and each and all other instruments and documents to be delivered by
Borrower or its Affiliates under this Agreement and the creation of all
liens and security interests provided for herein are
13
within Borrower's corporate power, have been duly authorized by all
necessary or proper corporate action (including the consent of
shareholders where required), are not in contravention of any agreement or
indenture to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound, or of the
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of Borrower, and are not in
contravention of any provision of law and the same do not require the
consent or approval of any governmental body, agency, authority or any
other Person which has not been obtained and a copy thereof furnished to
Lender.
v. Solvent Financial Condition. Borrower is Solvent.
vi. Financial Statements. The audited financial statements of
Borrower as of December 31, 2002, copies of which have been delivered to
Lender, fairly present Borrower's financial condition and results of
operations in accordance with GAAP, and as of such dates and there have
been no changes since such dates. Borrower has no contingent liabilities,
liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, or
unrealized or unanticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments, which

venture or partnership with any other Person.
viii. Real Estate. Attached hereto as Schedule 5.8 is a list

applicable lease.
ix. Intellectual Property. Borrower owns or possesses all the
patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and
other intellectual property necessary for the present and planned future
conduct of its business without any conflict with the rights of others.
All such patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights,

x. Existing Business Relationship. There exists no actual or
threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of, or any adverse
modification or change in, the business relationship of Borrower with any
supplier, customer or group of customers whose purchases individually or

Borrower.
xi. Investment Company Act: Federal Reserve Board Regulations.
Borrower is not an "investment company", or an "affiliated person" of, or
"promoter" or "principal underwriter" for, an "investment company"; as
such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(15 U.S.C. ss. 80(a)(1), et seq.). The making of the Loans under this
Agreement by Lender, the application of the proceeds and repayment thereof
by Borrower and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will not violate any provision of such Act, or any rule,
regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder. Borrower does not own any margin security as that term is
defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of
14
the Federal Reserve System and the proceeds of the Loans made pursuant to
this Agreement will be used only for the purposes contemplated under this
Agreement. None of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the
purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally
incurred to purchase or carry margin security or for any other purpose
which might constitute any of the Loans under this Agreement a "purpose
credit" within the meaning of said Regulation U or Regulations T or X of
the Federal Reserve Board. Borrower will not take, or permit any agent
acting on its behalf to take, any action which might cause this Agreement
or any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto to violate any
regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.
xii. Tax Returns. Borrower and the guarantor have filed all
tax returns (Federal, state or local) required to be filed and paid all
taxes shown thereon to be due including interest and penalties or has
provided adequate reserves therefor. No assessments have been made against
Borrower or any guarantor by any taxing authority nor has any penalty or
deficiency been made by any such authority. To the best of Borrower's
knowledge, no Federal income tax return of Borrower or any guarantor is
presently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service nor are the
results of any prior examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any
state or local tax authority being contested by Borrower or any guarantor.
xiii. Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.13, no
action or proceeding is now pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower,
threatened against Borrower or any guarantor, at law, in equity or
otherwise, before any court, board, commission, agency or instrumentality
of the Federal or state government or of any municipal government or any
agency or subdivision thereof, or before any arbitrator or panel of
arbitrators, and neither Borrower nor any guarantor has accepted liability
for any such action or proceeding. There is no proceeding pending before
any governmental agency (Federal, state or local) and, to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, no investigation has been commenced before any such
governmental agency the effect of which, if adversely decided, would or
could, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Inventory. Such list indicates whether the premises are owned or leased by
Borrower or whether the premises are the premises of a warehouseman or
other third party, and if owned by a third party, the name and address of
such third party. Borrower shall provide Lender thirty (30) days prior
written notice by means of an Authenticated Record of any new location of
where Borrower maintains Inventory or closes any location where it
maintains Inventory. This notice shall indicate whether the premises are
owned or leased by Borrower or whether
15
such premises are the premises of a warehouseman or other third party, and
if owned by a third party, the name and address of such third party. Prior
to moving any Inventory to a new location, Borrower shall obtain a
landlord's waiver in form and content acceptable to Lender in its
discretion.
xvi. Equipment List and Locations. Annexed hereto as Schedule
5.16 is a list showing all of Borrower's equipment, and describing the
places where the same is located. Such list indicates whether such
premises are owned or leased by Borrower or whether the premises are the
premises of another third party, and if leased, the name and address of
such third party. Borrower shall provide Lender thirty (30) days prior
written notice by means of an Authenticated Record of any new location of
where Borrower maintains Equipment or closes any location where it
maintains Equipment. This notice shall indicate whether the premises are
owned or leased by Borrower or whether
such premises are the premises of a warehouseman or other third party, and
if owned by a third party, the name and address of such third party. Prior
to moving any Equipment to a new location, Borrower shall obtain a

