cash received in respect of such Credit Card Account but not yet applied by a
Borrower to reduce the amount of such Credit Card Account, and (iii) the amount
of all accrued and unpaid fees owed to Credit Card Processors or Credit Card
Issuers; (c) for Real Estate, the liquidation value of such Real Estate as
determined from time to time by an independent appraiser engaged by the Agent,
which appraisal shall assume, among other things, a marketing time of not
greater than twelve (12) months or less than three (3) months; and (d) for
Contracts, the appraised value of Gross Contract Payments as set forth in the
most recent appraisal thereof as determined from time to time by an independent
appraiser engaged by the Agent.
 
1.2  Accounting Terms.  Under the Loan Documents (except as otherwise specified
herein), all accounting terms shall be interpreted, all accounting
determinations shall be made, and all financial statements shall be prepared, in
accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the most recent audited
financial statements of Borrowers delivered to Agent before the Closing Date and
using the same inventory valuation method as used in such financial statements,
except for any change required or permitted by GAAP if Borrowers’ certified
public accountants concur in such change, the change is disclosed to Agent, and
Section 10.3 is amended in a manner satisfactory to Required Lenders to take
into account the effects of the change.
 
 
 
 
28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
1.3  Uniform Commercial Code.  As used herein, the following terms are defined
in accordance with the UCC in effect in the State of New York from time to
time:  “Chattel Paper”, “Commercial Tort Claim”, “Deposit Account”, “Document”,
“Equipment”, “General Intangibles”, “Goods”, “Instrument”, “Investment
Property”, “Letter-of-Credit Right” and “Supporting Obligation”.
 
1.4  Certain Matters of Construction.  The terms “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder”
and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to
any particular section, paragraph or subdivision.  Any pronoun used shall be
deemed to cover all genders.  In the computation of periods of time from a
specified date to a later specified date, “from” means “from and including”, and
“to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”.  The terms “including” and
“include” shall mean “including, without limitation” and, for purposes of each
Loan Document, the parties agree that the rule of ejusdem generis shall not be
applicable to limit any provision.  Section titles appear as a matter of
convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any Loan
Document.  All references to (a) laws or statutes include all related rules,
regulations, interpretations, amendments and successor provisions; (b) any
document, instrument or agreement includes any amendments, waivers and other
modifications, extensions or renewals (to the extent permitted by the Loan
Documents); (c) any section means, unless the context otherwise requires, a
section of this Agreement; (d) any exhibits or schedules mean, unless the
context otherwise requires, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which are
hereby incorporated by reference; (e) any Person includes successors and
assigns; (f) time of day means time of day in the Eastern Time Zone; or (g)
except as otherwise set forth herein, discretion of Agent or any Lender means
the reasonable discretion of such Person.  All calculations of Value, fundings
of the Term Loan and payments of Obligations shall be in Dollars and, unless the
context otherwise requires, all determinations (including calculations of Term
Loan Borrowing Base and financial covenants) made from time to time under the
Loan Documents shall be made in light of the circumstances existing at such
time.  Term Loan Borrowing Base calculations shall be consistent with historical
methods of valuation and calculation, and otherwise satisfactory to Agent (and
not necessarily calculated in accordance with GAAP).  Borrowers shall have the
burden of establishing any alleged negligence, misconduct or lack of good faith
by Agent or any Lender under any Loan Documents.  No provision of any Loan
Documents shall be construed against any party by reason of such party having,
or being deemed to have, drafted the provision.  Whenever the phrase “to the
best of Borrowers’ knowledge” or words of similar import are used in any Loan
Documents, it means actual knowledge of a Senior Officer, or knowledge that a
Senior Officer would have obtained if he or she had engaged in good faith and
diligent performance of his or her duties, including reasonably specific
inquiries of employees or agents and a good faith attempt to ascertain the
matter to which such phrase relates.
 
SECTION 2.  CREDIT FACILITY
 
2.1    Term Loan.
 
2.1.1          Term Loan.  Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata basis up
to its Term Loan Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make a Term Loan
to Borrowers on the Closing Date.  The Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall
expire upon the funding by Lenders of the Term Loan.  Once repaid, whether such
repayment is voluntary or required, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.
 
 
 
 
29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
2.1.2          Term Notes.  The Term Loan made by each Lender and interest
accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender.  At
the request of any Lender, Borrowers shall deliver a Term Note to such Lender.
 
2.1.3          Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used by
Borrowers solely (a) to refinance a portion of the Borrowers’ existing 2002
Series A Variable Funding Note and the Borrowers’ 2006 Series A Notes; (b) to
pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of this credit
facility; and (c) for working capital and other lawful corporate purposes of
Borrowers.
 
2.1.4          Protective Advances.  Agent shall be authorized, with the prior
consent of the Lenders, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are not
satisfied, to make advances (“Protective Advances”) up to an aggregate amount
not to exceed at any time $10,000,000, if Agent deems such Protective Advances
necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the
collectibility or repayment of the Obligations.  Each Lender shall participate
in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis.
 
SECTION 3.  INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES
 
3.1    Interest.
 
3.1.1          Rates and Payment of Interest.
 
(a)  The Obligations shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus
the Applicable Margin. Interest shall accrue from the date the Term Loan is
advanced or the Obligation is incurred or payable, until paid by Borrowers.
 
(b)     During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower, or during
any other Event of Default if Agent or Required Lenders in their discretion so
elect, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or
after any judgment).  Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to
Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that
the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Agent and
Lenders for this.
 
(c)   Interest accrued on the Term Loan shall be due and payable in arrears, (i)
on the first day of each month beginning January 1, 2011; (ii) on any date of
prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid;
and (iii) on the Termination Date.  Interest accrued on any other Obligations
shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment
date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on
demand.
 
3.2  Fees.
 
3.2.1          Fees.  Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own benefit and for
the benefit of Lenders, as applicable, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter at
the times payable therein.
 
 
 
 
30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
3.3  Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection.  All interest, as well as
fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months.  Each determination by Agent
of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  All fees shall be fully earned
when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration.  All fees
payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall
not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or
detention of money.  A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under
Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.9, submitted to Borrower Agent by Agent or the
affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the
appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate.
 
3.4  Reimbursement Obligations.  Borrowers shall reimburse Agent and the Lenders
for all Extraordinary Expenses.  Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for all
legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other reasonable fees, costs and
expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of
any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b)
administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents, the
financial conditions of Borrowers and business of Borrowers, and transactions
contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain
priority of Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required
hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section
10.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or
Collateral, whether prepared by Agent’s personnel or a third party.  Borrowers
shall also reimburse Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection with any bank meetings facilitated by the Agent by and
among the Lenders and Borrowers.  All reasonable legal, accounting and
consulting fees shall be charged to Borrowers by Agent’s professionals.  All
amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall be due on demand.
 
3.5  Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to determine or charge interest
rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take
deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by
such Lender to Agent and the Borrower, interest on the outstanding portion of
the Term Loan shall thereafter accrue at the Base Rate.
 
3.6  Inability to Determine Rates.  If Required Lenders notify Agent for any
reason that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London
interbank Eurodollar market, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining LIBOR for any applicable month, or (c) LIBOR for any applicable
month does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding
such Term Loan, then Agent will promptly so notify Borrower Agent and each
Lender.  Thereafter, interest on the outstanding portion of the Term Loan shall
accrue at the Base Rate until Agent (upon instruction by Required Lenders)
revokes such notice.
 
3.7  Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.
 
3.7.1          Change in Law.  If any Change in Law shall:
 
(a)  impose modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender
(except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR);
 
 
 
 
31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(b)  subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to the Term Loan, or change the
basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 5.9 and the imposition of,
or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or
 
(c)  impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense affecting the Term Loan;
 
and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any portion of the Term Loan at LIBOR (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any portion of the Term Loan), or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Borrowers will
pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
 
3.7.2          Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender determines that any Change in
Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or holding company’s
capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s outstanding portion
of the Term Loan, to a level below that which such Lender or holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s and holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then
from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction
suffered.
 
3.7.3          Compensation.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to
compensate a Lender for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than nine months prior to the date that the Lender notifies Borrower Agent of
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in
Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof).
 
