(commencing with calendar year 2004), the Company will provide Textron
Financial with copies of the Dealer program materials it intends to use in such
calendar year (including, without limitation, all interest rate subvention
programs) reasonably in advance of its actual use of such materials. Textron
Financial will have the opportunity to approve or object to such Dealer program
materials within five (5) business days after its receipt thereof; if Textron
Financial does not send to the Company any objection within said time period,
Textron Financial will be deemed to have approved such materials.  If Textron Financial does timely object to
such materials, the Company and Textron Financial will cooperate with each
other to reach a mutual agreement as to the final terms of such Dealer program
materials.  The Company has delivered to
Textron Financial copies of its Dealer program materials for calendar year 2003
and Textron Financial has approved the same. 
Approvals by Textron Financial of Dealer program materials shall be
solely for the express purposes referred to in this Program Agreement for which
such materials are to be used and, any such approval notwithstanding, if any
inconsistency shall exist between a term in such Dealer program materials and a
term provided for in the Program, then the term provided for in the Program
shall prevail.

  date on which the early termination of this Program Agreement set
  forth in such notice actually becomes effective is referred to in this

  the Company shall be obligated in accordance with all the terms and
  conditions under the Program, including without limitation this Program
  Agreement, the Repurchase Agreement, any Credit Enhancement Indemnity, and
  the Indemnity Agreement, until such times as all obligations, monetary and
  otherwise, in respect of the Program and advances made or commitments issued
  prior to the effective early termination date are satisfied with Textron
  Financial. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the effective early termination
  date, Textron Financial shall have no obligations to advance any additional
  sums under this Program.  In addition,
  not later than the effective early termination date, an early termination fee
  shall be paid by the Company to Textron Financial in an amount determined in

  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no early termination
  fee will apply if the Company terminates this Program Agreement due to (i) a
  breach by Textron Financial of any of its material obligations under this
  Program Agreement, or (ii) any breach by Textron Financial of the Servicing
  Guidelines set forth on Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by
  reference, and in the case of either of the foregoing (i) or (ii) such breach
  is not cured within 60 days after written notice from the Company to Textron
  Financial.   The Servicing Guidelines
  are attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and used herein solely in connection with a
  determination as to whether an early termination fee shall be payable under

  connection with this Program Agreement.

  Early Termination:

  result of (a) any default by the Company under this Program Agreement,  the Repurchase Agreement, any Credit
  Enhancement Indemnity, or the Indemnity Agreement (after the expiration of
  any applicable cure period), (b) any default by the Guarantor under the
  Guaranty (after the expiration of any applicable cure period) or the
  termination of the continuing nature of the Guaranty by the Guarantor, (c)
  the Company’s failure to offer to Dealers or otherwise comply with the
  interest rate subvention programs described in the Dealer program materials
  delivered by the Company to Textron Financial and approved by Textron
  Financial, as contemplated in the first paragraph of this Program Agreement,
  or (d) the Company’s exercising its “Carryover Extension of Free Flooring
  Period” rights which, in the aggregate, are materially in excess of
  historical amounts.  Notwithstanding
  such early termination, the Company shall be obligated in accordance with all
  the terms and conditions under the Program, including without limitation its
  unperformed obligations under this Program Agreement, the Repurchase
  Agreement, any Credit Enhancement Indemnity, and the Indemnity Agreement,
  until such times as all obligations, monetary and otherwise, in respect of
  the Program and advances made or commitments issued prior to the effective
  early termination date are satisfied with Textron Financial. For the
  avoidance of doubt, upon the effective early termination date, Textron
  Financial shall have no obligations to advance any additional sums under this

  all of its right, title and interest solely in respect of loans extended to
  Dealers under the Program together with the Lending Documents (as defined

