Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same
effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of

    Section
2.13                     Break Funding

PAYMENTS.

     

    Section
3.1                       Rate.  The annual
interest accruing on Credit Advances shall be payable at the Rate, which shall
be determined by the Borrower’s selection of the Rate Type at the time of each
Advance and, in with regard to LIBOR Advances, Term.  The annual
interest accruing on Bankers Acceptances shall be payable at the Rate, which
shall be determined by the Borrower’s selection of the Term.  At the
time of execution of this Agreement, the Borrower shall execute the Note
attached hereto as Exhibit
A.

     

    Section
3.2                        Interest on the
Loan.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 (Default Rate Interest), the
Borrower shall pay interest on the Loan in accordance with the terms of the Note

    (a)                Interest
on the principal amount of each outstanding Credit Advance and Bankers

prorated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the
month that such amounts are outstanding and be payable in arrears on the first
day of the month immediately following the end of the preceding month for which
the interest is being paid.

     

    (b)              
The Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of the Total Borrowings,
which shall be the aggregation of all interest accruing at the Rate and
applicable to each Advance under the Loan.

     

    Section
3.3                     Interest Rate Types; Terms;
Elections.  Provided that the Borrower is in compliance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and no Event
of Default exists (which shall be subject to any written notice requirements
and/or right to cure), the Borrower shall, as applicable, be permitted to select
the Rate Type and Term as follows:

     

    (a)              
Bankers
Acceptances.  Bankers Acceptances shall bear interest at the
Acceptance Rate based upon the Term selected.  Provided that no Event
of Default exists and the Obligors are otherwise in compliance with the terms of
the Loan Documents, the Borrower may, at the expiration of any selected Term,
select another Term, provided that the aggregate Term, including all extensions
from the date of the initial Advance, shall not exceed the BA Term
Limitation.  Upon the expiration of a Term or in the event that the
total length of the Term, including all permitted extensions, is equal to (or
exceeds) the BA Term Limitation, such Bankers Acceptance must be paid in full,
which payment may be made from the Borrower’s funds, available funds in the
Checking Account or through a Credit Advance in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, provided that the Borrower is in compliance with
this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the Total Outstandings do not exceed
the Maximum Credit.  In the event that the Bankers Acceptance is equal
to or exceeds the BA Term Limitation and the Borrower has not paid the Bankers
Acceptance from available funds or through a Credit Advance, the Bank may pay
the Bankers Acceptance in full through an Advance under the Loan (with a Rate
Type and, as applicable, Term to be selected by the Bank, in its discretion) (w)
with or without the Borrower’s consent, (x) with or without the Bank having
received an Advance Request Notice, (y) even if such Advance results in an
Overadvance and/or (z) even if such Advance causes the Total Outstandings or
Total Borrowings to exceed the Maximum Credit.

    (b)               Prime
Advances.  Prime Advances shall bear interest at the Prime
Advance Rate until the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date on which each
such Credit Advance is paid in full.  Prime Advances do not have a
Term selection requirement.  For any Prime Advance, provided that no
Event of Default exists and the Obligors are otherwise in compliance with the
terms of the Loan Documents, the Borrower may, at any time, select another Rate
Type and, if applicable, a permitted Term available for such Rate
Type.

     

    (c)              LIBOR
Advances.  LIBOR Advances shall bear interest at the LIBOR
Advance Rate based upon and for the Term selected until the earlier of the
Maturity Date or the date on which each such Credit Advance is paid in
full.  Provided that no Event of Default exists and the Obligors are
otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the Borrower may,
at the expiration of any selected Term, select another Rate Type and, if
applicable, a permitted Term available for such Rate Type.  If the
Term expires without selection of a new Term, the Term shall be the shortest
permitted Term available for LIBOR Advances.  It is understood by all
parties to the Agreement that the continuation, through a new Terms, or
conversion of any LIBOR Advance to a Prime Advance does not and shall not
constitute a payment or repayment and is solely a mechanism for determining the
Rate applicable to such Advance.

     

    Section
3.4                     Repayment of
Loans.  The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay the Bank
the full amount of the Total Outstandings applicable to the Loan on the Maturity
Date.  The entries made in the Loan Account maintained by the Bank
shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein; provided that any
failure by the Bank to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not
affect the Obligations of the Obligors to repay the Loan and the Obligations in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

3.5                     Late Payment

principal is paid more than ten (10) days after the date that such payment is
due, Borrower shall pay to the Bank a late payment premium (“Late Payment
Premium”), which shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%)
of the amount of such payment or the maximum amount permitted under applicable
law in order to defray the expenses incurred by the Bank in handling and
processing such delinquent payment and to compensate the Bank for the loss of
the use of such delinquent payment.  Any such amounts due under this
section shall be secured by a security interest in the Collateral pursuant to
Section 4 (Security
Interests).  The acceptance by the Bank of a late payment or
the Late Payment Premium shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event
of Default then existing or arising thereafter pursuant to any Loan
Document.  The Bank’s failure to collect a Late Payment Premium at any
time shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s right thereafter, at any time
and from time to time (including without limitation, upon acceleration of the
Note or upon payment in full of the Loan), to collect such previously
uncollected Late Payment Premiums or to collect subsequently accruing Late
Payment Premiums.

subject to any written notice requirements and/or right to cure) or upon the
termination of this Agreement, interest on all outstanding unpaid Obligations
shall accrue at a rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum in excess of the
pre-default Rate from the date of such Event of Default, termination or
non-renewal to the date of payment in full of all Obligations.  All
interest accruing hereunder shall thereafter be payable on
demand.  Any such amounts due under this section shall be secured by a
security interest in the Collateral pursuant to Section 4 (Security
Interests).

