SECTION 4 – FORBEARANCE BY LENDER
4.1 Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth herein, and further subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 below or any other limitation set forth in this Agreement, the Lender will not exercise or enforce its rights or remedies against Borrower to which Lender would be entitled under the terms of the Loan Documents by reason of the occurrence of the Designated Defaults; provided, that such forbearance shall not act as a waiver of Lender’s right to enforce any such right or remedy after the Forbearance Termination Date, it being agreed to and understood that on the Forbearance Termination Date, Lender’s agreement to forbear shall automatically and without further action terminate and be of no force and effect, and as a result thereof, Lender shall be permitted to immediately exercise any and all of its rights and remedies it may have as a result of the existence of the Designated Defaults in accordance with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents or applicable law. Furthermore, nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Lender to extend the Forbearance Termination Date. Lender specifically agrees that, prior to the Forbearance Termination Date (and provided that no Default or Event of Default (other than the Designated Defaults) under the Loan Documents exists and all other conditions to funding are satisfied) Lender shall continue to administer the lines of credit under the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Lines”) and permit advances (up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of the (i) Availability or (ii) the amount of disbursements set forth in the Cash Flow Forecast) and repayments in the same manner and in accordance with the same terms as governed by the Loan Documents. On the Forbearance Termination Date, all such indebtedness as is then outstanding pursuant to the Credit Lines shall be considered as part of the Obligations and shall thereupon be immediately due and payable in full. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by the Borrower that Lender’s agreement herein to continue administering the Credit Lines as provided for hereby during the forbearance period shall not in any manner be deemed to prejudice Lender or act as a waiver of its otherwise applicable rights and remedies to collect and enforce the full amount of the Obligations as of the Forbearance Termination Date.
The following Events of Default occurring after the date hereof (“Future Permitted Defaults”) will not constitute Events of Termination:
a. Borrower’s failure to timely file its periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for any period prior to the earlier of April 1, 2006, or such earlier date as may be required by the SEC;
b. Borrower’s failure to present auditor’s reviews of annual financial statements when required by the Loan Documents for any period prior to the fiscal period ending December 31, 2005 which have not been provided to Lender.
If on December 15, 2005, Borrower is in full compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no Event of Default (other than Designated Defaults or Future Permitted Defaults exist) Borrower may request a 30 day extension of the Forbearance Termination Date to January 14, 2006, provided such request is accompanied by payment of an additional forbearance fee in the sum of $500,000, whereupon the Forbearance Termination Date shall, absent any Event of Termination, be so extended.
4.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.1:
a. | the Designated Defaults shall constitute existing Events of Default for the purpose of determining whether or not certain actions or in-actions may be taken or otherwise acquiesced to by or on behalf of the Borrower, as set forth in the |
4
Loan Documents, and, accordingly, any actions or in-actions taken or omitted by the Borrower in violation of such provisions while any Event of Default (including any Designated Default) exists will constitute additional Events of Default under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as well as a breach of the terms of this Agreement;
b. | under no circumstances shall the forbearance by Lender under this Agreement be deemed to extend to any of Lender’s rights and remedies under any Subordination Agreements to which Lender is a party, it being agreed to and understood that Lender shall be entitled to enforce any and all provisions of any Subordination Agreements to the fullest extent provided therein in accordance with the terms thereof, including, without limitation, invoking any rights that arise as a result of the existence of the Designated Defaults to block payments by Borrower to any subordinated creditor party thereto on account of any debt owing to such subordinated creditor; and |
c. | under no circumstances shall the forbearance by Lender under this Agreement be deemed to extend to any rights of Lender under the Loan Documents to charge a default rate of interest on account of the Obligations due to the existence of the Designated Defaults or any other Event of Default, it being agreed to and understood that Lender shall retain all rights to charge such default interest in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. |
4.3 Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the outstanding Advances under the Revolving Facility exceed Availability in the amount set forth in the Borrowing Certificate dated September 15, 2005, executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender (the “Overadvance”). The Parties hereby agree that, the Overadvance shall not be included in the outstanding amount of the Revolving Facility for purposes of calculating Availability. Borrower agrees that Lender shall modify the liquidity factors and reserves as reflected on the Borrowing Certificate.
SECTION 5 – COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER
Borrower jointly and severally agrees that it shall comply with the following covenants, any breach of which shall constitute an immediate Event of Termination:
a. | On or before September 30, 2005, Borrower shall deliver an updated Cash Flow Forecast on a rolling thirteen week basis in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, which shall include a comparison between anticipated and actual results. Once accepted by Lender such updated Cash Flow Forecast shall replace the Cash Flow Forecast attached to this Agreement. |
b. | Borrower shall not expend any funds or monies for any purpose other than those line items set forth in the Cash Flow Forecast or expressly agreed to in writing by Lender. Borrower’s actual payment of the individual line items and the cumulative disbursements shall not exceed the projected amount set forth in the Cash Flow Forecast. For the initial week of any three week period covered by the Cash Flow Forecast, compliance shall be measured on the basis of the one week period covered thereby. For the initial two week period of any three week period covered by the Cash Flow Forecast, compliance shall be measured on a rolling two week basis ending as of the end of the second week. For the initial and any succeeding three week period covered by the Cash Flow Forecast, compliance shall be measured on a rolling three week basis as of the end of such three week period. |

Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s termination of the engagement of the chief restructuring officer, absent the simultaneous appointment of a replacement chief restructuring officer acceptable to Lender on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Lender, shall constitute an immediate Event of Termination hereunder. Borrower also agrees that Lender may directly engage its own financial consultant, that all fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall constitute part of the Obligations and that Borrower shall cooperate with such financial consultant engaged by Lender in the same manner as set forth herein; provided, however, such fees and expenses will not exceed $200,000 for the first month of such consultant’s engagement, $150,000 for the second month or $100,000 for any month thereafter. |
e. | Borrower shall ensure that all collections of its Accounts and all other payments received by Borrower are made to the appropriate Lockbox Account in accordance with Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement. |
f. | Borrower shall not continue to factor or otherwise finance any of its Accounts with APF or any other third party. |
g. | Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-refundable forbearance fee (which shall be deemed fully earned as of the date of this Agreement) in the amount of $1,500,000 (which shall be in addition to the $450,000 fee payable under the Forbearance Agreement, which has been fully earned), which shall be payable in three equal installments of $500,000, commencing on the date of this Agreement and on the 15th day of each month thereafter. Borrower’s obligation to pay the foregoing forbearance fee shall expressly survive the termination of any forbearance hereunder and/or the termination of this Agreement. |
h. | Borrower shall provide to Lender a draft copy of any press release and/or other publicly available document (including, without limitation, filings with the SEC) at least 12 hours prior to issuing such press release or filing any such document; and Borrower shall make changes to such press release or document as are suggested by Lender, provided such changes do not cause any violation of law, rule or regulation and such changes are promptly received by Borrower; provided, however, if disclosure is required on the same day, based upon the advise of counsel or as requested by the Securities Exchange Commission, Borrower need only provide Lender four (4) hours advance notice or such shorter period as is reasonably requested. Furthermore, without the prior written consent of Lender, neither Borrower nor any of its representatives shall make any statement (written or oral) to any person regarding Lender, the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents, this Agreement or any of the transactions described therein, unless such person is bound by a written confidentiality agreement with the Borrower covering any such statement. |
6
i. | Borrower shall engage an investment banker, reasonably acceptable to Lender (the “Investment Banker”), to advise and assist Borrower with respect to refinancing the Obligations and/or surveying capital market alternatives and/or selling all or substantially all of Borrower’s business and/or assets (either as a whole or on a division by division basis) (collectively, the “Scope of Engagement”). Borrower shall cause such Investment Banker to issue periodic progress reports to Lender as and when requested by Lender, to fully respond to any inquiries by Lender regarding any matter within the Scope of Engagement, and to fully and candidly discuss with Lender any matter within the Scope of Engagement.

The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full of the Obligations. |
9.2 | Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand (a) an amount equal to any and all out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including legal fees (including allocable costs and disbursements of Lender’s in-house legal counsel)) incurred or sustained by Lender in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and all related matters; and (b) from time to time after the Forbearance Termination Date, any and all out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (including legal fees (including allocable costs and disbursements of Lender’s in-house legal counsel) and reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal and other similar professional fees and expenses) hereafter incurred or sustained by Lender in connection with the administration of credit extended by Lender to Borrower or the preservation of or enforcement of any rights of Lender under this Agreement, and the Loan Documents or in respect of any of Borrower’s obligations to Lender, all of which shall be deemed reasonable and payment of which shall be secured by the Collateral. |

Borrower specifically acknowledges that Lender has not waived, presently does not intend to waive, and may never waive the Designated Defaults, and nothing contained herein or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to constitute any such waiver or to establish a custom or course of dealing. The failure of Lender at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by Borrower of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained herein in this Agreement or in any Loan Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender at any time or times thereafter to demand strict performance thereof; and, no rights of Lender hereunder shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of Lender, its agents, officers or employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing signed by an officer of Lender and directed to Borrower specifying such waiver. No waiver by Lender of any of its rights shall operate as a waiver of any other of its rights or any of its rights on a future occasion. |
9.5 | In the event Lender seeks to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by court process, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any bonds and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession, and waives any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover said Collateral. |
9.6 | Borrower shall at any time or from time to time execute and deliver such further instruments, and take such further action as Lender may reasonably request, in each case further to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, to create, perfect, protect or maintain Lender’s Liens and security interests in and to the Collateral. In addition, Borrower will promptly furnish to Lender such additional financial or other information as Lender may reasonably request from time to time to verify compliance with this Agreement, or to ascertain whether any Event of Termination has occurred. |
9.7 | Borrower jointly and severally represents and warrants that (1) it is represented by legal counsel of its choice, is fully aware of the terms contained in this Agreement and has voluntarily and without coercion or duress of any kind, entered into this Agreement and the documents executed in connection with this Agreement; or (2) it has knowingly and intentionally waived its right to have legal counsel of its choice review and represent it with respect to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and was informed by Lender that they had the right to representation legal counsel and representation of its choice. |
9.8 | Each reference herein or in any Loan Document to Lender shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns, and each reference to Borrower and any pronouns referring thereto as used herein shall be construed in the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the context may require, shall be deemed to refer to each and every Borrower, and shall be deemed to include |

9.10 | This Agreement constitutes the entire and final agreement among the parties and there are no agreements, understandings, warranties or representations among the parties except as set forth herein. This Agreement will inure to the benefit and bind the respective heirs, administrators, executors, representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. |
9.11 | Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law; if any clause or provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected thereby, will continue in full force and effect in all other jurisdictions and said remaining portions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in the subject jurisdiction as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid portions thereof deleted. It is the intention of the parties that if any such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, there will be added in lieu thereof a provision as similar in terms to such provision as is possible, and that such added provision will be legal, valid and enforceable. |
9.12 | All headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not intended to affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. |
9.13 | This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original document, but all of which will constitute a single document.
