Background
Reference is hereby made to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2003 (as heretofore amended and in effect on the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Agent, the Lenders, Workflow and DBF. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower has requested that the Agent and the Lenders amend, and temporarily waive compliance with, certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, and the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to do so, but only upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower, DBF, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders agree as follows:
1. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 5, below, from and after January 1, 2004 (the “Second Amendment Date”), the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) The following section is inserted into the Credit Agreement as Section 1.09(j):
“(j) Interest shall continue to accrue upon the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan, Term A Loan, and Term B Loan at the rates set forth in Sections 1.09(a)-(e) above, as applicable (the “Accrual Rates”). However, from January 1, 2004 until the Deferral Termination Date, Workflow shall pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan, Term A Loan, and Term B Loan at the following rates (the “Pay Rates”):
(i) in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan which is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of the Base Rate plus 0.5 percent.
(ii) in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan which is a Eurodollar Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.0 percent.
(iii) in respect of the unpaid principal amount of the Term B Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.0 percent.
Interest which has accrued upon the Loans from January 1, 2004 through the Deferral Termination Date equal to the difference between the amount of interest accruing at the Accrual Rates and the amount of interest paid at the Pay Rates (hereinafter, the “Interest Accrual”), shall be due and payable upon the earlier of (1) the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (2) the Deferral Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Event of Default has occurred, and on or before the Deferral Payment Date (x) all Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full, (y) all commitments of the Agent and the Lenders to make Loans and to issue Letters of Credit have been terminated, and (z) the Agent has received (i) cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as collateral, or (ii) a standby letter of credit or standby letters of credit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to the Agent naming the Agent as beneficiary, in each case in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, then, subject to the provisions of Section 3.04, the Lenders shall waive the Interest Accrual. From and after the Deferral Termination Date, interest shall accrue and be paid in accordance with Sections 1.09(a)-(e).”
(b) Section 3.01(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following inserted in its place:
“(ii) Workflow agrees to pay to the Agent for the pro rata account of each of the Lenders a maintenance fee (the “Maintenance Fee”) on January 31, 2004, March 31, 2004, April 30, 2004, and on July 31, 2004, each in an amount equal to the Applicable Maintenance Fee Percentage times the sum of (A) the Total Revolving Commitment (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, then the aggregate outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans) on that date and (B) the aggregate outstanding balance of the Term Loans on that date. Each of the Maintenance Fees shall be fully earned as of the date due. The Applicable Maintenance Fee Percentage shall mean the following percentage for the Maintenance Fees due on the following dates:
| Due Date: |
Percentage: | |
| 1/31/04 |
0.5% | |
| 3/31/04 |
1.0% | |
| 4/30/04 |

Notwithstanding the above, the Agent and the Lenders agree to defer the payment of the Maintenance Fee due on January 31, 2004 and, if the Deferral Payment Date is extended to April 30, 2004, the Maintenance Fee due on March 31, 2004 (collectively,
2
the “Deferred Maintenance Fees”) until the earlier of (1) the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (2) the Deferral Payment Date. Further, provided that no Event of Default has occurred, and on or before the Deferral Payment Date (x) all Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full, (y) all commitments of the Agent and the Lenders to make Loans and to issue Letters of Credit have been terminated, and (z) the Agent has received (i) cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as collateral or (ii) a standby letter of credit or standby letters of credit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to the Agent naming the Agent as beneficiary, in each case in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, then, subject to the provisions of Section 3.04, the Lenders shall waive the Deferred Maintenance Fees and the Maintenance Fee due on April 30, 2004.”
(c) The following sections are inserted into the Credit Agreement as Sections 3.03(j), 3.03(k) and 3.03(l):

8. Miscellaneous. No waiver or amendment contained herein shall be deemed to imply any willingness of the Agent or the Lenders to agree to, or otherwise prejudice any rights of the Agent or the Lenders with respect to, any similar waivers, amendments or agreements that may be requested for any future period. This agreement shall constitute a “Credit Document”. Except as specifically waived or amended hereby, each of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing contained herein shall in any way prejudice, impair or effect any rights or remedies of the Lenders or the Agent under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
