to a percentage of the Maximum Line (or the reduction, as the case may be) as follows: (i) one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) if the termination or reduction occurs after December 31, 2002 but on or before December 31, 2003; and (ii) one percent
(1%) if the termination or reduction occurs after December 31, 2003. 
 
(b) Waiver of Termination Fees. The Borrower will not be required to pay the termination and line reduction fees otherwise due under this Section 2.7 if such termination or line reduction
is made because of increased cash flow generated from the Borrower’s operations or refinancing by an Affiliate of the Lender. 
 
Section 2.8 Mandatory Prepayment. Without notice or demand, if the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances shall at
any time exceed the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Revolving Advances to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. Any payment received by the Lender under this Section 2.8 or under Section 2.7 may be applied to the
Obligations, in such order and in such amounts as the Lender, in its discretion, may from time to time determine. 
 
Section 2.9 Payment. All payments to the Lender shall be made in immediately available funds and shall be applied to the
Obligations two (2) Banking Days after receipt by the Lender. The Lender may hold all payments not constituting immediately available funds for three (3) additional Banking Days before applying them to the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in
Section 2.1, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender, in its discretion at any time or from time to time without the Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 would not be satisfied, to make a Revolving Advance in
an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations from time to time due and payable. 
 
Section 2.10 Payment on Non-Banking Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding
Banking Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest on the Revolving Advances or the fees hereunder, as the case may be. 
 
Section 2.11 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of Revolving Advances only as a
source of working capital to fulfill Export Orders and to finance the manufacture, production or purchase and subsequent export sale of Items. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall not use any proceeds of Revolving
Advances for any purpose prohibited by the Borrower Agreement or (i) to service or repay any of Borrower’s pre-existing or future indebtedness unrelated to the Credit Facility, (ii) to acquire fixed assets or capital goods for use in the
Borrower’s business, (iii) to acquire, equip or rent commercial space 

 

19 

outside the United States, (iv) to employ non-United States citizens or non-U.S. permanent residents located outside of the United States, or
(v) to serve as a retainage or warranty bond. 
 
Section 2.12 Liability Records. The Lender may maintain from time to time, at its discretion, liability records as to the Obligations. All entries made on any such record shall be presumed correct absent manifest error or
unless the Borrower establishes the contrary. Upon the Lender’s demand, the Borrower will admit and certify in writing the exact principal balance of the Obligations that the Borrower then asserts to be outstanding. Any billing statement or
accounting rendered by the Lender shall be conclusive and fully binding on the Borrower unless the Borrower gives the Lender specific written notice of exception within 30 days after receipt absent manifest error. 
 
Section 2.13 Automatic Renewal. Unless terminated (a)
by the Lender (i) by giving written notice to the Borrower no less than ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date or (ii) in accordance with Section 8.2, or (b) by the Borrower (i) by giving written notice to the Lender no less than ninety (90)
days prior to the Maturity Date or (ii) in accordance with Section 2.6, the Credit Facility shall remain in effect until the Original Maturity Date, and, thereafter, shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods; provided, however that
the Credit Facility shall not renew unless all applicable conditions set forth in the rules and regulations of Eximbank governing the Working Capital Guaranty Program for such renewal are satisfied and the Eximbank guaranty with respect to the
Credit Facility pursuant to the Master Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect for the renewal term. “Maturity Date” shall initially mean the Original Maturity Date; provided, however, that if at any time the Credit Facility has
been automatically renewed, “Maturity Date” shall mean the one-year anniversary of the date that was formerly the Maturity Date. 
 
Section 2.14 Facility Subject to Eximbank Rules. The Borrower acknowledges that the Lender is willing to make the Credit Facility
available to the Borrower because the Eximbank is willing to guaranty payment of a significant portion of the Obligations pursuant to the Master Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency among the Loan Documents and the Master
Guaranty or related documents and the rules and regulations of the Eximbank governing the Working Capital Guaranty Program, the provision that is the more stringent on the Borrower shall control. Compliance with any such applicable rule or
regulation shall constitute an additional covenant of the Borrower incorporated herein by reference. 
 
ARTICLE III 
 
Security Interest; Occupancy; Setoff 
 
Section 3.1 Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Lender a security interest (collectively referred to as the “Security Interest”) in the
Collateral, as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations. Upon request by the Lender, the Borrower will grant the Lender a security interest in all commercial tort claims it may have against any Person. 
 
Section 3.2 Notification of Account Debtors and Other
Obligors. The Lender may at any time during a Default Period notify any account debtor or other person obligated to pay the 

 

20 

amount due that such right to payment has been assigned or transferred to the Lender for security and shall be paid directly to the Lender.
The Borrower will join in giving such notice if the Lender so requests. At any time after the Borrower or the Lender gives such notice to an account debtor or other obligor, the Lender may, but need not, in the Lender’s name or in the
Borrower’s name, (a) demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such right to payment, or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or
otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend or change the obligations (including collateral obligations) of any such account debtor or other obligor; and (b) as the Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact, notify the United States Postal Service to
change the address for delivery of the Borrower’s mail to any address designated by the Lender, otherwise intercept the Borrower’s mail, and receive, open and dispose of the Borrower’s mail, applying all Collateral as permitted under
this Agreement and holding all other mail for the Borrower’s account or forwarding such mail to the Borrower’s last known address. 
 
Section 3.3 Assignment of Insurance. As additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, the Borrower hereby
assigns to the Lender any and all monies (including, without limitation, proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of the Borrower with respect to, any and all policies of insurance now
or at any time hereafter covering the Collateral or any evidence thereof or any business records or valuable papers pertaining thereto, and the Borrower hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay all such monies directly to the Lender. At
any time, whether or not a Default Period then exists, the Lender may (but need not), in the Lender’s name or in the Borrower’s name, execute and deliver proof of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks and other instruments
representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy. 
 
Section 3.4 Occupancy. 
 
(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably grants to the Lender the right to take possession of the Premises at any time during a
Default Period. 
 
(b) The Lender
may use the Premises only to hold, process, manufacture, sell, use, store, liquidate, realize upon or otherwise dispose of goods that are Collateral and for other purposes that the Lender may in good faith deem to be related or incidental purposes.

 
(c) The Lender’s right to
hold the Premises shall cease and terminate upon the earlier of (i) payment in full and discharge of all Obligations and termination of the Commitments, and (ii) final sale or disposition of all goods constituting Collateral and delivery of all such
goods to purchasers. 
 
(d) The
Lender shall not be obligated to pay or account for any rent or other compensation for the possession, occupancy or use of any of the Premises; provided, however, that if the Lender does pay or account for any rent or other compensation for the
possession, occupancy or use of any of the Premises, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender promptly for the full amount thereof. In addition, the Borrower will pay, or reimburse the Lender for, all taxes, fees, duties, imposts, charges and
expenses at any 

 

21 

	 	 
time incurred by or imposed upon the Lender by reason of the execution, delivery, existence, recordation, performance or enforcement of this
Agreement or the provisions of this Section 3.4. 

 
Section 3.5 License. The Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all trademarks, franchises, trade names, copyrights and patents of the
Borrower for the purpose of selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral during any Default Period. 
 
Section 3.6 Financing Statement. The Borrower authorizes the Lender to file from time to time where permitted by law, such
financing statements against the Collateral described as “all personal property” as the Lender deems necessary or useful to perfect the Security Interest. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing
statements signed by the Borrower is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed as a financing statement in any state to perfect the security interests granted hereby. For this purpose, the following information is set forth:

that the Lender may at any time or from time to time, at its sole discretion and without demand and without notice to anyone, setoff any liability owed to the Borrower by the Lender, whether or not due, against any Obligation, whether or not due. In
addition, each other Person holding a participating interest in any Obligations shall have the right to appropriate or setoff any deposit or other liability then owed by such Person to the Borrower, whether or not due, and apply the same to the
payment of said participating interest, as fully as if such Person had lent directly to the Borrower the amount of such participating interest.

Section 5.1 Corporate Existence and Power; Name; Chief Executive Office; Inventory and Equipment Locations; Tax Identification Number. The Borrower is a corporation, duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly licensed or qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions where the character of the property owned or leased or the nature of the business transacted by it
makes such licensing or qualification necessary. The Borrower has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties and to execute and deliver, and to perform all of its obligations under, the
Loan Documents. During its existence, the Borrower has done business solely under the names set forth in Schedule 5.1 hereto. The Borrower’s chief executive office and principal place of business is located at the address set forth in Schedule

agreement or any other material agreement, lease or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected; or (v) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any mortgage, deed of trust,
pledge, lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance of any nature (other than the Security Interest) upon or with respect to any of the properties now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower. 
 

25 

 
Section 5.3
Legal Agreements. This Agreement constitutes and, upon due execution by the Borrower, the other Loan Documents will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their
respective terms. 
 
