests granted hereunder shall extend and attach to: (i) all Collateral which is presently in existence and which is owned by such Company or in which such Company has any interest, whether held by such Company or by others for such Company's account, and, if 30 any Collateral is Equipment, whether such Company's interest in such Equipment is as owner, lessee or conditional vendee; (ii) all Equipment in which such Company has an interest, whether as owner, lessee or conditional vendee, whether the same constitutes personal property or fixtures, including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all dies, jigs, tools, benches, molds, tables, accretions, component parts thereof and additions thereto, as well as all accessories, motors, engines and auxiliary parts used in connection with, or attached to, the Equipment; and (iii) all Inventory owned by such Company or in which such Company has an interest and any portion thereof which may be returned, rejected, reclaimed or repossessed by either the Agent or such Company from such Company's customers, as well as to all supplies, goods, incidentals, packaging materials, labels and any other items which contribute to the finished goods or products manufactured or processed by such Company, or to the sale, promotion or shipment thereof. 6.2 LIMITED LICENSE.

In support of the continuing assignment and security interest of the Agent in the Accounts and Inventory, each Company also agrees to deliver to the Agent all of the schedules, reports and other information described in Section 7.2(g) of this Financing Agreement.

Such Company agrees to maintain books and records pertaining to its financial matters in such detail, form and scope as the Agent reasonably may require. Such Company agrees that the Agent, accompanied by any Lender (at such Lender's expense), and/or any agent designated by the Agent, upon notice to Borrowing Agent (provided that such notice shall not be required after any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred), may enter upon such Company's premises at any time during normal business hours, and from time to time, in order to (i) examine and inspect the books and records of such Company, and make copies thereof and take extracts therefrom, and (ii) verify, inspect and perform physical counts and other valuations of the Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto. Such Company irrevocably authorizes all accountants and third parties to disclose and deliver directly to the Agent and the Lenders, at such Company's expense, all financial statements and information, books, records, work papers and management reports generated by them or in their possession regarding such Company or the Collateral. All costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with such examinations, inspections, physical counts and other valuations shall constitute Out-of-Pocket Expenses for purposes of this Financing Agreement. (b) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Such Company agrees to comply with the requirements of all state and federal laws in order to grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, valid and perfected first priority security interests in the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. The Agent is hereby authorized by such Company to file any financing statements, continuations and amendments covering the Collateral without such Company's signature in accordance with the provisions of the UCC. Such Company hereby consents to and ratifies the filing of any financing statements covering the Collateral by the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date.

(i) REQUIRED INSURANCE. Such Company agrees to maintain insurance on the Real Estate, Equipment and Inventory under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such reasonable amounts and covering such insurable risks as are at all times reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (the "Required Insurance"). All policies covering the Real Estate, Equipment and Inventory are, subject to the rights of any holder of a Permitted Encumbrance having priority over the security interests of the Agent, to be made payable solely to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in case of loss, under a standard non-contributory "mortgagee", "secured party" or "lender's loss payable" clause or endorsement, and are to contain such other provisions as the Agent reasonably may require to fully protect the Agent's interest in the Real Estate, Inventory and Equipment and to any payments to be made under such policies. Each loss payable endorsement in favor of the Agent shall provide (x) for not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation and (y) that the Agent's right to payment under any property insurance policy will not be invalidated by any act or neglect of, or any breach of warranty or condition by, such Company or any other party. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, the Agent, subject to the rights of any holder of a Permitted Encumbrance having priority over the security interests of the Agent, shall have the sole right, in the name of the Agent or such Company, to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies. (ii) THE AGENT'S PURCHASE OF INSURANCE. Unless such Company provides the Agent with evidence of the Required Insurance in the manner set forth in Section 7.2(c)(i) above, the Agent may purchase insurance at such Company's expense to protect the Agent's interests in the Collateral. The insurance purchased by the Agent may, but need not, protect such Company's interests in the Collateral, and therefore such insurance may not pay any claim which such Company make or any claim which is made against such Company in connection with the Collateral. Such Company may later request that the Agent cancel any insurance purchased by the Agent, but only after providing the Agent with satisfactory evidence that such Company has the Required Insurance. If the Agent purchases insurance covering all or any portion of the Collateral, such Company shall be responsible for the costs of such insurance, including interest (at the applicable rate set forth hereunder) and other charges accruing on the purchase price therefor, until the effective date of the cancellation or the expiration of the insurance, and the Agent may charge all of such costs, interest and other charges to the Revolving Loan Account. The costs of the premiums of any insurance