The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances outstanding at any time in excess of the maximum amount of Revolving Advances permitted hereunder shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred. 2.7 Statement of Account. The Lender shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account ("Borrower's Account") in the name of the Borrower and in the form attached as Schedule A to the Note, in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Revolving Advance made by the Lender and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by the Lender to record the date and amount of any Revolving Advance shall not adversely affect the Lender. Each fiscal quarter, the Lender shall send to the Borrower a statement showing the accounting for the Revolving Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between the Lender and the Borrower during such quarter. The quarterly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon the Borrower in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between the Lender and the Borrower unless the Lender receives a written statement of the Borrower's specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by the Borrower. The records of the Lender with respect to the loan account shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amounts of Revolving Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto. 2.8 Additional Payments. Any sums expended by the Lender due to the Borrower's failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any other document may be charged to Borrower's Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations. 2.9 Manner of Payment.

Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the Obligations shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum (the "Default Rate"). 3.2 Computation of Interest and Fees.

In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by the Borrower, and if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, the Lender shall promptly refund such excess amount to the Borrower and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. 3.4 Increased Costs. In the event that any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any financial, monetary or other authority, shall: (a) subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any Loan Document (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income the Lender by the jurisdiction in which it maintains its principal office); or (b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of the Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Revolving Advances hereunder by an amount that the Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Revolving Advances by an amount that the Lender deems to be material, -9- then, in any case the Borrower shall promptly pay the Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate the Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be.

(d) Borrower (either itself or through licensees) will, for each Mark, (i) to the extent consistent with past practice and good business judgment, continue to use such Mark on each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its current line as reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price lists in order to maintain such Mark in full force and effect free from any claim of abandonment for nonuse, (ii) maintain as in the past the quality of products and services offered under such Mark, (iii) employ such Mark with the appropriate notice of registration and (iv) not (and not permit any licensee or sublicensee to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Mark material to the conduct of its business may become invalidated. (e) Borrower (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Patent material to the conduct of its business may become abandoned or dedicated. (f) Borrower will notify Lender immediately if it knows or has reason to know that any Intellectual Property material to the conduct of its business may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding before any governmental person) regarding Borrower's ownership of any Intellectual Property material to its business, its right to copyright, patent or register the same (as the case may be), or its right to keep, use and maintain the same. (g) Borrower will take all necessary steps that are consistent with good business practices in any proceeding before any appropriate governmental person to maintain and pursue each application relating to any Intellectual Property (and to obtain the relevant registrations) and to maintain each registration material to the conduct of its business, including payment of maintenance fees, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings. (h) If any Intellectual Property material to the conduct of its business is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, Borrower will notify Lender within (10) days after it learns of such event and will, if consistent with good business practice, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, seek temporary restraints and preliminary injunctive -15- relief to the extent practicable, seek to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution and take such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Collateral. (i) Borrower will, through counsel acceptable to Lender, prosecute diligently any application for any Intellectual Property pending as of the date of this Agreement or thereafter made until the termination of this Agreement, make application on uncopyrighted but copyrightable material, unpatented but patentable inventions and unregistered but registerable Marks and preserve and maintain all rights in applications for any Intellectual Property; provided, however, that Borrower shall have no obligation to make any such application if making such application would be unnecessary or imprudent in the good faith business judgment of Borrower. Any expenses incurred in connection with such an application shall be borne by Borrower. Borrower will not abandon any right to file an application for any Intellectual Property or any pending such application in the United States without the consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (j) Lender will have the right but not the obligation to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Copyrights, Patents and Marks and any license under such Intellectual Property, in which event Borrower will, at the request of Lender, do any and all lawful acts and execute and deliver any and all proper documents required by Lender in aid of such enforcement action. 6.13 Required Vote; Board Approval.

The Board of Directors of Borrower shall be permitted to (i) not recommend to the Borrower's shareholders that they give the Borrower Shareholder Approval or (ii) withdraw or modify in a manner materially adverse to Lender the Borrower Recommendation, only if the Board of Directors of Borrower by a majority vote determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that it is necessary to so -16- withdraw or modify the Borrower Recommendation to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. 6.15 Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower will use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, including (i) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings, tax ruling requests and other documents and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits, tax rulings and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any governmental entity in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) taking all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain all such material consents, waivers, licenses, registrations, permits, authorizations, tax rulings, orders and approvals, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any governmental entity vacated or reversed. 6.16 Certain Filings (a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than 30 days after the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") for the purpose of obtaining the Borrower Shareholder Approval.

Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing and permitting Lender (acting through any of its employees, attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without notice to Borrower, and at Borrower's expense, to do any or all of the following, in Borrower's name or otherwise, but Lender agrees to exercise the following powers in a commercially reasonable manner: (a) Execute on behalf of Borrower any documents that Lender may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Lender's security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of Borrower or Lender, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other present and future agreements; (b) Execute on behalf of Borrower any document exercising, transferring or assigning any option to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of or to lease (as lessor or lessee) any real or personal property which is part of Lender's Collateral or in which Lender has an interest; (c) Execute on behalf of Borrower, any invoices relating to any Receivable, any draft against any Account Debtor and any notice to any Account Debtor, -22- any proof of claim in bankruptcy, any Notice of Lien, claim of mechanic's materialman's or other lien, or assignment or satisfaction of mechanic's materialman's or other lien; (d) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of Borrower upon any instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into Lender's possession; (e) Endorse all checks and other forms of remittances received by Lender; (f) Pay, consent or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest and adverse claim in or to any of the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (g) Grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Receivables and General Intangibles for less than face value and execute all releases and other documents in connection therewith; (h) Pay any sums required on account of Borrower's taxes or to secure the release of any liens therefor, or both; (i) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance claim that relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (j) Instruct any third party having custody or control of any books or records belonging to, or relating to, Borrower to give Lender the same rights or access and other rights with respect thereto as Lender has under this Agreement; and (k) Take any action or pay any sum required of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and any other present or future agreements. Any and all sums paid and any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Lender (including attorneys' fees and expenses incurred pursuant to bankruptcy) with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations, and shall be payable upon demand. Lender may charge the foregoing to Borrower's loan account and the foregoing shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate applicable to the Receivable Revolving Advances.

This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 11.1 Interest Computation. In computing interest on the Obligations, all checks, wire transfers and other items of payment received by Lender (including proceeds of Receivables and payment of the Obligations in full) shall be deemed applied by Lender on account of the Obligations upon receipt by Lender of immediately available funds, and, for purposes of the foregoing, any such funds received after 10:30 a.m. Central Standard Time, on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Lender shall not however, be required to credit Borrower's account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, and Lender may charge Borrower's loan account for the amount of any time of payment which is returned to Lender unpaid. 11.2 Application of Payments. All payments with respect to the obligations may be applied, and in Lender's sole discretion reversed and re-applied, to the Obligations, in such order and manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. 11.3 Charges to Accounts. Lender may, in its discretion, require that Borrower pay monetary Obligations in cash to Lender, or charge them to Borrower's Revolving Advance account, in which event they will bear interest from the date due to the date paid at the same rate applicable to the Revolving Advances. 11.4 Monthly Accountings. Lender shall provide Borrower monthly with an account of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to this Agreement. Such account shall be deemed correct accurate and binding on Borrower and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Lender), unless Borrower notifies Lender in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after each account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions. 11.5 Notices.

Should any provision of this Agreement be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void and unenforceable, such defect shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect. 11.7 Integration. This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents and instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire and complete agreement between Borrower and Lender and supersede all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of which are merged and integrated into this Agreement. There are no oral understandings, representations or agreements between the parties which are not set forth in this Agreement or in other written agreements signed by the parties in connection herewith. 11.8 Waivers. The failure of Lender at any time or time to require Borrower to strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other present or future agreement between Borrower and Lender shall not waive or diminish any right of Lender later to demand and receive strict compliance therewith. Any waiver of any Default shall not waive or affect any other Default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future executed by Borrower and delivered to Lender shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of Lender or its agents or employees, but only by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Lender and delivered to Borrower. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, instrument, account, General Intangibles, document or guaranty at any time held by Lender on -25- which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any action taken by Lender, unless expressly required by this Agreement. 11.9 No Liability for Ordinary Negligence. Neither Lender, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Persons affiliated with or representing Lender shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Lender, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated with or representing Lender, but nothing herein shall relieve Lender from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 11.10 Amendment.
