SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES
Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties made in, this Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents, Lender agrees, to the extent
and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to make the Commitment available to Borrowers as set forth
hereinbelow:
2.1. Commitment.
2.1.1. Revolver Loans. Lender agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers on any Business Day during the period from
the Closing Date through the Business Day before the last day of the DIP Term, not to exceed
(except as may be otherwise authorized in the DIP Financing Orders with respect to the funding of
the Carve-Out) in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time the Commitment at such time,
which Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement; provided, however, that Lender shall have no obligation to Borrowers
whatsoever to honor any request for a Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date or
any request for a Revolver Loan that would exceed Availability but Lender may do so in its
discretion. The Revolver Loans shall bear interest as set forth in Section 3.1. Each Revolver
Loan shall, at the option of Borrowers, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or
more Borrowings that, unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of Base Rate
Loans or LIBOR Loans.
2.1.2. Out-of-Formula Loans. If the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans and LC
Obligations should exceed Availability at any time (in such case, an “Out-of-Formula
Condition”), such Revolver Loans and LC Obligations shall nevertheless constitute Obligations
that are secured by the Collateral and entitled to all of the benefits of the DIP Loan Documents.
In the event that Lender in its discretion is willing to make Out-of-Formula Loans, such
Out-of-Formula Loans shall be due and payable as provided in Section 5.2.1(iii) and shall bear
interest as provided in Section 3.1.5.
2.1.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolver Loans may be used by Borrowers
during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases exclusively for one or more of the following purposes:
(a) to pay expenses and fees required to be paid to the office of the clerk of the Court or the
office of the U.S. Bankruptcy Administrator; (b) to pay Professional Expenses of Professional
Persons, subject to any limitations in the DIP Financing Orders, allowance by the Court, Borrowers’
receipt of an itemized billing and expense statement from such Professional Person and Lender’s
right to object to the allowance of any such Professional Expenses, subject to the terms of the DIP
Financing Orders; (c) to pay any of the Obligations; (d) to pay property taxes with respect to any
Collateral to the extent nonpayment thereof is secured by a Lien senior to Lender’s Liens thereon;
and (e) to pay other obligations incurred during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases in the
Ordinary Course of Business or as authorized by the Court in orders entered in the Chapter 11 Cases
and, solely during the Interim Period, in accordance with (and in amounts not to exceed 110% of the
amounts provided for in) the Interim DIP Budget. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, in no event shall proceeds of Revolver Loans or proceeds of any Collateral be
used to pay Professional Expenses incurred in connection with the assertion of, joinder in or
support of any claim, counterclaim, action, contested matter, objection, defense
-32-
or other proceeding, the purpose of which is to seek or the result of which would be to obtain
any order, judgment, declaration, or similar relief (i) seeking damages from Lender on account of
any alleged cause of action arising on, before or after the Petition Date; (ii) invalidating,
setting aside, avoiding or subordinating, in whole or in part, (A) any of the Obligations, or
(B) any of the Liens in any of the Collateral granted to Lender under any of the DIP Loan Documents
or the DIP Financing Orders; (iii) declaring any of the DIP Loan Documents to be invalid, not
binding or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) preventing, enjoining, hindering or otherwise
delaying Lender’s enforcement of any of the DIP Loan Documents, or any realization upon any
Collateral (unless such enforcement or realization is in direct violation of an explicit provision
in any of the DIP Financing Orders); (v) declaring any Liens granted or purported to be granted
under any of the DIP Loan Documents to have a priority other than the priority set forth therein or
in the DIP Financing Orders; or (vi) seeking to use the cash proceeds of any of the Collateral,
other than as expressly authorized by the DIP Financing Orders, without the prior written consent
of Lender. Nothing in this Section 2.1.3 shall be construed to waive Lender’s right to object to
any requests, motions or applications made in or filed with the Court, including any applications
for interim or final allowances of Professional Expenses, subject to the terms of the DIP Financing
Orders.
2.1.4. 364(c)(1) and 503(b) Priority. All Revolver Loans and other credit
accommodations made by Lender to any Borrower shall constitute and be deemed a cost and expense of
administration in the Chapter 11 Cases and shall be entitled to administrative status under
Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and priority under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code
ahead of all other costs and expenses of administration incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases or in any
superseding Chapter 7 case, subject to the Carve-Out.
2.2. Reserved.
2.3. LC Facility.
2.3.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to all of the terms and conditions
hereof, Lender agrees to establish the LC Facility pursuant to which, during the period from the
date hereof to (but excluding) the 30th day prior to the last day of the DIP Term, Lender shall
issue one or more Letters of Credit on Borrower Agent’s request therefor from time to time, subject
to the following terms and conditions:
(i) Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (x) at least
three (3) Business Days prior to the date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, Lender receives
an LC Request, LC Application and such other instruments and agreements as Lender may
customarily require for the issuance of a letter of credit of equivalent type and amount as
the requested Letter of Credit, and (y) each of the LC Conditions is satisfied on the date
of Lender’s receipt of the LC Request and at the time of the requested issuance of a Letter
of Credit.
(ii) Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower only if they are to be used (a)
to support obligations of such Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries (including with respect
to discontinued operations), on a standby basis, (b) as documentary Letters of Credit, or
(c) for such other purposes as Lender may approve from time to time in writing.
(iii) Borrowers shall comply with all of the terms and conditions imposed on Borrowers
by Lender that are contained in any LC Application or in any other agreement executed by or
binding upon any Borrower that is customarily or reasonably required by Lender in connection
with the issuance of any Letter of Credit. If Lender shall honor any request for payment
under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to
Lender, in Dollars on the same day as the date on which payment was made by Lender (the
-33-
“Reimbursement Date”), an amount equal to the amount paid by Lender under such
Letter of Credit (or, if payment thereunder was made by Lender in a currency other than
Dollars, an amount equal to the Dollar equivalent of such currency, as determined by Lender,
as of the time of Lender’s payment under such Letter of Credit, in each case), together with
interest from and after the Reimbursement Date until Full Payment is made by Borrowers at
the Default Rate for Revolver Loans constituting Base Rate Loans. Until Lender has received
payment from Borrowers in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause (iii),
Lender, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement and any LC
Application, shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary under
such Letter of Credit whose claims against Borrowers have been discharged with the proceeds
of such Letter of Credit. Whether or not a Borrower submits any Notice of Borrowing to
Lender, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested from Lender a Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans in an amount necessary to pay to Lender all amounts due Lender on any Reimbursement
Date.
(iv) As among Borrowers and Lender, Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions
or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The obligation of Borrowers
to reimburse Lender for any payment made by Lender under a Letter of Credit shall be
absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and joint and several and shall be paid without regard
to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any
claim, setoff, defense or other right which Borrowers may have at any time against a
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit. In connection with the issuance of any documentary
Letter of Credit, Lender shall not be responsible for the existence, character, quality,
quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any Goods purported to be represented by
any documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition,
packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in the documents; the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any documents or of any
endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; the time, place, manner or order in
which shipment of Goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure or omission
to ship, any or all of the goods referred to in a documentary Letter of Credit or documents
applicable thereto; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by the shipper
or any Person in connection with any goods or any shipping or delivery thereof; any breach
of contract between the shipper or vendors and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions
or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or
otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher, unless such errors, omissions, interruptions or
delays are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender; errors in
interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or any consequences
arising from causes beyond the control of Lender, including any act or omission (whether
rightful or wrongful) of any present or future Governmental Authority. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges of Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit shall be in addition to, and cumulative with, all rights, remedies, powers and
privileges of Lender under any of the LC Documents. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
release Lender from any liability or obligation that it may have in respect to any Letter of
Credit arising out of and directly resulting from its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
(v) No Letter of Credit shall be extended or amended in any respect that is not solely
ministerial, unless all of the LC Conditions are met as though a new Letter of Credit were
being requested and issued.
-34-
(vi) Unless otherwise provided in any of the LC Documents, each LC Application and each
standby Letter of Credit shall be subject to the then current Uniform Customs and Practice
for Documentary Credits and any amendments or revisions thereto.
2.3.2. Reserved.
2.3.3. Cash Collateral Account. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or
payable, shall for any reason be outstanding (i) at any time that an Event of Default exists, (ii)
on or at any time after the Commitment Termination Date, (iii) on the day that is thirty (30) days
prior to the last day of the DIP Term (except to the extent such LC Obligations relate to one or
more Extended Term Letters of Credit), or (iv) at any time that Availability is less than zero,
then Borrowers shall, on Lender’s request, forthwith pay to Lender the amount of any LC Obligations
that are then due and payable and Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit that are not
then due and payable. If notwithstanding the occurrence of one or more of the events described in
clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) in the immediately preceding sentence Borrowers fail to Cash
Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit that are not then due and payable on the first
Business Day following Lender’s demand therefor, Lender may advance such amount as Revolver Loans
(whether or not the Commitment Termination Date has occurred or an Out-of-Formula Condition is
created thereby). Such cash (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be held by Lender
in the Cash Collateral Account and shall be invested by Lender, within a reasonable amount of time
following Borrowers’ request, in Cash Equivalents. Each Borrower hereby pledges to Lender and
grants to Lender a security interest in all Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account
from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all Obligations
(including LC Obligations), whether or not then due or payable. From time to time after cash is
deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, Lender may apply Cash Collateral then held in the Cash
Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as Lender may elect, as shall be or
shall become due and payable by Borrowers to Lender with respect to the LC Obligations; provided,
that if at any time the LC Obligations are reduced without the application of Cash Collateral to
such LC Obligations, absent an Event of Default, the portion of Cash Collateral related to such LC
Obligations so reduced shall be promptly paid by Lender to Borrowers. Neither Borrowers nor any
other Person claiming by, through or under or on behalf of Borrowers shall have any right to
withdraw any of the Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account, including any accrued
interest, provided that upon termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the payment and
satisfaction of all of the LC Obligations, any Cash Collateral remaining in the Cash Collateral
Account shall be returned to Borrowers unless an Event of Default then exists (in which event
Lender may apply such Cash Collateral to the payment of any other Obligations outstanding and, to
the extent so applied, such Cash Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5 with any surplus to be turned over to Borrowers). The obligations of Borrowers under
this Section 2.3.3 shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and termination of the Commitment,
including any obligations with respect to Extended Term Letters of Credit that remain outstanding
beyond the Commitment Termination Date.
-35-
2.3.4. Indemnifications. In addition to and without limiting any other indemnity
which Borrowers may have to any Lender Indemnitee under any of the other DIP Loan Documents, each
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend each of the Lender Indemnitees and to hold each of
the Lender Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims which any Lender Indemnitee
may suffer, incur or be subject to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of (a) the issuance
of, payment or failure to pay or any performance or failure to perform under any Letter of Credit,
(b) any suit, investigation or proceeding as to which Lender is or may become a party to as a
consequence, directly or indirectly, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or the payment or
failure to pay thereunder or (c) Lender’s following any instructions of a Borrower with respect to
any Letter of Credit or any Document received by Lender with reference to any Letter of Credit.
2.3.5. Existing Letters of Credit. As of the Closing Date, there exists a certain
letter of credit issued by Lender for the account of Xxxxxxx, as more fully described on Schedule
2.3.5 hereto (the “Existing Letter of Credit”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that, concurrently with the making of the initial Revolver Loans hereunder, such Existing Letter of