Payment.  Interest shall be calculated as set forth above and

charge all interest to any of the Borrower’s accounts, including the Checking
Account, maintained with the Bank on the first day of each month, or such other
day as the Bank may charge thereafter, and such interest shall be deemed to be
paid by the first amounts subsequently credited thereto, or as otherwise
determined in the Bank’s sole discretion.  Any such amounts due under
this section shall be secured by a security interest in the Collateral pursuant
to Section 4 (Security
Interests).

     

    Section
3.8                   
Limitation.  In no
event shall charges constituting of interest, payable by the Borrower under this
Agreement, exceed the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, and
if any part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law
or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended and the Rate

respect to the following Collateral:

     

    (a)                      If
the Borrower shall at any time hold or acquire any instruments, promissory
notes, documents (common to a business using an outside distribution center) or
tangible chattel paper, the Borrower shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver
the same to the Bank, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment
duly executed in blank as the Bank may from time to time specify.  The
Borrower will not create any tangible chattel paper without placing a legend on
the chattel paper acceptable to the Bank indicating that the Bank have a

    (b)                      For
each deposit account that the Borrower at any time open or maintain, the
Borrower shall, at the Bank’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, either (a) cause the depositary
bank to agree to comply at any time with instructions from the Bank to such
depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to
such deposit account, without the Borrower’s further
consent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
foregoing or in any such agreement with any depositary bank, the Bank agrees
that the Bank shall not give any instructions to any such depositary bank
concerning the disposition of funds in any such account, or instructing any such
depositary bank to cease complying with instructions that the Borrower may
provide regarding the disposition of funds in any such account, unless an Event
of Default shall have occurred and remain continuing hereunder or an event which
would result in a Material Adverse Change.  The provisions of this
Section shall not apply to (i) any deposit account for which the Borrower, the
depositary bank and the Bank have entered into a cash collateral agreement
specially negotiated among the Borrower, the depositary bank and the Bank for
the specific purpose set forth therein, (ii) deposit accounts for which the Bank
is the depositary and (iii) deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for
payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for

Borrower shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Bank,
accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank
as the Bank may from time to time specify. If any securities now or hereafter
acquired by the Borrower are uncertificated and are issued to the Borrower or
the Borrower’s nominee directly by the issuer thereof, the Borrower shall
immediately notify the Bank thereof and, at the Bank’s request and option,
pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, cause
the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Bank as to such
securities, without the Borrower’s further consent or the consent of such
nominee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or
in any such agreement with such issuer, the Bank agrees that the Bank shall not
give any instructions as to any such securities unless an Event of Default shall
have occurred and remain continuing hereunder or an event which would result in
a Material Adverse Change.  If any securities, whether certificated or
uncertificated, for unsecured assets or other investment property now or
hereafter acquired by the Borrower are held by the Borrower or the Borrower’s
nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, the
Borrower shall immediately notify the Bank thereof and, at the Bank’s request
and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Bank, cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity
intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions
from the Bank to such securities intermediary as to such securities, financial
assets or other investment property, or (as the case may be) to apply any value
distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Bank to such
commodity intermediary, in each case without the Borrower’s further consent or
the consent of such nominee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the foregoing or in any such agreement with any such securities
intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary, the Bank agrees
that the Bank shall not give any entitlement orders or other instructions to any
such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary
unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain continuing hereunder
or an event which would result in a Material Adverse
Change.   The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any
financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Bank and/or its
affiliate are the securities intermediary.

    (d)                    
If any goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, the Borrower shall
promptly notify the Bank thereof and, if requested by the Bank, shall promptly
obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Bank, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the Bank’s benefit (but not
as an agent of the Bank) and shall act upon the Bank’s instructions, without the
Borrower’s further consent.

     

    (e)                      If
the Borrower at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel
paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201 of
the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in
Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any
relevant jurisdiction, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Bank thereof and,
at  the Bank’s request, shall take such action as the Bank may
reasonably request to vest in  the Bank’s control, under the UCC, of
such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may
be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in
such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.

     

    (f)                      If
the Borrower is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or
hereafter issued in the Borrower’s favor, the Borrower shall promptly notify the
Bank thereof and, at the Bank’s request and option following the occurrence and
continuation of a Default, the Borrower shall, pursuant to an agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to the Bank, either arrange for the issuer and any
confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Bank of
the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit; or  arrange
for the Bank to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with
the Bank agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the
letter to credit are to be applied in reduction of the Obligations, or to be
held as Collateral, as the Bank in its sole discretion shall deem
appropriate.

     

    (g)                      If
the Borrower shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim, the
Borrower shall immediately notify the Bank in a writing signed by the Borrower
of the details thereof and grant to the Bank in such writing a security interest
therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with
such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank.

material respect;

     

    (d)                      if

    (e)                      if
there shall be a Material Adverse Change from the date hereof; or

     

    (f)                      
if at any time the Bank shall, in the Bank’s commercially reasonable discretion,
consider the Obligations insecure or any part of the Collateral unsafe, insecure
or insufficient and the Borrower shall, on the Bank’s demand, be unable to
furnish other Collateral or make payment on account, satisfactory to the
Bank.

