CREDIT FACILITIES 2.1 Revolving Loans. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to Parent from time to time in amounts requested by Parent up to the amount equal to the sum of: (i) eighty-five (85%) percent of the Net Amount of Eligible Accounts, plus (ii) the lesser of: (A) fifty-three (53%) percent of the Value of Eligible Inventory or (B) $6,000,000.00, less (iii) any Availability Reserves. (b) Lender may, in its discretion, from time to time, upon not less than five (5) days prior notice to Parent, (i) reduce the lending formula with respect to Eligible Accounts to the extent that Lender determines in good faith that: (A) the dilution with respect to the Accounts for any period (based on the ratio of (1) the aggregate amount of reductions in Accounts other than as a result of payments in cash to (2) the aggregate amount of total sales) has increased in any material respect or may be reasonably anticipated to increase in any material respect above historical levels, or (B) the general creditworthiness of account debtors has declined or (ii) reduce the lending formula(s) with respect to Eligible Inventory to the extent that Lender determines that: (A) the number of days of the turnover of the Inventory for any period has changed in any material respect or (B) the liquidation value of the Eligible Inventory, or any category thereof, has decreased, or (C) the nature and quality of the Inventory has deteriorated. In determining whether to reduce the lending formula(s), Lender may consider events, conditions, contingencies or risks which are also considered in determining Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory or in establishing Availability Reserves. (c) Except in Lender's discretion, the aggregate amount of the Loans and the Letter of Credit Accommodations outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Credit. In the event that the outstanding amount of any component of the Loans, or the aggregate amount of the outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations, exceed the amounts available under the lending formulas, or the Maximum Credit, as applicable, such event shall not limit, waive or otherwise affect any rights of Lender in that circumstance or on any future occasions and Borrowers shall, upon demand by Lender, which may be made at any time or from time to time, immediately repay to Lender the entire amount of any such excess(es) for which payment is demanded. 12 (d) For purposes only of applying the sublimit on Revolving Loans based on Eligible Inventory pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(B), without duplication for Availability Reserves, Lender may treat the then undrawn amounts of outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations for the purpose of purchasing Eligible Inventory as Revolving Loans to the extent Lender is in effect basing the issuance of the Letter of Credit Accommodations on the Value of the Eligible Inventory being purchased with such Letter of Credit Accommodations. In determining the actual amounts of such Letter of Credit Accommodations to be so treated for purposes of the sublimit, the outstanding Revolving Loans and Availability Reserves shall be attributed first to any components of the lending formulas in Section 2.1(a) that are not subject to such sublimit, before being attributed to the components of the lending formulas subject to such sublimit. 2.2 Letter of Credit Accommodations. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, at the request of Parent, Lender agrees to provide or arrange for Letter of Credit Accommodations for the account of Parent containing terms and conditions acceptable to Lender and the issuer thereof. Any payments made by Lender to any issuer thereof and/or related parties in connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations shall constitute additional Revolving Loans to Parent pursuant to this Section 2. (b) In addition to any charges, fees or expenses charged by any bank or issuer in connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations, Parent shall pay to Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate equal to one and one half (1.5%) percent per annum ("Letter of Credit Fee") on the daily outstanding balance of the Letter of Credit Accommodations for the immediately preceding month (or part thereof), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding month, except that Parent shall pay to Lender such Letter of Credit Fee, at Lender's option, without notice, at a rate equal to four and one half (4.5%) percent per annum on such daily outstanding balance for: (i) the period from and after the date of termination or non-renewal hereof until Lender has received full and final payment of all Obligations (notwithstanding entry of a judgment against Parent) and (ii) the period from and after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default for so long as such Event of Default is continuing as determined by Lender. Such Letter of Credit Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed and the obligation of Parent to pay such fee shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. (c) No Letter of Credit Accommodations shall be available unless on the date of the proposed issuance of any Letter of Credit Accommodations, the Revolving Loans available to Parent (subject to the Maximum Credit and any Availability Reserves) are equal to or greater than: (i) if the proposed Letter of Credit Accommodation is for the purpose of purchasing Eligible Inventory, the sum of (A) the percentage equal to one hundred (100%) percent minus the then applicable percentage set forth in Section 2.1(a)(ii)(A) above of the Value of such Eligible Inventory, plus (B) freight, taxes, duty and other amounts which Lender estimates must be paid in connection with such Inventory upon arrival and for delivery to one of Parent's locations for Eligible Inventory within the United States of America and (ii) if the proposed Letter of Credit Accommodation is for any other purpose, an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the face amount thereof and all other commitments and obligations made or incurred by Lender with 13 respect thereto. For example, prior to the issuance of a Letter of Credit Accommodation, Parent shall be able, under the formula set forth in Section 2.1(a), to borrow a Revolving Loan in the amount of (i) such Letter of Credit Accommodation, if the Letter of Credit Accommodation is for a standby letter of credit and (ii) forty-seven (47%) percent of such Letter of Credit Accommodation, if the letter of credit is a documentary letter of credit. Effective on the issuance of each Letter of Credit Accommodation, an Availability Reserve shall be established in the applicable amount set forth in Section 2.2(c)(i) or Section 2.2(c)(ii). (d) Except in Lender's discretion, the amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations and all other commitments and obligations made or incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall not at any time exceed $5,000,000.00. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, upon Lender's request, Borrower will either furnish cash collateral to secure the reimbursement obligations to the issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations or furnish cash collateral to Lender for the Letter of Credit Accommodations, and in either case, the Revolving Loans otherwise available to Borrower shall not be reduced as provided in Section 2.2(c) to the extent of such cash collateral. (e) Parent shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses which Lender may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations and any documents, drafts or acceptances relating thereto, including any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses due to any action taken by any issuer or correspondent with respect to any Letter of Credit Accommodation unless such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses are determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Lender to be due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Parent assumes all risks with respect to the acts or omissions of the drawer under or beneficiary of any Letter of Credit Accommodation and for such purposes the drawer or beneficiary shall be deemed Parent's agent. Parent assumes all risks for, and agrees to pay, all foreign, Federal, State and local taxes, duties and levies relating to any goods subject to any Letter of Credit Accommodations or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder. Parent hereby releases and holds Lender harmless from and against any acts, waivers, errors, delays or omissions, whether caused by Parent, by any issuer or correspondent or otherwise with respect to or relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation. The provisions of this Section 2.2(e) shall survive the payment of Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. (f) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant Parent any right or authority to pledge the credit of Lender in any manner. Lender shall have no liability of any kind with respect to any Letter of Credit Accommodation provided by an issuer other than Lender unless Lender has duly executed and delivered to such issuer the application or a guarantee or indemnification in writing with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation. Parent shall be bound by any interpretation made in good faith by Lender, or any other issuer or correspondent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodation or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder, notwithstanding that such interpretation may be inconsistent with any instructions of Parent. Lender shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to, and Parent shall not: (i) at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, (A) approve or resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents, (B) give any instructions as to acceptance or rejection of any documents or goods or (C) execute any and all applications for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities or delivery orders, and (ii) at all 14 times, (A) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or documents, and (B) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder or any letters of credit included in the Collateral. Lender may take such actions either in its own name or in Parent's name. (g) Any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by Parent to any issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement in favor of any issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been granted or undertaken by Parent to Lender. Any duties or obligations undertaken by Lender to any issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement by Lender in favor of any issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been undertaken by Parent to Lender and to apply in all respects to Parent. 2.3 Term Loans. Lender agrees to make Term Loans to Parent and to Ultralife (UK) from time to time up to an aggregate original principal amount equal to the lesser of (a) 100% of the OLV of Eligible Equipment or (b) the Term Loan Availability Limit, provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made to Parent shall not exceed $11,000,000 and the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to Ultralife (UK) shall not exceed $1,000,000. The Term Loans made on the date hereof shall be in the aggregate original principal amount of $4,000,000.00 and be comprised of a $3,000,000 Term Loan to the Parent and a $1,000,000 Term Loan to Ultralife (UK) (the "Initial Term Loans") and thereafter each Term Loan requested by Parent or by Ultralife (UK) shall be in the minimum principal amount of $500,000.00 and in integral multiples of $500,000.00 in excess thereof, or the remaining principal amount available to be drawn by Parent and by Ultralife (UK) hereunder. Each Term Loan shall be (a) evidenced by a Term Promissory Note in the original principal amount borrowed, duly executed and delivered by Parent or by Ultralife (UK), as the case may be, to Lender concurrently with the borrowing of such Term Loan; (b) repaid, together with interest and other amounts, in accordance with this Agreement, the applicable Term Promissory Note, and the other Financing Agreements and (c) secured by all of the Collateral. Term Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The Initial Term Loans shall not be prepaid unless Parent and Ultralife (UK) simultaneously terminate this Agreement in accordance with the requirements of Section 12.1 including, without limitation, by making the payment of any termination fee then due under Section 12.1(c) 2.4 Availability Reserves. All Revolving Loans otherwise available to Parent pursuant to the lending formulas and subject to the Maximum Credit and other applicable limits hereunder shall be subject to the Permanent Availability Reserve and to Lender's continuing right, acting in good faith and upon notice to Borrower, to establish and revise additional Availability Reserves. 