CIT will have its own internal auditor or an independent accounting firm perform periodic field audit(s) of the Borrower’s books and records, if necessary, and accounts receivable and inventory during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility (the costs and number of such audit(s) to be capped, in the absence of any default, at an amount to be mutually agreed upon).
  
 Eligible accounts receivable shall include, but not be limited to, accounts which are no more than 60 days past due date or 90 days past invoice date, due from US or Canada, 50% cross-age, with extended terms to certain borrowers to be considered upon results of the field exam and discussions with management.
  
 The initial reserves on the Closing Date, and the definitions of “eligible accounts receivable” shall be determined based upon the results of due diligence, including, without limitation, a completed commercial finance examination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum Borrowing Base availability on the Closing Date, after imposition of all reserves, shall be no less than $5,000,000 based on completion of the Administrative Agent’s collateral diligence. Following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall have the ability to impose additional eligibility criteria with respect to accounts receivable and/or impose additional reserves against the Borrowing Base in its “Permitted Discretion”, which shall be defined as a determination made by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable judgment (from the perspective of a secured asset-based lender), exercised in good faith, based upon its consideration of any factor that (a) would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the quantity, quality, mix or value of any material portion of the collateral, the enforceability or priority of the Administrative Agent’s liens with respect to any material portion of the collateral, or the amount that the Administrative Agent and Lenders could receive in liquidation of any material portion of the collateral, (b) indicates that any collateral report or financial information delivered by any loan party is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, (c) materially increases the likelihood of any proceeding under debtor relief laws involving any loan party, or (d) creates or would reasonably be expected to result in a default or event of default. In exercising such judgment, the Administrative Agent may consider any factors that would materially increase the credit risk of lending to Borrower on the security of the collateral. Such requirement contemplates that all of the Borrower’s debts, obligations and payables are then current in accordance with its usual business practices.

Such fee will be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each quarter and on the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Facility commitment. The undrawn amount of outstanding L/Cs shall count as utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility for purposes of calculating this fee. 
  
 An L/C fee shall be payable to L/C Issuer on behalf of each Revolving Lender with respect to such Revolving Lender’s participation in the L/Cs at the applicable margin per annum used for determining interest payable in respect of LIBOR loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility on the average daily undrawn amount of L/Cs, payable quarterly in arrears. The Borrower shall also be responsible for paying any fees, costs or expenses (including fronting fees) due to any banking or financial institution for any L/Cs issued by such other banking or financial institution in reliance on credit support furnished by CIT.

 	 Base Rate:
	 The “Base Rate” will mean, for any day, the greatest of: (i) the rate of interest per annum quoted by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its “prime rate” in effect from time to time (or if such rate is at any time not available, the prime rate so quoted by any banking institution selected by CIT), which rate is not intended to be the lowest rate charged by any such banking institution to its borrowers, (ii) the federal funds effective rate per annum plus 0.50%, and (iii) the 3-Month LIBO Rate on such day plus 1%.  Interest on Base Rate loans will be computed and payable quarterly in arrears on the basis of a 365 day year and based on the actual number of days elapsed.

	 LIBOR:
	 “LIBOR” will mean, for any interest period with respect to any LIBOR loan, the rate per annum equal to the rate determined by CIT to be the London Interbank Offered Rate benchmark rate which is calculated and distributed daily by ICE (or any successor thereto) for deposits in Dollars (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term equivalent to such interest period, distributed at  approximately 11:45 a.m. (London time) (or such other time as confirmed by ICE) two (2) business days prior to the first day of such interest period.  The Borrower may elect to use LIBOR provided (i) the Borrower gives CIT at least three business days prior notice of such election and (ii) no default is then outstanding under the Loan Documentation. Interest on LIBOR-based loans will be computed and payable at the end of the applicable LIBOR interest period (or, in the case of any interest period longer than three months, at the end of each three month period) in arrears on the basis of a 360 day year and based on the actual number of days elapsed.  In no event shall LIBOR equal less than 1.00%.
  

	 Interest Periods:
	 The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months (or, if agreed by all relevant Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, 12 months or a shorter period) of LIBOR borrowings.
  

	 Default Interest:
