 SECTION
3. 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 each Company on a revolving basis (i.e. subject to the limitations set forth herein, each Company 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 any Company or the Funds Administrator 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 plus the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit 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
of the Companies on the date of the request therefor or the funding thereof. Any request for Revolving Loan must be received by an officer of the Agent no later than 12:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas 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 Funds Administrator 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 Funds Administrator that the Funds Administrator 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 Funds Administrator shall be irrevocable, and the Funds Administrator 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
Funds Administrator that the Funds Administrator 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 Funds Administrator and shall handle all collections of Collateral and repayment of all Obligations. It is understood
that for purposes of advances to the Funds Administrator 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.

  

 21 








 (d) Settlement Among Lenders. 
 (i) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to any advance to the Companies 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 Companies 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 the Companies, 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 Companies 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 each Company each time that the Funds
Administrator requests a Revolving Loan or a Letter of Credit under this Financing Agreement, and each such request shall also constitute a representation and warranty by each Company that, after giving effect to the requested Revolving Loan or
Letter of Credit, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding. 
 (f) Funds Administrator
Appointment. Each Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Funds Administrator, as the agent for such Company on its behalf, to (i) request Revolving Loans from Agent, (ii) to give and receive notices under the Loan Documents and
(iii) take all other action which the Funds Administrator or the Companies are permitted or required to take under this Financing Agreement. 
  

 22 








 3.2 Handling of Proceeds of Collateral; Cash Dominion. 
 (a) Collection of Accounts and Other Proceeds. The Companies, at their expense, will enforce and collect payments and other amounts owing on
all Accounts in the ordinary course of the Companies’ business subject to the terms hereof. Each Company agrees to direct its account debtors to send payments on all Accounts directly to a lockbox associated with a Depository Account, and to
include on all of such Company’s invoices the address of such a lockbox as the sole address for remittance of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any Company ever receive any payment on an Account 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 no later than the second Business Day following receipt. 
 (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 is maintained in order to effectuate the transfer 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, each 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 other than with respect to an account which is a payroll 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. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) below,
the Agent shall charge the Revolving Loan Account for all loans and advances made by the Agent and the Lenders to the Funds Administrator, or otherwise, or for the Companies’ account, and for all any other Obligations, including Out-of-Pocket
Expenses, when due and payable hereunder. Upon request by Company, the Agent shall give the Companies notice of charges made to the Revolving Loan Account and shall provide the Companies with an explanation of such charges in reasonable detail.
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 the Companies’ 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 

  

 23 








 
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, each Company agrees that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to perform in any respect any of such Company’s
contracts or obligations relating to the Accounts. 
 (b) In order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Companies
(collectively the “Collective Borrowers”) in the most efficient and economical manner, and in order to facilitate the handling of the accounts of the Collective Borrowers on the Agent’s books, the Collective Borrowers have
requested, and the Agent has agreed to handle accounts of the Collective Borrowers on the Agent’s books on a combined basis, all in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (i) in lieu of maintaining separate accounts on the Agent’s books in the name of each of the Collective Borrowers, the Agent shall maintain one
Revolving Loan Account. Confirmatory assignments of Accounts will continue to be made to the Agent by each of the Collective Borrowers. Loans and advances made by the Agent to any of the Collective Borrowers will be charged to the Revolving Loan
Account indicated above, along with any charges and expenses under this Financing Agreement. The Revolving Loan Account will be credited, with all amounts received by the Agent from any of the Collective Borrowers or from others for their account
including all amounts received by the Agent in payment of Accounts assigned to the Agent as provided in this Financing Agreement; 
 (ii)
each month the Agent will render to the Collective Borrowers one extract of the combined Revolving Loan Account, which shall be deemed to be an account stated as to each of the Collective Borrowers and which will be deemed correct and accepted by
all of the Collective Borrowers unless the Agent receives a written statement of exceptions from them within thirty (30) days after such extract has been rendered by the Agent. It is expressly understood and agreed by each of the Collective
Borrowers that the Agent shall have no obligation to account separately to any of the Collective Borrowers; 
 (iii) requests for loans and
advances may be made by the Funds Administrator as agent for the Collective Borrowers and the Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept, honor and rely on such instructions and requests, subject to the limitation and provisions set forth in
this Financing Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed by each of the Collective Borrowers that the Agent shall have no responsibility to inquire into the correctness of the apportionment, allocation, or disposition of (x) any loans
and advances made to any of the Collective Borrowers or (y) any of the Agent’s expenses and charges relating thereto. All loans and advances are made for the Revolving Loan Account; 
 (iv) the Collective Borrowers jointly and severally unconditionally guarantee to the Agent and the Lenders the prompt payment in full of (A) all
loans and advances made and to be made by the Agent and/or the Lenders to any of them under this Financing Agreement, as well as (B) all other Obligations of the Collective Borrowers to the Agent and/or the Lenders and hereby expressly confirm
in all respects the guaranties executed by each of the Collective Borrowers in the Agent’s and/or the Lenders’ favor as more fully set forth therein; 
  