Section 5.4
Subsidiaries. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries. 
 
Section 5.5 Financial Condition; No Adverse Change. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lender its audited financial statements for its fiscal year ended August 31, 2002 and its unaudited financial statements for the
month ended December 31, 2002 and those statements fairly present in all material respects the Borrower’s financial condition on the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended and were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Since the date of the most recent financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the Borrower’s business, properties or condition (financial or otherwise).

 
Section 5.6 Litigation. There are no
actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the properties of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates before any court or governmental department,
commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which, if determined adversely to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, properties or operations of the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates. 
 
Section 5.7
Regulation U. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of
the proceeds of any Revolving Advance will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. 
 
Section 5.8 Taxes. The Borrower and its Affiliates have paid or caused to be paid to the proper
authorities when due all federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld by each of them. The Borrower and its Affiliates have filed all federal, state and local tax returns which to the knowledge of the officers of the Borrower or any
Affiliate, as the case may be, are required to be filed, and the Borrower and its Affiliates have paid or caused to be paid to the respective taxing authorities all taxes as shown on said returns or on any assessment received by any of them to the
extent such taxes have become due other than any tax the amount of which, applicability, or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (x) for which proper reserves have been made, (y) there is no risk of forfeiture of
Collateral during the pendency of such action, and (z) any lien arising as a result of such tax is at all times junior in priority to the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. 
 
Section 5.9 Titles and Liens. The Borrower has good and indefeasible title to the Real Property, all
Collateral described in the collateral reports provided to the Lender and all other Collateral, properties and assets reflected in the latest financial statements referred to in Section 5.5 and all proceeds thereof, free and clear of all mortgages,
security interests, liens and encumbrances, except for Permitted Liens. No financing statement naming the Borrower as debtor is on file in any office except to perfect only Permitted Liens. Upon the proper filing of a 

 

26 

UCC financing statements in Delaware describing the Collateral (other than fixtures), and a fixture financing statement in Dallas County,
Texas, the Lender’s Security Interest in the Collateral will constitute a valid, perfected security interest in the Collateral capable of being perfected by filing, prior to all other security interests of any other Person except for the
security interest of WFBCI in Collateral not constituting Export Collateral. 
 
Section 5.10 Plans. Except as disclosed to the Lender in writing prior to the date hereof, neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates maintains or has maintained any Plan. Neither the
Borrower nor any Affiliate has received any notice or has any knowledge to the effect that it is not in compliance with any of the material requirements of ERISA. No Reportable Event or other fact or circumstance which may have an adverse effect on

(a) Any accumulated funding deficiency within the meaning of ERISA; or 
 
(b) Any liability or knows of any fact or
circumstances which could result in any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or any participant in connection with any Plan (other than accrued benefits which or which may
become payable to participants or beneficiaries of any such Plan). 
 
Section 5.11 Default. The Borrower is in compliance with all provisions of all agreements, instruments, decrees and orders to which it is a party or by which it or its property is bound or affected, the breach or
default of which could have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s financial condition, properties or operations. 
 
Section 5.12 Environmental Matters. 
 
(a) To the Borrower’s best knowledge, there are not present in, on or under the Premises any Hazardous Substances in
such form or quantity as to create any liability or obligation for either the Borrower or the Lender under common law of any jurisdiction or under any Environmental Law, and no Hazardous Substances have ever been stored, buried, spilled, leaked,
discharged, emitted or released in, on or under the Premises in such a way as to create any such liability. 
 
(b) To the Borrower’s best knowledge, the Borrower has not disposed of Hazardous Substances in such a manner as to
create any liability under any Environmental Law, except for liabilities in the aggregate amount of less than $25,000 and with respect to which no liens have attached to any of the Collateral. 
 
(c) There are not and there never have been
any requests, claims, notices, investigations, demands, administrative proceedings, hearings or litigation, relating in any way to the Premises or the Borrower, alleging liability under, violation of, or noncompliance with any Environmental Law or
any license, permit or other authorization issued pursuant thereto. To the Borrower’s best knowledge, no such matter is threatened or impending. 
 

27 

 
(d) To the Borrower’s best knowledge, the Borrower’s businesses are and have in the past always been conducted in compliance in all material respects with all Environmental Laws and all licenses, permits and other
authorizations required pursuant to any Environmental Law and necessary for the lawful and efficient operation of such businesses are in the Borrower’s possession and are in full force and effect. No permit required under any Environmental Law
is scheduled to expire within 12 months for which renewal is not expected to be obtained and there is no threat that any such permit will be withdrawn, terminated, limited or materially changed. 
 