Credit shall constitute a Letter of Credit hereunder for all purposes as fully as if such Existing
Letter of Credit had been issued on such date and pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3.1.
2.4. Bank Products. Borrowers may request Lender to provide, or to arrange for one or
more of its Affiliates to provide, Bank Products, but Lender shall not have any obligation
whatsoever to provide, or to arrange for the provision of, any Bank Products. If Bank Products are
provided by an Affiliate of Lender, Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all Claims at any time incurred by Lender that arise from any indemnity given by
Lender to such Affiliate that relate to such Bank Products; provided, however,
nothing contained herein is intended to limit Borrowers’ rights, with respect to Lender or any
Affiliate thereof, if any, which arise as a result of the execution of documents by and between
Borrowers (or any of them) and Lender or any of its Affiliates that relate to Bank Products.
Borrowers acknowledge that obtaining Bank Products from Lender or its Affiliates is in the
discretion of Lender or its Affiliates and is subject to all rules and regulations of Lender or its
Affiliates that are applicable to such Bank Products.
SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES
3.1. Interest.
3.1.1. Rates of Interest. Borrowers agree to pay interest in respect of all unpaid
principal amounts of the Revolver Loans from the respective dates such principal amounts are
advanced until paid (whether at stated maturity, on acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum
equal to the applicable rate indicated below:
(i) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as Base Rate Loans, the Applicable Margin
plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time; or
(ii) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as LIBOR Loans, the Applicable Margin
plus the relevant Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period selected by
Borrowers in conformity with this Agreement.
Upon determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers,
Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof. Such determination shall, absent manifest error,
be final, conclusive and binding on all parties and for all purposes. The applicable rate of
interest for all Revolver Loans (or portions thereof) bearing interest based upon the Base Rate
shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any increase or decrease
in the Base Rate, with
-36-
such adjustments to be effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change
in the Base Rate becomes effective. Interest on each Revolver Loan shall accrue from and including
the date on which such Revolver Loan is made, converted to a Revolver Loan of another Type or
continued as a LIBOR Loan to (but excluding) the date of any repayment thereof; provided,
however, that, if a Revolver Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall
be paid on such Revolver Loan.
3.1.2. Conversions and Continuations.
(i) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to the giving of a proper Notice of
Conversion/Continuation as hereinafter described, elect (A) to continue all or any part of a
LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period therefor, to commence on the last day of the
immediately preceding Interest Period, or (B) to convert all or any part of a Revolver Loan
of one Type into a Revolver Loan of another Type; provided, however, during
the period that any Default or Event of Default exists, Lender may declare that no Revolver
Loan may be made or continued as or converted into a LIBOR Loan. Any conversion of a LIBOR
Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on the last day of the Interest Period for such
LIBOR Loan.
(ii) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Revolver Loans under Section
3.1.2(i), Borrower Agent shall give Lender notice thereof in form satisfactory to Lender (a
“Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), at least one (1) Business Day before the
requested conversion date, in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans, and at least
three (3) Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date, in the case
of a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans. Each such Notice of
Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate principal
amount of the Revolver Loans to be converted or continued, the date of such conversion or
continuation (which shall be a Business Day) and whether the Revolver Loans are being
converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans (and, if so, the duration of the Interest Period
to be applicable thereto and, in the absence of any specification by Borrowers of the
Interest Period, an Interest Period of one month will be deemed to be specified) or Base
Rate Loans. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans,
Borrowers shall have failed to deliver the Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrowers
shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans.
3.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making or continuation of, or
conversion into, each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (each an
“Interest Period”) to be applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which interest period shall
commence on the date such LIBOR Loan is made and shall end on a numerically corresponding day in
the first, second, third or sixth month thereafter; provided, however, that:
(i) the initial Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of such
Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Revolver Loan of another Type) and
each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Revolver Loan shall commence on
the date on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;
(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day,
such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if any
Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans would otherwise expire on a day that is not a
Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such
month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;
-37-
(iii) any Interest Period that begins on a day for which there is no numerically
corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period shall expire on
the last Business Day of such calendar month; and
(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the last day of the DIP Term.
3.1.4. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Lender shall determine (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) that
on any date for determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any
changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market or Lender’s
position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable
interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then, and in any
such event, Lender shall forthwith give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to
Borrowers of such determination. Until Lender notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving
rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Loans
shall be suspended, and such affected Revolver Loans then outstanding shall, at the end of the then
applicable Interest Period or at such earlier time as may be required by Applicable Law, bear the
same interest as Base Rate Loans.
3.1.5. Default Rate of Interest. Borrowers shall pay interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Default Rate (i) with respect to the principal amount of all of the Obligations (and,
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest) upon the earlier to occur of
Borrower Agent’s receipt of notice from Lender of Lender’s election to charge the Default Rate
based upon the existence of any Event of Default, whether or not acceleration or demand for payment
of the Obligations has been made; and (ii) with respect to the principal amount of any
Out-of-Formula Loans upon Borrower Agent’s receipt of notice from Lender of Lender’s election to
charge the Default Rate with respect thereto, whether or not demand for payment of any of the
Out-of-Formula Loans has been made by Lender. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
the Default Rate shall apply and accrue on any judgment entered with respect to any of the
Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Lender attendant upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain or estimate and that the Default Rate
is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Lender for such added cost and expense. Interest
accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.
3.2. Fees. In consideration of Lender’s establishment of the Commitment in favor of
Borrowers, Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the following fees:
3.2.1. Closing Fee. Upon the entry of the Interim DIP Financing Order by the Court,
Borrowers shall pay to Lender a closing fee in the amount of $100,000, which shall be paid
concurrently with the funding of the initial Revolver Loans hereunder.
3.2.2. Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to
Lender a fee equal to 0.75% per annum of the amount by which $10,000,000 exceeds the Average
Revolver Loan Balance for any month (or portion thereof that the Commitment is in effect), such fee
to be paid monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each month; but if the Commitment Termination
Date shall occur on a day other than the first day of a month, then any such fee payable for the
month in which termination shall occur shall be paid on the Commitment Termination Date.
3.2.3. LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay:
(i) to Lender, for all Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin in effect for Revolver Loans that
are LIBOR Loans on a per annum basis based on the average amount available to be drawn under
Letters of Credit outstanding and all Letters of Credit that are paid or expire during the period
of measurement, payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following month; (ii)
to Lender a Letter of Credit
-38-
fronting fee of 0.125% per annum based on the average amount available to be drawn under all
Letters of Credit outstanding and all Letters of Credit that are paid or expire during the period
of measurement, payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following month; and
(iii) to Lender all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment,
processing and administration of all Letters of Credit. All Letter of Credit fees (other than the
fronting fee) that are expressed as a percentage shall be increased to a percentage that is 2%
greater than the percentage that would otherwise be applicable to LIBOR Loans when the Default Rate
is in effect.
3.2.4. Audit and Appraisal Fees and Expenses. Borrowers shall be jointly and
severally liable to Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including
standard and actual fees charged by Lender’s internal appraisal department) in connection with (i)
audits and reviews of any Obligor’s books and records and such other matters pertaining to any
Obligor or any Collateral as Lender shall deem appropriate, and shall pay to Lender the standard
amount charged by Lender per day ($1,000 per day as of the Closing Date) for each day that an
employee or agent of Lender shall be engaged in an examination or review of any Obligor’s books and
records, provided, that, unless a Default or Event of Default exists at the time
any audit or review is initiated (in which event there shall be no limit on the number of
examinations and reviews for which Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse Lender), Borrowers
shall not be obligated to reimburse Lender for the costs, expenses or charges associated with more
than two audits or reviews initiated during a Loan Year, and (ii) appraisals of Inventory no more
frequently than one per Loan Year, unless a Default or Event of Default exists (in which event,
there shall be no limit on the number of appraisals for which Borrowers shall be obligated to
reimburse Lender). The foregoing shall not be construed to limit Lender’s right to conduct audits
as provided in Section 10.1.1 or otherwise obtain appraisals of the Collateral at the expense of
Lender.
3.2.5. Renewal Fees. Upon the satisfaction by Borrowers (or waiver by Lender) of
each Renewal Condition and the extension of the Outside Commitment Date for a 12-month renewal in
connection therewith, Borrowers agree to pay to the order of Lender the following renewal fees:
(a) on the first Business Day of each 12-month renewal period for each of the first and second
twelve-month renewal periods described in the definition of Outside Commitment Date, 0.75% of the
amount of the DIP Facility in effect on such date, (b) on the first Business Day of the 12-month
renewal period for the third such twelve-month renewal, 1.00% of the amount of the DIP Facility in
effect on such date, and (c) on the first Business Day of the 12-month renewal period for the
fourth such twelve-month renewal, 1.25% of the amount of the DIP Facility in effect on such date
(the first Business Day of each of the foregoing 12-month renewal periods is referred to herein as
a “Renewal Date”).
3.2.6. General Provisions. All fees shall be fully earned by the identified recipient
thereof pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the due date thereof (and, in the
case of Letters of Credit, upon each issuance, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit) and,
except as otherwise set forth herein or required by Applicable Law, shall not be subject to rebate,
refund or proration. All fees provided for in this Section 3.2 are and shall be deemed to be
compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge
for the use, forbearance or detention of money.
3.3. Computation of Interest and Fees. All fees and other charges provided for in
this Agreement that are calculated as a per annum percentage of any amount and all interest shall
be calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360
days. For purposes of computing interest and other charges hereunder, each Payment Item and other
form of payment received by Lender shall be deemed applied by Lender on account of the Obligations
(subject to final payment of such items) on the first Business Day after the Business Day on which
Lender receives such Payment Item in the applicable Payment Account or, in the case of Payment
Items constituting immediately available funds, on the Business Day on which Lender receives such
Payment Item in the
-39-
applicable Payment Account. Each determination by Lender of interest and fees hereunder shall
be presumptive evidence of the correctness of such interest and fees.
3.4. Reimbursement Obligations.
3.4.1. Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for any Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Lender, on
the sooner to occur of Lender’s demand therefor or Lender’s receipt of any proceeds of Collateral
in connection with any Enforcement Action (subject to the provisions of Section 5 with respect to
the application of any proceeds of Collateral). Borrowers shall also reimburse Lender for all
reasonable out-of-pocket legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting and other fees and expenses
suffered or incurred by Lender in connection with: (i) the negotiation and preparation of any of
the DIP Loan Documents, or any amendment or modification thereto; (ii) the administration of the
DIP Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby; (iii) action taken to perfect or
maintain the perfection or priority of any of Lender’s Liens with respect to any of the
Collateral; (iv) any inspection of or audits conducted by Lender with respect to any Obligor’s
books and records or any of the Collateral (subject to the limits set forth in Section 3.2.4); (v)
any effort by Lender to verify or appraise any of the Collateral (subject to the limits set forth
in Section 3.2.4); and (vi) the monitoring of, or participation in, the Chapter 11 Cases. All
amounts chargeable to or reimbursable by Borrowers under this Section 3.4 and under Section 3.2.4
shall constitute Obligations that are secured by all of the Collateral and shall be payable on