 24 








 (v) all Accounts assigned to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders by any of the Collective Borrowers
and any other Collateral now or hereafter given to the Agent and/or the Lenders by any of the Collective Borrowers (be it Accounts or otherwise), shall secure all loans and advances made by the Agent and/or the Lenders to any of the Collective
Borrowers, and shall be deemed to be pledged to the Agent as security for any and all other Obligations of the Collective Borrowers to the Agent and/or the Lenders as set forth under this Financing Agreement, the guaranties, or any other agreements
between the Agent and/or the Lenders and any of the Collective Borrowers; 
 (vi) It is understood that the handling of the accounts of the
Collective Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Collective Borrowers and at their request, and that the Agent shall incur no liability to the Collective Borrowers as a result
hereof. To induce the Agent and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each of the Collective Borrowers hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent and the Lenders and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless against any and all liability,
expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Agent and/or the Lenders by any of the Collective Borrowers or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred solely by reason of (A) the method of handling the accounts of
the Collective Borrowers as herein provided, (B) the Agent relying on any instructions of any of the Collective Borrowers, or (C) any other action taken by the Agent in accordance with this subparagraph (b) of Paragraph 3.3 of
Section 3 of this Financing Agreement; and 
 (vii) The foregoing request was made because the Collective Borrowers are engaged in an
integrated operation that requires financing on a basis permitting the availability of credit from time to time to each of the Collective Borrowers as required for the continued successful operation of each of the Collective Borrowers. Each of the
Collective Borrowers expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from such availability. In addition, the Companies have informed the Agent that: 
 (A) The Funds Administrator, in order to increase the efficiency and productivity of each of the other Collective Borrowers, has centralized in itself a cash management system which entails, in part, central
disbursement and operating accounts in which it provides the working capital needs of each of the other Collective Borrowers and manages and timely pays the accounts payable of each of the other Collective Borrowers; 
 (B) Each Company is further enhancing the operating efficiencies of the other Collective Borrowers by purchasing, or causing to be
purchased, in its name for its account all materials, supplies, inventory and services required by the other Collective Borrower which will result in reducing the operating costs of the other Collective Borrowers; and 
 (C) Since all of the Collective Borrowers are now engaged in an integrated operation that requires financing on an integrated basis and
since each Collective Borrower expects to benefit from the continued successful performance of such integrated operations and in order to best utilize the collective borrowing powers of each Collective Borrower in the most effective and cost
efficient manner and to avoid adverse effects on the operating 

  

 25 








 
efficiencies of each Collective Borrower and the existing back-office practices of the Collective Borrowers, each Collective Borrower has requested that all
Revolving Loans and advances be disbursed solely upon the request of the Funds Administrator and to bank accounts managed solely by the Funds Administrator and that the Funds Administrator will manage for the benefit of each Collective Borrower the
expenditure and usage of such funds. 
 3.4 Repayment of Overadvances. If at any time (a) the sum of the
outstanding balance of Revolving Loans and undrawn amount of Letters of Credit 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. 
 (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. 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, the Funds Administrator 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 Funds Administrator. 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,
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 Companies (by mail, facsimile, e-mail or posting to CIT’s System, as 

  

 26 








 
mutually agreed to by the Funds Administrator 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 and the Companies during that month. Absent manifest error, each monthly statement shall be deemed correct and binding upon the Companies and the Lenders, and shall constitute accounts stated
between the Companies and the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, unless the Agent receives a written statement of exception from the Companies or any Lender within forty-five (45) days of the date of such monthly statement. 

3.7 Access to CIT’s System. The Agent shall provide to the Funds Administrator 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: 
 (a) The Agent shall
provide to the Funds Administrator an initial password for secured access to CIT’s System. The Funds Administrator shall provide the Agent with a list of officers and employees that are authorized from time to time access CIT’s System, and
the Funds Administrator agrees to limit access to the password and CIT’s System to such authorized officers and employees. After the initial access, the Funds Administrator shall be solely responsible for (i) changing and maintaining the
integrity of the Funds Administrator’s password and (ii) any unauthorized use of the Funds Administrator’s password or CIT’s System by the Funds Administrator’s officers and employees. 
 (b) The Companies shall use CIT’s System and the Companies’ 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 Companies 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 Companies hereby confirm and agree 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
Companies 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, each Company agrees to cease any use of the
CIT’s System. 
 (d) All agreements, covenants and representations and warranties made by any Company in any borrowing base
certificate submitted to the Agent by means of CIT’s System are incorporated herein by reference. 
 (e) Structure of Credit
Facility. Each Company agrees and acknowledges that the present structure of the credit facilities detailed in this Financing Agreement is based in part 

  

 27 








 
upon the financial and other information presently known to Agent and Lenders regarding each Company, the corporate structure of Companies, and the present
financial condition of each Company. Each Company hereby agrees that Agent shall have the right, following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, to require that any or all of the following changes be made to these credit facilities:
(i) establish a separate “borrowing base” for each Company, (ii) advance a Revolving Loan specifically to a specific Company, based on such Company’s availability under its own “borrowing base”, (iii) restrict
loans and advances between Companies, (iv) establish separate lockbox and dominion accounts for each Company, and (v) establish such other procedures as shall be deemed by Agent to be useful in tracking where Revolving Loans are made under
this Agreement and the source of payments received by Agent on such Revolving Loans. 
 SECTION 4. Reserved 
 SECTION 5. Letters of Credit. 
 In order to
assist the Companies (or any of them) in establishing or opening Letters of Credit with an Issuing Bank, the Company has requested that the Lenders (acting through the Agent) join in the applications for such Letters of Credit, and/or guarantee
payment or performance of such Letters of Credit and any drafts or acceptances thereunder through the issuance of one or more Letter of Credit Guaranties, thereby lending the Lenders’ credit to the Companies, and the Agent and the Lenders have
agreed to do so. These arrangements shall be handled by the Agent subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 hereof and the terms and conditions set forth below. 
 5.1 Assistance and Purpose. Within the Revolving Line of Credit and subject to sufficient Net Availability, the Lenders (acting
through the Agent) shall assist the Companies (or any of them) in obtaining Letters of Credit in an aggregate undrawn amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the Letter of Credit Sub-Line. The term, form and purpose of each Letter of Credit and
all documentation in connection therewith, and any amendments, modifications or extensions thereof, must be mutually acceptable to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Funds Administrator. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Financing
Agreement to the contrary, if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, the Agent’s and the Lenders’ assistance in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be in discretion of the Required Lenders.

