(B) Revolving Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrowers
herein set forth, Lender agrees to lend to Borrowers from time to time an
aggregate amount not to exceed at any time $7,000,000. Amounts borrowed under
this subsection 2.1(B) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the
earlier of (i) the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to
subsection 8.3 or (ii) the Termination Date. Lender shall have no obligation to
make advances under this subsection 2.1(B) to a Borrower to the extent the
requested advance would cause the balance of the Revolving Loan of such Borrower
then outstanding (after giving effect to any immediate application of the
proceeds thereof) to exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount of such Borrower
or to the extent any requested advance would cause the balance of the Revolving
Loan of all Borrowers then
14
outstanding (after giving effect to any immediate application of the proceeds
thereof) to exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that Lender may,
in its sole discretion, elect from time to time to make Loans in excess of the
Maximum Revolving Loan Amount of a Borrower or the Revolving Loan Commitment.
Borrowers shall maintain records of the Revolving Loan advanced to or for the
benefit of each Borrower and the amount of all repayments made by each Borrower
of such advances from proceeds of Accounts or otherwise. To the extent that the
outstanding balance of the Revolving Loan owing by a Borrower exceeds such
Borrower's Borrowing Base at any time, such excess shall be deemed to
constitute an intercompany loan to such Borrower from another Borrower whose
outstanding balance of the Revolving Loan is less than its Borrower's
Borrowing Base, which intercompany loans shall be subordinate in right of
payment to the Obligations and shall be subject to the limitations of
subsection 7.1(b).
(1) "Maximum Revolving Loan Amount" means, with respect to
each Borrower, as of any date of determination, the lesser of (a) the Revolving
Loan Commitment and (b) the Borrowing Base of such Borrower.
(2) "Borrowing Base" means, with respect to a Borrower, as of
any date of determination, an amount equal to the sum of (a) eighty-five percent
(85%) of such Borrower's Eligible Accounts plus (b) the lesser of (i) such
Borrower's Inventory Sublimit, and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of such Borrower's
Eligible Inventory, less in each case such reserves as Lender in its reasonable
discretion elects to establish.
(3) "Inventory Sublimit" means, with respect to Editek, the
amount of $800,000, with respect to PDLA, the amount of $500,000 and with
respect to diAGnostix, the amount of $200,000.
(C) Eligible Collateral.
"Eligible Accounts" means, with respect to a Borrower, as at any date
of determination, the aggregate of all Accounts of such Borrower that Lender, in
its reasonable judgment, deems to be eligible for borrowing purposes. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed by Lender, the
following Accounts are not Eligible Accounts:
(1) Accounts which, at the date of issuance of the respective
invoice therefor, were payable more than sixty (60) days after the date of
issuance of such invoice;
(2) Accounts which remain unpaid for more than sixty (60) days
after the due date specified in the original invoice or for more than ninety
(90) days after invoice date if no due date was specified;
(3) Accounts which are otherwise eligible with respect to
which the account debtor is owed a credit by a Borrower, but only to the extent
of such credit;
15
(4) Accounts due from a customer whose principal place of
business is located outside the United States of America unless such Account is
backed by a letter of credit, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, and
issued or confirmed by a bank that is organized under the laws of the United
States of America or a State thereof, that is acceptable to Lender, provided
that such letter of credit has been delivered to Lender as additional
collateral, or the applicable Borrower is the beneficiary of credit insurance
with respect to such account in such amounts and against such risks as shall be
acceptable to Lender;
(5) Accounts due from a customer which Lender has notified
Borrowers does not have a satisfactory credit standing;
(6) Accounts with respect to which the customer is the United
States of America, any state or any municipality, or any department, agency or
instrumentality thereof, unless the applicable Borrower has, with respect to
such Accounts, complied with the Federal Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C.