discretion.
xvii. Title/ Liens. Borrower has good and marketable title to
the Collateral as sole owner thereof. There are no existing liens on any
Property of Borrower, except for liens in favor of Lender and liens
described in Schedule 5.17. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.17, none of
the Collateral is subject to any prohibition against encumbering,
pledging, hypothecating or assigning the same or requires notice or
consent in connection therewith.
xviii. Existing Indebtedness. Borrower has no existing
Indebtedness except the Indebtedness described in Schedule 5.18.

benefits under any Plan (calculated on the basis of the actuarial
evaluation for the Plan) did not exceed as of the date of the most recent
actuarial evaluation for such Plan the fair market value of the assets of
such Plan allocable to such benefits. Borrower is not aware of any
information since the date of such evaluation that would affect the
information contained therein. Such Plan has not incurred an accumulating
funding deficiency, as that term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA or
Section 412 of the Code (whether or not waived), no liability to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than required premiums which
have become due and payable, all of which have been paid) has been
incurred with respect to the Plan and there has not been any Reportable
Event which presents a risk of termination of the Plan by the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Borrower has not engaged in any transaction
which would subject Borrower to tax, penalty or liability for prohibited
transactions imposed by ERISA or the Code.
xx. O.S.H.A. Borrower has duly complied with, and its
facilities, business, leaseholds, equipment and other property are in
compliance in all respects with, the provisions of the Federal
Occupational Safety and Health Act and all rules and regulations
thereunder and all similar state and local Governmental Rules. There are

27
claim is fully covered by insurance and the insurance company
has accepted liability therefore in writing; or
j. if any obligation of Borrower in respect of any
Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness to Lender) shall be
declared to be or shall become due and payable prior to its
stated maturity or such obligation shall not be paid as and
when the same becomes due and payable; or there shall occur
any event or condition which constitutes an event of default
under any mortgage, indenture, instrument, agreement or
evidence of Indebtedness relating to any obligation of
Borrower in respect of any such Indebtedness the effect of
which is to permit the holder or the holders of such mortgage,
indenture, instrument, agreement or evidence of Indebtedness,
or a trustee, agent or other representative on behalf of such
holder or holders, to cause the Indebtedness evidenced thereby
to become due prior to its stated maturity; or

proceedings to terminate any Plan or to appoint a trustee to

under the other Loan Documents; or
m. upon the happening of any of the events described in
Subsections 12.1 (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i) or (j) with

terminate its guaranty or upon the death of a guarantor that
is a natural person, if any; or
n. if either Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx or Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx does
not occupy the same position with Borrower as at the time of

Borrower to perform substantially the same duties as Xxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx or Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, as the case may be; (ii) such
individual and their qualifications and experience are

28
Then, and in any such event, Lender may terminate this Agreement
without prior notice or demand to Borrower or may demand payment in full of all
Obligations (whether otherwise then payable on demand or not) without

responsibility to extend any credit or afford any financial accommodation to

ii. Obligations Immediately Due. Upon the Termination Date for
any reason, all of Borrower's Obligations to Lender including, but not