 5.2 Authority to Charge Revolving Loan Account. Each Company hereby authorizes the Agent, without notice to such
Company, to charge the Revolving Loan Account with the amount of all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of any kind incurred by the Agent or the Lenders under a Letter of Credit Guaranty, including the charges of an Issuing Bank, as such
indebtedness, liabilities and obligations are charged to or paid by the Agent or the Lenders, or, if earlier, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon request by Companies, the Agent shall give the Companies notice of charges made to the
Revolving Loan Account and shall provide the Companies with an explanation of such charges in reasonable detail. Any amount charged to the Revolving Loan Account shall be deemed a Chase Bank Rate Loan hereunder and shall incur interest at the rate
provided in Section 8.1 (or Section 8.2, if applicable) of this Financing Agreement. Each Company confirms that any charges which the Agent may make to 

  

 28 








 
the Revolving Loan Account as provided herein will be made as an accommodation to such Company and solely at the Agent’s discretion. 
 5.3 Indemnity Relating to Letters of Credit. Each Company unconditionally indemnifies the Agent and the Lenders, and holds the Agent
and the Lenders harmless from any and all loss, claim or liability incurred by the Agent or the Lenders arising from any transactions or occurrences relating to Letters of Credit established or opened for any Company’s account, the Collateral
relating thereto and any drafts or acceptances thereunder, and all Obligations thereunder, including any such loss, claim or liability arising from any error, omission, negligence, misconduct or other action taken by an Issuing Bank, other than for
any such loss, claim or liability arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Agent with respect to a Letter of Credit Guaranty. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Financing Agreement and the repayment of the
Obligations. 
 5.4 Compliance of Goods, Documents and Shipments with Agreed Terms. The Agent shall not be responsible for:
(a) the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of the goods purporting to be represented by any documents relating to any Letter of Credit; (b) any difference or variation in the character, quality,
quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of the goods from that expressed in such documents; (c) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of such documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be
in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (d) the time, place, manner or order in which shipment is made; (e) partial or incomplete shipment, or failure or omission to ship any or all of the goods referred to in the
Letters of Credit or documents relating thereto; (f) any deviation from instructions; (g) delay, default, or fraud by the shipper and/or anyone else in connection with the goods or the shipping thereof; or (h) any breach of contract
between the shipper or vendors and any Company. 
 5.5 Handling of Goods, Documents and Shipments. Each Company agrees

reasonable business judgment. In addition, each Company agrees not to: (a) at any time, (i) execute any application for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities or delivery orders, (ii) grant any extensions of the maturity of,

discretion to determine which rights, security, liens, security interests or remedies the Agent shall at any time pursue, foreclose upon, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect to, without in any way modifying or

 (a) Maintenance of Financial Records; Inspections. Prior to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default,
each Company agrees to maintain books and records pertaining to such Company’s financial matters consistent with sound accounting practices and, after the occurrence of a Default or any Event of Default, each Company agrees to maintain books
and records pertaining to such Company’s financial matters in such detail, form and scope as the Agent reasonably may require. Each Company agrees that the Agent, and/or any agent designated by the Agent, may enter upon any 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 any 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. Each Company irrevocably authorizes all accountants and third parties to disclose and deliver directly to the Agent and the Lenders, at the
Companies’ expense, all financial statements and information, books, records, work papers and management reports generated by them or in their possession regarding any 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. Each 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 each 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. Each 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. Each Company agrees to do whatever the Agent reasonably may request from time to time, by way of (i) filing notices of liens, financing statements, amendments, renewals and continuations thereof, (ii) cooperating
with agents and employees of the Agent, (iii) keeping Collateral records, (iv) transferring proceeds of Collateral to the Agent’s possession in accordance with the terms hereof and (v) performing such further acts as the Agent
reasonably may require in order to effect the purposes of this Financing Agreement, including the execution of control agreements with respect to Depository Accounts and Investment Property. 
 (c) Insurance and Condemnation. 
 (i) Required Insurance. The Companies agree to maintain insurance on the Real Estate, Equipment and Inventory under such policies of insurance, with such insurance 
  

 36 








 
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 Collateral 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, any 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 any 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 the Companies provide 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 the Companies’ expense to protect the Agent’s interests in the Collateral. The insurance purchased by the Agent may, but need not, protect the
Companies’ interests in the Collateral, and therefore such insurance may not pay any claim which the Companies make or any claim which is made against the Companies in connection with the Collateral. The Company may later request that the Agent
cancel any insurance purchased by the Agent, but only after providing the Agent with satisfactory evidence that the Companies have the Required Insurance. If the Agent purchases insurance covering all or any portion of the Collateral, the Companies
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 the Companies may be able to
purchase on their own. In the event that the Agent purchases insurance, the Agent will notify the Companies 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, the Companies provide the Agent with proof that the Companies have the Required Insurance as of the date on which the Agent purchased insurance and the Companies have 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 the amount of all costs, interest and other charges associated with such insurance that the Agent previously charged to the
Revolving Loan Account. 
  

