percent (70%) of the Net Amount of Eligible Receivables arising from sales made to customers located in the United States of America and Canada and (ii) 50% of the Net Amount of Eligible Receivables arising from sales made to customers

2.2.        The making of any loan in excess of the percentages set forth above shall not be

similar State or local law, if applicable, if the Account Debtor is the United States or any domestic governmental unit; 9) Borrower has delivered to Lender such documents as Lender may have requested pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof in
connection with such Receivable and Lender shall have received verifications of such Receivable, satisfactory to it, if sent to the Account Debtor or any other obligors or any bailees; 10) there are no facts existing or threatened which might result

actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) (a) on that portion of the average daily balances in the Loan Account during the preceding month that does not exceed the Loan Availability at a rate per annum (the “Effective
Rate”) equal to the Prime Rate plus the Margin and (b) on the amount of Over-advances, if any, at a rate of 3% per annum in excess of the Effective Rate. Any change in the effective interest rates due to a change in the Prime Rate
shall take effect on the date of such change in the Prime Rate provided, that, with respect to Lender’s charges, no decrease in the Prime Rate below 4% per annum shall be given any effect. 

3.2.        Borrower shall pay to Lender a facility fee payable on the Closing Date in the amount
of 1% of the Maximum Credit Facility and on the anniversary of such date in each succeeding year, in the amount of 1% of the Maximum Credit Facility. 
 3.3.        Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly an administration fee of $1,000 payable in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to the prior month
for the stated term of this Agreement. 
 3.4.        A statement of all of Lender’s
charges shall accompany each monthly statement of the Loan Account and such charges shall be payable by Borrower within 5 days after receipt of such statement. In lieu of the separate payment of charges, Lender at its option, shall have the right to
debit the amount of such charges to Borrower’s Loan Account, which charges shall be deemed to be first paid by amounts subsequently credited to the Loan Account. Borrower agrees that the minimum charges payable by Borrower to Lender each month
under Section 3.1 hereof shall be $3,000. As more fully provided in Section 9.2 hereof, in no event shall the interest charges hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate. 
  

	4.	SECURITY INTEREST IN COLLATERAL 

 4.1.        As security for the prompt performance, observance and payment in full of all of the Obligations, Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in, a
continuing lien upon and a right of setoff against, and Borrower hereby assigns, transfers, pledges and sets over to Lender (collectively, including 

  
 4 








 
any other assets of Borrower in which Lender may be granted a security interest under any Loan Document, the “Collateral”): (i) all Receivables (whether or not Eligible
Receivables and whether or not specifically listed on any schedules, assignments or reports furnished to Lender) (ii) all of Borrower’s property, and the proceeds thereof, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to Lender or
held by others for Lender’s account, including any and all deposits, balances, sums and credits of Borrower with, and any and all claims of Borrower against, Lender, at any time existing, (iii) all credit insurance policies, and all other
insurance and all guarantees relating to the Receivables or other Collateral, (iv) all books, records and other general intangibles evidencing or relating to Receivables or other Collateral and the computer hardware and software and media
containing such books and records; all deposits, or other security for the obligation of any person under or relating to Receivables, all of the Borrower’s rights and remedies of whatever kind or nature it may hold or acquire for the purpose of
securing or enforcing Receivables; all right, title and interest of the Borrower in and to all goods relating to, or which by sale have resulted in, Receivables, including goods returned by or reclaimed or repossessed from Account Debtors and all
goods described in copies of invoices delivered by Borrower to Lender; all rights of stoppage in transit, replevin, repossession and reclamation and all other rights and remedies of an unpaid vendor or lienor, and all proceeds of any Letter of
Credit naming Borrower as beneficiary and which provides for, guarantees or assures the payment of any Receivable; (v) all accounts, instruments, chattel paper, documents, general intangibles, deposit accounts, investment property and letter of
credit rights, whether or not arising out of the sale of goods or rendition of services, and including choses in action, causes of action, tax refunds (and claims), and reversions from terminated pension plans; (vi) all of Borrower’s
Inventory and Equipment; and (vii) all proceeds of such Collateral, in any form, including cash, non-cash items, checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money. Such security interest in favor of Lender shall continue
during the term of this Agreement and until indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations, whether or not this Agreement shall have sooner terminated. 
 4.2.        At Lender’s request, Borrower will provide Lender with confirmatory assignment schedules in form satisfactory to Lender, copies of customers’
invoices, evidence of shipment or delivery, and such further information as Lender may reasonably require. Borrower will take any and all steps and observe such formalities as Lender may reasonably request from time to time to create and maintain in
Lender’s favor a valid and first lien upon, security interest in and pledge of all of Borrower’s Receivables and all other Collateral, including executing all documents that may be reasonably requested by Lender to maintain such security
interest in and pledge of the Collateral. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file any Financing Statements under the UCC, and renewals and amendments thereof, naming Borrower as debtor, that are necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of
Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to take all steps necessary to allow Lender to comply with any Federal or state statute, which, in Lender’s judgment, if not complied with, might afford to any Person an
interest in the Collateral that would be superior to Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. 
  