Section 3727) or any applicable statute or municipal ordinance of similar
purpose and effect;
(7) Accounts with respect to which the customer is an
Affiliate of a Borrower or a director, officer, agent, stockholder or employee
of a Borrower or any of its Affiliates;
(8) Accounts due from a customer if more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the aggregate amount of Accounts of such customer have at the
time remained unpaid for more than sixty (60) days after due date or ninety (90)
days after the invoice date if no due date was specified;
(9) Accounts with respect to which there is any unresolved
dispute with the respective customer (but only to the extent of such dispute);
(10) Accounts evidenced by an "instrument" or "chattel paper"
(as defined in the UCC) not in the possession of Lender;
(11) Accounts with respect to which Lender does not have a
valid, first priority and fully perfected security interest;
(12) Accounts subject to any Lien except those in favor of
Lender;
(13) Accounts with respect to which the customer is the
subject of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding;
16
(14) Accounts due from a customer to the extent that all
Accounts of such customer owing to all Borrowers exceed in the aggregate an
amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate of all otherwise Eligible
Accounts of all Borrowers at said date;
(15) Accounts with respect to which the customer's obligation
to pay is conditional or subject to a repurchase obligation or right to return
or with respect to which the goods or services giving rise to such Account have
not been delivered (or performed, as applicable) and accepted by such account
debtor, including progress xxxxxxxx, xxxx and hold sales, guarantied sales, sale
or return transactions, sales on approval or consignment sales;
(16) Accounts with respect to which the customer is located in
Indiana, New Jersey, Minnesota, or any other state denying creditors access to
its courts in the absence of a Notice of Business Activities Report or other
similar filing, unless the applicable Borrower has either qualified as a foreign
corporation authorized to transact business in such state or has filed a Notice
of Business Activities Report or similar filing with the applicable state agency
for the then current year;
(17) Accounts with respect to which the customer is a creditor
of a Borrower, provided, however, that any such Account shall only be ineligible
as to that portion of such Account which is less than or equal to the amount
owed by such Borrower to such Person.
"Eligible Inventory" means, with respect to a Borrower, as at any date
of determination, the value (determined at the lower of cost or market on a
first-in, first-out basis) of all Inventory that is readily marketable raw
materials, supplies in unopened containers or finished goods consisting of
pre-packaged test kits, in each case owned by and in the possession of such
Borrower and located in the United States of America and that Lender, in its
reasonable credit judgment, deems to be eligible for borrowing purposes. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed by Lender, the
following is not Eligible Inventory: (a) work-in-process; (b) sample collection
kits; (c) finished goods which do not meet the specifications of the purchase
order for such goods; (d) Inventory which Lender determines, is unacceptable for
borrowing purposes due to age, quality, type, category and/or quantity; (e)
Inventory with respect to which Lender does not have a valid, first priority and
fully perfected security interest; (f) Inventory with respect to which there
exists any Lien in favor of any Person other than Lender; (g) Inventory produced
in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and subject to the so-called "hot
goods" provisions contained in Title 29 U.S.C. 215 (a)(i); and (h) Inventory
located at any location other than those set forth on Schedule 4.7.
17
(D) Borrowing Mechanics. On any day when a Borrower desires to borrow
under this subsection 2.1, Editek, acting as agent for such Borrower, shall give
Lender telephonic notice of the proposed borrowing by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time).
Lender shall not incur any liability to Borrowers for acting upon any telephonic
notice Lender believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized
officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of a Borrower or for
otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.1(D). Lender will not
make any advance pursuant to any telephonic notice unless Lender has also
received the most recent Borrowing Base Certificates and all other documents
required under subsection 5.1(F). Each advance made to a Borrower under the
Revolving Loan shall be deposited by wire transfer in immediately available
funds in such account of Editek, as agent for each Borrower, as Editek may from
time to time designate to Lender in writing, and Editek shall forward the
appropriate amount of proceeds of each such advance to or for the benefit of the
appropriate Borrower. Unless payment is otherwise timely made by a Borrower, the
becoming due of any amount required to be paid under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents as principal, accrued interest and fees shall be deemed
irrevocably to be a request by such Borrower for a Revolving Loan on the due
date of, and in the amount required to pay, such principal, accrued interest and
fees, and the proceeds of each such Revolving Loan if made by Lender shall be
disbursed by Lender by way of direct payment of the relevant obligation.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender may elect at any time to
disburse directly to each Borrower advances of the Revolving Loan that are based
upon the Borrowing Base of such Borrower.
(E) Term Notes. Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender a Term
Note to evidence each of the Term Loans, such Term Notes to be in the principal
amount of the respective Term Loan Commitment and with other appropriate
insertions. In the event of an assignment under subsection 9.1, Borrowers shall,
upon surrender of the assigning Lender's Notes, issue new Notes to reflect the
new Commitments of the assigning Lender and its assignee.
(F) Evidence of Revolving Loan Obligations. The advances constituting
the Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by this Agreement and notations made from
time to time by Lender in its books and records, including computer records.
Lender's books and records shall constitute presumptive evidence, absent
manifest error, of the accuracy of the information contained therein. Failure by
the Lender to make any such notation or record shall not affect the obligations
of Borrowers to Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans.
