      THE

      SECTION
        2.01 Borrowing.
        On the
        terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, each Lender shall make a term
        loan
        (collectively, the “Loan”)
        to the
        Company on the Closing Date in the amount of the applicable Lender’s Loan
        Commitment. The Loan shall be secured by the Collateral. The obligations
        of each
        Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint. Any amounts of the Loan
        which
        have been repaid may not be reborrowed. 

       

      SECTION
        2.02 Interest
        Rate.
        The
        Loans Outstanding shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Contract
        Rate. So
        long
        as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the election of
        Agent
        (or upon the written request of Required Lenders) confirmed by written notice
        from Agent to the Company, the interest rates applicable to the Loans
        Outstanding shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above
        the
        rates of interest otherwise applicable hereunder ("Default
        Rate"),
        and
        all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable
        to such Obligations. Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial
        date of such Event of Default until that Event of Default is cured or waived
        and
        shall be payable upon demand.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

         

      

      SECTION
        2.03 Facility
        Termination Date.
        The
        Loans Outstanding on the Facility Termination Date shall mature on such date.
        On
        the Facility Termination Date, the outstanding principal of all Loans
        Outstanding, if any, and all interest and all Fees accrued thereon and all
        other
        Obligations shall be immediately due and payable (and the Company shall pay
        all
        such amounts on the Facility Termination Date).

       

      SECTION
        2.04 Remittance
        Procedures. (a)
        On each
        Remittance Date, the Servicer, as agent for the Agent and the Lenders, and
        with
        the consent of the Agent, which consent shall be deemed to be granted by
        the
        Agent if the amounts to be remitted by the Servicer are in accordance with
        the
        waterfall provisions set forth in this Section 2.04 and the Agent shall fail
        to
        make any objections to the Remittance Report, shall instruct the Collection
        Account Bank and, if the Servicer fails to do so, the Agent may instruct
        the
        Collection Account Bank, to apply funds on deposit in the Collection Account,

        under

        Agent for the account of the Lenders in an amount equal to the amount by
        which
        the aggregate amount of the Loan Outstanding exceeds the Maximum Loan Amount
        after giving effect to required reduction of the Maximum Loan Amount on such
        Remittance Date;

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (vii) if
        such
        Remittance Date occurs on or after the occurrence of any Early Amortization
        Commencement Date and if the Early Amortization Event that gave rise to such
        Early Amortization Commencement Date is continuing, to the Agent for the

        necessary to repay the Loans Outstanding in full;

      

      (viii) at
        any

        replacement Servicer as the Servicer hereunder, to the former Servicer in

        amount equal to (if any) the Servicing Fee which had previously accrued but
        was
        unpaid as of the last day of the preceding month; 

      

      (ix) at
        any

        then
        due and payable; and

      

      (xi) any
        remaining amounts to the Company or to such other Persons as the Company
        may
        direct so long as such directive does not violate the terms of this Agreement
        or
        any other Transaction Document.

      

      (b) Reserve
        Account.
        In the
        event that there is insufficient funds in the Collection Account to enable
        the
        Company to make any payments required under Sections
        2.04(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi)
        on any
        Remittance Date, the Servicer, with the consent of the Agent which consent
        shall

        Agent shall fail to make any objections to the Remittance Report,
        or the
        Agent, if the Servivcer fails to do so, may instruct the Reserve Account
        Bank to
        apply funds in the Reserve Account towards the payment of such outstanding
        amounts; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall in any way
        diminish the Company’s obligation to make all payment of the Obligations on the
        applicable Remittance Date and the Company’s continuing obligation to maintain
        the Required Reserve Amount in the Reserve Account. 

      

      (c) Instructions
        to the Collection Bank.
        All
        instructions and directions given to the Collection Bank by the Servicer
        or the
        Agent pursuant to this Section
        2.04
        shall be
        in writing (including instructions and directions transmitted to the Collection
        Bank by telecopy), and such written instructions and directions shall be
        delivered with a written certification that such instructions and directions
        are
        in compliance with the provisions of this Section
        2.04.
        The
        Servicer shall immediately transmit to the Agent by telecopy a copy of all
        instructions and directions given to the Collection Bank by the Servicer
        pursuant to this Section

      SECTION
        2.05 Payments
        and Computations, Etc. (a)
        All
        amounts to be paid or deposited by the Company or the Servicer hereunder
        shall
        be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00
        P.M.
        (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States
        in
        immediately available funds to an account designated by the Agent. The Company
        shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Agent interest on all amounts
        not paid or deposited when due hereunder (whether owing by the Company or
        the
        Servicer) at the Contract Rate then in effect, payable on demand; provided,
        however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum
        rate
        permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be for the account of, and
        distributed by the Agent to, the Lenders. Any Obligation hereunder shall
        not be
        reduced by any distribution of any portion of Collections if at any time
        such
        distribution is rescinded or returned by the Lenders to the Company or any
        other
        Person for any reason. All computations of interest and other fees hereunder
        (including the Fees, the Servicing Fee and the Management Fee) shall be made
        on
        the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number
        of
        days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

      

      (b) Whenever
        any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business
        Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and
        such
        extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment
        of interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.

       

      SECTION
        2.06 Fees. (a)
        The
        Company shall pay the Lenders certain fees (the “Fees”)
        in the
        amounts and on the dates set forth in a fee letter (as amended, modified
        or
        supplemented from time to time, the “Fee
        Letter”),
        dated
        the date hereof, between the Company and the Agent.

      

      (b) Other
        than the Fees payable on the Closing Date, all of the Fees payable pursuant
        to
        this Section
        2.06
        shall be
        payable solely from amounts available for application pursuant to, and subject
        to the priority of payment set forth in, Section
        2.04.

       

      SECTION
        2.07 Increased
        Costs; Capital Requirements. (a) Increased
        Costs.
        If at
        any time any Lender determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption
        of, or
        any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of,
        or
        compliance with, any Requirement of Law from any Governmental Entity shall
        have
        the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender of participating, or
        agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit or (ii) imposing any other
        cost
        to such Lender with respect to compliance with its obligations under any
        Transaction Document, then, upon demand by such Lender (with copy to the
        Agent),
        the Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender amounts
        sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost.

       

      (b)
        Increased
        Capital Requirements.
        If at
        any time any Lender determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption
        of, or
        any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of,
        or
        compliance with, any Requirement of Law from any Governmental Entity regarding
        capital adequacy, reserves, special deposits, compulsory loans, insurance
        charges against property of, deposits with or for the account of, Obligations
        owing to, or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any
        similar requirement shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return
        on the
        capital of such Lenders (or any corporation controlling such Lender) as a
        consequence of its obligations under or with respect to any Transaction Document
        to a level below that which, taking into account the capital adequacy policies
        of such Lender, such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption or
        change,
        then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand
        to the Agent), the Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of such
        Lender
        amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction.

      (c)
        Compensation
        Certificate.
        Each
        demand for compensation under this Section 2.07
        shall be
        accompanied by a certificate of the Lender (the “Compensation
        Certificate”)
        claiming such compensation, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder,
        which certificate shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes,
        absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
        reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

      

      (d) Mitigation.
        Any
        Lender claiming any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.07
        shall
        use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Applicable
        Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would
        reduce any such compensation (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue)
        and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise
        disadvantageous to such Lender.

       

      SECTION
        2.08 Taxes. (a) Payments
        Free and Clear of Taxes.
        Except
        as otherwise provided in this Section 2.08
        (including the provisions of Section 2.08(b),
        each
        payment by the Company under any Transaction Document shall be made free
        and
        clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges
        or
        withholdings of whatever nature imposed by any Applicable Law or Governmental
        Entity and all liabilities directly relating thereto (and without deduction
        for
        any of them) (collectively, but excluding the Excluded Taxes, the “Taxes”).
        