3.8  Mitigation; Replacement of Foreign Lender.
 
3.8.1          Mitigation.  If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or
requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if Borrowers are required to pay
additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.9, then such Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches
or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts
payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not
subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to it.  Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
 
 
 
 
32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
3.8.2          Replacement of Foreign Lender.
 
(a)  If Borrowers are obligated to make any material payments under Section 5.9
to any Foreign Lender (a “Non-Exempt Foreign Lender”), then Borrower Agent, upon
at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to Agent and the Non-Exempt
Foreign Lender, may permanently replace the Non-Exempt Foreign Lender with one
or more Eligible Assignees with the consent of Agent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) (each, a “Substitute Lender”), and the
Non-Exempt Foreign Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced
hereunder.  Such notice to replace the Non-Exempt Foreign Lender shall specify
an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15
Business Days after the date such notice is given.
 
(b)  Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Non-Exempt Foreign
Lender and each Substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and
Acceptance, subject only to the Non-Exempt Foreign Lender being repaid its Pro
Rata share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any
kind whatsoever.  If the Non-Exempt Foreign Lender shall refuse or fail to
execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective
date of such replacement, the Non-Exempt Foreign Lender shall be deemed to have
executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance.  The replacement of any
Non-Exempt Foreign Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of
Section 13.3.
 
3.9  Funding Losses.  If for any reason (other than default by a Lender) any
repayment or prepayment of any portion of the Term Loan which bears interest at
LIBOR occurs on a day other than the end of each month, then Borrowers shall pay
to Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses and
expenses that it sustains as a consequence thereof, including any loss or
expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable
to terminate deposits of matching funds, but specifically excluding any loss of
anticipated profits.  Lenders shall not be required to purchase Dollar deposits
in the London interbank market or any other offshore Dollar market to fund any
portion of the Term Loan that bears interest at LIBOR, but the provisions hereof
shall be deemed to apply as if each Lender had purchased such deposits to fund
its portion of the Term Loan that bears interest at LIBOR.
 
3.10  Maximum Interest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan
Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted
by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”).  If Agent or any Lender shall receive
interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall
be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid
principal, refunded to Borrowers.  In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum
rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a)
characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium
rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof;
and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the
total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations
hereunder.
 
SECTION 4.  LOAN ADMINISTRATION
 
4.1  [Reserved].
 
 
 
 
33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
4.2  Borrower Agent.  Each Borrower hereby designates CAI (“Borrower Agent”) as
its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents,
including delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of the
Borrowing Base Certificate and financial reports, receipt and payment of
Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions
under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants),
and all other dealings with Agent or any Lender.  Borrower Agent hereby accepts
such appointment.  Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall
be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any
notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any
Borrower.  Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a
Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower.  Each of Agent
and Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with
Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower
agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or
undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and
enforceable against it.
 
4.3  One Obligation.  The Term Loan and other Obligations shall constitute one
general obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any
Loan Document) shall be secured by Agent’s Lien upon all Collateral; provided,
however, that Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the
holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any
Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.
 
4.4  Effect of Termination.  On the Termination Date, all Obligations shall be
immediately due and payable.  All undertakings of Borrowers contained in the
Loan Documents shall survive any termination, and Agent shall retain its Liens
in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents
until Full Payment of the Obligations.  Notwithstanding Full Payment of the
Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any
Collateral unless, with respect to any damages Agent may incur as a result of
the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to Obligations, Agent receives
(a) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person whose advances are
used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent and
Lenders from any such damages; or (b) such Cash Collateral as Agent, in its
discretion, deems necessary to protect against any such damages.  The provisions
of Sections 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.9, 5.10, 12, 14.2 and this Section, and
the obligation of each Obligor and Lender with respect to each indemnity given
by it in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and
any release relating to this credit facility.
 
SECTION 5.  PAYMENTS
 
5.1  General Payment Provisions.  All payments of Obligations shall be made in
Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free of (and
without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later
than 2:00 p.m. on the due date and shall be made (except as otherwise instructed
by Agent after the Closing Date) to Agent’s account as provided on Schedule 5.1
hereto with notice of such payment provided to Agent’s office identified on
Schedule 5.1 hereto.  Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the
next Business Day.  If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to
be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the
next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in any
computation of interest and fees.
 
5.2  Repayment of Term Loan.
 
5.2.1  Payment of Principal.  All principal, interest and other amounts owing
with respect to the Term Loan shall be due and payable in full on the
Termination Date. In addition, the Borrowers may prepay the Term Loan in whole
or in part at any time and from time to time (together with any prepayment fee
then due under Section 5.2.3 hereof). Once repaid, whether such repayment is
voluntary or required, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.
 
 
 
 
34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
5.2.2  Mandatory Prepayments.
 
(a)  Concurrently with any Permitted Asset Disposition of Eligible Real Estate
pursuant to clause (e) thereof, Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan as set
forth in clause (y) of the definition thereof.
 
(b)  Concurrently with any Permitted Contract Transfer, Borrowers shall prepay
the Term Loan to the extent required by clause (i) of the definition thereof.
 
(c)  Concurrently with the Borrowers incurring any Debt permitted under clause
(b) of Section 10.2.1 hereof or pursuant to a high yield notes offering,
Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan in an amount equal to the proceeds of such
Debt.
 
(d)  Concurrently with the Borrowers incurring any Debt permitted under clause
(i) of Section 10.2.1 hereof to refinance Eligible Real Estate, Borrowers shall
prepay the Term Loan as set forth in Section 10.2.1(i).
 
5.2.3  Prepayment Fee.  If the Borrowers prepay, or are required to prepay, the
Term Loan in whole or in part, then, on the effective date of such prepayment,
the Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an amount
equal to the applicable Prepayment Fee; provided that, so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the case of prepayments
required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a) and (d) hereof, any such
prepayments (i) made prior to the second anniversary hereof in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $10,000,000 shall be subject to a Prepayment Fee equal to
one (1%) percent of the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid, and
(ii) made after the second anniversary hereof in an aggregate amount, together
with any prepayments made pursuant to clause (i) of this proviso above, not to
exceed $10,000,000 during the term hereof, shall not be subject to a Prepayment
Fee; and provided further that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, in the case of prepayments required to be made
pursuant to Section 5.2.2(b) hereof, any such prepayments made prior to the
first anniversary hereof in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 shall
be subject to a Prepayment Fee equal to two and one-half (2.5%) percent of the
principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid.  Such Prepayment Fee shall not
constitute a penalty but shall, in view of the impracticality and extreme
difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the
parties, constitute a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits as a
result thereof.
 
5.2.4  Application of Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments.  All voluntary and
mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 5.2.2 above shall be applied
first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan due under the Term
Loan FIFO Tranche, and second, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term
Loan due under the Term Loan FILO Tranche.
 
 
 
 
35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
5.3  Curative Equity.  Within 1 Business Day of the date of receipt by any
Borrower of the proceeds of any Curative Equity pursuant to Section 10.4, such
Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Obligations in accordance
with Section 5.1 in an amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of
such Curative Equity (unless such proceeds have otherwise been remitted to the
ABL Agent to prepay the Loans pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreement).
 
5.4  Payment of Other Obligations.  Obligations other than principal and
interest with respect to the Term Loan, including Extraordinary Expenses, shall
be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is
specified, on demand.
 
5.5  Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.  None of Agent or Lenders shall be under
any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any
Obligations.  If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Agent or
any Lender, or Agent or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment
or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the
extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and
all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred.
 
5.6  Post-Default Allocation of Payments.
 
5.6.1  Allocation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an
Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from
payments by Obligors, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be
allocated as follows:
 
(a)  FIRST, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing
to Agent;
 
(b)  SECOND, to all amounts owing to Agent on Protective Advances;
 
(c)  THIRD, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing
to any Lender;
 
(d)  FOURTH, to all Obligations constituting fees;
 
(e)  FIFTH, to all Obligations constituting interest;
 
(f)  SIXTH, to the outstanding principal amounts due under the Term Loan FIFO
Tranche;
 
(g)  SEVENTH, to the outstanding principal amounts due under the Term Loan FILO
Tranche;
 
(h)  EIGHTH, to all other Obligations; and
 
(i)  LAST, to the Borrowers.
 