(e) To the Borrower’s best knowledge,
the Premises are not and never have been listed on the National Priorities List, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information System or any similar federal, state or local list, schedule, log, inventory or

faith opinion as to such projections, valuations and proforma condition and results. 
 
Section 5.14 Financing Statements. The Borrower has provided to the Lender signed financing statements sufficient when filed to perfect the Security Interest and the other security interests
created by the Security Documents. When such financing statements are filed in the offices noted therein, the Lender will have a valid and perfected security interest in all Collateral and all other collateral described in the Security Documents
which is capable of being perfected by filing financing statements. None of the Collateral or other collateral covered by the Security Documents is or will become a fixture on real estate, unless a sufficient fixture filing is in effect with respect
thereto. 
 
Section 5.15 Rights to Payment.
Each right to payment and each Instrument, document, Chattel Paper and other agreement constituting or evidencing Collateral or other collateral covered by the Security Documents is (or, in the case of all future Collateral or such other collateral,
will be when arising or issued) the valid, genuine and legally enforceable obligation, subject to no defense, setoff or counterclaim, of the account debtor or other obligor named therein or in the Borrower’s records pertaining thereto as being
obligated to pay such obligation.

proceedings under any law of any jurisdiction.

made or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. For the purposes hereof, (1) ”Principals” shall mean any officer, director, owner, partner, key employee, or other person with primary management or supervisory

law), and further requiring such Person to cooperate with the Borrower, without any additional compensation, in connection with securing and enforcing any Intellectual Property therein; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with
respect to employees and subcontractors whose job descriptions are of the type such that no such assignments are reasonably foreseeable.

Borrower shall be liable as an endorser on all items deposited in the Collateral Account or any Alternate Collateral Account, whether or not in fact endorsed by the Borrower. 
 
(f) For the proceeds of collection on any Account deposited in the Collateral Account or any
Alternate Collateral Account, a portion of which Account constitutes Export Collateral supporting the Revolving Advances and a portion of which constitutes Domestic Collateral (as defined in the WFBCI Credit Agreement) supporting the WFBCI

Lender’s option, in the Lender’s name) and may, but need not, take any and all other actions which the Lender may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without limitation, the payment of taxes, the

an interest) with the right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf of the Borrower during any Default Period any and all instruments, documents, assignments,

ARTICLE IX

 
Miscellaneous

or delay by the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or

Section 9.2 Amendments, Etc. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any
Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom or any release of a Security Interest shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 
Section 9.3 Addresses for Notices, Etc. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for under the Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be (a) personally delivered, (b) sent by first class United States mail, (c) sent by

46 

delivered by telecopy, except that notices or requests to the Lender pursuant to any of the provisions of Article II shall not be effective

Section 9.4 Further Documents. The
Borrower will from time to time execute and deliver or endorse any and all instruments, documents, conveyances, assignments, security agreements, financing statements and other agreements and writings that the Lender may reasonably request in order
to secure, protect, perfect or enforce the Security Interest or the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents (but any failure to request or assure that the Borrower executes, delivers or endorses any such item shall not affect or impair the
validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Loan Documents and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed, delivered or endorsed in a similar context or on a prior occasion). 
 
Section 9.5 Collateral. This Agreement does not
contemplate a sale of accounts, contract rights or Chattel Paper, and, as provided by law, the Borrower is entitled to any surplus and shall remain liable for any deficiency. The Lender’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its
possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if it exercises reasonable care in physically keeping such Collateral, or in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third person, exercises reasonable care in
the selection of the bailee or other third person, and the Lender need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. The Lender shall not be obligated to preserve any rights the Borrower may have against prior parties, to
realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order or to apply any cash proceeds of the Collateral in any particular order of application. 
 
Section 9.6 Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses, including (without limitation)
reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Lender in connection with the Obligations, this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and any other document or agreement related hereto or thereto, and the transactions contemplated hereby, including
without limitation all such costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, amendment, administration, performance, collection and enforcement of the Obligations and all such documents and agreements and
the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interest.

AND HOLD HARMLESS THE LENDER, AND ANY OF ITS PARTICIPANTS, PARENT CORPORATIONS, SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS, AFFILIATED CORPORATIONS, SUCCESSOR CORPORATIONS, AND ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS OF

provisions hereof.
