Lender shall have full power to collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name or in the name of such Borrower.

At its option, and without limiting any other rights or remedies, Lender may at any time, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pay or discharge any taxes, Liens or other encumbrances at any time levied against or placed on any of the Collateral, and may procure and pay any premiums on any insurance required to be carried by Borrowers, and provide for the maintenance and preservation of any of the Collateral, and otherwise take any action reasonably deemed necessary by Lender to protect its security, and all amounts expended by Lender in connection with any of the foregoing matters, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be considered Obligations of Borrowers and shall be secured hereby.
(f)    Each Loan Party does hereby make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Lender as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to endorse the name of such Loan Party or any of such Loan Party’s officers or agents upon any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under any policy of insurance on the Collateral) or Collateral that may come into possession of Lender in full or part payment of any amounts owing to Lender; to sign and endorse the name of such Loan Party or any of such Loan Party’s officers or agents upon any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and any instrument or documents relating thereto or to such Loan Party’s rights therein; to give written notice to such office and officials of the United States Post Office to effect such change or changes of address so that all mail addressed to such Loan Party may be delivered directly to Lender; granting upon such Loan Party’s said attorney full power to do any

18




and all things necessary to be done in and about the premises as fully and effectually as such Loan Party might or could do, and hereby ratifying all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Neither Lender nor the attorney shall be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistake, except for their gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and all transactions hereunder and thereafter as long as Loan Parties may be indebted to Lender. The foregoing notwithstanding, excepting only the endorsement of checks that come into the possession of Lender, Lender agrees not to exercise the foregoing power of attorney absent the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing.
12.    FINANCING STATEMENTS. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such Loan Party or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) contain any other information required by the Uniform Commercial Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether such Loan Party is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to such Loan Party, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted Collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates.

19




qualification which relates to the treatment or classification of any item and which, as a condition to the removal of such qualification, would require an adjustment to such item, the effect of which would be to cause any noncompliance with the financial covenants set forth in this Agreement), by such accountants to have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year or containing disclosure of the effect on financial condition or results of operations of any change in the application of accounting principles during the year (such audited financial statements to include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flow, and statement of shareholder’s equity, and, if prepared, such accountants’ letter to management); (iv) annually, at least thirty (30) days before the beginning of each fiscal year of Loan Parties, projections on a consolidated and consolidating basis of Loan Parties’ balance sheet, statement of profit and loss and cash flow for the next succeeding fiscal year, broken down on a month to month basis, such forecast to be updated to reflect the current forecast presented to Loan Parties’ board of directors, partners, members or managers; (v) within ten (10) days of the close of each month, (A) monthly aging of accounts receivable and accounts payable and inventory status reports in form, scope and substance satisfactory to Lender, and (B) a reconciliation of accounts receivable aging, trade accounts payable aging, and inventory perpetual of each Borrower to the general ledger and the monthly financial statements, including any book reserves related to each category; (vi) daily loan and collateral descriptions, including without limitation, sales, cash receipts and adjustments, in the form supplied by Lender to Borrowers; (vii) within ten (10) days after Loan Parties’ receipt, any management letter prepared by Loan Parties’ independent auditors; (viii) contemporaneously with the delivery to shareholders or governmental agencies, copies of all material reports relating to material financial information of Loan Parties delivered to shareholders or filed with governmental agencies; (ix) upon receipt, copies of all bank account statements for all bank accounts maintained by Loan Parties; (x) promptly upon Lender’s written request, (A) a detailed list of each Borrower’s customers, with address and contact information, and (B) such other information about the financial condition and operations of Loan Parties, as Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request; (xi) promptly after the occurrence thereof, notice of the cessation of the employment of Todd Phillips as Chief Financial Officer of ISA; and (xii) promptly upon becoming aware of any Event of Default, or the occurrence or existence of an event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, notice thereof in writing.

(a)    Each Loan Party agrees to keep all the Collateral insured with coverage and in amounts not less than that usually carried by one engaged in a like business and in any event not less than that required by Lender with lender loss payable and additional insured to Lender and such Loan Party, as their interests may appear. As further assurance for the payment and performance

20




of the Obligations, each Loan Party hereby assigns to Lender all sums, including returns of unearned premiums, which may become payable under any policy of insurance on the Collateral and such Loan Party hereby directs each insurance company issuing any such policy to make payment of such sums directly to Lender.
(b)    Each Borrower agrees that centralization of Borrower’s invoicing for all sales and records to Borrowers’ Principal Offices shall be ongoing at all times for the duration of this Agreement.

In addition, if Lender obtains an appraisal of the Eligible Equipment at any time as permitted under this Agreement, and such appraisal shows the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Equipment Sub-Line to exceed forty percent (40%) of the Net Forced Liquidation Value of the Eligible Equipment, then Lender may require Borrowers to immediately pay the unpaid principal of the Equipment Sub-Line in the amount or, at the option of Lender, Lender may establish a Borrowing Base Reserve in the amount of such excess.