       

      (b) Gross-Up.
        If any
        Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount
        payable under any Transaction Document to any Lender (i) such amount shall
        be
        increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for
        Taxes
        are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount
        under
        this Section 2.08),
        such
        Lender receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions
        been
        made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions, (iii) the Company shall
        timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other
        authority in accordance with Applicable Law and (iv) within thirty (30)
        days after such payment is made, the Company shall deliver to the Agent an
        original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment (or such
        other
        evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent); provided,
        however,
        that no
        such increase shall be made with respect to, and the Company shall not be
        required to indemnify any such Lender pursuant to clause
        (d)
        below
        for, withholding taxes to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts
        existed on the date that such Lender became a Lender under this Agreement
        in the
        capacity under which such Lender makes a claim under this clause
        (b),
        except
        in each case to the extent such Lender is a direct or indirect assignee (other
        than pursuant to Section 2.09
        (Substitution
        of Lenders))
        of any
        other Lender that was entitled, at the time the assignment of such other
        Lender
        became effective, to receive additional amounts under this clause
        (b).

      (c) Other
        Taxes.
        In
        addition, the Company shall pay, and authorizes the Agent to pay in its name,
        any stamp, sales, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar
        taxes,
        fees or levies imposed by any Applicable Law or Government Entity and all
        liabilities directly relating thereto (including by reason of any delay in
        payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery, filing,
        recording or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Transaction
        Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other
        Taxes”).
        Within twenty (20) days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes by the
        Company, the Company shall furnish to the Agent the original or a certified
        copy
        of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or such other evidence of payment
        reasonably satisfactory to Agent).

       

      (d) Indemnification.
        The
        Company shall reimburse and indemnify, within ten (10) days after receipt
        of
        demand therefor (with copy to the Agent), the Agent and each Lender for all
        Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any
        jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.08)
        paid by
        the Agent or such Lender and any liabilities directly relating thereto, whether
        or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.
        A
        certificate of the Lender (or of the Agent on behalf of itself or such Lender,
        as the case may be) claiming any compensation under this clause
        (d),
        setting
        forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Company with
        copy
        to the Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent
        manifest error. In determining such amount, the Agent and such Lender may
        use
        any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

       

      (e) Mitigation.
        Any
        Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.08
        shall
        use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Applicable
        Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would
        reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter
        accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise
        disadvantageous to such Lender.

       

      (f) Tax
        Forms.
        i)
        Each
        Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to
        an
        exemption from United States withholding tax or, after a change in any
        Requirement of Law, is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate
        under
        an applicable tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S.
        Lender
        Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the
        date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete,
        (y)
        after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
        or
        certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (i)
        and (z)
        from time to time if requested by the Company or the Agent, provide the Agent
        and the Company with two completed originals of each of the following, as
        applicable:
        (A)
        Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income
        is
        effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption
        from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty)
        or any
        successor forms,
        (B) in
        the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections
        871(h)
        or
        881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding
        tax
        under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form
        and a
        certificate in form and substance acceptable to the Agent that such Non-U.S.
        Lender Party is not (1) a “bank”
within
        the meaning of Section
        881(c)(3)(A)
        of the
        Code, (2) a “10
        percent shareholder”
of
        the
        Company within the meaning of Section
        881(c)(3)(B)
        of the
        Code or (3) a “controlled
        foreign corporation”

        881(c)(3)(C)
        of the
        Code or (C) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying
        as to
        the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to an exemption from United
        States
        withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to
        such
        Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Transaction Documents. Unless the Company
        and
        the Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating
        that payments under any Transaction Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender
        Party
        are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax
        at a
        rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Company and the Agent shall
        withhold amounts required to be withheld by Applicable Law from such payments
        at
        the applicable statutory rate.

      (ii) Each
        U.S.
        Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes
        a
“U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such
        form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence
        of
        any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously
        delivered by it pursuant to this clause
        (f)
        and (D)
        from time to time if requested by the Company or the Agent, provide the Agent
        and the Company with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that
        such
        U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding
        tax)
        or any successor form. 

      

      (iii) Each
        Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations shall collect
        from
        such participant the documents described in this clause
        (f)
        and
        provide them to the Agent and the Company.

      

      (g) If
        any
        Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund
        of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company
        or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant
        to
        this Section 2.08, it shall pay over such refund to the Company (but only
        to the
        extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company
        under this Section 2.08 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise
        to
        such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without
        interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Government Entity
        with
        respect to such refund); provided, that the Company, upon the request of
        such
        Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties,
        interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)
        to
        such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to
        such
        Government Entity. This clause shall not be construed to require any Lender
        to
        make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems
        confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

       

      SECTION
        2.09 Substitution
        of Lenders. (a) Substitution
        Right.
        In the
        event that any Lender that is not an Affiliate of the Agent (an “Affected
        Lender”),
        (i)
        makes a claim under Section
        2.07(a)
        (Increased
        Costs)
        or
Section
        2.07(b)
        (Increased
        Capital Requirements),
        (ii)
        makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.08(b)
        (Taxes)
        or
        (iii) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Transaction
        Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that
        requires the consent of other Lenders, the Company may either (i) with the
        consent of the Agent, pay in full such Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
        Obligations then outstanding or (ii) substitute for such Affected Lender
        any
        Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender or any other Person acceptable (which
        acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Agent (in
        each
        case, a “Substitute
        Lender”).

      (b) Procedure.
        To
        substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such
        Affected Lender, the Company shall deliver a notice to the Agent and such
        Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall
        be
        subject to the delivery to the Agent by the Company (or, as may be applicable
        in
        the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for
        the
        account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and
        outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all
        Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (including those that will be owed
        because of such payment and all Obligations that would be owed to such Lender
        if
        it was solely a Lender), and (ii) in the case of a substitution, an Assignment
        and Acceptance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent
        whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound
        by
        the terms of the Transaction Documents.

      

      (c) Effectiveness.
        Upon
        satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause
        (b)
        above,
        the Agent shall record such substitution or payment, whereupon in the case
        of
        any substitution, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of,
        and the
        Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such
        Affected Lender under the Transaction Documents, except that the Affected
        Lender
        shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment
        of
        the Obligations, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender”
        hereunder having a Loan Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Loan
        Commitment and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent
        an
        Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note
        in
        its possession to the Agent; provided,
        however,
        that
        the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance
        or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the
        corresponding assignment) invalid.

      SECTION
        2.12 Evidence
        of Obligations. (a)
        Each
        Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing
        Obligations of the Company to such Lender resulting from the Loan of such
        Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid

        sections and regulation referred to in Section
        2.12(c)
        and
        solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.12,
        shall
        establish and maintain (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”)
        in
        which the Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including

        rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Agent and each Lender in the
        Loans,
        each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan,
        and
        any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts
        in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record
        (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant
        to
Section 2.09
        (Substitution
        of Lenders)
        and
Section 10.04

      (c) Notwithstanding
        anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including

        Notes evidencing such Loans) are registered obligations, the right, title
        and
        interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans shall be
        transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no transfer
        thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 2.12
        and
Section 10.04
        shall be
        construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered
        form”
within
        the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any
        related regulations (and any successor provisions).

      (d) The
        entries made in the Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses
        (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be prima
        facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein;
        provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender
        or
        the Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of the
        Company to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In addition, the
        Company, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is
        recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.
        Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be
        available for inspection by the Company, the Agent or such Lender at any
        reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

       

      (e) Upon
        any
        Lender’s request, the Company shall promptly execute and deliver Notes to such
        Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender in substantially the form of
Exhibit B.
        Each
        Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title
        or
        interest of a Lender or a registered assignee in and to the related Loan,
        as set
        forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer
        instrument or obligation.

      

      (f) Each
        Lender (or participant) that grants a participation in the Loans, acting
        solely
        for purposes of Section
        2.12(f)
        as the
        agent of the Company, shall maintain a register in respect of such
        participation, to which contractual terms under such participation corresponding
        to those of Sections
        2.12(b), (c) and (d)
        shall
        apply.

        2.13 Survival
        of Representations and Warranties; Repayment Obligations.
        It is
        understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in

        and

      SECTION
        2.14 Release
        of Collateral. (a)
        In the
        event that the Transferor shall be required to repurchase any Collateral
        in
        accordance with Section
        4.7(c)
        of the
        Mossimo Contribution Agreement, the Company shall notify the Transferor of
        the
        Release Price to be paid for such Collateral on the Business Day on which
        such
        Release Price shall be paid specifying the Collateral to be released and
        the
        Release Price and the Company shall require that the Transferor deposit such
        Release Price into the Collection Account.