demand to Lender. Borrowers shall also reimburse Lender for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Lender in its administration of any of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner
provided in Section 8 or in any of the other DIP Loan Documents. The foregoing shall be in
addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other provision of any of the DIP Loan
Documents regarding the indemnification or reimbursement by Borrowers of Claims suffered or
incurred by Lender.
3.4.2. If at any time Lender, with the written consent of a Borrower (such consent to be
deemed given if a Borrower is a party to or acknowledges in writing any agreement giving rise to
the Obligation of Lender), shall agree to indemnify any Person against losses or damages that such
Person may suffer or incur in its dealings or transactions with any Obligor, or shall guarantee or
otherwise assure payment of any liability or obligation of any Obligor to such Person, or
otherwise shall provide assurances of any Obligors’ payment or performance under any agreement
with such Person, including indemnities, guaranties or other assurances of payment or performance
given by Lender with respect to Banking Relationship Debt, then the Contingent Obligation of
Lender providing any such indemnity, guaranty or other assurance of payment or performance,
together with any payment made or liability incurred by Lender in connection therewith, shall
constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral, and Borrowers shall repay, on demand,
any amount so paid or any liability incurred by Lender in connection with any such indemnity,
guaranty or assurance. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose upon Lender any obligation to
provide any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance. The foregoing agreement of Borrowers shall
survive termination of the Commitment and Full Payment of the Obligations and any other provisions
of the DIP Loan Documents regarding reimbursement or indemnification by Borrowers of Claims
suffered or incurred by Lender.
3.5. Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Lender, on demand, any and all fees, costs
or expenses which Lender pays to a bank or other similar institution arising out of or in
connection with (i) the forwarding to a Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower by
Lender of proceeds of Revolver Loans made by Lender to a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and
(ii) the depositing for collection by Lender of any Payment Item received or delivered to Lender on
account of the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may charge such
costs, fees and expenses to Borrowers based upon Lender’s good faith estimate of such costs, fees
and expenses as they are incurred by Lender.
-40-
3.6. Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
Agreement, if (i) any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any
Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for Lender to
make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with
respect to a LIBOR Loan or (ii) at any time Lender determines that the making or continuance of any
LIBOR Loan has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof
which adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of Lender in such market, then
Lender shall give after such determination Borrowers notice thereof and may thereafter (1) declare
that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by Lender, whereupon any request by a Borrower for a
LIBOR Loan from Lender shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan unless Lender’s declaration
shall be subsequently withdrawn (which declaration shall be withdrawn promptly after the cessation
of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above); and (2) require that
all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans, under the circumstances
of clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.6 insofar as Lender determines the
continuance of LIBOR Loans to be impracticable, in which event each of Lender’s outstanding LIBOR
Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans automatically on the expiration date of the respective
Interest Period applicable thereto (or, to the extent any such LIBOR Loan may not be lawfully
maintained as a LIBOR Loan until such expiration date, immediately upon such notice).
3.7. Increased Costs. If, by reason of (a) the introduction after the date hereof of
or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of Statutory Reserves or other
reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation by any Governmental
Authority, or (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority exercising control over banks or financial
institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law):
(i) Lender shall be subject after the date hereof to any Tax, duty or other charge with
respect to any LIBOR Loan or Letter of Credit or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or to
issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of
Letters of Credit, or a change shall result in the basis of taxation of payment to Lender of
the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, issue
Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters
of Credit (except for Excluded Taxes); or
(ii) any reserve (including any imposed by the Board of Governors), special deposits or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, Lender shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting
its LIBOR Loans or Letters of Credit or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or to issue
Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters
of Credit shall be imposed on Lender or the London interbank market;
and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of agreeing to make or
making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans or issuing Letters of Credit (except to the extent
already included in the determination of the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Loans), or
there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by Lender, then Lender shall,
promptly after determining the existence or amount of any such increased costs for which Lender
seeks payment hereunder, give Borrower Agent notice thereof, and Borrowers shall from time to time,
upon written notice from and demand by Lender, pay to Lender for the account of Lender, within five
(5) Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, an additional amount
sufficient to indemnify Lender against such increased costs. A certificate as to the amount of
such increased costs, submitted to Borrowers by Lender, shall be final, conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, however, that
-41-
Borrowers shall not be obligated to indemnify Lender for such increased costs for any period ninety
(90) days or more prior to the date Lender provides such notice.
If Lender shall determine at any time that, because of the circumstances described hereinabove
in this Section 3.7 or any other circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement generally
affecting the London interbank market, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as determined by Lender, will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding LIBOR Loans or issuing Letters of
Credit, then, and in any such event:
(i) Lender shall forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed promptly in writing) to
Borrowers of such event;
(ii) Borrowers’ right to request and Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Loans or to
issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of
Letters of Credit shall be immediately suspended and Borrowers’ right to continue a LIBOR
Loan as such beyond the then applicable Interest Period or to request a Letter of Credit
shall also be suspended, until each condition giving rise to such suspension no longer
exists; and
(iii) Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of the requested Borrowing of LIBOR
Loans, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.
For purposes of this Section 3.7, all references to Lender shall be deemed to include any bank
holding company or bank parent of Lender.
3.8. Capital Adequacy. If Lender determines that (i) the introduction after the date
hereof of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation,
(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any
central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or (iv) compliance by Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling Lender with
any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected
to be maintained by Lender or any Person controlling Lender and (taking into consideration Lender’s
or such corporation’s or other entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and Lender’s
desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence
of the Commitment, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then: (a) Lender shall
promptly give notice thereof to Borrowers; and (b) Borrowers shall pay to Lender as an additional
fee from time to time, on demand, such amount as Lender certifies to be the amount reasonably
calculated to compensate Lender for such reduction; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be
obligated to pay Lender for such amounts for any period ninety (90) days or more prior to the date
Lender provides such notice. A certificate of Lender claiming entitlement to compensation as set
forth above will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate will set forth
the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the additional amount or amounts to
be paid to Lender (including the basis for Lender’s determination of such amount), and the method
by which such amounts were determined. In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution method. For purposes of this Section 3.8, all references to Lender shall
be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of Lender.
3.9. Mitigation. Lender agrees that, with reasonable promptness after Lender becomes
aware that Lender is entitled to receive payments under Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8, or is or has
become subject to U.S. withholding taxes payable by any Borrower in respect of its Revolver Loans,
it will, to the extent not inconsistent with any internal policy of Lender or any applicable legal
or regulatory restriction, (i) use all reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the Commitment
or the Revolver Loans through another
-42-
lending office of Lender or (ii) take such other reasonable measures, if, as a result thereof,
the circumstances which would relieve Borrowers from their obligations to pay such additional
amounts (or reduce the amount of such payments), or such withholding taxes would be reduced, and if
the making, funding or maintaining of the Commitment or such Revolver Loans through such other
lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise
adversely affect such Commitment or Revolver Loans or the interests of Lender.
3.10. Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than due to a default by Lender, as a
result of Lender’s refusal to honor a LIBOR Loan request due to circumstances described in this
Agreement or as a result of the application of Section 3.7) a Borrowing of, or conversion to or
continuation of, LIBOR Loans does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing
or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), or if any repayment (including any
conversions pursuant to Section 3.1.2) of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date that is not the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if for any reason Borrowers default in their
obligation to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement, then Borrowers shall
be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Lender an amount equal to all losses and expenses
which Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence thereof, including any such loss or expense
arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Loans or
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrowers shall
pay all such amounts due to Lender upon presentation by Lender of a statement setting forth the
amount and Lender’s calculation thereof, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent
manifest error. For purposes of this Section 3.10, all references to Lender shall be deemed to
include any bank holding company or bank parent of Lender.
3.11. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the DIP Loan
Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are
contracted for, charged or received by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the
other DIP Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law exceed the highest rate
permissible under any Applicable Law (including, to the extent applicable, 18 U.S.C. § 85). No
agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other
DIP Loan Documents or the exercise by Lender of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity
of all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever contained in any
of the DIP Loan Documents, or the prepayment by Borrowers of any of the Obligations, or the
occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle Lender to charge or receive in any event,
interest or any charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by Applicable Law (such
interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to herein collectively as
“Interest”) in excess of the Maximum Rate and in no event shall Borrowers be obligated to
pay Interest exceeding such Maximum Rate, and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any,
which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrowers to
pay Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in
equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate. If any Interest is
charged or received with respect to the Obligations in excess of the Maximum Rate
(“Excess”), Borrowers stipulate that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an
accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to
reduce the principal of such Obligations and the balance, if any, returned to Borrowers, it being
the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship.
Each Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in Section
3.1.1, and the Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result could inadvertently occur. All monies
paid to Lender hereunder or under any of the other DIP Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by
prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent required by
Applicable Law. By the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or
return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by such Borrower of such Excess, and (ii) such
Borrower shall not seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Lender, based in
whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of the
-43-
Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted
for, charged or received by Lender, all Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received
from Borrowers in connection with any of the DIP Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full
term of the Obligations. Borrowers and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under
Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather
than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The provisions of
this Section 3.11 shall be deemed to be incorporated into every DIP Loan Document (whether or not
any provision of this Section is referred to therein). All such DIP Loan Documents and
communications relating to any Interest owed by Borrowers and all figures set forth therein shall,
for the sole purpose of computing the extent of Obligations, be automatically recomputed by
Borrowers, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits
required by this Section 3.11.
SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION
4.1. Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans. Borrowings under the Commitment
established pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be made and funded as follows:
4.1.1. Notice of Borrowing.
(i) Whenever Borrowers desire to make a Borrowing under Section 2.1 (other than a
Borrowing resulting from a conversion or continuation pursuant to Section 3.1.2), Borrowers