2.2 Interest Interest
(A) Rate of Interest. The Loans and all other Obligations shall bear
interest from the date such Loans are made or such other Obligations become due
to the date paid at a rate per annum equal to (i) one and one-half percent
(1.50%) plus the Base Rate with respect to the Revolving Loan, (ii) two percent
(2.00%) plus the Base Rate with respect to Term Loan A and (iii) two and
one-half percent (2.50%) plus the Base Rate with respect to Term Loan B (the
"Interest
18
Rate"). After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Loans and all other Obligations shall, at Lender's option, bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3.0%) plus the Interest Rate
(the "Default Rate").
(B) Computation and Payment of Interest. Interest on the Loans and all
other Obligations shall be computed on the daily principal balance on the basis
of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during
which it accrues and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of
each month. Any publicly announced change in the Base Rate shall result in an
adjustment to the Interest Rate on the day such change takes effect. Whenever
interest payable hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days,
each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation expressed as an
annual rate for the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada) is equivalent to such
rate as so determined multiplied by the number of days in the calendar year in
which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360.
(C) Interest Laws. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrowers shall not be
required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of
interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law ("Excess
Interest"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection
shall govern and control; (2) neither Borrowers nor any Loan Party shall be
obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may
have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (a) applied as a credit
against the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations or accrued and
unpaid interest (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b)
refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the
interest rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the
maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the "Maximum
Rate"), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have
been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5)
neither Borrowers nor any Loan Party shall have any action against Lender for
any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any
Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate
under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the
Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations shall remain at
the Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received the amount of interest which
Lender would have received during such period on such Obligations had the rate
of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.
2.3 Fees.
(A) Closing Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date a
closing fee in the amount of $165,000.
19
(B) Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Lender a fee in an amount
equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment less the sum of the average daily balance
of the Revolving Loan during the preceding month multiplied by three-eighths
percent (0.375) per annum, such fee to be calculated on the basis of a 360
day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable monthly in
arrears on the first day of the first month following the Closing Date and the
first day of each month thereafter.
(C) Prepayment Fees. If Borrowers voluntarily prepay the Obligations in
full (other than voluntary prepayments of the Revolving Loan which do not
terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment, including payments of the Revolving
Loan from the Blocked Accounts), or, in the case of any voluntary prepayment of
any Term Loan, in part, prior to the Termination Date, Borrowers at the time of
prepayment shall pay to Lender, as compensation for the costs of being prepared
to make funds available to Borrowers under this Agreement, and not as a penalty,
an amount determined by multiplying the percentage set forth below by (1) in the
case of a prepayment in full of the Obligations, the sum of the outstanding
principal balance of the Term Loans at the date of such prepayment plus the
amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment, or (2) in the case of a prepayment of
the Term Loans only, in whole or in part, the amount of such prepayment: three
percent (3.00%) upon a prepayment during the first Loan Year; two percent
(2.00%) upon a prepayment during the second Loan Year; and one percent (1.00%)
upon a prepayment during the third Loan Year. Borrower shall not be required to
pay prepayment fees in connection with any mandatory prepayments of the
Obligations pursuant to subsection 2.4(B) or the last sentence of subsection
2.1(A)(1).
(D) Collateral Monitoring Fee. On the Closing Date and on the first day
of each calendar quarter thereafter, Borrowers shall pay Lender a nonrefundable
collateral monitoring fee of $5,000; provided, however, that if as a result of a
Borrower's merging with another Borrower, the number of Borrowers decreases to
two or fewer, then such collateral monitoring fee shall reduce to $2,500 per
quarter commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter following such
merger.
(E) Audit Fees. Borrowers agree to pay Lender an audit fee for each
inspection equal to $650 per auditor per day or any portion thereof, excluding
all full days spent by Lender traveling to or from Borrowers' locations,
together with out-of-pocket expenses, or the reasonable fees, expenses and
out-of-pocket costs paid to third party auditors. Audit fees shall not exceed
$20,000 per year, plus out-of-pocket expenses, except during the existence of an
Event of Default.
(F) Other Fees and Expenses. Borrowers shall pay to Lender, for its own
account, all charges for returned items and all other bank charges incurred by
Lender, as well as Lender's standard wire transfer charges for each wire
transfer made under this Agreement.