Lender under the General Security Agreement or under any other Loan
Document and Borrower shall continue to assign Receivables and consign

to Lender.
iv. Lockbox. Upon the occurrence of and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to
require Borrower to establish a Lockbox over which Lender shall have the
sole power of withdrawal. Upon the establishment of such Lockbox, all
proceeds of Collateral, whether cash, checks, drafts, notes, acceptances
or other forms of payment including, without limitation, electronic
payment if received by Borrower, shall be received by Borrower in trust
for Lender and Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered such

iv. Strict Performance. The failure, at any time or times
hereafter, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of
this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender
thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any
suspension or waiver by Lender of any Default or Event of Default by
Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not
suspend, waive or affect any other Default or Event of Default by Borrower

or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or a different type.
v. Waiver. Borrower waives presentment, protest, notice of
dishonor and notice of protest upon any instrument on which it may be
liable to Lender as maker, endorser, guarantor or otherwise.
vi. Construction of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that
the terms and language of this Agreement were the result of negotiations
between the parties, and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that
any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against either party.
Any controversy over the construction of this Agreement shall be decided
mutually without regard to events of authorship or negotiation.
vii. Expenses. If, at any time or times prior or subsequent to
the date hereof, regardless of whether or not a Default or an Event of
Default then exists or any of the transactions contemplated under this
Agreement are concluded, Lender employs counsel for advice or other
representation, or incurs legal expenses, or consulting fees and expenses,
or other costs or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with: (a) the
31
negotiation and preparation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or any amendment of or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document; (b) the administration of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (c)
periodic audits and appraisals performed by Lender; (d) any litigation,
contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by
Lender, Borrower or any other Person) in any way relating to the
Collateral, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Borrower's
affairs; (e) the perfection of any lien on the Collateral; (f) any attempt
to enforce any rights or remedies of Lender against Borrower or any other

(g) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, preserve, restore, collect,
sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral;
then, in any such event, the actual reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses arising from such services and all reasonable expenses, costs,
charges and other fees of such counsel of Lender or relating to any of the
events or actions described in this Section 14.7 shall be payable by
Borrower to Lender, and shall be additional Obligations under this
Agreement secured by the Collateral. Additionally, if any taxes (excluding
taxes imposed upon or measured by the net income of Lender, but including
any intangibles tax, stamp tax or recording tax) shall be payable on
account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution,
delivery, issuance or recording of any other Loan Document, or the
creation of any of the Obligations under this Agreement, by reason of any
existing or hereafter enacted Federal or state statute, Borrower will pay
(or will promptly reimburse Lender for the payment of) all such taxes
including, but not limited to, any interest and penalties thereon, and
will indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any
liability in connection therewith. Borrower shall also reimburse Lender
for all other expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, fees in connection with any bank
account, the Lockbox, wire charges, automatic clearing house fees and
other similar costs and expenses.
viii. Reimbursements Charged to Revolving Loan. With respect
to any amount advanced by Lender and required to be reimbursed by Borrower
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 14.7, it is hereby agreed
that Lender may charge any such amount to Borrower's Revolving Loan on the
dates such reimbursement is made. Borrower's obligations under Section
14.7 shall survive termination of the other provisions of this Agreement.
ix. Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.
A. Borrower and Lender recognize that in matters related to the
Loans and this Agreement, and as it may be subsequently modified and/or amended,
any such party may be entitled to a trial in which matters of fact are
determined by a jury (as opposed to a trial in which such matters are determined
by a Federal or state judge). By execution of this Agreement, Lender and
Borrower will give up their respective right to a trial by jury. Borrower and
Lender each hereby expressly acknowledge that this waiver is entered into to
avoid delays, minimize trial expenses, and streamline the legal proceedings in
order to accomplish a quick resolution of
32
claims arising under or in connection with the Revolving Note, the Term Note and
this Agreement.
B. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY
LAW, BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT BORROWER OR LENDER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT

IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOANS, THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
THEREBY OR HEREBY, BEFORE OR AFTER MATURITY.
C. CERTIFICATIONS. BORROWER HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NEITHER ANY
REPRESENTATIVE NOR AGENT OF LENDER NOR LENDER'S COUNSEL HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, OR IMPLIED THAT LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
LENDER HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATION HEREIN.
x. Indemnification by Borrower/Waiver of Claims. Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel selected by
Lender) and hold harmless Lender and its officers, partners, employees,
consultants and agents from and against any and all claims, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the actual
fees and expenses of counsel) which may be incurred by or asserted against
Lender or any such other Person in connection with:
a. any investigation, action or proceeding arising out
of or in any way relating to this Agreement, any of the Loans,
any of the other Loan Documents, any other agreement relating
to any of the Obligations, any of the Collateral, or any act
or omission relating to any of the foregoing; or
b. any taxes, liabilities, claims or damages relating to
the Collateral or Lender's liens thereon; or
c. the correctness, validity or genuineness of any
instrument or document that may be released or endorsed to
Borrower by Lender (which shall automatically be deemed to be
without recourse to Lender in any event), or the existence,
character, quantity, quality, condition, value or delivery of
any goods purporting to be represented by any such documents;
or
d. any broker's commission, finder's fee or similar
charge or fee in connection with the Loans and the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
xi. Savings Clause for Indemnification. To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in Section 14.10
above may be
33
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy,
Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay
and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all
matters referred to under Section 14.10.
xii. Waiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no
claim may be made by Borrower or any other Person against Lender or any of
its Affiliates, partners, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or
consultants for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
in respect of any claim for breach of contract, tort or any other theory
of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any act, omission or event
occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower hereby waives, releases
and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not
accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
Neither Lender nor any of its Affiliates, partners, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys or consultants shall be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for its or their
own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
xiii. Entire Agreement; Amendments; Lender's Consent. This
Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules thereto) and the other
Loan Documents supersede, with respect to their subject matter, all prior
and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements or conditions
between the respective parties, whether express or implied, oral or
written. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a Record
Authenticated by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given.
xiv. Cross Default; Cross Collateral. Borrower hereby agrees
that (a) all other agreements between Borrower and Lender are hereby
amended so that a Default or an Event of Default under this Agreement is a
default under all such other agreements and a default under any one of the
other agreements is a Default or an Event of Default under this Agreement,
and (b) the Collateral under this Agreement secures the Obligations now or
hereafter outstanding under all other agreements between Borrower and
Lender and the Collateral pledged under any other agreement with Lender
secures the Obligations under this Agreement.
xv. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute
but one and the same agreement.
xvi. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in
any other jurisdiction.
34
xvii. Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents and
headings preceding the text of this Agreement are inserted solely for

d) Litigation
A. In June 1998, United Water of New York Inc. ("United") commenced an action
against the Xxxxxx Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") in the Supreme Court of
the State of New York, Rockland County, seeking damages in the amount of $1.2
million allegedly sustained as a result of alleged contamination of certain of
United's xxxxx which are in close proximity to the Company's Hillburn, New York
facility.
On April 1, 1999, the Company reported a release at the Company's Hillburn, New
York facility of approximately 7,800 lbs. of R-11, as a result of a failed hose
connection to one of the Company's outdoor storage tanks allowing liquid R-11 to
discharge from the tank into the concrete secondary containment area in which
the subject tank was located.
In July 1999, United amended its complaint in the Rockland County action to
allege facts relating to, and to seek damages allegedly resulting from the April
1, 1999 R-11 release.
In June 2000, the Rockland County Supreme Court approved a settlement of the
Rockland County action commenced by United. Under the settlement, the Company
paid to United the sum of $1,000,000 and has been making additional monthly
payments in the amount of $5,000, which payments are expected to continue
through December 2003. .
In June 2000, the Company signed an Order on Consent with the DEC regarding all
past contamination of the United well field, whereby, the Company agreed to
continue operating a remediation system it installed at its Hillburn facility in
May 1999, until remaining groundwater contamination has been effectively abated.
In May 2001, the Company signed an amendment to the Order on Consent with the
DEC, pursuant to which the Company installed one additional monitoring well and
modified the Company's existing remediation system to incorporate a second
recovery well. The Company is continuing to operate the remediation system
pursuant to that Order on Consent.
In May 2000, the Company's Hillburn facility was nominated by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") for listing on the National Priorities
List ("NPL"), pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980. The Company submitted opposition to the listing
within the sixty-day comment period. To date, no final decision has been made by
the EPA regarding the proposed listing. The Company has requested that the EPA
remove the Hillburn facility from nomination for the NPL due to the continued
reduction of contamination.
In October 2001, the Company learned that trace levels of R-11 were detected in
one of United's xxxxx that are closest to the Village of Suffern's ("Village")
well system. During February 2002, the Village expressed concern over the
possibility of R-11 reaching its well system and has advised the Company that it
was investigating available options to protect its well system. No contamination
of R-11 has ever been detected in any of the Village's xxxxx. In October 2002,
the Village advised the Company that it intends to proceed with plans to protect
its xxxxx and could look to the Company to reimburse the Village for any costs
it may incur. To date, no detailed cost estimate, formal demand or claim has
been presented by the Village.
In February 2003, the Company agreed to extend the statute of limitations
applicable to any claims that may be available to Ramapo Land Company, the
lessor of the Hillburn facility, arising out of the April 1, 1999 incident for
an additional two years. To date, no claims against the Company have been
asserted or threatened by Ramapo Land Company.
B. In February 2000, an action was commenced in the Supreme Court of the State
of New York, Rockland by XX Xxxxxxx Inc. d/b/a Dow-Tech Associates against the
Company seeking recovery of the sum of $20,000 allegedly due in connection with
the hiring of two employees by the Company. The Company maintains that the
allegations
51
in the complaint are without merit, that no amounts are due the plaintiff and
that the plaintiff owes $4,000 to the Company for unearned deposits.
52
Schedule 5.13 (continued)
B. In April 2003, NASDAQ advised the Guarantor that, based upon Guarantor's
Stock holders equity as reported in Form 10KSB for the 12 months ended December
31, 2002, the Guarantor failed to comply with Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing
requirements and was subject to delisting unless the Guarantor could demonstrate
a plan to achieve and sustain compliance with Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing
requirements. The Guarantor has submitted a plan, based upon the proposed rights
offering, to Nasdaq which the Guarantor believes will achieve and sustain
compliance.

