2.2 PROCEDURE FOR REVOLVING CREDIT BORROWING. The Borrower may
borrow under the Revolving Credit Commitments during the Commitment Period on
any Business Day in accordance with this Section 2.2, PROVIDED, that the
Borrower shall give the General Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower

shall govern. Each Lender will make the amount of its Revolving Credit
Percentage of each borrowing available to the General Administrative Agent for
the account of the Borrower at the office of the General Administrative Agent
specified in Section 11.2 prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the

and settlement among the Lenders contemplated by subsections 2.5, 4.3(h) and (i)
and 4.9(e) and (f) are in effect in which event such procedures shall govern.
Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by crediting the
Disbursement Account with the aggregate amounts made available by the Lenders
and in like funds as received unless the procedures for daily revolving
borrowing and settlement among the Lenders contemplated by subsections 2.5,
4.3(h) and (i) and 4.9(e) and (f) are in effect in which event such procedures
shall govern.

amount of the Revolving Credit Loans from time to time outstanding from the date
hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates,
set forth in Section 4.6.

are in effect, such procedures shall govern.
(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each
Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.3(b) shall be PRIMA FACIE evidence of
the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the failure of any Lender, the General Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error
therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower or any
other Loan Party to repay (with applicable interest) the Revolving Credit Loans
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the General
Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to

and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date
thereof, the outstanding Extensions of Credit would exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to
$5,000,000, or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce
permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.
2.5 FUNDING MECHANISMS DURING BORROWER NOTIFICATION PERIOD.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in order to reduce
the number of fund transfers among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Collateral
Agent, during the Borrower Notification Period, the Collateral Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to), without any requirement of notice, fund, on behalf
of all Lenders, Loans pursuant to Section 2.1, subject to the procedures for
settlement set forth in subsection 4.9(e) and (f); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (a)
the Collateral Agent shall in no event fund any such Loan if it shall have
received written notice from the Required Lenders at least one Business Day
before the proposed Borrowing Date that one or more of the conditions precedent
specified in Section 6.2 will not be satisfied as of the Borrowing Date and (b)
the Collateral Agent shall otherwise not be required to determine that, or take
notice whether, any such conditions precedent have been satisfied.
SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1 L/C COMMITMENT. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the L/C Lenders set
forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the "LETTERS OF
CREDIT") for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the
Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the
Issuing Lender; PROVIDED that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to
provide any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate
amount of the L/C Obligations then outstanding would exceed $35,000,000; (ii)
the aggregate Extensions of Credit of all of the Lenders would exceed the lesser
of (x) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect or (y) the
Borrowing Base then in effect and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that (i) up to $15,000,000
of Letters of Credit shall be available solely to backstop automobile,
liability, workers' compensation and similar insurance programs; (ii) up to
$15,000,000 of Letters of Credit shall be available solely for performance bonds
on new bids by Borrower or its Subsidiaries in the United States. Each Letter of
Credit shall (i) be denominated in U.S. Dollars and (ii) expire no later than
the date which is 60 days after the Maturity Date.
(b) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs
and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New
York.
3.2 PROCEDURE FOR ISSUANCE OF LETTER OF CREDIT. The Borrower may
from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by
delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an
Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the
22
Issuing Lender, the certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and
such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the
Issuing Lender may request, with a copy to the General Administrative Agent.
Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender agrees to process such
Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information
delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary
procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but
in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit
earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor
and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information
relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the
beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and
the Borrower, PROVIDED, that no Letter of Credit to provide financial assurance
of reclamation, clean up or other similar changes shall be issued unless and
until the General Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined, that
such additional financial assurance is required in the amount and at the time
requested and that the Loan Party that owns the site or operation in respect of
which such assurance is requested is likely to fully perform the obligations
supported by such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of
each Letter of Credit by it hereunder to the Borrower promptly following the
issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the General
Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the L/C Lenders,
notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
3.3 COMMISSIONS, FEES AND OTHER CHARGES. (a) The Borrower shall
pay to the General Administrative Agent, for the account of the L/C Lenders, a
letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit outstanding
under this Agreement for the period from the Issuance Date of such Letter of
Credit to the expiration or termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a
per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to
LIBOR Loans on the average aggregate amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit during the period for which such fee is calculated. Such
commission shall be shared ratably among the L/C Lenders and payable in arrears
on each L/C Fee Payment Date to occur after the respective Issuance Date and on
the Termination Date and shall be nonrefundable.
(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender with respect to
each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender under this Agreement, for its
own account, a fronting fee with respect to the period from the Issuance Date of
such Letter of Credit to the expiration or termination date of such Letter of
Credit, computed at a rate of 1/4 of 1% per annum on the average aggregate
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit during the period for
which such fee is calculated. Such fronting fee shall be payable in arrears on
each L/C Fee Payment Date to occur after the Issuance Date and on the
Termination Date and shall be nonrefundable.
(c) In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the
Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary
costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing,
negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any
Letter of Credit.
23
3.4 L/C PARTICIPATIONS. (a) Effective on the Issuance Date in
respect of each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant
and hereby grants to each L/C Lender (other than such Issuing Lender), and, to
induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Lender
irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from
the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C
Lender's own account an undivided interest equal to such L/C Lender's Revolving
Credit Percentage of the Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under each
Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the
Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Lender unconditionally and irrevocably
agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of
Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Lender shall pay to the
Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender's address for notices specified
herein an amount equal to such L/C Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of the
amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Lender to the
Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion
of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by
the Issuing Lender is not paid when due but is paid within three Business Days
after the date such payment is due, the L/C Lender shall pay to the Issuing
Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii)
the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and
including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the
denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C
Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by
such L/C Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due,
the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Lender, on demand,
such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per
annum applicable to Base Rate Loans. A certificate of the Issuing Lender
submitted to any L/C Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made
payment under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender and has received
from any L/C Lender its Revolving Credit Percentage of such payment in
accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related
to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise,
including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender, but
excluding payments from L/C Lenders), or any payment of interest on account
thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Lender its Revolving
Credit Percentage thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that any such
payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the
Issuing Lender, such L/C Lender shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion
thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
3.5 REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION OF THE BORROWER. If any draft shall
be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing
Lender, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and
amount thereof. If the Issuing Lender notifies the
24
Borrower prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, of any
drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it, the Borrower shall reimburse
the Issuing Lender with respect to such drawing on the next succeeding Business
Day. If the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower after 10:00 a.m., New York City
time, on any Business Day of any drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by
it, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender with respect to such drawing
on the second succeeding Business Day. Interest shall be payable on any and all
amounts drawn under Letters of Credit from the date of such drawing until the
date on which reimbursement of such amount is due pursuant to the two
immediately preceding sentences at the interest rate then applicable to Base
Rate Loans. In addition, the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender for
any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing
Lender in connection with any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by the
Issuing Lender. Each payment by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall
be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in
U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds.
3.6 OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The Borrower's obligations under this
Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the
Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing
Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's
Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among
other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements
thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid,
fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of
Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender
shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in
transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or
omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the
Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related
drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and
shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.
3.7 LETTER OF CREDIT PAYMENTS. If any draft shall be presented
for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, the Issuing
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The
responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any
draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any
payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited
to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such
Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in
conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8 APPLICATIONS. To the extent that any provision of any
Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions
of this Section 3 or any other provision of
25
this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3 or such other provisions of
this Agreement shall apply.
SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT
4.1 COMMITMENT FEE. The Borrower agrees to pay to the General
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee for the
period from and including the Closing Date to the Termination Date, computed at

Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date
hereof.
4.2 OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS. (a) Subject to the provisions of

PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if after giving effect to any prepayment of LIBOR Loans
there remain LIBOR Loans outstanding, such outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be in
an amount in excess of $5,000,000. Upon receipt of any such notice, the General
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any
such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable
pursuant to Section 4.13 and accrued interest to such date on the amount
prepaid. Partial prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 and whole multiples of $250,000 in
excess thereof.
(b) The amount of each optional prepayment shall be applied
FIRST, to the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans, SECOND, payment of any

exceeds the amount of cash held in the Cash Collateral Account.
4.3 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS AND COMMITMENT REDUCTIONS. (a) If, at
any time during the Commitment Period, the sum of the aggregate outstanding
Loans and L/C Obligations exceeds the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base or (ii)

without notice or demand, immediately pay to the General Administrative Agent an
amount equal to such excess to be applied FIRST, to the prepayment of the
Revolving Credit Loans, SECOND, to the payment of any unpaid drawings under
Letters of Credit, and THIRD, to the cash collateralization of outstanding
undrawn Letters of Credit by depositing into the Cash Collateral Account an
amount equal to 105% of the amount by which the aggregate

such date FIRST, to the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans, SECOND, to the
payment of any unpaid drawings under Letters of Credit and THIRD, if the
Underwriters shall request, to the cash collateralization of outstanding undrawn

on the next Business Day, apply such excess FIRST to the prepayment of the
Revolving Credit Loans until the aggregate outstanding principal amount thereof
has been reduced to $10,000,000 and SECOND, to the payment of unpaid drawings
under Letters of Credit; PROVIDED, that such prepayments shall not reduce the
Revolving Credit Commitments; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if such prepayment would
result in breakage costs under Section 4.13(c), the Borrower may at its option
deposit the amount of prepayment that would result in such costs in a cash
collateral account with the General Administrative Agent to be applied to the
Loans in question at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
(d) Borrower shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its
Subsidiary SK Europe Inc. to consummate the pending sale of the remaining equity
interest in Safety-Kleen (Europe) Limited, and upon receipt of the net cash
proceeds of sale ("EUROPEAN PROCEEDS"), regardless of when consummated, such
proceeds shall be added to the amounts already received from the sale of

amounts distributed under this clause (ii) shall be drawn first
from the Rosemount Proceeds and last from the European Proceeds;

(g) The General Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower
Notification Period, the Collateral Agent shall be, and hereby is, irrevocably
authorized, to debit the Concentration Account in the amount of any prepayment
that becomes due.
28
(h) At any time, the Underwriters jointly may deliver to the
Borrower a written notice specifying a Borrower Notification Date.
(i) Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to (A)
maintain, at its expense, its existing bank accounts as Blocked Accounts, (B)

all other Proceeds of Collateral into such Blocked Accounts in the identical
form in which such payments are received, whether by cash, check or other manner
and (C) during the Borrower Notification Period, transfer, or cause to be
transferred, at its own expense, on a daily basis, by wire transfer or other
immediately effective means, all available funds in the Concentration Account to