purchased by the Agent may exceed the costs of insurance which such Company may be able to purchase on its own. In the event that the Agent purchases insurance, the Agent will notify such Company of such purchase within thirty (30) days after the date of such purchase. If, within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of such notice, such Company provides the Agent with proof that such Company had the Required Insurance as of the date on which the Agent purchased insurance and such Company has continued at all times thereafter to have the Required Insurance, then the Agent agrees to cancel the insurance purchased by the Agent and credit the Revolving Loan Account for 38 the amount of all costs, interest and other charges associated with such insurance that the Agent previously charged to the Revolving Loan Account. (iii) APPLICATION OF INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding as of the date of the Agent's receipt of any Casualty Proceeds: (w) Except as may otherwise be provided in the Textron Intercreditor Agreement, in the event of any loss or damage to any Inventory by condemnation, fire or other casualty, the Agent agrees to apply the Casualty Proceeds first to repay the outstanding Revolving Loans. (x) Except as may otherwise be provided in the Textron Intercreditor Agreement, in the event of any loss or damage to any item of Collateral other than Inventory by condemnation, fire or other casualty, if the Casualty Proceeds relating to such condemnation, fire or other casualty are less than or equal to $100,000, the Agent agrees to apply such Casualty Proceeds to repay the outstanding Revolving Loans. (y) Except as may otherwise be provided in the Textron Intercreditor Agreement, in the event of any loss or damage to any item of Equipment by condemnation, fire or other casualty, if the Casualty Proceeds relating to such condemnation, fire or other casualty exceed $100,000, the applicable Company may elect (by delivering written notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days following the Agent's receipt of such Casualty Proceeds) to replace or repair such item of Equipment. Except as may otherwise be provided in the Textron Intercreditor Agreement, if such Company elects to replace or repair any item of Equipment, the Agent initially shall apply all such Casualty Proceeds to the outstanding Revolving Loans and will establish an Availability Reserve in an amount equal to such Casualty Proceeds. The Agent agrees to reduce this Availability Reserve dollar-for-dollar as and when payments then are due under the contract(s) for the purchase of replacement Equipment or the repair of such item of Equipment. Upon the replacement or completion of repair of such item of Equipment, the Agent will eliminate any remaining Availability Reserve established hereunder. (z) In the event of any loss or damage to any Real Estate leased by the applicable Company by condemnation, fire or other casualty, such Company may use the Casualty Proceeds in the manner required or permitted by the lease agreement relating thereto. In the event of any loss or damage to any Real Estate owned by such Company by condemnation, fire or other casualty, if the Casualty Proceeds relating to such condemnation, fire or other casualty exceed $100,000, and so long as such Company has sufficient business interruption insurance to replace the lost profits of the facilities affected by the condemnation, fire or other casualty, such Company may elect to repair or replace such Real Estate, subject to the following terms: (1) If such Company reasonably determines that the Real Estate may be repaired to substantially the same condition of the Real Estate prior to the condemnation, fire or other casualty, such Company may elect to repair the Real Estate by delivering written notice to the Agent within thirty (30) days following the Agent's receipt of such Casualty Proceeds. The Agent initially shall apply all such Casualty Proceeds to the outstanding Revolving Loans and will 39 establish an Availability Reserve in an amount equal to such Casualty Proceeds. Such Company shall provide the Agent with a repair plan, the contract(s) for repair and a total budget certified by an independent third party experienced in construction costing. If such budget indicates that there are insufficient Casualty Proceeds to cover the full cost of repair of the Real Estate, such Company shall fund such deficiency before the Availability Reserve established hereunder shall be reduced. The Agent agrees to reduce this Availability Reserve dollar-for-dollar as and when payments are due under the contract(s) for repair. Upon completion of the repair of the Real Estate (as determined by the Agent in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment), the Agent will eliminate any remaining Availability Reserve established hereunder. (2) Such Company may elect to replace the Real Estate owned by such Company only on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Required Lenders in their sole discretion. If a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding as of the date of the Agent's receipt of any Casualty Proceeds, or if the Company does not or cannot elect to use the Casualty Proceeds in the manner set forth in paragraphs (y) or (z) above, the Agent may, subject to the terms of the Textron Intercreditor Agreement and subject to the rights of any holder of a Permitted Encumbrance having priority over the security interests of the Agent, apply the Casualty Proceeds to the payment of the Obligations in such manner and in such order as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion. (d) PAYMENT OF TAXES. Each Company agrees to pay when due all Taxes lawfully levied, assessed or imposed upon such Company or the Collateral (including all sales taxes collected by the Company on behalf of such Company's customers in connection with sales of Inventory and all payroll taxes collected by such Company on behalf of such Company's employees), unless such Company is contesting such Taxes in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, and is maintaining adequate reserves for such Taxes in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a lien securing any Taxes is filed in any public office and such lien is not a Permitted Tax Lien, then the applicable Company shall pay all taxes secured by such lien immediately and remove such lien of record promptly. Pending the payment of such