2.5 Liabilities. Ultralife (UK) shall be liable hereunder for the Term Loans made to it and for all interest, fees, charges, costs and expenses relating thereto or arising hereunder with respect thereto and as otherwise may be set forth herein. Ultralife (UK) shall not be liable for the Revolving Loans, Term Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations made to or on behalf of the 15 Parent or for the interest, fees, charges, costs and expenses relating thereto or arising hereunder with respect thereto. Parent has entered into a Guarantee of all of the liabilities, indebtedness and obligations of Ultralife (UK), which Guarantee shall be secured by all of the Collateral. 3. INTEREST AND FEES 3.1 Interest. (a) Each Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on the outstanding principal amount of the non-contingent Obligations (outstanding to each such Borrower) at the Interest Rate. All interest accruing hereunder on and after the date of any Event of Default or termination or non-renewal hereof shall be payable on demand. (b) Borrowers may from time to time request that Prime Rate Loans be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or that any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request from Borrowers shall specify the amount of the Prime Rate Loans which will constitute Eurodollar Rate Loans (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three (3) Business Days after receipt by Lender of such a request from Borrowers, such Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall continue, as the case may be, provided, that, (i) no Event of Default, or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination or non-renewal of this Agreement, (iii) Borrowers shall have complied with such customary procedures as are established by Lender and specified by Lender to Borrower from time to time for requests by Borrowers for Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) no more than four (4) Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time, (v) the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans must be in an amount not less than $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (vi) the maximum amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans at any time requested by Borrowers shall not exceed the amount equal to (A) the principal amount of the Term Loans which it is anticipated will be outstanding as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period plus (B) eighty (80%) percent of the lowest principal amount of the Revolving Loans which it is anticipated will be outstanding during the applicable Interest Period, in each case as determined by Lender (but with no obligation of Lender to make such Revolving Loans) and (vii) Lender shall have determined that the Interest Period or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is available to Lender through the Reference Bank and can be readily determined as of the date of the request for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by Borrowers. Any request by Borrowers to convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender and Reference Bank shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable Eurodollar Rate market to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Lender and Reference Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the Eurodollar Rate Loans. (c) Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Lender has received and approved a 16 request to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, at Lender's option, upon notice by Lender to Borrowers, convert to Prime Rate Loans in the event that (i) an Event of Default or event which, with the notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist, (ii) this Agreement shall terminate or not be renewed, or (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Prime Rate Loans which have previously been converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or existing Eurodollar Rate Loans continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed either (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, or (B) the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans plus the Revolving Loans then available to Parent under Section 2 hereof. Borrowers shall pay to Lender, upon demand by Lender (or Lender may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrowers) any amounts required to compensate Lender, the Reference Bank or any participant with Lender for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing. (d) Interest shall be payable by Borrowers to Lender monthly in arrears not later than the first day of each calendar month and shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. The interest rate on non-contingent Obligations (other than Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the first day of the month after any change in such Prime Rate is announced based on the Prime Rate in effect on the last day of the month in which any such change occurs. In no event shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrower to Lender exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, and if any such part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto. (e) The Interest Rate shall be subject to adjustment based upon the annual consolidated net income (loss) from continuing operations of the Parent, excluding all extraordinary and nonrecurring gains, determined in accordance with GAAP ("Net Income" or "Loss") as shown on the annual audited financial statements of the Borrower delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 9.6(a)(ii) hereof. If Parent's Net Income is in excess of $1.00, the Interest Rate shall be decreased by .25%, provided that in no event shall the Interest Rate as to Prime Rate Loan be less than one quarter of one percent (.25%) per annum in excess of the Prime Rate and the Interest Rate as to Eurodollar Rate Loans be less than two and one quarter percent (2.25%) per annum in excess of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. If Parent incurs a Loss, the Interest Rate shall be increased by .25%, provided that in no event, absent the occurrence of an event or condition described in the proviso to the definition of "Interest Rate," shall the Interest Rate as to Prime Loans be greater than one and one quarter percent (1.25%) per annum in excess of the Prime Rate and the Interest Rate as to Eurodollar Rate Loans be greater than three and one quarter percent (3.25%) per annum in excess of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. Each adjustment to the Interest Rate hereunder shall be effective, as to Prime Rate Loans, as of the first day of the month following Lender's receipt of Borrower's Section 9.6(a)(ii) annual audited financial statements and, as to Eurodollar Rate Loans, for Eurodollar Rate Loans made after the first day of such month. 