 
 
 
36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Amounts shall be applied to each category of Obligations set forth above until
Full Payment thereof and then to the next category.  If amounts are insufficient
to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the
Obligations in the category.  The allocations set forth in this Section are
solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Secured Parties as
among themselves, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent
of any Obligor.  This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any
Borrower.
 
5.6.2  Erroneous Application.  Agent shall not be liable for any application of
amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently
determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other
Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount
from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by
any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).
 
5.7  Application of Payments.  The ledger balance in the main Dominion Account
as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations at the
beginning of the next Business Day, during any Dominion Trigger Period (unless
such balance has otherwise been remitted to the ABL Agent to prepay the Loans
pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement).  If, as a
result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not
accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers
as long as no Default or Event of Default exists.  Each Borrower irrevocably
waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral
proceeds, and agrees that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to
apply and reapply same against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent deems
advisable.
 
5.8  Loan Account; Account Stated.
 
5.8.1  Loan Account.  Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and
customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt
of Borrowers resulting from the Term Loan from time to time.  Any failure of
Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall
not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount
owing hereunder.  Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of
Borrower Agent, and each Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no
effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Obligations.
 
5.8.2  Entries Binding.  Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute
presumptive evidence of the information contained therein.  If any information
contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then
such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes
absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in
writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is
subject to dispute; provided, that payment by Borrowers to Agent of any amounts
owed hereunder which are under dispute by Borrowers shall not be deemed a waiver
of Borrowers’ right to continue such dispute.
 
5.9  Taxes.
 
5.9.1  Payments Free of Taxes.  All payments by Obligors of Obligations shall be
free and clear of and without reduction for any Taxes.  If Applicable Law
requires any Obligor or Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax (including backup
withholding or withholding Tax), the withholding or deduction shall be based on
information provided pursuant to Section 5.10 and Agent shall pay the amount
withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority.  If the withholding
or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum
payable by Borrowers shall be increased so that Agent or Lender, as applicable,
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no such
withholding or deduction (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section) had been made.  Without limiting the foregoing,
Borrowers shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authorities.
 
 
 
 
37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
5.9.2  Payment.  Borrowers shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within
10 days after demand therefor) Agent and Lenders for any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes (including those attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
withheld or deducted by any Obligor or Agent, or paid by Agent or any Lender,
with respect to any Obligations or Loan Documents, whether or not such Taxes
were properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority (provided, that
payment by Borrowers to Agent of any amounts owed hereunder which are under
dispute by Borrowers shall not be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to
continue such dispute), and including all penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses relating thereto which arise as a result of any action or inaction by
Borrowers, as well as any amount that a Lender fails to pay indefeasibly to
Agent under Section 5.10.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or
liability delivered to Borrower Agent by Agent, or by a Lender (with a copy to
Agent), shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  As soon as practicable
after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower, Borrower Agent shall deliver to Agent
a receipt from the Governmental Authority or other evidence of payment
satisfactory to Agent.
 
5.10  Lender Tax Information.
 
5.10.1  Status of Lenders.  Each Lender shall deliver documentation and
information to Agent and Borrower Agent, at the times and in the form required
by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower Agent, sufficient
to permit Agent or Borrowers to determine (a) whether or not payments made with
respect to Obligations are subject to Taxes, (b) if applicable, the required
rate of withholding or deduction, and (c) such Lender’s entitlement to any
available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes for such payments or
otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the
applicable jurisdiction.
 
5.10.2  Documentation.  If a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United
States, any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Agent and Borrower Agent IRS
Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law
or reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower Agent to determine whether such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements.  If any Foreign Lender is entitled to any exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax for payments with respect to the Obligations, it
shall deliver to Agent and Borrower Agent, on or prior to the date on which it
becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon request by
Agent or Borrower Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to
do so), (a) IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party; (b) IRS Form W-8ECI; (c) IRS Form
W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation; (d) in the case of a Foreign
Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
section 881(c) of the Code, IRS Form W-8BEN and a certificate showing such
Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, (ii) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Obligor within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; or (e) any other form prescribed
by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in
withholding tax, together with such supplementary documentation necessary to
allow Agent and Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made.
 
 
 
 
38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
5.10.3  Lender Obligations.  Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers and
Agent of any change in circumstances that would change any claimed Tax exemption
or reduction.  Each Lender shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within
10 days after demand therefor) Borrowers and Agent for any Taxes, losses,
claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by or asserted against a Borrower or Agent by any
Governmental Authority due to such Lender’s failure to deliver, or inaccuracy or
deficiency in, any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to this
Section.  Each Lender authorizes Agent to set off any amounts due to Agent under
this Section against any amounts payable to such Lender under any Loan Document.
 
5.11  Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.
 
5.11.1  Joint and Several Liability.  Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly
and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent
and Lenders the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all
agreements under the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty
obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of
collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of
the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability,
subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or
Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any
Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to
enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or
any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any Lender with
respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect
a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the
Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any Lender
in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the
insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by Agent or any Lender in an
Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as
debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g)
the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any Lender against any Obligor for
the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,
except Full Payment of all Obligations.
 
5.11.2  Waivers.
 
(a)  Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the
future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent
or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or
security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a
condition to, proceeding against such Borrower.  Each Borrower waives all
defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than
Full Payment of all Obligations.  It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and
Lenders that the provisions of this Section 5.11 are the essence of the
transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such
provisions, Agent and Lenders would decline to make the Term Loan.  Each
Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to
the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such
business.
 
 
 
 
39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(b)  Agent and Lenders may, in their sole discretion, pursue such rights and
remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral
(including any Real Estate) by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or
enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section
5.11.  If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or
remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies,
including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other
Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of
remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any
claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of
subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had.  Any election of
remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any
Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any
other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations.  Each
Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies,
such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the
Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s
rights of subrogation against any other Person.  Agent may bid all or a portion
of the Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale,
and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited
against the Obligations.  The amount of the successful bid at any such sale,
whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be
conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the
difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations
shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed
under this Section 5.11, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court
decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to
which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at
any such sale.
 
5.11.3  Extent of Liability; Contribution.
 
(a)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability
under this Section 5.11 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for
which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such
Borrower’s Allocable Amount.
 
(b)  If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.11 of any Obligations
(other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor
Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or
concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower
would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations
satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s
Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such
Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments
from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such
excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect
immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.  The “Allocable Amount” for any
Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such
Borrower under this Section 5.11 without rendering such payment voidable under
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent
transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.
 
 
 
 
40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
5.11.4  Joint Enterprise.  Each Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders
make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order
to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically.  Borrowers’
business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of
each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated
group.  Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will
enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the
facility, all to their mutual advantage.  Borrowers acknowledge that Agent’s and
Lenders’ willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a
combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at
Borrowers’ request.
 
5.11.5  Subordination.  Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including
any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any
time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all
Obligations.

No Contract or its related security shall be released from Agent’s security
interest to become a Securitized Contract unless and until Agent executes a
release releasing such Contract from Agent’s security interest.  If a
Securitized Contract is transferred from a Securitization Subsidiary back to a
Borrower, it shall cease being a Securitized Contract upon such transfer back
and, together with its related security shall again constitute Collateral
hereunder.
 
7.2  Lien on Deposit Accounts; Cash Collateral.
 
7.2.1  Deposit Accounts.  To further secure the prompt payment and performance
of all Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of
Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all amounts
credited to any Deposit Account of such Borrower, including any sums in any
blocked or lockbox accounts (if any) or in any accounts into which such sums are
swept.  Each Borrower authorizes and directs each bank or other depository to
deliver to Agent, and each Deposit Account Control Agreement shall require such
bank or other depository to deliver to Agent (unless such amounts have been
transferred to the ABL Agent pursuant to the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement
and the Intercreditor Agreement), on a daily basis during a Dominion Trigger
Period, all balances in each Deposit Account maintained by such Borrower with

7.2.2  Cash Collateral.  At the request of Borrower Agent, any Cash Collateral
shall be invested, at Agent’s discretion, in Cash Equivalents, but Agent shall
have no responsibility for any investment or loss.  Each Borrower hereby grants
to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a security interest in all Cash
Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the

renewals, modifications and proceeds thereof.
 
