Under no circumstances will Lender be required to make advances under any of the Loans if the aggregate unpaid balance of the Operating Note and/or the Holdco Operating Note (and any other of the Borrowing Base Notes) exceed the limits imposed by the applicable Borrowing Base Report, or if there is an existing Event of Default under this Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. If at any time the Sub-Total Obligations exceed the Sub-Total Borrowing Base then to the extent of the excess, a “Borrowing Base Deficit” exists and in that event, immediately upon any determination of a Borrowing Base Deficit, whether by notice from Lender or otherwise, Borrower will provide to Lender the plan (formulated by Borrower) to cure such Borrowing Base Deficit. In the event such plan to cure is acceptable to Lender (in its Permitted Discretion); Borrower may be permitted by Lender to cure the Borrowing Base Deficit as set forth in the plan approved by Lender. In the event Borrower’s plan to cure the Borrowing Base Deficit is not acceptable to Lender, Lender will be free to declare an Event of Default and proceed with any available remedy as a result of such Event of Default unless, within one (1) Business Day, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender in an amount equal to the Borrowing Base Deficit. For the avoidance of doubt, each Borrowing Base Deficit shall be determined on a Borrowing Base Note by Borrowing Base Note basis; and

(c) Without limiting Lender’s discretion, and regardless of anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that Lender may make such assumptions, considerations and exclusions as it deems appropriate in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion in calculating the Net Borrowing Base. Borrower further hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender in its evaluation of the Net Borrowing Base as set forth in the applicable Borrowing Base Report may consider such other credit factors as it deems appropriate in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion and based upon that discretion may make a redetermination of such Net Borrowing Base. Promptly following any redetermination by Lender of a Net Borrowing Base, Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount of such Net Borrowing Base as re-determined, which Net Borrowing Base shall be effective as of the date specified in such notice, and shall remain in effect for all purposes of this Credit Agreement.

(i) Borrower fails to pay or perform any other obligation, liability or indebtedness to any other Person which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and such failure continues for 30 days after Borrower’s receipt of notice thereof;

(j) The dissolution or termination of all Borrowers’ existence (provided that the dissolution or termination of Manitex International shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder whether or not any other Borrower dissolves or terminates its existence);

(k) Reserved;

(l) Reserved;

(m) There occurs a Change of Control; and

(n) There is entered against Borrower one or more final judgments or orders for the payment of money that is not covered by independent third-party insurance as to which the insurer does not unreasonably dispute coverage which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

9.2 Remedies for Defaults. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may, at its option, commence any remedy available under the Loan Documents or applicable law.

9.3 Right and Remedies with Respect to Collateral. In addition, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may, at its option: (a) take possession or control of, store, lease, operate, manage, sell, or instruct any Agent or Broker to sell or otherwise dispose of, all or any part of the Collateral; (b) notify all parties under any account or contract right forming all or any part of the Collateral to make any payments otherwise due to Borrower directly to Lender; (c) in Lender’s own name, or in the name of Borrower, demand, collect, receive, sue for, and give receipts and releases for, any and all amounts due under such accounts and contract rights; (d) endorse as the agent of Borrower any check, note, chattel paper, documents, or instruments forming all or any part of the Collateral; (e) make formal application for transfer to Lender (or to any assignee of Lender or to any purchaser of any of the Collateral) of all of Borrower’s permits, licenses, approvals, agreements, and the like relating to the Collateral or to Borrower’s business; (f) take any other action which Lender deems necessary or desirable to protect and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral; and (g) in addition to the foregoing, and not in substitution therefore, exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies exercisable by Lender under any other provision of this Credit Agreement, under any of the other Loan Documents, or as provided by applicable law. Lender shall not be liable for, nor be prejudiced by, any loss, depreciation, or other damages to the Collateral, unless caused by Lender’s willful and malicious act. Lender shall have no duty to take any action to preserve or collect the Collateral.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall be entitled to immediate possession of all books and records evidencing any Collateral and it or its representatives shall have the authority to enter upon any premises upon which any of the same, or any Collateral, may be situated and remove the same therefrom without liability. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may surrender any insurance policies in the Collateral and receive the unearned premium thereon. Borrower will be entitled to any surplus and will be liable to Lender for any deficiency. Borrower specifically understands and agrees that any sale by Lender of all or part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement may be effected by Lender at times and in manners that could result in the proceeds of such sale as being significantly and materially less than might have been received if such sale had occurred at different times or in different manners, and Borrower hereby releases Lender and its officers and representatives from and against any and all obligations and liabilities arising out of or related to the timing or manner of any such sale.

