(b) Wind-Down
Funds. On or before the date of closing of the Sony Sale, the

(collectively, the “Wind-Down Funds”),
which shall be deposited into one or more collateral accounts at Wachovia owned
by and titled in the name of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the

Agreement. The collateral accounts shall consist of a checking
account (the “Checking
Account”) with an initial balance of $250,000 and one or more money
market accounts (each a “Money Market
Account”) which will contain the balance of the Wind-Down Funds less
$250,000.
(i) Checking
Account. Absent an Event of Default, the Borrower may use the
funds in the Checking Account for wind-down activities pursuant to the Wind-Down
Budget (as defined below). Commencing on February 10, 2009, and within 10 days
following the end of each month thereafter, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent invoices evidencing the amounts spent by the Borrower from
the Checking Account on wind-down activities for the prior month, together with
identification of the line item or items and categories of such costs in the
Wind-Down Budget. Within 2 Business Days following the Administrative
Agent’s receipt of such invoices and line item and category information
sufficient to support the prior month’s expenditures from the Checking Account,
the Administrative Agent shall cause funds to be transferred from a Money Market
Account to the Checking Account such that the balance in the Checking Account is
$250,000; provided that if an Event of
Default exists and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not be
obligated to transfer funds to the Checking Account.
(ii) Money Market
Accounts. From time to time, but in no event more than six (6)
times per month with respect to each Money Market Account, the Borrower may
submit to the Administrative Agent requests for disbursements of the Wind-Down
Funds, together with (i) the invoices evidencing such amounts for which
disbursement is requested and (ii) identification of the line item or items and
category where such costs are included in that certain Wind-Down Budget dated
September, 2008 (the “Wind-Down
Budget”). Upon receipt of such request and supporting
invoices, the Administrative Agent shall, within 2 Business Days
following receipt of such request and supporting invoices, disburse such
portions of the Wind-Down Funds from such Money Market Accounts to the Borrower
for such wind-down activities; provided that (1) upon the
completion of all wind-down activities in a certain category of the Budget, (a)
half of all Wind-Down Funds allocated to such category in the Budget and not
disbursed, shall be used to repay the Term Loan on a pro rata basis across the
remaining principal payments set forth in Section 2.2(b)(with any excess to be
applied in the order specified in Section 2.7(b)(vi)(B) hereof), and
(b) the remaining half of such Wind-Down Funds allocated to such category and
not disbursed shall remain Wind-Down Funds subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, and (2) if an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disbursement the Wind-Down
Funds.
(c) Fees. The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders holding the Term Loan the following fees on the following dates: (1) if
the Borrower has not sold the North Carolina Property on or before December 31,

benefit of the Lenders holding the Term Loan a fee in the amount of $100,000 on
December 31, 2009, and (2) if the Term Loan has not been paid in full prior to
December 31, 2010, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders holding the Term Loan a fee in the amount of $300,000 on
December 31, 2010; provided that if any portion
of the principal payment of the Term Loan due on December 31, 2010, has been
paid prior to such date, the $300,000 fee will be prorated so as not to apply to
such portion as has already been repaid.

currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first
currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which

hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any
judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”)
other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the

the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Euro Borrower in the Agreement
Currency, such Euro Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or
such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to
such Euro Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under
applicable law).