  relationship with any Dealer extends beyond Program-related loans, Textron
  Financial shall in all cases retain such other loans and shall, if necessary,
  redocument or cause to be redocumented any of the Loan Documents so that the
  loan documents of any Dealer assigned to the Company under this paragraph
  will relate solely to loans extended to such Dealer under the Program (and
  all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Textron Financial with respect to such
  redocumenting will be for the account of the Company) and, where appropriate,
  will enter into intercreditor agreements with the Company in respect of any
  Dealer that will be obligated on loans to the Company as well as to Textron
  Financial after giving effect to the exercise of such option.  The foregoing purchase option is subject
  to any applicable governmental or regulatory approvals and requirements, the
  cost of which, if any, (including Textron Financial’s legal fees and expenses)
  shall be borne by the Company.

  Certificate of Authority of Limited Liability Company, Borrower Resolution,
  Sole Officer’s Certificate, UCC-1 Financing Statement, and Wholesale Security
  Agreement; the Wholesale Security Agreement shall be substantially in the

  of the Program).

  such Dealer through April 1, 2004 will be not less than the amount of
  such Dealer’s currently approved credit limit in place with Deutsche
  Financial Services Corp. or an affiliate thereof for floorplan financing of

  Information by Recipient, its directors, officers, employees, representatives
  or third parties acting for or in the same capacity as Recipient
  (“Recipient’s Agents”), which contain or otherwise reflect such information
  (collectively, the “Confidential Information”).  The term “Confidential Information” does not include such parts
  of the information which (i) are or become generally available to the public
  other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by Recipient or

  Trial:

  	
   

  	
  WITHOUT LIMITING THE SCOPE OF THE “ARBITRATION” PARAGRAPH SET FORTH
  BELOW, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY

  MATTER HEREOF.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Arbitration:

  	
   

  	
  Any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Program
  Agreement (collectively, the “Disputes”)
  shall be settled by arbitration as hereinafter provided. Such arbitration
  shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of Disputes and any
  arbitral award in respect thereof shall be final and binding, provided,
  however, upon the application of either the Company or Textron Financial, as
  the case may be, and whether or not an arbitration proceeding has yet been
  initiated, all courts having jurisdiction are hereby authorized, and either
  the Company or Textron Financial is hereby authorized, to so petition any
  such courts, to (a) issue and enforce in any lawful manner any temporary
  restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and other interim measures of
  relief as may be necessary to prevent harm to such applying party’s interests
  or as otherwise may be appropriate pending the conclusion of arbitration
  proceedings pursuant to this paragraph and (b) enter and enforce in any
  lawful manner such judgments for permanent equitable relief as may be
  necessary to prevent harm to Company’s or Textron Financial’s interests, as
  the case may be, provided for in any such arbitral award following the
  issuance thereof. All arbitration hereunder will be conducted in accordance
  with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of The American Arbitration Association
  (“AAA”) (regardless of whether
  such Rules are still in effect or the AAA is still in existence, as
  hereinafter provided).  If the AAA is
  dissolved, disbanded or otherwise is unavailable for any such arbitration,
  the Company and Textron Financial will remain subject to this paragraph and
  any arbitration to be conducted hereunder will be conducted by a recognized,

information has been requested and has been filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

 

	
   

  	
   