     

    Section
9.2               Upon
the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default and at any time
thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Bank shall have
the right (in addition to any other rights the Bank may have under this
Agreement, any supplement hereto or otherwise available under applicable law)
without notice to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time, in the Bank’s
discretion, with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance or others
and without cost to the Bank to appropriate, set off and apply to the payment of
any or all of the Obligations, any or all Collateral, in such manner as the Bank
shall in the Bank’s sole discretion determine; to enforce payment of any
Collateral; to settle, compromise or release in whole or in part, any amounts
owing on the Collateral; to prosecute any action, suit or proceeding with
respect to the Collateral; to extend the time of payment of any and all
Collateral; to make allowances and adjustments with respect thereto; to issue
credits in the Bank’s or the Borrower’s name; to sell, assign and deliver the
Collateral (or any part thereof) at public or private sale, at broker's board,
for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at the Bank’s sole option and discretion,
and the Bank may bid or become purchaser at any such sale, if public, free from
any right of redemption which is hereby expressly waived; and, with respect to
the Inventory or Equipment, to enter upon any premises on or in which any of the
Inventory or Equipment may be located and, without resistance or interference by
the Borrower, take possession of the Inventory and the Equipment; to complete
processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Inventory; to
sell, foreclose or otherwise dispose of any part or all of the Inventory and the
Equipment on or in any of the Borrower’s premises or premises of any other
party; to require the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, to assemble and make
available to the Bank any part or all of the Inventory and the Equipment at any
place and time designated by the Bank; and to remove any or all of the Inventory
and the Equipment from any premises on or in which the same may be located, for
the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or
for any other purpose.

     

    Section
9.3                In
the event the Bank seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the
Collateral by judicial process, the Borrower irrevocably waive: (a) the posting
of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be
required, (b) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or
action to recover the Collateral, and (c) any requirement that the Bank retain
possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final
judgment.

     

    Section
9.4                 If
notice of the intended disposition of Collateral is required by law, the
Borrower agrees that the giving of seven (7) days notice by the Bank (unless a
shorter period of time is permitted under the UCC), sent by ordinary mail,
postage prepaid, to the Borrower’s address set forth herein, designating the
place and time of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or
other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to
be reasonable notice thereof and the Borrower waive any other notice with
respect thereto.

    Section

The Bank shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the
Collateral for sale.

     

    Section
9.6               
The Bank may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the
Collateral.  The Bank may disclaim any warranties of title or the
like.

     

    Section
9.7                To
the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Bank to exercise remedies
in a commercially reasonable manner, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
it is not commercially unreasonable for the Bank (a) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by the Bank to prepare Collateral for disposition
or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or
other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party
consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not
required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents
for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of,
(c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other
persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any
adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against
Account Debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through
the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to
contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the undersigned,
for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral,
(g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to
dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction
of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable
capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to
dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim
disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to
insure the Bank against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral
or to provide the Bank a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of
Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Bank, to obtain the
services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
professionals to assist the Bank in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. The
Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide
non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Bank would not be
commercially unreasonable in the Bank’s exercise of remedies against the
Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Bank shall not be deemed
commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this
Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this
Section shall be construed to grant any rights to the Borrower or to impose any
duties on the Bank that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement
or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

     

    Section
9.8               The
Bank shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security
(including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of
payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral
security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its
rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances
of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however
existing or arising. To the extent that the Borrower lawfully may, the Borrower
hereby agrees that the Borrower will not invoke any law relating to the
marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of
the Bank’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or
evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is
otherwise assured, and, to the extent that the Borrower lawfully may, the
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

     

    Section
9.9                 The
net cash proceeds resulting from the exercise of any of the foregoing rights or
remedies shall be applied by the Bank to the payment of the Obligations in such
order as the Bank may elect, and the Borrower shall remain liable to the Bank
for any deficiency.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
if the Bank enters into any credit transaction, directly or indirectly, in
connection with the disposition of any Collateral, the Bank shall have the
option, at any time, in the Bank’s sole discretion, to reduce the Obligations by
the principal amount of such credit transaction or to defer the reduction
thereof until actual receipt by the Bank of cash or other immediately available
funds in connection therewith.

    Section
9.10                
The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be
exclusive, and such rights and remedies are in addition to and not by way of
limitation of any other rights or remedies the Bank may have under the UCC or
other applicable law.  The Bank shall have the right, in the Bank’s
sole discretion, to determine which rights and remedies, and in which order any
of the same, are to be exercised, and to determine which Collateral is to be
proceeded against and in which order, and the exercise of any right or remedy
shall not preclude the exercise of any others, all of which shall be
cumulative.

     

    Section
9.11                  No
act (other than a waiver in writing), failure or delay by the Bank shall
constitute a waiver of any of the Bank’s rights and remedies.  No
single or partial waiver by the Bank of any provision of this Agreement or any
supplement hereto, or breach or default thereunder, or of any right or remedy
which the Bank may have shall operate as a waiver of any other provision,
breach, default, right or remedy or of the same provision, breach, default,
right or remedy on a future occasion.

