Gentlemen:
We are pleased to confirm the following agreement by which you are to finance receivables arising from sales made by us.
1. To induce you to accept this agreement and to make loans and advances to us from time to time pursuant to these terms, we hereby assign and transfer to you all of our interest in, full title to, and the proceeds of: all accounts, instruments, contract rights, chattel paper, documents, and general intangibles (hereafter called "receivables") now existing and those hereafter created. Such assignment and transfer is made for the purpose of securing, and as collateral for, any and all loans and advances made to us under this agreement, together with all other Obligations of ours to you. As additional security for all our Obligations to you, we hereby grant to you a security interest in and lien upon all of our inventory and other Collateral (as said term is defined on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof) all of our books and records relating to receivables, all our title and/or interest in the goods represented by receivables and in all such goods that may be returned by or replevied or reclaimed from customers. You hereby have the right to stop goods in transit or to replevy or to reclaim such goods. All returned, replevied and reclaimed goods (unless released by you) coming into our possession shall be held by us in trust for you. We shall notify you promptly of all such returned, replevied or reclaimed goods. The receivables, the books and records relating thereto, the goods represented by receivables and all such goods that may be returned by or replevied or reclaimed from customers along with the Collateral as said term is defined in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "collateral".
2. We will provide you with listings of receivables created in form satisfactory to you, together with copies of customer invoices and conclusive evidence of shipment and such other documents and proof of delivery/rendition as you may at any time require. You may lend against these receivables, provided, however, that there shall be no obligation on your part to make loans and advances against any of our receivables.

The term "Affiliate" as used herein shall mean any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Borrower.
The term “Business Day” as used herein shall mean any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which banks in the State of Georgia are authorized or required to close.
The term "Parent" as used herein shall mean any Person now or at any time or times hereafter owning or controlling (alone or with any other Person) at least a majority of our issued and outstanding stock or any Subsidiary of ours.
The term "Person" as used herein shall mean any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization, association, corporation, institution, entity, party or foreign or United States government (whether federal, state, county, city, municipal or otherwise), including, without limitation, any instrumentality, division, agency, body or department thereof.
The term "Subsidiary" as used herein shall mean any corporation of which more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding capital stock having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors of such corporation (irrespective of whether at the time stock of any other class of such corporation shall have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency) is at the time, directly or indirectly, owned by Borrower or by any partnership or joint venture of which more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding equity interests are at the time, directly or indirectly, owned by Borrower.
3. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and without limiting your discretion, there shall be no obligation on your part to make loans and advances to us and from time to time at our request you may at your discretion lend to us up to 85% of the face value of each invoice (said percentage is hereinafter referred to as the "advance rate") acceptable to you, but the total of such loans and advances shall not exceed $750,000 at any one time outstanding. The amounts of such loans shall be determined by you with consideration for the value of the collateral, taking into account all fluctuations of the value thereof in light of your experience and sound business principles. Such determinations by you shall be subject to the requirements of good faith on your part, our undertakings hereunder, and especially our assignment and transfer of all our receivables as security for the loans and our other Obligations to you, which will, of necessity, fluctuate in amount, and to the condition that you be at all times fully secured. At your option you may prepare and mail all customers' invoices. Billing on invoices by whomever done shall be conclusive evidence of assignment and transfer hereunder to you of the receivables represented thereby, whether or not we execute any other instrument with regard to any specific receivable.
All loans and advances shall, in your sole discretion, be evidenced by one or more promissory notes in form and substance satisfactory to you. However, if such loans and advances are not so evidenced, such loans and advances may be evidenced solely by entries upon the books and records maintained by you.
Any and all accrued interest, charges or fees which are not paid when due, shall become Obligations, shall be treated as such and shall be taken into consideration in your determination of the amount of the loans and advances which you may make to us; provided, however, that all such accrued and unpaid interest, charges and fees shall not be treated as an Obligation until the first day of the month immediately proceeding the month in which they accrued. You shall calculate the principal balance each day prior to our receiving credit for any collections received by you on that day. If at any time and for any reason, the aggregate amount of the outstanding advances made pursuant to Paragraph 2 exceeds the dollar or percentage limitations contained in Paragraph 2 (an “Overadvance”), then we shall, upon demand by you, immediately pay to you in cash, the amount of such excess. Any and all advances hereunder shall be added to and deemed part of the Obligations when made.