  	
  impartial, independent arbitral forum of national standing mutually
  agreed upon by the Company and Textron Financial using the aforesaid
  Commercial Arbitration Rules as then most recently in effect (with such
  modifications in such Rules as may be required by such other arbitral forum
  in order for such Rules to be utilizable by such other arbitral forum). The
  Company and Textron Financial agree that the arbitration shall be conducted
  by an arbitrator selected in accordance with the aforesaid Commercial
  Arbitration Rules. Any such arbitrator shall be independent and not in any
  way affiliated with either the Company or Textron Financial or any affiliate
  thereof, and shall otherwise be a disinterested and impartial party with
  respect to the particular Dispute. Any such arbitrator shall be experienced
  in dealer floorplan financing. The arbitrator will decide if any
  inconsistency exists between the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA in
  the relevant arbitral forum and the arbitration provisions contained herein;
  if any such inconsistency exists, the arbitration provisions contained herein
  will control and supersede such rules. 
  The site of all arbitration proceedings will be in Chicago, Illinois.
  The arbitrator shall apply only the law of the State of Minnesota (without
  giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law) in reaching his/her
  determinations in respect of any arbitral award.  The arbitrator shall make reasonably detailed findings of fact
  and law in a writing in support of his/her decision. The arbitrator will not
  have the authority to award exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. All
  arbitration proceedings, including testimony or evidence at hearings, will be
  kept confidential, although any award or order rendered by the arbitrator
  pursuant to the terms of this paragraph may be entered as a judgment or order
  in any state or federal court and accordingly enforced (including, without
  limitation, the federal court in the federal judicial district which includes
  the residence or place of business of the party against whom such award or
  order was entered).  If either the
  Company or Textron Financial brings any other action for judicial relief with
  respect to any Dispute, the party bringing such action will be liable for and
  will immediately pay all of the other party’s costs and expenses (including
  attorneys’ fees) incurred to stay or dismiss such action and remove or refer
  such Dispute to arbitration.  If
  either the Company or Textron Financial brings or appeals an action to vacate
  or modify an arbitration award and such party does not prevail, such party
  will pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the
  other party in defending such action. 
  If either the Company or Textron Financial, as a recipient of an
  arbitral award, enforces such award by obtaining a judgment or order in
  respect thereof in any state or federal court against the other party hereto
  and/or causes any such judgment or order to be executed or otherwise enforced
  against such other party, such other party shall pay all court costs and
  other expenses and reasonable attorney fees of the enforcing party in respect
  thereof. This paragraph will survive the termination of this Program
  Agreement.

Form of Wholesale Security Agreement

	
   

  
	
  

  
	
   

  

Textron Financial Corporation, Subsidiary of Textron Inc.

 

WHOLESALE SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

This Wholesale Security
Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into, as of the date set forth below,
by the debtor identified below (“Debtor”) and Textron Financial Corporation
(“Secured Party”).  For purposes of this
Agreement, any party which controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with Debtor or Secured Party, shall be deemed an affiliate of Debtor or
Secured Party, as appropriate.

 

1.                                       Grant
of Security Interest; Description of Collateral.

 

Debtor grants
to Secured Party and its affiliates a security interest in the following
property (collectively, the “Collateral”):

 

See Attached
Exhibit A

 

2.                                       Promise
to Pay.

Debtor
promises to pay to Secured Party the original invoice cost (“Invoice Cost”) of
each item of Collateral financed or refinanced for Debtor by Secured Party
pursuant to the terms of the invoice, the monthly inventory billing statement,
the Dealer Program Letter, finance plans or otherwise (in all cases, a “Finance
Plan”), together with interest and charges on the Invoice Cost as specified in
the applicable Finance Plan and this Agreement (collectively, the “Total
Debt”).  All payments hereunder and
under each Finance Plan shall be made payable to Secured Party and delivered to
the address specified by Secured Party from time to time.  Debtor agrees that all payments received by
the Debtor shall be held in trust for the Secured Party up to and including the
amount of the Total Debt attributable to such Collateral sold, until such time
as said payments are paid to Secured Party by or on behalf of Debtor.  Each payment received from Debtor by Secured
Party shall be applied:  first,
with respect to any particular item of Collateral, to accrued and unpaid late
charges and interest owing hereunder and under any applicable Finance Plan with
respect to such item of Collateral; and, thereafter, to the then outstanding
Invoice Cost of such item of Collateral (including all related charged costs on
the invoice related to such item of Collateral); second, to any other
outstanding amounts   of the Total
Debt attributable to items of Collateral which have been disposed of by Debtor
more than thirty days prior to Secured Party’s receipt of payment, but for
which amounts are still due and owing to Secured Party by Debtor; and third,
the remainder of any such payment received by Secured Party to be promptly paid
to the Debtor, provided however, that in the event the Debtor is in default
hereunder or under any Finance Plan, then Secured Party may hold such remaining
payment as security for the payment of all other obligations of the Debtor to
Secured Party.