     

    Section
9.12                   Upon
the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and following issuance by
the Bank of a written notice with right to cure, all or any one or more of the
rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to the Bank against the
Obligors under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and
delivered by, or applicable to, the Obligors or at law, equity or otherwise may
be exercised by the Bank at any time and from time to time, whether or not the
Bank shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the
enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan documents with
respect to the Collateral.  Any such actions taken by the Bank may be
pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time
and in such order as the Bank may determine in its sole and absolute discretion,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting
the other rights and remedies of the Bank permitted by law, equity or contract
or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligors agree that if an Event of
Default exists (a) the Bank is not subject to any “one action” or “election of
remedies” law or rule, and (b) all liens and other rights, remedies or
privileges provided to the Bank shall remain in full force and effect until the
Bank has exhausted all of its remedies resulting in the satisfaction and payment
in full of all Obligations.

     

    Section
9.13                    The
Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest
of all instruments included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the
Collateral and any and all notices or demands whatsoever (except as expressly
provided herein).  The Bank may, at all times, proceed directly
against the Borrower to enforce payment of the Obligations and shall not be
required to take any action of any kind to preserve, collect or protect the
Bank’s or the Borrower’s rights in the Collateral.

     

    Section

    Section
10.1                    
This Agreement shall become effective upon acceptance by the Bank and shall
continue in full force and effect until Maturity Date.  The Bank shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately at any time upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default.  No termination of this Agreement,
however, shall relieve or discharge the Borrower of the Borrower’s duties,
Obligations and covenants hereunder until all Obligations have been paid in
full, and the Bank’s continuing security interest in the Collateral shall remain
in effect until such time that the Obligations have been fully
discharged.

     

    Section
10.2                      This
Agreement, any supplement hereto, and any agreements, instruments or documents
delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith represent the Borrower’s
entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and
thereof, and supersede all other prior and contemporaneous agreements,

commitments, offers, contracts, whether oral or written.

parties.

     

    Section
10.4                       Upon
the Bank’s request, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank, or reimburse the Bank
for, all sums, costs and expenses which the Bank may pay or incur in connection
with or related to the negotiation, preparation, consummation, administration
and enforcement of this Agreement, any supplement hereto, and all other
agreements, instruments and documents in connection herewith and therewith, and
the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, together with any
amendments, supplements, consents or modifications which may be hereafter made
or entered into in respect hereof or thereof, and all efforts made to defend,
protect or enforce the security interest granted herein or therein or in
enforcing payment of the Obligations, including without limitation, appraisal
fees, filing fees and taxes, title insurance premiums, recording taxes, expenses
for searches, expenses heretofore incurred by the Bank and from time to time
hereafter during the Bank’s periodic field examinations of the Collateral and
the Borrower’s operations, wire transfer fees, check dishonor fees, the fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Bank, all fees and expenses for the service and
filing of papers, premiums on bonds and undertakings, fees of marshals,
sheriffs, custodians, auctioneers and others, travel expenses and all the Bank’s
costs and collection charges, all of which shall be part of the Obligations and
shall accrue interest after demand thereof at a rate equal to the highest rate
then payable on any of the Obligations.

service of process and any legal summons, complaint or other process to be

    FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned promises to pay to the order of ISRAEL DISCOUNT BANK OF NEW
YORK (“Bank”) at its principal office, located at 511 Fifth Avenue, New
York, NY 10017, the principal sum of THREE MILLION ($3,000,000.00), or, if less,
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances (including, but not
limited to
those  arising  out  of  letters  of  credit
issued by the Bank, acceptances and other indebtedness, each an “Advance” and
collectively, the “Advances”) made by the Bank, in its sole discretion, to the
undersigned from time to time, as set forth on the Bank’s computer system on the
Loan Enquiry Page(s) (“Loan Enquiry Page(s)”) on the maturity date of each such
Advance either as shown on the Loan Enquiry Page(s) or by acceleration, or on
demand. The undersigned shall also pay to the Bank interest, fees and costs as
set forth in that certain Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) executed by
and between the Borrower and the Bank contemporaneously herewith.

    

    Each
Advance hereunder shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof for
the interest period applicable thereto at the interest rate (“Rate”) (as set
forth and defined in the Agreement).

    

    The
undersigned shall provide the Bank with prior notification of each Advance
requested hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 2 of the
Agreement.  All requests for Advances shall be irrevocable and shall
be in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the
Agreement.

    

    The Bank
may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by the
Bank in good faith to be from the undersigned.  The undersigned shall
immediately confirm to the Bank, in writing, each telephonic
notice.  All Advances are made in accordance with the Agreement and
the Bank, in accordance with the conditions of the Agreement and without notice
to the undersigned, may decline to make any Advance requested by the
undersigned.  The undersigned hereby expressly authorizes the Bank to
record in its computer system the amount and date of each Advance, the
applicable rate of interest, the applicable Term for each Advance, the maturity
date, and each payment of principal and interest thereon.  In the
event of any discrepancy between any such notation by the Bank and any records
of the undersigned, the records of the Bank shall be controlling and
conclusive.

    

    Interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days
elapsed (but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permitted by
law).  Interest on Advances hereunder shall be payable in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement.