17 (f) (i) Otherwise than pursuant to this Section 3.1(f), Ultralife (UK) shall not be liable to pay any amount for taxes imposed by the UK Inland Revenue by virtue of Lender being a "person whose usual place of abode is outside the United Kingdom" and not a bank for the purposes of Section 349 of the "Income and Corporation Taxes Act" (1988). (ii) Where, pursuant to Section 3.1(f)(i) above, Ultralife (UK) makes a deduction (a "Required Deduction") in respect of any interest payment to Lender, Ultralife (UK) shall, on the date on which such interest is due to be paid to Lender, advance to Lender an interest free, unsecured loan in an amount equal to the amount of such Required Deduction (an "Interest Advance") repayable in accordance with Section 3.1(f)(iii). (iii) Each Interest Advance shall be repayable to Lender immediately following payment by the Inland Revenue, to the Lender, of an amount equal to the Required Deduction. (iv) Ultralife (UK) agrees to provide to Lender (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Lender shall be under no obligation to repay any Interest Advance unless Ultralife (UK) complies with the provisions of this Section 3.1(f)(iv)): (A) a tax deduction certificate in relation to the Required Deduction; and (B) such other documents as are required by Lender to enable it to obtain a repayment equal to the amount of the Required Deduction. (v) In the event that Ultralife (UK) receives any written notification from the Inland Revenue requiring it to make payments in respect of any Required Deduction otherwise than in the manner provided for in this Section 3.1(f), then the parties shall make such amendments to this Section 3.1(f) as may be necessary to comply with the terms of such notification from the Inland Revenue and so far as possible to put the parties in the same position as they would have been had the provisions of Sections 3.1(f)(ii), (iii), and (iv) been implemented. 3.2 Closing Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Lender as a closing fee the amount of $150,000.00, which shall be fully earned as of the date hereof and payable one-half on the date hereof and one-half on the first to occur of the first anniversary of the date hereof or the termination of this Agreement. 3.3 Intentionally Omitted. 3.4 Servicing Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Lender monthly a servicing fee in an amount equal to $1,000.00 in respect of Lender's services for each month (or part thereof) while this Agreement remains in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding, which fee shall be fully earned as of and payable in advance on the date hereof and on the first day of each month hereafter. 18 3.5 Unused Line Fee. Parent shall pay to Lender monthly an unused line fee at a rate equal to one quarter of one (.25%) percent per annum calculated upon the amount by which the Maximum Credit exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding, which fee shall be payable on the first day of each month in arrears. 3.6 Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Loans. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, upon notice by Lender to Borrowers, convert to Prime Rate Loans in the event that (i) any change in applicable law or regulation (or the interpretation or administration thereof) shall either (A) make it unlawful for Lender, Reference Bank or any participant to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans or to comply with the terms hereof in connection with the Eurodollar Rate Loans, or (B) shall result in the increase in the costs to Lender, Reference Bank or any participant of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, or (C) reduce the amounts received or receivable by Lender in respect thereof, by an amount deemed by Lender to be material or (ii) the cost to Lender, Reference Bank or any participant of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall otherwise increase by an amount deemed by Lender to be material. Borrowers shall pay to Lender, upon demand by Lender (or Lender may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrowers) any amounts required to compensate Lender, the Reference Bank or any participant with Lender for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person as a result of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such person to make or maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof. A certificate of Lender setting forth the basis for the determination of such amount necessary to compensate Lender as aforesaid shall be delivered to Borrowers and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) If any payments or prepayments in respect of the Eurodollar Rate Loans are received by Lender other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (whether pursuant to acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise), including any payments pursuant to the application of collections under Section 6.3 or any other payments made with the proceeds of Collateral, Borrowers shall pay to Lender upon demand by Lender (or Lender may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrowers) any amounts required to compensate Lender, the Reference Bank or any participant with Lender for any additional loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person as a result of such prepayment or payment, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such person to make or maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof. Lender shall apply prepayments and payments made on the Loans first to the Prime Rate Loans of the type of Loan (either Revolving Loans or Term Loans) being repaid and thereafter to Eurodollar Rate Loans of the type of Loan being repaid and, so long as no Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Lender will hold such payments as cash collateral to apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the first to occur of the expiration of the applicable Interest Period or such time as no cost or expense would be incurred by Borrowers for the prepayment of such Eurodollar Rate Loan. 19 4.

COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION 6.1 Borrowers' Loan Account. Lender shall maintain one or more loan account(s) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) all Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations and other Obligations and the Collateral, (b) all payments made by or on behalf of Borrowers and (c) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including fees, charges, costs, expenses and interest. All entries in the loan account(s) shall be made in accordance with Lender's customary practices as in effect from time to time. 6.2 Statements. Lender shall render to Parent each month a statement setting forth the balance in the Borrowers' loan account(s) maintained by Lender for Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Lender but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrowers and conclusively binding upon Borrowers as an account stated except to the extent that Lender receives a written notice from Borrowers of any specific exceptions of Borrowers thereto within forty-five (45) days after the date such statement has been mailed by Lender. Until such time as Lender shall have rendered to Parent a written statement as provided above, the balance in Borrowers' loan account(s) shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Lender by Borrower. 6.3 Collection of Accounts. (a) Borrowers shall establish and maintain, at their expense, blocked accounts or lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in either case, "Blocked Accounts"), as Lender may specify, with such banks as are acceptable to Lender into which Borrowers shall promptly deposit and direct its account debtors to directly remit all payments on Accounts and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner. The banks at which the Blocked Accounts are established shall enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, providing that all items received or deposited in the Blocked Accounts are the property of Lender, that the depository bank has no lien upon, or right to setoff against, the Blocked Accounts, the items received for deposit therein, or the funds from time to time on deposit therein and that the depository bank will wire, or otherwise transfer, in immediately available funds, on a daily basis, at such time as Lender shall direct, all funds received or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to such bank account of Lender as Lender may from time to time designate for such purpose ("Payment Account"). Lender shall instruct the depository banks at which the Blocked Accounts are maintained to transfer the funds on deposit in the Blocked Accounts to such operating bank account of Borrowers as Borrowers may specify in writing to Lender until such time as Lender shall notify the depository bank otherwise. Lender may instruct the depository banks at which the Blocked Accounts are maintained to transfer all funds received or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to the Payment Account at any time that either: (i) an Event of Default, or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist or have occurred, or (ii) Borrowers shall have failed to deliver any Borrowing Base Certificate in accordance with the terms hereof, or (iii) upon Lender's good faith belief that any information contained in any Borrowing Base Certificate is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading, or (iv) Borrower's Cash Position is equal to or less than $3,000,000.00, or (v) Parent 23 requests a Revolving Loan and for so long as any Revolving Loan is outstanding. Borrowers agree that all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Lender, whether on the Accounts or as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall be the property of Lender. (b) For purposes of calculating the amount of the Loans available to Borrowers, such payments will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations on the business day of receipt by Lender of immediately available funds in the Payment Account provided such payments and notice thereof are received in accordance with Lender's usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time and within sufficient time to credit Borrowers' loan account on such day, and if not, then on the next business day. For the purposes of calculating interest on the Obligations, such payments or other funds received will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations one (1) business day(s) following the date of receipt of immediately available funds by Lender in the Payment Account provided such payments or other funds and notice thereof are received in accordance with Lender's usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time and within sufficient time to credit Borrowers' loan account on such day, and if not, then on the next business day. (c) Each Borrower and all of its affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, employees or agents shall, acting as trustee for Lender, receive, as the property of Lender, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral which come into their possession or under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Lender. In no event shall the same be commingled with Borrowers' own funds. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank at which a Blocked Account is established or any other bank or person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Lender's payments to or indemnification of such bank or person. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Lender for such amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. 6.4 Payments. All Obligations shall be payable to the Payment Account as provided in Section 6.3 or such other place as Lender may designate from time to time. Lender may apply payments received or collected from Borrowers or for the account of Borrowers (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) to such of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and manner as Lender determines. At Lender's option, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of Borrowers. Borrowers shall make all payments to Lender on the Obligations free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any setoff, counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind. If any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (collectively, "Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. Whenever any Taxes are payable by a Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, the applicable Borrower shall send to Lender a certified copy of an original 24 official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If any Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due or fails to remit the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless for any incremental, interest, penalties, charges, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) that Lender may incur or pay as a result thereof. If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, Lender is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. Each Borrower shall be liable to pay to Lender, and does hereby indemnify and hold Lender harmless for the amount of any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 6.4 shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 6.4 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. 6.5 Authorization to Make Loans. Lender is authorized to make the Loans and provide the Letter of Credit Accommodations based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an officer of a Borrower or other authorized person or, at the discretion of Lender, if such Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations. All requests for Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder shall specify the date on which the requested advance is to be made or Letter of Credit Accommodations established (which day shall be a business day) and the amount of the requested Loan. Requests received after 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed to have been made as of the opening of business on the immediately following business day. All Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, Borrowers when deposited to the credit of a Borrower or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of a Borrower or in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 6.6 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the initial proceeds of the Loans provided by Lender to Borrowers hereunder only for: (a) payments to each of the persons listed in the disbursement direction letter furnished by Borrowers to Lender on or about the date hereof and (b) costs, expenses and fees in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. All other Loans made or Letter of Credit Accommodations provided by Lender to Borrowers pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by Borrowers only for general operating, working capital and other proper corporate purposes of Borrowers not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof. None of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans to be considered a "purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended. 