taxes and removal of such lien, the Agent may, at its election and without curing or waiving any Event of Default which may have occurred as a result thereof, (i) establish an Availability Reserve in the amount of such Taxes (or such other amount as the Agent shall deem appropriate in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment) or (ii) pay such taxes on behalf of such Company, and the amount paid by the Agent shall become an Obligation which is due and payable on demand by the Agent. (e) COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. (i) Each Company agrees to comply with all federal, state and local acts, rules and regulations, and all orders of any federal, state or local legislative, administrative or judicial body or official, if the failure to so comply would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, provided that such Company may contest any acts, rules, regulations, orders and directions of such bodies or officials in any reasonable manner which the Agent 40 determines, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, will not materially and adversely effect the Agent's or the Lenders' rights or priorities in the Collateral. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Company agrees to comply with all environmental statutes, acts, rules, regulations or orders, as presently existing or as adopted or amended in the future, applicable to the ownership and/or use of its real property and operation of its business, if the failure to so comply would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Company shall be deemed to have breached any provision of this Section 7.2(e) if (x) the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.2(e) resulted from good faith error or innocent omission, (y) such Company promptly commences and diligently pursues a cure of such breach and (z) such failure is cured within thirty (30) days following such Company's receipt of notice from the Agent of such failure, or if such breach cannot in good faith be cured within thirty (30) days following such Company's receipt of such notice, then such breach is cured within a reasonable time frame based on the extent and nature of the breach and the necessary remediation, and in conformity with any applicable consent order, consensual agreement and applicable law. (f) NOTICES CONCERNING ENVIRONMENTAL, EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND PENSION MATTERS. The Borrowing Agent agrees to notify the Agent in writing of: (i) any expenditure (actual or anticipated) by any Company in excess of $100,000 for environmental clean-up, environmental compliance or environmental testing and the impact of said expenses on such Company's working capital; (ii) any Company's receipt of notice from any local, state or federal authority advising such Company of any environmental liability (real or potential) arising from such Company's operations, its premises, its waste disposal practices, or waste disposal sites used by such Company; and (iii) any Company's receipt of notice from any governmental agency or any sponsor of any "multiemployer plan" (as that term is defined in ERISA) to which such Company has contributed, relating to any of the events described in Section 10.1(g) hereof.

(b) RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING THE MAKING OR FUNDING OF LIBOR LOANS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Financing Agreement to the contrary, if any law, regulation, treaty or directive, or any amendment thereto or change in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then (x) such LIBOR Loan shall convert automatically to a Chase Bank Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period, or such earlier date as may be required by such law, regulation, treaty or directive, and (y) the obligation of the Agent or the Lenders thereafter to make or continue LIBOR Loans and to convert Chase Bank Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent determines that it is no longer unlawful for any Lender to make and maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated herein. In addition, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (x) incurs any material additional costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined hereunder, or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes LIBOR Loans, or (y) becomes subject to any material restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which such Lender may hold, then if the Agent so elects by notice to the Borrowing Agent, the obligations of the Agent and the Lenders thereafter to make or continue LIBOR Loans and to convert Chase Bank Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect. (c) INABILITY TO DETERMINE LIBOR. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Financing Agreement to the contrary, if the Agent determines in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon each Company) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR applicable to an Interest Period with respect to any election of a new LIBOR Loan, the Agent shall give written notice of such determination to the Borrowing Agent prior to the effective date of such election. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowing Agent may cancel its request for such new LIBOR Loan, in which case the requested LIBOR Loan shall be made as a Chase Bank Rate Loan. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Agent, the obligations of the Agent and the Lenders thereafter to make or continue LIBOR Loans and to convert Chase Bank Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent determines that adequate and reasonable means again exist for ascertaining LIBOR applicable to an Interest Period with respect to any election of a new LIBOR Loan. (d) COMPENSATION FOR COSTS. The Companies jointly and severally hereby agree to pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on demand, any 51 additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lenders for any costs incurred by the Lenders in making any conversions from LIBOR Loans to Chase Bank Rate Loans in accordance with this Section 8.9, including, without limitation, breakage costs provided for in Section 8.10 of this Financing Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 8.9, the term "Lender" shall include any financial institution that purchases from any Lender a participation in the loans made by such Lender to the Company hereunder. 8.10 LIBOR BREAKAGE COSTS AND FEES.