 
 
 
45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
7.3.3  Real Estate Collateral.  At the request of Agent, Borrowers shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent from Borrower’s landlords to
place Leasehold Mortgages upon the leased Real Estate of Borrowers.  Agent shall
hold such Leasehold Mortgages, and Agent and each Borrower agree that the
Leasehold Mortgages will not create a valid Lien in favor of Agent until the
Leasehold Mortgage is recorded as set forth below.  If any Borrower acquires a
leasehold interest in Real Estate hereafter, Borrowers agree to use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain a Leasehold Mortgage Consent from each landlord for
each such new leased Real Estate, and if such consent is obtained, upon Agent’s
request, execute and deliver a Leasehold Mortgage sufficient to create a Lien in
favor of Agent on such leased Real Estate.  Agent and Borrowers agree that any
such Leasehold Mortgage shall not create a valid Lien in favor of Agent until
the Leasehold Mortgage is recorded as set forth below.  At any time (i)
Availability is less than $30,000,000, or (ii) an Event of Default exists, at
the option of Agent the Leasehold Mortgages shall be duly recorded, at
Borrowers’ expense, in each office where such recording is required to provide
notice to third parties of Agent’s Lien on the Real Estate covered thereby.

Default or Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than
$500,000), (ii) promptly amend Schedule 9.1.16 to include such claim, and (iii)
take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to subject such claim to a duly
perfected, second priority (subject in priority only to the Lien of the ABL
Agent under the ABL Loan Documents pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) Lien
in favor of Agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties).
 
7.4.2  Certain After-Acquired Collateral.  Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent
in writing if, after the Closing Date, any Borrower obtains any interest in any
Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents,
Instruments, Intellectual Property, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit
Rights and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly take such actions as Agent
deems appropriate to effect Agent’s duly perfected, second priority (subject in
priority only to the Lien of the ABL Agent under the ABL Loan Documents pursuant
to the Intercreditor Agreement) Lien upon such Collateral, including obtaining
any appropriate possession (to the extent Agent is permitted to obtain
possession pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement), control agreement or Lien
Waiver.  If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Agent’s
request, Borrowers shall obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds
the Collateral for the benefit of Agent.
 
7.5  No Assumption of Liability.  The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is
given as security only and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any
way modify, any obligation or liability of Borrowers relating to any Collateral.
 
7.6  Further Assurances.  Promptly upon request, Borrowers shall deliver such
instruments, assignments, title certificates, or other documents or agreements,
and shall take such actions, as Agent deems appropriate under Applicable Law to
evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to
the intent of this Agreement.  Each Borrower authorizes Agent to file any
financing statement that indicates the Collateral as “all assets” or “all
personal property” of such Borrower, or words to similar effect, and ratifies
any action taken by Agent before the Closing Date to effect or perfect its Lien
on any Collateral.

as to the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing.  Upon the request of
Agent, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent (and Agent shall promptly deliver same
to Lenders) a copy of the “screen shot” showing Availability (after giving
effect to any Revolving Loans made and Letters of Credit issued under the ABL
Credit Agreement) as reflected on the ABL Agent’s system.  All calculations of
Availability in any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be made by
Borrowers and certified by a Senior Officer, provided that Agent may from time
to time review and adjust any such calculation (a) to reflect its reasonable
estimate of declines in value of any Collateral, due to collections received in
the Dominion Account or otherwise; (b) to adjust advance rates to reflect
changes in dilution, quality, mix and other factors affecting Collateral; and
(c) to the extent the calculation is not made in accordance with this Agreement
or does not accurately reflect the Term Loan Borrowing Base Reserve (as defined
in the ABL Credit Agreement).

enforceable in accordance with its terms; (ii) each existing Contract is, and
each future Contract will be, for a liquidated amount payable by the Contract
Debtor thereon on the terms set forth in the Contract therefor or in the
schedule thereof delivered to Agent, without any offset, deduction, defense
(including the defense of usury), or counterclaim; (iii) there is only one
original counterpart of the Contract executed by the Contract Debtor and any

Contract Debtor without Agent’s prior written consent, except for discounts,
credits and allowances made or given in the Ordinary Course of Business or in
compliance with the Credit and Collection Guidelines.
 
(c)  Except as provided in Borrowers’ Credit and Collection Guidelines,
Borrowers shall not accept any note or other instrument (except a check or other
instrument for the immediate payment of money) with respect to any Contract
without Agent’s written consent.  If Agent consents to the acceptance of any
such instrument, it shall be considered as evidence of the Contract and not
payment thereof and Borrowers will promptly deliver such instrument to Agent,
endorsed by the applicable Borrower to Agent in a manner satisfactory in form
and substance to Agent.  Regardless of the form of presentment, demand, notice
of protest with respect thereto, the Contract Debtor shall remain liable thereon
until such Instrument is paid in full.
 
(d)  Agent may rely, in determining which Contracts are Eligible Contracts, on
all statements and representations made by Borrowers with respect thereto.

respect to any Collateral.
 
8.2.3  Contract Verification.  Whether or not a Default or Event of Default
exists, Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of Agent, any
designee of Agent or any Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other

shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly
conclude any such verification process.
 
8.2.4  Maintenance of Dominion Account.  Borrowers shall maintain Dominion
Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements acceptable to
Agent.  Borrowers shall obtain an agreement (in form and substance satisfactory

receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold
same in trust for Agent and promptly (not later than the next Business Day)
deposit same into a Dominion Account; provided, that payments on Securitization
Contracts sold to the Securitization Subsidiary pursuant to the Permitted ABS
Purchase Agreement may be remitted to and held by the Securitization Subsidiary

produced in accordance with Applicable Law. To the best of Borrowers’ knowledge,
all of each Borrower’s Inventory is produced in accordance with the FLSA.  No
Borrower shall sell any Inventory on consignment or approval or any other basis
under which the customer may return or require a Borrower to repurchase such
Inventory.  Borrowers shall use, store and maintain all Inventory with

evidence of their ownership or interests in any Equipment.

dispose of any Equipment, without the prior written consent of Agent and

8.4.3  Condition of Equipment.  The Equipment is in good operating condition and
repair, and all necessary replacements and repairs have been made so that the
value and operating efficiency of the Equipment is preserved at all times,
reasonable wear and tear excepted.  Each Borrower shall ensure that the
Equipment is mechanically and structurally sound, and capable of performing the
functions for which it was designed, in accordance with manufacturer
specifications.  No Borrower shall permit any Equipment to become affixed to
Real Estate unless any landlord or mortgagee delivers a Lien Waiver or an
appropriate rent reserved has been established with respect thereto.
 
8.5  Administration of Deposit Accounts.  Schedule 8.5 sets forth all Deposit
Accounts maintained by Borrowers, including all Dominion Accounts.  Each
Borrower shall take all actions necessary to establish Agent’s control of each
such Deposit Account (other than an account exclusively used for payroll,
payroll taxes or employee benefits, or an account containing not more than
$10,000 at any time).  Each Borrower shall be the sole account holder of each
Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than Agent or ABL
Agent) to have control over a Deposit Account or any Property deposited

8.6.1  Credit Card Agreements.  Schedule 8.6.1 is a list of all Credit Card
Agreements as of the Closing Date.

all payments due from Credit Card Processors or Credit Card Issuers.
 
8.7  General Provisions.
 
8.7.1  Location of Collateral.  All tangible items of Collateral, other than
Inventory in transit, shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at the business
locations set forth in Schedule 8.7.1, except that Borrowers may (a) make sales
or other dispositions of Collateral in accordance with Section 10.2.6; and (b)
move Collateral to another location in the United States, upon 30 Business Days
prior written notice to Agent.
 
8.7.2  Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.
 