20
2.4 Payments and Prepayments.
(A) Manner and Time of Payment. In its sole discretion, Lender may
charge interest and other amounts payable hereunder to the Revolving Loan, all
as set forth on Lender's books and records. If Lender elects to xxxx Borrowers
for any amount due hereunder, such amount shall be immediately due and payable
with interest thereon as provided herein. All payments made by Borrowers with
respect to the Obligations shall be made without deduction, defense, setoff or
counterclaim. All payments to Lender hereunder shall, unless otherwise directed
by Lender, be made in accordance with subsection 5.6. Proceeds remitted to
Lender's Account shall be credited to the Obligations on the day such proceeds
were received, provided, however, for the purpose of calculating interest on the
Obligations, such funds shall be deemed received on the first Business Day
thereafter. Proceeds remitted to Lender's Account by wire transfer shall be
credited to the Obligations on the Business Day received; provided, however, for
the purpose of calculating interest on the Obligations such funds shall be
deemed received the first Business Day thereafter.
(B) Mandatory Prepayments.
(1) Overadvance. At any time that the principal balance of the
Revolving Loan exceeds the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount, Borrowers shall, upon
demand by Lender, immediately repay the Revolving Loan to the extent necessary
to reduce the principal balance to an amount that is equal to or less than the
Maximum Revolving Loan Amount.
(2) Proceeds of Asset Dispositions. For so long as any portion
of either Term Loan remains outstanding, immediately upon receipt by a Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries of proceeds of any Asset Disposition (in one or a
series of related transactions), which proceeds exceed $10,000 (it being
understood that if the proceeds exceed $10,000, the entire amount and not just
the portion above $10,000 shall be subject to this subsection 2.4(B)(2)),
Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to such proceeds. If
Borrowers reasonably expect the proceeds of any Asset Disposition to be
reinvested within 180 days to repair or replace such assets with like assets,
Borrowers shall deliver the proceeds to Lender to be applied to the Revolving
Loan, and Borrowers may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, reborrow such proceeds only for such repair or
replacement. If Borrowers fail to reinvest such proceeds within 180 days,
Borrowers hereby authorize Lender to make a Revolving Loan to repay the Term
Loans as required hereby. All such prepayments shall be applied first in payment
of Scheduled Installments of Term Loan B in the inverse order of maturity and
second in payment of Scheduled Installments of Term Loan A in the inverse order
of maturity.
21
(3) Prepayments from Excess Cash Flow. For so long as any
portion of either Term Loan remains outstanding, within ninety (90) days after
the end of each Fiscal Year, Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount
equal to fifty percent (50%) of Excess Cash Flow for such prior Fiscal Year
calculated on the basis of the audited financial statements for such Fiscal Year
delivered to Lender pursuant to subsection 5.1(C). All such prepayments from
Excess Cash Flow shall first be applied in payment of Scheduled Installments of
Term Loan B until repaid in full and then in repayment of Term Loan A each in
inverse order of maturity. Concurrently with the making of any such payment,
Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a certificate of Borrowers' chief executive
officer or chief financial officer demonstrating its calculation of the amount
required to be paid.
(C) Voluntary Prepayments and Repayments. Except as provided in
subsection 2.4(B) and except for partial prepayments from the proceeds of equity
securities issued by Borrowers on or after the Closing Date, Borrowers'
Obligations may only be prepaid in full and not in part. Borrowers may, at any
time upon not less than three Business Days' prior notice to Lender, prepay the
Term Loans or terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, however, the
Revolving Loan Commitment may not be terminated by Borrowers until the Term
Loans are paid in full.
(D) Payments on Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made
hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of
time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest or fees due
hereunder.
2.5 Term of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective
until December 31, 1998 (the "Termination Date"). The Commitments shall (unless
earlier terminated) terminate upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an event
specified in subsection 8.3 or (ii) the Termination Date. Upon termination in
accordance with subsection 8.3 or on the Termination Date, all Obligations shall
become immediately due and payable without notice or demand. Notwithstanding any
termination, until all Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied, Lender
shall be entitled to retain security interests in and liens upon all Collateral,
and even after payment of all Obligations hereunder, Borrowers' obligation to
indemnify Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall continue.