The determination by the Agent or any Lender of the amount of any such loss, cost or expense described in clause (y) of the preceding sentence, when set forth in a written notice to the Borrowing Agent containing the Agent's or any Lender's calculations thereof in reasonable detail, shall be conclusive and binding upon each Company, in the absence of manifest error. 8.11 EARLY TERMINATION FEE AND PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. In the event the Borrowing Agent terminates the Revolving Line of Credit or this Financing Agreement on an Early Termination Date, the Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable in full on the date of termination. 8.12 CAPITAL ADEQUACY. In the event that any Lender, subsequent to the Closing Date, determines in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment that (x) any change in applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or (y) any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or (z) compliance by such Lender with any new request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any central bank or other governmental or regulatory authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed material by such Lender in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Companies jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender, no later than five (5) days following demand by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction in rate of return. In determining 52 such amount or amounts, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 8.12 shall be available to any Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition. A certificate of a Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender with respect to this Section 8.12 and the calculation thereof, when delivered to the Borrowing Agent, shall be conclusive and binding on each Company absent manifest error. In the event a Lender exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 8.12, and subsequent thereto determines that the amounts paid by the Companies exceeded the amount which such Lender actually required to compensate such Lender for any reduction in rate of return on its capital, such excess shall be returned to the Borrowing Agent by such Lender. 8.13 TAXES, RESERVES AND OTHER CONDITIONS. In the event that any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any new request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any central bank or other governmental or regulatory authority, shall: (a) subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Financing Agreement or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender by the federal government or other jurisdiction in which it maintains its principal office); (b) impose or require 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 such Lender by reason of or in respect to this Financing Agreement and the Loan Documents, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or (c) impose on such Lender any other condition with respect to this Financing Agreement or any other document; and the result of any of the foregoing is to (i) increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing or maintaining such Lender's loans hereunder by an amount deemed material by such Lender in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment, or (ii) reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the loans made hereunder by an amount that such Lender deems to be material in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Companies jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender, no later than five (5) days following demand by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increase in cost or reduction in payment, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender with respect to this Section 8.13 and the calculation thereof, when delivered to the Borrowing Agent, shall be conclusive and binding on the Companies absent manifest error. In the event any Lender exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 8.13, and subsequent thereto determines that the amounts paid by the Companies in whole or in part exceeded the amount which such Lender actually required to compensate such Lender for any increase in cost or 53 reduction in payment, such excess shall be returned to the Borrowing Agent by such Lender. 8.14 AUTHORITY TO CHARGE REVOLVING LOAN ACCOUNT.

If any Inventory and Equipment shall require rebuilding, repairing, maintenance or preparation, the Agent shall have the right, at its option, to do such of the aforesaid as is necessary, for the purpose of putting the Inventory and Equipment in such saleable form as the Agent shall deem appropriate. Each Company agrees, at the request of the Agent, to assemble the Inventory and Equipment, and to make it available to the Agent at premises of such Company or elsewhere and to make available to the Agent the premises and facilities of such Company for the purpose of the Agent's taking possession of, removing or putting the Inventory and Equipment in saleable form. If notice of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, it is agreed that ten (10) days notice shall constitute reasonable notification and full compliance with the law. The net cash proceeds resulting from the Agent's exercise of any of the foregoing rights (after deducting all Out-of-Pocket Expenses relating thereto) shall be applied by the Agent to the payment of the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 10.4 hereof, and the Companies shall remain jointly and severally liable to the Agent and the Lenders for any deficiencies, and the Agent in turn agrees to remit to applicable Company or its successors or assigns, any surplus resulting therefrom. The enumeration of the foregoing rights is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right shall not preclude the exercise of any other right of the Agent or the Lenders under applicable law or the other Loan Documents, all of which shall be cumulative. 57 10.4 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Textron Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent agrees to apply the net cash proceeds resulting from the Agent's exercise of any of the foregoing rights (after deducting all Out-of-Pocket Expenses relating thereto) to the payment of the Obligations in the following order: (a) first, to all unpaid principal of and interest on Overadvances made by the Agent in order to preserve, protect and/or realize upon the Collateral; (b) second, to all unpaid Out of Pocket Expenses; (c) third, to all accrued and unpaid fees owed to the Agent and the Lenders; (d) fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations; and (e) fifth, to the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations. 