(a)  Each Borrower shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral,
covering casualty, hazard, theft, malicious mischief, flood and other risks, in
amounts, with endorsements and with insurers (with a Best Rating of at least A7,
unless otherwise approved by Agent) satisfactory to Agent.  Except as set forth
in the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds under each policy shall be payable
to Agent.  From time to time upon request, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the
certified copies of its insurance policies and updated flood plain
searches.  Unless Agent shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include
satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Agent as loss payee; (ii) requiring 30
days prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy
for any reason whatsoever, except 10 days notice shall be given for cancellation
due to non-payment of premium; and (iii) specifying that the interest of Agent
shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower or
the owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes
more hazardous than are permitted by the policy.  If any Borrower fails to
provide and pay for any insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be
required to, procure the insurance and charge Borrowers therefor.  Each Borrower
agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly as rendered, copies of all claims reports
made to insurance companies in excess of $1,000,000.  While no Event of Default
exists, Borrowers may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long
as the proceeds are delivered to Agent.  Except as set forth in the
Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default exists, only Agent shall be
authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

(b)  Except as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, any proceeds of
insurance (other than proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O insurance) and
any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral shall be paid to Agent
and shall be deposited in the Dominion Account.  Any such proceeds or awards
that relate to Inventory shall be applied to payment of the outstanding
Obligations (unless such proceeds have been applied to pay the Obligations under
the ABL Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement).
 
(c)  If requested by Borrowers in writing within 15 days after Agent’s receipt
of any insurance proceeds relating to any loss or destruction of Equipment,
Borrowers may use such proceeds to repair or replace such Equipment (and until
so used, the proceeds shall be held by Agent as Cash Collateral (unless held by
the ABL Agent as agent for Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement)) as long as

promptly undertaken and concluded, in accordance with plans satisfactory to

all other payments required to be made by Agent to any Person to realize upon
any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by Borrowers.  Agent shall not be liable
or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or
damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in
Agent’s actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any
act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person
whatsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk.
 
8.7.4  Defense of Title to Collateral.  Each Borrower shall at all times defend
its title to Collateral and Agent’s Liens therein against all Persons, claims

qualified, authorized to do business and in good standing as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified could

9.1.2  Power and Authority.  Each Obligor is duly authorized to execute, deliver
and perform its Loan Documents.  The execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not (a)
require any consent or approval of any holders of Equity Interests of any
Obligor, other than those already obtained; (b) contravene the Organic Documents
of any Obligor; (c) violate or cause a default under any Applicable Law or
Material Contract; or (d) result in or require the imposition of any Lien (other
than Permitted Liens) on any Property of any Obligor.
 
9.1.3  Enforceability.  Each Loan Document is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each Obligor party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.
 
 
 
 
53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
9.1.4  Capital Structure.  Schedule 9.1.4 shows, for each of Parent and its
Subsidiaries, its name, its jurisdiction of organization, its authorized and
issued Equity Interests, the holders of its Equity Interests, and all agreements
binding on such holders with respect to their Equity Interests.  Except as
disclosed on Schedule 9.1.4, in the five years preceding the Closing Date,
neither Parent nor any Subsidiary has acquired any substantial assets from any
other Person nor has been the surviving entity in a merger or
combination.  Parent has good title to its Equity Interests in its Subsidiaries,
subject only to Agent’s Lien and ABL Agent’s Lien, and all such Equity Interests
are duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  Except as set forth in Schedule
9.1.4, there are no outstanding purchase options, warrants, subscription rights,
agreements to issue or sell, convertible interests, phantom rights or powers of
attorney relating to Equity Interests of Parent or its Subsidiary.

Subsidiaries has been known as or used any corporate, fictitious or trade names,

any substantial part of the assets of any Person.  The chief executive offices
and other places of business of Parent and its Subsidiaries are shown on

9.1.6  Title to Properties; Priority of Liens.  Each of Parent and its
Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to (or valid leasehold interests in)
all of its Real Estate, and good title to all of its personal Property,
including all Property reflected in any financial statements delivered to Agent
or Lenders, in each case free of Liens except Permitted Liens and minor defects
in title to its Real Estate that do not interfere with its ability to conduct
its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their
intended purpose.  Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries has paid and discharged
all lawful claims that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its Properties, other
than Permitted Liens.  All Liens of Agent in the Collateral consisting of
Eligible Real Estate are duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to

and related statements of income, cash flow and shareholder’s equity, of Parent
and its Subsidiaries that have been and are hereafter delivered to Agent and
Lenders, are prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the financial
positions and results of operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries at the dates

Agent and Lenders have been prepared in good faith, based on reasonable
assumptions in light of the circumstances at such time.  Since July 31, 2010,
there has been no change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of Parent or
any of its Subsidiaries (when taken as a whole) that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No financial statement delivered to
Agent or Lenders at any time contains any untrue statement of a material fact,
nor fails to disclose any material fact necessary to make such statement not
materially misleading.  Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries are Solvent.

and local tax returns and other reports that it is required by law to file, and
has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all Taxes upon it, its income
and its Properties that are due and payable, except to the extent being Properly
Contested.  The provision for Taxes on the books of each Parent and its
Subsidiaries is adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes, and
for its current Fiscal Year.

investment banking fees payable in connection with any transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents.
 
9.1.11  Intellectual Property.  Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries own or has
the lawful right to use all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of
its business, without conflict with any rights of others except for any such
conflict of infringement that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There is no pending
or, to Parent’s or any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened Intellectual Property
Claim with respect to Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Property
(including any Intellectual Property).  Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.11,
neither Parent nor its Subsidiaries pays or owes any Royalty or other

interests of, Parent or its Subsidiaries is shown on Schedule 9.1.11.
 
9.1.12  Governmental Approvals.  Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries have, is in
compliance with, and is in good standing with respect to, all Governmental
Approvals necessary to conduct its business and to own, lease and operate its
Properties.  To the best of each Borrowers’ knowledge, all necessary import,
export or other licenses, permits or certificates for the import or handling of
any goods or other Collateral have been procured and are in effect, and Parent
and its Subsidiaries have complied with all foreign and domestic laws with

complied, and its Properties and business operations are in compliance, in all
material respects with all Applicable Law (including all consumer credit
disclosure laws and regulations), except where noncompliance could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There have been no
citations, notices or orders of material noncompliance issued to Parent or its
Subsidiaries under any Applicable Law.  To the best of Borrowers’ knowledge no
Inventory has been produced in violation of the FLSA.
 
9.1.14  Compliance with Environmental Laws.  Except as disclosed on Schedule
9.1.14, neither Parent’s nor its Subsidiary’s past or present operations, Real
Estate or other Properties are subject to any federal, state or local
investigation to determine whether any remedial action is needed to address any
environmental pollution, hazardous material or environmental clean-up.  Neither
Parent nor its Subsidiaries have received any Environmental Notice.  Neither
Parent nor its Subsidiaries have any contingent liability with respect to any
Environmental Release, environmental pollution or hazardous material on any Real
Estate now or previously owned, leased or operated by it.

or subject to any contract, agreement or charter restriction that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither Parent nor

knowledge, threatened against Parent or its Subsidiaries, or any of their
businesses, operations, Properties, prospects or conditions, that (a) relate to
any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby; or (b) could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if determined adversely to Parent
or its Subsidiaries.  Except as shown on such Schedule, no Obligor has a
Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Default or Event of Default
exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $100,000).  Neither Parent nor its
Subsidiaries are in default with respect to any order, injunction or judgment of
any Governmental Authority.
 
9.1.17  No Defaults.  No event or circumstance has occurred or exists that
constitutes a Default or Event of Default.  Neither Parent nor its Subsidiaries
are in default, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that with
the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a default, under any
Material Contract or in the payment of any Borrowed Money.  There is no basis
upon which any party (other than a Parent or its Subsidiaries) could terminate a
Material Contract prior to its scheduled termination date.
 
