THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of December 31, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), by and among QUEST SOLUTION, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), QUEST MARKETING, INC., an Oregon corporation (“QMI”), BAR CODE SPECIALTIES, INC., a California corporation (“BCSI”; and together with QMI, individually, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”) and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Lender”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 7.1.  The parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

CREDIT TERMS

SECTION 1.1

LINE OF CREDIT.

(a)

Line of Credit.  

(i)

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make advances to Borrowers under this Section 1.1 (“Advances”), from time to time up to and including the Termination Date, in a total amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (a) $8,000,000 (the “Maximum Revolver Amount”) minus Letter of Credit Usage, and (b) the sum of the following (the “Borrowing Base”):

(A)

Eighty-five percent (85%) of Eligible Accounts of Borrowers, less

(B)

Letter of Credit Usage, less

(C)

all Reserves, less

(D)

any other Obligations (other than amounts under the Line of Credit and Letter of Credit Usage).

The Borrowing Base will be determined by Lender upon receipt and review of all collateral reports required under this Agreement and such other documents and collateral information as Lender may from time to time reasonably require.  “Line of Credit” means the line of credit established under this Section 1.1. “Account” means an account as that term is defined in the Code. “Account Debtor” means an account debtor as that term is defined the Code. “Inventory” means inventory as that term is defined in the Code. “Dilution” means, with respect to any period of determination selected by Lender, a percentage that is the result of dividing the dollar amount of the aggregate of all bad debt write-downs, discounts, allowances, credits, deductions and other dilutive items for such period as determined by Lender in its Permitted Discretion with respect to Borrowers’ Accounts for such period, by Borrowers’ billings with respect to Accounts for such period.  If Dilution with respect to Borrowers at any time exceeds five percent (5%) of Borrowers’ gross sales for any such period, or if there at any time exists any other matters, events, conditions or contingencies which Lender reasonably believes may affect payment of any portion of Borrowers’ Accounts, Lender may, in its Permitted Discretion, establish, and adjust from time to time, Reserves in the Borrowing Base.  “Reserves” means, as of any date of determination, an amount or percentage of a specific category or item that Lender establishes in its Permitted Discretion from time to time to reduce availability under the Line of Credit to reflect events, conditions, contingencies, or risks which are reasonably likely to affect the assets or business of any of the Borrowers or any of the Collateral or its value or the enforceability, perfection or priority of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, including without limitation reserves for Dilution and Bank Products.

(b)

Eligible Accounts” consist solely of Accounts created and invoiced by a Borrower in the ordinary course of such Borrower’s business that arise out of the sale of goods or the rendition of services, upon which Borrower’s right to receive payment is absolute and not contingent upon the fulfillment of any condition, and in which Lender has a perfected first-priority security interest, but will not include:






(i)

any Account which is unpaid more than 90 days from original invoice date which payment shall be no later than 30 days after the date of such invoice;

(ii)

that portion of any Account for which there exists any right of setoff, defense, dispute or discount (except regular discounts allowed in the ordinary course of business to promote prompt payment) or for which any defense or counterclaim has been asserted;

(iii)

Accounts with respect to which the Account Debtor is subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, is not solvent, has gone out of business, or as to which such Borrower has received notice of an imminent Insolvency Proceeding or a material impairment of the financial condition of such Account Debtor;

(iv)

any Account which represents an obligation of the United States government, any state or any other political subdivision (except Accounts which represent obligations of the United States government and for which the assignment provisions of the Federal Assignment of Claims Act have been complied with to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction);

(v)

any Account which represents an obligation of an Account Debtor located in a foreign country other than an Account Debtor located in a Canadian province or territory (excluding Quebec), except to the extent any such Account is supported by a letter of credit, insured under a policy of foreign credit insurance, in each case in form, substance and issued by a party reasonably acceptable to Lender;

(vi)

any Account which arises from the sale or lease to or performance of services for, or represents an obligation of, an employee, Affiliate, partner, member, parent or Subsidiary of any Borrower;

(vii)

that portion of any Account, which represents interim or progress billings or title retention rights on the part of the Account Debtor;

(viii)

any Account which represents an obligation of any Account Debtor or its Affiliates if twenty five percent (25%) or more of Borrowers’ Accounts from such Account Debtor or its Affiliates are not eligible under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this definition;

(ix)

that portion of any Account owing from an Account Debtor or its Affiliates which represents the amount by which Borrowers’ Accounts owing from said Account Debtor and its Affiliates exceeds fifteen percent (15%) of Borrowers’ total Eligible Accounts;

(x)

Accounts representing credit card or “C.O.D.” sales;

(xi)