10.5 GENERAL INDEMNITY. In addition to the agreement of the Companies, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for Out-of-Pocket Expenses, but without duplication, the Companies hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Agent and the Lenders, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an "Indemnified Party") from, and to defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, actions, judgments, suits, damages, penalties, costs, fees, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) of any kind or nature which at any time may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party: (a) as a result of the Agent's or the Lenders, exercise of (or failure to exercise) any of their respective rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) any sale or transfer of the Collateral, (ii) the preservation, repair, maintenance, preparation for sale or securing of any Collateral, and (iii) the defense of the Agent's interests in the Collateral (including the defense of claims brought by any Company, as a debtor-in-possession or otherwise, any secured or unsecured creditors of any Company, or any trustee or receiver in bankruptcy); (b) as a result of any environmental pollution, hazardous material or environmental clean-up relating to the Real Estate, any Company's operation and use of the Real Estate, and any Company's off-site disposal practices; (c) arising from or relating to (i) the maintenance and operation of any Depository Account, (ii) any Depository Account Control Agreements and (iii) any action taken (or failure to act) by any Indemnified Party with respect thereto; (d) in connection with any regulatory investigation or proceeding by any regulatory authority or agency having jurisdiction over any Company; and 58 (e) otherwise relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any action taken (or failure to act) by any Indemnified Party with respect thereto; provided that an Indemnified Party's conduct in connection with the any of the foregoing matters does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Financing Agreement and the payment and satisfaction of the Obligations. The Agent may from time to time establish Availability Reserves with respect to this indemnity as the Agent may deem advisable in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, and upon termination of this Financing Agreement, the Agent may hold such reserves as cash reserves as security for this indemnity. SECTION 11. TERMINATION ----------- Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2 hereof, the Required Lenders (acting through the Agent) may terminate this Financing Agreement and the Line of Credit only as of the initial or any subsequent Termination Date, and then only by the Agent giving the Borrowing Agent at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice of termination. The Borrowing Agent, on behalf of the Companies, may terminate this Financing Agreement at any time prior to any Termination Date upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agent, provided that the Companies pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, any Early Termination Fee due and payable hereunder on the date of termination. THIS FINANCING AGREEMENT, UNLESS TERMINATED AS HEREIN PROVIDED, SHALL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE FROM TERMINATION DATE TO TERMINATION DATE. All Obligations shall become due and payable in full on the date of any termination hereunder and, pending a final accounting of the Obligations, the Agent may withhold any credit balances in the Revolving Loan Account (unless supplied with an indemnity satisfactory to the Agent) as a cash reserve to cover any contingent Obligation then outstanding, including, but not limited to, an amount equal to 110% of the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit issued for any Company's account with the Agent's assistance. All of the Agent's and the Lenders' rights, liens and security interests granted pursuant to the Loan Documents shall continue after any termination of this Financing Agreement until all Obligations have been fully and finally paid and satisfied. SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS ------------- 12.1 WAIVERS. Each Company hereby waives diligence, demand, presentment, protest and any notices thereof as well as notices of nonpayment, intent to accelerate and acceleration. No waiver of an Event of Default shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Required Lenders. No delay or failure of the Agent or the Lenders to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether before or after the happening of any Event of Default, shall impair any such right or remedy, or shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, or as a waiver of such Event of Default. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. No single or partial exercise by the Agent or the Lenders any right or remedy precludes any other or further exercise thereof, or precludes any other right or remedy. 59 12.2 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents: (a) constitute the entire agreement among each Company, the Borrowing Agent, the Agent and/or the Lenders; (b) supersede any prior agreements (including the agreements set forth in the Commitment Letter); (c) subject to the provisions of Section 14.10 hereof that relate to matters subject to the approval of all Lenders, may be amended only by a writing signed by each Company and the Required Lenders; and (d) shall bind and benefit each Company, the Borrowing Agent, the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Should the provisions of any Loan Document conflict with the provisions of this Loan Agreement, the provisions of this Financing Agreement shall apply and govern. 12.3 USURY LIMIT. In no event shall any Company, upon demand by the Agent for payment of any indebtedness relating hereto, by acceleration of the maturity thereof, or otherwise, be obligated to pay interest and fees in excess of the amount permitted by law. Regardless of any provision herein or in any agreement made in connection herewith, the Agent and the Lenders shall never be entitled to receive, charge or apply, as interest on any indebtedness relating hereto, any amount in excess of the maximum amount of interest permissible under applicable law. If the Agent or the Lenders ever receive, collect or apply any such excess, it shall be deemed a partial repayment of principal and treated as such. If as a result, the entire principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be refunded to the Borrowing Agent. This Section 12.3 shall control every other provision of the Financing Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other agreement made in connection herewith. 12.4 SEVERABILITY. If any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and the remaining provisions of the applicable agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such provision's severance. Furthermore, in lieu of any such provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of the applicable agreement a legal and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the severed provision as may be possible. 12.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH COMPANY, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER. EACH COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE UPON THE BORROWING AGENT OF PROCESS BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED.