    

     In
accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the undersigned authorizes the Bank
to charge any of the undersigned’s deposit accounts for payments of principal,
interest or other amounts due and owing.  Any payment of principal or
interest payable hereunder, which is not paid when due, shall be subject to a
Late Payment Premium (as described in the Agreement) and shall bear interest
from the date due until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to five percent
(5%) above the interest rate in effect with respect
thereto.  Additional amounts may be due in accordance with the
Agreement.

    

    Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the undersigned may borrow, repay
in whole or in part, and re-borrow on a revolving basis up to the maximum amount
of this Note.

     

     

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
        44

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    
 

    Any
Advance may be prepaid in full or in part, on any Business Day, upon five (5)
days prior written notice to the Bank of such prepayment, subject to a
prepayment premium equal to the amount of interest which the Bank would have
earned on the principal amount so prepaid at the then current Rate from the date
of such prepayment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such
Advance.  The Bank shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of
an Advance unless it is accompanied by the prepayment premium.

     

    

    If any
amount payable on any Obligations (as defined in the Agreement) of the
undersigned to the Bank shall not be paid when due, then this Note and the
principal of and accrued interest on each Advance evidenced hereby shall, unless
the Bank shall otherwise elect, become forthwith due and payable in full,
without protest, presentment, notice or demand, all of which are expressly
waived by the undersigned.

    

    As
security for the payment of all the Obligations, the undersigned has granted to
the Bank a security interest in, and a general lien upon and/or right of set-off
of, the Collateral, as further described in the Agreement.

    

    The Bank,
at its discretion, whether any Obligations be due may, in its name or in the
name of the undersigned or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any
money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange
for, or make any compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to, any
of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation so to do, or the Bank may
extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise
modify the terms of, or release, any of the Collateral, without thereby
incurring responsibility to, or discharging or otherwise affect­ing any
liability of, the undersigned.  The Bank shall not be required to take
any steps necessary to preserve any rights of prior parties to any of the
Collateral.  Upon default hereunder or in connection with any of the
Obligations (whether such default be that of the undersigned or of any other
party obligated thereon), the Bank shall have the rights and remedies provided
by law; and the Bank may sell or cause to be sold in such places as it may
determine, in its sole discretion, in one or more sales or parcels, at such
price as the Bank may deem best, and for cash or on credit or for future
delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, all or any of the Collateral,
at any brokers’ board or at public or private sale, without demand of
performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale (except
such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the
Bank or anyone else may be the pur­chaser of any or all of the Collateral so
sold and thereafter hold the same, absolutely free from any claim or right of
whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption, of the undersigned, any
such demand, notice or right and equity being hereby waived and
released.  The undersigned will pay to the Bank all reasonable out of
pocket expenses (including reasonable expense for legal services of every kind)
of, or incidental to, the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof or of any
of the Obligations, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange,
enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement of any of the Collateral or
receipt of the proceeds thereof, and for the care of the Collateral and
defending or asserting the rights and claims of the Bank in respect thereof, by
litigation or otherwise, including expense of insurance, and all such expenses
shall be indebtedness within the terms of this Note.  The Bank, at any
time, at its option, may apply the net cash receipts from the Collateral to the
payment of principal of and/or interest on any of the Obligations, whether or
not then due, making proper rebate of interest or
discount.  Notwithstanding that the Bank, whether in its own behalf
and/or in behalf of another and/or of others, may continue to hold Collateral
and regardless of the value thereof, the under­signed shall be and remain
liable for the payment in full, principal and interest, of any balance of the
Obligations and expenses at any time unpaid.

     

    

    The
undersigned represents and warrants that:  it is a corporation duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its incorporation
and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every state
where the failure to qualify would materially and adversely affect the financial
condition of the undersigned, and the execution, issuance and delivery of this
Note by the undersigned are within its corporate powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and this Note is valid, binding
and enforceable in accordance with its terms, and is not in violation of law or
of the terms of the undersigned's Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or
By-Laws and does not result in the breach of or constitute a default under any
indenture, agreement or undertaking to which the undersigned is a party or by
which it or its property may be bound or affected.

    Upon the
occurrence of any of the following specified events of default (each an “Event
of Default) set forth in the Agreement; THEN, in any such event, and at any time
thereafter, unless and to the extent that the Bank shall otherwise elect, if any
Event of Default shall then be continuing, the principal and the accrued
interest in respect of each Advance under this Note shall become immediately due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are expressly waived by the undersigned.

    

    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Note, if any change after
the date hereof in law, rule, regulation, guideline or order or in the
interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
administration thereof, shall make it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain
any Advance based upon LIBOR, then, by written notice to the undersigned, the
Bank may require that such Advance be converted to an Advance based on the Prime
Rate, whereupon such Advance shall be automatically converted as of the date of
such notice to the undersigned.

     

    

    In the
event that any change in applicable law or regulation, or in the interpretation
thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof,
shall impose on or deem applicable to the Bank any reserve requirements against
this Note or impose upon the Bank any other costs or assessments (the
“Additional Costs”), the undersigned shall pay to the Bank, on demand (which
demand shall be in writing and which will set forth a calculation of such
Additional Costs), an amount sufficient to compensate the Bank for the
Additional Cost resulting from the maintenance or imposition of such reserves,
costs or assessments.  The calculation of amount of the Additional
Costs shall, absent manifest error, be presumed correct.

    

    Any
consents, agreements, instructions or requests pertaining to any matter in
connection with this Note, signed by any one of the undersigned, shall be
binding upon all of the undersigned. This Note shall not be assigned by the
undersigned without the Bank’s prior written consent.