6.7 Appointment of Parent as Representative. Ultralife (UK) hereby irrevocably appoints Parent, and Parent agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of Ultralife (UK) for all purposes under this Agreement, including requesting Loans, selecting whether any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Prime Rate Loan or Eurodollar Rate 25 Loan, providing notices, Borrowing Base Certificates and other reports and certificates from the Borrowers, and receiving any notices and communications to the Borrowers from the Lender. Lender may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any notice, reports, requests, information or other communication made or given by Parent whether in its own name, or on behalf of the Borrowers and Lender shall have no obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of Ultralife (UK) as to the binding effect thereof on all of the Borrowers. 7. COLLATERAL REPORTING AND COVENANTS 7.1 Collateral Reporting. (a) Parent shall provide Lender with the following documents in a form satisfactory to Lender: (i) prior to the time that any Revolving Loans are outstanding hereunder, on a monthly basis on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month or more frequently at Parent's option or as Lender may reasonably request, a Borrowing Base Certificate setting forth Parent 's calculation of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations available to Parent pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein as of the last business day of the immediately preceding month as to the Accounts and as of the last day of the preceding month as to Inventory, duly completed and executed by the chief financial officer or other appropriate financial officer acceptable to Lender, together with all schedules required pursuant to the terms of the Borrowing Base Certificate duly completed (including, without limitation, a schedule of all Accounts created, collections received and credit memos issued for each day of the immediately preceding week); provided, that, without limiting any other rights of Lender, upon Lender's request, Parent shall provide Lender on a daily basis with a schedule of Accounts, collections received and credits issued and on a monthly basis with an inventory report in the event that at any time: (A) an Event of Default or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist or have occurred, or (B) Parent shall have failed to deliver any Borrowing Base Certificate in accordance with the terms hereof, or (C) upon Lender's good faith belief, any information contained in any Borrowing Base Certificate is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading, or (D) Parent's Cash Position is equal to or less than $3,000,000.00, or (E) Parent requests a Revolving Loan and for so long as any Revolving Loan is outstanding; (ii) on a monthly basis or more frequently as Lender may request, (A) perpetual inventory reports, (B) inventory reports by category and (C) agings of accounts payable; (iii) upon Lender's request, (A) copies of customer statements and credit memos, remittances advices and reports, and copies of deposit slips and bank statements, (B) copies of shipping and delivery documents, and (C) copies of 26 purchase orders, invoices and delivery of documents for Inventory and Equipment acquired by any Borrower; (iv) agings of accounts receivable on a monthly basis or more frequently as Lender may request; and (v) such other reports as to the Collateral as Lender shall request from time to time.

Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall furnish to Lender any information which Lender may reasonably request regarding the determination and calculation of any of the amounts set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate. If any Borrowers' records or reports of the Collateral are prepared or maintained by an accounting service, contractor, shipper or other agent, each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes such service, contractor, shipper or agent to deliver such records, reports and related documents to Lender and to follow Lender's instructions with respect to further services at any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing. 7.2 Accounts Covenants. (a) Parent shall notify Lender promptly of: (i) any material delay in Parent's performance of any of its obligations to any account debtor or the assertion of any claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims by any account debtor, or any disputes with account debtors, or any settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof, (ii) all material adverse information relating to the financial condition of any account debtor and (iii) any event or circumstance which, to Parent's knowledge would cause Lender to consider any then existing Accounts as no longer constituting Eligible Accounts.

So long as no Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Parent shall settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with any account debtor. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall, at its option, have the exclusive right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with account debtors or grant any credits, discounts or allowances. (b) Without limiting the obligation of Parent to deliver any other information to Lender, Parent shall promptly report to Lender any return of Inventory by any one account debtor if the Inventory so returned in such case has a value in excess of $100,000.00.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Borrowers hereby represent and warrant to Lender the following (which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement), the truth and accuracy of which are a continuing condition of the making of Loans and providing Letter of Credit Accommodations by Lender to Borrowers: 8.1 Corporate Existence, Power and Authority; Subsidiaries. Parent is a corporation duly organized and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation and Ultralife (UK) is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of England. Each Borrower is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all states or other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on either Borrower's financial condition, results of operation or business or the rights of Lender in or to any of the Collateral. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder are all within each Borrower's corporate powers, have been duly authorized and are not in contravention of law or the terms of either Borrower's certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which either Borrower is a party or by which either Borrower or their respective property are bound. This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. Borrowers do not have any subsidiaries except as set forth on the Information Certificate. 8.2 Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change. All financial statements relating to Borrowers which have been or may hereafter be delivered by either Borrower to Lender have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition and the results of operation of Borrowers as at the dates and for the periods set forth therein. Except as disclosed in any interim financial statements furnished by Borrowers to Lender prior to the date of this Agreement, there has been no material adverse change in the assets, liabilities, properties and condition, financial or otherwise, of either Borrower, since the date of the most recent audited financial statements furnished by Borrowers to Lender prior to the date of this Agreement. 8.3 Chief Executive Office; Collateral Locations. The chief executive offices of Borrowers and Borrowers Records concerning Accounts are located only at the addresses set forth below and their only other places of business and the only other locations of Collateral, if any, are the addresses set forth in the Information Certificate, subject to the right of Borrowers to establish new locations in accordance with Section 9.2 below. The Information Certificate correctly identifies any of such locations which are not owned by Borrowers and sets forth the owners and/or operators thereof and to the best of Borrowers' knowledge, the holders of any mortgages on such locations. 31 8.4 Priority of Liens; Title to Properties. The security interests and liens granted to Lender under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements constitute valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests in and upon the Collateral subject only to the liens indicated on Schedule 8.4 hereto and the other liens permitted under Section 9.8 hereof. Each of the Borrowers has good and marketable title to all of its properties and assets subject to no liens, mortgages, pledges, security interests, encumbrances or charges of any kind, except those granted to Lender and such others as are specifically listed on Schedule 8.4 hereto or permitted under Section 9.8 hereof. 8.5 Tax Returns. Each Borrower has filed, or caused to be filed, in a timely manner all tax returns, reports and declarations which are required to be filed by it (without requests for extension except as previously disclosed in writing to Lender). All information in such tax returns, reports and declarations is complete and accurate in all material respects. Each Borrower has paid or caused to be paid all taxes due and payable or claimed due and payable in any assessment received by it, except taxes the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and available to Borrowers and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside on its books.