 37 








 (iii) Application of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. So long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and remain outstanding as of the date of the Agent’s receipt of any Casualty Proceeds: 
 (w) 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 to repay the outstanding Revolving Loans. 
 (x) 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) In the event of
any loss or damage to any item of Collateral (other than Equipment, so long as such Equipment is subject to the Negative Pledge and remains Excluded Collateral) by condemnation, fire or other casualty, if the Casualty Proceeds relating to such
condemnation, fire or other casualty exceed $100,000, the Companies 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. If the Companies elect 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 any Company by condemnation, fire or other casualty, the Companies 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 any 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 the Companies have sufficient
business interruption insurance to replace the lost profits of the facilities affected by the condemnation, fire or other casualty, the Companies may elect to repair or replace such Real Estate, subject to the following terms: 
 (1) If the Companies reasonably determine that the Real Estate may be repaired to substantially the same condition of the Real Estate prior to the
condemnation, fire or other casualty, the Companies 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 establish an Availability Reserve in an amount equal to such Casualty Proceeds. The Companies 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, the Companies 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 
  

 38 








 
the exercise of its reasonable business judgment), the Agent will eliminate any remaining Availability Reserve established hereunder. 
 (2) The Companies may elect to replace the Real Estate owned by the Companies 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 Companies do 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 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. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the insurance requirements set forth above with respect to Equipment and Real Estate shall only apply if such Equipment or Real Estate is no longer Excluded Collateral or is no longer
subject to the Negative Pledge. 
 (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 a 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 Companies 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 the Companies, 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 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 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 have a Material Adverse Effect. No 
  

 39 








 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 Companies agree to notify the Agent in writing of:

 (i) any expenditure (actual or anticipated) in excess of $100,000 for environmental clean-up, environmental compliance or environmental

 (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and remain outstanding on the date on which such new LIBOR Loan is requested and on the first day of the Interest Period for such new LIBOR Loan; 
 (ii) the Funds Administrator requests the new LIBOR Loan no later than three (3) Business Days preceding the first day of the Interest Period for such new LIBOR Loan (or three (3) Business Days prior to the

determined by the Agent adequately and fairly reflects the cost of maintaining or funding the Lenders’ loans bearing interest at LIBOR for such Interest Period, and (y) such Interest Period ends on or before the Termination Date.

 Any LIBOR election must be for at least $1,000,000 and if greater, in integral multiples of $200,000, and there shall be no more than three (3) LIBOR
Loans outstanding at one time. Elections for LIBOR Loans shall be irrevocable once made. If any condition for a LIBOR 
  

 48

Companies as a Chase Bank Rate Loan. In addition to the conditions set forth above, prior to the Initial Adjustment Date, the LIBOR Loans shall not be available except (i) with respect to the Supported Revolving Loan Amount or (ii) if the

 (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 Companies, 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 the Companies) 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 Companies prior to the effective date of such election. Upon receipt of such notice, the Funds Administrator may cancel the Funds Administrator’s 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 hereby agree to pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on demand, any
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.

“Lender” shall include any financial institution that purchases from any Lender a participation in the loans made by such Lender to the Companies hereunder. 
 8.10 LIBOR Breakage Costs and Fees. In the event that the Companies (i) pay all or any part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period for
such LIBOR Loan, (ii) fail to borrow a LIBOR Loan, or fail to convert a Chase Bank Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan, on the date for such borrowing or conversion specified in the relevant request to the Agent, or (iii) fail to pay to the Agent
the principal of, or interest on, any LIBOR Loan when due, the Companies agree to pay to the Agent and each Lender (without duplication), on demand, (y) such amount as shall compensate the Agent or any Lender for any actual loss, cost or
expense that the Agent or any Lender may sustain or incur as a result of such event (including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by the Agent or any Lender to lenders or depositors of funds obtained by the Agent or any Lender in
order to make or maintain any LIBOR Loans under this Financing Agreement), and (z) in the case of a prepayment of any LIBOR Loan, the excess (if any) of the amount of interest that would have accrued on such loan from the first day of the
Interest Period to the date of prepayment, assuming that such loan was a Chase Bank Rate Loan, over the amount of interest that actually accrued on such loan from the first day of the Interest Period to the date of prepayment. 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 Companies containing the Agent’s or any Lender’s calculations thereof
in reasonable detail, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Companies, in the absence of manifest error.