After the Agent's receipt of, or charging of, or any interest and fees earned under this Financing Agreement, the Agent agrees to remit promptly to the Lenders their respective Pro Rata Percentages of: (a) fees payable by the Companies hereunder, provided that (i) the Lenders shall not share the Arrangement Fee, the Administrative Management Fee, the Documentation Fees or the other fees set forth in Section 8.8 of this Financing Agreement, and (ii) the Lenders shall share in the Loan Facility Fee in accordance with their respective agreements with the Agent; and (b) interest paid on the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans, calculated based on the outstanding amount of Revolving Loans advanced by each of the Lenders as of each Settlement Date during the period for which interest is paid, provided that the Lenders shall not share in any interest charged pursuant to Section 8.5(b) hereto. 13.3 DEFAULTING LENDER. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of any borrowing by a Company on the Settlement Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1(d) hereof, and such Company does not repay to the Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the borrowing within three (3) Business Days of such borrowing, the Agent shall have the right to recover such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the borrowing directly from such Lender, together with interest thereon from the date of the borrowing at the rate per annum applicable to such borrowing. In addition, until the Agent recovers such amount, (x) such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any payments under Section 13.2 hereof, and (y) for purposes of voting on or consenting to other matters with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, such Lender's Commitment shall be deemed to be zero and such Lender shall not be considered to be a Lender. 13.4 PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS. ------------------------------ (a) PARTICIPATIONS. The Lenders may sell to one or more commercial banks, commercial finance lenders or other financial institutions, participations in the loans and other extensions of credit made and to be made 62 to the Companies hereunder. Each Company acknowledges that in selling such participations, the Lenders may grant to participants certain rights to consent to waivers, amendments and other actions with respect to this Financing Agreement, provided that the consent of any participant shall be limited solely to matters as to which all Lenders must consent under Section 14.10 hereof. Except for the consent rights set forth above, no participant shall have any rights as a Lender hereunder, and notwithstanding the sale of any participation by a Lender, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such Lender's obligations hereunder, and the Companies, the Agent and the other Lenders may continue to deal solely with such Lender with respect to all matters relating to this Financing Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, all amounts payable under this Financing Agreement to a Lender which sells a participation in accordance with this paragraph shall continue to be paid directly to such Lender. (b) ASSIGNMENTS. Any Lender that is a party hereto as of the Closing Date shall have the right to assign a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Financing Agreement to a commercial bank, commercial finance lender or other financial institution in order to effectuate the contemplated syndication of the Commitments, provided that the principal amount of loans assigned to any one institution shall not be less than $5,000,000. Under any other circumstances, with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent will not unreasonably be withheld), the Lenders may assign all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations under this Financing Agreement to commercial banks, commercial finance lenders or other financial institutions, provided that (i) the principal amount of loans assigned to any one institution shall not be less than $5,000,000, and (ii) the Companies jointly and severally shall pay to the Agent an assignment processing and recording fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for the Agent's own account. Each assignment of a Commitment hereunder must be made pursuant to an Assignment and Transfer Agreement. From and after the effective date of an Assignment and Transfer Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party to this Financing Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such assignment, shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by such Lender pursuant to such assignment, shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Financing Agreement.

In the event that the Agent, the Lenders or any one of them is sued or threatened with a suit, action or claim by any Company or by a creditor, committee of creditors, trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, administrator or other similar official acting for or on behalf of such Company, on account of (a) any preference, fraudulent conveyance or other voidable transfer alleged to have occurred or been received as a result of the operation of this Financing Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) any lender liability theory based on any action taken or not taken by such person in connection with this Financing Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, any money paid in satisfaction or compromise of such suit, action, claim or demand, and any expenses, costs and attorneys' fees paid or incurred in connection therewith (whether by the Agent, the Lenders or any one of them), shall be shared proportionately by the Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages, except to the extent that such person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct directly gave rise to such suit, action or claim. In addition, any costs, expenses, fees or disbursements incurred by agents or attorneys retained by the Agent to effect collection of the Obligations or enforcement of any rights in the Collateral, including enforcing, preserving or maintaining rights under this Financing Agreement, shall be shared among the Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages to the extent not reimbursed by the Companies or from the proceeds of Collateral. The provisions of this Section 13.5 shall not apply to any suits, actions, proceedings or claims that (a) are filed or asserted prior to the Closing Date or (b) are based on transactions, actions or omissions occurring prior to the date of this Financing Agreement. 13.6 EXERCISE OF SETOFF RIGHTS. Each Company authorizes each Lender, and each Lender shall have the right, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice, to set off and apply against any and all property or assets of such Company held by, or in the possession of such Lender, any of the Obligations owed to such Lender. Promptly after the exercise of any right to set off, the Lender exercising such right irrevocably agrees to purchase for cash (and the other Lenders irrevocably agree to sell) participation interests in each other Lender's outstanding Revolving Loans as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount of the property set off with the other Lenders based on each Lender's Pro Rata Percentage. Each Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender also may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Obligations then outstanding, and may purchase participation interests in the amounts so set off from the other Lenders, and upon doing so shall deliver such excess to Agent, for distribution to the other Lenders in settlement of the participation purchases described above in this Section 13.6. 