4. We shall pay you interest monthly, on the first (1st) day of each month, at the AFC Index Rate (as defined herein) plus two and one half percent (2.50%) per annum, on the average daily principal balance of all loans made hereunder. As used herein, the term "AFC Index Rate" shall mean the highest of the following: (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus One Hundred and Fifty Basis Points (1.50%), as in effect from time to time, (ii) the LIBOR Rate plus Three Hundred and Sixty basis points (3.60%); provided, however, that in no event shall the AFC Index Rate be less than four and three quarters percent (4.75%). We understand that the AFC Index Rate is not necessarily the lowest interest rate available on loans made by you, which loans may be priced at, above or below the AFC Index Rate. The AFC Index Rate as of the date hereof is four and seventy five one hundredths percent (4.75%) per annum; accordingly, the interest rate hereunder expressed in simple interest terms as of the date hereof is seven and one quarter percent (7.25%) per annum. If at any time or from time to time the AFC Index Rate increases or decreases, then the AFC Index Rate then in effect shall be correspondingly increased or decreased effective no later than the first day of the month immediately following the day on which there is any such increase or decrease in the AFC Index Rate. Interest hereunder shall be computed on a 360-day year simple interest basis. In addition, we shall pay you monthly, on the first (1st) day of each month, (a) as compensation for underwriting, administrative services, costs, and other services performed or incurred by you in connection with this agreement, a service fee equal to the Monthly Service Fee (expressed as a percentage) as figured in accordance with the Service Fee Schedule attached hereto and made a part of hereof as if fully set forth herein, marked Schedule “A” (the “Monthly Service Fees”) (Monthly Service Fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year) and (b) as compensation for delays in collection and clearance of checks and other remittances, an amount equal to two (2) Business Days on interest and service fees computed at the rate set forth above in effect on the last day of the previous month on the total amount of all remittances delivered to you in payment of our Obligations during the previous month. In the event of an Overadvance that remains unpaid to you (irrespective of any demand for the repayment thereof which may be made by you), we shall pay to you, in addition to the Monthly Service Fee, a surcharge of 25% of the Monthly Service Fee for each day that an Overadvance exists. You will render a statement of account monthly, and such statement shall be deemed binding upon us unless you are notified in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after the date of each statement rendered.
For purposes of this paragraph:
The term “LIBOR Rate” shall mean, for the then current calendar month relating thereto, the rate per annum equal to the quotient of (a) Base LIBOR Rate, divided by (b) if then applicable (and the following is not applicable on the Closing Date) a number equal to 1.00 minus the aggregate of the rate(s) (expressed as a decimal) of reserve requirements current on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the beginning of the calendar month (including without limitation basic, supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves) under any regulation promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Bank) as in effect from time to time, dealing with reserve requirements prescribed for Eurocurrency funding including any reserve requirements with respect to “eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
The term “Base Libor Rate” shall mean, for any calendar month, the rate per annum, determined by AFC in accordance with its customary procedures, and utilizing such electronic or other quotation sources as it considers appropriate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16%), to be the rate at which Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such calendar month) in the amount of $1,000,000 are offered to major banks in the London interbank market on or about 11:00 a.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of such calendar month, for a term comparable to such calendar month, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
The term “Federal Funds Rate” shall mean, for any period, a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to, for each day during such period, the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on such transactions received by you from three Federal Funds brokers of recognized standing selected by you.

5. We shall direct all of our account debtors, as well as any other obligor, to make all payments on the accounts as directed by, exclusively and directly to a post office box or any other address designated by you (the "Lock Box"), and under your exclusive control. Any and all payments received by us shall be held in trust for the benefit of you and shall be immediately remitted, by us in the identical form in which such payments were made, whether by cash or check to such account as you may direct, however, nothing herein shall be interpreted or construed as consent or authorization by you to our receipt of payments made by account debtors or obligors on the accounts.