      

      (b) Promptly
        after the Loan Repayment Date has occurred, the Lenders and the Agent, in
        accordance with their respective interests, shall re-assign and transfer
        to the
        Company, for no additional consideration but at the sole expense of the Company,
        their respective remaining interests in the Collateral, free and clear of
        any
        Adverse Claim resulting solely from an act by the Lenders or the Agent but
        without any other representation or warranty, express or implied, by or recourse
        against the Lenders or the Agent.

      

      (c) In
        connection with any release or transfer of any Collateral permitted under
        this
Section
        2.14,
        the
        Agent shall at the expense of the Company, execute, acknowledge and deliver
        to,
        or at the direction of, the Company such release forms, instruments, agreements,
        and other documents (including UCC 3 statements or their equivalents in any
        other jurisdiction) as the Company shall reasonably request. The Agent hereby
        authorizes the Company to file such release forms, instruments, agreements,
        and
        other documents (including UCC 3 statements or their equivalents in any other
        jurisdiction) as the Company may deem necessary or appropriate in order to
        release or transfer any Collateral as permitted under this Section
        2.14.

      SECTION
        2.15 Prepayment.
        

      

      (a) The
        Company may, on any Remittance Date, prepay the Loan; provided, however,
        that
        unless the Loan is paid in full in accordance with clause (b) below, such
        prepayment shall not be in an amount in excess of $5,000,000. If the Company
        prepays the Loan in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 in accordance with
        the
        terms of this Section
        2.15(a),
        no
        prepayment fee shall be payable by the Company. 

      

      (b) The
        Company may prepay the Loan and terminate this Agreement upon (i) at least
        thirty (30) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Agent, (ii)
        the payment in full of all Loans Outstanding, together with accrued interest
        thereon on the date set forth in such notice, (iii) the payment of the
        prepayment fee as set forth in the Fee Letter; provided, however, that no
        prepayment fee shall be payable if the Loans are paid in full during the
        six (6)
        month period immediately following the Closing Date and (iv) the payment
        in full
        in cash of all other Obligations together with accrued interest thereon on
        the
        date set forth in such notice.

       

      SECTION
        2.16 Right
        Of First Refusal.
        The
        Company hereby agrees that if at any time while the Loan is outstanding (a)
        the
        Company or any Affiliate of the Company receives a bona fide, written offer,
        proposal or commitment from any third party to provide working capital financing
        to the Company or other type of financing to the Company (“Refinancing
        Offer”),
        (b)
        the terms of the Refinancing Offer are acceptable to the Company or such
        Affiliate, and (c) the Company or such Affiliate desires to accept the
        Refinancing Offer from the offeror (“Offeror”),
        the
        Company will immediately advise Agent in writing of the Refinancing Offer,
        including the identity of the Offeror, the complete terms and conditions
        of the
        Refinancing Offer and a copy of the Refinancing Offer. The Company agrees
        not to
        accept, nor shall it permit any Affiliate to accept, the Refinancing Offer
        from
        the Offeror until at least thirty (30) days after Agent’s receipt of the
        foregoing items (the “Offer
        Matching Period”).
        The
        Company further agrees that in the event Agent delivers a written commitment
        letter which (i) matches the terms set forth in the Refinancing Offer within
        the
        Offer Matching Period, and (ii) agrees to close such refinancing within sixty
        (60) days from the date the Company or such Affiliate signs such commitment
        letter, neither the Company nor the Affiliate will accept the Refinancing
        Offer
        from the Offeror and will accept the Refinancing Offer from Agent. In the
        event
        Agent is not prepared to close such refinancing (and the cause thereof is
        not
        the Company’s refusal to cooperate or provide information or documentation
        reasonably requested by Agent in connection with such refinancing) within
        sixty
        (60) days of after the expiration of the Offer Matching Period, the Company
        may
        close on the Refinancing Offer with the original Offeror within sixty (60)
        days
        after the expiration of the Offer Matching Period (subject to the payment
        of the
        prepayment fee as set forth in the Fee Letter).

        power and all licenses necessary to own its assets and to transact the business
        in which it is engaged and is duly qualified and in good standing under the
        laws
        of each jurisdiction where the transaction of such business or its ownership
        of
        the Collateral requires such qualification, except, in each case, where the
        failure to do so could not be reasonably expected to have a material adverse
        effect on the rights, interests or remedies of the Agent or any
        Lender.

      

      (b) The
        Company has the power, authority and legal right to make, deliver and perform
        this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party
        and
        all of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and has taken all
        necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
        this
        Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and
        to
        grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in
        the
        Collateral on the terms and conditions of this Agreement which security
        interest, upon the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement with the Delaware
        Secretary of State, shall constitute a first priority perfected security
        interest (subject only to Permitted Liens). This Agreement and each of the
        Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party constitutes the legal,
        valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in
        accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability hereof
        and
        thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization
        and
        other similar laws of general application affecting creditors’ rights generally
        and by general principles of equity (whether such enforceability is considered
        in a proceeding in equity or at law). No consent of any other party and no
        consent, license, approval or authorization of, or registration or declaration
        with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency is required in connection
        with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement
        or
        any Transaction Document to which it is a party or the validity or
        enforceability of this Agreement or any such Transaction Document or the
        Collateral, other than such as have been met or obtained.

      

      (c) The
        execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all other agreements
        and instruments executed and delivered or to be executed and delivered pursuant
        hereto or thereto in connection with the Pledge of the Collateral will not
        (i)
        create any Adverse Claim on the Collateral or (ii) violate any provision
        of any
        Applicable Law or the certificate of formation or operating agreement of
        the
        Company or any contract or other agreement to which or the Company is a party
        or
        by which the Company or any property or assets of the Company may be
        bound.

      

      (d) No
        litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal
        or
        governmental body is presently pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
        threatened against the Company or any of its properties or with respect to
        this
        Agreement, which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to
        have
        a material adverse effect on the business, assets or financial condition
        of the
        Company, individually or taken as a whole, or which would draw into question
        the
        validity of this Agreement, any Transaction Document to which the Company
        is a
        party or any of the other applicable documents forming part of the
        Collateral.

        of
        business for the Company and is not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar
        statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction. No such
        Collateral has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Company
        to any
        Person, other than the Pledge of such Collateral to the Agent, for the benefit
        of the Lenders, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Pledged
        to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders hereunder, is free and clear
        of any
        Adverse Claim, and the Agent has acquired, for the benefit of the Lenders,

        sharing arrangement is in place with such Tax Affiliate under which the sharing

        on the ability of Mossimo Management to perform its obligations under this
        Agreement, including those set forth in Section

        and
        all other agreements and instruments executed and delivered or to be executed
        and delivered by Mossimo Management pursuant hereto or thereto will not (i)

        of Collateral Upon Breach of Covenant or Representation and Warranty by the
        Company.
        The
        Company or Mossimo Management, as the case may be, shall inform the other
        parties to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any
        breach
        of the representations and warranties contained in Section
        4.01

Section
        4.02;
        provided,
        however,
        that
        the failure to provide any such notice shall not diminish, in any manner
        whatsoever, any obligation of the Company under this Section
        4.03
        to sell
        any Collateral. If the Transferor is required to reacquire any Collateral
        in

        shall have an obligation to, and the Company shall, resell to the Transferor

        obligation of the Company to sell) any Collateral required to be reacquired
        pursuant thereto. Mossimo Management shall notify the Agent promptly, in
        writing, of any failure by the Company to so resell any such Collateral.
        In
        connection with the resale of such Collateral, the Company shall remit funds
        in
        an amount equal to the Release Price for such Collateral to the Collection
        Account on the date of such resale.

        Covenants. (a)
        The
        Company will observe all procedures required by its certificate of formation,
        limited liability company agreement and the laws of its jurisdiction of
        formation. The Company will maintain its existence in good standing under
        the
        laws of its jurisdiction of formation and will promptly obtain and thereafter
        maintain qualifications to do business as a foreign limited liability company
        in
        any other state in which it does business and in which it is required to
        so
        qualify under applicable law, except where the failure to do could not have
        a
        material adverse effect on the rights, interests or remedies of the Agent
        or any
        Lender. The Company will maintain all licenses necessary to own its assets
        and
        transact it business. The Company will not relocate its chief executive office
        without giving the Agent at least thirty (30) days prior written
        notice.