9.4 Proceeds. The proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral shall be used to satisfy the following items in the order they are listed: (a) The expenses of taking, removing, storing, repairing, holding, maintaining and selling the Collateral and otherwise enforcing the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents, including any legal costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees; (b) The expense of liquidating or satisfying any liens, security interests, or encumbrances on the Collateral which may be prior to the security interest of Lender that Lender, at its option, elects to satisfy; (c) Any unpaid fees, accrued interest and other sums due Lender with respect to Loan Documents, and then the unpaid principal amount of the Loans and any remaining Obligations outstanding; and (d) Any amounts in excess of the foregoing shall be paid to Borrower.

COMMERCIAL CREDIT AGREEMENT–Page 19 of 39

9.5 Deficiency. To the extent the proceeds realized from the disposition of the Collateral shall fail to satisfy any of the foregoing items, Borrower will remain liable to pay any deficiency to Lender.

9.6 Continuing Event of Default. Any Event of Default capable of being remedied will exist and therefore continue until Lender has been provided evidence satisfactory to it that the Event of Default has been remedied. Any Event of Default not capable of being remedied will exist and therefore continue until waived by Lender.

9.7 Selective Enforcement. Lender may elect to selectively, and successively, enforce its rights under the Loan Documents. In the event Lender elects to selectively enforce its rights under any one or more of the Loan Documents or other instruments securing payment of the Notes, the action will not be deemed a waiver or discharge of any other lien or encumbrances securing payment of the Notes until such time as Lender has been paid in full all sums owing to Lender.

9.8 Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial release by Lender of any right hereunder preclude any other or further right or the exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right provided under the Loan Documents or at law. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not alternative.

9.9 Waiver of Covenants. At the discretion of Lender, a fee may be charged for any waiver of any covenant provided by this Credit Agreement.

9.10 Performance by Guarantor. It shall not be deemed an Event of Default under this Credit Agreement as to any of the Borrower’s Obligations if such Obligations are paid or performed by any Person that is a guarantor of such Obligations.

X. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Expenses. Borrower hereby agrees to pay on demand: (a) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of, this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, advisors, consultants, and auditors for Lender, and Lender agrees that expenses of legal counsel will be limited to $35,000.00 in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith; (b) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of, any and all amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions, and supplements to this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection with any such amendment, modification, renewal, extension, and supplement; (c) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with any Event of Default and the enforcement of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of legal counsel, advisors, consultants, and auditors for Lender; (d) all transfer, stamp, documentary, or other similar taxes, assessments, or charges levied by any governmental authority in respect of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (which such costs, expenses, assessments and other charges are included within the foregoing $35,000.00 cap in subsection (a)); (e) all costs, expenses, assessments, and other charges actually incurred by Lender in connection with any filing, registration, recording, or perfection of any lien or security interest contemplated by this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (e) all other reasonable and documented costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, legal costs, fees and expenses) in connection with any litigation, dispute, suit, proceeding or action related to: (i) this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies; and (iii) the protection of Lender’s interests in bankruptcy, insolvency or other legal proceedings, including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, and other charges incurred in connection with evaluating, observing, collecting, examining, auditing, appraising, selling, liquidating, or otherwise disposing of the Collateral or other assets of Borrower, and Borrower agrees to promptly reimburse Lender for all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by Lender to satisfy any obligation of Borrower under this Credit Agreement or any Collateral Document.

10.2 Lender Not Fiduciary. The relationship between Borrower, on one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

COMMERCIAL CREDIT AGREEMENT–Page 20 of 39

10.3 Equitable Relief. Borrower recognizes that in the event Borrower fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of Borrower’s Obligations or indebtedness to Lender, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender. Borrower therefore agrees that Lender shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

10.4 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Credit Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Credit Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

10.5 Successors and Assigns. This Credit Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and the Affiliates of Lender that are owed Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.

10.6 Survival. All representations and warranties made in any Loan Document or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with any Loan Document will survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and no investigation by Lender or any closing will affect the representations and warranties or the right of Lender to rely upon them.

