to the Agent for the account of the Lenders in repayment of the principal amount

amounts set forth below on the Closing Date and thereafter on the first Business
Day of each month and year, set forth below; provided that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the aggregate then unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall be
payable on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due
and payable pursuant to Section 3 or 8):
Month, Year Amount
----------- ------
December, 2001 $320,000
January, 2002 through July, 2002 $320,000 per month
August, 2002 through August, 2005 $400,000 per month

balance of Loans
(b) The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of the Term Loans and Letter of 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 subsection 3.2. Undrawn Letters of Credit
shall not be deemed outstanding but shall bear interest at the rates set forth
in subsection 3.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay in full
each Undrawn Letter of Credit on the Maturity Date for application to any
drawings under the Letters of Credit until sixty days after the expiration of
such Letters of Credit (the "Letter of Credit Cash Collateral"). If all
obligations to the Lenders and the Agent have been fully satisfied, the Agent

and the Lenders hereby acknowledge, that the Borrower may be unable to pay to
the Agent for the account of the Lenders some or all of the thirteen monthly
principal payments due between December, 2001, and December, 2002. In order to
accommodate the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders have agreed that, during
such period, the Borrower, may defer paying any one or more of the principal
payments. Any such principal payment that is not made when due shall be deemed a
"Deferred Principal Payment." The aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
Deferred Principal Payments shall be payable on the Maturity Date (or such
earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 3 or
8) unless prepaid sooner in accordance with subsection 3.1. Deferred Principal
Payments shall bear interest at the rates set forth in subsection 3.2.
2.3 Evidence of Term Loan and Letter of Credit Loan. (a) (a) Each Term
Loan Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Term Loan Lender
resulting from the Term Loans outstanding to such Lender, including the amounts
of principal and interest payable and paid to
-18-
such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Letter of Credit Lenders
shall maintain similar accounts with respect to the Letter of Credit Loans.
(b) The Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection
10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Agent
hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender's share thereof, if any.
(c) The entries made in the Registers and the accounts of each Lender
maintained by the Agent pursuant to subsection 2.3(b) shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and,
amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however,
that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain the Registers or any
such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to
the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) The Borrower agrees that at the closing on the Closing Date the
Borrower will execute and deliver to each Lender or Letter of Credit Lender, as
the case may be, (i) a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Term Loan
outstanding to such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 (a "Term
Note"), payable to the order of such Lender and in a principal amount equal to
such Lender's Term Loan as set forth on Schedule IA and (ii) a promissory note
of the Borrower evidencing the Letter of Credit Loan to such Letter of Credit
Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 (a "Letter of Credit Note"),
payable to the order of such Letter of Credit Lender and in a principal amount
equal to such Letter of Credit Lender's Letter of Credit Loan as set forth on
Schedule IB. Each Term Loan Lender or Letter of Credit Lender is hereby
authorized to record the date and amount of each Term Loan or Letter of Credit
Loan outstanding to such Lender, the date and amount of each payment or
prepayment of principal thereof, on the schedule annexed to and constituting a
part of its Term Note or Letter of Credit Note, as the case may be; provided,
however, that the failure to make any such recordation (or any error therein)
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with
applicable interest) the Term Loans or the Letter of Credit Loans made to the
Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS
3.1 Prepayments. (a) (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to
time, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at
least three Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Agent, specifying the date
and amount of prepayment. Upon receipt of any such notice the Agent shall
promptly notify each 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 subsection 3.6, if any, and
accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of the
Loans shall be applied on a pro rata basis between the outstanding Loans and
shall be applied to the remaining installments of principal thereof in the
inverse order of their maturities if such prepayments are mandatory prepayments
and in the scheduled order of their maturities if such prepayments are voluntary
prepayments, provided that voluntary prepayments shall be applied first to
outstanding
-19-
Deferred Principal Payments, if any. Amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may
not be reborrowed. Such partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal
amount of no less than $200,000.