These remittances shall be listed and certified on a form satisfactory to you. In the event any payments or remittances, received by us are not delivered to you in kind, per the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, we shall pay to you a fee of fifteen percent of the face amount of any such payment or remittance. You will apply (conditioned upon final collection) each payment deposited, which payment has been made by any account debtor on a receivable represented by any invoice on which you have based any loan made to us hereunder, to such loan and any other Obligations which are due and payable, on the first day after receipt by you. You may, at any time and from time to time, whether before or after the maturity of any of the Obligations, (i) enforce collection of any of our accounts or contract rights by suit or otherwise; (ii) exercise all of our rights and remedies with respect to proceedings brought to collect any accounts; (iii) surrender, release or exchange all or any part of any accounts, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; (iv) sell or assign any account of ours upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as you deem advisable; (v) prepare, file and sign our name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against any account debtor; and (vi) do all other acts and things which are necessary, in your sole discretion, to fulfill our Obligations under this agreement and to allow you to collect the accounts.

6. We hereby appoint and constitute you as our attorney-in- fact: to receive, open, and dispose of all mail addressed to us and to notify the postal authorities to change the address and delivery of mail addressed to us to such address as you may designate (provided that you shall return to us all mail not pertaining to receivables); to endorse our name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders and other evidences of payment of receivables that may come into your possession and to deposit or otherwise collect the same; to sign our name on any bill of lading relating to any receivable, on drafts against customers; to verify accounts with communications to customers; to execute in our name any affidavits and notices with regard to any and all lien rights; and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this agreement.

(a) we shall at all times keep accurate and complete books, records and accounts with respect to all of our business activities, in accordance with sound accounting practices and generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied from period to period, and shall keep such books, records and accounts, and any copies thereof, only at the addresses indicated for such purpose on Exhibit A of this agreement;

11. You shall be entitled to hold or set off all sums and all other property of ours, at any time to our credit or in your possession by pledge or otherwise or upon or in which you may have a lien or security interest, as security for any and all obligations of ours owing to you. “Obligations” as said term is used in this Agreement shall mean all obligations hereunder, and under all notes, contracts of suretyship, guaranty or accommodation made by us in your favor, and all our other obligations to you, however created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, whether through assignment from third persons, whether absolute or contingent, or otherwise, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due. You shall have the right and are hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to apply all payments received from the collateral account to the amounts of any and all Obligations. Recourse to security shall not at any time be required. We shall at all times remain liable for the repayment to you on demand of all Obligations. In any case we shall remain liable to you for any deficiencies arising upon the liquidation of any security held by you. If any receivable is not paid when due or if any customer raises any claim of non-conformity of goods, total or partial failure of delivery, set-off, counterclaim, or breach of warranty, or any other claim inconsistent with our warranties of receivables, or there is otherwise non-compliance with our warranties and representations regarding our receivables as made above, we will, upon demand, pay you for application to the Obligations the gross amount of the receivable so affected or unpaid, together with any damages or loss sustained by you, but such payment shall not be deemed a reassignment thereof, and title thereto and to the goods represented thereby shall remain in you until and unless you execute a reassignment. Before or after default hereunder you shall be entitled to notify any or all account debtors or other obligors on the receivables to pay you directly, and we agree that while assigned to you, you may take such action with regard to the custody and collection of receivables as you may deem necessary. We agree that failure to take any action with regard to any given receivable shall not be unreasonable until and unless you receive a request for specific action from us with regard thereto. You may also apply all payments received from the collateral account to, or at your option we will pay you on demand, all costs and expenses, including fifteen percent (15%) of the total amount involved as attorneys' fees, incurred upon the liquidation of any collateral, to obtain or enforce payment of any Obligations, in the settlement, adjustment, compromise or litigation of customer disputes or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding either against you or against us concerning any matter growing out of or connected with this Agreement and/or any receivables and/or any Obligations. In the event of any breach by us of any provision herein, we will repay upon demand all of our Obligations to you. If at any time you pay any state, city, local, federal or other tax or levy arising from sales hereunder, we will repay to you the amount of tax so paid by you.
12. This Agreement shall be in effect from the date hereof until May 24, 2012, (the "Original Term") and shall automatically renew itself from year to year thereafter (each such one-year renewal being referred to herein as a "Renewal Term") unless (a) you make demand for repayment prior to the end of the Original Term or the then current Renewal Term; (b) the due date of the Obligations is accelerated; or (c) we elect to terminate this Agreement at the end of the Original Term or at the end of any Renewal Term by giving you written notice of such election at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Original Term or the then current Renewal Term and by paying all of the Obligations in full on the last day of such term. If one or more of the events specified in clauses (a), (b) and (c) occurs, this Agreement shall terminate on the date thereafter that the Obligations are paid in full, provided, however, that the security interests and liens created under this Agreement shall survive such termination until the payment of the Obligations have become indefeasible. At such time as we have repaid all of the Obligations and this Agreement has terminated, we shall deliver to you a release, in form and substance satisfactory to you, of all Obligations and liabilities of you and your officers, directors, employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries and affiliates to us, and if we obtain new financing from another lender, we shall deliver such lender's indemnification of you, in form and substance satisfactory to you, for checks which you have credited to our account, but which subsequently are dishonored for any reason. Notice of termination shall be given either personally or by registered or certified mail to the addresses shown herein, or to any other address designated in writing by either of us to the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should either party breach this Agreement or become insolvent or unable to pay our debts as they mature, or should we make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or should a petition under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended, be filed by or against us, or should any guarantor of the Obligations hereunder terminate or revoke or attempt to terminate or revoke such guaranty, or should you deem yourselves insecure, or should we fail to pay promptly any amount due hereunder, or should we be in default under any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, of any other agreement or agreements now or hereafter effective between us, then, and in any of the aforesaid events, the party aggrieved shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time without notice. Upon termination, all of our Obligations to you shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding such termination, all the terms, conditions and provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights created or obligations incurred hereunder prior to termination and all our Obligations have been fully disposed of, concluded, paid, satisfied and liquidated. No delay or failure on your part in exercising any right, privilege or option hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such or of any other right, privilege or option, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing signed by you and then only to the extent therein stated.