9.1.18  ERISA.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.18:
 
(a)  Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of ERISA, the Code, and other federal and state laws.  Each Plan that

currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the knowledge
of Parent and Borrowers, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the

has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has

Multiemployer Plan; and (v) no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a
transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

contributions required by law or by the terms of the Foreign Plan have been
made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance with normal accounting
practices; (ii) the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan,
the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance, or
the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued

with its officers, employees, agents, advisors and independent accountants
Parent’s or such Subsidiary’s business, financial condition, assets, prospects

inspection, at their own expense.  Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any
duty to Parent or any Borrower to make any inspection, nor to share any results
of any inspection, appraisal or report with Parent or any Borrower.  Borrowers
acknowledge that all inspections, appraisals and reports are prepared by Agent
and Lenders for their purposes, and Parent and Borrowers shall not be entitled

and Borrowers specifically agree to pay Agent’s then standard charges for each
day that an employee of Agent or its Affiliates is engaged in any examination
activities, and shall pay the standard charges of Agent’s internal appraisal
group.  This Section shall not be construed to limit Agent’s right to conduct
examinations or to obtain appraisals at any time in its discretion, nor to use
third parties for such purposes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to
the contrary contained herein, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Agent shall not undertake any appraisals of Inventory so long as

Year using an appraiser and methodology reasonably acceptable to Agent, and has
shared the results of such appraisals taken under the ABL Credit Agreement with
the Agent; provided that, in the event that the ABL Agent has not undertaken
such Inventory appraisals using an appraiser and methodology reasonably
acceptable to Agent and/or has not shared such results with the Agent, the Agent
may undertake an amount of Inventory appraisals equal to (i) three (3) minus
(ii) such number of Inventory appraisals using an appraiser and methodology
reasonably acceptable to Agent undertaken by the ABL Agent and shared with the
Agent in such time period (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is

other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Agent, such Lender
or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of an Obligor against any
Obligations, irrespective of whether or not Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch
or office of Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate different from the branch or

SECTION 12.  AGENT
 
12.1  Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.
 
12.1.1  Appointment and Authority.  Each Secured Party appoints and designates
GA Capital, LLC as Agent under all Loan Documents.  Agent may, and each Secured
Party authorizes Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is
intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for Agent’s benefit
and the benefit of Secured Parties.  Each Secured Party agrees that any action
taken by Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Documents, and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or
remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental
thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and
exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for
Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with
the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document,
including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of
each Loan Document from any Obligor or other Person; (c) act as collateral agent
for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the
Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise
or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) take any Enforcement Action or
otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under
the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise.  The duties of Agent shall be
ministerial and administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have a fiduciary
relationship with any Lender, Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by
reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto.  Agent alone
shall be authorized to determine whether any Contract or Inventory constitute
Eligible Contracts or Eligible Inventory, whether any Real Estate constitutes
Eligible Real Estate, or whether to impose or release any reserve, which
determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent
from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.
 
 
 
 
72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
12.1.2 Duties.  Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth
in the Loan Documents.  The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a
duty on Agent’s part to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by
Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.
 
12.1.3  Agent Professionals.  Agent may perform its duties through agents and
employees.  Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be
entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good
faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional.  Agent shall not
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or
Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.
 
12.1.4  Instructions of Required Lenders.  The rights and remedies conferred
upon Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of
joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law.  Agent may
request instructions from Required Lenders or other Secured Parties with respect
to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents,
and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Secured Parties of their
indemnification obligations against all Claims that could be incurred by Agent
in connection with any act.  Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act
until it has received such instructions or assurances, and Agent shall not incur
liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.  Instructions of Required
Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall
have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or
refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required
Lenders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of all
Lenders or Secured Parties shall be required in the circumstances described in
Section 14.1.1, and in no event shall Required Lenders, without the prior
written consent of each Lender, direct Agent to accelerate and demand payment of
any portion of the Term Loan held by one Lender without accelerating and
demanding payment of the entire Term Loan.  In no event shall Agent be required
to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any
Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.
 
 
 
 
73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
12.2  Agreements Regarding Collateral and Field Examination Reports.
 
12.2.1  Lien Releases; Care of Collateral.  Secured Parties authorize Agent to
release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the
Obligations; (b) that is the subject of an Asset Disposition which Borrowers
certify in writing to Agent is a Permitted Asset Disposition or a Lien which
Borrowers certify is a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Agent’s Liens
(and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further
inquiry); (c) that does not constitute Collateral with a book value greater than
$5,000,000 in the aggregate released during any 6 month period (other than with
respect to owned Real Estate); or (d) with the written consent of all
Lenders.  Secured Parties authorize Agent to subordinate their Liens to any
Purchase Money Lien permitted hereunder.  Agent shall have no obligation to
assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower, or is cared for,
protected or insured, nor to assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly
created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor
to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.
 
12.2.2  Possession of Collateral.  Agent and Secured Parties appoint each Lender
as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting
Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such
Liens are perfected by possession or control.  If any Lender obtains possession
or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon
Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with it in
accordance with Agent’s instructions.
 
12.2.3  Reports.  Agent shall promptly forward to each Lender, when complete,
copies of any field audit, examination or appraisal prepared by or for Agent
with respect to any Obligor or Collateral (“Report”).  Each Lender agrees (a)
that neither GA Capital, LLC nor Agent makes any representation or warranty as
to the accuracy or completeness of any Report, and shall not be liable for any
information contained in or omitted from any Report; (b) that the Reports are
not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any
other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific
information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly
upon Borrowers’ books and records as well as upon representations of Borrowers’
officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly
for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the
contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys
and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of
the Obligations.  Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any
other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result
of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as from any Claims
arising as a direct or indirect result of Agent furnishing a Report to such
Lender.
 
12.3  Reliance By Agent.  Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication
(including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person, and upon the advice and statements of Agent Professionals.
 
 
 
 
74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
12.4  Action Upon Default.  Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
Default or Event of Default unless it has received written notice from a Lender
or Borrower specifying the occurrence and nature thereof.  If any Lender
acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify
Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing.  Each Lender agrees that, except
as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Agent
and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate
Obligations or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable
Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions
of Collateral.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Secured Party may take
action to preserve or enforce its rights against an Obligor where a deadline or
limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement
of Obligations held by such Secured Party, including the filing of proofs of
claim in an Insolvency Proceeding.
 
12.5  Ratable Sharing.  If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of
any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of
such Obligation, determined in accordance with Section 5.2.4 or Section 5.6.1
with respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan FIFO Tranche or Term Loan
FILO Tranche, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Agent and
the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are
necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or
reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.1, as
applicable.  If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from
the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  No Lender shall
set off against any Dominion Account without the prior consent of Agent.
 
12.6  Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees.  EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND
HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS (BUT
WITHOUT LIMITING THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF OBLIGORS UNDER ANY LOAN
DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR
ASSERTED AGAINST ANY AGENT INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THE CLAIM RELATES TO OR ARISES
FROM AN AGENT INDEMNITEE ACTING AS OR FOR AGENT (IN ITS CAPACITY AS AGENT).  In
Agent’s sole discretion, it may reserve for any such Claims made against an
Agent Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating
thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of
Collateral proceeds to Secured Parties.  If Agent is sued by any receiver,
bankruptcy trustee, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged
preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Agent in settlement
or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be
promptly reimbursed to Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata
share.  In no event shall any Lender have any obligation hereunder to indemnify
or hold harmless any Agent Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined
in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to
result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee.
 
12.7  Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent.  Agent shall not be liable to any
Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan
Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  Agent does not assume any responsibility for
any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor, Lender or
other Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents.  Agent does not
make to Secured Parties any express or implied warranty, representation or
guarantee with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or
Obligor.  No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured Parties for any
recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in
any Loan Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or
enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability,
collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or
the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity,
enforceability or collectibility of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities,
financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal
status of any Obligor or Contract Debtor.  No Agent Indemnitee shall have any
obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of
any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Obligor of
any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent
contained in any Loan Documents.

bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding is commenced by GA Capital, LLC
under any state or federal law and an order has been entered for relief under
the Bankruptcy Code, or any other insolvency, debtor relief or debt adjustment
law in favor of GA Capital, LLC. Upon receipt of such notice or upon such
removal, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent
which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a Person is
organized under the laws of the United States or any state or district thereof
and (provided no Default or Event of Default exists) is reasonably acceptable to
Borrowers.  If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of
the resignation or removal, as applicable, of Agent, then Agent may appoint a
successor agent from among Lenders, or if no Lender accepts such role, Agent may
appoint Required Lenders as successor agent.  Upon acceptance by a successor
Agent of an appointment to serve as Agent hereunder, or upon appointment of
Required Lenders as successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring
Agent without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the
indemnification set forth in Sections 12.6 and 14.2.  Notwithstanding any
Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect
for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while Agent.  Any successor to GA Capital, LLC by merger or acquisition of stock
or this loan shall continue to be Agent hereunder without further act on the
part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns or is removed as
provided above.
 