shall give Lender notice of such Borrowing request in form satisfactory to Lender (a
“Notice of Borrowing”). Such Notice of Borrowing shall be given by Borrower Agent
at the office designated by Lender from time to time (a) no later than 12:00 noon on the
Business Day of the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of Base Rate
Loans, and (b) no later than 1:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received
after such times shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Revolver Loans made
by Lender on the Closing Date, if any, shall be in excess of $250,000 and shall be made as
Base Rate Loans and thereafter may be made or continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans
or LIBOR Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice thereof) shall be
irrevocable and shall specify (I) the principal amount of the Borrowing, (II) the date of
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (III) whether the Borrowing is to consist of Base
Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, (IV) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the Interest
Period to be applicable thereto, (V) the applicable Borrower on behalf of which such request
is made, and (VI) the account of the applicable Borrower to which the proceeds of such
Borrowing are to be disbursed.
(ii) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any
amount required to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations (whether as principal,
accrued interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses and LC
Obligations, and any amounts owed to Lender or any Affiliate of Lender for Banking
Relationship Debt) shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for
the submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the due date of, and in an
aggregate amount required to pay, such Obligations, and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans
may be disbursed by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation and shall bear interest
as Base Rate Loans unless and until such Revolver Loans are converted to LIBOR Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(iii) If Borrowers elect to establish a Controlled Disbursement Account with Lender or
any Affiliate of Lender, then, at Lender’s election, the presentation for payment by Lender
(or
-44-
its Affiliate) of any check or other item of payment drawn on the Controlled
Disbursement Account at a time when there are insufficient funds in such account to cover
such check shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the
submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation and
in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the items presented for payment, and the
proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed to the Controlled Disbursement Account and
shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans.
(iv) Lender shall not have any obligation to honor any deemed request for a Revolver
Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date or when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists
or would result therefrom or when any condition precedent in Section 11 is not satisfied,
but may do so in its discretion, including by funding a Revolver Loan as contemplated by the
DIP Financing Orders to fund the Carve-Out.
4.1.2. Fundings by Lender. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lender shall make
the proceeds of the Revolver Loans available to Borrowers by disbursing such proceeds in accordance
with Borrower Agent’s disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.
Lender shall not have any liability on account of any delay by any bank or other depository
institution in treating the proceeds of any Revolver Loan as collected funds or any delay in
receipt, or any loss, of funds that constitute a Revolver Loan, the wire transfer of which was
initiated by Lender in accordance with wiring instructions provided to Lender.
4.1.3. Reserved.
4.1.4. Disbursement Authorization. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to
disburse the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested by any Borrower, or deemed to be requested
pursuant to Section 4.1.1, as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under
Section 4.1.1(i) shall be disbursed by Lender in accordance with the terms of the written
disbursement letter from Borrowers in the case of the initial Borrowing, and, in the case of each
subsequent Borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account of Borrowers as may be agreed upon by
Borrowers and Lender from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from any
Borrower that is approved by Lender; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under
Section 4.1.1(ii) shall be disbursed by Lender by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or
other Obligation. Any Revolver Loan proceeds received by any Borrower or in payment of any of the
Obligations shall be deemed to have been received by all Borrowers for purposes of the joint and
several liability of Borrowers hereunder, but shall be accounted for in accordance with GAAP to
reflect the liability on the financial record of the actual Borrower.
4.1.5. Notices. Each Borrower authorizes Lender to extend, convert or continue
Revolver Loans, effect selections of Types of Revolver Loans and transfer funds to or on behalf of
Borrowers based on telephonic or electronic instructions from any individual whom Lender in good
faith believes to be acting on behalf of any Borrower. Borrowers shall confirm each such
telephonic request for a Borrowing or conversion or continuation of Revolver Loans by prompt
delivery to Lender of the required Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as
applicable. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by
Lender, the records of Lender shall govern. Lender shall not have any liability for any loss
suffered by any Borrower as a result of Lender’s acting upon its understanding of telephonic or
electronic instructions or requests from a person believed in good faith by Lender to be a person
authorized by a Borrower to give such instructions or to make such requests on Borrowers’ behalf.
4.2. Reserved.
-45-
4.3. Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans.
4.3.1. Number of LIBOR Loans. In no event may the number of LIBOR Loans outstanding
at any time under this Agreement exceed 5.
4.3.2. Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 4.1.1(i),
and each continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 3.1.2, shall be in a
minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.
4.3.3. LIBOR Lending Office. Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to designate a different office of itself or of any Affiliate as Lender’s LIBOR Lending
Office, and to transfer any outstanding LIBOR Loans to such LIBOR Lending Office. No such
designation or transfer shall result in any liability on the part of Borrowers for increased costs
or expenses resulting solely from such designation or transfer. Increased costs for expenses
resulting from a change in Applicable Law occurring subsequent to any such designation or transfer
shall be deemed not to result solely from such designation or transfer.
4.3.4. Funding of LIBOR Loans. Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to
make, continue or convert LIBOR Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or
Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by Lender) to make or maintain such LIBOR
Loans; provided, however, that such LIBOR Loans shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and
to be held by Lender, and the obligation of Borrowers to repay such LIBOR Loans shall nevertheless
be to Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility.
The calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under Sections 3.7 and 3.10 shall be made as if
Lender had actually funded or committed to fund its LIBOR Loan through the purchase of an
underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan and having a maturity
comparable to the relevant Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans; provided, however, Lender may fund
its LIBOR Loans in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing presumption shall be utilized only for
the calculation of amounts payable under Sections 3.7 and 3.10.
4.4. Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxxxx Sealing, and
Xxxxxxx Sealing agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of itself and
each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such capacity, “Borrower
Agent”), including requesting Borrowings, submitting LC Requests, selecting whether any
Revolver Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, and
receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them)
from Lender. Lender may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Notice of Borrowing,
Notice of Conversion/Continuation, LC Request, disbursement instructions, reports, information,
Borrowing Base Certificate or any other notice or communication made or given by Borrower Agent,
whether in its own name, on behalf of any Borrower or on behalf of “Borrowers,” and Lender shall
have no obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other
Borrower as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such Notice of Borrowing, Notice of
Conversion Continuation, LC Request, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base Certificate
or other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ liability
for the Obligations be affected, provided that the provisions of this Section 4.4 shall not be
construed so as to preclude any Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other
actions permitted to be taken by “a Borrower” hereunder. Lender may maintain a single Loan Account
in the name of “Xxxxxxx Sealing” or “Xxxxxxxx” hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to
such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several
character of such Borrower’s liability for the Obligations.
-46-
4.5. All Loans to Constitute One Obligation. The Revolver Loans and LC Obligations
shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in
any Security Document) shall be secured by Lender’s Lien upon all of the Collateral;
provided, however, that Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of each Borrower
and the holder of a separate claim against each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly
and severally owed by Borrowers to Lender.
SECTION 5. PAYMENTS
5.1. General Payment Provisions. All payments (including all prepayments) of
principal of and interest on the Revolver Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations that are
payable to Lender shall be made to Lender in Dollars without any offset or counterclaim and free
and clear of (and without deduction for) any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), and, with respect
to payments made other than by application of balances in the applicable Payment Account, in
immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the due date (and payment made after such
time on the due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).
Borrowers shall, at the time Borrowers make any payment under this Agreement, specify to Lender the
Obligations to which such payment is to be applied and, if Borrowers fail so to specify or if the
application specified by Borrowers would be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or if an
Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply such payment to the Obligations in such manner as
Lender, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, may determine to be appropriate. At any time
and from time to time, to the extent Revolver Loans are not repaid by application of balances in
the applicable Payment Account (if required hereunder), Borrowers shall have the right to prepay
the Revolver Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in the
proviso below), upon written notice given to Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., three (3) Business
Days prior to each intended prepayment of LIBOR Loans and one (1) Business Day prior to each
intended prepayment of Base Rate Loans; provided that unless made together with all amounts
required under Section 3.10 to be paid as a consequence of such prepayment, a prepayment of a LIBOR
Loan may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each such notice
shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolver
Loans to be prepaid, whether such Revolver Loans are Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans (and, in the
case of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period of the Borrowing pursuant to which made), shall be
irrevocable and shall bind Borrowers to make such prepayment on the terms specified therein (except
to the extent that the amount of the Revolver Loans to be repaid is reduced by the application of
balances in the applicable Payment Account prior to the time of repayment). Revolver Loans prepaid
pursuant to this Section 5 may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
5.2. Repayment of Revolver Loans.
5.2.1. Payment of Principal. The outstanding principal amounts with respect to the
Revolver Loans shall be repaid as follows:
(i) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the principal amount of Base Rate
Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender, unless timely converted to a LIBOR Loan in
accordance with this Agreement, immediately upon (a) each receipt by Lender or Borrowers of
any proceeds of any of the Accounts or Inventory, to the extent of such proceeds, and (b)
the Commitment Termination Date.
(ii) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the principal amount of LIBOR
Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender, unless continued as a LIBOR Loan in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, immediately upon (a) the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto and (b) the Commitment Termination Date. In no event shall Borrowers be
authorized to make a voluntary prepayment with respect to any Revolver Loan outstanding as a
-47-
LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless
Borrowers pay to Lender concurrently with any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan, any amount due
Lender under Section 3.10 as a consequence of such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by Borrower Agent or unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall not apply any payments which
it receives (or any proceeds of Accounts or Inventory) to any LIBOR Loan, except on the
expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Loan; provided, that
Borrowers shall be required to pay breakage losses in accordance with Section 3.10 of this
Agreement if required thereunder. In the event that Lender receives, on any date when LIBOR
Loans are outstanding but no Base Rate Loans are outstanding, proceeds of any of the
Accounts or Inventory that are required to be used to prepay the principal amount of LIBOR
Loans, Lender may hold such proceeds as cash security for the Obligations represented by
such LIBOR Loans and apply such proceeds to such LIBOR Loans on the expiration date of the
Interest Period applicable thereto.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement,
if an Out-of-Formula Condition shall exist, Borrowers shall, on the sooner to occur of the
first Business Day after any Borrower has obtained knowledge thereof or Lender’s demand,
repay the outstanding Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an amount sufficient to
reduce the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolver Loans by an amount equal to
such excess; and, if such payment of Base Rate Loans is not sufficient to eliminate the
Out-of-Formula Condition, then Borrowers shall immediately deposit with Lender for
application to any outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the same
become due and payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest Periods or on the
Commitment Termination Date) cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Out-of-Formula
Condition, and Lender may (a) hold such deposit as cash security pending disbursement of
same for application to the outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as