You may terminate this Agreement at any time without notice to us should we breach any of our Obligations hereunder or under any other agreement or document evidencing financial arrangements between us, or should you deem yourself insecure. If any Obligation of ours to you is collected by or through an attorney, we agree to pay all costs and expenses of collection, including fifteen (15%) percent of the total amount involved as attorneys' fees. No termination of this Agreement shall terminate or adversely affect your rights hereunder or under any other agreement or document evidencing financial arrangements between us.
14.

15. THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL OTHER AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

The Secured Party may from time to time, at its option, perform any agreement of the Borrower hereunder which the Borrower shall fail to perform and take any other action which the Secured Party deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of any of the Collateral or its interest therein, and the Borrower agrees to forthwith reimburse the Secured Party for all expenses of the Secured Party in connection with the foregoing, together with interest thereon at the rate of 12% per annum.
The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a Default (as such term is used herein): (a) non-payment, when due, of any amount payable on any of the Obligations or failure to perform any agreement of the Undersigned contained herein; (b) if any statement, representation or warranty of the Borrower herein or in any other writing at any time furnished by the Borrower to the Secured Party is untrue in any material respect as of the date made; (c) if the Borrower becomes insolvent or unable to pay debts as they mature or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or an order for relief is entered against the Borrower following the filing of any petition by or against it pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, as amended or voluntarily takes the benefit of any debtor's relief proceeding (including the appointment of a receiver or trustee) under Federal or state law; (d) if an involuntary petition pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code is filed against the Borrower and is not dismissed for thirty (30) days or if a receiver is appointed for any of the property of the Borrower and is not dismissed for a period of thirty (30) days after such appointment or if a judgment is entered against the Borrower pursuant to which a sale of any part of the assets of the Borrower is scheduled for enforcement of said judgment or if a sale of any of the assets of the Borrower is scheduled pursuant to any other form of legal proceeding (including without limitation enforcement pursuant to the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code or exercise of a power of attorney contained in any deed to secure debt, trust deed or mortgage) instituted against the Borrower. Provided, that no such judgment, sale or enforcement shall be deemed a default pursuant to this sub-section (d) in the event the Borrower furnishes a surety company bond from a company acceptable to Secured Party in lieu of discharge, judgment, lien or foreclosure at the earlier of (i) five (5) days prior to the date upon which such enforcement or sale is scheduled, or (ii) ten (10) days after such judgment, enforcement, lien, sale or foreclosure is first entered, scheduled or instituted; (e) the dissolution, merger or consolidation, or transfer of a substantial part of the property of the Borrower; (f) the sale, transfer or exchange, either directly or indirectly, of a controlling stock interest of the Borrower; or (g) if Secured Party reasonably deems itself insecure for any other reason whatsoever.