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          18

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (b) The
        Company will at all times ensure that (i) its assets are not commingled with
        those of the Transferor or any other Affiliate of the Company, (ii) the members
        of the Company duly authorize all of its company actions, (iii) it maintains
        separate and accurate records and books of account and such books and records
        are kept separate from those of the Transferor and any other Affiliate of
        the
        Company and (iv) it maintains minutes of the meetings and other proceedings
        of
        the members of the Company. Where necessary, the Company will obtain proper
        authorization from its members for company action.

      

      (c) The
        Company will at all times be adequately capitalized to conduct its business,
        and
        shall pay its operating expenses and liabilities from its own
        assets.

      

      (d) The
        Company will not hold itself out, or permit itself to be held out, as having
        agreed to pay or as being liable for the debts of the Transferor or any other
        Affiliate of the Company, and the Company will not engage in business
        transactions with the Transferor, except for the transactions detailed in
        the
        Transaction Documents conducted on an arm’s-length basis. Furthermore, and
        without limiting any other provision of this subsection (d), the Company
        will
        not engage in business transactions (including management agreements, service
        agreements, intercompany loans and other borrowing transactions) with any
        of its
        Affiliates, officers, directors or employees, except the Company may engage
        in
        business transactions with its Affiliates if done on an arm’s-length basis and
        as contemplated hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. The
        Company
        will not hold the Transferor or any other Person out to third parties as
        other
        than an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from the Company. The
        Company will cause any of its financial statements consolidated with those
        of
        the Transferor to state that the Company is a separate entity with its own
        separate creditors who, in any liquidation of the Company, will be entitled
        to
        be satisfied out of the Company’s assets prior to any value in the Company
        becoming available to the Company’s equity holders. The Company will not create,
        form or otherwise acquire any Subsidiaries. The Company will not act in any
        other manner that could reasonably be foreseen to mislead others with respect
        to
        the Company’s separate identity.

      

      (e) Except
        as
        otherwise provided herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Company
        shall not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose
        of, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon or with respect to,
        any
        Collateral, any Collections related thereto, or upon or with respect to any
        account to which any Collections are sent, or assign any right to receive
        income
        in respect thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any other
        Transaction Document, the Company shall not create or suffer to exist any
        Adverse Claim upon or with respect to any of the Company’s assets. 

      

      (f) The
        Company will not merge or consolidate with, or convey, transfer, lease or
        otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of
        transactions), any of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired)
        or
        acquire any of the assets or capital stock or other ownership interest of
        any
        Person, except for any transactions contemplated by the Mossimo Contribution
        Agreement. 

      

      (g) The
        Company will not account for or treat (whether in financial statements or
        otherwise) the transactions contemplated by the Mossimo Contribution Agreement
        in any manner other than capital contribution and an irrevocable and absolute
        assignment of the Assets by the Transferor to the Company constituting a
        “true
        conveyance”
for
        bankruptcy purposes, it being understood that the Loan to the Company under
        this
        Agreement will be treated as debt on the consolidated financial statements
        of
        the Parent.

      (h) The
        Company will not amend, modify, waive or terminate any terms or conditions
        of
        the Mossimo Contribution Agreement without the written consent of the Agent,
        and
        shall perform its obligations thereunder. 

      

      (i) The
        Company will not amend, modify or otherwise make any change to its certificate
        of formation, including its legal name or its state of formation, or operating
        agreement without the consent of the Agent.

      

      (j) The
        Company will not make or allow to be made any amendment to the Target License
        Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and shall not make
        any
        amendment to any other License Agreement if such amendment would have a material
        adverse effects on the right, interests, remedies of the Agent or any Lender
        under this Agreement or any Transaction Document or would impair in any material
        manner the ability of the Company to repay the Loans. 

      

      (k) Upon
        receipt of any proceeds of any Collateral, the Company will remit such proceeds
        to the Servicer to be deposited by the Servicer to the appropriate account
        as
        determined in accordance with Section
        6.12
        hereof
        within two (2) Business Days of the Company’s receipt thereof. 

      

      (l) The
        Company shall not establish any depository or other bank account of any kind
        with any financial institution (other than the accounts set forth on
Schedule
        IV)
        without
        Agent’s prior written consent and the Company shall deliver to the Agent copies
        of all documents executed in connection with the opening of any new bank
        account. The Company shall maintain all of its bank accounts with financial
        institutions reasonably acceptable to the Agent. 

      

      (m) The
        Company (upon a Responsible Officer of the Company gaining knowledge thereof)
        shall promptly notify the Agent of the occurrence of any Servicer Default,
        Manager Default, Event of Default, Early Amortization Event or any default
        or
        event of default under the Mossimo Contribution Agreement. In addition, the
        Company confirms and agrees that the Company will, upon receipt of notice
        or
        discovery thereof, send to the Agent a notice of (i) any breach of material
        consequence of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant under
        any
        Assigned Document or (ii) any event or occurrence that, upon notice, or upon
        the
        passage of time or both, would constitute such a breach, in each case, promptly
        and, in any case, within two (2) Business Days of learning thereof.

      

      (n) On
        the
        first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company will obtain and thereafter
        at
        all times while Obligations are outstanding maintain one or more interest
        rate
        caps with one or more other financial institutions reasonably acceptable
        to the
        Agent effectively providing for a fixed or maximum rate of interest at all
        times
        prior to and including the Facility Termination Date, (a) on a notional
        amount equal to at least the amounts set forth on Schedule
        5.01(o),
        (b) at
        an interest rate not in excess of seven percent (7.0%) per annum (the
“Strike
        Price”)
        and
        (c) otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent. The
        Company shall deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders valid and
        perfected collateral assignments of all interest rate caps required to be
        maintained hereunder with respect to the Loan and shall obtain the
        acknowledgment and agreement of the counterparty or counterparties thereto
        (whether or not such counterparty or counterparties include the Agent or
        all or
        any of the Lenders) to pay any amounts which would otherwise be payable by
        such
        counterparty or counterparties to the Company directly to the Collection
        Account.

      (o) The
        Company shall not incur, maintain or otherwise suffer to exist any Lien upon
        or
        with respect to any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,

        soon
        as available but no later than forty five (45) days after the end of each
        calendar quarter in each fiscal year of the Parent, the Company shall deliver

        consolidated balance sheet of the Parent as of the end of such calendar quarter,

        audit adjustments) and shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by the
        financial vice president, treasurer, chief financial officer or controller

        end
        of each fiscal year of the Parent, the Company shall deliver to the Agent
        a copy
        of:

      

      (i) a
        consolidated balance sheet of the Parent as of the end of the fiscal year,

        and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except
        for
        changes in application in which such accountants concur); and

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          21

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (ii) consolidated

        until any Lien resulting therefrom attaches to its property and becomes
        enforceable against other creditors, or the failure to pay and discharge
        or
        otherwise satisfy such taxes could not, individually or in the aggregate,
        reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the rights,
        interests or remedies of the Agent or any Lender.

      SECTION
        6.01 General
        Covenants.
        The
        Servicer and the Manager will act in accordance with instructions and
        directions, delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and the Management
        Agreement, from the Company, the Agent and/or the Lenders in connection with
        its
        servicing and managing, as applicable, of the Collateral hereunder and
        thereunder, and will ensure that, at all times when it is dealing with or
        in
        connection with the Collateral in its capacity as Servicer or Manager, as
        applicable, it holds itself out as Servicer or Manager, as applicable, and
        not

      SECTION
        6.02 Appointment
        and Designation.
        