(b) The Net Proceeds of any Covered Sale, Qualifying Insurance and
Other Proceeds and Pension Plan Reversion Proceeds shall be applied toward the
prepayment of the Loans in the inverse order of their maturities and may not be
reborrowed, provided, however, that if by March 31, 2002, the Agent for the
account of the Lenders receives from the Borrower the proceeds of General
Combustion Limited's sale of real property in Billingshurst, England (the
"Billingshurst Facility"), the proceeds of the sale of the Billingshurst
Facility will be applied first toward the prepayment of any Deferred Principal
Payments and then toward the payment of any as-yet-unpaid principal payments due
during calendar year 2002 and, provided further, that if the Agent for the
account of the Lenders receives the proceeds of the Billingshurst Facility sale
after March 31, 2002, but before July 1, 2002, one-half of the proceeds of the
sale of the Billingshurst Facility will be applied first toward the prepayment
of any Deferred Principal Payments and then toward the payment of any
as-yet-unpaid principal payments due during calendar year 2002 and the other
one-half of the proceeds will be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans in
the inverse order of their maturities.
(c) The Borrower shall pay the Required Prepayment, if any, on or
before December 31, 2001. Such amount shall be applied to the prepayment of the
Loans in the inverse order of their maturities. The Borrower may make all or any
part of the Required Prepayment from the proceeds of any Covered Sale.
(d) If the Borrower receives from or on behalf of Midwest Employers
Casualty Co. any reimbursements or refunds in connection with the Midwest
Employers Casualty Letter of Credit, which the Borrower acknowledges has been
drawn in full by the beneficiary, the Borrower immediately shall remit all such
funds to the Agent for application to the amount due the Lenders on the Maturity
Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable).
(e) If the combined revenue of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for
any of the first three full quarters following December 31, 2001, exceeds the
projected revenue level for such quarter as set forth in the revenue projections
in Schedule 3.1(e), then within 60 days after the end of such quarter, the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal
to ten percent (10%) of the amount by which the actual quarterly revenue
exceeded the applicable quarterly revenue projection set forth in Schedule
3.1(e) (such amount due, a "Revenue-Based Supplemental Principal Payment"). Any
Revenue-Based Supplemental Principal Payments shall be applied first toward the
prepayment of any Deferred Principal Payments, second toward the prepayment of
any remaining principal payments during calendar year 2002 and finally toward
the prepayment of the Loans in the inverse order of their maturities.
3.2 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.
(a) Each outstanding Loan, including payments made by the Agent with
respect to the Disputed Letter of Credit, shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate. Amounts constituting Undrawn Letters of Credit
shall bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per
-20-
annum. Amounts constituting Deferred Principal Payments, in addition to bearing
interest at the Base Rate, shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum from
the date of each such Deferred Principal Payment until repayment in full thereof
(the "Additional Interest Rate").
(b) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii)
any interest payable thereon or (iii) any fee or other amount payable hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall not be paid when due (whether at the
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum that is 2% over the rate otherwise applicable
thereto, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is
paid in full (before as well as after the applicable judgment, if any),
provided, however, that Deferred Principal Payments shall not be due until the
Maturity Date (unless accelerated pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) and,
therefore, the increased rate of interest set forth in this subsection 3.2(b)
shall not apply to Deferred Principal Payments unless such sums are not paid
when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).
(c) Interest, other than interest that accrues on Deferred Principal
Payments at the Additional Interest Rate (such interest, "Additional Interest"),
shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that
interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection shall be payable
from time to time on demand. Additional Interest shall be payable on the
Maturity Date.
3.3 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Agent fees and interest shall
be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for
the actual days elapsed. Any change in interest rate on a Loan resulting from a
change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on
the day on which such change becomes effective. The Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the
amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and
the affected Lenders in the absence of manifest error.
3.4 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. All payments (including
prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of
principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
due date thereof to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders or the Agent, as
the case may be, at the Agent's office specified in subsection 10.2, in Dollars
and in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Agent after such
time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Agent
shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled to receive the same
promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments
of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension.
3.5 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement
and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for or on
-21-
account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, charges, deductions or
withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed
by, any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes, franchise taxes,
or any other taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of the
Agent or such Lender, in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which
the Agent or such Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof or by
the jurisdiction in which the applicable lending, or issuing office of the Agent
or such Lender is located or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) U.S.