10.7 Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document to which Borrower is a party, nor any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom will in any event be effective unless the same is agreed or consented to in writing by Lender, any participating banks, or associations, and Borrower; and each such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

10.8 Maximum Interest Rate. (a) No interest rate specified in any Loan Document will at any time exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If at any time the interest rate for any Obligation will exceed the Maximum Rate, thereby causing the interest accruing on the Obligation to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the interest rate for the Obligation will not reduce the rate of interest on the Obligation below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on the Obligation equals the aggregate amount of interest that would have accrued on the Obligation if the interest rate for the Obligation had at all times been in effect; and (b) no provision of any Loan Document will require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in this such respect is hereby provided for, or will be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section will govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor any sureties, guarantor, successors, or assigns of Borrower will be obligated to pay the excess amount of the interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, the amount that would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law will be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the Obligations; and, if the principal of the Obligations has been paid in full, any remaining excess will forthwith be paid to Borrower for their account. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lender will, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest; (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

10.9 Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including by electronic mail transmission) and mailed or delivered, to the address or, subject to the last sentence hereof, electronic mail address specified for notices below the signatures hereon or to such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. All such other notices and other communications shall be deemed to have been given or made upon the earliest to occur of: (a) actual receipt by the intended recipient; or (b) (i) if delivered by hand or courier, when signed for by the designated recipient; (ii) if delivered by mail, three (3) Business Days after deposit in the mail, postage prepaid; and (iii) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of the last sentence below) when delivered; provided, however, that notices and other communications pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until actually received by Lender. Electronic mail and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information, and to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto and may not be used for any other purpose.

COMMERCIAL CREDIT AGREEMENT–Page 21 of 39

10.10 Participations and Assignments.

(a) Borrower may not assign any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Notes without the prior consent of Lender and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio.

(b) Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (including, at the option of Lender, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of Borrower) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. Any such assignment will become effective as of the date provided therein upon the execution and delivery to Lender of the assignment agreement and, if applicable, Borrower. Promptly after receipt of an executed assignment agreement, Lender shall send to Borrower a copy of such executed assignment agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to this Section, the assignee will become a “Lender” if not already a “Lender” for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents. The assignor shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder from and after the effective date thereof to the extent of such assignment (and if the assigning Lender (other than Amarillo National Bank) no longer holds any rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” hereunder). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any assignments permitted hereunder, Borrower shall only be required to deal with Amarillo National Bank.

(c) Lender may transfer, grant, or assign participations in all or any part of such Lender’s interests hereunder pursuant to this Section to any Person (including, at the option of Lender, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of Borrower). In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (the participant’s rights against the granting Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement with such Lender creating such participation), and all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(d) Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower in the possession of Lender from time to time to permitted assignees and participants (including prospective permitted assignees and participants) and Borrower hereby expressly consents to Lender’s disclosure of such information; provided, however, that prospective permitted assignees and participants shall agree to maintain such information in confidence.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, Lender may assign and pledge all or any of its interest in the Loans to any Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment and/or pledge shall release the assigning and/or pledging Lender from its obligations hereunder.

10.11 Governing Applicable Law; Venue. THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. Borrower hereby irrevocably: (a) agrees that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with any of the Loan Documents shall be brought in the applicable state court in Potter County, Texas, or in the United States District Court that encompasses such county; (b) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such action or proceeding; and (c) waives any objection it or they may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court or that any such court is an inconvenient forum.

10.12 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable will not impair or invalidate the remainder of any Loan Document and the effect thereof will be confined to the provision held to be invalid or unenforceable.

10.13 Headings. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in this Credit Agreement are for convenience only and will not affect the interpretation of this Credit Agreement.

COMMERCIAL CREDIT AGREEMENT–Page 22 of 39

10.14 Rules of Interpretation. In this Credit Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise: (a) the singular includes the plural and the plural the singular; (b) words importing any gender include the other gender; (c) any reference to a time of day means local time in Amarillo, Texas; (d) references to “writing” include printing, typing, lithography, facsimile reproduction, electronic mail, and other means of reproducing words in a tangible visible form; (e) the words “approval” and “consent” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “which will not be unreasonably withheld, unreasonably conditioned, or unduly delayed,” except when context otherwise requires; (f) the words “including,” “includes,” and “include” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;” (g) references to Articles, Sections, or Exhibits are to Articles, Sections, or Exhibits of or to this Credit Agreement unless otherwise indicated; (h) references to other documents will include all exhibits and appendices attached to those documents and all subsequent amendments and other modifications to those documents, but only to the extent the amendments and other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of this Credit Agreement; (i) references to Persons include their respective successors and permitted assigns; and (j) captions of Articles and Sections contained in this Credit Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit, extend, describe, or otherwise affect the scope of meaning of this Credit Agreement or the intent of any provision of this Credit Agreement.

10.15 Construction. Borrower and Lender acknowledge hereby that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review the Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that the Loan Documents will be construed as if jointly drafted by the parties thereto.

10.16 Accounting Terms and Financial Determinations. Unless otherwise specified herein as GAAP, all accounting terms used in any Loan Document will be interpreted, and all account determinations and computations under any Loan Document will be made in accordance with standard accounting procedures customarily used in the Borrower’s industry.

10.17 Independence of Covenants. All covenants under the Loan Documents will be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of the covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant will not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance with the applicable provision if the action is taken or the condition exists.