      

      (a) 
        Until
        the Agent gives notice to the Company of a designation of a Person to replace
        the Servicer (the “Successor
        Servicer”)
        upon
        the occurrence and during the continuance of any Servicer Default, or consents
        in writing to the appointment by the Company of a Successor Servicer, Mossimo
        Management has been designated as, and agreed to perform the duties and
        obligations of, the Servicer, pursuant to the terms hereof and in accordance
        with the Management Agreement at all times until the earlier of the Agent’s
        designation of a Successor Servicer (upon the occurrence and during the
        continuance of any Servicer Default) and the delivery by the Agent of its

        Servicer Default, the Agent may at any time (with the approval of the Lenders)
        designate a Successor Servicer to succeed Mossimo Management or any Successor
        Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated
        shall
        agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the
        terms hereof and the Management Agreement. Each of the Company and each Person
        serving in the capacity of a “Servicer” grants to the Agent and any Successor
        Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and all steps in the
        Company’s, or such Person’s name, as applicable, and on behalf of the Company or
        such Person, necessary, appropriate or desirable, in the determination of
        the
        Agent or such Successor Servicer, to perform any of the Servicing
        Functions.

      

      (b) Until
        the
        Agent gives notice to the Company of a designation of a Person to replace
        the
        Manager (the “Successor Manager”) upon the occurrence and during the continuance
        of any Manager Default, or consents in writing to the appointment by the
        Company
        of a Successor Manager, Mossimo Management has been designated as, and agreed
        to
        perform the duties and obligations of, the Manager, pursuant to the terms
        hereof
        and the Management Agreement at all times until the earlier of the Agent’s
        designation of a Successor Manager (upon the occurrence and during the
        continuance of any Manager Default) and the delivery by the Agent of its
        written
        consent to the appointment by the Company of a Successor Manager or the Loan
        Repayment Date. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Manager
        Default, the Agent may at any time (with the approval of the Lenders) designate
        a Successor Manager to succeed Mossimo Management or any Successor Manager,
        on
        the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree
        to
        perform the duties and obligations of the Manager pursuant to the terms hereof.
        Each of the Company and each Person serving in the capacity of a “Manager”
grants to the Agent and any Successor Manager an irrevocable power of attorney
        to take any and all steps in the Company’s, or such Person’s name, as
        applicable, and on behalf of the Company or such Person, necessary, appropriate
        or desirable, in the determination of the Agent’s or such Successor Manager, to
        perform any of the Servicing Functions.

      

      (c) The
        Servicer’s and Manager’s duties and responsibilities shall include those set
        forth in the Management Agreement (or any replacement management agreement
        entered into by a Successor Servicer or Successor Manager) and all the other
        duties specified herein.

      

      (d) On
        the
        date that a Successor Servicer shall have been appointed, all authority and
        power of the Servicer shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer
        (the
“Service
        Transfer”)
        and
        the Company is hereby authorized and empowered (upon the failure of the Servicer
        to cooperate) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Servicer, as
        attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the
        failure of such Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or instruments,
        and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate
        to
        effect the purposes of such Service Transfer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate
        with the Agent, the Company and such Successor Servicer in effecting the
        termination of its responsibilities and rights to conduct servicing hereunder,
        including, without limitation, the transfer to such Successor Servicer of
        all
        authority of the Servicer to perform the Servicing Functions. Upon a Service
        Transfer, the Servicer shall promptly (x) assemble all of its documents,
        instruments and other records (including credit files, licenses, rights,
        copies
        of all relevant computer programs and any necessary licenses for the use
        thereof, related material, computer tapes, disks, cassettes and data) that
        (i)
        evidence or will evidence or record Collateral and (ii) are otherwise necessary
        or desirable to enable a Successor Servicer to effect its duties hereunder,
        with
        or without the participation of the Servicer and (y) deliver or license the
        use
        of all of the foregoing documents, instruments and other records to the
        Successor Servicer at a place designated by the Successor Servicer. In
        recognition of the Servicer’s need to have access to any such documents,
        instruments and other records which may be transferred to such Successor

        the
        Successor Servicer shall reasonably deem necessary to protect its

        power
        of the Manager shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Manager (the
        “Management
        Transfer”)
        and
        the Company is hereby authorized and empowered (upon the failure of the Manager
        to cooperate) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Manager, as
        attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the
        failure of such Manager to execute or deliver such documents or instruments,
        and
        to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
        effect
        the purposes of such Management Transfer. The Manager agrees to cooperate
        with
        the Agent, the Company and such Successor Manager in effecting the termination
        of its responsibilities and rights to conduct servicing hereunder, including,
        without limitation, the transfer to such Successor Manager of all authority

        the
        foregoing documents, instruments and other records to the Successor Manager

        to the Company or otherwise, such Successor Manager shall provide to the
        Manager
        reasonable access to such documents, instruments and other records transferred
        by the Manager to it in connection with any activity arising in the ordinary
        course of the Manager’s business; provided that the Manager shall not disrupt or
        otherwise interfere with the Successor Manager’s use of and access to such
        documents, instruments and other records. 

      

      (h) Upon
        its
        appointment, the Successor Manager shall be the successor in all respects
        to the
        Manager to which it is successor with respect to the functions of the Manager
        hereunder (with such changes as are agreed to between such Successor Manager
        and
        the Company with the consent of, or at the direction of, the Agent) and shall
        be
        subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
        placed on the Manager by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references
        in
        any Transaction Document to the Manager shall be deemed to refer to the
        Successor Manager. The Successor Manager shall perform its duties and
        obligations hereunder with the same standard of care set forth herein for
        the
        performance by the Manager of its duties and obligations hereunder. The
        Successor Manager shall not be liable for, and the Manager shall indemnify
        the
        Successor Manager against costs incurred by the Successor Manager as a result
        of, any acts or omissions of the Manager in breach of its obligations
        hereunder.

      

      (i) All

        in
        effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Successor
        Manager. To the extent that compliance with this Section
        6.02(i)
        shall
        require the Successor Manager to disclose to the Company information of any
        kind
        which the Successor Manager deems to be confidential, the Company shall be
        required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements
        as the Successor Manager shall reasonably deem necessary to protect its
        interests.

        for any reason, the Servicer, or a Person other than the Servicer, in error
        deposits into the Collection Account any funds not constituting Collections
        or
        an amount owing under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, the Servicer,
        upon becoming aware of such deposit, shall promptly advise the Agent in writing,
        accompanied with evidence of the allegedly incorrect payment and the identity
        of
        the party making the payment, and if available, the identity of the party
        to
        whom the payment should have been made, and upon the Agent’s reasonable
        satisfaction that the payment was made in error, the Servicer shall instruct
        the
        Collection Bank to return the amount paid in error to the intended recipient
        or
        the original payer. The Servicer agrees that, if the Agent is not reasonably
        satisfied with the evidence presented to it hereunder, and the Agent requests
        further additional information, then the Servicer shall use its commercially
        reasonable efforts to obtain that information and provide it promptly to
        the
        Agent.

        extent that the Company has been granted such rights under the Mossimo
        Contribution Agreement or in any License, the Company
        and
        Servicer will permit, and the Servicer will permit, the Agent and the Lenders

        premises of any Obligors; provided,
        however,

        Agent (and their respective agents or third party professional advisors)
        shall
        not perform such audits of the Servicer and/or the Manager and/or the Company
        more than once in any calendar year. The Lenders and the Agent (and their
        respective agents and professional advisors) shall treat as confidential
        any
        information obtained during the aforementioned examinations which is not
        already
        publicly known or available; provided,
        however,
        that
        the Lenders or the Agent may disclose such information if required to do
        so by
        law or by any regulatory authority.

      (c) Upon
        the
        appointment of a Successor Servicer, the Agent (and its respective agents
        or
        professional advisors) shall have the right to contact any number of Obligors
        to
        inform such Obligors of the appointment of such Successor Servicer and of
        the

        respective agents or professional advisors) shall, at the Company’s expense,
        have the right under this Agreement to contact any Obligor with respect to
        any
        Collateral in order to procure such information related to such Obligor,
        the
        related License and the other Collateral as the Lenders or the Agent deem
        reasonable under the circumstances. The Servicer and the Company hereby agree
        to
        cooperate with the Agent (and its respective agents or professional advisors)
        in
        connection with any attempt thereby to contact any such Obligor and shall

        consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall
        cease
        to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
        been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall be
        effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by the Agent on the Lenders’
behalf and no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
        or
        impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so
        waived.

        the
        Collateral to the Servicer.  