withholding taxes payable with respect to payments hereunder under laws
(including any treaty, ruling, determination or regulation) in effect on the
date hereof, but not any increase in U.S. withholding tax resulting from any
subsequent change in such laws occurring (x) after the date hereof in the case
of the Agent and any Lender as of the date of this Agreement, and (y) in the
case of any other Lender, the date of Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to
which it became a Lender (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, charges,
deductions and withholdings the "Non-Excluded Taxes"). In addition, the Borrower
agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other
excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment
made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement ("Other Taxes"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes are required by law to be withheld from any amounts payable to the
Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so payable to the
Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Agent or such Lender interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the
rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes. Whenever any
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, upon receipt
thereof, the Borrower shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the
account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of any original
official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. The Borrower
shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for the full amount of Non-Excluded
Taxes, Other Taxes and any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this subsection 3.5(a) that are paid by such Lender or Agent, (including
penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto). If
the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for
contesting any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, such Lender or the Agent shall
cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other
Taxes at the Borrower's expense if requested by the Borrower (it being
understood and agreed that the Agent or such Lender shall have no obligation to
contest or responsibility for contesting such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other
Taxes). If any Lender receives a refund in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes for which such Lender has received payment from the Borrower
hereunder, such Lender shall, within 3l days of receipt by such Lender, repay
such refund to the Borrower, provided that the Borrower, upon the request of
such Lender, agrees to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges) to the Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such
refund. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Notes 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 that is a "bank" under Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code:
-22-
(A) on or before the date of the first payment to
such Lender pursuant to this Agreement following the Closing
Date or on or before the effective date of the Assignment and
Acceptance, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (x) two duly
completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the
case may be, and (y) 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 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 promptly upon 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 Agent; or
(ii) in the case of a Lender that is not a "bank" under
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code:
(A) deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (1) a
statement under penalties of perjury 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 trade 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 (11) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8;
(B) deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a further
copy of said Form W-8, or any successor applicable form or
other manner of certification 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 such Lender; and
(C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and
complete such forms or certifications as may be reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Agent;
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 any 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
-23-
Borrower and the Agent. Such Lender shall certify (i) in the case of a Form
W-8BEN or W-8ECI, 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
Participant pursuant to subsection 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the
related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements
required pursuant to this subsection to the Lender from which the related
participation shall have been purchased.
3.6 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold
each Lender harmless from any loss or reasonable expense which such Lender may
sustain or incur as a consequence of default by the Borrower for any reason in
making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Such loss or reasonable
expense may include any loss, including loss of anticipated profits, costs or
expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds in order to fund or maintain such Loans. This covenant shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
3.7 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that it will use all
reasonable efforts (so long as such designation would not be adverse to it, as
determined in its sole judgment) to designate a lending office or a different
lending office if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the
need for the Borrower to make payments under subsection 3.5(a).
3.8 Annual Agency Fee. On the Closing Date and on each anniversary date
of the Closing Date until the later of the termination of this Agreement or
until all Indebtedness under this Agreement has been paid and satisfied in full,
the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the Agent's own account, an annual
agency fee in the amount of $75,000 in respect of services by the Agent for the
following year and which fee is fully earned and due and payable as of each such
date.
3.9 Field Examination and Appraisal Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay
all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Agent with respect to
the Agent's field examinations of the Borrower's operations and all appraisals
of any of the Collateral as permitted herein:
(a) Field Examinations. If (i) the opinion of the Borrower's
independent auditors in connection with the financial statements furnished to
the Agent pursuant to subsection 6.1 below shall contain a "going concern" or
like qualification or exception, or qualification arising out of the scope of an
audit, or (ii) the Borrower or any of its Active Subsidiaries fails to furnish
to the Agent, with a copy for each Lender, by December 31 of any calendar year
the financial statements described in subsection 6.1(a) for the fiscal year
ended September 30 of such calendar year, then, for each such fiscal year, the
Agent may request that BDO Xxxxxxx, LLP, or another accounting firm selected by
the Agent ("Agent's Accountant") on behalf of the Agent and the Lenders, conduct
a field examination of the operations of the Borrower and the Active
Subsidiaries. The Borrower and its Active Subsidiaries shall instruct their
independent auditors to furnish their audit work papers to Agent's Accountant at
least 10 business days prior to the field examination and to cooperate fully
with Agent's Accountants in
-24-
all reasonable respects. Such instructions shall be in writing with a copy
provided to the Agent. An officer of the Agent shall be present for the field
examination and audit, which will be conducted primarily by two field examiners
and/or auditors for three days. The Borrower shall be responsible for all costs,
fees and expenses of the field examination and audit, including, but not limited
to, those of the Agent's officer. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Lenders, may conduct
any such field examinations as it deems reasonably necessary and advisable, with
all costs, fees and expenses to be borne by the Borrower.