Fee. In the event the Companies terminate 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 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 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. The reasonable determination of a Lender of the amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender with respect to
this Section 8.12 and the calculation thereof, when set forth in a written notice and delivered to the Companies, shall be conclusive and binding on the Companies. 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 
  

 50 








 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 Companies 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 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. The reasonable determination of any Lender of the amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender with respect to this Section 8.13 and the calculation thereof, when set forth in a written notice and delivered
to the Companies, shall be conclusive and binding on the Companies. 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 reduction in payment, such excess shall be returned to the Companies by such Lender. 
 8.14 Authority to Charge Revolving Loan Account. Each Company hereby authorizes the Agent to charge the Revolving Loan Account with
the amount of all payments due under this Section 8 as such payments become due. Upon request by the Companies, the Agent shall give the Companies notice of charges made to the Revolving Loan Account and shall provide the Companies with
an explanation of such charges in reasonable detail. Any amount charged to the Revolving Loan Account shall be deemed a Chase Bank Rate Loan hereunder and shall bear interest at the rate provided in Section 8.1 (or
Section 8.2, if applicable) of this Financing Agreement. Each Company confirms that any charges which the Agent may make to 
  

 51 








 the Revolving Loan Account as provided herein will be made as an accommodation to such Company and solely at the
Agent’s discretion. 
 SECTION 9. Powers 
 9.1 Authority. Each Company hereby authorizes the Agent, or any person or agent which the Agent may designate, at the Companies’ cost and expense, to exercise all of the following powers,
which authority shall be irrevocable until the termination of this Financing Agreement and the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations:

 (a) the cessation of the business of any Company, or the calling of a meeting of the creditors of any Company for purposes of
compromising its debts and obligations; 
 (b) the failure of any Company to generally meet its debts as those debts mature; provided,

 (d) the
breach or violation by any Company of any warranty, representation or covenant contained in this Financing Agreement (other than those referred to in Section 10.1(e) below), provided that such breach or violation shall not be
deemed to be an Event of Default unless the Company fails to cure such breach or violation as determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion within fifteen (15) days from the date that is the earlier of when (i) any Company knew or should
have known of such breach or violation or (ii) any Company received notice of such breach or violation; 
 (e) the breach or
violation by any Company of any warranty, representation or covenant contained in Sections 3.2, 6.3(a), 6.4, 6.5(a), 7.2(c)(i), 7.2(d), 7.2(g)(i), 7.3 and 7.4;

reasonable business judgment, subject any Company to any tax, penalty or other liability having a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (h) the
occurrence of any event of default (after giving effect to any applicable grace or cure period) under any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the other Loan Documents ceases to be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms;

 (i) the occurrence of any event of default (after giving effect to any applicable grace or cure period) under any instrument or
agreement evidencing or governing (i) the Subordinated Debt or (ii) other Indebtedness of the Companies (or any of them) having a principal amount in excess of $500,000; or 
 (j) a Change of Control shall occur. 
 10.2 Remedies With Respect to Outstanding Loans. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, at the option of the Agent or the Required Lenders, all loans, advances and extensions of credit provided for in
Sections 3 and 5 of this Financing Agreement thereafter shall be made in the Agent’s and the Lenders’ discretion, and the obligation of the Agent and the Lenders to make Revolving Loans, and to assist the Companies in opening
Letters of Credit, shall cease unless such Default is cured to the satisfaction of the Required Lenders or 
  

 53

Section 10.1(c), and (y) this Financing Agreement automatically shall terminate and all Obligations shall become due and payable immediately without any declaration, notice or demand by the Agent or the Lenders, upon the
commencement of any proceeding described in clause (i) of Section 10.1(c) or the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (ii) of Section 10.1(c). The exercise of any option is not exclusive of any
other option that may be exercised at any time by the Agent or the Lenders. 
 10.3 Remedies With Respect to Collateral.
Immediately after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent may, at its option, and the Agent shall, upon the request of the Required Lenders, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (a) remove from any premises where same may be
located any and all books and records, computers, electronic media and software programs associated with any Collateral (including electronic records, contracts and signatures pertaining thereto), documents, instruments and files, and any
receptacles or cabinets containing same, relating to the Accounts, and the Agent may use, at the Companies’ expense, such of the Companies’ personnel, supplies or space at the Companies’ places of business or otherwise, as may be
necessary to properly administer and control the Accounts or the handling of collections and realizations thereon; (b) bring suit, in the name of any Company, the Lenders or the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and generally shall have all other

in the name of any Company or the Agent; (c) sell, assign and deliver the Collateral and any returned, reclaimed or repossessed merchandise, with or without advertisement, at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or otherwise, at the
Agent’s sole option and discretion, and the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may bid or become a purchaser at any such sale, free from any right of redemption, which right is hereby expressly waived by each Company; (d) foreclose the
Agent’s security interests in the Collateral by any available judicial procedure, or take possession of any or all of the Collateral without judicial process, and to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of
taking possession of or removing the same; and (e) exercise any other rights and remedies provided in law, in equity, by contract or otherwise. The Agent shall have the right, without notice or advertisement, to sell, lease, or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of the Collateral whether in its then condition or after further preparation or processing, in the name of any Company or the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, or in the name of such other party as the Agent may designate,
either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lots or in bulk, for cash or for credit, with or without warranties or representations (including, without limitation, warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like),
and upon such other terms and conditions as the Agent in its sole discretion may deem advisable, and the Agent shall have the right to purchase at any such sale on behalf of the 
  

 54 








 Lenders. 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 liable to the Agent and the Lenders for any deficiencies, and the Agent in turn agrees to remit to the Companies or their 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. 
 10.4 Application of Proceeds. 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 Out of Pocket Expenses; 
 (b) second, to all accrued and unpaid fees owed to the Agent and the Lenders; 
 (c) third, to
accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations; and 
 (d) fourth, to the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations. 
 10.5 General Indemnity. In addition to the Companies’ agreement to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for Out-of-Pocket
Expenses, but without duplication, each Company hereby jointly and severally agrees 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); 
  

 55 








 (b) as a result of any environmental pollution, hazardous material or environmental clean-up
relating to the Real Estate, the 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 
 (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 Revolving Line of Credit only as of the initial or any subsequent Termination Date, and then only by the Agent giving the Companies at least sixty (60) days prior written notice
of termination. 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 (including any amounts not yet paid under Section 8.6) 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. 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. 
  