Agent may apply on a daily basis all amounts in the Payment Account or otherwise
received from the Borrower to the Obligations in such order as the Collateral
Agent may determine, and may charge all principal, interest, fees, costs,
expenses and other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents directly to the Payment Account or Disbursement Account in such order
and manner as it may determine.
4.4 CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION OPTIONS. (a) The Borrower may
elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans, by giving the
General Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower Notification Period, the
Collateral Agent at least two Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such
election; PROVIDED that any such conversion of LIBOR Loans may only be made on
the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect
from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans by giving the
General Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower Notification Period, the
Collateral Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such
election. Any such notice of conversion to LIBOR Loans shall specify the length
of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any
such notice the General Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected
Lender thereof unless the provisions of subsections 2.5, 4.3(h) and (i) and
4.9(e) and (f) are in effect, in which case such provisions shall govern. All or
any part of outstanding LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans may be converted as
provided herein, PROVIDED that (i) no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a
LIBOR Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
General Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower Notification Period, the
Collateral Agent has determined in its sole discretion that such a conversion is
not appropriate and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan after the
date that is one month prior to the Termination Date.
(b) Any LIBOR Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration
of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving
notice to the General Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower Notification
Period, the Collateral Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the term "Interest Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next
Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, PROVIDED that no LIBOR Loan may
be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the General Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower
Notification Period, the Collateral Agent has determined in its sole discretion
that such a continuation is not appropriate or (ii) after the date that is one
month prior to the Termination Date and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if the Borrower
shall fail to give such notice or if such continuation is not permitted such
Loans shall be
29
automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring
Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the General Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof unless the provisions of
subsections 2.5, 4.3(h) and (i) and 4.9(e) and (f) are in effect, in which case
such provisions shall govern.
4.5 MINIMUM AMOUNTS OF TRANCHES. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of
LIBOR Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be
in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving
effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the LIBOR Loans comprising
each Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof.
4.6 INTEREST RATES AND PAYMENT DATES. (a) Each LIBOR Loan shall
bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a
rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate determined for such day plus the
Applicable Margin.
(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) If all or a portion of (i) any principal of any Loan, (ii)
any interest payable thereon, (iii) any commitment fee, (iv) any Reimbursement
Obligation or (v) any Letter of Credit fee or commission or other amount payable
hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), the principal of the Loans, the Reimbursement
Obligations and any such overdue interest, fee or other amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum which is the rate that would otherwise be
applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection PLUS
3%.
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date, PROVIDED that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section
4.6 shall be payable from time to time on demand.
4.7 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. (a) Whenever it is
calculated on the basis of the Base Rate, interest shall be calculated on the
basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days
elapsed; and whenever it is calculated on the basis of the LIBOR Rate, interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.
The General Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the
Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate. Any change in
the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the
Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of
business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The General
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in the Base
Rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the General
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the
absence of manifest error.
30
(c) For purposes of calculating interest on the Loans, funds
received in the Payment Account shall be applied (conditional upon final
collection) when the Collateral Agent is advised by the bank where the Payment
Account is maintained of its receipt of "collected funds" if such advice is
received before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of receipt and
otherwise on the next Business Day. For purposes of calculating the aggregate
Available Revolving Credit Commitments, funds received in the Payment Account
will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Loans on the Business
Day of receipt when the Collateral Agent is advised by the bank where the
Payment Account is maintained of its receipt of "collected funds" if such advice
is received before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date and otherwise on
the next Business Day.
4.8 INABILITY TO DETERMINE INTEREST RATE. If prior to the first
day of any Interest Period:
(a) the General Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that,
by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such
Interest Period, or
(b) the General Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such
Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such
Interest Period,
the General Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice
thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable
thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on
the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any
Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period
to LIBOR Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding
LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to
Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the General
Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such,
nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to LIBOR Loans.
4.9 PRO RATA TREATMENT AND PAYMENTS. (a) Except as provided in
subsection 2.5, each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder shall
be made PRO RATA according to their respective Revolving Credit Percentages.
Each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee, facility fee and
letter of credit commission and any reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be made PRO RATA according to their respective Revolving
Credit Percentages.
(b) Except as provided in subsection 4.3(i), each payment
(including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the
Revolving Credit Loans shall be made PRO RATA according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the
Lenders.
31
(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the
Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise
shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00
Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the General Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the General Administrative Agent's
office specified in Section 11.2 (unless the provisions of subsections 4.3(h)
and (i) are in effect, in which case such provisions shall govern) in Dollars
and in immediately available funds. The General Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as
received (unless the provisions of subsections 2.5, 4.3(h) and (i) and 4.9(e)
and (f) are in effect, in which case such provisions shall govern). If any
payment by the Borrower hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Loans)
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a LIBOR Loan
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such
extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which
event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In
the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding
two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension.
(d) Unless the General Administrative Agent shall have been
notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing Date that such Lender
will not make available to the General Administrative Agent the amount that
would constitute its share of the Loans to be disbursed to the Borrower on the
such Borrowing Date, the General Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the General Administrative Agent, and
the General Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made
available to the General Administrative Agent by the required time on the
Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the General Administrative
Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily
average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such
amount immediately available to the General Administrative Agent. A certificate
of the General Administrative Agent, submitted to any Lender with respect to any
amounts owing under this Section 4.9(d) shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. If such Lender's share of such amount is not made available to
the General Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of
such Borrowing Date, the General Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to
recover such amount from the Borrower on demand with interest thereon at the
rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans. At any time that the provisions in
subsections 2.5(e) and 4.9(e) and (f) are in effect, references in this
paragraph to the General Administrative Agent shall be deemed references to the
Collateral Agent.
(e) With respect to each Interest Settlement Period, on the last
Business Day of such Interest Settlement Period, the Collateral Agent shall
notify each Lender of the average daily unpaid principal amount of Loans that
are the subject of such Interest Settlement Period. In the event that such
amount is greater than the average daily unpaid principal amount of such Loans
outstanding during the immediately preceding Interest Settlement Period for such
Loans (or if such Interest Settlement Period is the initial Interest Settlement
Period for such Loans, greater than the principal amount of such Loans on the
Business Day prior to the Borrower Notification Date), each Lender shall
promptly pay to the Collateral Agent its Revolving Credit Percentage of such
difference, together with interest on the amount of such difference at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for such Interest Settlement Period. In the event
that such amount is less than the average daily unpaid principal amount of such
Loans during the immediately preceding Interest Settlement Period (or if such
Interest Settlement Period is the initial Interest Settlement Period for such
Loans, less than the principal amount of Loans on the Business Day prior to the
Borrower Notification
32
Date), the Collateral Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender its Revolving
Credit Percentage of such difference, together with interest on the amount of
such difference at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such Interest Settlement
Period. The obligations of each Lender under this subsection 4.9(e) shall be
absolute and unconditional without defense, setoff or counterclaim. Each Lender
shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Revolving Credit Percentage of
the Loans that have been funded by such Lender.
(f) With respect to each Principal Settlement Period, on the last
day of such Principal Settlement Period, the Collateral Agent shall notify each
Lender of the principal amount of Loans outstanding at the end of such Principal
Settlement Period. In the event that such amount is greater than the principal
amount of Loans outstanding at the end of the immediately preceding Principal
Settlement Period (or if such Principal Settlement Period is the initial
Principal Settlement Period, greater than the principal amount of Loans on the
Business Day prior to the Borrower Notification Date), each Lender shall
promptly pay to the Collateral Agent its Revolving Credit Percentage of such
difference. In the event that such amount is less than the principal amount of
Loans outstanding at the end of the immediately preceding Principal Settlement
Period (or if such Principal Settlement Period is the initial Principal
Settlement Period, less than the principal amount of Loans on the Business Day
prior to the Borrower Notification Date), the Collateral Agent shall promptly
pay to each Lender its Revolving Credit Percentage of such difference. In
addition, if the General Administrative Agent shall request at any time when a
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or any other event
shall have occurred as a result of which the General Administrative Agent shall
have determined that it is desirable for the Lenders to present their claims
against the Borrower for repayment, each Lender shall promptly remit to the
Collateral Agent or, as the case may be, the Collateral Agent shall promptly
remit to each Lender sufficient funds to adjust the interests of each Lender in
the then outstanding Loans such that each Lender's interest in the Loans then
outstanding is equal to its Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. The obligations
of each Lender under this subsection 4.9 shall be absolute and unconditional
without defense, setoff or counterclaim.
4.10 ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if
the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation
or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain
LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) the commitment of such Lender
hereunder to make LIBOR Loans, continue LIBOR Loans as such and convert Base
Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (ii) such Lender's
Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically
to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest
Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by
law. If any such conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the
last day of the then current Interest Period with respect
33
thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be
required pursuant to Section 4.13.
4.11 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW. (a) If the adoption of or any change in
any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application THEREOF or
compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law, but with which similarly-situated entities generally comply)
from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the
date hereof:
(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Loan
made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender
in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section
4.12 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such
Lender);
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held
by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances,
loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of
funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in
the determination of the LIBOR Rate; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition, the cost
of which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR
Rate;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender,
by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of
Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then,
in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such
increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or
any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law, but with which
similarly-situated entities generally comply) from any Governmental Authority
made subsequent to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto shall have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's
capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such
corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
such Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly
pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender on an after-tax basis for such reduction.
34
(c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional
amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a
copy to the General Administrative Agent of the event by reason of which it has
become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant
to this Section submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the
General Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement, the payment of the Loans, and all other amounts payable hereunder.
4.12 TAXES. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this
Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or
other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings,
now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed
in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the General Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection
between the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or such Lender and
the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any
such connection arising solely from the General Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees deductions or withholdings ("NON-EXCLUDED TAXES") are required to be
withheld from any amounts payable to the General Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent, or any Lender hereunder or under any Note, the amounts so
payable to the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or such Lender
shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the General
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the
rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any
Lender if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of
this Section. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as
promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the General
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent for its own account or for the account
of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official
receipt or other documentary evidence received by such Borrower showing payment
thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the applicable Administrative
Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower
shall indemnify the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the
Lenders for any incremental Non-Excluded Taxes or interest or penalties thereon
that may become payable by the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or
any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection
shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Loans, and
all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the
United States of America or a state thereof shall:
(i) in the case of a Lender other than a Lender described in
subsection 4.12(b)(ii);
35
(A) deliver to the Borrower and the General Administrative Agent
(A) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue
Service Form 1001 or 4224, or successor applicable form, as the case
may be, and (B) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, or
successor applicable form, as the case may be;
(B) deliver to the Borrower and the General Administrative Agent
two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the
date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete
and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and
(C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such
forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower
or the General Administrative Agent; and
(D) file amendments to such forms as and when required; and
(ii) in the case of a Lender that is not a "bank" under Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and that is legally unable to comply with the
requirements of subsection 4.12(b)(i);
(A) at least five Business Days before the date of the initial
payment to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement to such
Lender, deliver to the Borrower and the General Administrative Agent
(I) a statement that such Lender (x) is not a "bank" under Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal
requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated
as a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or
submission made to any Governmental Authority, any application made to
a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from tax,
securities law or other legal requirements, (y) is not a 10-percent
shareholder within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and
(z) is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a
related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code
and (II) a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 or applicable successor form; and
(B) deliver to the Borrower and the General Administrative Agent
two further properly completed and duly executed copies of said Form
W-8, or any successor applicable form at least five Business Days on
or before the date that any such Form W-8 expires or becomes obsolete
or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower or upon the
request of the Borrower or the General Administrative Agent; and
36
(C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such
forms or certifications as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower
and the General Administrative Agent; and
(D) file amendments to such forms as and when required;
unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable
or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such
form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the General
Administrative Agent. Such Lender shall certify (i) in the case of a Form 1001
or 4224, that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (ii) in
the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from United
States backup withholding tax. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a
Participant pursuant to Section 11.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the
related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements
required pursuant to this subsection, provided that in the case of a Participant
such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the
Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.
4.13 INDEMNITY. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and
to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may
sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a
borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after the Borrower
has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after such
Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not
the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification
may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted
or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure
to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in
the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that
would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable
rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the
Applicable Margin included therein, if any) OVER (ii) the amount of interest (as
reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on
such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with
leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
4.14 CHANGE OF LENDING OFFICE; REPLACEMENT LENDER. Each Lender
agrees that if it makes any demand for payment under Section 4.11 or 4.12(a), or
if any adoption or change of the type described in Section 4.10 shall occur with
respect to it, (i) it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal
policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would
not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to designate
a different
37
lending office if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the
need for the Borrower to make payments under Section 4.11 or 4.12(a), or would
eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in Section
4.10; PROVIDED, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole
judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer
no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and (ii) such Lender may be
replaced involuntarily through an amendment approved by the Required Lenders,
the General Administrative Agent and the Borrower and upon payment in full of
all amounts owed to such Lender, PROVIDED, that nothing in this Section 4.14
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of
any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11 or 4.12(a).
SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
enter into this Agreement and to make the Extensions of Credit hereunder, the
Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the General Administrative Agent and
each Lender that:
5.1 ACCURACY OF INFORMATION, ETC. Except for financial statements
concerning dates or periods ended before March, 2000, no statement or written
information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
document, certificate or written statement furnished to the General
Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan
Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement,
information, document or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained herein or therein not misleading. Except for financial
statements concerning dates or periods ended before March, 2000, the projections
and PRO FORMA financial information contained in the materials referenced above
are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of
such Loan Party to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the
Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to
be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered
by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth
therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been
expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other
documents, certificates and statements furnished to the General Administrative
Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents.
5.2 NO CHANGE. Since the Petition Date there has been no
development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect
5.3 CORPORATE EXISTENCE; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Each Loan Party (a)
except as otherwise set forth in the legal opinion of general counsel to the
Borrower, is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) subject to applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code requiring Bankruptcy Court approval, has the
corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its
property, to
38
lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it
is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good
standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or
operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification
except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of
Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.4 CORPORATE POWER; AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATIONS. Upon
entry of the Interim Order, each Loan Party shall have the corporate power and
authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents
to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow and obtain
letters of credit hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to
authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Orders and any Notes and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
the Loan Documents to which it is a party. No consent or authorization of,
filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental
Authority (other than entry of the Orders) or any other Person is required in
connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents. This Agreement
has been, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party will be, duly
executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party which is a party thereto.
Upon entry of the Interim Order, this Agreement will constitute, and each other
Loan Document to which it is a party when executed and delivered will
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Loan Party which is a
party thereto enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms
and the Orders.
5.5 NO LEGAL BAR. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and
the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law
applicable to any Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues
pursuant to any such Requirement of Law (other than the Liens created by the
Security Documents and the Orders).
5.6 NO MATERIAL LITIGATION. Except for the Cases or as set forth
in Schedule 5.6, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan
Party, threatened by or against any Loan Party or against any of its properties
or revenues (i) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.7 NO DEFAULT. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any
respect which could have a Material Adverse Effect during the Cases. No Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
5.8 OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY; LIENS. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid
leasehold interest in, all its real
39
property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other
property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as set forth
in Schedule 5.8 or otherwise permitted hereunder.
5.9 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed
to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and
processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted (the
"INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY"). Except as set forth in Schedule 5.9, no claim has been
asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any
such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such
Intellectual Property, nor does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any
such claim. The use of such Intellectual Property by each Loan Party does not
infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements
that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. An adverse determination of any or all of the matters set forth
on Schedule 5.9 could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
5.10 NO BURDENSOME RESTRICTIONS. No Requirement of Law or
Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.11 TAXES. Each Loan Party has filed or caused to be filed all
tax returns which, to the knowledge of such Loan Party, are required to be filed
and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any
assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or
other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority
(other than any taxes, fees or other charges, the amount or validity of which
are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the
books of such Loan Party except, with respect to the performance by the Loan
Parties of the foregoing requirements where such performance is subject to the
automatic stay); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of such Loan
Party, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other
charge.
5.12 FEDERAL REGULATIONS. No part of the proceeds of any Loans
will be used in violation of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.
5.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated
funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section
302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on
which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and
each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions
of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred,
and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year
period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer
Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the
last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is
made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to
such accrued benefits. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity
has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and
neither the Borrower
40
nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under
ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw
completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely
preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such
Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. The present value
(determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in
respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating) of the
liability of the Borrower and each Commonly Controlled Entity for post
retirement benefits to be provided to their current and former employees under
Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) does
not, in the aggregate, exceed the assets under all such Plans allocable to such
benefits by an amount in excess of $2,000,000.
5.14 INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT; OThER REGULATIONS. No Loan Party is
an "investment company," or a company "controlled" by an "investment company,"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan
Party is subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation
(other than Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.
5.15 AFFILIATES. Schedule 5.15 sets forth a complete list of the
Canadian Subsidiaries and other Affiliates of the Borrower on the Closing Date.
5.16 PURPOSE OF LOANS. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to
pay expenses in the Cases, including professional fees approved by the
Bankruptcy Court, finance the ongoing working capital needs of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and capital expenditures in
accordance with the terms hereof and of the Budget, to pay interest, fees and
other expenses hereunder, to repay the Elgin Loan Obligations and to fund the
adequate protection payments as provided in the Orders.
5.17 ENVIRONMENTAL Matters.
Other than exceptions to any of the following that could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to give rise to a Material Adverse
Effect and except as set forth on Schedule 5.17:
(a) Each Loan Party (i) is, and within the period of all applicable
statutes of limitation has been, in compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws; (ii) holds all Environmental Permits (each of which is
in full force and effect) required for any of their current or intended
operations or for any property owned, leased, or otherwise operated by any
of them; (iii) is, and within the period of all applicable statutes of
limitation has been, in compliance with all of their Environmental Permits;
and (iv) reasonably believes that: each of its Environmental Permits will
be timely renewed and complied with, without material expense; any
additional Environmental Permits that may be required of it will be timely
obtained and complied with, without material expense; and compliance with
any Environmental Law that is or is expected to become applicable to it
will be timely attained and maintained, without material expense.
41
(b) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported,
disposed of, emitted, discharged, or otherwise released or threatened to be
released, to or at any real property now or formerly owned, leased or
operated by any Loan Party or at any other location, which could reasonably
be expected to (i) give rise to liability of such Loan Party under any
applicable Environmental Law, (ii) interfere with the continued operations
of such Loan Party, or (iii) impair the fair saleable value of any real
property owned or leased by such Loan Party.
(c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding
(including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating
to any Environmental Law to which any Loan Party is, or to the knowledge of
such Loan Party will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the
knowledge of such Loan Party, threatened.
(d) No Loan Party has received any written request for information, or
been notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating
to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act, 42 U.S.C. xx.xx. 9601 ET SEQ., or any similar Environmental Law, or
with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern.
(e) No Loan Party has entered into or agreed to any consent decree,
order, or settlement or other agreement, nor is subject to any judgment,
decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative,
arbitral, or other forum, relating to compliance with or liability under
any Environmental Law.
(f) No Loan Party has assumed or retained, by contract or operation of
law, any liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown,
under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Materials of