Accounts arising in a transaction where Goods are placed on consignment or are sold pursuant to a guaranteed sale, a sale or return, a sale on approval, or any other terms by reason of which the payment by the Account Debtor may be conditional or contingent;

(xii)

that portion of Accounts which has been restructured, extended, amended or otherwise modified;

(xiii)

Accounts that are not payable in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars;

(xiv)

bill and hold invoices, except those with respect to which Lender shall have received an acceptable agreement in writing from the Account Debtor confirming the unconditional obligation of the Account Debtor to take the goods related to the Account and pay such invoice, so long as such Accounts satisfy all other criteria for Eligible Accounts;

(xv)

Accounts which have not been invoiced;





(xvi)

that portion of any Account which represents finance charges, service charges, sales taxes, or excise taxes;

(xvii)

Accounts related to business conducted by BCSI’s label division; or

(xviii)

any other Account deemed ineligible by Lender in its sole discretion.

(c)

Letter of Credit Subfacility.  As a subfacility under the Line of Credit, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees during the term of this Agreement to issue or cause an Affiliate to issue letters of credit for the account of one or more Borrowers for purposes reasonably acceptable to Lender (“Letters of Credit”); provided however, (i) that the aggregate Letter of Credit Usage will not at any time exceed $500,000 and (ii) Lender shall have determined that there is Availability for any such Letter of Credit. The form and substance of each Letter of Credit will be subject to approval by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, and Borrowers shall execute and deliver such additional letter of credit agreements, applications and other documents required by Lender as a condition to the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit will be issued for a term not to exceed 365 days, as designated by any Borrower; provided that no Letter of Credit will have an expiration date after the Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit will be issued under, and subject to, the additional terms and conditions of the letter of credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by Lender. Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit will be deemed an Advance under the Line of Credit and will be repaid by Borrowers in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such Advances; provided however, that if Advances under the Line of Credit are not available for any reason at the time any drawing is paid by Lender, then Borrowers will immediately pay to Lender the full amount drawn, together with interest on such amount from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrowers, at the rate of interest applicable to Advances under the Line of Credit. In such event Borrowers agree that Lender may debit any account maintained by any of the Borrowers with Lender for the amount of any such drawing. “Letter of Credit Usage” means, as of any date, the sum of (i) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, and (ii) the aggregate amount of outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit which remain unreimbursed or which have not been paid through a deemed Advance.

(d)

Borrowing and Repayment. So long as Lender has not separately agreed that Borrowers may use Lender’s Loan Manager service (“Loan Manager”), each of the Borrowers may from time to time during the term of the Line of Credit request Advances, partially or wholly repay amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit, and reborrow the same, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Any request for Advance must be received by Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day that funding is requested. If at any time the aggregate outstanding Advances under the Line of Credit exceeds the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount minus Letter of Credit Usage, minus Reserves in accordance with Section 1.1(a) above or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrowers will immediately pay Lender such excess. No request for an Advance will be deemed received until Lender acknowledges the request. All Advances will be repaid by Borrowers even if the Person requesting the Advance on behalf of any Borrower lacks authorization.

(e)

Advances Through Loan Manager.  If Lender has separately agreed that Borrowers may use Loan Manager, Advances (i) will be made solely by Loan Manager, and (ii) will be initiated by Lender and credited to Borrower’s operating account maintained with Lender as Advances as of the end of each Business Day in an amount sufficient to maintain an agreed upon ledger balance in such Borrower’s operating account maintained with Lender, subject to Availability. Lender may terminate Borrowers’ access to the Loan Manager service at any time in its sole discretion.  If Lender terminates Borrowers’ access to Loan Manager, each Borrower may continue to request Line of Credit Advances as provided in Section 1.1(e) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Lender will have no obligation to make an Advance through Loan Manager during a Default Period, or in an amount in excess of Availability.

(f)

Protective Advances: Advances to Pay Obligations Due.  Lender may make Advances under the Line of Credit in its reasonable discretion without request of any Borrower and without any Borrower’s compliance with any of the conditions of this Agreement, and (i) disburse the proceeds directly to third Persons in order to protect Lender’s interest in Collateral or to perform any of Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) apply the proceeds to any Obligations then due and payable.