	5.	CUSTODY AND INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL AND RECORDS; 

 COLLECTION AND HANDLING OF COLLATERAL 

5.1.        Borrower shall instruct all customers to remit payments on Receivables to a lockbox
controlled by Lender and maintained at Borrower’s expense. Borrower will, at its own expense and on Lender’s behalf, collect as Lender’s property and in trust for Lender all payments and prepayments on Receivables which for any reason
are not remitted by customers to the lockbox, and shall not commingle such collections with Borrower’s own funds. As to all moneys so collected, including all prepayments by customers, Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days of
receipt, remit all such collections to Lender in the form received by depositing such collections into an account of Lender specified by Lender and

maintained at Borrower’s expense. All amounts collected on Receivables when received by Lender shall be credited to Borrower’s Loan Account, adding 1 Business Day for collection and
clearance of remittances by wire and 3 Business Days for collection and clearance of all other remittances. Such credits shall be conditional upon final payment to Lender. Nothing contained in this Section 5.1, or otherwise in this Agreement,
shall be deemed to limit Lender’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement. 

5.2.        All records, ledger sheets, correspondence, contracts, documentation and computer
hardware and software and media relating to or evidencing Receivables or containing information relating to the Receivables shall, until delivered to Lender or removed by Lender from Borrower’s premises, be kept on Borrower’s premises,
without cost to Lender, in appropriate containers in safe places. Lender shall at all times have full access to and the right to examine and make copies of Borrower’s books and records, and shall have full access to Borrower’s computer
information systems, to confirm and verify all Receivables assigned to Lender and to do whatever else Lender deems necessary to protect its interest. Lender may at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default remove from Borrower’s
premises, or require Borrower to deliver any contracts, documentation, files and records relating to Receivables, and any computer hardware, software and media containing information relating to the Receivables or Lender may, without cost or expense
to Lender, use such of Borrower’s personnel, supplies, computer information systems and space at Borrower’s places of business as may be necessary for collection of Receivables. 

5.3.        Borrower will promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof report to Lender all
reclaimed, repossessed or returned merchandise, Account Debtor claims and any other matter affecting the value, enforceability or collectibility of Receivables. All claims and disputes relating to Receivables are to be promptly adjusted by Borrower
with the prior approval of Lender and within a reasonable time, at Borrower’s own cost and expense. Lender may, at its option, settle, adjust or compromise claims and disputes relating to Receivables which are not adjusted by Borrower within a
reasonable time. Following the occurrence of a Default, Lender may, at its option, revoke Borrower’s authority to settle or adjust disputes or to further communicate with Account Debtors. 

5.4.        Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all reasonable costs of collection
incurred by Lender in efforts to enforce payment of Receivables, recovery of or realization upon any other Collateral, including attorneys’ fees and the fees and commissions of collection agencies. All and any reasonable fees, costs and
expenses, of whatever kind and nature, including taxes of any kind, which Lender may incur in filing public notices, obtaining appraisals of the Collateral, and the reasonable charges of any attorney whom Lender may engage in preparing and filing
documents, making title or lien examinations and rendering opinion letters, as well as all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including all attorneys’ fees and including Lender’s out of pocket expenses in conducting periodic
field examinations of Borrower and the Collateral plus Lender’s prevailing per diem charge for each of its examiners in the field and office, now $850 per person per day), in administering this Agreement, protecting, preserving, enforcing or
foreclosing any security interests or rights granted to Lender hereunder, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise (including advertising costs), enforcing or collecting the Receivables, recovery of or realization upon any other Collateral,
or in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or related to its transactions with Borrower, including actions or proceedings that may involve any person asserting a priority or claim with respect to the Collateral, shall
be borne and paid for by Borrower on demand, shall constitute part of the Obligations and may at Lender’s option be charged to Borrower’s Loan Account. Borrower’s obligations under this section shall survive termination of this
Agreement for any reason.