appoints Toronto Dominion (Texas), Inc. as the General Administrative Agent of,
and CIT as the Collateral Agent of, such Lender under this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and in the Cases, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the
General Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and in the Cases and to
exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the
General Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent by the terms of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the General Administrative Agent nor the
Collateral Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and
no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, any Loan Document or Order or
otherwise exist against the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.
The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by it under this Agreement and the documents
associated therewith. It is
60
understood and agreed that the Issuing Lender (a) shall have all of the benefits
and immunities (i) provided to an Administrative Agent in this Section 10 with
respect to acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Lender in connection
with Letters of Credit issued by it under this Agreement and the documents
associated therewith as fully as if the term "General Administrative Agent" as
used in this Section 10 included the Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or
omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement and (b) shall have
all of the benefits of the provisions of Section 10.7 as fully as if the term
"General Administrative Agent," as used in Section 10.7, included the Issuing
Lender.
10.2 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The General Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective powers and duties under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact, may delegate any or all such powers and duties to each other
and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to
such duties. Neither the General Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent
shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys
in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
10.3 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. Neither the General Administrative
Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in
connection with any Loan Document or Order (except for its or such Person's own
gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any
of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made
by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in any Loan Document or in
any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by the General Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
under or in connection with, any Loan Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Loan Document
or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. Neither the General Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent
shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, any Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any
Loan Party or other Person.
10.4 RELIANCE BY GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE Agent AND COLLATERAL
AGENT. The General Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note,
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy,
telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by the General Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent. The General Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee
of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of
assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the
General Administrative Agent. The General Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or in the Cases unless they
61
shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders, as they
deem appropriate or shall first be indemnified by the Lenders against any and
all liability and expense which may be incurred by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The General Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in the
Cases in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all
the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
10.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULT. Neither the General Administrative Agent
nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the General
Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring
to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a "notice of default." In the event that the General
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the General Administrative Agent
shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The General Administrative Agent shall
take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; PROVIDED that unless and until the
General Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the General
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
10.6 NON-RELIANCE ON THE GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, COLLATERAL
AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. (a) Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the
General Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by
the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereinafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of any Loan Party shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the General Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the General
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Loan Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter
into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals
and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and in the Cases, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder,
neither the General Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial
or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of
62
any Loan Party which may come into the possession of the General Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Section 6.1, each Lender that has executed this Agreement shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter either sent by the General Administrative Agent or any
Loan Party to such Lender prior to the Closing Date, or required thereunder to
be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender.
10.7 INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders agree to indemnify the General
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, each in its capacity as such (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Revolving Credit
Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought, from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time
following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in any way relating
to or arising out of, the Revolving Credit Commitments, this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents, the Cases or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any
action taken or omitted by the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent
under or in connection with any of the foregoing; PROVIDED that no Lender shall
be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting solely from, respectively, the General Administrative
Agent's or Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
10.8 AGENTS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES. The
General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates
may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower as though the General Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent were not the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by
it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the
General Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the General Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the General
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in their individual capacity.
10.9 SUCCESSOR AGENT. The General Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent may resign upon 10 days' notice to the Lenders. If the General
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall resign under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent, shall succeed
to the rights, powers and duties of the General Administrative
63
Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder. Effective upon such appointment and
approval, the term "General Administrative Agent" or "Collateral Agent",
respectively, shall mean such successor agent, and such former General
Administrative Agent's or Collateral Agent's rights, powers and duties as
General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without
any other or further act or deed on the part of such former General
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement
or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring General Administrative Agent's
or Collateral Agent's resignation, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Neither this Agreement nor any other
Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or

provisions of this Section or another Section hereof expressly specifying the

the Required Lenders, the General Administrative Agent may, from time to time,
(a) with the Borrower, enter into written amendments, supplements or
modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents or the Orders for the
purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or
the Orders or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the
Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as
the Required Lenders or the General Administrative Agent, as the case may be,

supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled

payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or
increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender's Commitment,

consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) amend, modify or waive any
provision of this Section or reduce the percentage specified in the definition

the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the written consent
of all the Lenders, (iii) waive any Event of Default under Sections 9(p) or 9(q)

any provision of subsection 4.9(d) or Section 10 without the written
64

modify or waive Sections 4.9(d), (e) and (f) without the consent of the
Collateral Agent or (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3
without the written consent of the Issuing Lender. Any such waiver and any such
amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders
and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the General Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of
any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the General Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of
Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon. If the Borrower requests an amendment or waiver
that requires all Lenders' consent, and the consent of the Required Lenders is

approved by all Required Lenders, the General Administrative Agent and upon
payment in full of all amounts owing to such non-consenting Lender.

documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court) and (e) to pay, indemnify, and hold
each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the General Administrative Agent harmless
from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing
relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any
Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of the facilities or properties owned, leased or operated by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (all the foregoing in this clause (e),
collectively, the "indemnified liabilities"), PROVIDED that the Borrower shall
have no obligation hereunder to any person seeking indemnification with respect
to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such person. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to agree, not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause each
of its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for
67
contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of whatever kind or nature whatsoever, under or
related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or
otherwise against each Lender and the General Administrative Agent. The
agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
11.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS. (a)
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower,
the Lenders, the General Administrative Agent, all future holders of the
Extentions of Credit and their respective successors and assigns, except that
the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.
(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial
banking or institutional financial business and in accordance with applicable
law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants")
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such
Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest
to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other
parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain
solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the
holder of any such Loan or other interest for all purposes under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the General Administrative
Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. No Lender shall be entitled to create in favor of any
Participant, in the participation agreement pursuant to which such Participant's
participating interest shall be created or otherwise, any right to vote on,
consent to or approve any matter relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document except for those specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of the proviso to
Section 11.1. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this
Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become
due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant
shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the
right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under
this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest
were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, PROVIDED that, in
purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have
agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section
11.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.11, 4.12, and
4.13 with respect to its participation in the Revolving Credit Commitments and
the Loans and other amounts outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender;
PROVIDED that, in the case of Section 4.12, such Participant shall have complied
with the requirements of said Section and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that no Participant
shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section
than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the
amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such
Participant had no such transfer occurred.
68
(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial
banking or institutional financial business and in accordance with applicable
law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender, an Approved Fund of
any Lender, or any affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrower and
the General Administrative Agent (which in each case shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), to an additional bank, financial institution or fund (an
"ASSIGNEE") all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance,
substantially in the form of Exhibit H, executed by such Assignee, such
assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender, an
Approved Fund of any Lender, or an affiliate thereof, by the Borrower and the
General Administrative Agent) and delivered to the General Administrative Agent
for its acceptance and recording in the Register, PROVIDED that no such
assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender, any Approved Fund of any
Lender, or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
less than $5,000,000 and, PROVIDED, further, that the assigning Lender shall
retain a Commitment, after giving effect to such assignment, not less than
$5,000,000, (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender's
interests under this Agreement) in each case unless otherwise agreed by the
Borrower and the General Administrative Agent. Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth
therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided
in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the
remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph (c) and paragraph (e) of this
Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required, and, unless
requested by the Assignee and/or the assigning Lender, new Notes shall not be
required to be executed and delivered by the Borrower, for any assignment which
occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.
(d) The General Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower,
shall maintain at the address of the General Administrative Agent referred to in
Section 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a
register (the "REGISTER") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts of the
Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the General
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other
obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation
hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of
any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be
effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the
Register.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not
then a Lender, an Approved Fund of any Lender, or an affiliate thereof, by the
Borrower and the General Administrative
69
Agent) together with payment to the General Administrative of a registration and
processing fee of $3,500, the General Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly
accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined
pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and
give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.
(f) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any
Participant or Assignee (each, a "TRANSFEREE") and any prospective Transferee,
subject to the provisions of Section 11.15, any and all financial information in
such Lender's possession concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender
by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender's credit
evaluation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to becoming
a party to this Agreement.
(g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement
acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection concerning assignments of
Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do
not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without
limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.
11.7 ADJUSTMENTS; SET-OFF. (a) Except as provided in subsection
4.3(i), if any Lender (a "BENEFITTED Lender") shall at any time receive any
payment of all or part of its Extensions of Credit, or interest thereon, or
receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
by set-off or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender's Extensions of Credit, or interest thereon such benefitted Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of each such other Lender's Extensions of Credit, or shall provide such
other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof,
as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess
payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the
Lenders (to the extent required by the foregoing clause (i)) PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the
purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest. The General Administrative Agent shall use its best efforts to
provide calculations and documentation needed to effect such participations and
to arrange a simultaneous closing of such participations.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the
Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch,
70
agency or Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower.
Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the General
Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender,
PROVIDED that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection
11.7, no Lender shall institute any proceeding to collect any amounts owed
hereunder or exercise any remedies (including setoff) with respect to the
amounts owed to it unless such Lender shall comply with the notice procedures
and time periods applicable to the exercise of remedies contained in the Orders.
11.8 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed by one or more
of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts
(including by facsimile transmission), and all of said counterparts taken
together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the
copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the
Borrower and the General Administrative Agent.
11.9 SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement which 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 hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
11.10 INTEGRATION. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the agreement of the Borrower, the General Administrative Agent, and
the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no
promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the General
Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not
expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
11.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
11.12 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. Each party to this
Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any

71
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in
such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have

that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court
and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or
proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to such party at its address set forth in Section 11.2 or
Schedule 1.1C or at such other address of which each Administrative
Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit
the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any
right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or
proceeding referred to in this subsection any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages.
11.13 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Borrower hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(b) neither the General Administrative Agent nor any Lender has
any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of
or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, and the relationship between the General Administrative
Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand,
in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and
creditor; and
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan
Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions
contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among such Borrower and the

11.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE GENERAL
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
11.15 CONFIDENTIALITY. Each Lender agrees to keep confidential
all non-public information provided to it by the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement that is designated by the Borrower in writing as confidential;
PROVIDED that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing any such

Lender, (ii) to any Transferee which agrees to comply with the provisions of
this subsection, (iii)
72
to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other