    

    THE
UNDERSIGNED IN ANY LITIGATION (WHETHER OR NOT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
NOTE OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITY OF THE UNDERSIGNED TO THE BANK) IN
WHICH THE BANK AND THE UNDERSIGNED SHALL BE ADVERSE PARTIES, WAIVES TRIAL BY
JURY AND THE RIGHT TO INTERPOSE ANY DEFENSE, SET-OFF OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY
NATURE OR DESCRIPTION.  THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES TO PAY ON DEMAND ALL OF
THE BANK'S ACTUAL COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE COUNSEL FEES, IN
CONNECTION WITH COLLECTION OF ANY AMOUNTS DUE TO THE BANK AND ENFORCEMENT OF ITS
RIGHTS UNDER THIS NOTE.

    

    The
undersigned agrees that the action, proceeding or claim against it arising out
of, or relating in any way to, this Note may be brought and enforced in the
courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the
Southern District of New York, and hereby irrevocably submits to each such
jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be non-exclusive.  With respect
to any such action, proceeding or claim, the undersigned consents to accept
service of process pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

    

    No
modification or waiver of any provision of this note and no consent by the Bank
to any departure therefrom by the undersigned shall be effective unless such
modification or waiver shall be in writing and signed by a duly authorized
officer of the Bank, and the same shall then be effective only for the period
and on the conditions and for the specific instances specified in such writing.
No failure or delay by the Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights, power or
privilege.

    The
rights, remedies, and benefits herein expressly specified are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies or benefits which the Bank may otherwise
have.  The undersigned hereby waives demand, presentment, notice of
dishonor and protest of all instruments included in or evidencing the Note and
any Obligations and any and all other notices.

    

    The
undersigned acknowledges that this Note is an instrument for the payment of
money only within the meaning of Section 3213 of the New York Civil Practice Law
& Rules.

    

    In the
event any one or more of the provisions in this Note should be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

    

    This Note
and the provisions hereof are to be binding upon the respective heirs, estate,
administrators, executors, assigns or successors of the undersigned; and they
are to be construed according to and governed by the internal laws of the State
of New York.

    AGREEMENT REGARDING
INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY TELEPHONE,  FACSIMILE, EMAIL, TELEX AND
CABLE

    

    

    Israel
Discount Bank of New York

    511 Fifth
Avenue

    New York,
NY 10017

    

    

    From time to time in the course of its
business and banking relations, the undersigned borrower (“Borrower”), through
its officers and agents, may transmit to Israel Discount Bank of New York (“IDB
Bank”) instructions by telephone, facsimile, email, telex or cable
(collectively, the “Instructions”) regarding the Loan being extended
contemporaneously herewith, related loans and/or deposit accounts including,
without limitation, (a) IDB Bank’s acceptance or renewal of the time or savings
deposits of the undersigned; (b) the withdrawal or transfer of funds from
deposit accounts of the Borrower; (c) obtaining advances under the Loan or
additional loans; and (d) requesting issuance of letters of credit, including
amendments or waivers of discrepancies of such letters of
credit.  With regard to all such Instructions, the Borrower agrees,
pursuant to this instructions agreement (“Instructions Agreement”) as
follows:

    

    1.           IDB
Bank is under no obligation to accept such Instructions and, by accepting any
such Instructions in any instance, IDB Bank is under no obligation to accept
subsequent Instructions.

     

    

    2.           IDB
Bank is under no obligation to verify Instructions and IDB Bank may act upon
Instructions it believes to be given by anyone authorized to give
Instructions.

    

    3.           If
after receiving Instructions, IDB Bank determines in its sole judgment that (i)
IDB Bank cannot for any reason comply with or fulfill the Instructions, in whole
or in part; or (ii) the request is unclear or additional details or information
is required in order for IDB Bank to comply with the Instructions in whole or in
part, then IDB Bank may, in its sole discretion: (A) comply with or fulfill the
Instructions in part only or not at all; (B) delay in complying with or
fulfilling the Instructions in whole or in part until additional details or
information are received by IDB Bank; (C) take such other action as in IDB
Bank’s sole discretion it may deem advisable in order to give effect to the
Instructions as IDB Bank understands them.

    

    4.           Notwithstanding
any oral acceptance by any of IDB Bank’s employees of any Instructions, IDB Bank
may nevertheless, for any reason, including but not limited to commercial or
policy considerations or changes, reject such Instructions, in whole or in part,
whereupon IDB Bank shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to comply with or
fulfill such Instructions in part only or not at all.

    

    5.           IDB
Bank shall not be liable for any damages (including special, consequential or
indirect damages) caused by any action taken or omitted to be taken by IDB Bank
in accordance with the terms of this Instructions Agreement, regardless of the
fact that such action or inaction arises from a misunderstanding, incorrect
transmission or multiple transmission of the same Instructions, IDB Bank’s

    SUBORDINATION
AGREEMENT

     

    

    THIS
SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made this
_____ day of March, 2008 between FREUNDLICH SUPPLY COMPANY, INC., a New York
corporation (“Debtor”), and
NIGHTWIND CORP., and its successors and assigns (“Creditor” or “Creditors”), a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of
__________________________ and having offices at
_____________________________________________________________________________.

