SECTION 2.8 Payment Procedures.
 
(a) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to charge the Loan Account with the amount of all principal, interest, fees, expenses and other payments to be made hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

The term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed three hundred sixty days from the date of issuance, subject to renewal in accordance with the terms thereof, but in no event to a date beyond the Expiration Date. All Letters of Credit shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.4, and a sum equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be included in calculating outstanding amounts for purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.4. Upon each drawing or payment under a Letter of Credit, the amount of such drawing or payment for all purposes under this Agreement shall become and be deemed to be, without any further action on the part of any Person, a Loan made by the Lender on the date of such drawing or payment (but without any requirement for compliance with the conditions precedent to the making of Loans contained in this Agreement).
 
(b) Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a written notice no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) at least ten Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Lender) in advance of the proposed date of issuance of a letter of credit request substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G (a “Letter of Credit Request”). The transmittal by the Borrower of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with and will not violate any of the requirements of this Section 2.9. Prior to the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall provide to the Lender a precise description of the documents and the text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit which, if presented by such beneficiary on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, would require the issuing bank to make payment under such Letter of Credit. The Lender, in its reasonable judgment, may require changes in any such documents and certificates. No Letter of Credit shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder prior to the second Business Day after the date on which such draft is presented.
 
-24-

 
(c) Upon any request for a drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Lender for a Loan on the date on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and (ii) without regard to satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 and the other terms and conditions of borrowings contained herein, the Lender shall, on the date of such drawing, make a Loan comprised of a Base Rate Advance in the amount of such drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Lender to reimburse the issuing bank for the amount of such drawing or payment.
 
(d) As between the Borrower and the Lender, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of the Lender and the issuing bank (other than for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender or such issuing bank) or misuse of the Letters of Credit by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Lender shall not be responsible (i) for the accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under such Letters of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged, (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (iii) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher, (iv) for errors in interpretation of technical terms, (v) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof, (vi) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, of the proceeds of any drawing honored under such Letter of Credit, and (vii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the issuing bank or the Lender, provided that the foregoing shall not release the Lender or the issuing bank for any liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender, shall not create any liability of the Lender to the Borrower.
 
-25-

 
(e) The obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Lender for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (the “Letter of Credit Related Documents”); (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), the Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (v) failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of any drawing; or (vi) that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

For purposes of this Agreement, any property in which the Lender or any such Affiliate has any security or title retention interest shall be deemed to be in the custody of the Lender or of such Affiliate. The security interest granted in Section 3.1 shall be deemed to be in favor of the Lender for the benefit of itself and any Affiliate of the Lender to which the Borrower owes any Obligations.
 
-26-

 
SECTION 3.3 Recourse to Security. Recourse to security shall not be required for any Obligation hereunder and the Borrower hereby waives any requirement that the Lender exhaust any right or take any action against any of the Collateral before proceeding to enforce the Obligations against the Borrower.
 
SECTION 3.4 Special Provisions Relating to Inventory.
 
(a) All Inventory. The security interest in the Inventory granted to the Lender hereunder shall continue through all steps of manufacture and sale and attach without further act to raw materials, work in process, finished goods, returned goods, documents of title and warehouse receipts, and to proceeds resulting from the sale or other disposition of such Inventory. Until all of the Obligations have been satisfied, all Letters of Credit have been terminated or Collateralized and the Lender has no obligation to make Loans or to cause Letters of Credit to be issued hereunder, the Lender’s security interest in such Inventory and in all proceeds thereof shall continue in full force and effect and the Lender shall have, in its sole and absolute discretion at any time if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the Lender believes that fraud has occurred, the right to take physical possession of such Inventory and to maintain it on the premises of the Borrower, in a public warehouse, or at such other place as the Lender may deem appropriate. If the Lender exercises such right to take possession of such Inventory, the Borrower will, upon demand, and at the Borrower’s cost and expense, assemble such Inventory and make it available to the Lender at a place or places convenient to the Lender.
 
(b) Location of Inventory; Cash Sales.

If sales are made for cash, the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Lender the checks or other forms of payment which it receives, together with any necessary endorsements.
 
(c) Further Assurances. The Borrower will perform any and all steps that the Lender may request to perfect the Lender’s security interests in the Borrower’s Inventory including, without limitation, placing and maintaining signs, executing and filing financing or continuation statements in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, maintaining stock records and conducting lien searches. In each case, the Borrower shall take such action as promptly as possible after requested by the Lender but in any event within five Business Days after any such request is made except that the Borrower shall take such action immediately upon the Lender’s request following the occurrence of an Event of Default. If any of the Borrower’s Inventory is in the possession or control of any Person other than a purchaser in the ordinary course of business or a public warehouseman where the warehouse receipt is in the name of or held by the Lender, the Borrower shall notify such Person of the Lender’s security interest therein and, upon request, instruct such Person to acknowledge in writing its agreement to hold all such Inventory for the benefit of the Lender and subject to the Lender’s instructions. If so requested by the Lender, the Borrower (as promptly as possible after requested by the Lender but in any event within five Business Days after any such request is made) will deliver (i) to the Lender warehouse receipts, bills of lading and other documents of title covering any of the Borrower’s Inventory showing the Lender as the beneficiary thereof and (ii) to the warehouseman such agreements relating to the release of warehouse Inventory as the Lender may request. A physical verification of all of the Borrower’s Inventory wherever located will be taken by the Borrower at least every twelve months and, in any case, as often as reasonably requested by the Lender and a copy of such physical verification shall be promptly thereafter submitted to the Lender. The Borrower shall also submit to the Lender a report of the annual physical Inventory of the Borrower as observed and tested by its public accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and GAAP. If so requested by the Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a confirmatory written instrument, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, listing all its Inventory, but any failure to execute or deliver the same shall not limit or otherwise affect the Lender’s security interest in and to such Inventory.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or at any time that the Lender believes that fraud has occurred, the Lender may (i) settle or adjust disputes or claims directly with account debtors for amounts and upon terms which it considers advisable and (ii) notify account debtors on the Borrower’s Receivables that such Receivables have been assigned to the Lender, and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Lender. Where the Borrower receives collateral of any kind or nature by reason of transactions between itself and its customers or account debtors, the Borrower will hold the same on the Lender’s behalf, subject to the Lender’s instructions, and as property forming part of the Borrower’s Receivables. Where the Borrower sells goods or services to a customer which also sells goods or services to it or which may have other claims against it, the Borrower will so advise the Lender immediately to permit the Lender to establish a reserve therefor. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Lender, or any Person the Lender may designate, as its attorney-in-fact, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to exercise, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the Lender believes that fraud has occurred, all of the following powers, which being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full in cash: (A) to receive, take, endorse, sign, assign and deliver, all in the name of the Lender or the Borrower, any and all checks, notes, drafts, and other documents or instruments relating to the Collateral; (B) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to the Borrower and to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as the Lender may designate; and (C) to take or bring, in the name of the Lender or the Borrower, all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by the Lender necessary or desirable to enforce or effect collection of the Borrower’s Receivables or file and sign the Borrower’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any obligor of the Borrower.

