corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware, each Subsidiary is duly organized and existing in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed and the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation
or entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions in which the
failure to be so qualified could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has and
each Subsidiary has the power to own their respective properties and to carry on
their
10
respective businesses as now being conducted. No Subsidiary has outstanding any
shares of stock of a class which has priority over any other class as to
dividends or in liquidation (except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 2A). Each
of the Company and each Subsidiary has the power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement, the Other Agreements, the Guaranty, the Collateral
Documents, the Notes and all other Note Documents to which it is a party and to
perform the provisions hereof and thereof.
2B. AUTHORIZATION, ETC. This Agreement, the Other Agreements, the
Guaranty, the Collateral Documents, the Notes and all other Note Documents have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and each
Subsidiary party thereto and this Agreement, the Other Agreements, the Guaranty,
the Collateral Documents and all other Note Documents constitute, and upon
execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Company and each Subsidiary party thereto enforceable
against the Company and each such Subsidiary in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law).
2C. LEGAL RESTRICTIONS; SUBSIDIARIES. (a) No Subsidiary is a party to, or
otherwise subject to any legal restriction or any agreement (other than this
Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 2C and customary limitations
imposed by corporate law statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to
pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of
capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 5K of the Original NPAs
(after giving effect to the Second Amendment), the Subsidiaries that are parties
to the Guaranty and the Security Agreement constitute all of the Subsidiaries of
the Company. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 5K of the Original NPAs
(after giving effect to the Second Amendment), the Company has pledged, pursuant
to the Pledge Agreement, all of the capital stock of each Subsidiary.
2D. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
(a) The Company has furnished you and each Other Purchaser of any
Note with the following financial statements, identified by a Senior
Financial Officer of the Company: (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the
Company and its Subsidiaries as at fiscal year end in each of the three
fiscal years of the Company most recently completed prior to the date as
of which this representation is made or repeated to such Purchaser (other
than fiscal years completed within 90 days prior to such date for which
audited financial statements have not been released) and consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows and a consolidated statement of
capital stock and retained earnings of the Company and its
11
Subsidiaries for each such year, all reported on by Ernst & Young (or any
independent public accounting firm of recognized national standing) and
(ii) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as
at the end of the quarterly period (if any) most recently completed prior
to such date and after the end of such fiscal year (other than quarterly
periods completed within 60 days prior to such date for which financial
statements have not been released) and the comparable quarterly period in
the preceding fiscal year and consolidated statements of operations and
cash flows and a consolidated statement of capital stock and retained
earnings for the periods from the beginning of the fiscal years in which
such quarterly periods are included to the end of such quarterly periods,
prepared by the Company. Such financial statements (including any related
schedules and/or notes) are true and correct in all material respects
(subject as to interim statements to changes resulting from audits and
year-end adjustments), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
consistently followed throughout the periods involved and show all
liabilities, direct and contingent, of the Company and its Subsidiaries
required to be shown in accordance with such principles. The balance
sheets fairly present the condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as
at the dates thereof, and the statements of operations, capital stock and
retained earnings and cash flows fairly present the results of the
operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their cash flows for
the periods indicated.
(b) There has been no material adverse change in the business,
operations, condition (financial or otherwise), assets, properties or
prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole since the
end of the most recent fiscal year for which such audited financial
statements have been furnished other than as has been previously disclosed
by the Company to the Purchasers for any changes through December 30,
2002. The Company is not aware of any facts that (individually or in the
aggregate) would result in any material change in the Business Plan. The
Business Plan was prepared on the basis of assumptions (all of which were
made by the Company in good faith), and reflect the reasonable estimates
of the Company of the financial condition, results of operations and other
information projected therein.
2E. ACTIONS PENDING. Except as described in reasonable detail on Schedule
2E, there is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any properties or rights of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, by or before any court, arbitrator or administrative or
governmental body which could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
2F. OUTSTANDING DEBT. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
outstanding any Debt except as permitted by paragraph 6A(2) of the Original NPAs
(after giving effect to the Second Amendment). There exists no default under the
provisions of any instrument (as defined in the UCC) or agreement evidencing
Debt of the Company or
12
any of its Subsidiaries in an amount greater than $250,000 or of any agreement
relating thereto (it being understood that the representation and warranty in
this sentence is made after giving effect to the April 2002 Modification and the
amendments prior thereto).
2G. TITLE TO PROPERTIES. The Company has and each of its Subsidiaries has
good, marketable and indefeasible title to its respective real properties (other
than properties which it leases) and good title to all of its other respective
properties and assets, including the properties and assets reflected in the most
recent audited balance sheet referred to in paragraph 2D of this Second
Amendment (other than properties and assets disposed of (x) in the ordinary
course of business, (y) in connection with the sale of the Brookings regional
distribution center, or (z) pursuant to the Designated Sale-Leaseback
Transaction), subject to no Lien of any kind except Liens permitted by paragraph
6A(1) of the Original NPAs. All leases necessary in any material respect for the
conduct of the respective businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries are
valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect. The security interests
granted under the Security Agreement by the Company and its Subsidiaries (the
"Security Interests") are granted as security only and shall not subject the
Collateral Agent or any holder of the Notes to, or transfer or in any way affect
or modify, any obligation or liability of the Company or any other Debtor (as
defined in the Security Agreement) with respect to any of the Collateral (as
defined in the Security Agreement) or any transaction in connection therewith.
The Security Interests constitute valid security interests under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Illinois ("UCC")
securing the Liabilities (as defined in the Security Agreement). The Security
Interests constitute perfected security interests in the Collateral (as defined
in the Security Agreement) (except inventory in transit) to the extent that a
security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC, prior
to all other liens, claims and rights of others therein except for Permitted
Liens (as defined in the Security Agreement).
2H. TAXES. The Company has and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all
federal, state and other tax returns which are required to be filed, and each
has paid all taxes as shown on such returns and on all assessments received by
it to the extent that such taxes have become due, except such unfiled returns
and unpaid taxes (i) as are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with
GAAP or (ii) the non-filing or non-payment of which (a) could not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) does not result in the
creation of any Lien other than Liens permitted by paragraph 6A(l)(i) of the
Original NPAs.
2I. CONFLICTING AGREEMENTS AND OTHER MATTERS. Neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries is a party to any contract or agreement or subject to any
charter or other corporate restriction which could have a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, the Other
Agreements, the Guaranty, the Collateral Documents, the Notes or any of the
other Note Documents, nor the offering, issuance and sale of the Notes, nor
fulfillment of nor compliance with the terms and
13
provisions hereof and thereof and of the Notes will conflict with, or result in
a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien
(other than the Liens created by the Collateral Documents) upon any of the
properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, the
charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any award of any
arbitrator or any agreement (including any agreement with stockholders),
instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or regulation to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject. Neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision
contained in, any instrument evidencing Indebtedness of the Company or such
Subsidiary, any agreement relating thereto or any other contract or agreement
(including its charter) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes
restrictions on the incurring of, Debt of the Company of the type to be
evidenced by the Notes except as set forth in the agreements listed in Schedule
2I attached hereto (as such Schedule 2I may have been modified from time to time
by written supplements thereto delivered by the Company and accepted in writing
by the Required Holders).
2J. ERISA. No contribution required to have been made to any Plan by the
Company or any Subsidiary under the provisions of the Plan or ERISA remains
unpaid and no accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in section 302 of ERISA
and section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any
Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan). No liability to the PBGC has been or is
expected by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred with respect to
any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) by the Company, any Subsidiary or any
ERISA Affiliate which has caused or could cause a Material Adverse Effect. None
of the Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently
expects to incur any withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect
to any Multiemployer Plan which has caused or could cause a Material Adverse
Effect.
2K. GOVERNMENTAL CONSENT. Neither the nature of the Company or of any
Subsidiary, nor any of their respective businesses or properties, nor any
relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any other Person, nor any
circumstance in connection with the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the
Notes is such as to require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or
any action by or notice to or filing with any court or administrative or
governmental body (other than routine filings after the Effective Date for any
Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or state Blue Sky
authorities) in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes or fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or of the Notes.
2L. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. The Company and its Subsidiaries and all of
their respective properties and facilities have complied at all times and in all
respects with all Environmental Laws, except, in any such case, where failure to
so comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
14
2M. SECTION 144A. The Notes are not of the same class as securities, if
any, of the Company listed on a national securities exchange registered under
Section 6 of the Exchange Act or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer
quotation system.
2N. STATUS UNDER CERTAIN STATUTES. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, the Interstate
Commerce Act, as amended, or the Federal Power Act, as amended.
2O. PRIORITY OF NOTES; BENEFITED OBLIGATIONS. The Notes constitute
"Superior Indebtedness" as such term is defined in the Company's Promissory
(subordinated) Notes, the form of which is attached to the April 2002
Modification as Exhibit A and the Subordinated Debt is subordinated to the
Indebtedness owing from time to time by the Company to the holders of the Notes
in connection with this Agreement.
2P. LICENSES, PERMITS, ETC.
Except as disclosed in Schedule 2P,
(i) the Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses,
permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, service marks,
trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the
aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others; .
(ii) to the best knowledge of the Company, no product of the Company
infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization,
patent, copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by
any other Person; and
(iii) to the best knowledge of the Company, there is no Material
violation by any Person of any right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
with respect to any patent, copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name or
other right owned or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
SECTION 3. Effectiveness. The amendments described in Section 1 above
shall become effective as of the date upon which each Purchaser has received the
following (the "Second Amendment Effective Date"):
(a) To the extent due and payable, payment of all costs and expenses
of such Purchaser (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal

Second Amendment and all prior negotiations and documentation;
15
(b) A copy of this Second Amendment duly executed by each party

full force and effect and each being in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchasers and all ancillary documents in connection
therewith, including the Confirmation (as attached to the First Amendment to the
BA Credit Agreements);
(d) A copy of the First Amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement
duly executed by all the parties thereto and in form and substance satisfactory
to the Purchasers;
(e) A copy of those certain leases, deeds and a Closing Agreement,

execution and completion of the Designated Sale-Leaseback Transaction;
(f) Such other documents or certificates as any Purchaser may
reasonably request; and
(g) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers that all
corporate and other proceedings shall have occurred.
SECTION 4. Further Assurances. Upon the request of the Purchasers, the
Company agrees to provide or cause its Subsidiaries to provide to the Purchasers
such additional amendments, consents, reaffirmations and ancillary documentation
as necessary or advisable, in the sole reasonable discretion of the Majority
Holders, to ensure that the Collateral Documents (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) are in full force and effect in all respects.
SECTION 5. Reference to and Effect on Original NPAs. Upon the
effectiveness of this Second Amendment as set forth in Section 3 above, each
reference to the Original NPAs (also referenced in certain other Financing
Agreements as the Senior Note Agreements or the Private Placement Agreements) in
any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to
such agreement as modified by this Second Amendment. Except as specifically set
forth in and in conformity with Section 1 above, each Original NPA shall remain
in full force and effect and each is hereby ratified and confirmed in all
respects.
16
SECTION 6. Waiver. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a waiver
of or consent to any violation of the Original NPAs or any Default or Event of
Default under the Original NPAs.
SECTION 7. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW IN SUCH

THAN SUCH STATE.
SECTION 8. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND EACH HOLDER OF
NOTES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT, THE ORIGINAL NPAs, THE
NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
SECTION 9. Counterparts; Section Titles. This Second Amendment may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute
but one and the same instrument. The section titles contained in this Second
Amendment are and shall be without substance, meaning or content of any kind
whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.
SECTION 10. Consents and Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in the
Original NPAs to the contrary, the Purchasers consent to (a) the amendments to
the Financing Agreements set forth as Exhibits G-1 and I-1 to the Original NPAs
and Exhibits A, B and C hereto (b) the consummation of the Designated
Sale-Leaseback Transaction and (c) the release of collateral by the Collateral
Agent to the extent subject to the Designated Sale-Leaseback Transaction.
Notwithstanding any provision in the Original NPAs to the contrary, the

Transaction shall be the Make-Whole Original Amount (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) and the Purchasers hereby waive any rights to any
Make-Whole Delta Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in
connection with prepayments required in connection with the Designated
Sale-Leaseback Transaction.