(i) Appraisals. The Agent, for itself and on behalf of the
Lenders, shall conduct two scheduled appraisals of all real property
sites owned by the Borrower or its Active Subsidiaries, the first such
appraisal to be completed by February 28, 2002, and the second such
appraisal to be completed by December 31, 2004. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, however, the Agent, for itself
and on behalf of the Lenders, may conduct appraisals of any of the
Collateral, as the Agent deems reasonably necessary and advisable, with
all costs, fees and expenses to be borne by the Borrower. All
appraisals will be performed by reputable appraisers selected in
advance by the Agent. The Agent shall advise the Borrower of the names
of the appraisers that bid to perform the appraisals and of the bid
prices submitted, but the Agent shall retain sole discretion over the
final selection of appraisers. The Borrower shall, and shall cause its
Active Subsidiaries to, cooperate fully with any and all appraisers
selected by the Agent, including, but not limited to, affording the
appraisers access to real property sites and providing the appraisers
with documentation that the appraisers reasonably request in order to
complete their appraisals.
SECTION 3.A RENEWAL OF UNEXPIRED LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.A.1 Renewal.On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Credit
Lyonnais New York Branch, in its capacity as issuing bank (the "Issuing Bank"),
on behalf of the Letter of Credit Lenders, may renew any Unexpired Letter of
Credit upon the request of the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Unexpired Letter of Credit. Such request by the Borrower for the
renewal of an Unexpired Letter of Credit may be made by telephone, e-mail or
telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone. If the Issuing Bank
does not intend to renew an Unexpired Letter of Credit, it shall give notice to
the beneficiary in accordance with the terms of such Unexpired Letter of Credit
of its intention not to renew the Unexpired Letter of Credit. The Borrower may
cancel an Unexpired Letter of Credit prior to renewal of such Unexpired Letter
of Credit by telephone, e-mail or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if
by telephone, to the Issuing Bank and the Agent, such request to be accompanied
by (i) the beneficiary's duly executed, written acknowledgment of the
cancellation of such Unexpired Letter of Credit and (ii) the original Unexpired
Letter of Credit bearing such beneficiary's name. In the event of any renewal or
non-renewal of an Unexpired Letter of Credit, the Agent, on behalf of the
Issuing Bank, shall give each Letter of Credit Lender prompt notice thereof by
telephone, e-mail or telecopy, confirmed promptly in writing if by telephone.
3.A.2 Participation by Letter of Credit Lenders. Immediately upon
renewal by the Issuing Bank of any Unexpired Letter of Credit in accordance with
the procedures set forth in
-25-
this Section 3.A, each Letter of Credit Lender shall be deemed to have
irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the
extent of such Letter of Credit Lender's Pro Rata Letter of Credit Share of such
renewed Unexpired Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all
obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto).
3.A.3 Drawings. In the event that any drawing shall be made under an
Unexpired Letter of Credit, by demand or claim (including, without limitation,
any draft), the Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Letter of Credit
Lenders via telephone, e-mail or telecopy of such drawing, confirmed promptly in
writing if by telephone. Drawn Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be an
outstanding Letter of Credit Loan and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate. Immediately upon receipt of such notice, the Letter of Credit
Lenders shall pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of their respective
participations in the Drawn Letter of Credit. In the event that any Letter of
Credit Lender fails timely to pay the amount of its participation as required by
this subsection, interest shall accrue thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the
first three Business Days following the date of payment by the Issuing Bank and
the Federal Funds Rate plus 1% for the period thereafter to the date of payment
thereof by such Letter of Credit Lender.
3.A.4 Other Lender. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Unexpired Letter of Credit, if
taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall
not put the Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Lender or relieve
any Letter of Credit Lender of its obligations hereunder to the Issuing Bank. In
determining whether to pay under any Unexpired Letter of Credit, the Issuing
Bank shall have no obligation to the Lenders other than to confirm that any
documents required to be delivered under such Unexpired Letter of Credit appear
to have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the
requirements of such Unexpired Letter of Credit.