      

      (b) Neither
        the Servicer nor the Manager, as applicable, shall be required to exercise
        any
        remedies or pursue any legal action against any Obligor or any other third
        party
        unless the Servicer or the Manager, as applicable, is directed in writing
        to do
        so by the Agent and has determined in good faith that the requested action
        is
        not illegal or unlawful and will not subject the Servicer or the Manager,
        as
        applicable, to any risk of personal liability. In the enforcement of any
        rights
        of the Company, the Servicer and/or the Manager shall be entitled to sue
        thereon
        (i) in its own name or (ii) if, but only if, the Company consents in writing
        (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), as agent for the Company.
        The Servicer or the Manager, as applicable, shall notify the Agent of the
        commencement of any such proceedings. In no event shall the Servicer or the
        Manager be entitled to take any action which would make the Company a party
        to
        any litigation without the express prior written consent of the
        Company.

        shall accept any Prepaid Royalty Amount under, any License without the written
        consent of the Agent.

      

      (d) The
        Servicer shall not, in the performance of any Servicing Functions, enter
        into
        any agreement or arrangement with an Affiliate of the Servicer on terms that
        are
        less favorable to the Company than those that could be obtained at the time
        of
        such agreement or arrangement in arm’s-length dealings with a Person that is not
        an Affiliate of the Servicer.

      

      (e) The
        Manager shall not, in the performance of any Management Services, enter into
        any
        agreement or arrangement with an Affiliate of the Manager on terms that are
        less
        favorable to the Company than those that could be obtained at the time of
        such
        agreement or arrangement in arm’s-length dealings with a Person that is not an
        Affiliate of the Manager.

       

      SECTION
        6.13 UCC
        Matters; Protection and Perfection of the Collateral.
        The
Company
        will not
        (i) change its name as it appears in official filings in the state of its
        formation, (ii) change the type of entity that it is, (iii) change its
        organization identification number, if any, issued by its state of incorporation
        or other organization or (iv) change its state of formation unless, prior
        to the
        effective date of any such change, the Company
        notifies
        the Agent of such change in writing and delivers to the Agent such financing
        statements as the Agent may reasonably request to reflect such change, together
        with such other documents and instruments as the Agent may request in connection
        therewith. The
        Company
        agrees
        that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver
        all
        further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Agent
        may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence
        the
        Lenders’ interest in the Collateral acquired hereunder, or to enable the Lenders
        or the Agent to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder.
        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
        will,
        upon the request of the Agent: (i) execute and file such financing or
        continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and
        such
        other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate or as the
        Agent
        may request, and (ii) mark its master data processing records evidencing
        such
        Collateral with a legend acceptable to the Agent, evidencing that the Lenders
        have acquired an interest therein as provided in this Agreement. The
Company
        hereby
        authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements,
        and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of
        the
        Collateral and the proceeds of the foregoing now existing or hereafter arising,
        without the signature of the Company
        where
        permitted by law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement
        or any financing statement covering the Collateral, or any part thereof,
        shall
        be sufficient as a financing statement. The Company
        shall,
        upon the request of the Agent at any time after the occurrence of an Event
        of
        Default and at the Company’s
        expense, notify the Obligors obligated to make any payment on account of
        any
        Collateral of the security interest of the Lenders in the Collateral. If
        the
Company
        fails to
        perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Section
        6.14,
        the
        Agent may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance
        of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Agent incurred
        in
        connection therewith shall be payable by the Company
        upon the
        Agent’s demand therefor. For purposes of enabling the Agent to exercise its
        rights described in the preceding sentence and elsewhere in this Article
        VI,
        the
Company
        and the
        Lenders hereby authorize each of the Agent and its successors and assigns
        to
        take any and all steps in the Company’s
        name
        and on behalf of the Company
        and the
        Lenders necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect
        all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including endorsing the
Company’s
        name
        on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such
        Collateral and the related Licenses and, if any, the related
        guarantees.

        with
        the terms of the Management Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to
        reimbursement for such Servicer Advances from monies in the Collection Account
        as provided in Section 2.04 hereof.

        6.15 Compliance
        with Applicable Law.
        The

        all times comply in all material respects with all requirements of applicable
        federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder in the conduct
        of
        their business.

        7.01(a)
        above,
        the Early Amortization Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred
        automatically upon the occurrence of such event. Upon any such declaration
        or
        automatic occurrence, (i) at the option of the Lenders in their sole discretion,
        the Lenders may declare the Loan made to the Company hereunder and all interest
        and all Fees accrued on such Loan and any other Obligations to be immediately
        due and payable (and the Company shall pay such Loan and all such amounts
        and
        Obligations immediately), and (ii) at the option of the Lenders in their
        sole
        discretion, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may direct the Obligors
        to make
        all payments with respect to the Collateral directly to the Agent, the Lenders
        or any lockbox or account established by any of such parties. In addition,
        upon
        any such declaration or upon any such automatic occurrence, the Agent and
        the
        Lenders shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this
        Agreement or otherwise, all other rights and remedies provided under the
        UCC of
        the applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall
        be
        cumulative. If any Event of Default shall have occurred, the interest rate
        applicable to the Loans shall be increased in accordance with Section
        2.02,
        effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, and
        shall
        remain at such increased rate for so long as such Event of Default is
        continuing.

       

      SECTION
        7.02 Additional
        Remedies of the Agent. (a)
        If, (i)
        upon the Lenders’ declaration that the Loan made to the Company hereunder is
        immediately due and payable pursuant to Section
        7.01,
        or (ii)
        on the Facility Termination Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount
        of
        the Loan, all accrued Fees and interest and any other Obligations are not
        immediately paid in full, then the Agent, in addition to all other rights
        specified hereunder, shall have the right, in its own name and as agent for
        the
        Lenders, to immediately sell in a commercially reasonable manner, in a
        recognized market (if one exists) at such price or prices as the Agent may
        reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all of the Collateral and apply the
        proceeds thereof to the Obligations.

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          34

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (b) The
        parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral
        on a
        particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or
        in the
        same manner because the market for such Collateral may not be liquid.
        Accordingly, the Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner
        of
        liquidating any Collateral, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the
        Agent to liquidate any Collateral on the date the Lenders declare the Loans
        made
        to the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to
Section
        7.01
        or to
        liquidate all Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business
        Day.

      

      (c) Any
        amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral pursuant
        to this
Section
        7.02
        in
        excess of the Obligations will be returned to the Company, its successors
        or
        assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or
        as a
        court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

      

      (d) The
        Agent
        and the Lenders shall have, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided
        herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws
        (including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any
        applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right
        to
        offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the
        Lenders at law, in equity or under any other agreement between the Lenders
        and
        the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent,
        without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
        advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred
        to below) to or upon the Company or any other Person (all and each of which
        demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in
        such
        circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
        Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign,
        give
        options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or
        any
        part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels
        at
        public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of
        the Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it
        may
        deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit
        or
        for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk. The Agent or any
        Lender
        shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent
        permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole
        or
        any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption
        in
        the Company, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. To the
        extent
        permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages and demands
        it may acquire against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise
        by
        them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other
        disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be
        deemed
        reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other
        disposition.

      

      (e) Without
        limiting any obligation of the Servicer or the Manager hereunder or any other
        remedy of the Agent or any Lender, the Company confirms and agrees that the
        Agent (or any designee thereof, including the Servicer or the Manager),
        following an Event of Default or an Early Amortization Event, shall, at its
        option, have the sole right to enforce the Company’s rights and remedies under
        each Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of the Agent,
        the
        Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations
        of the Company under any such Assigned Document. 

      

      (f) Except
        as
        otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by
        this
        Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall
        be
        cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission
        to
        exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall
        be
        deemed to be a waiver of any Early Amortization Event or Event of
        Default.

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          35

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      (g) The
        Agent
        shall have the right, in its own name and as agent for the Lenders, to take
        all
        actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce
        its
        rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights
        and
        remedies, of the Lenders (including the institution and prosecution of all
        judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs
        of
        claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided
        in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive
        of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
        to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy
        shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of
        any
        Event of Default.

        or
        at any subsequent time;

      

      (v) any
        dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy
        of an
        Obligor) with respect to the payment of any amounts owing with respect to
        any
        Collateral (including a defense based on such License relating to such

        Collateral;

      

      (xi) any
        failure by the Company to give reasonably equivalent value to the Transferor
        in
        consideration for the transfer by the Transferor to the Company of any Asset
        or

        amounts
        to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Agent
        of
        such amounts). The Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request

        shall
        submit to the Company a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the

        after the receipt by the Agent of such amounts). The Agent, on behalf of
        any
        Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section

        indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders against all liabilities
        that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by
        or
        asserted against the Agent or any of its Related Persons or (ii) that is,

        opinion of the Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Transaction Document
        or any
        Applicable Law.