 56 








 SECTION 12. Miscellaneous 
 12.1 Waivers. Except as otherwise agreed to herein, if at all, 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. 

12.2 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents: (a) constitute the entire
agreement among the Companies, 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 the Companies and the Required Lenders; and (d) shall bind and benefit the Companies, 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 the Companies, 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 Companies. 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. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF
PROCESS BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR OTHER SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

 SECTION 13. Agreements Regarding the Lenders 
 13.1 Copies of Statements and Financial Information. The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the monthly loan account
statement delivered by the Agent to the Companies. In addition, the Agent agrees to provide the Lenders with copies of all financial statements, projections and business plans of the Companies that the Agent receives from the Companies or their
advisors from time to time, without any duty to confirm or verify that such information is true, correct or complete. 
 13.2 Payments
of Principal, Interest and Fees. After the Agent’s receipt of, or charging of, 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 Administrative
Management Fee 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. 
 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 the Companies on the Settlement Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1(d)
hereof, and the Companies do 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. With the prior written consent of the Agent and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Companies (which consent will not unreasonably be withheld), 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 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, 
  

 59 








 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. With the prior written consent of the Agent and so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Companies (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 $1,000,000, (ii) such assignment shall be allocated ratably between such Lender’s
Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder, and (iii) the Company 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. 
 (c) Cooperation of Company. If necessary, each Company agrees to (i) execute any documents (including new Promissory Notes) reasonably required to effectuate and acknowledge each assignment of a
Commitment made pursuant to an Assignment and Transfer Agreement, (ii) make such Company’s management available to meet with the Agent and prospective participants and assignees of Commitments and (iii) assist the Agent or the Lenders
in the preparation of information relating to the financial affairs of such Company as any prospective participant or assignee of a Commitment reasonably may request. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.7, each Company authorizes
each Lender to disclose to any prospective participant or assignee of a Commitment, any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Company and its financial affairs which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of
such Company pursuant to this Financing Agreement, or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Company in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Company prior to entering into this Financing Agreement.

 13.5 Sharing of Liabilities. 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 any 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 any 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 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 any 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 Revolving 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; 
  

 61 








 (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 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. 
 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 
  

 62 








 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 any 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 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 Companies 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. 
  

 63 








 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 any 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 any 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 obligation of any Company to do so), from and
against any and 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 any 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 
  

 64 








 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 the Companies’ 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”, “Collateral” or “Required Lenders”; 
 (c) amend the definition of “Borrowing Base”, or modify the Agent’s criteria for determining compliance with the definitions
of “Eligible Accounts Receivable”, 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 $2,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Companies (or any of them); or 

(e) knowingly make any Revolving Loan to the Companies if after giving effect thereto the principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans
plus the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit would exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line of Credit or (ii) one hundred ten percent (110%) 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 the limitation set forth in clause (ii) above in order to preserve, protect and 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 the Companies 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 definition of “Eligible Accounts Receivable” are satisfied, (ii) establish, adjust and release the amount of reserves provided for in the definitions of “Availability Reserve”, and
“Eligible Accounts Receivable”, (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 Companies (or any of them), and (v) amend any provision of this Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents in order to 
  

 65 








 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 ninety
(90) 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 Revolving Line of Credit to the Company
hereunder, 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. 
 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. 
 14.14 Joint and Several
Liability 
 (a) Joint and Several Liability. All Revolving Loans made to the Companies shall be deemed jointly funded
to, and received by, the Companies. Each Company jointly and severally agrees to pay, and shall be jointly and severally liable for payment and performance of, all Obligations. Each Company acknowledges and agrees that the joint and several
liability of the Companies is provided as an inducement to Agent and Lenders to provide loans and other financial accommodations to the Companies, and that each such loan or other financial accommodation shall be deemed to have been done or extended
by Agents and Lenders in consideration of, and reliance upon, the joint and several liability of the Companies. The joint and several liability of each Company hereunder is absolute, unconditional and continuing, regardless of the validity or
enforceability of any of the Obligations, or the fact that a security interest or lien in any Collateral may not be enforceable or subject to the equities or defenses or prior claims in favor of others, or may be invalid or defective in any way and
for any reason. Each Company hereby waives: (i) all notices to which such Company may be entitled as co-obligor with respect to the Obligations, including, without limitation, notice of (x) acceptance of this Financing Agreement,
(y) the making of loans or other financial accommodations under this Financing Agreement, or the creation or existence of the Obligations, and (z) presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, and notice of non-payment; and
(ii) all defenses based on (w) any modification (or series of modifications) of this Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents that may create a substituted contract, or that may fundamentally alter the risks imposed on such Company
hereunder, (x) the release of any other Company from its duties this Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the extension of the time of performance 
  