 

3.                                       Obligations
Secured by the Collateral.

Each item of
Collateral shall secure the payment and performance by Debtor and/or its
affiliates of all present and future indebtedness and obligations of Debtor
and/or its affiliates, of every kind and nature whatsoever, owing to Secured
Party and/or its affiliates.  Debtor
acknowledges that Secured Party shall be entitled to a purchase money security
interest in the items of Collateral financed by Secured Party for Debtor and
agrees that the extent of Secured Party’s purchase money priority in any such
item of Collateral shall be determined, at any time, by reference to the unpaid
Total Debt attributable to such item of Collateral.

 

4.                                       Collateral
to Remain Personal Property; Location of Collateral.

Debtor agrees
that the Collateral shall at all times remain personal property, shall not
become affixed to or form a part of any real estate, and, except as set forth
in Paragraph 7, shall be located at Debtor’s place(s) of business set forth
below. Except as set forth in Paragraph 7, Debtor shall not remove any of the
Collateral from such location(s) (including moving any of the Collateral
between or among such locations) or change its principal place of business without
the prior written consent of Secured Party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

 

5.                                       Disclaimer
of Warranties; Unconditional Nature of Obligations.

DEBTOR HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT:  (a)
SECURED PARTY IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER OR THE SELLER OF THE COLLATERAL; AND (b)
SECURED PARTY HAS NOT MADE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE
COLLATERAL OF ANY NATURE OR KIND WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE MERCHANTABILITY OF THE COLLATERAL, ITS FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ITS COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS
OR ITS NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS.  Debtor agrees that it shall give notice to
Secured Party of any material defect or non-conformity in any shipment of the
Collateral financed by Secured Party, or any claim of a right to reject or
revoke acceptance of such Collateral for any reason, no later than five (5)
days after delivery of such Collateral. 
NOTWITHSTANDING
SUCH NOTICE, DEBTOR AGREES THAT ITS OBLIGATIONS TO SECURED PARTY WITH RESPECT
TO SUCH COLLATERAL SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL AT ALL TIMES AFTER
SECURED PARTY HAS ADVANCED OR COMMITTED TO ADVANCE ALL OR ANY PART OF THE
INVOICE COST OF SUCH COLLATERAL TO THE SELLER THEREOF.

 

* Pursuant to 17 CFR 240.24b-2,
confidential treatment of the omitted information has been requested and has

6.                                       Debtor’s
Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

Debtor
represents and warrants to Secured Party that: 
Debtor lawfully possesses and owns each item of Collateral financed or
refinanced by Secured Party for Debtor; except for the security interest
granted hereby, the Collateral is free from, and will remain free from, all
liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances; no financing statement
covering the Collateral or its proceeds is on file in favor of any party other
than Secured Party; all information supplied and statements made by Debtor in
any financial or accounting statement or application for credit delivered to
Secured Party at any time is, or shall be, true, correct, complete and genuine
in all material respects when delivered and there has been no material adverse
change in the Debtor’s credit worthiness, financial position or in the
information provided by Debtor  to
Secured Party in the credit application or otherwise from the date of
submission of such information through the date of Debtor’s signing of this
Agreement.  Debtor agrees:  to defend, at Debtor’s own expense, any
action, proceeding or claim affecting the Collateral; to pay attorneys’ fees
and all other expenses incurred by Secured Party in enforcing its rights after
Debtor’s default hereunder; to pay promptly all taxes, assessments, license
fees and other public or private charges when levied or assessed against the
Collateral, this Agreement, any Finance Plan or payments to be made in
connection therewith (such obligation shall survive the termination of this
Agreement); that if a certificate of title is required by law with respect to
any item of Collateral, Debtor shall obtain such certificate and shall note the
security interest of Secured Party thereon and, in any event, shall do
everything necessary or expedient to preserve or perfect the security interest
of Secured Party therein; that Debtor will not misuse, fail to keep in good
repair, secrete or, except as herein expressly permitted, rent, lend, encumber
or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral, or except as set forth in
Paragraph 7, use the Collateral for any purpose other than for display or
demonstration on Debtor’s premises without the prior written consent of Secured
Party; and that Secured Party may enter upon Debtor’s premises at any
reasonable time to inspect the Collateral and Debtor’s books and records
pertaining to the Collateral with the full cooperation and assistance of
Debtor.

