1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS.

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Credit Extensions.

Borrower will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest due on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

2.1.1 Formula Revolving Advances.

(a) Formula and Non-Formula Advances.

(i) Formula Advances. If at any time, and so long as, the then outstanding Revolving Obligations are less than or equal to the Formula Line Availability, Bank will make advances (“Formula Advances”) not exceeding the amount calculated as the lesser of (A) the Committed Formula Revolving Line minus the sum: (x) FX Reserve, plus, (y) the aggregate amounts deemed outstanding under the sublimit described in Section 2.1.5, (the “CMS Reserve”), plus (z) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) (the “L/C Reserve”) or (B) the Borrowing Base minus the sum of: (x) FX Reserve, plus, (y) the CMS Reserve, plus, (z) the L/C Reserve. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

(ii) Non-Formula Advances. If at any time, and so long as, the then outstanding Revolving Obligations maximize the Formula Line Availability, Bank will make

Advances (“Non-Formula Advances”) not exceeding the amount calculated as the Committed Non-Formula Revolving Line minus the sum of any portion of the following not reserved against the Formula Line Availability: (x) FX Reserve, plus, (y) the CMS Reserve, plus, (z) the L/C Reserve. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

(b) All Advances and reserves shall be applied first to the Committed Formula Revolving Line and only after the Formula Line Availability has been exhausted, second to the Committed Non-Formula Revolving Line. In the event that Formula Line Availability increases, Advances and reserves under the Committed Non-Formula Revolving Line shall automatically convert as follows until Formula Line Availability has been exhausted: (i) first, any outstanding Non-Formula Advances shall convert to Formula Advances until all such Non-Formula Advances have been so converted; (ii) second, the L/C Reserve reserved against the Non-Formula Revolving Line shall be converted to L/C Reserve reserved against Formula Line Availability until all such reserves have been so converted; (iii) third, the CMS Reserve reserved against the Committed Non-Formula Revolving Line shall be converted to CMS Reserve reserved against Formula Line Availability until all such reserves have been so converted; and (iv) fourth, the FX Reserve reserved against the Committed Non-Formula Line shall be converted to FX Reserve reserved against Formula Line Availability. In the event that Formula Line Availability decreases, Advances and sublimit reserves that exceed the Formula Line Availability shall automatically convert as follows: (i) first, the portion of the FX Reserve that exceeds the Formula Line Availability shall be converted to FX Reserve reserved against the Committed Non-Formula Revolving Line; (ii) second, the portion of the CMS Reserve that exceeds the Formula Line Availability shall be converted to CMS Reserve reserved against the Committed Non-Formula Revolving Line, until all of the CMS Reserve has been so converted; (iii) third, the portion of the L/C Reserve that exceeds the Formula Line Availability shall be converted to L/C Reserve reserved against the Committed Non-Formula Revolving Line, until all of the L/C Reserve has been so converted; and (iv) fourth, any outstanding Formula Advances that exceed Formula Line Availability shall convert to Non-Formula Advances until all such Formula Advances have been so converted.

(c) The Committed Non-Formula Revolving Line and the Committed Formula Revolving Line terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date, when all outstanding Advances are immediately payable.

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies.

When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;

(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary and reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit; and

(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

9.2 Power of Attorney.

Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues until Borrower pays the Obligations in full, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Accounts Collection.

When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

9.4 Bank Expenses.

If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and due and payable within 10 Business Days of written notice to Borrower, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral.

If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9-207 of the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6 Remedies Cumulative.

Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any

Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

9.7 Demand Waiver.

Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