SCHEDULE 5.17
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
PRODUCTS LIABILITY CASES
From time to time, one or more of the Loan Parties is named as a
defendant in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business
including proceedings wherein persons claim injury resulting from the use of the
Loan Party's parts cleaner equipment and/or cleaning products, other matters
involving personal injury and property damage claims and employment-related
claims. There are presently 48 such cases pending against the Loan Parties in
various jurisdictions (29 in California) which pose possible uninsured
liabilities for the Loan Parties.
CERCLA CASES
In the United States, CERCLA imposes financial liability on persons who
are responsible for the release of hazardous substances into the environment.
Present and past owner and operators of sites which release hazardous
substances, as well as generators and transporters of the waste material, are
jointly and severally liable for remediation costs and environmental damage.
Loan Parties have been notified that one or more of them is a potentially
responsible party in connection with approximately 50 locations in its hazardous
waste management and other businesses. The Loan Parties continually review their
status with respect to each location and the extent of their alleged
contribution to the volume of waste at the location, the available evidence
connecting the Loan Party to that location, and the numbers and financial
soundness of other potentially responsible parties at the location.
SAFETY-KLEEN (PINEWOOD), INC.
COMPLIANCE AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A Loan Party, Safety-Kleen (Pinewood), Inc. ("Pinewood"), owns and
operates a hazardous waste landfill near the Town of Pinewood in Sumter County,
South Carolina. In January 2000, the South Carolina Court of Appeals issued a
decision which if it stands, presents negative consequences with respect to
financial assurance requirements and capacity for the facility.
FINANCIAL ASSURANCE
South Carolina law requires that hazardous waste facilities provide
evidence of financial assurance for potential environmental cleanup and
restoration in form and amount to be determined by the South Carolina Department
of Health and Environmental
Control ("DHEC"). In its order granting a Part B Permit for the Facility dated
May 19, 1994, the Board of DHEC (the "Board") decided that over a ten year
period Pinewood must establish a cash funded trust (GSX Contribution Fund) in
the amount of $133 million, adjusted for inflation, as financial assurance for
potential environment cleanup and restoration. In August 1994, Pinewood paid
approximately $14 million cash into the GSX Contribution Fund as a first
installment. The ash funded trust now stands at approximately $19 million.
Pinewood appealed to the South Carolina Circuit Court contesting the legality of
the Board's determination.
Thereafter, DHEC promulgated, and in June 1995 the South Carolina
Legislature approved, regulations governing financial assurance for
environmental cleanup and restoration giving owner/operators of hazardous waste
facilities the right to choose form among six options for providing financial
assurance. The options include insurance, a bond, a letter of credit, a cash
trust fund and a corporate guaranty with a financial test.
Under authority of the new regulations, Pinewood currently provides
financial assurance for potential environmental cleanup and restoration composed
of a combination of the existing State Permitted Sites Fund (this is a state of
South Carolina fund created by statute and funded by hazardous waste disposal
taxes at Pinewood) in the amount of approximately $9 million and the balance of
a total package of over $140 million by way of insurance policies. Pinewood has
left in place the GSX Contribution Fund in the amount of approximately $19
million. Parties opposing the facility appealed the validity of the regulations
to the South Carolina Circuit Court.
CAPACITY
In its May 19, 1994 Order, the DHEC Board established Pinewood's
hazardous waste capacity at 2,250 acre feet and determined that all waste
disposal (both hazardous and non-hazardous) would count against the capacity.
However, due to what the Board viewed as past confusion as to whether
non-hazardous should count against capacity at the facility, non-hazardous was
only counted prospectively (i.e. from the Board Order forward). At current
volumes, the Board Order gave the facility approximately 10 years of remaining
capacity from the date of the Order (approximately four years remaining at this
time). Pinewood and opposition parties appealed the Board determination of
capacity to the South Carolina Circuit Court.
COURT DECISIONS
A decision was issued by the Circuit Court on August 19, 1997 holding:
1. The regulations legally valid and applicable to financial assurance
requirements of the Pinewood landfill; and
2. Upholding the Board's decision as to capacity.
Pinewood and opposing parties appealed the decision to the South Carolina Court
of Appeals.
On January 17, 2000, the Court of Appeals issued its decision
declaring:
1. The regulations invalid due to insufficient public notice during the
promulgation procedure and ordering Pinewood to immediately comply
with the cash financial assurance requirements of the May 19, 1994
DHEC Board Order (this would require a present cash payment of
approximately $70 million).
2. That non-hazardous and hazardous waste counts against Pinewood
capacity from the beginning of waste disposal. The practical effect of
the decision would render Pinewood at 500 acre feet over its permitted
capacity at this time, notwithstanding the fact that under the DHEC
Board Order, Pinewood was prohibited from seeking additional capacity
until it was within three years of exhaustion of presently permitted
capacity, (Pinewood had at least four years remaining capacity at the
time of the decision).
On May 4, 2000, Pinewood petitioned the South Carolina Supreme Court
for a writ of certiorari from the state Court of Appeals decision.
On June 9, 2000 (on the same day but after Pinewood filed its petition
for bankruptcy protection in the United States District Court for the District
of Delaware), DHEC issued an Emergency Order finding that Frontier Insurance
Company - which is the issuer of bonds used to provide for Pinewood's closure
cost, post-closure cost, and third party liability financial assurance - no
longer meets regulatory standards for bond issuers. Based on this finding, DHEC
ordered that Pinewood cease accepting waste for disposal by August 28, 2000,
unless it could provide acceptable alternative financial assurance by June 27,
2000.
On June 13, 2000, the South Carolina Supreme Court denied Pinewood's
petition for a writ of certiorari and the decision of the Court of Appeals
became final.
On June 14, 2000, DHEC sent notice by letter to the Pinewood Facility
directing that Pinewood cease accepting waste for disposal in 30 days - by July
14, 2000 - and submit a closure plan. DHEC based this directive on the
then-final decision of the Court of Appeals that all non-hazardous waste
disposed at Pinewood should be counted against Pinewood's hazardous waste
capacity limit and DHEC's resulting conclusion that there is no remaining
permitted capacity at Pinewood.
On June 22, 2000, DHEC sent notice by letter to Pinewood that under the
Court of Appeals decision, financial assurance regulations for cleanup and/or
environmental impairment restoration at hazardous waste treatment, storage, and
disposal facilities were vacated and, therefore, this financial assurance for
Pinewood must be provided in
accordance with the DHEC Board Order dated May 19, 1994. The June 22, 2000
letter further directed that within 15 days Pinewood provide DHEC with
information on how Pinewood would comply with the May 19, 1994 DHEC Board Order
including payment into the GSX Contribution Fund. As of May 31, 2000, the GSX
Contribution Fund contained $18,748,552.05, which means that under the June 22,
2000 DHEC letter Pinewood would be required to currently pay approximately $68
million into the GSX Contribution Fund, as well as make payments of
approximately $14 million each year for the next four years to reach the full
funding requirement.
On July 7, 2000, Pinewood filed a legal action in the United States
District for the District of Delaware against the State of South Carolina, DHEC,
DHEC Board Chairman (Bradford W. Wyche) and DHEC Commissioner (Douglas Bryant)
under the caption: In Re: Safety-Kleen Corp., et al., Debtor-Chapter 11 Cases,
Case No. 00-2303 Jointly Administered - Adversary Proceeding No. A-00-698, C.A.
No. 00-637. In this action Pinewood seeks to stay and/or enjoin DHEC and the
State of South Carolina from enforcement of the previously-described directives
to Pinewood set forth in the June 9, 2000 DHEC Emergency Order, the June 14,
2000 DHEC letter to Pinewood, and the June 22, 2000 DHEC letter to Pinewood upon
the grounds that the actions of DHEC are invalid under various provisions of the
United States Constitution and/or violate the automatic stay provision of the
United States Bankruptcy Code and/or should be enjoined under the equitable
powers of the Bankruptcy Court. As an alternative cause of action, Pinewood
demanded that it be compensated for the taking of its property without just
compensation under provisions of the Constitutions of the United States and the
State of South Carolina.
On July 10, 2000, the United States District Court for the District of
Delaware issued an Order restraining DHEC and the State of South Carolina from
enforcing its anticipated closure of the Pinewood facility pursuant to the June
14, 2000 DHEC letter. On July 12, 2000 the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware issued an Order transferring the case to the United States
District Court for the District of South Carolina and ordering that the Order of
July 10, 2000 remain in full force and effect pending a ruling from the United
States District Court for the District of South Carolina on Pinewood's request
for a preliminary injunction against DHEC and the State of South Carolina. The
South Carolina Federal District Court will hear Pinewood's Motion for a
Preliminary Injunction on August 22, 2000.
FINANCIAL ASSURANCE
FRONTIER INSURANCE COMPANY
The Loan Parties have learned that Frontier Insurance Company was
removed from the Department of the Treasury's listing of approved sureties
(Department Circular 570) on June 1, 2000. Consequently, frontier Insurance
Company is no longer approved to issue surety bonds for closure, post closure
and third-party financial assurance. Currently, approximately 50% (approximately
$279 million in coverage) of the combined Loan Parties' financial assurance
surety bonds are with Frontier Insurance Company.
The Loan Parties are working closely with Marsh and McLennan Companies to obtain
new financial assurance surety bonds with sureties approved by the Department of
the Treasury. The Loan Parties are also working closely with the U.S. EPA and a
number of state regulatory agencies to obtain an extension of time for replacing
the Frontier coverages. It is not certain that the Loan Parties will be able to
obtain new financial assurance instruments to replace the Frontier coverages. If
the Loan Parties are unable to replace the Frontier coverages within the
allowable time frame (60 days in most cases unless an extension of time is
obtained), many of the Loan Parties may be in violation of their operating
Permits which could subject the Loan Parties to enforcement sanctions including
possible cessation of operation pending replacement of the financial assurance
coverage.

2.1 GUARANTEE (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and
severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the General
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their
respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and
complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations.
(b) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full
force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each
Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been
satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the
Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during
the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from the Borrower
Obligations.
(c) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other
guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the General
Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any
other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any
set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in
reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment
made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment
received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of
7
the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the
maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations are
paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are
terminated.
2.2 RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the
extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any
payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive
contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid
its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor's right of contribution
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of
this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of
any Guarantor to the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each
Guarantor shall remain liable to the General Administrative Agent and the
Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
2.3 NO SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor
hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the General
Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be
subrogated to any of the rights of the General Administrative Agent or any
Lender against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by the General Administrative Agent or any
Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek
or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or
any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder,
until all amounts owing to the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders by
the Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations are paid in full, no Letter
of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount
shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time
when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such

Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall,
forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the General
Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed
by such Guarantor to the General Administrative Agent, if required), to be
applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such
order as the General Administrative Agent may determine.
2.4 AMENDMENTS, ETC. WITH RESPECT TO THE BORROWER OBLIGATIONS. Each
Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further
assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower
Obligations made by the General Administrative Agent or any Lender may be
rescinded by the General Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the
Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability
of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or
guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to
time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated,
compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the General Administrative Agent
or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the General
Administrative Agent (or the
8
Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from
time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any
time held by the General Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of
the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or
released. Neither the General Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any
obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it
as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
2.5 GUARANTEE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL. Each Guarantor waives any
and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the General
Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section
2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower
Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance
upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the
Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the General
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence,
presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to
or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower
Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained
in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional
guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or
any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with
respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the General
Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim
(other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be
available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the
General Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance
whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such
Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable
or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such
Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in
any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its
rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the General Administrative
Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar
demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against
the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with
respect thereto, and any failure by the General Administrative Agent or any
Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to
collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person
or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any
such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any
other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset,
shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and
shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or
available as a matter of law, of the General Administrative Agent or any Lender
against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof "demand" shall include the
commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.6 REINSTATEMENT. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall
continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time

must otherwise be restored or returned by the General Administrative Agent or
any Lender all as though such payments had not been made.
2.7 PAYMENTS. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder
will be paid to the General Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim
in U.S. Dollars at the office of the General Administrative Agent referred to in
Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement.