 

7.                                       Disposition
of Collateral by Debtor; Release of Lien.

Debtor is a
merchant engaged in the business of selling the Collateral and other personal
property of a kind similar to the Collateral. 
Both Debtor and Secured Party intend for Debtor to sell the Collateral,
but only in the ordinary course of its business as Debtor normally sells such
Collateral.  Therefore, Debtor may sell
any item of Collateral provided that:  (a) Debtor is not in Default hereunder (as defined below), (b) the
price obtained for such item of Collateral is not less than the unpaid Total
Debt attributable thereto, and (c) in the event Debtor receives proceeds from
sale or other disposition, Debtor holds all of the proceeds of any such sale in
trust for, and promptly remits the unpaid Invoice Cost of such item of
Collateral to, Secured Party.  Debtor
acknowledges that Secured Party may extend financial accommodations, in an
amount equal to all or a portion of the Debtor’s sales price, to the purchaser
or lessee of an item of Collateral from Debtor.  In such a case, the unpaid Invoice Cost of such item of
Collateral and the amount to be financed by Secured Party may be offset against
one another to determine the amount payable by or to Debtor.

 

8.                                       Insurance
and Risk of Loss.

At all times
during the term of this Agreement, Debtor shall bear the entire risk of loss or
destruction of, or damage to, the Collateral. 
Debtor will procure and continuously maintain “all risk” property
insurance covering each item of Collateral for the full replacement value
thereof, plus such other insurance as Secured Party may specify from time to
time.  Each policy of insurance shall contain
a standard Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement in favor of Secured Party,
providing for, among other things, thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Secured Party of any cancellation, non-renewal or modification of such
coverage.  Secured Party’s acceptance of
policies in lesser amounts in one instance shall not be a waiver of Debtor’s
obligations hereunder in any other instances. 
In the event of Debtor’s failure to secure and maintain insurance as
herein required, or should Debtor request Secured Party to secure insurance on
Debtor’s and Secured Party’s behalf, Secured Party may, to protect and insure
the Collateral, at its sole option, secure such insurance on behalf of Debtor
and charge Debtor the amounts necessary to procure such insurance..  Any amounts expended by Secured Party in procuring
such insurance shall become part of the obligations so secured by the
Collateral and Debtor hereby promises to pay to Secured Party on demand any
such amounts expended.  The cost of such
insurance may include: (i) premium expense; (ii) reasonable premium finance
charges; and (iii) reasonable fees for billing and other administrative
services.  Secured Party’s affiliates
may act as insurance carrier, premium finance company and/or insurance
administrator, and may be compensated through premium charges, commissions,
premium rebates and fees.  Secured Party
will promptly discontinue any insurance purchased by Secured Party upon
Debtor’s presentation of proper evidence of valid insurance meeting the
requirements of this Section.  Debtor
hereby agrees that Secured Party may act as Debtor’s representative in making,
adjusting and settling claims under or cancelling any such insurance policies
covering the Collateral, and endorsing Debtor’s name on any drafts, checks or
other instruments drawn by an insurer of the Collateral.