    

    In order
to induce ISRAEL DISCOUNT BANK OF NEW YORK (hereinafter called the “Bank”), from time to
time, to extend credit to Debtor, and in consideration of advances, loans,
discounts, extensions of credit or renewals, heretofore or hereafter made to or
in reliance upon the obligations of, Debtor by the Bank, and of the acquisition
by the Bank, heretofore or hereafter, of notes or other instruments for payment
of money and any security agreements relative thereto, or conditional contracts
of sale, chattel mortgages, leases or other liens or security agreements
heretofore or hereafter made by Debtor, or an interest or participation therein
as the Bank may have deemed or may deem advisable and for other good and
valuable consideration, the parties do hereby agree, jointly and severally, as
follows:

    

    1.           That
all claims and demands and all interest accrued or that may hereafter accrue
thereon (except those representing bona fide claims for current and future
salaries due Creditors as an officer or employee of Debtor) which Creditors now
has or may hereafter have or acquire against Debtor (including the Subordinated
Loan described below) (the same being hereafter called “Claims”) are hereby
subordinated to any obligations (as hereinafter defined) owed to the Bank and
such Claims shall not be payable, and that no payment on account thereof, nor
any security therefore, shall be received, accepted or retained by Creditors,
unless and until Debtor has paid and satisfied in full all of its obligations
and liabilities to the Bank of every kind and description, whether or not
represented by negotiable instruments or other writings, whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, due or not due, secured or unsecured,
original, renewed or extended, now in existence or hereafter incurred,
originally contracted with the Bank alone or with another or others, and
assigned or transferred to or otherwise acquired by the Bank, or in which the
Bank may acquire a participation, and whether contracted by Debtor alone or
jointly and/or severally with another or others (all of which are hereafter
referred to as “Obligations”).  Debtor
agrees not to make payment of, or give any security for, said Claims to
Creditors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, until
a default occurs under any of the Obligations or until written notice from the
Bank to Debtor, Debtor may pay and Creditor may receive, accept and retain,
the quarterly
installments of $75,000.00 owing to Creditor in connection with that certain
subordinated loan by Creditor to the Debtor (“Subordinated Loan”), provided that: (i) no
Default or Event of Default exists under the Loan and Security Agreement between
the Debtor and the Bank; (ii) the Borrower is in compliance with the minimum
capital funds requirement set forth in Section 6.8 of the Loan and Security
Agreement; and (iii) Creditor has entered into this Subordination
Agreement.

    

    2.           Should
any payment or distribution or collateral security or proceeds of any collateral
security be received or collected by Creditors for or on account of said Claims,
prior to the satisfaction of all of said Obligations, Creditors will forthwith
deliver same to the Bank in precisely the form received (except for such
Creditor's endorsement where necessary), for application on account of said
Obligations, and Creditors agree that until so delivered, same shall be deemed
received by each Creditor as an agent for the Bank and shall be held in trust by
Creditors as the property of the Bank. In the event of the failure of any
Creditor to endorse any instrument for the payment of money so received by such
Creditor, payable to such Creditor’s order, the Bank, or any officer or employee
thereof, is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed attorney in fact for
Creditors with full power to make any such endorsement and with full power of
substitution.

     

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
        57

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    
 

    3.           Creditors
represent and warrant to the Bank that each Creditor is solvent and has granted
no security interest in, and has made no prior transfer or assignment of, said
Claims, and the Creditors will grant no security interest therein and will not
transfer or assign said Claims (except to the Bank) unless and until Debtor has
paid and satisfied said Obligations.

    

    4.           Creditors
and Debtor represent to Bank that Debtor now owes each Creditor the principal
sum of Three Hundred and
Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($375,000.00), without counterclaim,
defense or offset and that said indebtedness is not represented by any
negotiable instruments or other writings, except such negotiable instruments or
other writings, if any, as have been endorsed and/or assigned and delivered by
Creditor to the Bank simultaneously with the execution of this
agreement.  Creditors and Debtor further agree that at no time
hereafter will any part of said indebtedness be represented by any negotiable
instruments or other writings, except such negotiable instruments or other
writings, if any, as the Bank shall request to be executed and delivered to it
for the purpose of evidencing said indebtedness or any part thereof, and in that
case negotiable instruments or other writings shall either be payable to the
Bank or delivered to the Bank or, if payable to any Creditor, shall be endorsed
and/or assigned by such Creditor and delivered to the Bank.  In the
event of the failure of Creditors to endorse said negotiable instruments or
other writings, if payable to such Creditor or to Creditor's order, the Bank, or
any officer or employee thereof, is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed
attorney in fact for Creditors with full power to make such
endorsement.

    

    5.           Creditors
waive any and all notice of the acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation
or accrual of any said Obligations, or of any renewals or extensions thereof
from time to time, or of the reliance of the Bank on this Agreement, and
consents that the liability of Debtor or of any other party for or upon said
Obligations may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,
modified, accelerated, compromised, settled or released by the Bank, and that
any collateral security and liens for said Obligations may, from time to time,
in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised,
settled or released by the Bank, and that any collateral security and liens for
said Obligations may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be exchanged,
sold, released or surrendered by the Bank, and that any deposit balance or
balances to the credit of Debtor with the Bank may, from time to time, in whole
or in part, be surrendered or released by the Bank, all as the Bank may deem
advisable, and all without impairing the subordination contained in this
Agreement.