Administrative Agent and delivery to the General Administrative Agent of (a) all
additional executed financing statements and other documents reasonably
requested by the General Administrative Agent to maintain the validity,
perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein and (b) if

this Agreement would become misleading.
5.7 NOTICES. Such Grantor will advise the General Administrative Agent

permitted under the Credit Agreement) on any of the Collateral which would

thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a
perfected security interest in favor of the General Administrative Agent, be
delivered to the General Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as
additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or
property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property shall be
received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is
paid or delivered to the General Administrative Agent, hold such money or
property in trust for the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security
for the Obligations.

exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the
Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction
expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to
exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect
to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein,
except for the security interests created by this Agreement or permitted by the
Credit Agreement or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the
right or ability of such Grantor or the General Administrative Agent to sell,
assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof.
(c) In the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees
that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the
Investment Property issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such
terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the General Administrative Agent
promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section
5.8(a) with respect to the Investment Property issued by it and (iii) the terms

all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or 6.5 with
respect to the Investment Property issued by it.

of the time of payment of any Receivable, (ii) compromise or settle any
Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, (iii) release, wholly or
partially, any Person liable for the payment of any Receivable, (iv) allow any

licensees) will (i) continue to use each material Trademark on each and every

determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in
any country) regarding such Grantor's ownership of, or the validity of, any
material Intellectual Property or such Grantor's right to register the same or
to own and maintain the same.
(f) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent,
employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration
of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other
country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall report such
filing to the General Administrative Agent within five Business Days after the
last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of the

Agent's and the Lenders' security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark
and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or
represented thereby.
19

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
6.1 REMEDIES; OBTAINING COLLATERAL UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to applicable
provisions of the Orders, the General Administrative Agent, in addition to any
rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law, and without application
to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, shall have all rights as a secured creditor
under the Uniform Commercial Code in all relevant jurisdictions and may:
(a) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession
of the Collateral or any part thereof, from the Borrower, any Guarantor or
any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or
without notice or process of law (but subject to any Requirements of Law),
and for that purpose may enter upon the Borrower's or any Guarantor's
premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use
in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, property
and other facilities of the Borrower or Guarantors;
(b) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreements, instrument or
other obligation constituting the Collateral to make any payment required
by the terms of such instrument or agreement directly to the Concentration
Account or Cash Collateral Account;
(c) withdraw all monies, securities and instruments in the
Concentration Account or Cash Collateral Account for application to the
Obligations and convert any monies not in United States Dollars to United
States Dollars;
(d) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Borrower or any
Guarantor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, any or all of the
Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any
such sale or liquidation;
(e) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by
directing the Borrower or any Guarantor in writing to deliver the same to
the General Administrative Agent at any place or places designated by the
General Administrative Agent, in which event the Borrower or such Guarantor
shall at its own expense:
(i)(A) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or
places so designated by the General Administrative Agent and there
delivered to the General Administrative Agent;
(B)(ii) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the General
Administrative Agent at such place or places pending further action by
the General Administrative Agent as provided in Section 6.2; and
21
(C)(iii) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept,
provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to
protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition;
it being understood that the Borrower's or any Guarantor's obligation so to
deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that,
accordingly, upon application to the Bankruptcy Court, the General
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific
performance by the Borrower or any Guarantor of such obligation.
6.2 REMEDIES; DISPOSITION OF THE COLLATERAL. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, and subject to applicable
provisions of the Orders, without application to or order of the Bankruptcy
Court, any Collateral repossessed by the General Administrative Agent under or
pursuant to Section 6.1 or the Orders or otherwise, and any other Collateral
whether or not so repossessed by the General Administrative Agent, may be sold,
assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an
entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the
property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at
such place or places and on such terms as the General Administrative Agent may,
in compliance with any Requirements of Law, determine to be commercially
reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of,
in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the General
Administrative Agent or after any overhaul or repair which the General
Administrative Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such
disposition which shall be a private sale or other private proceeding permitted
by applicable Requirements of Law shall be made upon not less than 10 days'
written notice to the Grantors specifying the time at which such disposition is
to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and
shall be subject, for the 10 days after the giving of such notice, to the right
of the Grantors or any nominee thereof to acquire the Collateral involved at a
price or for such other consideration at least equal to the intended sale price
or other consideration so specified. Any such disposition which shall be a
public sale permitted by applicable Requirements of Law shall be made upon not
less than 10 days' written notice to the Grantors specifying the time and place
of such sale and, in the absence of applicable Requirement of Law, shall be by
public auction (which may, at the General Administrative Agent's option, be
subject to reserve), after publication of notice of such auction not less than
10 days prior thereto in two newspapers of national circulation. The General
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may bid for and become the
purchaser of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance
with this Section without accountability to the Grantors (except to the extent
of surplus money received). If, under mandatory Requirements of Law, the General
Administrative Agent shall be required to make disposition of the Collateral
within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the
Borrower or Guarantors as hereinabove specified, the General Administrative
Agent need give the Borrower and Guarantors only such notice of disposition as
shall be reasonably practicable.
6.3 PLEDGED STOCK. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and the General Administrative Agent shall have given notice
to the relevant Grantor of the General Administrative Agent's intent to exercise
its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be
permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the
22
Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each
case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent
with past practice, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to
exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to
the Investment Property; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no vote shall be cast or
corporate or other organizational right exercised or other action taken which,
in the General Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment, would impair the
Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any
provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the
General Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such
rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the General Administrative Agent
shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other
Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof
to the Obligations in such order as the General Administrative Agent may
determine, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in
the name of the General Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the General
Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting,
corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting
of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and
all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights,
privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the
absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at
its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in
the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the
exercise by any Grantor or the General Administrative Agent of any right,
privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection
therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment
Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other
designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the General Administrative
Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property
actually received by it, but the General Administrative Agent shall have no duty
to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any
Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any
instruction received by it from the General Administrative Agent in writing that
(x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is
otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or
further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer
shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly
permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the
Investment Property directly to the General Administrative Agent.
6.4 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) if the
General Administrative Agent takes action under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9
of the Credit Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, any payment by the Borrower or Guarantors on account of the
Obligations and any proceeds arising out of any realization (including after
23
foreclosure) upon the Collateral shall be applied, subject to the Carve-Out, as
follows: FIRST, to the payment in full of all costs and expenses (including
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) paid or
incurred by the General Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in connection
with any such realization upon the Collateral, SECOND, as a permanent reduction
of the Revolving Credit Commitments, pro rata to the payment in full of the
Revolving Credit Loans (including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and
any fees and other Obligations in respect thereof), THIRD, to the payment in
full of unreimbursed amounts paid under any Letter of Credit, FOURTH, to cash
collateralize unreimbursed amounts paid under any Letter of Credit in an amount
equal to 105% of any such amount, FIFTH, subject to the terms of the Final
Order, to the Prepetition Agent for application to the Prepetition Obligations
to the extent of any diminution in value in the Prepetition Collateral since the
Petition Date, and SIXTH, to the extent of any Proceeds of Collateral that are
also Proceeds of Prepetition Collateral, to the payment in full of the
Prepetition Obligations, and (ii) any payments or distributions of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, made by the Grantors or
otherwise in a manner inconsistent with clause (i) of this Section 6.4(a) shall
be held in trust and paid over or delivered to the General Administrative Agent
so that the priorities and requirements set forth in such clause (i) are
satisfied.
(b) It is understood that the Borrower and the Guarantors shall remain
jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount
of the proceeds of the Collateral and the amount of the Obligations.
6.5 REGISTRATION. (a) If the General Administrative Agent shall
determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant
to Section 6.1, and if in the opinion of the General Administrative Agent it is
necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be
sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant
Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the
directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may
be, in the opinion of the General Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable
to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the
provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the
registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain
effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of
the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all
amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the
General Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to
cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky"
laws of any and all jurisdictions which the General Administrative Agent shall
designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable,
an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the General Administrative Agent may
be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to
24
resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers
which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities
for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale
may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a
public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner. The General Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a
sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the
Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities
Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree
to do so.
(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all
or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.5 valid and
binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law.
Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in
this Section 6.5 will cause irreparable injury to the General Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, that the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders
have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence,
that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.5 shall be specifically
enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not
to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such
covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7. THE GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
7.1 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT, ETC. (a)
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the General
Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of
such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and
all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish
the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the General Administrative Agent the power
and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such
Grantor, to do any or all of the following:
(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take
possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes,
acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any
Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or
take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or
otherwise deemed appropriate by the General Administrative Agent for the
purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or
with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
25
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver,
and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and
papers as the General Administrative Agent may request to evidence the
General Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' security interest in such
Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such
Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance
called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the
premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.1
or 6.2, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or
transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the
Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due
thereunder directly to the General Administrative Agent or as the General
Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and
receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other
amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of
any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express
bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against
debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in
connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any
suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent
jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to
enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit,
action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any
Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or
proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases
as the General Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any
Intellectual Property (along with the goodwill of the business to which any
such Intellectual Property pertains), throughout the world for such term or
terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the General
Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8)
generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though
the General Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes, and do, at the General Administrative Agent's option and such
Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things
which the General Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve
or realize upon the Collateral and the General Administrative Agent's and
the Lenders' security interests therein and to effect the intent of this
Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the
General Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under
the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
26
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements contained herein, the General Administrative Agent, at its option,
but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause
performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) The expenses of the General Administrative Agent incurred in
connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together
with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at
which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Credit Loans that are
Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the
General Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor,
shall be payable by such Grantor to the General Administrative Agent on demand.
(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and
agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are
irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released.
7.2 DUTY OF GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE. The General Administrative Agent's
sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of
the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the General
Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither
the General Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or
shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral
upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action
whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers
conferred on the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are
solely to protect the General Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' interests
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the General Administrative
Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers. The General Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually
receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of
their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any
Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
7.3 EXECUTION OF FINANCING STATEMENTS. Pursuant to Section 9-402 of
the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the
General Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to file or record
financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with
respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and
in such offices as the General Administrative Agent determines reasonably
appropriate to perfect the security interests of the General Administrative
Agent under this Agreement. A photographic or other reproduction of this
Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or
recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
7.4 AUTHORITY OF GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Each Grantor
acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the General Administrative
Agent under this Agreement with
27
respect to any action taken by the General Administrative Agent or the exercise
or non-exercise by the General Administrative Agent of any option, voting right,
request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or
arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the General Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other
agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but,
as between the General Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the General
Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for
the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and
no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry
respecting such authority.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 AMENDMENTS IN WRITING. None of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in
accordance with Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement.
8.2 NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the General
Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner
provided for in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement.
8.3 NO WAIVER BY COURSE OF CONDUCT; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Neither the
General Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a
written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have
acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any
delay in exercising, on the part of the General Administrative Agent or any
Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the General Administrative
Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the General
Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.
The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly
or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided
by law.
8.4 ENFORCEMENT EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Each Guarantor agrees
to pay or reimburse the General Administrative Agent for all its costs and
expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee
contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party,
including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to the
General Administrative Agent.
(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the General
Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities with
respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise,
sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to
28
be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the General
Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this
Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to
Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the
Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
8.5 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the
General Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns;
PROVIDED that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
General Administrative Agent.
8.6 SET-OFF. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the General
Administrative Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time while an
Event of Default pursuant to Section 9(a) of the Credit Agreement shall have
occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor,
any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and
appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the General
Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of such
Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the General Administrative Agent
or such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and
liabilities of such Grantor to the General Administrative Agent or such Lender
hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the General
Administrative Agent or such Lender against such Grantor, in any currency,
whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document
or otherwise, as the General Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect,
whether or not the General Administrative Agent or any Lender has made any
demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be
contingent or unmatured. The General Administrative Agent and each Lender shall
notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the
General Administrative Agent or such Lender of the proceeds thereof, PROVIDED
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. The rights of the General Administrative Agent and each
Lender under this Section 8.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the General
Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.
8.7 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by
telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument.
29
8.8 SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement which 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 hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
8.9 SECTION HEADINGS. The Section headings used in this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof
or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
8.10 INTEGRATION. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the agreement of the Grantors, the General Administrative Agent and
the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are
no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the General
Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof and thereof
not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
8.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
8.12 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in
respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court and, if the Bankruptcy Court does not have or abstains
from jurisdiction, the courts of the United States of America for the
Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such
courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such
action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to
plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding
may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail
(or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such
Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address
of which the General Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant
thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the
right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and
30
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it
may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to
in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
8.13 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a
party;
(b) neither the General Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any
fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the
relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the General
Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith
or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents
or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among
the Lenders or among the Grantors and the Lenders.
8.14 ABSENCE OF PREJUDICE WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS BEFORE THE
BANKRUPTCY COURT. The Borrower and the Guarantors acknowledge that the
Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules require them to seek Bankruptcy Court
authorization for certain matters that may also be addressed in this Agreement.
Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantors will mention in any pleading or argument
before the Bankruptcy Court in support of, or in any way relating to, a position
that Bankruptcy Court authorization should be granted on the ground that such
authorization is permitted by this Agreement (unless a Person opposing any such
pleading or argument relies on this Agreement to assert or question the
propriety of such).
8.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the
date first above written.