section, (i) to the extent that an event or occurrence described in this section consists of Borrower’s failure to take, do or perform an act or action, then such failure shall not constitute a Default if no other Default has occurred and

and such rights and remedies are in addition to and not by way of limitation of any other rights or remedies Lender may have under the UCC or other applicable law. Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights and
remedies, and in which order any of the same, are to be exercised, and to determine which Receivables are to be proceeded against and in which order, and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any others, all of which
shall be cumulative. No act, failure or delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver of any of its rights and remedies. No single or partial waiver by Lender of any provision of this Agreement, or breach or default thereunder, or of any right or remedy
which Lender may have shall operate as a waiver of any other provision, breach, default, right or remedy or of the same provision, breach, default, right or remedy on a future occasion. Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and
notice of protest of all instruments included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Receivables and any and all notices or demands whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein). Lender may, at all times, proceed directly against Borrower

PROCESS AND AGREES THAT SERVICE THEREOF MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT ITS PLACE OF BUSINESS SET FORTH ABOVE. WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING, BORROWER SHALL APPEAR IN ANSWER TO SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER

any liability, loss, damage, suit or proceeding ever suffered or incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fee) as a result of Borrower’s failure to observe, perform or discharge Borrower’s duties hereunder or as a result of
Borrower’s breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason. 

 

	9.	EFFECTIVE DATE, CONTROLLING LAW AND TERMINATION 

 9.1.        This Agreement shall become effective upon acceptance by Lender at its office in the State of New York, and shall continue in full force and effect
until November 30, 2015 (the “Renewal Date”) and from year to year thereafter, unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Borrower may terminate this Agreement on the Renewal Date or on the anniversary of the Renewal Date in
any year by giving Lender at least sixty (60) days’, and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days’ prior written notice by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and in addition to its other rights hereunder,
Lender shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time by giving Borrower sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. Should a Default occur hereunder, this Agreement will be terminable by Lender at any time and Borrower shall,
upon any such termination by Lender, pay to Lender, as liquidated damages and as part of the Obligations, in addition to amounts payable under Section 8.1 hereof, an amount equal to (a) three percent of the Maximum Credit Facility then in
effect, if such termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date; (b) two percent of the Maximum Credit Facility then in effect, if such termination occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to
the second anniversary of the Closing Date; and (c) one percent of the Maximum Credit Facility then in effect if such termination occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date. In the event that Lender shall permit termination
of this Agreement by Borrower other than as provided herein, as a condition to such termination, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional liquidated damages in addition to performance of any other conditions to such termination. No termination
of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Borrower of its duties, obligations and covenants hereunder until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full, and the continuing security interest in Receivables and other Collateral
granted to Lender hereunder or under any other agreement shall remain in effect until such Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any provision hereof that by its terms survives termination of this Agreement shall survive
pursuant to such terms. No provision hereof shall be modified or amended orally or by course of conduct but only by a written instrument expressly referring hereto signed by both parties. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between Lender
and Borrower as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements (whether oral or written) as to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower consents to Lender’s sale of participations
in the loans made under this Agreement. 
 9.2.        ALL LOANS SHALL BE DISBURSED BY
LENDER FROM ITS OFFICE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SHALL BE PAYABLE BY BORROWER AT SUCH OFFICE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL TRANSACTIONS THEREUNDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE CONSUMMATED IN SUCH STATE AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED IN


  
 14 









 
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THAT STATE. If any part or provision of this Agreement is invalid or in contravention of the applicable laws or regulations of any controlling jurisdiction, such part
or provision shall be severable without affecting the validity of any other part or provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any related document, Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or apply, as
interest on the Loan Account, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest (“Maximum Rate”) permitted to be charged from time to time by applicable law (if such law imposes any maximum rate), and in the event Lender ever
receives, collects, or applies as interest, any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, such amount shall be deemed and treated as a partial prepayment of the principal of the Loan Account; and, if the principal of the Loan Account and all other of
Lender’s charges other than interest are paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to Borrower. 
  

	10.	MISCELLANEOUS