        The
        Agent may, without incurring any liability hereunder, (i) treat any Lender

      (b)
        None
        of
        the Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or
        omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Transaction
        Document, and each Lender and the Company hereby waive and shall not assert
        any
        right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of
        liabilities resulting primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct

        foregoing, the Agent:

       

      (i) shall
        not
        be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken

        not
        have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance
        of
        any provision of any Transaction Document, whether any condition set forth
        in
        any Transaction Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition
        of the Company, the Servicer, the Manager or the Transferor or as to the
        existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default
        or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of
        such
        occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from the Company
        or
        any Lender describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice
        of default” (in which case the Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt
        to all Lenders);

      

      and,
        for
        each of the items set forth in clauses
        (i)
        through

        each Lender and the Company hereby waives and agrees not to assert any right,

        thereon.

       

      SECTION

        becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights
        and
        powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities

        any other Lender and the terms “Lender” and “Required Lender” and any similar
        terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction
        Document, include the Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its

        or
        in part because such document was transmitted by the Agent or any of its
        Related
        Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition
        and affairs of the Company and make and continue to make its own credit
        decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any
        action
        under, any Transaction Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated
        in any Transaction Document, in each case based on such documents and

        Each
        Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent and each of its Related Persons (to
        the
        extent not reimbursed by the Company, the Servicer or the Manager) promptly
        upon
        demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share with respect to the Loan of any costs
        and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal
        and
        other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, the
        Company, the Servicer or the Manager) that may be incurred by the Agent or
        any
        of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication,
        execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or
        enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy,
        restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal

        (to
        the extent not reimbursed by any the Company, the Servicer or the Manager),
        from
        and against such Lender’s aggregate Pro Rata Share of the Obligations (including
        taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup
        withholding on payments made to on or for the account of any Lender) that
        may be
        imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or any of its Related
        Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or
        as a
        result of any Transaction Document or any other act, event or transaction
        related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case,
        any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent or any of its Related

        however,
        that no
        Lender shall be liable to the Agent or any of its Related Persons to the
        extent
        such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful
        misconduct of the Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as
        determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable
        judgment or order.

       

      SECTION
        9.09 Resignation
        of Agent. (a)
        The

        the
        Lenders and the Company, effective on the date that is thirty (30) days after
        receipt by the Company of such notice or such later date as set forth in
        such
        notice. If the Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall
        have
        the right to appoint a successor Agent. If, within thirty (30) days after
        the
        retiring Agent having given notice of resignation, no successor Agent has
        been
        appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then
        the

        among the Lenders. Each appointment under this clause
        (a)
        shall be

        immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged
        from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents, (ii) the
        Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent until a
        successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii)
        the
        retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of
        any
        provision of any Transaction Document other than with respect to any actions
        taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such
        Agent had been, validly acting as Agent under the Transaction Documents and
        (iv)
        subject to its rights under Section 9.3,
        the
        retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign
        to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Transaction Documents.
        Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent,
        a
        successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights,
        powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Transaction

      SECTION

        Effect; Assignability; Multiple Lenders.
        (a)
        This
        Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company,
        the
        Servicer, the Manager, the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors
        and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the Lenders’ rights and obligations
        hereunder and interest herein shall be assignable in whole or in part (including
        by way of the sale of participation interests therein) by the Lenders and
        their
        successors and assigns; provided,
        however,
        (i)
        MLMCI shall remain the Agent hereunder after any such assignment, and (ii)
        such
        assignment is to an Affiliate of MLMCI or, with the consent of the Company
        (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required
        at
        any time an Event of Default shall have occurred) to any other Person that
        is
        not an Affiliate of MLMCI. Neither the Company, the Servicer nor the Manager
        may
        assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein
        without the prior written consent of the Lenders and the Agent. The parties
        to
        each assignment or participation made pursuant to this Section
        10.04
        shall
        execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in its
        books
        and records, an assignment and acceptance agreement (an “Assignment
        and Acceptance”)
        or a
        participation agreement or other transfer instrument reasonably satisfactory
        in
        form and substance to the Agent and the Company. Each such assignment or
        participation shall be effective as of the date specified in the applicable
        Assignment and Acceptance or other agreement or instrument only after the
        execution, delivery, acceptance and recording thereof as described in the
        preceding sentence. The Agent shall notify the Company of any assignment
        or
        participation thereof made pursuant to this Section
        10.04.
        The
        Lenders may, in connection with any assignment or participation or any proposed
        assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
        10.04,
        disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant
        any
        information relating to the Company and the Collateral furnished to the Lenders
        by or on behalf of the Company, the Servicer or the Manager; provided,
        however,
        that no
        Lender shall disclose any such information until it has obtained an agreement
        from such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant that
        it
        shall treat as confidential (under terms mutually satisfactory to the Agent
        and
        such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant) any
        information obtained which is not already publicly known or
        available.

      (b) Whenever
        the term “Lender” or “Lenders” is used herein, it shall mean MLMCI and/or any
        other Person which shall have executed an Assignment and Acceptance;
provided,
        however,
        that
        each such party shall have a pro rata share of the rights and obligations
        of the
        Lenders hereunder in such percentage equal to the Loan Commitment of such
        party.
        Unless otherwise specified herein, any right at any time of the Lenders to
        enforce any remedy, or to consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification
        hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, shall be exercised by
        the
        Agent only upon direction by such parties that hold a majority of the Loan
        Commitments at such time.

      

      (c) Subject
        to Section

    GUARANTY

    

    I. RECITALS

    

    Reference
      is made to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 31,
      2006
      (as the same may be amended, restated, modified or supplemented and in effect
      from time to time, the "Loan Agreement") among Mossimo Holdings LLC, a Delaware
      limited liability company ("Company"), Mossimo Management LLC, as Servicer,
      the
      Lenders from time to time party to the Loan Agreement and MERRILL LYNCH MORTGAGE
      CAPITAL INC., in its capacity as Agent under the Loan Agreement ("Agent").
      As
      one of the conditions to making the Loan and other financial accommodations
      available to Company under the Loan Agreement, the Lenders have required that
      the undersigned ("Guarantor"), guaranty the obligations of Company to Agent
      and
      the Lenders. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall
      have
      the respective meanings provided for in the Loan Agreement.

    

    II. GUARANTY

    

    Therefore,
      for value received, and in consideration of any loan, advance or financial
      accommodation of any kind whatsoever heretofore, now or hereafter made, given
      or
      granted to Company under the Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document
      by
      Agent or any Lender, Guarantor hereby unconditionally guaranties the full and
      prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of
      acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all of the
      Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor guarantees the payment
      of
      all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred
      by Agent or any Lender in attempting to collect any amount due under this
      Guaranty or in prosecuting any action against Company in any way related to
      the
      Transaction Documents, Guarantor with respect to this Guaranty or any other
      guarantor of all or part of the Obligations and all interest, fees, costs and
      expenses owing to Agent or any Lender after the commencement of bankruptcy
      proceedings with respect to Company, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of
      all
      or part of the Obligations (whether or not the same may be collected while
      such
      proceedings are pending).