12.8.2  Separate Collateral Agent.  It is the intent of the parties that there
shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of
financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction.  If Agent
believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under
the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, Agent may appoint an additional
Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral
agent.  If Agent so appoints a collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each
right and remedy intended to be available to Agent under the Loan Documents
shall also be vested in such separate agent.  Every covenant and obligation
necessary to the exercise thereof by such agent shall run to and be enforceable
by it as well as Agent.  Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents as
Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent.  If any
collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable
of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent,
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by
Agent until appointment of a new agent.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
12.9  Due Diligence and Non-Reliance.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that
it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lenders, and
based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision
to enter into this Agreement and to make its portion of the Term Loan
hereunder.  Each Secured Party has made such inquiries concerning the Loan
Documents, the Collateral and each Obligor as such Secured Party feels
necessary.  Each Secured Party further acknowledges and agrees that the other
Secured Parties and Agent have made no representations or warranties concerning
any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or
enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations.  Each Secured Party will,
independently and without reliance upon the other Secured Parties or Agent, and
based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems
appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions
in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents.  Except for
notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Agent
shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any
notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Obligor or any credit
or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or
Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into
possession of Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates.
 
12.10  Replacement of Certain Lenders.  If a Lender fails, within 10 days after
request by Borrowers, to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for
which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, then,
in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, Agent
may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such
Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to
Eligible Assignee(s) specified by Agent, pursuant to appropriate Assignment and
Acceptance(s) and within 20 days after Agent’s notice.  Agent is irrevocably
appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if
the Lender fails to execute same.  Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in
cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan
Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of
assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).
 
12.11  Remittance of Payments and Collections.
 
12.11.1  Remittances Generally.  All payments by any Secured Party to Agent
shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in
immediately available funds.  If no time for payment is specified or if payment
is due on demand by Agent and request for payment is made by Agent by 11:00 a.m.
on a Business Day, payment shall be made by such Secured Party not later than
2:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m., then payment
shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day.  Payment by Agent to any
Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by
Agent.  Any such payment shall be subject to Agent’s right of offset for any
amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.
 
12.11.2  Failure to Pay.  If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due
by it to Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest
from the due date until paid at the rate determined by Agent as customary in the
banking industry for interbank compensation.  In no event shall Borrowers be
entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to Agent.
 
 
 
 
77

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
12.11.3  Recovery of Payments.  If Agent pays any amount to a Secured Party in
the expectation that a related payment will be received by Agent from an Obligor
and such related payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount
from each Secured Party that received it.  If Agent determines at any time that
an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to an Obligor or
paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then,
notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, Agent shall not be required
to distribute such amount to any Lender.  If any amounts received and applied by
Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by Agent pursuant to
Applicable Law, each Secured Party shall pay to Agent, on demand, such Secured
Party’s pro rata share of the amounts required to be returned.
 
12.12  No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Section 12 is an agreement solely
among Lenders and Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the
Obligations.  This Section 12 does not confer any rights or benefits upon
Borrowers or any other Person.  As between Borrowers and Agent, any action that
Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall
be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Lenders.
 
12.13  Agent Titles.   Each Lender that is designated (on the cover page of this
Agreement or otherwise) by GA Capital, LLC as an “Agent” or “Syndication Agent”
or any other agent of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility
or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and
shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other
Lenders.
 
SECTION 13.  BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS
 
13.1  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of Borrowers, Agent, Lenders, Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns, except that (a) no Borrower shall have the right to
assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; and (b)
any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3.  Agent
may treat the Person which made any portion of the Term Loan as the owner of
such portion of the Term Loan for all purposes until such Person makes an
assignment in accordance with Section 13.3.  Any authorization or consent of a
Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee
of such Lender.
 
13.2  Participations.
 
13.2.1  Permitted Participants; Effect.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary course
of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to a
financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and
obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents.  Despite any sale by a
Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations
under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations,
such Lender shall remain the holder of its portion of the Term Loan for all
purposes, all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if such Lender
had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the
Loan Documents.  Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its
Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Agent and the other
Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant.  A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless Borrowers agree otherwise in
writing.
 
 
 
 
78

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
13.2.2  Voting Rights.  Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve,
without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other
modification of any Loan Documents other than that which forgives principal,
interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect
to the Term Loan in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the
Termination Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of
principal, interest or fees on the Term Loan, or releases any Borrower,
Guarantor or substantial portion of the Collateral.
 
13.2.3  Benefit of Set-Off.  Borrowers agree that each Participant shall have a
right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as
if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also
retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by
it.  By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with
Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section
12.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.
 
13.3  Assignments.
 
13.3.1  Permitted Assignments.  A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any
of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each
assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor
Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a
partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount (other than with respect to
any assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender) of $2,500,000 (unless otherwise
agreed by Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
excess of that amount; and (b) the parties to each such assignment shall execute
and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and
Acceptance.  Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or
assign any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve
Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation
A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal
Reserve Bank, or counterparties to swap agreements relating to any portion of
the Term Loan; provided, however, that any payment by Borrowers to the assigning
Lender in respect of any Obligations assigned as described in this sentence
shall satisfy Borrowers’ obligations hereunder to the extent of such payment,
and no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations
hereunder.
 
13.3.2  Effect; Effective Date.  Upon delivery to Agent of an assignment notice
in the form of Exhibit C and a processing fee of $5,000 (unless otherwise agreed
by Agent in its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified
in the notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3.  From such effective date,
the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan
Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender
thereunder.  Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Agent
and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement
and/or new Notes, as applicable.  The transferee Lender shall comply with
Section 5.10 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire
satisfactory to Agent.
 
 
 
 
79

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
SECTION 14.  MISCELLANEOUS
 
14.1  Consents, Amendments and Waivers.
 
14.1.1  Amendment.  No modification of any Loan Document, including any
extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of
Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Agent (with
the consent of Required Lenders) and each Obligor party to such Loan Document;
provided, however, that
 
(a)  without the prior written consent of Agent, no modification shall be
effective with respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any
rights, duties or discretion of Agent;
 
(b)  without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, no modification
shall be effective that would reduce the amount of, or waive or delay payment
of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender;
 
(c)  without the prior written consent of all Lenders, no modification shall be
effective that would (i) extend the Termination Date; (ii) alter Section 5.2.2,
5.2.4, 5.6, 7.1 (except to add Collateral), 10.3.3 or 14.1.1; (iii) amend the
definitions of Term Loan FIFO Tranche, Term Loan FIFO Lender, Pro Rata, Required
Lenders or Term Loan Borrowing Base (or any defined terms used in such
definitions) (provided that the Agent shall be able to establish new Reserves
after the Closing Date in its discretion and thereafter shall be able to modify
and/or remove such Reserves in its discretion); (iv) increase any advance rate;
(vi) release Collateral except as currently contemplated by the Loan Documents;
or (vii) release any Obligor from liability for any Obligations, if such Obligor
has material assets at the time of the release; and
 
(d)  without the prior written consent of all Lenders, no modification shall be
effective that would amend the definition of Permitted Distributions.
 
14.1.2  Limitations.  The agreement of Borrowers shall not be necessary to the
effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the
rights and duties of Lenders and/or Agent as among themselves.  Only the consent
of the parties to the Fee Letter or the Intercreditor Agreement shall be
required for any modification of such agreement, as applicable.  Any waiver or
consent granted by Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in
writing, and only for the matter specified.
 
14.1.3  Payment for Consents.  No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay any
remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee
or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as
consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan
Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same
terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.
 
14.2  Indemnity.  EACH BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE
INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY
INDEMNITEE BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE
NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE.  In no event shall any party to a Loan Document
have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with
respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.
 
 
 
 
80

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
14.3  Notices and Communications.
 