2.6 Statements. Lender shall render a monthly statement of account
to Borrowers within twenty (20) days after the end of each month. Such statement
of account shall constitute an account stated unless Borrowers make written
objection thereto within thirty (30) days from the date such statement is mailed
to Borrowers. Borrowers promise to pay all of the Obligations as such amounts
become due or are declared due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
22
2.7 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the payment and
performance of the Obligations, including all renewals, extensions,
restructurings and refinancings of any or all of the Obligations, each Borrower
hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest, lien and mortgage in and
to all right, title and interest of such Borrower in the following property of
such Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising
and regardless of where located (all being collectively referred to as the
"Collateral"): (A) Accounts, and all guaranties and security therefor, and all
goods and rights represented thereby or arising therefrom including the right of
stoppage in transit, replevin and reclamation; (B) Inventory; (C) general
intangibles (as defined in the UCC); (D) documents (as defined in the UCC) or
other receipts covering, evidencing or representing goods; (E) instruments (as
defined in the UCC); (F) chattel paper (as defined in the UCC); (G) Equipment;
(H) Intellectual Property; (I) all deposit accounts of such Borrower maintained
with any bank or financial institution; (J) all cash and other monies and
property of such Borrower in the possession or under the control of Lender or
any participant; (K) all books, records, ledger cards, files, correspondence,
computer programs, tapes, disks and related data processing software that at any
time evidence or contain information relating to any of the property described
above or are otherwise necessary or helpful in the collection thereof or
realization thereon; and (L) proceeds of all or any of the property described
above, including, without limitation, the proceeds of any insurance policies
covering any of the above described property.
2.8 Capital Adequacy and Other Adjustments. In the event Lender
shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law,
treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or
order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements
or compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender with any request
or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar
requirements (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure
to comply therewith would be unlawful) from any central bank or governmental
agency or body having jurisdiction does or shall have the effect of increasing
the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by
Lender or any corporation controlling Lender and thereby reducing the rate of
return on Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder, then Borrowers shall from time to time within fifteen
(15) days after notice and demand from Lender (together with the certificate
referred to in the next sentence) pay to Lender additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the amount of
such cost and showing the basis of the computation of such cost submitted by
Lender to Borrowers shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding for all purposes.
2.9 Taxes.
(A) No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made
hereunder or under the Term Notes shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto; excluding, however, the
following: taxes imposed on the net income of Lender by the jurisdiction under
the laws of which Lender is organized or doing business or any political
subdivision thereof
23
and taxes imposed on its net income by the jurisdiction of Lender's applicable
lending office or any political subdivision thereof (all such taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with
respect thereto excluding such taxes imposed on net income, herein "Tax
Liabilities"). If Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any such Tax
Liabilities from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the
sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after
making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made.
(B) Changes in Tax Laws. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing
Date, (i) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in
the interpretation or application thereof, (ii) any new law, regulation, treaty
or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (iii)
compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any governmental authority, agency or instrumentality:
(1) does or shall subject Lender to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Loans
made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of
principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for net
income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed
generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest
or commitment or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax on
the overall net income of Lender); or
(2) does or shall impose on Lender any other condition or
increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or
participations herein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to Lender of making or continuing any Loan hereunder, as the case may be,
or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrowers
shall promptly pay to Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary
to compensate Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced
amount receivable, as determined by Lender with respect to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify Borrowers of the event by
reason of which Lender has become so entitled. A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by
Lender to Borrowers shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding for all purposes.
3 CONDITIONS TO LOANS

Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act of 1970), which action, suit or
proceeding (1) is not dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days;
and (2) could result in the confiscation or forfeiture of any
material portion of the Collateral; or
8.2 Suspension of Commitments. Upon the occurrence of any Default
or Event of Default, notwithstanding any grace period or right to cure, Lender,
without notice or demand, may immediately cease making additional Loans and the
Commitments shall be suspended; provided that, in the case of a Default, if the
subject condition or event is waived or cured within any applicable grace or
cure period, the Commitments shall be reinstated.
8.3 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in the foregoing subsections 8.1(G) or 8.1(H), all Obligations shall
automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by Borrowers, and the Commitments shall thereupon terminate. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, Lender may,
by written notice to Borrowers, declare all or any portion of the Obligations to
be, and the same shall forthwith become, immediately due and payable and the
Commitments shall thereupon terminate.
8.4 Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, in addition to and not in limitation of any rights or remedies
available to Lender at law or in equity, Lender may exercise in respect of the
Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on
default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral) and may also (a) notify any or all obligors on the Accounts to make
all payments directly to Lender; (b) require Borrowers to, and Borrowers hereby
agree that they will, at their expense and upon request of Lender forthwith,
assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it
available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender which is reasonably
convenient to both parties; (c) withdraw all cash in the Blocked Accounts and
apply such monies in payment of the Obligations in
48
the manner provided in subsection 8.7; (d) without notice or demand or legal
process, enter upon any premises of a Borrower and take possession of the
Collateral; and (e) without notice except as specified below, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any of the Lender's offices or elsewhere, at such time or times, for cash,
on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such
other terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Borrowers agree that,
to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days
notice to Borrowers of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.