    

    6.           Creditors
and Debtor agree that if, after the satisfaction of all of said Obligations and
prior to the termination of this Agreement as hereinafter provided, Debtor
thereafter becomes liable to the Bank on account of any new Obligations, the
Bank may presume that Claims have not been paid nor reduced, nor has any
Creditor received any security therefore, and this Agreement of subordination
and security agreement shall thereupon become effective with respect to any
Claims then in existence or thereafter created, without the necessity of any
further act, agreement or writing by or between Creditors or Debtor or the Bank,
the intent being that this be a continuing agreement of subordination and
security agreement.  Additionally, should Creditors have received any
payment or security on account and before the termination of this Agreement as
hereinafter provided, Creditors will notify the Bank, in writing, of the receipt
thereof.  In the event that Creditors fail if a default occurs with
respect to the payment or performance of any of the terms of such new
Obligations, Creditors will immediately pay to the Bank an amount equivalent to
any such payment or the value of such security received.

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
        58

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    
 

    7.           This
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the death or
incapacity of Creditors and shall be binding upon each Creditor and such
Creditor’s estate and the personal representatives, heirs and successors and
assigns of each Creditor, and the Bank may continue to act in reliance upon this
Agreement until actual receipt by the Bank of written notice from such Creditor,
or, in the event of Creditor’s death, from the legal representative or
representatives of such deceased Creditor, of the termination of this
Agreement.  Creditor or Creditor’s estate shall nevertheless remain
bound hereunder with respect to such obligations and any renewals, extensions or
liabilities arising out of same and this Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect and the Bank shall have all of the rights herein provided for as if
no such termination had occurred.

    

    8.           Debtor
hereby agrees that it will render to the Bank, upon demand, from time to time, a
statement of the account of each Creditor with Debtor; that the Bank shall have
access, from time to time, to its books and records in order that the Bank may
make full and free examination of the state of the accounts of each Creditor
with Debtor, (with the right to make copies thereof); and that Debtor will duly
comply with and perform each and every term of this Agree­ment on its part
required to be performed.  Debtor and Creditors agree that their books
and records will appropriately show that said Claims are subject to this
Agreement of subordination and security agreement.

    

    9.           In
the event of a breach by either Debtor or a Creditor in the performance of any
of the terms of this Agreement, all of said Obligations to the Bank shall,
without notice or demand, become immediately due and payable.  Upon
the happening of any such event and at any time thereafter, the Bank shall have,
in addition to all other rights and remedies, the remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code.

    

    10.           It
is understood and further agreed by all of the parties hereto and by the Bank
that this Agreement shall supersede and take the place of any and all prior
agreements of subordination and/or assignment relating to said Claims executed
by Debtor and Creditors in favor of the Bank.

    

    11.           Creditors
and Debtor, in any litigation (whether or not arising out of or relating to said
Claims or any of the matters contained in this Agreement) in which the Bank and
Creditors and/or Debtor shall be adverse parties, WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY and
Creditors and Debtor in addition, waive the right to interpose any defense based
upon any Statute of Limitations or any claim of laches and any set-off or
counterclaim of any nature or description.  Creditors and Debtor agree
that whenever any attorney is used to collect or enforce Claims, or to enforce,
declare or adjudicate any rights of Obligations under this agreement, whether by
suit or by any other means whatsoever, an attorney’s fee of 15% of the principal
and interest then due on Claims shall be payable by each of Creditors or Debtor
against whom this agreement, or any Obligation or right hereunder, is sought to
be enforced, declared or adjudicated.

     

     

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
        59

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    
 

    12.           The
term “Debtor” or the terms “Creditor” or “Creditors” as used throughout this
instrument shall include the individual or individuals, association, partnership
or corporation named herein as Debtor or Creditors and (a) any successor
individual or individuals, associa­tion, partnership or corporation to which
all or substantially all of the business or assets of either of them shall have
been transferred; (b) in case of a partnership Debtor or Creditors, any general
or limited partnership which shall have been created by reason of, or continued
after dissolution, the admission of any new partner or partners therein, or the
death, resignation, or other withdrawal of any partner, and (c) in the case of a
corporate Debtor or Creditors, any other corporation into or with which either
Debtor or Creditors shall have been merged, consolidated, reorganized or
absorbed.

    

    13.           No
waiver shall be deemed to be made by the Bank of any of its rights hereunder
unless same shall be in writing, and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only
with respect to the specific instance involved, and no such waiver shall be
deemed to establish a course of conduct.

    

    14.           This
Agreement may not be changed orally and no executory agreement shall be
effective to change or modify or to discharge, in whole or in part, this
Agreement unless such executory agreement is in writing and is signed by the
Bank.

    

    15.           Any
notice to the Bank shall be deemed effective only if sent to and received by the
Bank at its address at 511 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10017.  Any
notice to Creditors or Debtor shall be deemed sufficient if sent to Creditor or
Debtor to the last known address of Creditors or Debtor, as the case may be,
appearing on the records of the Bank.

    

    16.           Any
provision hereof which may prove unenforceable under any law shall not affect
the validity of any other provision hereof.

    

    17.           This
Agreement shall be binding upon the undersigned and the legal representatives,
successors and assigns of the undersigned and shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

    

    IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused these presents to be
properly executed in one or more counterparts the day and year first above
written, intending and declaring this to be a duly sealed
instrument.