(g)

Payments; Collection Account.  All payments by Borrowers will be made as directed by Lender or as otherwise specified in the other Loan Documents, without setoff, counterclaim or defense.  Loan Parties will instruct all Account Debtors to deliver such payments to Lender by wire transfer, ACH, or other means as Lender may direct for deposit to a deposit account established with Lender (the “Collection Account”) or for direct application to reduce outstanding Advances or such other Obligations as Lender shall determine.  All payments received by Lender will be applied to reduce outstanding Obligations in such manner as Lender determines in its Permitted Discretion. If any Loan Party receives payment or the proceeds of Collateral directly, such Loan Party will promptly deposit the payment or proceeds into the Collection Account. Until deposited, each Loan Party will hold all such payments and proceeds in trust for Lender without commingling with other funds or property. For purposes of calculating Availability, unless otherwise provided in any cash management or other agreement between any of the Loan Parties and Lender, each payment will be applied to the Obligations as of the first Business Day following the Business Day of deposit to the Collection Account of immediately available funds or other receipt of immediately available funds by Lender, provided such payment is received in accordance with Lender’s usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time.  Any payment received by Lender that is not a transfer of immediately available funds will be considered provisional until the item or items representing such payment have been finally paid under applicable law.  Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers will be deemed not to have made such payment, and that portion of Borrowers’ outstanding Obligations corresponding to the amount of such dishonored payment item will be deemed to bear interest as if the dishonored payment item had never been received by Lender.  Each reduction in outstanding Obligations resulting from the application of such payment to the outstanding Obligations will be accompanied by an equal reduction in the amount of outstanding Accounts.

(h)

Charges to Loan Account; Clearance Charge.  Lender will maintain an account on its books and records in the name of Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) in which will be recorded all Advances made by Lender, all Letters of Credit issued and all other payment Obligations. Borrowers authorize Lender to collect all principal, interest and fees due under the Line of Credit facility by charging the Loan Account, or any other deposit account maintained by any Borrower with Lender. Should there be insufficient funds in the Loan Account or any such other account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency will be immediately due and payable by Borrowers.  All cash, checks, notes, instruments, and other items of payment (including insurance proceeds, cash proceeds of asset sales, rental proceeds, and tax refunds) (collectively, “Collections”) received by Lender will be applied as provided in Section 1.1(h).  All monthly statements relating to the Loan Account or such account will be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and Lender unless Borrowers deliver written objection to Lender within 30 days after receipt by Borrowers. Obligations paid with Collections will continue to accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances for one Business Day following the Business Day that such Collections were applied to the Obligations.  This one Business Day clearance charge on all Collections is acknowledged by the parties to constitute an integral aspect of the pricing of the financing of Borrowers (and will apply whether or not there are any outstanding Obligations). The parties acknowledge and agree that the economic benefit of the these provisions will accrue exclusively to Lender.

(i)

Mandatory Payment of Advances.   If at any time the sum of the outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit Usage exceeds either the Maximum Revolver Amount, less Reserves in accordance with Section 1.1(a) above or the Borrowing Base calculated without regard to Letter of Credit Usage (the “Overadvance Amount”), then Borrowers shall immediately upon demand by Lender repay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to the Overadvance Amount.  If payment in full of outstanding Advances is insufficient to eliminate the Overadvance Amount and Letter of Credit Usage continues to exceed the Borrowing Base, Borrowers shall cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Usage in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Overadvance Amount.

SECTION 1.2

RESERVED.

SECTION 1.3

INTEREST/FEES.

(a)

Interest.  Except as provided in Section 1.3(b), the outstanding principal balance of Advances will bear interest on the Daily Balance of such Advances at a variable per annum rate equal to Daily Three Month LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin;





(b)

Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (a “Default Period”) and at any time following the Termination Date, at the sole discretion of Lender, (i) the outstanding principal balance of Advances will bear interest on the Daily Balance of such Obligations at a per annum rate equal to 2% above the per annum rate otherwise applicable under Section 1.3(a); and (ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for in Schedule A will be increased by 2% above the per annum rate otherwise applicable under Schedule A (such rate, the “Default Rate”).

Lender may assess the Default Rate commencing as of the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default or as of any date after the occurrence of an Event of Default regardless of the date of reporting or declaration of such Event of Default.

(c)

Payment of Interest.  Interest will be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date.

(d)

Payment of Fees.  Borrowers will pay to Lender the fees set forth on Schedule A.

(e)

Computation of Interest and Fees.  Interest and fees will be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

SECTION 1.4

ADDITIONAL COSTS.