At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by law, Lender may bid (which bid
may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) for
the purchase of the Collateral or any portion thereof for the account of Lender.
Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of
notice of sale having been given. Borrowers shall remain liable for any
deficiency. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To
the extent permitted by law, Borrowers hereby specifically waive all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now
existing or hereafter enacted. Lender shall not be required to proceed
against any Collateral but may proceed against Borrowers directly.
8.5 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. Each Borrower hereby
constitutes and appoints Lender as such Borrower's attorney-in-fact with full
authority in the place and stead of such Borrower and in the name of such
Borrower, Lender or otherwise, from time to time in Lender's discretion while an
Event of Default is continuing to take any action and to execute any instrument
that Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including: (a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound,
receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under
or in respect of any of the Collateral; (b) to adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment of any Account, or release wholly or partly any customer or
obligor thereunder or allow any credit or discount thereon; (c) to receive,
endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel
paper, in connection with clause (a) above; (d) to file any claims or take any
action or institute any proceedings that Lender may deem necessary or desirable
for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights
of Lender with respect to any of the Collateral; and (e) to sign and endorse any
invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse
receipts, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and
other documents relating to the Collateral. The appointment of Lender as each
Borrower's attorney and Lender's rights and powers are coupled with an interest
and are irrevocable until payment in full and complete performance of all of the
Obligations.
49
8.6 Limitation on Duty of Lender with Respect to Collateral.
Beyond the safe custody thereof, Lender shall have no duty with respect to any
Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of any
agent or bailee) or with respect to any income thereon or the preservation of
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Lender
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property.
Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the
Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or
omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other
agent or bailee selected by Lender in good faith.
8.7 Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, (a) Borrowers irrevocably waive the right to
direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter
received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrowers, and Borrowers hereby
irrevocably agree that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply
and to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default against the
Obligations in such manner as Lender may deem advisable notwithstanding any
previous entry by Lender upon any books and records and (b) the proceeds of any
sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be
applied: first, to all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender with respect
to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; second, to all
fees due and owing to Lender; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the
Obligations; fourth, to the principal amounts of the Obligations outstanding;
and fifth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of any Borrower owing to
Lender. Lender shall account to Borrowers for any surplus and Borrowers shall be
liable for any deficiency.
8.8 License of Intellectual Property. Each Borrower hereby
assigns, transfers and conveys to Lender, effective during the existence of any
Event of Default hereunder, the non-exclusive right and license to use all
Intellectual Property owned or used by such Borrower together with any goodwill
associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable Lender to realize on
the Collateral and any successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the
Collateral. This right and license shall inure to the benefit of all successors,
assigns and transferees of Lender and its successors, assigns and transferees,
whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer,
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license is
granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever
be made to Borrowers by Lender.
8.9 Canadian Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or
remedies provided for herein or any rights or remedies available to Lender or
otherwise available to it at law or in equity, Lender shall have the following
rights, powers and remedies, subject to compliance with the PPSA, in respect of
any of the Collateral to which the PPSA is applicable:
50
(A) to appoint any Person to be an agent or any
Person to be a receiver, manager or receiver and manager (herein called
the "Receiver") of such Collateral and to remove any Receiver so
appointed and to appoint another if the Lender so desires, it being
agreed that any Receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement will have all of the powers of the Lender hereunder, and in
addition, will have the power to carry on the business of any Borrower;
(B) to make payments to parties having prior charges or
encumbrances on properties on which any Borrower may hold charges or
encumbrances;
(C) to take possession of all or any part of such
Collateral with power to exclude the Borrowers, their agents and
servants therefrom;
(D) to preserve, protect and maintain such Collateral
and make such replacements thereof and additions thereto as the Lender
may deem advisable;
(E) to enjoy and exercise all powers necessary or
incidental to the performance of all functions provided for in this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the power to purchase on
credit, the power to borrow in any Borrower's name or in the name of
the Receiver, the power to borrow on all or any part of such Collateral
in priority to this Agreement or otherwise for such purposes as may be
approved by the Lender to be evidenced by a Receiver's certificate, and
to advance its own money to the Borrowers at such rates of interest as
it may deem reasonable, provided that the Receiver may borrow money
only with the prior consent of the Lender;
(F) to sell, lease or dispose of all or any part of