 66 








 of any other Company’s duties hereunder or thereunder, (y) the taking, releasing, impairment or abandonment of
any Collateral, or the settlement, release or compromise of the Obligations or any other Company’s liabilities with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations, or (a) any other act (or failure to act) that fundamentally alters the
risks imposed on such Company by virtue of its joint and several liability hereunder. It is the intent of each Company by this paragraph to waive any and all suretyship defenses available to such Company with respect to the Obligations, whether or
not specifically numerated above. 
 (b) Subrogation and Contribution Rights. Each Company hereby agrees that until the full
and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations and the termination of this Financing Agreement, such Company will not exercise any subrogation, contribution or other right or remedy against any other Company or security for any of the
Obligations arising by reason of such Company’s performance or satisfaction of its joint and several liability hereunder. In addition, each Company agrees that (i) such Company’s right to receive any payment of amounts due with
respect to such subrogation, contribution or other rights is subordinated to the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations, and (ii) such Company agrees not to demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such payment
until the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations and the termination of this Financing Agreement. 
 (c) Limitation
of Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Financing Agreement to the contrary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the joint and several nature of the liabilities of the Companies, and the security
interests granted by the Companies to secure the Obligations, not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of Title II of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq.), as amended, or a fraudulent conveyance
or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to tome. Accordingly, Agent, Lenders and the Companies
agree that if the obligations and liabilities of any Company hereunder, or any security interests granted by such Company securing the Obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfer under applicable law, the obligations and liabilities of such Company hereunder, as well as the security interests serving such obligations and liabilities, shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such
obligations, liabilities or security interests to constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

thereto, (individually and collectively with the Parent, “Company”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”, and individually, each a
“Lender”), and The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc, a New York corporation, as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”). Capitalized terms used in this Assignment and Transfer Agreement (this
“Agreement”) and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Financing Agreement. This Agreement, between the Assignor (as defined and set forth on Schedule 1, which is made a part of this
Agreement) and the Assignee (as defined and set forth on Schedule 1) is effective as of Effective Date (as set forth on Schedule 1). 
 1. The Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns to the Assignee, without recourse to the Assignor, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from the Assignor, without recourse to the Assignor, as of the
Effective Date, an undivided interest (the “Assigned Interest”) in and to all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Financing Agreement respecting those, and only those, portions of the financing facilities
contained in the Financing Agreement as are set forth on Schedule 1 (collectively, the “Assigned Facilities”), in an amount for each of the Assigned Facilities as set forth on Schedule 1. 
 2. The Assignor: (i) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with the Financing Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement executed or delivered in connection therewith (collectively the “Loan Documents”), or the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Financing Agreement, any Collateral thereunder or any of the other Loan Documents, other than a representation and warranty that the Assignor is the legal and beneficial owner of the
Assigned Interest and that the Assigned Interest is free and clear of any adverse claim; and (ii) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to (x) the financial condition of any Company, or (y) the

 3. The Assignee (i) represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into this Agreement, (ii) confirms that it has received a copy of the Financing Agreement as amended through the Effective Date, together
with the copies of the most recent financial statements of the Company, and such other documents and information as the Assignee has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis, (iii) agrees that the Assignee will, independently and

 powers under the Financing Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto, (v) agrees that the Assignee will be bound by the provisions of the Financing Agreement and will perform in accordance with its terms all the obligations which by the terms of the Financing Agreement are required
to be performed by it as Lender, and (vi) if the Assignee is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, attaches the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to the
Assignee’s exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to the Assignee under the Financing Agreement or such other documents as are necessary to indicate that all such payments are subject to such tax
at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty. 
 4. Following the execution of this Assignment and Transfer Agreement, such agreement
will be delivered to the Agent for acceptance by the Agent, effective as of the Effective Date. 
 5. Upon such acceptance, from and
after the Effective Date, the Agent shall make all payments in respect of the Assigned Interest (including payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts) to the Assignee, whether such amounts have accrued prior to the Effective Date or
accrue subsequent to the Effective Date. The Assignor and the Assignee shall make all other appropriate adjustments in payments for periods prior to the Effective Date made by the Agent or with respect to the making of this assignment directly
between themselves. 
 6. From and after the Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall be a party to the Financing Agreement and, to

 Schedule 7.1(g) – Litigation 
 Litigation: 
  

	(a)	Pending or Threatened Litigation and Claims 

  

	1.	The Company is a party to the following lawsuits: 

  

	 	a.	AllServe Inc. v. Aegis Communications, Inc., cause number 061-N, filed in the Court of Chancery of The State of Delaware on November 12, 2003. Based on the compliant,
the plaintiffs are apparently seeking an injunction to prevent the Company from closing the transaction with Deutsche Bank and Essar, which in the Company’s view has been closed. The complaint also seeks to specifically enforce our merger
agreement with AllServe. Alternatively, the complaint seeks payment of the $1.1 million break-up fee as well as well as other monetary damages that, according to AllServe, exceed $50 million. The Company denies that AllServe is entitled to any
injunctive relief, payment of the break-up fee or any other damages or payments. The Company’s insurance carrier will cover this claim to the extent that the Company’s officers and directors are named, subject the Company’s deductible
of $250,000. The Company’s insurance carriers will not cover any other liability in connection with this suit. 