(a)

Capital Requirements. Borrowers will pay Lender, on demand, for Lender’s costs or losses arising from any Change in Law which are allocated to this Agreement or any credit outstanding under this Agreement. The allocation will be made as determined by Lender, using any reasonable method. The costs include, without limitation, (i) any reserve or deposit requirements (excluding any reserve requirement already reflected in the calculation of the interest rate in this Agreement); and (ii) any capital requirements relating to Lender’s assets and commitments for credit. “Change in Law” means the occurrence, after the date of this Agreement, of the adoption or taking effect of any new or changed law, rule, regulation or treaty, or the issuance of any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any governmental authority; provided that (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives issued in connection with that Act, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by Lender for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, will in each case be deemed to be a “Change in Law,” regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(b)

Illegality; Impractibility; Increased Costs.  In the event that (i) any change in market conditions or any Change in Law make it unlawful or impractical for Lender to fund or maintain extensions of credit with interest based upon Daily Three Month LIBOR or to continue to so fund or maintain, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Daily Three Month LIBOR, (ii) Lender determines that by reasons affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily Three Month LIBOR, or (iii) Lender determines that the interest rate based on the Daily Three Month LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining or funding Advances at the interest rate based upon Daily Three Month LIBOR, Lender will give notice of such changed circumstances to Borrowers and (a) interest on the principal amount of such extensions of credit will then accrue interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and (b) Borrowers will not be entitled to elect Daily Three Month LIBOR until Lender determines that the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iii) no longer exist.

SECTION 1.5

TERM AND TERMINATION.

(a)

Termination Date. Lender’s obligations under this Agreement will continue for a term ending on the earliest of the following (the “Termination Date”): (i) December 31, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) or (ii) the date the Line of Credit has been terminated by Borrowers or (iii) the date the Lender’s obligation to extend further credit under this Agreement terminates following an Event of Default. On the Termination Date, all obligations of Lender to provide Advances or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will automatically terminate and all of the Obligations (other than Obligations under any Hedge Agreement, which will be terminated pursuant to the applicable Hedge Agreement) will immediately become due and payable without notice or demand, and Borrowers




will immediately repay all of the Obligations in full (including providing cash collateral (on terms and conditions and pursuant to agreements reasonably required by Lender (the “L/C Collateral Conditions”)) to be held by Lender for the benefit of Lender in an amount equal to 105% of the then existing Letter of Credit Usage). No termination of the obligations of Lender will relieve or discharge Borrowers of their duties, obligations, or covenants under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.  The relevant Bank Product Provider and Lender may require cash collateralization of Obligations with respect to any then existing Bank Product in an amount reasonably acceptable to such Bank Product Provider and Lender.

(b)

Termination of Liens.  Upon repayment in full of the Obligations and termination of the commitments hereunder, Lender will, at Borrowers’ expense, immediately release or terminate any filings or other agreements that perfect the Lender’s Liens in the Collateral upon Lender’s receipt of each of the following, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Lender: (i) cash payment in full of all Obligations (including termination of all Obligations under any Hedge Agreement, which will be terminated and paid pursuant to the applicable Hedge Agreement) and completed performance by Borrowers with respect to its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including providing cash collateral to be held by Lender for the benefit of Lender in an amount equal to 105% of the then existing Letter of Credit Usage and subject to satisfaction of the L/C Collateral Conditions), (ii) evidence that any obligation of Lender to make Advances to Borrowers, issue Letters of Credit or provide any further extensions of credit to or for the benefit of Borrowers has been terminated, (iii) a general release of all claims against Lender and its Affiliates by Borrowers relating to the Line of Credit and Lender’s performance and obligations under the Loan Documents, and (iv) an agreement by Borrowers and each Loan Party to indemnify Lender and its Affiliates for any payments received by Lender or its Affiliates that are applied to the Obligations as a final payoff that may later be returned or otherwise not paid for any reason.

(c)

Termination by Borrowers. Borrowers may terminate the Line of Credit at any time prior to the Maturity Date, if they (i) deliver a written notice to Lender of their intention at least 30 days prior to the proposed action, (ii) pay to Lender the applicable termination and prepayment fees specified in this Agreement, and (iii) pay the Obligations in full and satisfy the L/C Collateral Conditions (to the extent of any outstanding Letters of Credit). Any such termination will be irrevocable.

SECTION 1.6

SECURITY AGREEMENT. To secure the Obligations, each Loan Party and Lender are entering into one or more Security Agreements, pursuant to which each Loan Party is granting Lender, for the benefit of Lender and Lender’s Affiliates, a security interest in the Collateral (as amended from time to time, collectively, the “Security Agreement”).

Each Loan Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its organization and is qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which such qualification or licensing is required or in which the failure to so qualify or to be so licensed could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each of the Loan Documents to which it




is a party do not violate any provision of any law or regulation, or contravene any provision of such Loan Party’s organizational documents, or result in any breach of or default under any material contract, obligation, indenture or other instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which such Loan Party or its assets may be bound.

SECTION 2.8

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.  Except as set forth on Schedule B, each of the Loan Parties is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal or state environmental, hazardous waste, health and safety statutes, and any rules or regulations related to such statutes, which govern or affect any Loan Party’s operations and/or properties. None of the operations of any Loan Party is the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action involving a material expenditure is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment.