such Collateral whether by public or private sale or lease or otherwise
in such manner and on such terms as to the Lender may seem commercially
reasonable, including, without limitation, terms that provide time for
payment or credit, provided that:
(1) the Lender or the Receiver will not be
required to sell, lease or dispose of such Collateral, but may
peaceably and quietly take, hold, use, occupy, possess and
enjoy such Collateral, without molestation, eviction,
hindrance or interruption by any Borrower or any other person
or persons whomsoever;
(2) the Lender or the Receiver may
convey, transfer and assign to a purchaser or purchasers
the title to any of such Collateral so sold; and
(3) the Borrowers will be entitled to be
credited with the actual proceeds of any such sale, lease or
other disposition only when such proceeds are received by the
Lender or the Receiver in cash;
51
(G) to seize, collect, demand, enforce, recover and
receive all or any part of the Accounts, and to notify account debtors
of the Borrowers to pay such Accounts to the Lender or the Receiver,
and to give valid and binding receipts and discharges therefor and in
respect thereof, and to compromise all or any part of the Accounts that
may seem bad or doubtful to the Lender or the Receiver, and to give
time for payment thereof, with or without security;
(H) to enjoy and exercise all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the PPSA;
(I) to dispose of all or any part of such Collateral
in the condition in which it was on the date possession of it was
taken, or after any commercially reasonable repair, processing or
preparation for disposition;
(J) if such Collateral is perishable, or the Lender
or the Receiver believes on reasonable grounds that any part of such
Collateral will decline speedily in value, such Collateral is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, the cost of care and storage
of such Collateral is disproportionately large relative to its value,
or the Receiver disposes of such Collateral in the course of the
Borrowers' business, then the Lender or Receiver may sell or otherwise
dispose of any part of such Collateral without giving any notice
whatsoever;
(K) to commence, continue or defend proceedings in
any court of competent jurisdiction in the name of the Lender, the
Receiver or any Borrower for the purpose of exercising any of the
rights, powers and remedies set out in this subsection 8.09, including
the institution of proceedings for the appointment of a receiver,
manager or receiver and manager of such Collateral; and
(L) at the sole option of the Lender, elect to retain
all or any part of such Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations.
8.10 Waivers, Non-Exclusive Remedies. No failure on the part of
Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with
respect to, any right under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender
of any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive
of any other remedies provided by law.
8.11 Judgment.
52
(A) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any instrument
delivered hereunder in any currency (the "Original Currency") into another
currency (the "Other Currency"), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at
which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Lender could
purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business
Day preceding that on which the payment is made.
(B) The obligation of any Borrower with respect to any
sum due from it to the Lender hereunder or under such instrument shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to
the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, the Lender may, in accordance with
normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with the Other
Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the
sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, such Borrower
agrees to indemnify the Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the
Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lender
in the Original Currency, the Lender agrees to remit to the Borrowers
such excess. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and
independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give
rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of
any indulgence granted by the Lender from time to time and shall continue in
full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated
sum in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.
9 MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Assignments and Participations. Lender may assign its rights
and delegate its obligations under this Agreement and further may assign, or
sell participations in, all or any part of the Loans, the Commitments or any
other interest herein to an Affiliate or to another Person. In the case of an
assignment authorized under this subsection 9.1, the assignee shall have, to the
extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would
if it were a Lender hereunder. Lender shall be relieved of its obligations
hereunder with respect to the Commitments or assigned portion thereof. Borrowers
hereby acknowledge and agree that any assignment will give rise to a direct
obligation of Borrowers to the assignee and that the assignee shall be
considered to be a "Lender". Lender may furnish any information concerning
Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries in its possession from time to time
to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and
participants).
9.2 Set Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender, each assignee of Lender's interest,
and each participant is hereby authorized by Borrowers at any time or from time
to time, without notice to Borrowers or to any other Person, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any
and all balances held
53
by it at any of its offices for the account of a Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to a Borrower
or its Subsidiaries) and any other property at any time held or owing by that
Lender or assignee to or for the credit or for the account of a Borrower
against and on account of any of the Obligations then outstanding; provided,
that no participant shall exercise such right without the prior written consent
of Lender.
Borrowers hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that
any Lender, assignee or participant may exercise its right of setoff with
respect to amounts in excess of its pro rata share of the Obligations (or, in
the case of a participant, in excess of its pro rata participation interest in
the Obligations) and that such Lender, assignee or participant, as the case may
be, shall be deemed to have purchased for cash in the amount of such excess,
participations in each other Lender's or holder's share of the Obligations.
