(a) The Borrower may repay all or any portion of the principal balance of the Loan Account from time to time until the Termination Date.

(d) The Lender shall endeavor to cause the application of payments (if any), pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) against Libor Loans then outstanding in such manner as results in the least cost to the Borrower, but shall have no liability on account of the Lender’s failure to have done so. In no event shall action or inaction taken by the Lender excuse the Borrower from any indemnification obligation under Section 2.11(e).

(e) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and hold the Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss of anticipated profits and amounts payable by the Lender on account of “breakage fees” (so-called)) which the Lender may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, by virtue of acceleration after the occurrence of any Event of Default) as a consequence of the following:

(ii) Default by the Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a request for a Revolving Credit Loan or a request to convert a Revolving Credit Loan from one applicable interest rate to another.

2.12. Interest on Revolving Credit Loans.

(a) Each Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest at the Prime Margin Rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans, unless timely notice is given (as provided in Section 2.6) that the subject Revolving Credit Loan (or a portion thereof) is, or is to be converted to, a Libor Loan.

(b) Each Revolving Credit Loan which consists of a Libor Loan shall bear interest at the Libor Rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans.

(c) Subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may cause all or a part of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Account to bear interest at the Prime Margin Rate or the Libor Rate as specified from time to time by the Borrower by notice to the Lender.

(d) For ease of reference and administration, each part of the Loan Account which bears interest at the same rate of interest and for the same Interest Period is referred to herein as if it were a separate “Revolving Credit Loan.”

(e) The Borrower shall not select, renew, or convert any interest rate for a Revolving Credit Loan such that, in addition to interest at the Prime Margin Rate, there are more than Three (3) Libor Rates applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans at any one time.

(f) The Borrower shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on each Revolving Credit Loan in arrears as follows:

(i) On the applicable Interest Payment Date for that Revolving Credit Loan.

(ii) On the Termination Date and on the End Date.

(g) (Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (and whether or not the Lender exercises the Lender’s rights on account thereof), all Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest, at the option of the Lender, at rate which is the aggregate of the rate applicable to Prime Margin Loans plus Two Percent (2%) per annum.

2.13. Closing Fee.

In consideration of the commitment to make loans and advances to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit, and to maintain sufficient funds available for such purpose, there has been earned and the Borrower shall pay on or before the Closing Date the “Closing Fee” (so referred to herein) in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter.

In addition to any other fee to be paid by the Borrower on account of the Revolving Credit, the Borrower shall pay the Lender the “Unused Line Fee” (so referred to herein) of 0.25% per annum of the average difference, during the month just ended (or relevant period with respect to the payment being made on the Termination Date) between the Revolving Credit Ceiling and the aggregate of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Account and the undrawn Stated Amount of L/C’s outstanding during the relevant period. The Unused Line Fee shall be paid in arrears, on the first day of each month after the execution of this Agreement and on the Termination Date.

2.15. Service Fee.

In addition to any other fee to be paid by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall pay the Lender a “Service Fee” (so referred to herein) in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter each month on the first day of each calendar month.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender will have suffered damages on account of the early termination of the Revolving Credit and that, in view of the difficulty in ascertaining the amount of such damages, that the Early Termination Fee constitutes reasonable compensation and liquidated damages to compensate Lender on account thereof.

2.17. Lender’s Discretion.

(a) Each reference in the Loan Documents to the exercise of discretion or the like by the Lender shall be to such Person’s exercise of its judgment, in good faith (which shall be presumed), based upon such information of which that Person then has actual knowledge.

(b) In the exercise of such discretion, the following may be taken into account:

(i) The reasonable anticipation of an adverse change to the value of the Collateral; the enforceability of the Lender’s Collateral Interests therein; or the amount which the Lender would likely realize therefrom (taking into account delays which may possibly be encountered in the Lender’s realizing upon the Collateral and likely Costs of Collection).

(ii) The content, completeness, and accuracy of any report or financial information delivered to the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and the manner by which such report or financial information was prepared.

(iii) The existence of circumstances which suggest an increase in the likelihood that the Borrower may become the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding.

(iv) The existence of circumstances that suggest that the Borrower is In Default.

(c) In the exercise of such discretion, the Lender also may take into account any of the following factors to the extent that they have a material bearing on credit risks associated with the providing of loans and financial accommodations to the Borrower:

(i) Those included in, or tested by, the definitions of “Eligible Credit Card Receivables,” “Eligible Inventory” and “Cost.”

(d) The burden of establishing the failure of the Lender to have acted in a reasonable manner in such Person’s exercise of such discretion shall be the Borrower’s and may be made only by clear and convincing evidence.

2.18. Procedures For Issuance of L/C’s.

(a) The Borrower may request that the Lender cause the issuance by the Issuer of L/C’s for the account of the Borrower. Each such request shall be in such manner as may from time to time be acceptable to the Lender.

(b) The Lender will endeavor to cause the issuance of any L/C so requested by the Borrower, provided that, at the time that the request is made, the Revolving Credit has not been suspended as provided in Section 2.7 and if so issued:

(ii) The expiry of the L/C is not later than the earlier of Thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date or the following:

(e) The Borrower shall reimburse the Issuer for the amount of any honoring of a drawing under an L/C on the same day on which such honoring takes place.

Such advance shall be made whether or not the Borrower is In Default or such advance would result in an OverLoan. Such action shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s rights under Section 2.11(b).

2.19. Fees For L/C’s.

The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a fee, on account of L/C’s, the issuance of which had been procured by the Lender, monthly in arrears, and on the Termination Date and on the End Date, equal to the weighted average Stated Amount of all L/C’s outstanding during the period in respect of which such fee is being paid multiplied by (i) the Libor Margin with respect to stand-by L/C’s, and (ii) the Libor Margin minus One-half percent (.50%) with respect to documentary L/C’s, except that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, such fee shall be increased by two percent (2%) per annum.

(b) If any change in Applicable Law shall either:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements against letters of credit heretofore or hereafter issued by any Issuer or with respect to which the Lender or any Issuer has an obligation to lend to fund drawings under any L/C; or

(ii) impose on any Issuer any other condition or requirements relating to any such letters of credit;

and the result of any event referred to in Section 2.19(b)(i) or 2.19(b)(ii), shall be to increase the cost to the Lender or to any Issuer of issuing or maintaining any L/C (which increase in cost shall be the result of such Issuer’s reasonable allocation among the Lender’s or Issuer’s letter of credit customers of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such events), then, upon demand by the Lender and delivery by the Lender to the Borrower of a certificate of an officer of the Lender or the subject Issuer describing such change in law, executive order, regulation, directive, or interpretation thereof, its effect on the Lender or such Issuer, and the basis for determining such increased costs and their allocation, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, such amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Lender or the subject Issuer for such increased cost. The Lender’s or any Issuer’s determination of costs incurred under Section 2.19(b)(i) or 2.19(b)(ii), and the allocation, if any, of such costs among the Borrower and other letter of credit customers of the Lender or such Issuer, if done in good faith and made on an equitable basis and in accordance with such officer’s certificate, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.