3.A.5 Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, reasonable costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever, including
reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and paralegals that the Issuing Bank
may incur (or that may be claimed against the Issuing Bank by any Person),
together with all reasonable costs and expenses resulting from the compromise or
defense of any claims or liabilities hereinafter described, by reason of or in
connection with (a) the execution and delivery or transfer of, or payment or
failure to pay under, any Unexpired Letter of Credit, (b) any suit, action or
proceeding brought by any person to require or prevent payment under any
Unexpired Letter of Credit, or (c) any breach by the Borrower of any warranty,
covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, any of
the Loan Documents (to the extent related to Unexpired Letters of Credit), any
Unexpired Letter of Credit or any related contract, together with all reasonable
expenses resulting from the compromise or defense of any claims or liabilities
arising as a result of any such breach or default and defense against any legal
action commenced to challenge the validity of any of such documents; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Issuing Bank
for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent,
but only to the extent, caused by (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as determined in a final, non-appealable
-26-
judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction) of the Issuing Bank in
determining whether a draft, certificate or other documents presented under any
Unexpired Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Unexpired Letter of
Credit, or (ii) the Issuing Bank's willful failure to pay under any Unexpired
Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereof of a
draft, certificate or other document strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of such Unexpired Letter of Credit. In case any action or proceeding
is brought against the Issuing Bank in respect of which indemnity may be sought
under this Agreement, the Issuing Bank shall promptly give notice of any such
action or proceeding to the Borrower and may require the Borrower, upon such
notice, to assume the defense of the action or proceeding, provided that failure
of the Issuing Bank to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of any of
its obligations under this subsection. Upon receipt of such notice from the
Issuing Bank requesting that the Borrower assume such defense, the Borrower
shall resist and defend such action or proceeding at the Borrower's sole cost
and expense. The obligations of the Borrower under this subsection shall survive
the termination of the Unexpired Letters of Credit and this Agreement.
3.A.6 Liability of the Issuing Bank. The Borrower assumes all risks of
the acts or omissions of the users of any Unexpired Letter of Credit and all
risks of the misuse of any Unexpired Letter of Credit. Neither the Issuing Bank,
nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable or
responsible for: (a) the use which may be made of any Unexpired Letter of Credit
or for any acts or omissions of any Person and any transferee in connection
therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any
endorsement or endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove
to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c)
payment against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of
the applicable Unexpired Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to
bear any reference or adequate reference to such Unexpired Letter of Credit; or
(d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment
under any Unexpired Letter of Credit, except only that the Borrower shall have a
claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the
Borrower to the extent, but only to the extent, of damages suffered by the
Borrower that were caused by (i) the Issuing Bank's gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction) in determining whether documents presented under any
Unexpired Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Unexpired Letter of
Credit (it being understood that any such noncompliance in any immaterial
respect shall not be deemed gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Issuing Bank) or (ii) the Issuing Bank's willful failure to pay under any
Unexpired Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary
thereof of a draft, certificate or other document strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of such Unexpired Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not
in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary unless
the Issuing Bank shall have been ordered not to accept such documents by a court
of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 3.B Disputed Letter of Credit Facility
3.B.1 Acknowledgment. The Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Letter of Credit Lenders acknowledge that (i) XX Xxxxxx presented the Disputed
Letter of Credit

that it did not comply with the terms of the Disputed Letter of Credit, and
(iii) the Disputed Letter of Credit expired on April 30, 2001.
3.B.2 Purchase; Assumption. Each Letter of Credit Lender hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally purchases and assumes and shall be deemed to
have received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in the Disputed Letter of Credit. Each Letter of
Credit Lender hereby assumes its Pro Rata Letter of Credit Share of all costs,
fees, expenses, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses, including without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively, "Damages"), incurred by
the Agent and/or the Issuing Bank in connection with the Disputed Letter of
Credit, including any Damages incurred by the Agent and/or the Issuing Bank as a
result of the failure to honor the Disputed Letter of Credit; provided, however,
that the Letter of Credit Lenders shall have no obligation to the Issuing Bank
or the Agent pursuant to this subsection 3.B.2 if, but for the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuing Bank or the Agent (as determined
in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), the
Damages for which the Issuing Bank or the Agent seeks reimbursement or payment
would not have arisen. If the Issuing Bank or the Agent incurs any Damages
related to the Disputed Letter of Credit, it shall notify the Letter of Credit
Lenders of such Damages, which the Letter of Credit Lenders agree to reimburse
to the Issuing Bank or the Agent in accordance with their Pro Rata Letter of
Credit Shares.