9.3 Expenses and Attorneys' Fees. Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrowers agree to promptly pay all
reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any
matters contemplated by or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents including the following, and all such reasonable fees, costs and
expenses shall be part of the Obligations, payable on demand and secured by the
Collateral: (a) reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees, allocated costs of internal counsel and reasonable fees of
environmental consultants, accountants and other professionals retained by
Lender) incurred in connection with the examination, review, due diligence
investigation, documentation and closing of the financing arrangements evidenced

reasonable attorneys' fees, allocated costs of internal counsel and reasonable
fees of environmental consultants, accountants and other professionals retained

documentation, execution and administration of the Loan Documents, the Loans,
and any amendments, waivers, consents, forbearances and other modifications
relating thereto or any subordination or intercreditor agreements; (c)
reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in creating, perfecting and
maintaining perfection of Liens in favor of Lender; (d) reasonable fees, costs
and expenses incurred in connection with forwarding to Borrowers the proceeds of
Loans including Lender's standard wire transfer fee; (e) reasonable fees, costs,
expenses and bank charges, including bank charges for returned checks, incurred
by Lender in establishing, maintaining and handling lock box accounts, blocked
accounts or other accounts for collection of the Collateral; (f) reasonable
fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and allocated costs
of internal counsel) and costs of settlement incurred in collecting upon or
enforcing rights against the Collateral or incurred in any action to enforce
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to collect any payments due from
Borrowers or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or incurred in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the
credit arrangements provided under this Agreement, whether in the nature of a
"workout" or in connection with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or
otherwise.
54
9.4 Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to
subsection 9.3, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
consummated, Borrowers agree to indemnify, pay and hold Lender, and the
officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, auditors, persons engaged
by Lender to evaluate or monitor the Collateral, affiliates and attorneys of
Lender and such holders (collectively called the "Indemnitees") harmless from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or
judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee
shall be designated a party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against that Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the statements contained in the commitment
letters, if any, delivered by Lender, Lender's agreement to make the Loans
hereunder, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loans or the
exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (the
"Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that Borrowers shall have no obligation to
an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction.
9.5 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan
Documents, or consent to any departure by Borrowers therefrom, shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and
Borrowers. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
it was given.

representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary,
the agreements of Borrowers set forth in subsections 9.3 and 9.4 shall survive
the payment of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.
9.8 Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of
Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege shall impair such power,
right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege.
9.9 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall not be under any
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other party
or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that
any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to Lender or Lender enforces its
security interests or exercise its rights of setoff, and such payment or
payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the
extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and
continued
56
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among
the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements,
representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the
subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of
prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the
parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.
9.11 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be
given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not
permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an
exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall
not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is
taken or condition exists.
9.12 Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or
enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement,
or the other Loan Documents or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction.

are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a

hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.
9.16 No Fiduciary Relationship; Limitation of Liabilities.
(A) No provision in this Agreement or in any
of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties
shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty by Lender to Borrowers.
57
(B) Neither Lender, nor any affiliate, officer,
director, shareholder, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any
liability with respect to, and Borrowers hereby waive, release, and
agree not to xxx any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect,
incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Borrowers in
connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Borrowers hereby waive, release, and agree not to xxx Lender or any of Lender's
affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive
damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any
way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby.
9.17 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF XXXX,
STATE OF ILLINOIS AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO LENDER'S ELECTION, ALL

DOCUMENTS AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED
FUTURE DEALINGS. BORROWERS AND LENDER FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH
HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL

9.19 Construction. Each Borrower and Lender each acknowledge that
it has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded
an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its

58
9.20 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any
amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements 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 an original, but all of
which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof
by each of the parties hereto.
9.21 No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other
professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to

whatsoever to Borrowers or any of any Borrower's shareholders or any other
Person.
9.22 Confidentiality. Lender shall hold all nonpublic information
identified as such by Borrowers in accordance with such Person's customary
procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in
accordance with safe and sound business practices and in any event may make
disclosure reasonably required by a bona fide offeree or assignee (or
participation), or as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or
representative thereof, or pursuant to legal process, or to its accountants,
lawyers and other advisors, and shall require any such offeree or assignee (or
participant) to agree (and require any of its offerees, assignees or
participants to agree) to comply with this Section 9.22. In no event shall
Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Borrowers;