the same become due and payable, or (b) if a Default or Event of Default exists, immediately
apply such proceeds to the payment of the Obligations, including the Revolver Loans
outstanding as LIBOR Loans (in which event Borrowers shall also pay to Lender any amounts
required by Section 3.10 to be paid by reason of the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto).
5.2.2. Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Revolver Loans shall be due and
payable on (i) the first day of each month (for the immediately preceding month), computed through
the last day of the preceding month, with respect to any Revolver Loan (whether a Base Rate Loan or
LIBOR Loan) and (ii) the last day of the applicable Interest Period in the case of a LIBOR Loan.
Accrued interest shall also be paid by Borrowers on the Commitment Termination Date. With respect
to any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 3.1.2 on a day when interest
would not otherwise have been payable with respect to such Base Rate Loan, accrued interest to the
date of such conversion on the amount of such Base Rate Loan so converted shall be paid on the
conversion date.
5.3. Payment of Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the
payment of money, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Lender, shall be
repaid by Borrowers to Lender as provided in the DIP Loan Documents, or, if no date of payment is
otherwise specified in the DIP Loan Documents, on demand.
5.4. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall not be under any obligation to
marshal any assets in favor of Borrowers or any other Obligor or against or in payment of any or
all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrowers make a payment to Lender or Lender receives
payment from the proceeds of any Collateral or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or
the proceeds of such Collateral or setoff (or any part thereof) are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other Person, then to the extent
-48-
of any loss by Lender, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied,
and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been made or received and any such enforcement or
setoff had not occurred. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 5.4
shall survive any termination of the Commitment and Full Payment of the Obligations.
5.5. Reserved.
5.6. Application of Payments and Collateral Proceeds. Each Borrower irrevocably
waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and Collateral proceeds at any
time or times hereafter received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrowers, and each Borrower does
hereby irrevocably agree that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply
any and all such payments and Collateral proceeds received at any time or times hereafter by Lender
or its agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Lender may deem advisable, notwithstanding
any entry by Lender upon any of its books and records; provided, however, that any
payments or proceeds of Collateral received by Lender on any date that an Event of Default does not
exist shall be applied in accordance with any provisions of this Agreement that govern the
application of such payment or proceeds. If, as the result of Lender’s collection of proceeds of
Accounts and other Collateral as authorized by Section 8.2.6 and the application thereof as
provided above in this Section 5.6 a credit balance exists, such credit balance shall not accrue
interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be available to Borrowers at any time or times for so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Lender may apply such credit balance against any of
the Obligations upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and, to the extent so applied,
such credit balance shall be applied in the manner specified in Section 5.
5.7. Loan Accounts; Account Stated.
5.7.1. Loan Accounts. Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual and
customary practices an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of
Borrowers to Lender resulting from each Revolver Loan owing to Lender from time to time, including
the amount of principal and interest payable to Lender from time to time hereunder. Any failure of
Lender to record in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect
the obligation of Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing hereunder to Lender.
5.7.2. Entries Binding. The entries made in a Loan Account shall constitute
rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information contained therein; provided, however, that if a
copy of information contained in a Loan Account is provided to any Person, or any Person inspects
such Loan Account, at any time or from time to time, then the information contained in such Loan
Account, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent
manifest error, unless such Person notifies Lender in writing within thirty (30) days after such
Person’s receipt of such copy or such Person’s inspection of such Loan Account of its intention to
dispute the information contained therein.
5.8. Gross Up for Taxes. If Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold
or deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any
of the other DIP Loan Documents, (a) the sum payable to Lender shall be increased as may be
necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, Lender receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made, (b)
Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions, and (c) Borrowers shall pay the full amount
withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
Applicable Law. If Lender determines that it has received a refund, credit, or other reduction of
taxes in respect of any Taxes paid by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.8, Lender shall, within
thirty (30) days from the date of actual receipt of such
-49-
refund or the filing of the tax return in which such credit or other reduction results in a
lower tax payment, pay over such refund or the amount of such tax reduction to Borrowers (but only
to the extent of Taxes paid by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.8), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses of such Person, and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).
5.9. Reserved.
5.10. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.
5.10.1. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be liable for, on a joint
and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by all other Borrowers and Obligors of,
all of the Revolver Loans and other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower or Obligor actually
may have received the proceeds of any Revolver Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder (or
the direct benefit of any Bank Products) or the amount of such Revolver Loans received or the
manner in which Lender accounts for such Revolver Loans or other extensions of credit or Bank
Products on its books and records, it being acknowledged and agreed that Revolver Loans to any
Borrower and any other extensions of credit hereunder and Bank Products inure to the mutual benefit
of all Borrowers and that Lender is relying on the joint and several liability of Borrowers in
extending the Revolver Loans and other financial accommodations hereunder and in making Bank
Products available to Obligors. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that
upon default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of
any principal of, or interest owed on, any of the Revolver Loans or other Obligations, such
Borrower shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand.
5.10.2. Unconditional Nature of Liability. Each Borrower’s joint and several
liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Revolver Loans and other Obligations
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the
validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory
note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any
attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Obligor or any Collateral, or the absence
of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or
granting of any indulgence by Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing or
securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by
any other Obligor and delivered to Lender, (iv) the failure by Lender to take any steps to perfect
or maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve its
rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the
Obligations or Lender’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) Lender’s
election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section
1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the
liability of any Obligor for the payment of any of the Obligations, (vii) any amendment or
modification of any of the DIP Loan Documents or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default,
(viii) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the
amount of any interest, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in
the same, (ix) any change in the corporate existence or structure of any other Obligor; (x) any law
or regulation of any jurisdiction or any event affecting any term of any Obligation; or (xi) any
other circumstance that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Obligor;
provided, however, nothing contained in the foregoing shall limit any Obligor’s right to institute
an action for any alleged breach by Lender of any obligations hereunder. Under no circumstances
shall Borrowers be construed to have waived defenses based upon Full Payment with respect to any
Obligation, willful misconduct or gross negligence. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may proceed directly and at once, without notice to any
Obligor, against any or all of Obligors to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations,
without first proceeding against any other Obligor or against any Collateral or
-50-
other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower
waives any provision under Applicable Law that might otherwise require Lender to pursue or exhaust
its remedies against any Collateral or Obligor before pursuing another Obligor. Each Borrower
consents and agrees that Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any
Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
5.10.3. No Reduction in Liability for Obligations. No payment or payments made by an
Obligor or received or collected by Lender from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any
action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time
in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or
otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement (except to the extent so
reduced or paid), each of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and
performance of all Revolver Loans and other Obligations until Full Payment of the Obligations.
5.10.4. Contribution. Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to repay the
Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. If, as of any date, the aggregate
amount of payments made by a Borrower on account of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower’s
Collateral that are applied to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Revolver Loan
proceeds actually used by such Borrower in its business (such excess amount being referred to as an
“Accommodation Payment”), then each of the other Borrowers (each such Borrower being
referred to as a “Contributing Borrower”) shall be obligated to make contribution to such
Borrower (the “Paying Borrower”) in an amount equal to (A) the product derived by
multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of each Borrower by the Allocable Percentage of
the Borrower from whom contribution is sought less (B) the amount, if any, of the then
outstanding Accommodation Payment of such Contributing Borrower (such last mentioned amount which
is to be subtracted from the aforesaid product to be increased by any amounts theretofore paid by
such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder, and to be decreased by any amounts
theretofore received by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder);
provided, however, that a Paying Borrower’s recovery of contribution hereunder from
the other Borrowers shall be limited to that amount paid by the Paying Borrower in excess of its
Allocable Percentage of all Accommodation Payments then outstanding of all Borrowers. As used
herein, the term “Allocable Percentage” shall mean, on any date of determination thereof, a
fraction the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of Borrowers who are parties to this
Agreement on such date and the numerator of which shall be 1; provided, however,
that such percentages shall be modified in the event that contribution from a Borrower is not
possible by reason of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise by reducing such Borrower’s Allocable
Percentage equitably and by adjusting the Allocable Percentage of the other Borrowers
proportionately so that the Allocable Percentages of all Borrowers at all times equals 100%.
SECTION 6. TERM AND TERMINATION OF COMMITMENT
6.1. Term of Commitment. Subject to Lender’s right in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement to cease making Revolver Loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers when any
Default or Event of Default exists or upon termination of the Commitment as provided in Section
6.2, the Commitment shall be in effect for the DIP Term, unless sooner terminated as provided in
Section 6.2.
6.2. Termination.
6.2.1. Termination by Lender. Lender may terminate the Commitment without notice at
any time that an Event of Default exists.
-51-
6.2.2. Termination by Borrowers. At any time and from time to time after the date
hereof, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender from Borrower
Agent, Borrowers may terminate in whole the Commitment; provided that no such
termination by Borrowers shall be effective until Full Payment of the Obligations. Any notice of
termination given by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 6.2.2 shall be irrevocable unless Lender
receives notice of the revocation thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed
termination date. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Borrowers shall not have the right to
reduce in part the Commitment.
6.2.3. Effect of Termination. On the effective date of termination of the Commitment by
Lender or by Borrowers, all of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, Lender shall
have no obligation to make any Revolver Loans, Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letters
of Credit, and Lender and its Affiliates may terminate any Bank Products (including any services or
products under Cash Management Agreements). All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and
representations of Borrowers contained in the DIP Loan Documents shall survive any such
termination, and Lender shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies
under the DIP Loan Documents notwithstanding such termination, in each case, until Full Payment of
the Obligations. Notwithstanding the Full Payment of the Obligations, Lender shall not be required
to terminate its Liens in any of the Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage Lender
may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of any Payment Items applied to the Obligations,
Lender shall have received either (i) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person
deemed financially responsible by Lender whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in
whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Lender from any such loss or damage; or
(ii) such monetary reserves and Liens on the Collateral for such period of time as Lender, in its
reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to protect Lender from any such loss or damage. The
provisions of Sections 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 5.4 and 5.8 and this Section 6.2.3 and all obligations
of Borrowers to indemnify Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other DIP Loan Documents,
shall in all events survive any termination of the Commitment and Full Payment of the Obligations.