 

9.                                       Events
of Default; Acceleration.

Debtor and
Secured Party acknowledge that time is of the essence in this Agreement.  The following are events of default
(individually and collectively, “Default”) under this Agreement permitting
Secured Party to take such action under Paragraph 10 of this Agreement as
Secured Party deems necessary:

 

(a)                                  any
of Debtor’s obligations to Secured Party and/or any affiliate of Secured Party
under this Agreement, any Finance Plan or any other agreement are not paid or
performed as required, or within any grace period allotted by this Agreement or
any Dealer Program Letter or Finance Plan to so pay or perform;

 

(b)                                 there
occurs a default by any affiliate of Debtor under any agreement with Secured
Party and/or any affiliate of Secured Party, and said default is not cured on
or before the expiration of any grace period allotted by this Agreement or any
Dealer Program Letter or Finance Plan;

 

(c)                                  any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral is made by Debtor other than in
compliance with Paragraph 7 hereof;

 

(d)                                 Debtor
breaches any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein or in any
other instrument or agreement delivered by Debtor to Secured Party or any
affiliate of Secured Party in connection with this Agreement or any other
transaction;

 

(e)                                  Debtor
dies, ceases to do business as a going concern or there occurs a material
change in the ownership or management of Debtor’s business;

 

(f)                                    any
of the Collateral is lost, damaged or destroyed and Debtor fails to pay to
Secured Party, within five (5) days thereafter, the unpaid Invoice Cost of such
Collateral unless there is an unreconciled insurance claim;

 

(g)                                 Debtor
becomes insolvent or bankrupt; makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or consents to the appointment of a trustee or receiver; a trustee or a
receiver is appointed for Debtor or for a substantial part of its property
without its consent and such trustee or receiver is not removed within a period
of thirty (30) days; bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings are
instituted by or against Debtor and, if instituted against Debtor, are not
dismissed within a period of thirty (30) days; or if any of the foregoing
occurs with respect to any guarantor or other party liable for any of Debtor’s
and/or its affiliates obligations to Secured Party and/or its affiliates;

 

* Pursuant to 17 CFR 240.24b-2,

(h)                                 all
or any part of the Collateral is attached, levied or seized upon in any
proceeding and such process is not discharged or bonded within ten (10) days;

 

(i)                                     Secured
Party concludes that the prospect of payment or performance of Debtor’s and/or
its affiliates obligations to Secured Party and/or its affiliates is impaired
by reason of a material adverse change in the business prospects or financial
condition of Debtor; or

 

(j)                                     any
guarantor, surety or endorser for any of Debtor’s and/or its affiliates
obligations to Secured Party and/or its affiliates dies, defaults in any
obligation or liability owing to Secured Party or any affiliate of Secured
Party, or any guaranty of the obligations secured hereby is terminated.

 

If Debtor is
in default hereunder, the indebtedness herein described and all other debts
then owing by Debtor to Secured Party and/or its affiliates under this
Agreement or any other present or future agreement shall, if Secured Party or
any such affiliate shall so elect, become immediately due and payable.

 