(f)    Each Loan Party will pay all real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and all franchises, income, unemployment, old age benefits, withholding, sales and other taxes assessed against it, or payable by it at such times and in such manner as to prevent any penalty from accruing or any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) or charge from attaching to its property.
(g)    Lender may in its own name or in the name of others communicate with account debtors in order to verify with them to Lender’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any accounts.

(i)    If any of any Loan Party’s accounts should be evidenced by promissory notes, trade acceptances, or other instruments for the payment of money, such Loan Party will immediately deliver same to Lender, appropriately endorsed to Lender’s order and, regardless of the form of such endorsement, such Loan Party hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest and all other notices with respect thereto.
(j)    If any goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, the applicable Loan Party shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, if requested by Lender, shall promptly attempt to obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Lender and shall act upon the instructions of Lender, without the further consent of such Loan Party.

(k)    If any Loan Party is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Loan Party, such Loan Party shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, at the request and option of Lender, such Loan Party shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Lender of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit, or (ii) arrange for Lender to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with Lender agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be applied in the same manner as any other payment on an account.
(l)    If any Loan Party shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim, such Loan Party shall immediately notify Lender in a writing signed by such Loan Party of the brief details thereof and grant to Lender in such writing a Lien therein, and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.
(m)    Each Loan Party will promptly pay when due all taxes and assessments upon the Collateral or for its use or operation or upon this Agreement, or upon any note or notes evidencing the Obligations, and will, at the request of Lender, promptly furnish Lender the receipted bills therefor. Loan Parties agree to reimburse Lender on demand for any payments made, or any expenses incurred by Lender pursuant to the foregoing authorization, and upon failure of Loan Parties so to reimburse Lender, any such sums paid or advanced by Lender shall be deemed secured by the Collateral and constitute part of the Obligations.
(n)    Each Loan Party will:

ANY LOAN PARTY OR LENDER MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. Each Loan Party hereby certifies that neither Lender nor any of its representatives, agents or counsel has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Lender would not, in the event of any such suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce this waiver of right to trial by jury. Each Loan Party acknowledges that Lender has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, this waiver. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has read the provisions of this Agreement and in particular, this section; has consulted legal counsel; understands the right it is granting in this Agreement and is waiving in this section in particular; and makes the above waiver knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally.
20.    CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. Each Loan Party and Lender agree that any action or proceeding to enforce or arising out of this Agreement may be commenced in any court of the State of Connecticut or in the District Court of the United States for the District of Connecticut, and each Loan Party waives personal service of process and agree that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any such court shall be properly served and confer personal jurisdiction if served by registered or certified mail to Loan Party Representative, or as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Connecticut or the United States of America.
21.    TERMINATION.
(a)    Unless sooner terminated by Lender as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrowers’ eligibility to request loans hereunder shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue for a period through and including February 28, 2018 (the “Term”). If Borrowers desire to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term, Borrowers shall give at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to Lender of Borrowers’ intention to do so and shall pay to Lender the termination charge set forth below. Borrowers’ eligibility to request loans may be extended after the Term (and after any Renewal Term, as defined below) only with the express written consent of both Borrowers and Lender. Any such extension (and any further extension) shall be made only with the express written consent of both Borrowers and Lender (each being a “Renewal Term”). At the end of the Term (or at the end of a Renewal Term, if applicable), Borrowers shall pay the entire balance of the loans and all other outstanding Obligations. Further, upon termination of this Agreement, all of the rights, interests and remedies of Lender and Obligations of Borrowers shall survive and Borrowers shall have no right to receive, and Lender shall have no obligation to make, any further loans. Upon full, final and indefeasible payment of the Obligations to Lender, all rights and remedies of Borrowers and Lender hereunder shall cease, so long as any payment so made to Lender and applied to the Obligations is not thereafter recovered from or repaid by Lender in whole or in part in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding instituted by or against any Borrower, whereupon this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated without any further action by Borrowers and Lender and shall continue to be fully applicable to such Obligations to the same extent as though the payment so recovered or repaid had never been originally made on such Obligations.
(b)    If this Agreement is terminated by Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default or if Borrowers request that Lender terminate this Agreement, then Borrowers shall pay to Lender a termination fee in an amount equal to (i) $120,000 if the termination occurs