aggregate of $40,000,000, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Loan Documents and this Order pending the Final Hearing referred to below; and
(d)
3
requesting that a final hearing (the "FINAL HEARING"; together with the
Preliminary Hearing, the "HEARINGS") be scheduled, and that notice procedures in
respect of the Final Hearing be established by this Court to consider entry of a
final order (this "ORDER") authorizing on a final basis, INTER ALIA, the
Postpetition Financing and the use of the Cash Collateral; and due and
sufficient notice of the Motion and the Hearings having been given; and the
Court having entered the Interim Order at the conclusion of the Preliminary
Hearing; and the Final Hearing on the Motion having been held before this Court
on July 19, 2000; and upon the entire record made at the Hearings, and this
Court having found good and sufficient cause appearing therefor,
IT IS HEREBY FOUND that:
A. On June 9, 2000 (the "FILING DATE"), the Debtors filed
voluntary petitions for relief with this Court under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code (the "CHAPTER 11 CASES"). The Debtors are continuing in
possession of their property, and operating and managing their businesses, as
debtors in possession pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sec. 1107 and sec. 1108.
B. This Court has jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases and
the Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C.sec. 157(b) and sec. 1334. Consideration of the
Motion constitutes a core proceeding as defined in 28 U.S.C. sec. 157(b)(2).
C. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated
as of April 3, 1998 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the
Filing Date, the "PREPETITION CREDIT AGREEMENT"), among the Company,
Safety-Kleen (Canada) Ltd. (the "CANADIAN BORROWER"), the lenders from time to
time parties thereto (the "PREPETITION LENDERS"), TD Texas, as general
administrative agent for the Prepetition Lenders (in such capacity, the
"PREPETITION AGENT"), The Toronto-Dominion Bank, as Canadian administrative
agent, TD Securities (USA) Inc. as advisor and arranger, The Bank of Nova
Scotia, Bank of America (formerly known as Nationsbank, N.A.), Bank One, N.A.,
(formerly known as The First National Bank of Chicago) and Wachovia Bank, N.A.,
as managing agents, The Bank of Nova
4
Scotia and Bank One, N.A. (formerly known as The First National Bank of
Chicago), as co-documentation agents, and Bank of America (formerly known as
Nationsbank, N.A.), as syndication agent, the Prepetition Lenders made loans and
other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the Debtors, in the
aggregate principal amount of US$1,557,000,000 and issued letters of credit in
the aggregate outstanding face amount of US$83,794,204.08. In addition, certain
Prepetition Lenders based in Canada extended approximately C$71,892,450.07 in
loans and letters of credit to the Canadian Borrower, guaranteed by the Debtors
and secured by the Prepetition Loan Documents. All such loans, financial
accommodations and other amounts owing under, or in connection with, the
Prepetition Credit Agreement and all collateral and ancillary documents executed
in connection therewith (collectively, the "PREPETITION LOAN DOCUMENTS"), are
hereinafter referred to as the "PREPETITION LOAN OBLIGATIONS." Finally, the
Prepetition Loan Documents secured interest rate protection agreements between
one or more of the Debtors and any of the Prepetition Lenders ("INTEREST RATE
PROTECTION AGREEMENTS").
D. Without prejudice to the rights of any other party (but
subject to the limitations thereon described below in decretal paragraph 16),
the Debtors admit that, in accordance with the terms of the Prepetition Loan
Documents and the Interest Rate Protection Agreements, the Debtors are truly and
justly indebted to the Prepetition Lenders, without defense, counterclaim or
offset of any kind, and that as of the Filing Date (i) the Company and the
Canadian Borrower was liable to the Prepetition Lenders in respect of loans made
by the Prepetition Lenders to the Company pursuant to the Prepetition Credit
Agreement in the aggregate amount of US$1,557,000,000 and C$71,892,450.07,
respectively (inclusive of interest and fees accrued and unpaid thereon), (ii)
the Company was contingently liable to the Prepetition Lenders in the aggregate
face amount of approximately US$83,794,204.08 in respect of letters of credit
issued pursuant to the Prepetition Credit Agreement and which remained
outstanding as of the Filing Date, (iii) the Company was contingently liable to
certain Prepetition Lenders in the aggregate amount of US$69,460,689 in respect
of Interest Rate Protection
5
Agreements, inclusive of interest accrued and unpaid thereon (the "SWAP
OBLIGATIONS"; together with the Prepetition Loan Obligations, the "PREPETITION
OBLIGATIONS"), (iv) the Company was liable to the Prepetition Agent and the
Prepetition Lenders for accrued and unpaid interest, commitment fees, attorneys'
and advisors' fees, other out-of-pocket expenses, costs and indemnities in an
aggregate amount of US$37,520,227.07 and C$955,041.41, respectively, and (v)
each Debtor was contingently liable to the Prepetition Lenders pursuant to its
guarantee of the Prepetition Obligations.
E. Without prejudice to the rights of any other party (but
subject to the limitations thereon described below in decretal paragraph 16),
the Debtors further admit that the Prepetition Obligations are secured by valid,
perfected, enforceable, first-priority security interests (subject only to liens
permitted under the Prepetition Loan Documents to have higher priority
("PERMITTED PRIOR LIENS")) granted by the applicable Debtor to the Prepetition
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Prepetition Lenders, upon and in
substantially all of the Company's and the other applicable Debtors' personal
property (other than vehicles) and certain real estate (the "PREPETITION REAL
ESTATE COLLATERAL") listed on Schedule 5 to the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement hereto (including the setoff rights described in the Prepetition Loan
Documents and arising by operation of law, the "PREPETITION COLLATERAL"),
including without limitation, inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, general
intangibles, stock in subsidiaries and other tangible and intangible personal
property and the proceeds thereof. The Debtors' cash constitutes proceeds of the
Prepetition Collateral and, therefore, is cash collateral of the Prepetition
Lenders within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code sec. 363(a) (the "CASH
COLLATERAL"). The Prepetition Lenders are entitled, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code
sec. 361 and sec. 363(e), to adequate protection of their interest in the
Prepetition Collateral, including for the use of the Cash Collateral, the use,
sale or lease of the Prepetition Collateral other than the Cash Collateral and
the imposition of the automatic stay.
F. The Debtors do not have sufficient available sources of
working capital and financing to operate their business in the ordinary course
of business or operate their business and maintain
6
their property in accordance with state and federal law without the Postpetition
Financing and the use of the Cash Collateral. The Debtors' ability to maintain
business relationships with their vendors, suppliers and customers, to pay more
than 10,000 employees and otherwise finance their operations, is essential to
the Debtors' continued viability. In addition, the Debtors' need for financing
is immediate. In the absence of the Postpetition Financing and the use of the
Cash Collateral, the continued operation of the Debtors' businesses would not be
possible, and serious and irreparable harm to the Debtors and their estates
would occur. The preservation, maintenance and enhancement of the going concern
value of the Debtors are of the utmost significance and importance to a
successful reorganization of the Debtors under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code.
G. Given the Debtors' current financial condition, financing
arrangements and capital structure, the Debtors cannot obtain unsecured credit
allowable under Bankruptcy Code ss. 503(b)(1) as an administrative expense.
Financing on a postpetition basis is not otherwise available without the Debtors
(i) granting, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code ss. 364(c)(1), claims having priority
over any and all administrative expenses of the kinds specified in Bankruptcy
Code sec. 503(b) and sec. 507(b), other than as described below in respect of
Chapter 5 Actions and the Carve-Out, (ii) securing, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code
sec. 364(c) and (d), such indebtedness and obligations with security interests
in and liens on all of the Debtors' personal property and Leaseholds as
described below, and (iii) providing for adequate protection of the Prepetition
Lenders' interests as described below.
H. Notice of the Final Hearing and the relief requested in the
Motion has been given to (i) the Office of the United States Trustee, (ii)
counsel to the informal steering committee of Prepetition Lenders (the "STEERING
COMMITTEE") and the Prepetition Agent, (iii) the creditors holding the 20
largest unsecured claims against each Debtor, (iv) proposed counsel to the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "COMMITTEE") appointed to the
Chapter 11 Cases and (v) any party who filed a request for
7
notices in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 prior to the
date set forth in the Interim Order for service of notice of the Final Hearing.
Such notice of the Final Hearing and the relief requested in the Motion complies
with the requirements of Bankruptcy Code sec. 102(1), sec. 364(c) and sec.
364(d) and Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 4001(c) and the notice procedures
established pursuant to the Interim Order.
I. Based on the record presented to the Court by the Debtors
at the Preliminary Hearing, the Postpetition Financing has been negotiated in
good faith by the Underwriters and at arm's length between the Debtors and the
Underwriters, and any credit extended, letters of credit issued and loans made
to the Debtors pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been
extended, issued or made, as the case may be, in good faith by the Lenders as
required by, and within the meaning of, Bankruptcy Code ss. 364(e).
J. Based on the record presented to the Court by the Debtors
at the Hearings, the terms of the Postpetition Financing appear to be fair and
reasonable, are ordinary and appropriate for secured financing to debtors in
possession, reflect the Debtors' exercise of prudent business judgment
consistent with their fiduciary duties, and are supported by reasonably
equivalent value and fair consideration.
K. The Debtors have requested immediate entry of this Order
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b)(2) and 4001(c)(2). The permission granted
herein to enter into the Postpetition Financing and obtain funds thereunder, and
to use the Cash Collateral, is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm
to the Debtors. This Court concludes that entry of this Order is in the best
interest of the Debtors' respective estates and creditors as its implementation
will, among other things, provide the Debtors with the necessary liquidity to
sustain the operation of the Debtors' businesses and enhance the Debtors'
prospects for successful reorganization.
Based upon the foregoing findings and conclusions, and upon
the record made before this Court at the Hearings, and good and sufficient cause
appearing therefor;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
8
1. The Motion is granted, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Order.
2. The Debtors are expressly authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver the Credit Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document
to be executed and delivered in connection therewith. The Company and the
Guarantors are authorized to comply with and perform all of the terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents, and the Company is directed to repay amounts
borrowed and reimbursement obligations incurred, and each Guarantor is further
directed to repay amounts guaranteed, with interest to the Lenders in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents and
this Order. The Debtors are further authorized and directed to pay all
commitment and other fees and expenses, including without limitation, all
reasonable fees and expenses of professionals engaged by the General
Administrative Agent, the Underwriters and the Steering Committee and those
reasonable fees and expenses provided for in paragraph 8 of this Order, in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the fee letter between the
General Administrative Agent and the Debtors. All loans made under the Credit
Agreement (the "LOANS") and interest thereon, together with all reimbursement
and other obligations in respect of letters of credit issued under the Credit
Agreement ("LETTERS OF CREDIT"), and all fees, costs, expenses, indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities of the Company and each Guarantor to the General
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents and this Order,
are hereinafter referred to as the "OBLIGATIONS."
3. The Company is expressly authorized to borrow from the
Lenders, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Loan
Documents and this Order, a total of US$100,000,000 (inclusive of the issuance
of up to an aggregate face amount of US$35,000,000 of Letters of Credit) under
the Credit Agreement, and the Guarantors are expressly authorized to guarantee
all Obligations in respect of such Loans and Letters of Credit. The Company is
authorized to use the proceeds of the Loans, to use the Cash Collateral and to
request the issuance of Letters of Credit in the operation of the Debtors'
9
businesses, PROVIDED, that (a) the proposed Loan, Letter of Credit or use of the
Cash Collateral is consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement and this
Order and will be used to pay when due expenses of the types set forth in the
Budget (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (b) any requested Loan is
necessary after the application of available Cash Collateral. Safety-Kleen
Systems, Inc., as borrower, and Safety-Kleen Services, Inc., as guarantor are
further expressly authorized and directed to repay in full the Elgin Loan
Obligations directly to each older of the Elgin Loan Obligations, and discharge
the Liens that secure the Elgin Loan Obligations, provided, that the amount of
such repayment in respect of Xxxxxxx, Inc.'s ratable portion of the Elgin Loan
Obligations shall be deposited by Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc., or Safety-Kleen
Services, Inc., as the case may be, into an interest-bearing account of such
Debtor and any liens that may exist in favor of Xxxxxxx, Inc. In respect of the
Elgin Loan Obligations prior to such repayment and discharge shall attach to
such deposit with the same right, priority and validity as such liens had in
respect of the Elgin Loan Collateral, and such deposit and interest thereon
shall only be released upon further order of this Court; and such deposit shall
constitute full repayment of the Elgin Loan Obligations for all purposes of the
Demand Loan Agreement, dated as of March 14, 2000. A copy of this Order shall be
served upon Xxxxxxx, Inc.
4. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
occurs and is continuing, subject to the requirement contained in the Credit
Agreement with respect to specified remedies to provide five business days'
prior written notice to the Company, the United States Trustee and the
Committee, the General Administrative Agent may terminate the Postpetition
Financing (the date of any such termination, the "TERMINATION DATE") and declare
the Loans to be due and payable, and the automatic stay pursuant to Bankruptcy
Code ss. 362(a) shall be deemed lifted and modified, without further order of
this Court, to permit the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
exercise any and all of their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and this Order. In addition, the Company's right to use
the Cash Collateral shall terminate automatically on the Termination Date or
10
on the fifth business day after the General Administrative Agent provides
written notice to the Company, the United States Trustee and the Committee of
the occurrence of an Event of Default and that such use of the Cash Collateral
shall terminate as a result thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, no Loans, Letters of Credit, Collateral, Cash Collateral or any
portion of the Carve-Out may be used to object to or contest in any manner, or
raise any defenses to, the amount, validity, perfection, priority, extent or
enforceability of the Prepetition Obligations, the Obligations or the liens
securing the Prepetition Obligations or the Obligations, or to assert any claims
or causes of action against the Prepetition Lenders, the Prepetition Agent, the
Lenders or the General Administrative Agent.
5. In accordance with Bankruptcy Code ss. 364(c)(1), subject
to Paragraph 7 below, the Obligations shall constitute claims (the
"SUPERPRIORITY CLAIMS") with priority in payment over any and all administrative
expenses of the kinds specified or ordered pursuant to any provision of the
Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, Bankruptcy Code secs. 105, 326,
328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b) and 726, and shall at all times be
senior to the rights of the Debtors, and any successor trustee or any creditor,
in the Chapter 11 Cases or any subsequent proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code.
Subject only to the Carve-Out, no cost or expense of administration under
Bankruptcy Code secs. 105, 364(c)(1), 503(b), 506(c), 507(b) or otherwise,
including those resulting from the conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases
pursuant to Bankruptcy Code ss. 1112, shall be senior to, or PARI PASSU with,
the Superpriority Claims of the Lenders arising out of the Obligations.
6. As security for the Obligations, the General Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders shall have and is hereby granted (effective
upon the date of this Order and without the necessity of the recordation of
mortgages, security agreements, pledge agreements, financing
11
statements or otherwise), valid and perfected security interests in, and liens
on (the "LIENS"), all present and after-acquired personal property and
Leaseholds and the Prepetition Real Estate Collateral of the Debtors of any
nature whatsoever (provided that the amount of the lien on the Elgin Loan
Collateral shall be limited to the sum of (i) the amount of Elgin Loan
Obligations repaid after the Filing Date and (ii) the amount of interest accrued
and paid on Loans used to repay the Elgin Loan Obligations, and shall not arise
until such Elgin Loan Obligations shall have been repaid in full), including,
without limitation, all cash contained in any account maintained by the Debtors,
accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, vehicles, furniture, intellectual
property, investment property, intercompany claims, general intangibles and the
proceeds of all causes of action (other than causes of action arising under the
Bankruptcy Code) (collectively with all proceeds and products of any or all of
the foregoing, including proceeds of sale of real property, the "Collateral"):
(a) pursuant to Bankruptcy Code ss. 364(c)(2), a first
priority, perfected Lien upon all of the Debtors' right, title and
interest in, to and under all Collateral that is not otherwise
encumbered by a validly perfected security interest or lien on the
Filing Date;
(b) pursuant to Bankruptcy Code ss. 364(d)(1), a first
priority, senior, priming, perfected Lien upon all of the Debtors'
right, title and interest in, to and under the Prepetition Collateral,
provided that the amount of Obligations secured by the Lien on the
Elgin Loan Collateral shall be limited to the sum of (i) the amount of
Elgin Loan Obligations repaid after the Filing Date and (ii) the amount
of interest accrued and paid on Loans used to repay the Elgin Loan
Obligations and shall not arise until such Elgin Loan Obligations shall
have been repaid in full); and provided further that such first
priority, senior, priming Lien shall be subject to all Permitted Prior
Liens; and
(c) pursuant to Bankruptcy Code ss. 364(c)(3), a second
priority, junior, perfected Lien upon all of the Debtors' right, title
and interest in, to and under all other Collateral which is subject to
a validly perfected security interest or lien in existence as of the
Filing Date, or a valid lien perfected (but not granted) after the
Filing Date to the extent such perfection in respect of a pre-Filing
Date claim is expressly permitted under the Bankruptcy Code.
Except to the extent expressly set forth in clause (c) of this paragraph 6 and
paragraph 7, the Liens granted pursuant to this Order and the Loan Documents to
the General Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
12
Lenders to secure the Obligations shall not be subordinated to or made PARI
PASSU with any other lien or security interest.
7. Any provision of this Order or the Credit Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Liens and Superpriority Claims granted to the
General Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement
and this Order shall be subject and subordinate to a carve-out (the "CARVE-OUT")
for (a) following the occurrence and during the pendency of a Default or an
Event of Default (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement), the
payment of allowed professional fees and disbursements incurred by the
professionals retained, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code secs. 327 or 1103(a), by
the Debtors and the Committee (and any other statutory committee appointed in
the Chapter 11 Cases) and any disbursements of any member of the Committee in an
aggregate amount not to exceed US$7,500,000 (plus professional fees and
disbursements incurred prior to such Default or Event of Default to the extent
subsequently awarded) and (b) quarterly fees required to be paid pursuant to 28
U.S.C. ss. 1930(a)(6) and any fees payable to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, (x) following the Termination Date, any amounts in the Cash
Collateral Account (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall not be subject to
the Carve-Out and (y) the Carve-Out shall not include professional fees and
disbursements incurred in connection with asserting any claims or causes of
action against the Prepetition Lenders or the Prepetition Agent and/or
challenging or raising any defense to the Prepetition Obligations, any lien of
the Prepetition Agent or the Prepetition Lenders. As long as no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company and the Guarantors
shall be permitted to pay compensation and reimbursement of expenses, allowed
and payable under Bankruptcy Code secs. 330 and sec. 331, as the same may
be payable, and the amount so paid shall not reduce the Carve-Out.
8. (a) The Debtors are hereby authorized to use the Cash
Collateral, PROVIDED that the holders of Prepetition Obligations are granted
adequate protection as hereinafter set forth.
13
(b) As adequate protection for any diminution in the value