The Borrower shall remain liable to the Lender for any deficiencies, and the Lender in turn agrees to remit to the Borrower or its successor or assign any surplus resulting therefrom. All of the Lender’s remedies under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, may be exercised simultaneously against any Collateral and either Loan Party or in such order and with respect to such Collateral or such Loan Party as the Lender may deem desirable, and are not intended to be exhaustive.
 
SECTION 9.6 Waivers.

The Borrower also waives any damages (direct, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of the Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document including the taking of possession of any Collateral or the giving of notice to any account debtor or the collection of any Receivable of the Borrower. The Borrower also consents that the Lender may enter upon any premises owned by or leased to it without obligations to pay rent or for use and occupancy, through self-help, without judicial process and without having first obtained an order of any court. These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated by the parties, and the Borrower acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice, has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder and has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the result of arm’s-length negotiations.

SECTION 11.5 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by the Lender and the Loan Parties party thereto, and then any such amendment or waiver shall be effective only to the extent set forth therein.
 
SECTION 11.6 Counterparts; Telecopied Signatures. This Agreement and any waiver or amendment hereto may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by telecopier or other facsimile transmission all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart.
 
SECTION 11.7 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
 
SECTION 11.8 Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the parties hereto hereby agree that all agreements between them under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to the Borrower and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the maximum non-usurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the Obligations, under the laws of the State of New York (or the laws of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), or under applicable federal laws which may presently or hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum non-usurious interest rate than under the laws of the State of New York (or such other jurisdiction), in any case after taking into account, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all relevant payments or charges under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith, and any available exemptions, exceptions and exclusions (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such circumstance the Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness, until payment in full thereof, so that the actual rate of interest on account of all such Indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of such Indebtedness. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other agreements between the parties hereto.

SECTION 11.9 Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns; Interpretation. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties, supersede any prior written and verbal agreements between them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and shall bind and benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly drafted, and no provision of it shall be interpreted or construed for or against a party because such party purportedly prepared or requested such provision, any other provision, or this Agreement as a whole.
 
SECTION 11.10 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. THE LENDER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) FOR LOSSES SUFFERED BY THE BORROWER IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS OR RELATIONSHIPS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, UNLESS IT IS DETERMINED BY A FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT OR COURT ORDER BINDING ON THE LENDER THAT THE LOSSES WERE THE RESULT OF ACTS OR OMISSIONS CONSTITUTING GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE LENDER. THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ALL FUTURE CLAIMS AGAINST THE LENDER FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF THE LENDER’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, INTERNATIONAL PLAYTHINGS, INC., a New Jersey Corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of CitiCapital Commercial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Lender”), on the Expiration Date, at the Lender’s office at 450 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, New York 10528 or at such other location as the Lender may from time to time designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal amount equal to the lesser of (a) THIRTEEN MILLION DOLLARS ($13,000,000) and (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to the Borrower under Section 2.1(a) of the Loan Agreement (as defined below).
 
The Borrower further promises to pay interest in like money and funds to the Lender at the aforementioned address (or at such other location as the Lender may from time to time designate in writing) on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding from and including the date hereof until paid in full (both before and after judgment and both before and after the occurrence of an Event of Default) at the rates and on the dates determined in accordance with, and calculated in the manner set forth in, Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) between the Borrower and the Lender.
 
Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement) and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest due hereunder.
 
This Note is the Note referred to in the Loan Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefit of all terms and conditions of, and the security of all security interests, liens and rights granted under or in connection with, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and is subject to optional and mandatory prepayment as provided therein. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the Events of Default specified in the Loan Agreement, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note may be declared to be or may automatically become immediately due and payable as provided in the Loan Agreement.
 
The Borrower acknowledges that the holder of this Note may assign, transfer or sell all or a portion of its rights and interests in, to and under this Note to one or more Persons as provided in the Loan Agreement and that such Persons shall thereupon become vested with all of the rights and benefits of the Lender in respect hereof as to all or that portion of this Note which is so assigned, transferred or sold.

This Note may not be changed or modified orally, but only by an agreement in writing, which is signed by the party or parties against whom enforcement of any waiver, change or modification is sought.
 
THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