3.B.3 Payments Under Disputed Letter of Credit. In the event that the
Agent or the Issuing Bank makes any payment(s) to XX Xxxxxx under the Disputed
Letter of Credit, the Agent or the Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower via
telephone, e-mail or telecopy of such payment. Any amount paid or to be paid by
the Agent or the Issuing Bank under the Disputed Letter of Credit shall be added
to the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Letter of Credit Loans due and
payable on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due
and payable) and, once paid by the Agent or the Issuing Bank, shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. In addition, regardless of
whether the Agent or the Issuing Bank makes any payment(s) to XX Xxxxxx under
the Disputed Letter of Credit, if the Agent notifies the Borrower of any Damages
incurred by the Agent in connection with the Disputed Letter of Credit, within
30 days the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent or the Issuing Bank, as
applicable, in immediately available funds for such Damages incurred by the
Agent or the Issuing Bank.

Documents to which any Loan Party is a party, will not violate any Requirement
of Law or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which any Loan Party

respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or any
such indenture, agreement or other instrument.
4.5 No Material Litigation. Except as set forth in the Plan of
Reorganization and in the Disclosure Statement, no litigation, investigation or

of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or (b) which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.6 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any Active Subsidiary is in
default under or with respect to any indenture, agreement or other instrument
(other than with respect to trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of
business) to which the Borrower or Active Subsidiary, as applicable, is a party
or by which it or any of its property is bound in any respect which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect except for any such
indenture, agreement or other instrument related to Indebtedness that will be
satisfied and from which the Borrower or Active Subsidiary, as applicable, will
be released on the Closing Date. No default or event of default has occurred and
is continuing under the IRB Documents. No Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.
4.7 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Loan Party has good record and
marketable title (except for such encumbrance or restriction arising in the
ordinary course of business which do not materially restrict the intended use of
such property) in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real
property (other than any real property located in Brazil owned directly or
indirectly by CPM Brazil Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries), and good title to, or
a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property, except for such
minor defects in title that do not affect the ability to use such property in
the conduct of its business, and none of such property is subject to any Lien
except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 or as permitted by subsection 7.3.
4.8 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use,
all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes

-30-
Property") and except for any Intellectual Property registered in Brazil and
owned directly or indirectly by CPM Brazil Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries. To
the best of the Borrower's knowledge, no claim has been asserted or is pending
by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual
Property by any Loan Party or the validity or effectiveness of any such
Intellectual Property except for such claims which even if successful could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor does the Borrower
know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of such Intellectual
Property by any 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.
4.9 No Burdensome Restrictions. After giving effect to the Plan of
Reorganization, no indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the
Borrower or any Active Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its
property is bound could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
4.10 Taxes. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Statement
and in the Plan of Reorganization, the Borrower and each Active Subsidiary have
filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and local tax returns which, to
the knowledge of the Borrower, 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 material taxes, fees or other charges
imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than
any 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).
4.11 ERISA. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Statement
and in the Plan of Reorganization, neither a Reportable Event nor an
"accumulated funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code
or Section 302 of ERISA and whether or not waived) 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 that remains outstanding in any respect and
that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each
Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of
ERISA and the Code. Except with respect to the CPM Defined Benefit Plan, which,
subject to the approval of the proper Governmental Authorities, is due to be
terminated on February 28, 2002, 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 that has resulted in any material liability. Except with
respect to the CPM Defined Benefit Plan, 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. Attached as Schedule 4.11(a) is
a copy of the "Notice of Intent to Terminate the Consolidated Process Machinery,
Inc. Pension Plan," executed by the administrator of the CPM Defined Benefit
Plan, as sent to all participants in the CPM Defined Benefit Plan, and setting
forth the date on which the CPM Defined Benefit Plan will be terminated, and
attached as Schedule 4.11(b) is written confirmation from the Borrower's actuary
regarding the approximate present value of the accrued benefits under the CPM
Defined Benefit Plan as of December, 2001. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly
Controlled Entity
-31-
has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and
neither the Borrower 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 and no such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent,
except in each instance where such liability, reorganization or insolvency could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 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 for post-retirement benefits to be provided to its
current and former employees under Plans, other than the CPM Defined Benefit
Plan, that 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 which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Commonly Controlled Entity that has liability for
post-retirement benefits has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 106.
4.12 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. The Borrower is not an
"investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company",
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended. The
Borrower is not subject to regulation under any federal or state statute or
regulation which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.