13.7 CONFIDENTIALITY. For the purposes of this Section 13.7, "Confidential Information" means all financial projections and all other information delivered to the Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of any Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to 64 this Financing Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that is clearly marked or labeled (or otherwise adequately identified) as being confidential information of such Company, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to the Agent or any of the Lenders prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by the Agent or the Lenders or any person acting on their behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to the Agent or the Lenders other than through disclosure by a Company or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered under Section 7.2(h) that are otherwise publicly available. The Agent and the Lenders will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with commercially reasonable procedures adopted by the Agent and the Lenders in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to them, provided that the Agent and the Lenders may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to: (a) their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the Line of Credit); (b) their respective financial advisors and other professional advisors who are advised to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.7; (c) any other Lender; (d) a commercial bank, commercial finance lender or other financial institution to which the Agent or a Lender sells or offers to sell a portion of their rights and obligations under this Financing Agreement or any participation therein, provided that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, such entity agrees in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.7; or (e) any other person or entity (including bank auditors and other regulatory officials) to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (i) to comply with compliance with any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, (ii) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (iii) in connection with any litigation to which the Agent or a Lender is a party or (iv) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, to the extent the Agent may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under this Financing Agreement. Each Lender becoming a Lender subsequent to the initial execution and delivery of this Financing Agreement, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Transfer Agreement, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by, and to be entitled to the benefits of, this Section 13.7. SECTION 14. AGENCY ------ 14.1 APPOINTMENT OF AGENT; POWERS. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints CIT to act as the Agent for such Lender under this Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and irrevocably authorizes CIT, as Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the 65 Agent by the terms of this Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In performing its functions under this Financing Agreement, the Agent is acting solely as an agent of the Lenders, and the Agent does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, an agency or other fiduciary relationship with any Company. The Agent shall not have any (a) duty, responsibility, obligation or liability to any Lender, except for those duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities expressly set forth in this Financing Agreement, or (b) fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or otherwise exist against the Agent. No Lender that also is designated as a "Documentation Agent" or a "Lead Arranger" hereunder shall have any right, power, duty, responsibility, obligation or liability under this Financing Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except for the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of a Lender hereunder. 14.2 DELEGATION OF AGENT'S DUTIES. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Financing Agreement and all ancillary documents by or through agents or attorneys, and shall be entitled to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. 14.3 DISCLAIMER OF AGENT'S LIABILITIES. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, or attorneys shall be liable to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or not taken by the Agent or such person under or in connection with the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except for the Agent's or such person's gross negligence or willful misconduct). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders for (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Company or any officer thereof contained in (x) this Financing Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document or (z) any certificate, report, audit, statement or other document referred to or provided for in this Financing Agreement or received by the Agent under or in connection with this Financing Agreement, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Financing Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Agent's security interests in the Collateral, (iii) any failure of any Company to perform its obligations under this Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) any loss or depreciation in the value of, delay in collecting the Proceeds of, or failure to realize on, any Collateral, (v) the Agent's delay in the collection of the Obligations or enforcing the Agent's rights against any Company or the granting of indulgences or extensions to any Company or any account debtor of such Company, or (vi) for any mistake, omission or error in judgment in passing upon or accepting any Collateral. In addition, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or other agreements of any Company contained in this Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to inspect, verify, examine or audit the assets, books or records of any Company at any time. 14.4 RELIANCE AND ACTION BY AGENT. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon legal counsel, independent public accountants and experts selected by Agent, and shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or not taken in good faith based upon the advise of such counsel, accountants or experts. In addition, the Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by the Agent in 66 good faith to be genuine and correct, and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons. The Agent shall be fully justified in taking or refusing to take any action under this Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless the Agent (a) receives the advice or consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, in a manner that the Agent deems appropriate, or (b) is indemnified by the Lenders to the Agent's satisfaction against any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by the Agent by reason of taking or refusing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of all Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders. 14.5 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent has received notice from the Borrowing Agent or a Lender describing such Default or Event of Default with specificity. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to all Lenders. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, provided that (a) if appropriate, the Agent may require indemnification from the Lenders under Section 14.4 prior to taking such action, (b) under no circumstances shall the Agent have an obligation to take any action that the Agent believes in good faith would violate any law or any provision of this Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (c) unless and until the Agent shall have received direction from the Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders. 14.6 LENDERS' DUE DILIGENCE. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, has made any representation or warranty to such Lender regarding the transactions contemplated by this Financing Agreement or the financial condition of any Company, and such Lender agrees that no action taken by the Agent hereafter, including any review of the business or financial affairs of any Company, shall be deemed to constitute a representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender also acknowledges that such Lender has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis, appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial condition and creditworthiness of each Company, and made its own decision to enter into this Financing Agreement. Each Lender agrees, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as such Lender shall deem appropriate at the time, (a) to continue to make its own credit analyses and appraisals in deciding whether to take or not take action under this Financing Agreement and (b) to make such investigations as such Lender deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial condition and creditworthiness of each Company. 14.7 RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Companies and without limiting the joint and severally obligation of the Companies to do so), from and against any and 67 all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of (a) this Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) the transactions contemplated hereby or (c) any action taken or not taken by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. 14.8 OTHER TRANSACTIONS. The Agent and any Lender may make loans to and generally engage in any kind of business with each Company, as though the Agent or such Lender were not the Agent or a Lender hereunder. With respect to loans made by the Agent under this Financing Agreement as a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers, duties and liabilities under this Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and may exercise the same as though it was not the Agent, and the term "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Agent in its individual capacity as such. 14.9 RESIGNATION OF AGENT. The Agent may resign as the Agent upon 30 days notice to the Lenders, and such resignation shall be effective on the earlier of (a) the appointment of a successor Agent by the Lenders or (b) the date on which such 30-day period expires. If the Agent provides the Lenders with notice of its intention to resign as Agent, the Lenders agree to appoint a successor to the Agent as promptly as possible thereafter, whereupon such successor shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor effective upon its appointment. Upon the effective date of an Agent's resignation, such Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent hereunder immediately shall terminate, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Financing Agreement. After an Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 14 shall continue to inure to such Agent's benefit as to any actions taken or not taken by such Agent while acting as the Agent. 14.10 VOTING RIGHTS; AGENT'S DISCRETIONARY RIGHTS. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Financing Agreement to the contrary, without the prior written consent of all Lenders, the Agent will not agree to: (a) amend or waive any Company's compliance with any term or provision of this Financing Agreement, if the effect of such amendment or waiver would be to (i) increase the Revolving Line of Credit, (ii) reduce the principal of, or rate of interest on, the Revolving Loans, (iii) reduce or waive the payment of any fee in which all Lenders share hereunder or (iv) extend the maturity date of any of the Obligations or the date fixed for payment of any installment thereof; (b) alter or amend (i) this Section 14.10 or (ii) the definitions of "Net Availability", "Availability Reserve", "Eligible Accounts Receivable", "Eligible Inventory" "Collateral" or "Required Lenders"; 68 (c) amend the definition of "Borrowing Base", or modify the Agent's criteria for determining compliance with the definitions of "Eligible Accounts Receivable" or "Eligible Inventory", if the effect thereof would be to increase Net Availability; (d) except as otherwise expressly permitted or required hereunder, release any Collateral having a value (as determined by the Agent in its reasonable business judgment) of more than $1,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Company; or (e) knowingly make any Revolving Loan to any Company if after giving effect thereto the principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans would exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line of Credit or (ii) one hundred ten percent (110%) of the amount of the Borrowing Base; provided that in no event shall the Agent continue to knowingly make Overadvances under this Section 14.10(e) for a period in excess of ninety (90) consecutive days without the consent of all Lenders, and provided further that after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent in its sole discretion shall have the right to make Overadvances in excess of any limitation as to time or amount set forth in this clause (e) in order to preserve, protect and/or realize upon the Collateral. In all other respects the Agent is authorized to take or to refrain from taking any action which the Agent, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, deems to be advisable and in the best interest of the Lenders, unless this Financing Agreement specifically requires any Company or the Agent to obtain the consent of, or act at the direction of, the Required Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Financing Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to (i) determine whether the requirements for eligibility set forth in the definitions of "Eligible Accounts Receivable" and "Eligible Inventory" are satisfied, (ii) establish, adjust and release the amount of reserves provided for in the definitions of "Availability Reserve", "Eligible Accounts Receivable" and "Eligible Inventory", (iii) make Overadvances in accordance with clause (e) of this Section 14.10, (iv) release any Collateral having a value (as determined by the Agent in its reasonable business judgment) of up to $1,000,000 in each fiscal year of the Company, and (v) amend any provision of this Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents in order to cure any error, ambiguity, defect or inconsistency set forth therein. In the event the Agent terminates this Financing Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, the Agent agrees to cease making additional loans or advances upon the effective date of termination, except for loans or advances which the Agent in its sole discretion determines are reasonably required to preserve, protect or realize upon the Collateral. 14.11 DEEMED CONSENT. If a Lender's consent to a waiver amendment or other course of action is required under the terms of this Financing Agreement and such Lender does not respond to any request by the Agent for such consent within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such request, such failure to respond shall be deemed a consent to the requested course of action. 14.12 NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF COMMITMENT. Each Lender agrees that notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11 of this Financing Agreement, such Lender, acting alone, may terminate its Commitment only as of the initial or any subsequent Anniversary Date, and then only by giving the Agent one hundred fifty (150) days prior written notice thereof. Within 30 days after receipt of such termination notice, the Agent at its option agrees to either (a) give notice of termination of this Agreement and the Line of Credit to the Borrowing Agent or (b) purchase such Lender's entire Commitment hereunder for the full amount thereof as of the date of such purchase, plus accrued interest to the date of such purchase. 69 14.13 SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENTS OF THE LENDERS. The obligations of the Lenders set forth in Sections 13.3, 13.5, 13.6, 14.4 and 14.7 hereof shall survive the termination of this Financing Agreement.