14.3.1  Notice Address.  All notices and other communications by or to a party
hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Borrower, at Borrower
Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at
its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who
becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment
and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by
notice in accordance with this Section 14.3.  Each such notice or other
communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission,
when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt
is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S.
mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or
(c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address
with receipt acknowledged.  Any written notice or other communication that is
not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be
effective on the date actually received by the noticed party.  Any notice
received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Borrowers.
 
14.3.2  Electronic Communications; Voice Mail.  Electronic mail and internet
websites may be used only for routine communications, such as financial
statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information required by
Section 10.1.2, administrative matters, and distribution of Loan Documents for
execution.  Agent and Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and security
of electronic communications.  Electronic and voice mail may not be used as
effective notice under the Loan Documents.
 
14.3.3  Non-Conforming Communications.  Agent and Lenders may rely upon any
notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if such notices
were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not
confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from
a later confirmation.  Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each
Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any
telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower.
 
14.4  Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations.  Agent may, in its sole discretion
at any time and from time to time, at Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do
any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully
requested by Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations;
(b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or
maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including
any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or
processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien.  All payments,
costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this
Section shall be reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers, on demand, with interest from
the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate.  Any
payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without
prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other
rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.
 
 
 
 
81

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
14.5  Credit Inquiries.  Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders (but
they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit
inquiries from third parties concerning any Borrower or its Subsidiary.
 
14.6  Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law.  If any
provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective
only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan
Documents shall remain in full force and effect.
 
14.7  Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms.  The provisions of the Loan
Documents are cumulative.  The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may
use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and
they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as
provided.  Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific
reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision
contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan
Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.
 
14.8  Counterparts.  Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute a single contract.  This Agreement shall become effective when Agent
has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties
hereto.  Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other
electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of such agreement.
 
14.9  Entire Agreement.  Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.  The Loan
Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
 
14.10  Relationship with Lenders.  The obligations of each Lender hereunder are
several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other
Lender.  Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and
independent debt.  It shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be
joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes.  Nothing in
this Agreement and no action of Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party
pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Agent
and Lenders to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of
entity, nor to constitute control of any Borrower.
 
14.11  No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects
of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrowers acknowledge and
agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other
services by Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are
arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrowers and such Person; (ii)
Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax
advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrowers are
capable of evaluating and understanding, and do understand and accept, the
terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents; (b) each of Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and
has been acting solely as a principal in connection with this credit facility,
is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrowers, any of their
Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth
therein; and (c) Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be
engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from
those of Borrowers and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any
of such interests to Borrowers or their Affiliates.  To the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims
that it may have against Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with
respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in
connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.
 
 
 
 
82

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
14.12  Confidentiality.  Each of Agent and Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided
such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and
instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any
governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable
Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto;
(e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or
remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any
Transferee; (g) with the consent of Borrower Agent; or (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) is available to Agent, any Lender or any of their
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than
Borrowers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may publish or
disseminate general information describing this credit facility, including the
names and addresses of Borrowers and a general description of Borrowers’
businesses, and may use Borrowers’ logos, or trademarks in advertising
materials.  As used herein, “Information” means all information received from an
Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business that is identified as
confidential when delivered.  Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have
complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own
confidential information.  Each of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank acknowledges
that (i) Information may include material non-public information concerning an
Obligor or Subsidiary; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the
use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material
non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including federal and
state securities laws.
 
14.13  Intentionally Omitted.
 
14.14  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS
OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.
 
14.15  Consent to Forum; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
 
14.15.1  Forum.  EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER NEW YORK, NEW
YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS,
AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH
COURT.  EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES
THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION,
VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM.  EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE
OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 14.3.1.  Nothing herein
shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any
Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in
any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed to preclude enforcement by Agent of any judgment or order obtained in
any forum or jurisdiction.
 
 
 
 
83

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
14.15.2  Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
 
14.16  Waivers by Borrowers.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
each Borrower waives (a) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment,
default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or
renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper
and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which a Borrower may in any way be
liable, and hereby ratifies anything Agent may do in this regard; (b) notice
prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (c) any bond or
security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Agent to exercise
any rights or remedies; (d) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and
exemption laws; (e) any claim against Agent or any Lender, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement
Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (f)
notice of acceptance hereof.  Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing
waivers are a material inducement to Agent and Lenders entering into this
Agreement and that Agent and Lenders are relying upon the foregoing in their
dealings with Borrowers.  Each Borrower has reviewed the foregoing waivers with
its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and
other rights following consultation with legal counsel.  In the event of
litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the
court.
 
 
 
 
84

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
14.17  Patriot Act Notice.  Agent and Lenders hereby notify Borrowers that
pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, Agent and Lenders are required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower,
including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will
allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot
Act.  Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal
guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Borrowers’ management
and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of
birth.
 
14.19    Intercreditor Agreement.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints,
designates and authorizes Agent to enter into and become bound by the
Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf
under the provisions thereof.  Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the
terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement and agrees that it shall not
take any action that is prohibited by the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement.  No further consent or approval on the part of any Lender is or will
be required in connection with the performance by the Agent of the Intercreditor
Agreement.  The Parent, the Borrowers, Agent and Lenders acknowledge that the
exercise of certain of Agents’ rights and remedies hereunder are subject to, and
restricted by, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Except as
specified herein, nothing contained in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be
deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, which, as among the Parent, the Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall
remain in full force and effect.

November 30, 2010
 $________________

 
CONN APPLIANCES, INC., a Texas corporation, CONN CREDIT I, LP, a Texas limited
partnership, and CONN CREDIT CORPORATION, INC., a Texas corporation
(collectively, “Borrowers”), for value received, hereby unconditionally promise
to pay, on a joint and several basis, to the order of
____________________________ (“Lender”), the principal sum of
______________________________ DOLLARS ($___________), representing such amount
advanced by Lender as a portion of the Term Loan under the Loan Agreement
described below, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  Terms
are used herein as defined in the Term Loan and Security Agreement dated as of
November 30, 2010, among Borrowers, GA Capital, LLC, as Agent, and the Lenders
party thereto, as such agreement may be amended, modified, renewed or extended
from time to time (“Loan Agreement”).
 
Principal of and interest on this Note from time to time outstanding shall be
due and payable as provided in the Loan Agreement.  This Note is issued pursuant
to and evidences a portion of the Term Loan under the Loan Agreement, to which
reference is made for a statement of the rights and obligations of Lender and
the duties and obligations of Borrowers.  The Loan Agreement contains provisions
for acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain
stated events, and for the borrowing, prepayment and reborrowing of amounts upon
specified terms and conditions.
 
The holder of this Note is hereby authorized by Borrowers to record on a
schedule annexed to this Note (or on a supplemental schedule) the amounts owing
with respect to such portion of the Term Loan, and the payment thereof.  Failure
to make any notation, however, shall not affect the rights of the holder of this
Note or any obligations of Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan
Documents.
 
Time is of the essence of this Note.  Each Borrower and all endorsers, sureties
and guarantors of this Note hereby severally waive demand, presentment for
payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate the
maturity of this Note, diligence in collecting, the bringing of any suit against
any party, and any notice of or defense on account of any extensions, renewals,
partial payments, or changes in any manner of or in this Note or in any of its
terms, provisions and covenants, or any releases or substitutions of any
security, or any delay, indulgence or other act of any trustee or any holder
hereof, whether before or after maturity.  Borrowers jointly and severally agree
to pay, and to save the holder of this Note harmless against, any liability for
the payment of all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable
attorneys’ fees) if this Note is collected by or through an attorney-at-law.
 
 
 
Exhibit A
1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid
to the holder of this Note for the use, forbearance or detention of money
advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under Applicable
Law.  If any such excess amount is inadvertently paid by Borrowers or
inadvertently received by the holder of this Note, such excess shall be returned
to Borrowers or credited as a payment of principal, in accordance with the Loan
Agreement.  It is the intent hereof that Borrowers not pay or contract to pay,
and that holder of this Note not receive or contract to receive, directly or
indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be
paid by Borrowers under Applicable Law.
 
This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to any conflict of law principles.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Term Note is executed as of the date set forth above.