10.                                 Secured
Party’s Remedies After Default; Consent to Enter Premises.

Upon a default
hereunder, and at any time thereafter, Secured Party shall have all of the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and
any other applicable laws, including the right to collect from Debtor any
deficiency remaining after disposition of the Collateral.  Debtor agrees that Secured Party may, by
itself or through an agent, without notice to any person and without judicial
process of any kind other than required by applicable law, enter into any
premises or upon any land owned, leased or otherwise under the apparent control
of Debtor where Secured Party concludes the Collateral may be, and on a
temporary basis and solely for purposes of repossession disassemble or render
unusable, and/or repossess all or any items of the Collateral. Debtor expressly
waives all rights to possession of the Collateral after default and all claims
for injuries suffered through or loss caused by such entering and/or
repossession by Secured Party.  Debtor
shall, upon demand by Secured Party, assemble the Collateral and return it to
Secured Party at a place designated by Secured Party.  Secured Party will give Debtor reasonable notice of the time and
place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any
private sale of the Collateral or any other intended disposition thereof is to
be made.  The requirement of reasonable
notice shall be met if such notice is mailed to the notice address of Debtor
shown herein at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or other
disposition of the Collateral.  Debtor
agrees that the repurchase of any item of Collateral by the manufacturer or any
distributor thereof shall constitute a commercially reasonable private sale of
the Collateral by Secured Party, if the price obtained is equal to:  (a) the then outstanding Invoice Cost of
such item of Collateral, minus (b) amounts incurred, if any, to restore such
item of Collateral to the equivalent of unused condition.  Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for
sale, selling and the like shall include attorney’s fees and other legal
expenses.  Debtor understands that
Secured Party’s rights are cumulative and not alternative.

 

11.                                 Waiver
of Defaults; Agreement Inclusive.

Secured Party
may, in its sole discretion, waive a default or cure a default at Debtor’s
expense.  Any such waiver in any
particular instance or any waiver of a particular default shall not be a waiver
of any other defaults at the same time or at any other time.  No modification or change in this Agreement,
or supplement hereto, shall bind Secured Party unless in writing and signed by
an authorized officer of Secured Party.

 

12.                                 Financing
Statements; Financial Information.

Debtor shall
execute all financing statements or other instruments which Secured Party
reasonably deems to be necessary or appropriate to protect and perfect its
security interest in the Collateral. 
Debtor authorizes Secured Party to file a financing statement with
respect to the Collateral signed only by Secured Party and/or to file a
reproduction of this Agreement or a reproduction of a financing statement.  Unless waived by Secured Party, Debtor will
deliver to Secured Party, within one hundred and twenty days (120) after the
close of each fiscal year of Debtor, Debtor’s balance sheet and statement of
income (“Financial Statements”),)presenting fairly the financial condition of
Debtor as of the date thereof and for the period then ended.  The Secured Party has the right to request
updated financial information at any time. 
Upon such request, such information provided shall  fairly present the financial condition of
Debtor as of the date thereof and for the requested period most recently ended.

 

13.                                 Miscellaneous.

Secured Party
may correct patent errors herein and fill in blanks.  Secured Party will further undertake to fill in all blanks and
missing information, if any, in the lending documents upon receipt of executed
documents by the Debtor, and will further undertake to then send a copy of said
lending documents to the Debtor.  Any
provisions hereof contrary to, prohibited by, or invalid under applicable law,
shall be inapplicable hereto, deemed omitted herefrom, and shall not invalidate
the remaining provisions hereof. 
Secured Party may establish a credit limit for Debtor and may adjust
such credit limit from time to time. 
Such credit limit will not constitute a committed line of credit.  It is the intention of Secured Party not to
charge interest pursuant to the Finance Plans at a rate in excess of the
highest rate permitted by applicable law. 
Interest on any outstanding loan amount shall be spread over the entire
period that such loan amount is outstanding. 
Any such excess charges paid by Debtor to Secured Party shall be applied
to reduce the applicable loan amount outstanding or refunded to Debtor, as
appropriate.  Debtor acknowledges
receipt of a true copy hereof and waives notice of Secured Party’s acceptance
hereof.  If Debtor is a corporation, Debtor
represents that this Agreement is executed pursuant to authority of its Board
of Directors and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Debtor.  If more than one party executes this
Agreement as Debtor, their obligations under this Agreement are joint and
several.  Debtor may not assign its
rights or delegate its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of Secured Party.  All notices hereunder
shall be in writing and delivered or sent to the respective addresses set forth
herein, or such other address as either Secured Party or Debtor may hereafter
designate to the other.  This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of Rhode Island, without reference to applicable conflict of law principles.

 

The parties
hereto have executed this Agreement as
of                                 .
