3. Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:


 


1.1           “Borrowing Base” means the sum of:







(a)           (i)           for the period lasting from December 31, 2010 through and including February 15, 2011, 85% of the balance due on Acceptable Receivables; and


(ii)           thereafter, 80% of the balance due on Acceptable Receivables; and







(b)           (i)           for the period lasting from December 31, 2010 through and including February 15, 2011 the lesser of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or 25% of the value of Acceptable Inventory; and


(ii)           thereafter the lesser of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) or 20% of the value of Acceptable Inventory.







In determining the value of Acceptable Inventory to be included in the Borrowing Base, the Bank will use the lowest of (i) the Borrower’s cost, (ii) the Borrower’s estimated market value, or (iii) the Bank’s independent determination of the resale value of such inventory in such quantities and on such terms as the Bank deems appropriate.







After calculating the Borrowing Base as provided above, the Bank may deduct such reserves as the Bank may establish from time to time in its reasonable credit judgment, including, without limitation, reserves for rent at leased locations subject to statutory or contractual landlord’s liens, inventory shrinkage, dilution, customs charges, warehousemen’s or bailees’ charges, liabilities to growers of agricultural products which are entitled to lien rights under the federal Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act or any applicable state law, and the amount of estimated maximum exposure, as determined by the Bank from time to time, under any interest rate contracts which the Borrower enters into with the Bank (including interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options thereon, combinations thereof, or similar contracts).


 


4. The Borrower hereby issues, ratifies and confirms the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby.  The Borrower agrees that this Agreement is not intended to and shall not cause a novation with respect to any or all of the Obligations.


 


5. The Borrower acknowledges and warrants that the agrees that the Borrower has no (and alternatively waives each and every) counterclaim, recoupment, setoff, reduction or defense with respect to the Obligations or otherwise, however arising, in contract, in tort or otherwise and whenever arising; and alternatively, releases, withdraws, waives and discharges any and all claims, rights, demands, damages, causes of action, judgments or liabilities which the Borrower has, had or may have ever had against the Lender, including but not limited to any arising in connection with the Obligations or otherwise.


 


6. The Borrower shall pay at the time this Agreement is executed and delivered all fees, commissions, costs, charges, taxes and other expenses incurred by the Lender and its counsel in connection with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and expenses of the Lender’s counsel and all recording fees, taxes and charges.


 


7. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of Maryland.


 


8. This Agreement is one of the Financing Documents.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals or counterparts, each of such duplicate originals or counterparts shall be deemed to be an original and all taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.  Each party to this Agreement agrees that the respective signatures of the parties may be delivered by fax, PDF, or other electronic means acceptable to the Lender and that the parties may rely on a signature so delivered as an original.  Any party who chooses to deliver its signature in such manner agrees to provide promptly to the other parties a copy of this Agreement with its inked signature, but the party’s failure to deliver a copy of this Agreement with its inked signature shall not affect the validity, enforceability and binding effect of this Agreement.