pursuant to any of the other DIP Loan Documents shall be (i) in addition to and not in lieu of all
Liens conferred upon Lender pursuant to the terms of the DIP Financing Orders, and (ii) first

at any time that an Event of Default exists to collect any and all such balances to the extent any
such payment is not made to Lender by such bank or other depository after demand thereon is made by
Lender pursuant hereto.

Borrowers shall execute or cause to be executed and deliver to Lender such instruments,

shall take such other action as reasonably may be requested by Lender to give effect to or carry
out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, unless an Event of Default exists Borrowers
shall not be required to provide any notice to, or obtain the acknowledgment of, any insurer under
an Asbestos Insurance Policy with respect to Lender’s Lien in the Insurance Receivables Rights.

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION
8.1. General Provisions.
8.1.1. Location of Collateral. All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory
in transit, shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at one or more of the business locations of
Borrowers set forth in Schedule 8.1.1 hereto and shall not be moved therefrom, without the prior
written approval of Lender, except that in the absence of an Event of Default and acceleration of
the maturity of the Obligations in consequence thereof, Borrowers may (i) make sales or other
dispositions of any Collateral to the extent not prohibited by Section 10.2.9 and (ii) move
Inventory or any record relating to any Collateral to a location in the United States other than
those locations of Borrowers shown on Schedule 8.1.1 hereto so long as Borrowers give Lender notice
of such new location in the next Compliance Certificate required to be delivered to Lender pursuant
to Section 10.1.3; provided, that Borrowers shall not be required to provide such notice to Lender
with respect to any new location so long as the Value of Inventory at such location does not at any
time exceed $100,000 and the aggregate Value of Inventory at all such locations does not at any
time exceed $500,000. Following the movement of any Inventory to such new location, Borrowers
shall cooperate with Lender in connection with the filing of any UCC-1 financing statements and the
delivery any other appropriate documentation (excluding Lien Waivers to the extent not required by
the following sentence) necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s first priority
Liens with respect to such Inventory. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Borrowers shall not be permitted to keep, store or otherwise maintain any Inventory at
any location (including any location of Borrowers described in Schedule 8.1.1 hereto), unless (i)
an Obligor is the owner of such location, (ii) an Obligor leases such location and either the
landlord has executed in favor of Lender a Lien Waiver, if Lender requires, or a Rent Reserve has
been established with respect to such location, (iii) the Collateral consists of Inventory placed
with a warehouseman, bailee or processor, and either (A) Lender has received from such
warehouseman, bailee
-55-
or processor an acceptable Lien Waiver and an appropriate UCC-1 financing statement has been
filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority in the jurisdiction where such warehouseman,
bailee or processor is located in order to perfect, or to maintain the uninterrupted perfection of,
Lender’s security interest in such Inventory or (B) if Lender requires, a Rent Reserve has been
established with respect to such location, or (iv) in the case of any location that does not
satisfy the requirements of any of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii), the Value of Inventory at such location does not at any time exceed $100,000 and the
aggregate Value of Inventory at all such locations under this clause (iv) does not at any
time exceed $500,000.
8.1.2. Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.
(i) Each Borrower shall pay for and maintain, with financially sound and reputable
insurers having a rating of at least B+ VII or better by Best’s Ratings, a publication of
A.M. Best Company (or, in the case of aircraft liability insurance, with its current
insurers or with other insurers reasonably acceptable to Lender), insurance upon all
Collateral, wherever located, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, theft, malicious
mischief, and such other risks and in such amounts as are reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Schedule 8.1.2 hereto describes all insurance of Borrowers in effect on the date hereof and
Lender confirms that the level of insurance set forth on Schedule 8.1.2 hereto is reasonably
satisfactory to it based on the circumstances as of the date hereof. All proceeds payable
under each such policy, to the extent relating to tangible Collateral or business
interruption insurance, shall be payable to Lender for application to the Obligations.
Within 30 days after the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deliver insurance certificates (and,
following Lender’s request, certified copies of policies) for such policies relating to
tangible Collateral or business interruption insurance to Lender with lender’s loss payable
endorsements reasonably satisfactory to Lender naming Lender as sole loss payee, assignee or
additional insured, as appropriate. Each policy of insurance or insurance certificate or
endorsement relating to tangible Collateral or business interruption insurance shall contain
a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice
to Lender in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause
specifying that the interest of Lender shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or
neglect of any Borrower or the owner of the Property or by the occupation of the premises
for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. If any Borrower fails to
provide and pay for such insurance, Lender may, at its option, but shall not be required to,
procure the same and charge Borrowers therefor. Each Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender,
upon written request, true copies of all reports made in any reporting forms to property
insurance companies. For so long as no Event of Default exists, each Borrower shall have
the right to settle, adjust and compromise any claim with respect to any insurance
maintained by such Borrower with respect to the Collateral provided that all proceeds
thereof are applied in the manner specified in this Agreement. At any time that an Event of
Default exists, Lender alone shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such
property insurance claims, and Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to
such policies of property insurance as are provided for in this Agreement and the other DIP
Loan Documents.
(ii) Any proceeds of insurance referred to in this Section 8.1.2 (other than proceeds
from any workers’ compensation or D&O insurance or Asbestos Insurance Policies), to the
extent relating to Collateral, and any condemnation awards that are paid to Lender in
connection with a condemnation of any of the Collateral shall be paid to Lender and applied
first to the payment of the Revolver Loans and then to any other Obligations outstanding;
provided, however, that if an Event of Default exists on the date of
Lender’s receipt thereof, Lender shall apply such proceeds to the Obligations in the order
of application provided in Section 5. Proceeds from any policy of business interruption
insurance may be used by Borrowers in the Ordinary Course of Business,
-56-
provided that at the time of such use no Default or Event of Default exists and the
insured loss has not resulted in (and would not reasonably be expected to result in) any
Material Adverse Effect, but otherwise may be applied by Lender to the payment of the
Obligations in such order of application as Lender may elect in its discretion (subject to
the provisions of Section 5).
(iii) Any proceeds of insurance and condemnation proceeds related to Fixed Assets may
be used by Borrowers for such purposes as Borrowers shall determine and are permitted under
this Agreement, and such insurance proceeds may be pledged by Borrowers as part of any Fixed
Asset Lien permitted hereunder.
8.1.3. Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing,
insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes imposed under any Applicable
Law on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof, and all other payments required to
be made by Lender to any Person to realize upon any Collateral shall be borne and paid by
Borrowers. Lender shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the
Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto or for any diminution in the value thereof (except for
reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in Lender’s actual possession), or
for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever,
but the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk.
8.1.4. Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Borrower shall at all times defend such
Borrowers’ title to the Collateral and Lender’s Liens therein against all Persons and all claims
and demands whatsoever other than Permitted Liens.
8.2. Administration of Accounts.
8.2.1. Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and
complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit to
Lender on such periodic basis as Lender shall reasonably request a sales and collections report for
the preceding period, in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Each Borrower shall also provide
to Lender on or before the 20th day of each month, a detailed aged trial balance of all Accounts
existing as of the last day of the preceding month, specifying the names, face value and aging
classification of each Account (“Schedule of Accounts”), and, upon Lender’s request
therefor, each Account Debtor’s address and the invoice and due dates for each Account, copies of
proof of delivery and a copy of all documents, including repayment histories and present status
reports relating to the Accounts so scheduled and such other matters and information relating to
the status of then existing Accounts as Lender shall reasonably request. In addition, if Accounts
in an aggregate face amount in excess of, (a) during the months of June 2010, July 2010 and August
2010, $500,000, and (b) thereafter, $250,000, cease to be Eligible Accounts in whole or in part at
any time while there are any Aggregate Revolver Outstandings hereunder, Borrowers shall notify
Lender of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within 2 Business Days) after any Senior
Financial Officer having obtained knowledge of such occurrence and Availability (including the
Borrowing Base) shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence. Each Borrower shall, upon
Lender’s request, deliver to Lender copies of invoices or invoice registers related to all of its
Accounts.
8.2.2. Discounts, Disputes and Returns. If any Borrower grants any discounts (other
than discounts for prompt payment in the Ordinary Course of Business), allowances or credits that
are not shown on the face of the invoice for the Account involved, such Borrower shall report such
discounts (other than discounts for prompt payment in the Ordinary Course of Business), allowances
or credits, as the case may be, to Lender as part of the next required Schedule of Accounts. If
any amounts due and owing in excess of, (a) during the months of June 2010, July 2010 and August
2010, $500,000, and (b)
-57-
thereafter, $250,000, are in dispute between any Borrower and any Account Debtor, or if any
returns are made in excess of, (a) during the months of June 2010, July 2010 and August 2010,
$500,000, and (b) thereafter, $250,000, with respect to any Accounts owing from an Account Debtor,
in each case at any time while there are any Aggregate Revolver Outstandings hereunder, such
Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice thereof at the time of submission of the next
Schedule of Accounts, explaining in reasonable detail the reason for the dispute or return, all
claims related thereto and the amount in controversy.
8.2.3. Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes payable
to any Governmental Authority, Lender is authorized, in its discretion, to pay the amount thereof
to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor;
provided, however, that Lender shall not be liable for any Taxes that may be due by Borrowers.
8.2.4. Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or an Event of Default exists,
Lender shall have the right at any time, in the name of Lender, any designee of Lender or any
Borrower to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of such
Borrower by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. So long as no Default or Event of Default
exists, verifications of Accounts shall be conducted at the sole cost and expense of Lender.
Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Lender in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any
such verification process.
8.2.5. Maintenance of Dominion Account. Until Full Payment of the Obligations, each
Borrower shall establish and maintain one or more Dominion Account with Lender pursuant to a
lockbox or other arrangement and agreements reasonably acceptable to Lender. All balances in each
Dominion Account shall be subject to Lender’s Lien.
8.2.6. Collection of Accounts and Proceeds of Collateral. To expedite collection of
Accounts, each Borrower shall endeavor to make collection of such Borrower’s Accounts for Lender
and, in connection therewith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep in full force and
effect any Supporting Obligation or collateral security relating to each such Account. Each
Borrower shall (i) request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all
Account Debtors forward payment directly to the applicable Dominion Account (or lockboxes related
to such Dominion Account), and (ii) deposit promptly, and in any event no later than the first
Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all cash, checks, drafts or other similar items of
payment relating to or constituting payments made in respect of any and all Collateral (whether or
not otherwise delivered to a lockbox) into such Dominion Account. All Payment Items received by
any Borrower in respect of its Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall
be held by such Borrower as trustee of an express trust for Lender’s benefit, and each Borrower
shall immediately deposit same in kind in the applicable Dominion Account. All Payment Items
received by any Borrower in respect of its Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other
Collateral, will be made available to Borrowers as and to the extent provided in the DIP Financing
Orders. Lender retains the right at all times that a Default or an Event of Default exists to
notify Account Debtors of any Borrower that Accounts have been assigned to Lender, to collect
Accounts directly in its own name (and, in connection therewith, to charge to Borrowers the
collection costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’
fees). At any time that an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right to settle or
adjust all disputes and claims directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or
extend the time for payment of any Accounts upon such terms and conditions as Lender may deem
advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs and expenses thereof, including reasonable
out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, to Borrowers.
-58-
8.3. Administration of Inventory.
8.3.1. Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and
complete records of its Inventory (including records showing the cost thereof and daily withdrawals
therefrom and additions thereto) and shall furnish Lender inventory reports respecting such
Inventory in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Lender at such times as Lender may request,
but so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, no more frequently than once each month.
Each Borrower shall, at its own expense, conduct a physical inventory no less frequently than
annually (and on a more frequent basis if requested by Lender when an Event of Default exists) and
periodic cycle counts consistent with such Borrower’s historical practices and shall provide to
Lender a report based on each such physical inventory and cycle count promptly after completion
thereof, together with such supporting information as Lender shall reasonably request. Lender may
participate in and observe each physical count or inventory, which participation shall be at
Borrowers’ expense at any time that an Event of Default exists.
8.3.2. Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any of its Inventory to a
supplier or vendor thereof, or any other Person, whether for cash, credit against future purchases
or then existing payables, or otherwise, unless (i) such return is in the Ordinary Course of
Business of such Borrower; (ii) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom;
(iii) the return of such Inventory will not result in an Out-of-Formula Condition; (iv) if there
are any Aggregate Revolver Outstandings hereunder at such time, such Borrower promptly notifies
Lender thereof if the aggregate Value of all Inventory returned in any month exceeds, (a) during
the months of June 2010, July 2010 and August 2010, $500,000, and (b) thereafter, $250,000; and (v)
any payments received by such Borrower in connection with any such return are promptly turned over
to Lender for application to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
8.3.3. Acquisitions and Sale of Inventory. No Borrower shall acquire or accept any
Inventory on consignment or approval unless such Inventory is segregated from such Borrower’s other
owned Inventory and is marked in a manner designating the true owner thereof. Each Borrower will
use its best efforts to insure that all Inventory that is produced in the United States will be
produced in accordance with the FLSA. No Borrower shall sell any Eligible Inventory on a
consignment, sale and return, sale on approval or other similar basis.
8.3.4. Maintenance of Inventory. Borrowers shall produce, use, store and maintain all
Inventory with all reasonable care and caution in accordance, in all material respects, with
applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity, in all material respects, with Applicable
Law and will maintain current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in
leases) at all locations at which any Inventory with a book value in excess of $500,000 is
maintained or stored.
8.4. Administration of Deposit Accounts. Each Borrower represents that, as of the
Closing Date, Schedule 8.4 hereto (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time)
sets forth all of the Deposit Accounts maintained by each Borrower, as applicable, including
Deposit Accounts into which all Payment Items relating to any Collateral will be deposited; each
Borrower is the sole account holder of each such Deposit Account and is not aware of any Person
(other than Lender) having either dominion or control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the
UCC) over any such Deposit Account or any property deposited therein (other than any such control
that has been released or terminated on or before the Closing Date and control arising by operation
of law in favor the depository bank in which such Deposit Account is maintained); and each Borrower
has taken all actions required to establish Lender’s “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104
of the UCC) over all Deposit Accounts (other than (i) Deposit Accounts solely holding cash
collateral permitted as a Lien under Section 10.2.5(ix), (ii) Deposit Accounts exclusively used for
worker’s compensation programs, payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments
to or for the benefit of such Borrower’s employees, and (iii) other
-59-
Deposit Accounts containing no more than $100,000 on any date). Each Borrower shall promptly
notify Lender of any additional Deposit Account opened and any Deposit Account that is closed. In
no event shall Borrower open any new Deposit Accounts other than those disclosed in the Cash
Management Order or related motion without Lender’s prior written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.
8.5. Borrowing Base Certificates. By the fifteenth (15th) day following each fiscal
month end, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared as of the close
of business on the last day of the previous fiscal month, provided that each
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender retains the right to require Borrowers to deliver to
Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate with such frequency as required by Lender in its sole and
absolute discretion. All calculations of Availability in connection with any Borrowing Base
Certificate shall originally be made by Borrowers and certified by a Senior Officer to Lender,
provided that Lender shall have the right to review and adjust, in the exercise of
its Credit Judgment, any such calculation (i) to reflect its reasonable estimate of declines in
value of any of the Collateral described therein and (ii) to the extent that such calculation is
not in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the amount of the Availability
Reserve. In no event shall the Borrowing Base or Availability on any date be deemed to exceed the
amount of the Borrowing Base or Availability, as applicable, shown on the Borrowing Base
Certificate last received by Lender prior to such date, as the calculation in such Borrowing Base
Certificate may be adjusted from time to time by Lender as herein authorized.
SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
9.1. General Representations and Warranties. To induce Lender to enter into this
Agreement and to make available the Commitment, each Borrower warrants and represents to Lender
that:
9.1.1. Organization and Qualification. Each Borrower is an entity duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each
Borrower is duly qualified and is authorized to do business as a foreign corporation in each state
or jurisdiction listed on Schedule 9.1.1 hereto, as applicable, and is in good standing in all
states and jurisdictions in which the failure of such Borrower to be so qualified would reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
9.1.2. Power and Authority. Subject to the entry of the Interim DIP Financing Order,
and thereafter upon the entry of the Final DIP Financing Order, each Borrower is duly authorized
and empowered to enter into, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each of the other DIP
Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and each of the other DIP Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
limited liability company or partnership action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or
approval of any of the holders of the Equity Interests of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
other than those obtained on or prior to the date hereof; (ii) contravene the Organic Documents of
any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) violate, or cause any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries to be in default under, any provision of any Applicable Law, order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award in effect having applicability to any Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries; (iv) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or
credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease or instrument to which any Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or its Properties may be bound or affected; or (v)
result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon or
with respect to any of the Properties now owned or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries.
-60-
9.1.3. Legally Enforceable Agreement. This Agreement is, and each of the other DIP
Loan Documents when delivered under this Agreement will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation
of each Borrower signatory thereto enforceable against each of them in accordance with the
respective terms of such DIP Loan Documents, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of general application
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.
9.1.4. Capital Structure. As of the date hereof, Schedule 9.1.4 hereto states (i) the
correct name of each Borrower, its jurisdiction of incorporation and the percentage of its Equity
Interests having voting powers owned by each Person, (ii) the name of each Borrower’s Subsidiaries
and (iii) the number of authorized and issued Equity Interests (and treasury shares) of each
Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Each Borrower has good title to all of the shares it purports to
own of the Equity Interests of each of its Subsidiaries, free and clear in each case of any Lien
other than Permitted Liens. All such Equity Interests have been duly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable. Since the date of the financial statements of Borrowers referred to in Section
9.1.9 through the date hereof, Borrowers have not made, or obligated themselves to make, any
Distribution, other than Distributions in connection with the operation of the Borrowers’ cash
management system in the Ordinary Course of Business. There are no outstanding options to