36




on or before the first anniversary of this Agreement; and (ii) $60,000 if the termination occurs after the first anniversary date of this Agreement but on or before the end of the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination fee shall be payable by Borrowers if, after the date that is eighteen (18) months after the date hereof, Borrowers terminate this Agreement and pay the Obligations in full with the initial proceeds of loans made under a loan facility provided to Borrowers by a financial institution insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
(c)    In the event that Borrowers desire to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term (or any Renewal Term, if applicable) and fails to deliver to Lender the sixty (60) day notice required pursuant to Section 21(a) above, Borrowers may nevertheless terminate this Agreement and pay the Obligations in full if it (i) pays the termination charge set forth in Section 21(b) above, and (ii) pays additional interest for each day that the notice was short of the required sixty (60) day notice, which interest shall be in an amount that is equal to the Default Rate based on Borrowers’ average borrowings under this Agreement for the two (2) month period prior to the date that Lender receives delivery of actual notice of Borrowers’ intention to terminate this Agreement.
22.    JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS.
(a)    The Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Borrower. Each Borrower expressly represents and warrants that it is part of a common enterprise and that any financial accommodations by Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are and will be of direct and indirect interest, benefit and advantage to Borrower.
(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligations of Borrowers shall not be affected by (i) the failure of Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any Lien in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of Lender.
(c)    The Obligations of Borrowers shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Borrowers or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Borrower as a matter of law or equity.

37




(d)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Borrower. Lender may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Borrower, or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any other Borrower, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder. Each Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Borrower against any other Borrower, as the case may be, or any security.
(e)    Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement. Upon payment by any Borrower of any Obligations, all rights of such Borrower against any other Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of Lender’s commitment to make Loans. In addition, any Indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by any other Borrower is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Borrower will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such Indebtedness.
23.    BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes ISA as its agent (in such capacity, the “Borrower Representative”) to request and receive loans pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents from Lender in the name or on behalf of such Borrower. Lender may disburse the loans to such bank account of Borrower Representative or a Borrower or otherwise make such loans to a Borrower, in each case as Borrower Representative may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender may at any time and from time to time require that loans be disbursed directly to an operating account of a Borrower or to any other Person. In addition, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Borrower Representative as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Lender with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
24.    MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)    No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. Waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All Lender’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced hereby or by any other agreement, instrument or paper, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

38




(b)    Lender is authorized to make loans under the terms of this Agreement upon the request, either written or oral, in the name of Borrowers by any authorized person whose name appears at the end of this Agreement or by any of the following named persons, from time to time, holding the following offices of Borrower Representative, President, Treasurer, Manager and such other officers and authorized signatories as may from time to time be set forth in separate resolutions.
(c)    This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that, no Loan Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. No consent to an assignment by Lender shall release any Borrower from its Obligations. Lender may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder and no consent or approval by any Loan Party is required in connection with any such assignment. Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in Lender’s rights and benefits hereunder. In connection with any assignment or participation, Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now or hereafter may have relating to Loan Parties or Loan Parties’ businesses. To the extent that Lender assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to another party, Lender thereafter shall be released from such assigned obligations to Loan Parties and such assignment shall effect a novation between any Loan Party and such other party.
(d)    Each Borrower agrees that any and all loans made by Lender to such Borrower or for its account under this Agreement shall be conclusively deemed to have been authorized by such Borrower and to have been made pursuant to duly authorized requests therefor on its behalf.
(e)    Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized words shall have the meanings set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Connecticut as of the date of this Agreement.
(f)    Paragraph and section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement. If one or more provisions of this Agreement (or the application thereof) shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the same shall not invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable such provision (or its application) in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Agreement (or its application). This Agreement is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior written or verbal communications or instruments relating thereto.
(g)    Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested ), overnight courier, or facsimile to Borrower Representative or to Lender, as the case may be, at its address set forth at the end of this Agreement.
The parties hereto may change the address at which they are to receive notices hereunder, by notice in writing in the foregoing manner given to the other. All notices or demand

39




sent in accordance with this section shall be deemed received on the earlier of the date of actual receipt or three (3) days after the deposit thereof in the mail.
(h)    Lender shall have no obligation to maintain any electronic records or any documents, schedules, invoices, agings or any other paper delivered to Lender by any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement for more than four (4) months after receipt of the same by Lender.
(i)    Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Lender or Loan Parties, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.
(j)    Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
(k)    This Agreement, together with the other documents and instruments executed concurrently herewith represent the entire and final understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by evidence of any prior, contemporaneous or subsequent other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.
(l)    This Agreement can only be amended by a writing signed by both Lender and Loan Parties.
(m)    Lender hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party and each other party to the transaction contemplated hereunder, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and each such other party and other information that will allow Lender to identify such Loan Party and each such other party in accordance therewith.
(n)    This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be effective upon delivery and, thereafter, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall be taken as one and the same instrument with the same effect as if each party hereto had signed on the same signature page. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal effect of any signature thereto and may be attached to another part of this Agreement identical in form hereto and having attached to it one or more additional signature pages. This Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile machine or by electronic mail in portable document format (“pdf”) and signatures appearing on faxed instruments and/or electronic mail instruments shall be treated as original signatures. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement, but the failure

40




to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect hereof.
(o)    The laws of the State of Connecticut shall govern the construction of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall take effect as a sealed instrument.