4.13 Subsidiaries. The Persons listed on Schedule 4.13 constitute all
the foreign and domestic Subsidiaries of the Borrower at the date hereof. Such
schedule identifies the state or country of incorporation of each such
Subsidiary and, if such Subsidiary is not a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of
the Borrower, the percentage ownership of such Subsidiary directly or indirectly
owned by the Borrower and the ownership chain for such Subsidiary.
4.14 Environmental Matters. (a) (a) Except as disclosed on Schedule
4.14, no real estate currently owned or leased by the Borrower or any or its
Subsidiaries, to the best of the Borrower's knowledge, contains any Materials of
Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations which could reasonably be
expected to give rise to a material liability under any Environmental Law.
(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.14, to the best of the Borrower's
knowledge, all real estate currently owned or leased by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and all operations thereon are in material compliance with all
applicable Environmental Laws, and to the best of the Borrower's knowledge,
there is no contamination at, under or about such real estate or violation of
any Environmental Law with respect to such real estate or the business operated
by any Loan Party (the "Business") which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect or interfere with the continued operation of such real
estate.
(c) Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.14, there are no existing or
potential Environmental Claims against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of
violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability
regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with
regard to any of the real estate currently owned, leased or operated by
-32-
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Business which could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, no judicial proceeding or
governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened under any Environmental Law to which any Loan Party is or
will be named as a party with respect to any real estate currently owned, leased
or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Business which
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor are there
any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or
other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under
any Environmental Law with respect to such real estate or the Business which
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) No matter disclosed on Schedule 4.14 nor any aggregation of such
matters could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.15 Indebtedness. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, as of the
Closing Date, the amount of unsecured pre-petition indebtedness outstanding is
as set forth on Schedule 4.15.
4.16 Intentionally Omitted.
4.17 Intentionally Omitted.
4.18 Insurance. Schedule 4.18 lists all insurance maintained by the
Loan Parties as of the Closing Date.
4.19 Intentionally Omitted.
4.20 Labor Relations. Neither the Borrower nor to the best knowledge of
the Borrower, any of its Active Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor
practice that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and
there is (i) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against the Borrower or
to the best knowledge of the Borrower, any of its Active Subsidiaries or, to the
best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any of them, before the
National Labor Relations Board, and no material grievance or arbitration
proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so

interest in a checking or similar account, then the Borrower shall not permit
the account balance in any such account to exceed $50,000 at any time (after

this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.
9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except
for its or such Person's own gross negligence or
-54-
willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for
any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or
any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in
any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. The Agent shall not 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, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower.
9.4 Reliance by Agent. The 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 Agent. The Agent shall treat the payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes unless the assignment or transfer shall have been
recorded in the Register. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders
as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by
the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by
it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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.
9.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless
the 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 Agent receives such a
notice, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The 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 Agent shall have received such directions, the 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.
9.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations
or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including
any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to
the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own
-55-
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its
own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the 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 and the other Loan Documents,
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 Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent
hereunder, the 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
the Borrower which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent 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 Loan Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is
sought under this subsection (or, if indemnification is sought after the date
the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Loan
Percentages immediately prior to such date), 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 notes)
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to
or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents 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 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 the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction). The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of
the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may
make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Borrower as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the 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
Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Agent in its
individual capacity.
9.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days'
written notice to the Lenders. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint
from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, whereupon such
successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and
the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon such
-56-
appointment and approval, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as
Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part
of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of
the Notes. After any retiring Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of
this subsection shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any Note or any
other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended,
supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection. The Required Lenders may, with the consent of the Agent, or, with
the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Agent may, from time to time,
(a) enter into with the Borrower written amendments, supplements or
modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding
any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents 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 Agent, as
the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its
consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment,
supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled
date of maturity of any Loan or of any installment thereof, or reduce the stated
rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of
any payment thereof, in each case without the consent of each Lender affected
thereby, (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of subsection 2.2 or 10.1 or
reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, or
consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or release all or
substantially all of the Collateral in each case without the written consent of
all the Lenders, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2 or the
order of application of prepayments in subsection 3.1 without the written
consent of the Required Lenders, (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of
Section 9 without the written consent of the then Agent (provided that the
rights of any prior Agent or Agents shall not be adversely affected thereby).
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, and the Agent. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders,
and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder
and under the outstanding Notes and any other Loan Documents, and any Default or
Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default,
or impair any right consequent thereon.
10.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by
telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to

Agent, and as set forth in Schedule IA in the case of the other parties hereto,

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no
delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document,
certificate or
-58-
statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement.