Schedule 5.21
Environmental Matters
(a) The Borrower is a refrigerant services company providing innovative
solutions to recurring problems within the refrigeration industry. The
Borrower's products and services are primarily used in commercial air
conditioning, industrial processing and refrigeration systems, including (i)
refrigerant sales, (ii) RefrigerantSide(R) Services performed at a customer's
site, consisting of system decontamination to remove moisture, oils and other
contaminants and (iii) reclamation of refrigerants. The Company's products and
services are centered around refrigerants of all types, including
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC's),
Hyrofluorocarbons (HFC's), and Anhydrous Ammonia. Most refrigerants handled,
processed or sold by the Borrower are classified as hazardous materials and some
are classified as hazardous substances.
Additionally, the Borrower's facilities located at Champaign,
Illinois and Rantoul, Illinois, and Punta Gorda, Florida, are classified as
small waste generators and generate and store small amounts of hazardous waste
representing spent laboratory chemicals used in the Borrower's refrigerant
testing laboratories.
(c) (i) On April 1, 1999, the Borrower reported a release at its Hillburn,
New York facility of approximately 7,800 lbs. of R-11, as a result of a failed
hose connection to one of the Borrower's outdoor storage tanks allowing liquid
R-11 to discharge from the tank into the concrete secondary containment area in
which the subject tank was located. The R-11 migrated to ground water and
impacted four xxxxx operated by United Water New York used for supply of
drinking water to Rockland County.
(ii) In January 1999, the Borrower had a vapor release at its Baton
Rouge, Louisiana facility of a quantity of ammonia.
(iii) Normal operation of the Borrower's equipment results in de
minimis releases of refrigerants. EPA regulations permit a loss of up to 1.5% of
refrigerant processed during reclamation procedures.
(d) The Borrower has above ground bulk storage tanks used for the storage
of refrigerant at the following facilities: Rantoul, Illinois; Champaign,
Illinois, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx; Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx. Additionally, the
Company stores refrigerants at each of its facilities in cylinders and tanks
ranging in size from 30 lbs to 10,000 lbs.
(f) All of the Borrower's facilities, except for the Pearl River, New York
and Fremont, New Hampshire facilities, have various refrigerants at the
facilities, including Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), Hydrochlorofluorocarbons
(HCFC's), Hyrofluorocarbons (HFC's), and Anhydrous Ammonia. Most refrigerants
handled, processed or sold by the Borrower are classified as hazardous materials
and some are classified as hazardous substances.
(h) See schedule 5.13 above.