(a) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law, all of which rights and 44 remedies may be exercised without notice to or consent by any Borrower or any Obligor, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Lender hereunder, under any of the other Financing Agreements, the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in Lender's discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by any Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Lender may, at any time or times, proceed directly against any Borrower or any Obligor to collect the Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral. (b) Without limit to the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, in its discretion and without limitation, (i) accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Lender (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h), all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable), (ii) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) require each Borrower, at Borrowers' expense, to assemble and make available to Lender any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Lender, (iv) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (v) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (vi) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker's board, at any office of Lender or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Lender may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the Lender having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of Borrowers, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by each Borrower and/or (vii) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Lender upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, five (5) days prior notice by Lender to Borrowers designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and each Borrower waives any other notice. In the event Lender institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, each Borrower waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. (c) Lender may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by Lender from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in such order as Lender may elect, whether or not then due. Borrowers shall remain liable to Lender for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses. 45 (d) Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, without notice, (i) cease making Loans or arranging for Letter of Credit Accommodations or reduce the lending formulas or amounts of Revolving Loans, Term Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations available to Borrowers and/or (ii) terminate any provision of this Agreement providing for any future Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to be made by Lender to Borrowers. (e) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each and every Event of Default described above shall be of equal weight and significance, and equally and fully shall allow Lender to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each such Event of Default has been a material inducement for Lender to enter into this Agreement and that Lender would be irreparably harmed if Lender, in any way, were unable to exercise its rights and remedies on the basis that certain Events of Default (for example, Events of Default not relating to payment) were of less weight or significance than certain other Events of Default (for example, Events of Default relating to payment). 11. JURY TRIAL WAIVER; OTHER WAIVERS AND CONSENTS; GOVERNING LAW 11.1 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver. (a) The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and any dispute arising out of the relationship between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law). (b) Each Borrower and Lender irrevocably consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of Suffolk County of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and waive any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only in the courts described above (except that Lender shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against any Borrower or their property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Lender deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against Borrower or its property). (c) Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth on the signature pages hereof (or, as to Ultralife (UK), as provided in (f) below) and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or, at Lender's option, by service upon Borrowers in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) 46 days after such service, Borrowers shall appear in answer to such process, failing which Borrowers shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by Lender against Borrowers for the amount of the claim and other relief requested. (d) EACH BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. EACH BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT EACH BORROWER OR LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. (e) Lender shall not have any liability to Borrowers (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrowers 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 herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Lender, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any such litigation, Lender shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this Agreement. (f) Ultralife (UK) hereby irrevocably appoints and designates Ultralife Batteries, Inc. with an address at 2000 Technology Parkway, Newark, NY 14513 as its agent for the acceptance of service of process hereunder. Ultralife (UK) agrees that service made to such agent in the manner provided under (c) above shall be binding on Ultralife (UK) in all respects. 11.2 Waiver of Notices. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of dishonor with respect to any and all instruments and commercial paper, included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other demands and notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice to or demand on any Borrower which Lender may elect to give shall entitle any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 11.3 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of Lender, and as to amendments, as also signed by an authorized officer of any Borrower. Lender shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless 47 such waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Lender. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise. 11.4 Waiver of Counterclaims. Each Borrower waives all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other then compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto. 11.5 Indemnification. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender, and its directors, agents, employees and counsel, harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the fees and expenses of counsel. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to Lender in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. 12. TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS 12.1 Term. (a) This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall become effective as of the date set forth on the first page hereof and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the date three (3) years from the date hereof (the "Renewal Date"), and from year to year thereafter, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. Lender or Borrowers may terminate this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements effective on the Renewal Date or on the anniversary of the Renewal Date in any year by giving to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior written notice; provided, that, this Agreement and all other Financing Agreements must be terminated simultaneously. Upon the effective date of termination or non-renewal of the Financing Agreements, Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in full, all outstanding and unpaid Obligations and shall furnish cash collateral to Lender in such amounts as Lender determines are reasonably necessary to secure Lender from loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses, in connection with any contingent Obligations, including issued and outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations and checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations and/or as to which Lender has not yet received final and indefeasible payment. Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in Federal funds to such bank account of Lender, as Lender may, in its discretion, 48 designate in writing to Borrowers for such purpose. Interest shall be due until and including the next business day, if the amounts so paid by Borrowers to the bank account designated by Lender are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, Eastern time. (b) No termination of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall relieve or discharge Borrowers of their respective duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid, and Lender's continuing security interest in the Collateral and the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, under the other Financing Agreements and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid. (c) If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the then current term or renewal term of this Agreement, in view of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of Lender's lost profits as a result thereof and as a result of Lender's deferral of payment of fees that would be payable at the inception and during the term of this Agreement, Borrowers agree to pay to Lender, upon the effective date of such termination, an early termination fee in the amount set forth below if such termination is effective in the period indicated: Amount Period (i) 3% of Maximum Credit From the date hereof to and including the first anniversary of the date hereof; (ii) 1% of Maximum Credit From the first anniversary of the date hereof to and including the second anniversary of the date hereof; and (iii) .5% of Maximum Credit From the second anniversary of the date hereof to and including the third anniversary of the date hereof. Such early termination fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Lender as a result of such early termination and Borrowers agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. In addition, Lender shall be entitled to such early termination fee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h) hereof, even if Lender does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement, but elects, at its option, to provide financing to Borrowers or permit the use of cash collateral under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The early termination fee provided for in this Section 12.1 shall be deemed included in the Obligations. 12.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in writing and (a) made to Lender at its address set forth below and to Borrowers at their respective chief executive offices set forth below, or to such other address as either party may designate by written notice to the other in accordance with this provision, and (b) deemed to have been given or made: if delivered in person, immediately upon delivery; if by telex, telegram or facsimile transmission, 49 immediately upon sending and upon confirmation of receipt; if by nationally recognized overnight courier service with instructions to deliver the next business day, one (1) business day after sending and upon confirmation of delivery; and if by certified mail, return receipt requested, five (5) days after mailing. 12.3 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate this Agreement as a whole, but this Agreement shall be construed as though it did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid or unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law. 12.4 Successors. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender, Borrowers, and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither Borrower may assign its rights under this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may, after notice to Borrowers, assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and further may assign, or sell participations in, all or any part of the Loans, the Letter of Credit Accommodations or any other interest herein to another financial institution or other person, in which event, the assignee or participant shall have, to the extent of such assignment or participation, the same rights and benefits as it would have if it were the Lender hereunder, except as otherwise provided by the terms of such assignment or participation. 12.5 Confidentiality. (a) Lender shall use all reasonable efforts to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information and safe and sound lending practices, any non-public information supplied to it by Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement which is clearly and conspicuously marked as confidential at the time such information is furnished by Borrowers to Lender, provided, that, nothing contained herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information: (i) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation, subpoena or court order, (ii) to bank examiners and other regulators, auditors and/or accountants, (iii) in connection with any litigation to which Lender is a party, (iv) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) shall have first agreed in writing to treat such information as confidential in accordance with this Section 12.5, or (v) to counsel for Lender or any participant or assignee (or prospective participant or assignee). (b) In no event shall this Section 12.5 or any other provision of this Agreement or applicable law be deemed: (i) to apply to or restrict disclosure of information that has been or is made public by Borrowers or any third party without breach of this Section 12.5 or otherwise become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation hereof, (ii) to apply to or restrict disclosure of information that was or becomes available to Lender on a non-confidential basis from a person other than Borrowers, (iii) require Lender to return any materials furnished by Borrowers to Lender or (iv) prevent Lender from responding to routine informational requests in accordance with the Code of Ethics for the Exchange of Credit 50 Information promulgated by The Robert Morris Associates or other applicable industry standards relating to the exchange of credit information. The obligations of Lender under this Section 12.5 shall supersede and replace the obligations of Lender under any confidentiality letter signed prior to the date hereof. 12.6 Judgment Currency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of Borrowers in respect of any amount due under this Agreement shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (the "Other Currency") (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in United States Dollars being the currency in which it is due (the "Agreed Currency") that Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in the Other Currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the business day immediately after the day on which Lender receives the payment. If the amount in the Agreed Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, Borrowers, as the case may be, shall pay all additional amounts, in the Agreed Currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligations of Borrowers, as the case may be, not discharged by that payment shall, to the extent permitted by law, be due as a separate and independent obligations and, until discharged as provided in this section, continue in full force and effect. 12.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, any supplements hereto or thereto, and any instruments or documents delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith represents the entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof between the parties hereto, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any schedule or exhibit hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