10.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or
reimburse the Agent for all its out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including
legal fees, incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of any
further amendment, supplement, modification or waiver to, this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection therewith,
(b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Agent for all its
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation
of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other
documents, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel
to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and to each Lender, and (c) to pay, indemnify,
and hold each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Agent harmless from, any and all
recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying, documentary stamp, excise and other taxes,
if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable by reason of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
such other documents, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any
waiver or consent under or in respect thereof and (d) to indemnify, and hold
each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Agent and their respective affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an "Indemnified
Party") 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 (including legal fees and other
charges) with respect to the execution, delivery, performance and consummation
of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Disputed Letter of Credit and
any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing
relating to, or arising out of (i) the preparation for a defense of, or
participation in, any investigation, litigation, proceeding or other action
related to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other such documents
(whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to such proceeding or other
action and whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or other
action is brought by the Borrower, its stockholders or creditors or by any other
Person) or (ii) the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any
Environmental Law applicable to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of
the Mortgaged Properties (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively,
the "indemnified liabilities"), provided, that the Borrower shall have no
obligation hereunder to an Indemnified Party with respect to indemnified
liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court
of competent jurisdiction). The agreements in this subsection shall survive
repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the
Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Agent 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 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 or any other interest of such Lender
-59-
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 to the other parties for
the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan
for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the
Borrower and the 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. The Borrower also agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 3.5 and 3.6 with
respect to its participation in the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it
was a Lender.
(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in
accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any
Lender or any affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Agent (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld), to another Person (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
K, executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an
Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Agent) and
delivered to the Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register,
provided that, in the case of any such assignment to an additional Assignee, the
sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans being assigned and, if such
assignment is of less than all of the rights and obligations of the assigning
Lender, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans remaining with
the assigning Lender are each not less than $1,500,000. 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, 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
paragraph (e) of this subsection, unless requested by the Assignee and/or the
assigning Lender, Notes shall not be required to be executed and delivered by
the Borrower, for any assignment which occurs at any time when any of the events
described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing.
(d) The Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address
of the Agent referred to in subsection 10.2 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 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 Agent and
the Lenders 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
shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made
in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
-60-
Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
(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 or an affiliate thereof, by the Agent) together with payment by
the Assignee or the assigning Lender to the Agent of a registration and
processing fee of $3,500, the 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) Subject to the provisions of subsection 10.16, the Borrower
authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a
"Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information
in such Lender's possession concerning the Borrower, its wholly-owned Domestic
Subsidiaries and its 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, its wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiaries and
its 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, provided that no such assignment shall
release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.
10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a "Benefited Lender")
shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest
thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
referred to in Section 8(f), 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 Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of each such other Lender's Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders
with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits
of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is
thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest.
(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
-61-
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 or agency thereof to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and
the 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.
10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by
telecopy), 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 Agent.
10.9 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.
10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the agreement of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, the Agent and the
Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties of any party hereto relative to
subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the
other Loan Documents. Any previous agreement with respect to the subject matter
hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10.11 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF.
10.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower 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 Courts of the State of
New York, 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;
-62-
(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 it at its address set
forth in subsection 10.2 or at such other address of which the 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.
10.13 Acknowledgments. The 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 Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship
with or duty to it arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Agent and Lenders, on one
hand, and it, 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 it and the Lenders.
10.14 Waivers of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION
OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY
COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
10.15 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein or in
the Notes to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together
with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under applicable law
(collectively, the "Charges"), as provided for herein or in any other document
executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received,
taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the
"Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or
reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest
payable under the Note held by such Lender, together with all Charges payable to
such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.
10.16 Confidentiality. The Lenders shall hold in confidence all
non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement,
provided that any Lender may make disclosure (i) reasonably required by any
Transferee or prospective Transferee pursuant to subsection 10.6 (subject to the
execution by such Transferee or prospective Transferee of a confidentiality
letter of the same scope as this subsection 10.16), (ii) as required or

law, rule or
-63-

by any Lender; provided, further, that in no event shall any Lender be obligated
or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower.
10.17 Delivery of Documents to the Lenders. Until such time as the
Loans hereunder have been repaid in full, the Agent agrees that it shall deliver
promptly to each Lender a copy of each notice, agreement, document or other
instrument delivered to it by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of any
of the Loan Documents.