as permitted by the terms of this Agreement (or the Pre-Petition Loan Agreement for periods prior
to the date hereof)), in each case free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. Each
Borrower has paid or discharged, and has caused each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all
lawful claims which, if unpaid, would reasonably be expected to become a Lien against any
Properties of such Borrower or any such Subsidiary that is not a Permitted Lien. The Liens granted
to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other
-61-
Security Documents are duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Senior
Liens; provided, that, no representation or warranty is made by any Borrower as to
the perfection of Lender’s Liens in, (i) the Insurance Receivables Rights pursuant to the UCC or
(ii) any Pledged Collateral (as defined in any Pledge Agreement) under foreign law.
9.1.8. Accounts. Lender may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible
Accounts, on all statements and representations made by Borrowers with respect to any Account.
Unless otherwise indicated in writing to Lender or specifically excluded by Borrowers in their
calculation of the Borrowing Base in any Borrowing Base Certificate, Borrowers make each of the
following warranties to the knowledge of the Senior Financial Officers (subject to the limitation
in the last paragraph of this Section 9.1.8) with respect to each Account:
(i) It is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be, and it is not evidenced
by a judgment;
(ii) It arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods or rendition of
services by a Borrower in the Ordinary Course of Business and substantially in accordance
with the terms and conditions of all purchase orders, contracts or other documents relating
thereto and forming a part of the contract between a Borrower and the Account Debtor;
(iii) It is for a sum certain maturing as stated in the invoice covering such sale or
rendition of services, a copy of which has been furnished or is available to Lender on
request;
(iv) Such Account, and Lender’s security interest therein, is not subject to any offset
(except claims for offsets netted out in the computation of Eligible Accounts included in
any Borrowing Base Certificate), Lien (other than Permitted Liens), deduction, defense,
dispute or counterclaim except for conditions in the Ordinary Course of Business or claims
where the amount in controversy is immaterial, and each such Account is absolutely owing to
a Borrower and is not contingent in any respect or for any reason;
(v) The contract under which such Account arose does not condition or restrict a
Borrower’s right to assign to Lender the right to payment thereunder unless such Borrower
has obtained the Account Debtor’s consent to such collateral assignment or complied with any
conditions to such assignment (regardless of whether under the UCC or other Applicable Law
any such restrictions are ineffective to prevent the grant of a Lien upon such Account in
favor of Lender);
(vi) Such Borrower has not made any agreement with any Account Debtor thereunder for
any extension, compromise, settlement or modification of any such Account or any deduction
therefrom, except discounts, allowances, credits or rebates which are granted by a Borrower
for prompt payment or otherwise in the Ordinary Course of Business and, except with respect
to discounts for prompt payment, which are reflected in the calculation of the net amount of
each respective invoice related thereto and are reflected in the Schedules of Accounts
submitted to Lender pursuant to Section 8.2.1 (or accounted for in the computation of
Eligible Accounts included in the Borrowing Base); and
(vii) There are no facts, events or occurrences which are reasonably likely to (A)
impair the validity or enforceability of such Account or to (B) reduce the amount payable
thereunder (other than discounts for prompt payment in the Ordinary Course of Business) from
the face amount of the invoice and statements delivered to Lender with respect thereto.
-62-
For purposes of determining whether an Account is an Eligible Account, the foregoing warranties are
made regardless of the knowledge of any Senior Financial Officer with respect to an event or
condition that would constitute a breach of any of the foregoing warranties. For all other
purposes of this Agreement (including the purpose of determining whether an Event of Default exists
hereunder), the foregoing warranties (a) are only made to the extent of the knowledge of the Senior
Financial Officers and (b) are not made to the extent there are no Aggregate Revolver Outstandings
at any time any such Account is included in the Borrowing Base or the aggregate face amount of the
applicable Accounts in breach of this representation does not exceed (a) during the months of June
2010, July 2010 and August 2010, $500,000, and (b) thereafter, $250,000.

positions of Borrowers and their combined Subsidiaries at such date and the results of Borrowers’
and their combined Subsidiaries’ operations for such period, subject only to changes from audit,
income tax adjustments and year-end adjustments and except that such statements do not contain

exhibit, report, statement or certificate furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower in connection

behalf any Borrower to Lender prior to the Closing Date), in each case, as of the date made and
taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they are made, not misleading as of the time when made or delivered.

9.1.12. Surety Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 9.1.12, on the date

passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default, under any Material
Contract or in the payment of any Debt of a Borrower or a Subsidiary to any Person for Money

for so long as such Event of Default shall exist, Lender may in its discretion (a) declare the
principal of and any accrued interest on the Revolver Loans and all other Obligations owing under

-81-
and demand each Borrower expressly waives), forthwith due and payable and Borrowers shall

Applicable Law, and all other legal and equitable rights to which Lender may be entitled under any
of the DIP Loan Documents, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to any other rights or remedies contained in this Agreement or any of the other DIP Loan
Documents, and none of which shall be exclusive.
12.3.2. The right to collect all amounts at any time payable to an Obligor from any Account
Debtor or other Person at any time indebted to such Obligor.
12.3.3. The right to take immediate possession of any of the Collateral, and to (i) require
Obligors to assemble the Collateral, at Obligors’ expense, and make it available to Lender at a
place designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and (ii) enter any

condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale or
sales, with such notice as may be required by Applicable Law, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on
credit, all as Lender, in its discretion, may deem advisable. Each Borrower agrees that any
requirement of notice to any Borrower of any proposed public or private sale or other disposition
of Collateral by Lender shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof if given at least 10 days prior
thereto, and such sale may be at such locations as Lender may designate in said notice. Lender
shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Borrower’s premises, without charge therefor,
and such sales may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with Applicable Law. Lender shall
have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, for
cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Lender may purchase all or any part of the Collateral
at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase
price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations. The proceeds realized from
the sale or other disposition of any Collateral may be applied, after allowing 2 Business Days for
collection, first to any Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Lender and then to the remainder of
the Obligations as specified in Section 5.
12.3.5. The right to obtain the appointment of a receiver, without notice of any kind
whatsoever, to take possession of the Collateral and to exercise such rights and powers as the
court appointing such receiver shall confer upon such receiver.
12.3.6. The right to require Borrowers to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit,
and, if Borrowers fail promptly to make such deposit, Lender may advance such amount as a Revolver
Loan (whether or not an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or is created thereby or the Commitment
has been terminated). Any such deposit or advance shall be held by Lender in the Cash Collateral
Account to fund future payments on any Letter of Credit. When all Letters of Credit have
-82-
been drawn upon or expired, any amounts remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be
applied against any outstanding Obligations, or, after Full Payment of all Obligations, returned
to Borrowers.
Lender is hereby granted, solely during an Event of Default, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license
or other right to use, license or sub-license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to any Borrower or any other Person) any or all of each Borrower’s Intellectual
Property and all of each Borrower’s computer hardware and software trade secrets, brochures,
customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, and packaging materials, and any
Property of a similar nature, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling and collecting and in