of the execution by the Debtors of mortgages, security agreements,
pledge agreements, financing statements or otherwise), valid and
perfected, replacement security interests in, and liens on (the
"REPLACEMENT LIENS"), all of the Debtors' right, title and interest in,
to and under the Collateral, subject only to (x) the Carve-Out, (y) the
Liens granted pursuant to this Order and the Loan Documents to the

effect to this Order) to the Liens granted to the General
Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this Order and the
Loan Documents;
(ii) the Prepetition Agent for the ratable benefit of the
holders of Prepetition Obligations shall be and hereby is granted,
pursuant to Bankruptcy Code ss. 364(c)(1), Superpriority Claims, junior
only to (x) the Superpriority Claims granted pursuant to this Order to
the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of the
Obligations and (y) the Carve-Out;
(iii) on the Closing Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
and thereafter on the last business day of each month, the Debtors
shall reimburse the Prepetition Agent and the Steering Committee for
all reasonable fees, costs and charges previously or hereafter incurred
by the Prepetition Agent and the Steering Committee of Prepetition
Lenders (including without limitation, internal collateral auditing and
monitoring expenses and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket
disbursements of any financial consultants and outside counsel advising
the Prepetition Agent and the Steering Committee) in connection with
the advice, analysis, negotiation, enforcement and protection of the
claims, rights and interests of the Prepetition Agent and the
Prepetition Lenders in the Chapter 11 Cases);
(iv) to the extent the Debtors shall receive Net Cash Proceeds
(as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement) from the sale of the
Elgin Loan Collateral, in excess of the sum of (i) the amount of Elgin
Loan Obligations repaid after the Filing Date and (ii) the amount of
interest accrued and paid on Loans used to repay the Elgin Loan
Obligations, such excess Net Cash Proceeds shall be paid to the
Prepetition Agent for ratable distribution to the holders of
Prepetition Obligations; and
(v) upon receipt of the proceeds of sale of the remaining
equity interest in Safety-Kleen (Europe) Limited, regardless of when
consummated, such proceeds (the "EUROPEAN PROCEEDS")
14
shall be added to the amounts already received from the sale of assets
by Safety-Kleen (Rosemount), Inc. which are currently on deposit in the
cash collateral account established prior to the Petition Date for the
benefit of the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders (the
"PREPETITION CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT"), which combined amounts (the

shall be distributed under clause (D) below; PROVIDED
FURTHER, that amounts distributed under this clause (B)
shall be drawn first from the Rosemount Proceeds and
last from the European Proceeds;
(C) until the disbursements contemplated by

including, without limitation, fees and expenses of
counsel, forensic advisors and financial advisors, to
the Prepetition Agent and the Steering Committee,
subject to paragraph 8(d) of this Order;
(D) the balance of any Combined Proceeds (after
the disbursements provided for in clauses (A) and (B)
above or reserves therefor, and after any disbursements
which may have taken place pursuant to clause (C) above)
shall be disbursed to the Debtors.
(vi) the Debtors shall deliver to the Prepetition Agent, for
transmission to the Prepetition Lenders, all historical financial
statements delivered monthly, quarterly and annually under the Loan
Documents and all notices that refer to any material adverse
development concerning any Debtor.
(vii) As additional adequate protection for the use of cash
collateral, (i) the Debtors shall, on or before August 7, 2000, fulfill
all conditions precedent to Extensions of Credit under the Credit
Agreement, as set forth in subsections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Credit
Agreement, except (x) as may be waived in writing by the Prepetition
Agent upon consultation with the Steering Committee (y) conditions
requiring a Budget as to which the Debtors shall have until August 21,
2000, or such later date as the Prepetition Agent may specify in
writing after consultation with the Steering Committee to fulfill such
condition, and (z) the condition
15
pertaining to approval by this Court of the retention of Xxx Xxxx and
Associates or other firm reasonably acceptable to the Prepetition
Agent, as to which the Debtors shall have until August 12,2000, or such
later date as the Prepetition Agent may specify in writing after
consultation with the Steering Committee to fulfill such condition, and
(ii) after August 7, 2000 during any period when no Extensions of
Credit are outstanding, Debtors shall observe and perform all of the
covenants in the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Prepetition
Lenders, except to the extent waived by the Prepetition Agent;
PROVIDED, that, for avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to relieve debtors of (I) the conditions precedent to
Extensions of Credit before August 7, 2000 if they seek an Extension of
Credit prior to such date or (II) their obligations to the General
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to observe and perform the
covenants in the Loan Documents.
If the Debtors should fail to provide the Prepetition Lenders the
adequate protection set forth in this paragraph (vii), the Prepetition
Agent may, after consultation with the Steering Committee, upon 5
business days' notice to the Company, the Committee and the United
States Trustee, terminate the Debtors' right to use cash collateral and
take any other action or exercise any other right or remedy permitted
to the Prepetition Agent and/or the Prepetition Lenders under the
Prepetition Loan Documents, this Order or by operation of law.
(c) As adequate protection for, and to the extent of, any

the Debtors' Cash Collateral under Bankruptcy Code sec. 363 consisting of
balances in deposit accounts of Bank One, NA and Wachovia Bank, N.A. as of the
Petition Date each of Bank One, NA and Wachovia Bank, N.A. each is granted a
Superpriority Claim pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sec. 364(c)(1) to the extent it