  

	 	  	The case has been largely dormant since December 31, 2003. The Company believes that the plaintiffs do not intend to pursue this case, and in any case, the Company intends to
contest this lawsuit vigorously. 

  

	 	b.	Anthony Clark & Michael Kim et al. v. Aegis Communications Group Inc. et al., cause number CVO5-3452AHM, filed in the United District Court for the Central District
of California on May 9, 2005. In this class action the plaintiffs are seeking $200,000.00 by alleging that Aegis violated the Federal W.A.R.N. Act by not giving its Los Angeles employees a 60-day notice of when the call center was to be closed.
The Company is currently in settlement discussions with the plaintiffs. The Company’s insurance does not cover this claim. 

  

	 	c.	Ardella Coleman vs. Aegis Communications Group Inc. et al., cause number 05-C-2471, filed in the Circuit Court of Marion County, West Virginia, August 1, 2005. The
plaintiff is alleging disability discrimination under the West Virginia Human Rights Act, and is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and equitable relief. In consultation with the Company’s counsel in West Virginia, the
Company believes that its maximum liability will be $50,000, and that the Company has a good chance of prevailing on the motion for summary judgment it plans to file. The Company’s insurance does not cover this claim. 









	2.	The Company faces the following threatened litigation: 

  

	 	a.	Demand Letter dated January 30, 2006 from the law offices of Gavin N. Lewis, representing Today’s Discount Food Mart, seeking payment of an outstanding check totaling
$317.33. The Company is in discussions to settle this claim. The Company’s insurance does not cover this claim. 

  

	 	b.	Demand Letter dated March 13, 2006 from Winstead Sechrest & Minick, representing Pitney Bowes Bank, Inc., seeking payment of unpaid invoices totaling $50,759.39. At
this time, the Company has not yet had settlement discussions relating to this claim. The Company’s insurance does not cover this claim. 

  

	 	c.	Demand Letter dated April 17, 2006 from McCarthy, Summers, Bobko, Wood, Sawyer & Perry, representing Southcoast Incorporated, seeking payment of $16,527.00 for repairs
to Aegis’s call center facility in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The Company has agreed to make three payments in the amount of $5,509 on May 5, May 19 and June 2 to settle this claim. The Company’s insurance does not cover
this claim. 

  

	 	d.	Demand Letter dated May 2, 2006 from Gonzalez & Weichert, L.L.C., representing Salesforce.com., seeking payment of $5,820.36 for unpaid marketing services. At this
time, the Company has not yet had settlement discussions relating to this claim. The Company’s insurance does not cover this claim. 

  

	 	e.	Attorneys representing 40 Aegis employees assigned to a project for Aegis’s customer Humana have asserted a claim that they are entitled to compensation including commissions
or other fees, in addition to the agreed hourly wage. Each of these employees has been employed for approximately 6 months or less. They base their claim on both a written agreement (“Group Producing Agent or Agency Contract”) needed by
Humana to facilitate licensing of these Aegis employees to sell Humana products, and upon certain alleged statements made during the hiring process. Apparently, Humana independently approached and obtained executed form agreements with many of these
employees, in which the form agreement makes reference to commissions to be paid out according to a separate “commission plan” document that was never produced to such employees. The facts and even the allegations supporting these
employees’ claims are not yet developed in any detail. Counsel for both Aegis and Human are investigating the allegations to develop the underlying facts. At this time, an amount in controversy has not been established. The Company’s
insurance will in all likelihood not cover this claim. 

  

	(b)	Default Judgments entered against the Company 

  

	 	a.	Computer Hardware of America obtained a default judgment against the Company in the Dallas County Court at Law. The Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Computer
Hardware on March 1, 2006, under which 









	 	  	the Company will make four payments to Computer Hardware of America. The Company made its first and second payment on March 1 and May 1, 2006 respectively, in the amounts
of $30,000.00 and $10,000. Subsequent payments will be made on or about June 1, 2006 and July 1, 2006 in the amounts of $10,000. Notwithstanding the default judgment, Computer Hardware continues its relationship with the Company as a
vendor. 

  

	 	b.	General Electric Capital Corporation v. Aegis Communications Group, et al. GE Capital Corporation obtained a default judgment against Aegis on January 19, 2006 in the
District Court of Dallas County, Texas for approximately $61,700, plus post-judgment interest at the rate of 7.0% per annum. Aegis is in discussions with GE Capital to settle the outstanding judgment. 

  

	 	c.	Blazer Installations v. Aegis Communications Group. Blazer Installations obtained a default judgment against Aegis in the District Court of Dallas County, for approximately
$27,450. Aegis is making arrangements with Blazer Installations to pay the outstanding judgment. 

  

	 	d.	GA-Central Park, L.L.C. v. Aegis Communications Group, Inc. GA – Central Park, L.L.C. obtained a judgment against Aegis in the State Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia,
on January 9, 2006, in the amount of $74,857.64. Aegis paid the Dallas County Sheriff’s office in full satisfaction of such judgment on April 14, 2005 when the judgment was domesticated in Texas. 

 Administrative and Regulatory Claims 
  

	1.	The Company is a party to the following EEOC charges (collectively, the “EEOC Charges”): 

  

	 	a.	Charge filed by Maureen Calnan on October 20, 2004. 

  

	 	b.	Charge filed by John Caldwell on November 5, 2005.