10.18 Waiver of Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waives any right they may have to claim or recover any punitive, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, or consequential damages, or any damages other than, or in addition to, direct or actual damages. In regard to such waiver, Borrower hereby acknowledges that as a result of such waiver it hereby agrees knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally to not assert, any claim against Lender, on any theory of liability, for recovery of any punitive, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, or consequential damages, or any damages other than, or in addition to, direct or actual damages, that in any manner arise out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Notes, or the use of the proceeds thereof.

10.19 Entire Credit Agreement. This written Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between Lender and the other parties to the loan documents concerning the subject matter contained in this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and supersede as of the date hereof all prior agreements between Lender and the other parties to the Loan Documents and may not be contracted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements among the parties.

10.20 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

10.21 Imaging of Loan Documents. Borrower understands and agrees that (a) Lender’s document retention policy may involve the electronic imaging of executed Loan Documents and the destruction of the paper originals, and (b) Borrower waives any right that they may have to claim that the imaged copies of this Credit Agreement, any amendment thereto, or of any of the other Loan Documents are not originals.

COMMERCIAL CREDIT AGREEMENT–Page 23 of 39

10.22 Notice of Final Agreement. THIS WRITTEN CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

10.23 Controlling Document. To the extent that a Loan Document conflicts with or is in any way incompatible with this Credit Agreement, the terms of this Credit Agreement shall control, and if this Credit Agreement does not specifically address an issue, then the Loan Document that deals most specifically with such issue shall control.

All determinations in connection with the Borrowing Base Report will be originally made by Borrower and certified to Lender. Lender, however, will have the final right to review and adjust, in its Permitted Discretion, any such determination, including without limitation, adjustment of any specific factor or factors that relate to the amount of the Borrowing Base Equity or to any categories in the Borrowing Base Report.

If at any time from and after the Effective Date, the “Sub-Total Obligations” exceed the “Sub-Total Borrowing Base”, Borrower will immediately notify Lender of such fact, and will immediately pay to Lender the amount necessary to reduce the aggregate unpaid balance of the Operating Note to or below the limit imposed by the Borrowing Base Report. Under no circumstances will Lender be required to make advances under any of the Loans if the aggregate unpaid balance of the Operating Note exceed the limits imposed by the Borrowing Base Report, or if there is an existing Event of Default under this Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. If at any time the Sub-Total Obligations exceed the Sub-Total Borrowing Base then to the extent of the excess, a “Borrowing Base Deficit” exists and in that event, immediately upon any determination of a Borrowing Base Deficit, whether by notice from Lender or otherwise, Borrower will provide to Lender the plan (formulated by Borrower) to cure such Borrowing Base Deficit. In the event such plan to cure is acceptable to Lender (in its Permitted Discretion); Borrower may be permitted by

ADDENDUM TO BORROWING BASE REPORT

The following terms shall have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined) with respect to the Borrowing Base Report or as sometimes referred to as the “Borrowing Base Collateral”.

3. The term “Raw Materials” means Borrower’s property that is utilized in the manufacture of Borrower’s products for sale or lease. All Raw Materials will be valued at the lower of cost or market value as determined by Lender in its Permitted Discretion. To be “eligible” for inclusion in the Borrowing Base Report as Borrowing Base Collateral, Lender must have a first priority security interest against all such Raw Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the value of the Raw Materials for purposes of the Borrowing Base calculation exceed $25,000,000.00.

4. The term “Works in Progress” means Borrower’s manufactured products that are not complete and ready for sale or lease.

All Finished Goods will be valued at the lower of cost or market value as determined by Lender in its Permitted Discretion. To be “eligible” for inclusion in the Borrowing Base Report as Borrowing Base Collateral, Lender must have a first priority security interest against all such Finished Goods.

6. The term “CIBC Bank USA Account” means deposit account number 2533502 maintained at CIBC Bank USA having a balance not to exceed $575,000.00.

7. The term “Sub-Total Borrowing Base” means the sum of items 1 – 5 consisting of the aggregate value of all Borrowing Base Collateral. Any item of Borrowing Base Collateral may be included in the Total Borrowing Base in only a single category of Borrowing Base Collateral.

9. The term “Net Borrowing Base” means the remainder of: (a) the Sub-Total Borrowing Base; less (b) the Sub-Total Obligations, that is, if such remainder is positive (i.e., the “Borrowing Base Equity”) then the amount is what is available for advance under the Operating Note, subject to the maximum available credit limitation set forth therein; and if such remainder is negative (i.e., the “Borrowing Base Deficit”) then Lender will not be under any circumstances required to make any advance under the Operating Note.