and the Bankruptcy Code, junior only to (x) the Superpriority Claims granted
pursuant to this Order to the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders in
respect of the Obligations, (y) the Superpriority Claims granted pursuant to
this Order to the Prepetition Agent for the ratable benefit of the holders of
Prepetition Obligations, and (z) the Carve-Out.
(d) The debtors and the Committee shall have the right to
review and object to the reasonableness of any fees and expenses paid pursuant
to paragraphs 8(b)(iii) and 8(b)(v)(C) of this
16
Order in accordance with the following procedures: Counsel for the Prepetition
Agent and the Steering Committee shall provide to counsel for the Debtors and
the Committee, by no later than the 15th calendar day of each month, a request
for reimbursement of actual fees and expenses (including disbursements, costs
and charges) incurred during the preceding calendar month. Each of the Debtors
and the Committee shall have until the 10th calendar day after receipt of such
request (the "REVIEW PERIOD") to object to the Debtors' payment of any such fees
and expenses on the basis that such fees and expenses are unreasonable by
providing written notice to the Debtors and the party requesting such
reimbursement. If no timely objections are made with respect to any particular
request for reimbursement, the Debtors shall pay such request on the first
business day following the expiration of the Review Period. If any objection is
timely made to any particular request for reimbursement, such objection shall
specify the basis for which the objecting party challenges the reasonableness of
such fees or expenses and the Debtors shall pay within one business day of the
expiration of the Review Period any portion of such request which was not the
subject of such objection. If any objection to reasonableness cannot be
resolved by the parties, the Court shall resolve such objections.
(e) The Committee reserves its rights, and shall have the
right at any time prior to a disclosure statement hearing in the Chapter 11
Cases to seek (i) a determination by the Court that the Prepetition Agent and
the Prepetition Lenders are not entitled to some or all of the adequate
protection provided or contemplated by this order or the Interim Order and (ii)
recharacterization, reallocation, disgorgement or other appropriate relief as a
result of any such determination.
9. Under the circumstances, the adequate protection provided
herein is reasonable and sufficient to protect the interests of the Prepetition
Lenders. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the grant of adequate
protection to the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders pursuant hereto
is without prejudice to the holders of Prepetition Obligations to seek
modification of the grant of
17
adequate protection provided hereby so as to provide different or additional
adequate protection, and without prejudice to the right of the Debtors or any
other party in interest to contest any such modification.
10. Except as set forth in paragraphs 6(c), 7 and 8(b) above,
the Liens and Replacement Liens shall be prior and senior to all liens and
encumbrances of all other secured creditors in and to such Collateral granted,
or arising, after the Filing Date (including, without limitation, liens and
security interests, if any, granted in favor of any federal, state, municipal or
other governmental unit, commission, board or court for any liability of the
Debtors). Other than the Carve-Out, the Debtors shall not assert a claim under
Bankruptcy Code ss. 506(c) for any costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the preservation, protection or enhancement of, or realization by the
General Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Prepetition Agent or the holders
of Prepetition Obligations upon the Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral.
The Liens and Replacement Liens granted pursuant to this Order shall constitute
valid and duly perfected security interests and liens, and the General
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Prepetition Agent and the holders of
Prepetition Obligations shall not be required to file or serve financing
statements, notices of lien or similar instruments which otherwise may be
required under federal or state law in any jurisdiction, or take any action,
including taking possession, to validate and perfect such security interests and
liens; and the failure by the Debtors to execute any documentation relating to
the Liens or Replacement Liens shall in no way affect the validity, perfection
or priority of such Liens or Replacement Liens. If, however, the General
Administrative Agent or the Prepetition Agent, in their respective sole
discretion, shall determine to file any such financing statements, notices of
lien or similar instruments, or to otherwise confirm perfection of such Liens or
Replacement Liens, the Debtors are directed to cooperate with and assist in such
process, the stay imposed by Bankruptcy Code ss. 362(a) is hereby lifted to
allow the filing and recording of a certified copy of this Order or any such
financing statements, notices of lien or similar instruments, and all such
documents shall be deemed to have been filed or recorded at the time of and on
the date of this Order.
11. As long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid,
or any Loan Document remains in effect, the Debtors shall not seek, and it shall
constitute an Event of Default (and automatic occurrence of the Termination
Date) if any of the Debtors seek, or if there is entered, an order dismissing
18
any of the Chapter 11 Cases. If an order dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases
under Bankruptcy Code ss.1112 or otherwise is at any time entered, such order
shall provide (in accordance with Bankruptcy Code ss.ss.105 and 349) that (a)
the Superiority Claims, Liens and Replacement Liens granted pursuant to this
Order to the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders and to the Prepetition
Agent and the holders of Prepetition Obligations, as the case may be, shall
continue in full force and effect and shall remain binding on all parties in
interest notwithstanding such dismissal and until the Obligations and the
obligations in respect of the adequate protection granted herein shall have been
paid and satisfied in full and (b) this Court shall retain jurisdiction, to the
extent that it has the authority to do so, notwithstanding such dismissal, for
the purposes of enforcing such Superpriority Claims, Liens and Replacement Liens
and (c) if such dismissal occurs prior to the expiration of the periods granted
to any statutory committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to decretal paragraph
16(a) of this Order, such committee's right to bring in this Court actions
described in decretal paragraph 17(a) of this Order shall survive until the
expiration of the last day of the period specified in 16(a) notwithstanding the
entry of such dismissal order.
12. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the General Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the
Required Lenders, may exercise rights and remedies and take all or any of the
following actions without further modification of the automatic stay pursuant to
Bankruptcy Code ss. 362 (which is hereby deemed modified and vacated to the
extent necessary to permit such exercise of rights and remedies and the taking
of such actions) or further order of or application to this Court: (a) terminate
the Commitments and thereafter cease to issue Letters of Credit or make Loans to
the Company; (b) declare the principal of and accrued interest, fees and other
liabilities constituting the Obligations to be due and payable; (c) setoff
amounts in the Concentration Account and the Cash Collateral Account (as defined
in the Credit Agreement) or any other accounts maintained with a Lender, or
otherwise enforce rights against any other Collateral in the possession of the
General Administrative Agent or any Lender; and/or (d) take any other action or
exercise any other right or remedy
19
permitted to the General Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan
Documents, this Order or by operation of law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the General
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may take the actions described in clauses
(c) or (d) above only after providing five business days' prior written notice
to the Company, the United States Trustee and the Committee and PROVIDED that no
order prohibiting such actions is entered by this Court during such five
business day period. The Debtors waive any right to seek relief under the
Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, under Bankruptcy Code ss. 105, to
the extent any such relief would in any way restrict or impair the rights and
remedies of the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in this
Order and in the Loan Documents, PROVIDED that such waiver shall not preclude
the Debtors from contesting whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is then continuing.
13. The Debtors are authorized to perform all acts, and
execute and comply with the terms of such other documents, instruments and
agreements in addition to the Loan Documents, as the General Administrative
Agent or the Lenders may reasonably require, as evidence of and for the
protection of the Obligations, or which otherwise may be deemed reasonably
necessary by the General Administrative Agent or the Lenders to effectuate the
terms and conditions of this Order and the Loan Documents. The Debtors, the
General Administrative Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized to implement,
in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, any modifications
(including without limitation, any change in the number or composition of the
Lenders) of the Credit Agreement which are not material and adverse to the
Debtors without further Order of this Court.
14. Having been found to be extending credit, issuing Letters
of Credit and making Loans to the Debtors in good faith, the General
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to the full protection of
Bankruptcy Code ss. 364(e) with respect to the Obligations and the Liens created
or authorized by this Order in the event that this Order or any authorization
contained herein is stayed, vacated, reversed or modified on appeal. Any stay,
modification, reversal or vacation of this Order shall
20
not affect the validity of any obligation of the Debtors to the General
Administrative Agent or the Lenders incurred pursuant to this Order.
Notwithstanding any such stay, modification, reversal or vacation, all Loans
made and all Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Order and the Credit
Agreement, all uses of the Cash Collateral and all Obligations incurred by the
Debtors pursuant hereto or the Loan Documents prior to written notice to the
General Administrative Agent and the Prepetition Agent of the effective date of
such stay, modification, reversal or vacation, shall be governed in all respects
by the original provisions hereof and the General Administrative Agent, the
Lenders, the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders shall be entitled to
all the rights, privileges and benefits, including without limitation, the
Liens, Replacement Liens and Superpriority Claims granted herein.
15. The provisions of this Order and any actions taken
pursuant hereto shall survive entry of any order which may be entered (a)
confirming any plan of reorganization in any of the Chapter 11 Cases (and the
Obligations shall not be discharged by the entry of any such order or pursuant
to Bankruptcy Code ss. 1141(d)(4), the Debtors having hereby waived such
discharge); (b) converting any of the Chapter 11 Cases to a Chapter 7 case; or
(c) dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the terms and provisions of this
Order as well as the Superpriority Claims, Liens and Replacement Liens granted
pursuant to this Order and the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and
effect notwithstanding the entry of such order, and such Superpriority Claims,
Liens and Replacement Liens shall maintain their priority as provided by this
Order until all of the Obligations and all obligations in respect of the matters
set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of paragraph 8(b) and paragraph 8(c) are
indefeasibly paid in full and discharged.
16. The findings contained in paragraphs D and E shall be
binding upon all parties in interest, including without limitation, the Debtors
and the Committee, unless (a) a party in interest (including without limitation
the Committee) has properly filed an adversary proceeding or contested matter
(subject to the limitation set forth in the last sentence of decretal paragraph
4) challenging the amount, validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of
the Prepetition Obligations or the Prepetition Agent's liens on the
21
Prepetition Collateral in respect thereof, or otherwise asserting any claims or
causes of action against the Prepetition Agent or the holders of Prepetition
Obligations on behalf of the Debtors' estates, no later than the date that is
ninty (90) days after the date of the appointment of the Committee to commence
such advesary proceedings or contested matter with respect to the due execution,
authorization or perfection of the Prepetition Agent's liens on the Prepetition
Collateral, and (ii) 150 days after the date of appointment of the Committee
with respect to any other challenge relating to the Prepetition Obligations or
the Prepetition Agent's liens on the Prepetition Collateral, or otherwise
relating to any claims or causes of action against the Prepetition Agent or the
holders of the Prepetition Obligations, and (b) the Court rules in favor of the
plaintiff in any such timely filed adversary proceeding or contested matter. If
no such adversary proceeding or contested matter is commenced as of such dates,
the Prepetition Obligations shall constitute allowed claims, not subject to
subordination and otherwise unavoidable, for all purposes in the Chapter 11
Cases and any subsequent Chapter 7 cases, the Prepetition Agent's and the
Prepetition Lenders' liens on the Prepetition Collateral shall be deemed legal,
valid, binding, perfected, not subject to defense, counterclaim, offset of any
kind, subordination and otherwise unavoidable, and the Prepetition Agent, the
Prepetition Lenders, the Prepetition Obligations and the Prepetition Agent's and
the Prepetition Lenders' liens on the Prepetition Collateral shall not be
subject to any other or further challenge by any party in interest seeking to
exercise the rights of the Debtors' estates, including without limitation, any
successor thereto.
17. Entry of this Order shall be without prejudice to any and
all rights, remedies, claims and causes of action which the Prepetition Agent or
the Prepetition Lenders may have against the Debtors or third parties, and
without prejudice to the right of the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition
Lenders to seek relief from the automatic stay in effect pursuant to Bankruptcy
Code sec. 362, or any other relief in the Chapter 11 Cases, and the right of the
Debtors to oppose any such relief. The provisions of this Order shall be binding
upon and inure to the
22
benefit of the Agent, the Lenders, the Prepetition Agent, the holders of
Prepetition Obligations, the Debtors, and their respective successors and
assigns, including any trustee or other fiduciary hereafter appointed in the
Chapter 11 Cases as a legal representative of the Debtors or the Debtors'
estates.
18. Nothing in this Order or the Loan Documents shall relieve
any Debtor of any obligations or responsibility to comply with environmental
laws enforceable against such Debtor or imposes on any Debtor any obligations to
comply with environmental laws which are not otherwise enforceable against such
Debtor.
19. Notwithstanding any term or provision of the Interim
Order, this Order, or the loan Documents to the contrary, the General
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and the Prepetition Agent on
behalf of the Prepetition lenders, shall not exercise any right or remedy with
respect to any security interests, liens or Superpriority Claims on causes of
action of the Debtors against any third party (including, without limitation,
affiliates and insiders of the Debtors) arising directly or indirectly out of
the events relating to the Debtors' accounting irregularities publicly disclosed
in March 2000, or thereafter (collectively, the "THIRD-PARTY CAUSES OF ACTION"),
or the proceeds thereof, unless and until the General Administrative Agent and
the Prepetition Agent have used all commercially reasonable efforts to liquidate
all other Collateral and applied the proceeds thereof to satisfy the Obligations
and the adequate protection obligations of the Debtors, if any, under paragraph
8 of this Order. In the event of any recovery from any of the Third-Party Causes
of Action, the Debtors shall deposit such proceeds in a segregated account of
the Debtors to be held, and not used for working capital or other corporate
purposes, pending the application of such proceeds in accordance with the
provisions hereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on the
General Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Prepetition Agent, and the
Prepetition Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns.
23
20. The Liens and Adequate Protection Liens granted pursuant
to this Order and the Loan Documents to the General Administrative Agent and the
Lenders and the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders, respectively, to
the extent they attach to a lease of Star-Attack ionizing paint guns or the
proceeds and rents therefrom ("PAINT GUNS") under which a Debtor is the lessor
(a "SUBLEASE"), which Paint Guns are subject to a purported lease (a "MASTER
LEASE") under which such Debtor is the purported lessee from AEA shall be
entitled to payments of any amounts that become due under the Master Lease
postpetition, subject to Section 365(d)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code, except to
the extent that such amounts exceed the amount of the rents from the related
Sublease(s) during the related time period. The foregoing sentence shall not
limit either the amount of any prepetition claim by AEA resulting from rejection
of the Master Lease nor the amount required to cure a default under the Master
Lease as a condition of assumption of the Master Lease. Nothing contained in
this Order shall be deemed to be a determination as to the characterization of
the Master Lease as a true lease or a disguised secured financing and the
Debtors (and any representative of their estates) expressly reserve the right to
seek such a determination by the Court as to such characterization and any
appropriate relief relating thereto, including disgorgement of any payments made
to AEA thereunder.
21. Except as specifically amended, modified or supplemented
hereby, all of the provisions of the Interim Order shall remain in full force
and effect and are ratified by this Order. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of this Order and the terms of the Interim Order or the Loan
Documents, the terms of this Order shall control.

Agreement dated as of July 19,2000 (the "CREDIT AGREEMENT") among Safety-Kleen
Services, Inc., the several lenders parties thereto, TD as General

properties of the Company including, among other things, the Accounts, the
Company's accounts receivable, proceeds of pledged collateral and all monies,
instruments and other property deposited therein and all certificates and
instruments, if any representing or evidencing any of the foregoing. It is a
condition to the continued maintenance of the Accounts with Bank that it agrees
to this Agreement.
1. By signing this Agreement, Bank irrevocably agrees that from the date
hereof the Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive joint direction of
TD and CITBC, and all monies, instruments and other property of the
Company received for deposit in the

Agreement. The Accounts shall be subject to joint written instructions
only from TD and CITB C jointly and. absent written notice jointly from
TD and CITBC to the contrary, no officer or agent of the Company shall
have the authority to withdraw or provide payment instructions as to any
amounts in the Accounts or otherwise exercise any authority with respect
to the Accounts. Joint instructions from TD and CITBC (or the Company,
to the extent that TD and CUBC jointly direct Bank to follow the
instructions of the Company) with respect to the disposition of any and
all money deposited in the Accounts shall be understood to refer to, and
be effective as to, only the disposition of collected funds and all
funds as they become collected and available funds from time to time-
Bank is not in any event obligated to transfer uncollected or
unavailable funds out of the Accounts. Bank hereby agrees to:
(1) follow its usual operating procedures for the
handling of any deposit received for the Accounts,
in accordance with its standard account agreement
with Company, except as modified by this
Agreement;
(2) charge the Accounts for all returned remittances,
service charges, and other fees and charges
associated with this Agreement;
(3) follow its usual procedures in the event the
Accounts or any remittance should be or become the
subject of any writ levy, order or other similar
judicial or regulatory order or process;

in the Accounts with other funds; and
(5) maintain a record of all checks, deposits and any

TD and CITBC. Bank agrees that each such transfer of funds by it to said

(c) Company hereby authorizes Bank, without prior notice, from time
to time to debit any other account Company may have with Bank
for the amount or amounts due Bank under subsection 3 (a) or
3(b).
4. Bank hereby waives and agrees not to assert, claim or endeavor to
exercise, and by executing this Agreement bars and estops itself from
asserting, claiming or exercising, and Bank acknowledges that it has NOT
heretofore received a currently effective notice from any other party
asserting, claiming or exercising, any right of setoff, banker's lien or
other purported form of claim with respect to the Accounts and funds
from time to time therein, except with respect to Bank's eight to charge
the Accounts for any reasonable fees and expenses, or charge backs for
uncollected items or other deposits, all in accordance with its
customary practices and procedures. Except for such rights, Bank shall
have no rights in the Accounts or the funds therein. To the extent Bank
may ever have any such other rights, it hereby expressly subordinates
all such rights to all rights of TD and CITBC.
5. It is expressly agreed that any and all fees and charges associated with
the Accounts shall be payable exclusively by the Company. Such fees and
charges shall be included in the monthly statement furnished to the
Company and CITBC. Such statement shall be accompanied by supporting
documentation as to the fees and charges payable for such month. If the
Company fails to pay any such fees or charges and you cannot setoff any
such amounts from funds in the Accounts, CITBC shall pay same upon your
written request.