    

    Guarantor
      hereby agrees that this Guaranty is a present and continuing guaranty of payment
      and not of collection and that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
      irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability of the Obligations or any
      part thereof, or of any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) the waiver or consent
      by Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any Transaction
      Document, or any amendment, modification or other change with respect to any
      Transaction Document, (iii) any merger or consolidation of Company, Guarantor
      or
      any other guarantor of all or part of the Obligations into or with any Person
      or
      any change in the ownership of the equity of Company, Guarantor or any other
      guarantor of all or part of the Obligations, (iv) any dissolution of Guarantor
      or any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or similar
      proceedings with respect to Company, Guarantor or any other guarantor of all
      or
      part of the Obligations, (v) any action or inaction on the part of Agent or
      any
      Lender, including without limitation the absence of any attempt to collect
      the
      Obligations from Company, Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or part of
      the
      Obligations or other action to enforce the same or the failure by Agent to
      take
      any steps to perfect and maintain its Lien on, or to preserve its rights to,
      any
      security or collateral for the Obligations, (vi) Agent's election, in any
      proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of
      the
      application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) any borrowing
      or
      grant of a Lien by Company, Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or part
      of
      the Obligations, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy
      Code, (viii) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of
      all
      or any portion of Agent's or any Lender's claims for repayment of the
      Obligations, (ix) Agent's or any Lender's inability to enforce the Obligations
      of Company as a result of the automatic stay provisions under Section 362 of
      the
      Bankruptcy Code, or (x) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute
      a legal or equitable discharge or defense of Company, Guarantor or any other
      guarantor of all or part of the Obligations (other than the irrevocable payment
      in full in cash of the Obligations). 

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

    

    Notwithstanding
      any provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, it is intended that this
      Guaranty not constitute a "Fraudulent Conveyance" (as defined below).
      Consequently, Guarantor agrees that if this Guaranty would, but for the
      application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, this Guaranty
      shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause
      this Guaranty to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Guaranty shall
      automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times.
      For purposes hereof, "Fraudulent Conveyance" means a fraudulent conveyance
      or
      fraudulent transfer under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent
      conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable
      fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state,
      nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.

    

    No
      payment made by or for the account or benefit of Guarantor (including, without
      limitation, (i) a payment made by Company in respect of the Obligations, (ii)
      a
      payment made by any Person under any other guaranty of the Obligations or (iii)
      a payment made by means of set-off or other application of funds by Agent or
      any
      Lender) pursuant to this Guaranty shall entitle Guarantor, by subrogation or
      otherwise, to any payment by Company or from or out of any property of Company,
      and Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy against Company or any
      property of Company including, without limitation, any right of contribution
      or
      reimbursement by reason of any performance by Guarantor under this Guaranty,
      until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Loan
      Agreement has been terminated.

    

    Guarantor
      hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with
      a
      court in the event of any bankruptcy proceeding (or other insolvency proceeding)
      of Company, protest or notice with respect to the Obligations and all demands
      whatsoever, and covenants that this Guaranty will not be discharged, except
      by
      complete and irrevocable payment and performance of the obligations and
      liabilities contained herein. No notice to Guarantor or any other party shall
      be
      required for Agent, on behalf of Agent or any Lender, to make demand hereunder.
      Such demand shall constitute a mature and liquidated claim against Guarantor.
      Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and
      following the Agent or the Lenders declaring that the Loan and all interest
      and
      all Fees accrued on the Loan and any other Obligations to be immediately due
      and
      payable (which such declaration shall be automatic following an Event of Default
      described in Section 7.0l of the Loan Agreement), Agent may, at its sole
      election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against Guarantor to
      collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Obligations, without
      first proceeding against Company, any other Person or any security or collateral
      for the Obligations. Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the

    Agent
      and
      Lenders are hereby authorized, without notice or demand to Guarantor and without
      affecting or impairing the liability of Guarantor hereunder, to, from time
      to
      time, (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment
      of,
      or other terms relating to, the Obligations or otherwise modify, amend or change
      the terms of any Transaction Document (other than this Guaranty, but any change
      to this Guaranty shall not affect the obligations of Guarantor under this
      Guaranty except as otherwise agreed to in such amendment to this Guaranty),
      (ii)
      accept partial payments on the Obligations, (iii) take and hold collateral
      for
      the payment of the Obligations, or for the payment of this Guaranty, or for
      the
      payment of any other guaranties of the Obligations or other liabilities of
      Company, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such collateral, (iv)
      apply such collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in
      their
      sole discretion they may determine and (v) settle, release, compromise, collect
      or otherwise liquidate the Obligations and any collateral therefor in any
      manner.

    

    At
      any
      time after maturity of the Obligations, Agent and Lenders may, in their sole
      discretion, without notice to any Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance
      of
      any collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward payment
      of
      the Obligations (i) any indebtedness due or to become due from Agent or any
      Lender to Guarantor and (ii) any moneys, credits or other property belonging
      to
      Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of Agent or any
      Lender or any Affiliates thereof, whether for deposit or otherwise.

    

    Guarantor
      hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial
      condition of Company, and any and all endorsers and other guarantors of all
      or
      any part of the Obligations and of all other circumstances bearing upon the
      risk
      of nonpayment of the Obligations or any part thereof that diligent inquiry
      would
      reveal, and Guarantor hereby agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender shall
      have
      any duty to advise Guarantor of information known to such Agent or Lender
      regarding such condition or any such circumstances. Guarantor hereby
      acknowledges familiarity with Company's financial condition and that it has
      not
      relied on any statements by Agent or any Lender in obtaining such information.
      In the event Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any
      time
      or from time to time to provide any such information to Guarantor, neither
      Agent
      nor any Lender shall be under any obligation (i) to undertake any investigation
      with respect thereto, (ii) to disclose any information which, pursuant to
      accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, Agent or such Lender wishes
      to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of
      such information, or any other information, to Guarantor.

    Guarantor
      consents and agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any
      obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Guarantor or against or in payment
      of any or all of the Obligations. Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent
      that Company makes a payment or payments to Agent or any Lender, or Agent or
      any
      Lender receives any proceeds of Collateral, which payment or payments or any
      part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
      preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to Company, its estate,
      trustee, receiver or any other party, including Guarantor, under any Applicable
      Law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the
      Obligations or the part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by
      such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of
      the
      date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred, and this Guaranty
      shall continue to be in existence and in full force and effect, irrespective
      of
      whether any evidence of indebtedness has been surrendered or
      cancelled.

    

    Guarantor
      also waives all set-offs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for
      performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices
      of
      dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty. Guarantor further waives
      all notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional
      indebtedness, arising either from additional loans extended to Company or
      otherwise, and also waives all notices that the principal amount, or any portion
      thereof, or any interest under or on any Transaction Document is due, notices
      of
      any and all proceedings to collect from the maker, any endorser or any other
      guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, or from anyone else, and,
      to
      the extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other
      handling of any security or collateral given to Agent to secure payment of
      the
      Obligations.

      not violate, conflict with or cause a breach or a default under any provision
      of
      any Applicable Law, any of its Organizational Documents or any agreement,
      binding upon it and (iii) this Guaranty constitutes a valid and binding
      agreement of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its
      respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
      bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Applicable Laws relating to the
      enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.
      

    

    Guarantor
      will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create,
      incur, assume, guarantee or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly
      liable with respect to, any Debt, except for: (i) Debt existing on the Closing
      Date; (ii) Debt incurred in connection with the Transaction Documents; (iii)
      Debt incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the
      acquisition of the capital stock or assets of another Person or in connection
      with a merger with another Person of which the Guarantor or Subsidiary is the
      surviving entity; and (iv) Debt (other than the Debt described in clauses (ii)
      and (iii) above) in an amount such that after giving effect to the incurrence
      thereof the aggregate outstanding Debt of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries would

      however,
      that in
      the event that the Guarantor sells not less than $75,000,000 of its capital
      stock following the Closing Date, the foregoing limitation on the incurrence
      of
      additional Debt in excess of $70,000,000 shall be eliminated and the Guarantor
      and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to incur additional Debt in their sole

    No
      delay
      on the part of Agent in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as
      a
      waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Agent of any right or
      remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof; nor shall any modification
      or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon Agent or
      Lenders, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered
      on
      Agent's behalf by an authorized officer or agent of Agent. Agent's or any
      Lender's failure at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance
      Guarantor of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained
      in this Guaranty shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent and
      Lenders at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof
      and
      such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge
      of
      Agent or any Lender, or its respective agents, officers or employees, unless
      such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing signed by an officer or
      agent of Agent, and directed Guarantor specifying such waiver. No failure or
      delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under
      this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
      exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
      of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
      shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
      law.

      Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its respective successors and
      assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their respective