Borrower or any other Person (any such notice being hereby expressly waived), to set off and to
appropriate and apply any and all deposits, general or special (including certificates of deposit
whether matured or unmatured (but not including trust accounts)) and any other Debt at any time
held or owing by Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any
Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of Borrowers arising under the DIP Loan
Documents to Lender or any of its Affiliates, including all Revolver Loans and LC Obligations and
all claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection with this Agreement,
irrespective of whether or not (i) Lender shall have made any demand hereunder, (ii) Lender shall
have declared the principal of and interest on the Revolver Loans and other amounts due hereunder
to be due and payable as permitted by this Agreement and even though such Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured or (iii) the Collateral for the Obligations is adequate.
12.5. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.
12.5.1. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities, and other
undertakings of Obligors contained in this Agreement, the other DIP Loan Documents, or any other
agreement between Lender and any Obligor, heretofore, concurrently, or hereafter entered into,
shall be deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms,
covenants, conditions, or agreements of Obligors herein contained. The rights and remedies of
Lender under this Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights or remedies that Lender would otherwise have.
12.5.2. The failure or delay of Lender to require strict performance by Obligors of any
provision of any of the DIP Loan Documents or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers or
remedies under any of the DIP Loan Documents or with respect to any Collateral shall not operate
as a waiver of such performance, Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such requirements,
Liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all Revolver
Loans and all other Obligations owing or to become owing from Obligors to Lender shall have been
fully satisfied. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations
of Obligors contained in this Agreement or any of the other DIP Loan Documents and no Event of
Default shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such suspension or
waiver is by an instrument in writing specifying such suspension or waiver and is signed by a duly
authorized representative of Lender and directed to Borrower Agent.
12.5.3. If Lender shall accept performance by an Obligor, in whole or in part, of any
obligation that such Obligor is required by any of the DIP Loan Documents to perform only when a
Default or Event of Default exists, or if Lender shall exercise any right or remedy under any of
the DIP Loan Documents that may not be exercised other than when a Default or Event of Default
exists,
-83-
Lender’s acceptance of such performance by an Obligor or Lender’s exercise of any such right
or remedy shall not operate to waive any such Event of Default or to preclude the exercise by
Lender of any other right or remedy, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Lender.
SECTION 13. SUBORDINATION
13.1. Subordination of Co-Borrower Claims. Each Borrower, as a jointly and severally liable
party with each other Borrower for payment of the Obligations, hereby subordinates to the Full
Payment of all of the Obligations, any and all present and future claims for and rights of
reimbursement, subrogation, contribution and indemnity that it may have from or against any other
Borrower.
13.2. Subordination of Other Intercompany Claims. In addition to the subordination
provisions of Section 13.1, each Borrower hereby subordinates to the Full Payment of the
Obligations all other claims that such Borrower may have against any other Borrower, including any
right of payment under any Intercompany Note, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether
heretofore, now or hereafter existing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
13.2, each Borrower may make payments on the Intercompany Notes and such other claims to the extent
that such payments are (i) owing by such Borrower to any other Borrower and paid in the Ordinary
Course of Business and (ii) authorized by an order of the Court; provided, however, that after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the election of Lender all such
payments shall be remitted by such Borrower to Lender for application to the Obligations, including
to Cash Collateralize any Obligations that are contingent in nature, in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS

and in either such Borrower’s or Lender’s name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers:
14.1.1. At such time or times as Lender or said designee, in its discretion, may determine,

proceeds of insurance) which come into the possession of Lender or under Lender’s control.
14.1.2. At any time that an Event of Default exists: (i) demand payment of the Accounts from the
Account Debtors, enforce payment of the Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally
exercise all of such Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Accounts;
(ii) settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or release any of the Accounts or other Collateral or
any legal proceedings brought to collect any of the Accounts or other Collateral; (iii) sell or

Debtor and on notices of Liens, claims of mechanic’s Liens or assignments or releases of mechanic’s

any letter of credit or banker’s acceptance of which such Borrower is a beneficiary; and (xiv) do
all other acts and things necessary, in Lender’s determination, to fulfill such Borrower’s
obligations under any of the DIP Loan Documents.
14.2. General Indemnity. Whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by any of the
DIP Loan Documents are consummated, each Borrower agrees to indemnify and defend the Lender
Indemnitees and hold the Lender Indemnitees harmless from and against any Claims that may be
instituted or asserted against or are incurred by any of the Lender Indemnitees. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any Claims instituted or asserted
against or incurred by any of the Lender Indemnitees (x) under any Environmental Laws (or other
similar laws) by reason of a Borrower’s or any other Person’s failure to comply with laws
applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials or other toxic substances) or (y) under any
Anti-Terrorism Laws, including any fines assessed against Lender by any Governmental Authority as a
result of conduct of a Borrower. Additionally, if any Indemnified Taxes shall be payable by any
party on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery,
issuance or recording of any of the other DIP Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of any
of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, Borrowers
shall pay (and shall promptly reimburse Lender for its payment of) all such Taxes, including any
interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold Lender Indemnitees harmless from and
against all liability in connection therewith.
14.3. Survival of and Limitations Upon Indemnities. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement or any of the other DIP Loan Documents, the obligation of each Borrower
with respect to each indemnity given by it in this Agreement shall survive the Full Payment of the
Obligations and the termination of the Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, no party shall have any obligation under this Agreement to indemnify
an Lender Indemnitee with respect to any Claim to the extent that it is determined in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Claim resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender Indemnitee.
14.4. Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended,
except by an agreement in writing signed by Borrowers (or Borrower Agent on behalf of Borrowers)
and Lender.
14.5. Severability. 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 only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
14.6. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the other DIP Loan Documents
are hereby made cumulative with the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that this Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents may
use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters
and that such limitations, tests and measures are cumulative and each must be performed, except as
may be expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in any of
the other DIP Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement,
if any
-85-
provision contained in this Agreement is in direct conflict with, or inconsistent with, any
provision in any of the other DIP Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall
govern and control.
14.7. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. DIP Loan Documents
may be executed by facsimile and the effectiveness of any such DIP Loan Documents and signatures
thereon shall, subject to Applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed
originals and shall be binding on all parties thereto. Lender may require that any such documents
and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof, provided that the
failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile
signature.
14.8. Consent. Whenever the consent of Lender is required to be obtained under this
Agreement or any of the other DIP Loan Documents as a condition to any action, inaction, condition
or event, Lender shall be authorized to give or withhold its consent in its discretion and to
condition its consent upon the giving of additional collateral security for the Obligations, the
payment of money or any other matter.
14.9. Notices and Communications.
14.9.1. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1.5, all notices, requests and other
communications to or upon a party hereto shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or
similar writing) and shall be given to such party at the address or facsimile number for such
party on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or facsimile number as such party may
hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to Lender and Borrower Agent in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 14.9.
14.9.2. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1.5, each such notice, request or other
communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the
facsimile number specified herein for the noticed party and confirmation of receipt is received,
(ii) if given by mail, 3 Business Days after such communication is deposited in the U.S. Mail,
with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the noticed party at the address specified herein,
or (iii) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing
by the noticed party. In no event shall a voicemail message be effective as a notice,
communication or confirmation under any of the DIP Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no notice to or upon Lender pursuant to Sections 2.3, 3.1.2, 4.1 or 6.2.2 shall be effective until
after actually received by the individual to whose attention at Lender such notice is required to
be sent. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in conformity with the provisions
hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such notice, request or demand is actually
received by the individual to whose attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand
is required to be sent. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have been
received by all Borrowers.
14.9.3. Electronic mail and (with the permission of the noticed party) intranet websites may
be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements, Borrowing Base
Certificates and other information required by Section 10.1.3, and to distribute DIP Loan
Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose as
effective notice under this Agreement or any of the other DIP Loan Documents.
Lender shall be authorized to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic communications)
purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if such notices were made in a manner other
than
-86-
as specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice
specified or required herein, or the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any
confirmation thereof. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify and defend each Lender
Indemnitee from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by any such
Lender Indemnitee on each telephone communication purportedly given by or on behalf of any
Borrower.
14.10. Performance of Obligors’ Obligations. If any Obligor shall fail to discharge any
covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other DIP Loan Documents, Lender may, in
its discretion at any time or from time to time, for such Obligor’s account and at Obligors’
expense, pay any amount or do any act required of Obligors hereunder or under any of the other DIP
Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Lender to (i) enforce any of the DIP Loan
Documents or collect any of the Obligations, (ii) preserve, protect, insure or maintain or realize
upon any of the Collateral, or (iii) preserve, defend, protect or maintain the validity or priority
of Lender’s Liens in any of the Collateral, including the payment of any judgment against any
Obligor, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any
landlord claim, any other Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral (whether or not a
Permitted Lien). All payments that Lender may make under this Section and all out-of-pocket costs
and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) that Lender pays or incurs in connection with any
action taken by it hereunder shall be reimbursed to Lender by Borrowers, on demand, with interest
from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment
thereof at the Default Rate applicable for Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Any payment
made or other action taken by Lender under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to
assert, and without waiver of, an Event of Default hereunder and to without prejudice to Lender’s
right proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other DIP Loan Documents.
14.11. Credit Inquiries. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and permits Lender (but Lender
shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties
concerning such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
14.12. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other DIP Loan
Documents.
14.13. Indulgences Not Waivers. Lender’s failure at any time or times hereafter, to require
strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or
diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.
14.14. Entire Agreement; Exhibits and Schedules. This Agreement and the other DIP Loan
Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements and certificates executed by the parties
pursuant to any DIP Loan Document, embody the entire understanding and agreement between the
parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all
prior agreements, understandings and inducements, whether express or implied, oral or written,

Agreement or any of the other DIP Loan Documents and each Borrower irrevocably agrees that all
claims and demands in respect of any
-88-
such action, suit or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and irrevocably

Enforcement Action, or related to any of the DIP Loan Documents, any transaction thereunder or the
use of the proceeds of any Revolver Loans.

represents that it has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and