Whenever a Default shall exist, all Obligations may (notwithstanding any provisions thereof), at the option of Secured Party, and without demand or notice of any kind, be declared, and thereupon immediately shall become in default and due and payable; and the Secured Party may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under applicable law. The Borrower agrees, in case of Default, to assemble, at its expense, all the Collateral at a convenient place acceptable to the Secured Party and to pay all costs of the Secured Party of collection of all of the Obligations, and enforcement of rights hereunder (including 15% of amounts due as attorneys' fees) and legal expenses and expenses of any repairs to any realty or other property to which any of the Collateral may be affixed or be a part.
In the event of Default, the Borrower will (except as the Secured Party may otherwise consent in writing) forthwith upon receipt, transmit and deliver to the Secured Party in the form received all cash, checks, draft items, chattel paper and other instruments for the payment of money (properly endorsed where required) so that such items may be collected by the Secured Party which may be received by the Borrower at any time in full or partial payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Collateral. Except as the Secured Party may otherwise consent in writing, upon default such proceeds which may be received by the Borrower will not be commingled with any other of its funds or property but will be held separate and apart from its own funds or property and upon express trust for the Secured Party until delivery is made to the Secured Party. The Borrower will comply with the terms and conditions of any consent given by the Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph.
In the event of default as defined herein or in the Agreement, the Borrower agrees that the actual amount of damages by Secured Party shall be difficult and impossible to determine, and that the remedies of Secured Party to recover such damages may be inadequate; therefore, Secured Party is authorized to enforce its rights hereunder by injunctive or other equitable relief without regard to the existence of actual damages. The Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints, upon Default, any officer of the Secured Party its true and lawful agent and attorney in fact for the purpose of filing any and all notices of lien and waivers thereof, actions, lawsuits and other appropriate documents to enforce the rights of Secured Party in and to any of the Non-Inventory Collateral.
If any notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral is required by law, such notification, if mailed, shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if mailed at least five (5) days before such disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to the Borrower either at the address shown above, or at any other address of the Borrower which the Secured Party reasonably believes to be the Borrower's then current address. Any and all other notices given to the Borrower shall be deemed when personally delivered or when mailed registered or certified mail and addressed to the Borrower as provided in the preceding sentence.
Any proceeds of any disposition of any of the Collateral may be applied by the Secured Party to the payment of expenses in connection with the Collateral, (including 15% of amounts due as attorneys' fees) and legal expenses, and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by the Secured Party toward the payment of such of the Obligations, and in such order of application, as the Secured Party may from time to time elect.
The Secured Party may exercise any right or remedy provided herein in its discretion without exercising any other right or remedy provided herein. The Secured Party shall be under no duty to exercise any or all of the rights and remedies given by this agreement. No forbearance or indulgence shall operate as a waiver of any right or remedy of Secured Party or obligation of the Borrower and no single or partial exercise by the Secured Party of any rights or remedy shall preclude, as other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy and unless Secured Party shall otherwise agree in writing, Secured Party shall be entitled to invoke any remedy available to Secured Party under any agreement or by law or in equity and enforce any covenant or condition against the Borrower despite said forbearance or indulgence.
The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if the Secured Party takes such action for that purpose as the Borrower shall request in writing, but failure of the Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care and no failure of the Secured Party to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral against prior parties or do any act with respect to the preservation of the Collateral not so requested by the Borrower shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral.

The delivery of any checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money to Secured Party shall not constitute payment thereof until such checks, drafts or other items are finally paid.
Time is of the essence of this agreement.
If this agreement is not dated when executed by the Borrower, the Secured Party is authorized, without notice to the Borrower, to date this agreement.
This agreement has been delivered in the State of Georgia and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State. Wherever possible, each provision of this agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this agreement.
The rights and privileges of the Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this agreement has been duly executed under seal as of the 24th day of May, 2011.
