judgment and discretion, to: (a) apply reserves and increase or decrease such
reserves from time to time, (b) increase or decrease the advance rate set forth
in Section 2.1, (c) determine that one or more Accounts are not Eligible

intention to adjust the Credit Facility as provided herein.

 

2.4.            Repayment of Credit Facility. Advances under the Credit Facility
may be repaid and re-borrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof. The
outstanding balance of the Credit Facility shall be due and payable on the
Termination Date, subject to acceleration or early termination as herein

of all Accounts that payments and remittances are to be made directly to Lender
or as otherwise directed by Lender. Such notification shall take the form of
remittance instructions on all invoices that direct payments to Lender’s address
or a Deposit Account under Lender’s control (a “Controlled Account”). Borrower

utilized by Borrower and computer or on-line screen access to Borrower’s Deposit
Accounts (to the extent the depository banks have operational capability) and by
executing and delivering to Lender such instructions to Obligors and other

Controlled Account) shall be deemed received on the immediately following
Business Day. At the option of Lender, all payments on account of the Credit
Facility may be first applied to expenses (a hereinafter defined), then to
accrued and unpaid interest and then to the principal balance thereof. Borrower
shall pay expenses, principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder
without any deduction, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Lender’s records of
advances and payments under the Credit Facility shall be deemed correct and
binding upon Borrower.

 

2.8.            Turnover of Collections. Any collections of Accounts or proceeds
of other Collateral received by Borrower shall be held in trust for the benefit
of Lender pursuant to an express trust created hereby and shall be remitted
promptly, in the form received, to the Controlled Account or a related lockbox
or directly to Lender via overnight delivery, as the case may be. No such funds
received by Borrower shall be deposited or commingled with other funds of
Borrower. If any item in payment of such collections or proceeds is not
delivered to Lender within five (5) calendar days of receipt, or any remittance
received by electronic transfer is not transferred by wire to the Controlled
Account within five (5) calendar days of receipt, a Diversion of Payment Fee
equal to 15% of the amount of such collection or proceeds will become
immediately due and payable by Borrower (in addition to and not in lieu of any
other fees and interest provided for in this Agreement). Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that compliance with the terms of this Section 2.8 is essential and
that Lender will suffer immediate and irreparable injury and have no adequate
remedy at law if Borrower fails to comply with the provisions hereof.
Accordingly, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder,
Lender shall have the right to seek specific performance of the Borrower’s
obligations under this Section 2.8 and any other equitable relief as Lender may
deem necessary or appropriate, and Borrower waives any requirement for the
posting of a bond in connection with such equitable relief.

paid by the next Business Day after demand, Borrower shall pay (in addition to
and not in lieu of any other fees and interest provided for in this Agreement)
an Overadvance Fee in an amount equal to the higher of (a) $500 per day or (b)
an amount equivalent to the Overadvance times the Default Rate from the date
such Overadvance arose to and including the date of payment of such Overadvance
(computed on the basis of a 360 day year and applied to actual days elapsed).

or, if remittance is not yet due, have been collected and are being held by
Borrower in a segregated account for timely remittance to the taxing
authorities.

 

(f)                The representations and warranties made by Borrower in the
Credit Documents and all financial or other information delivered to Lender with

Account.

 

(j)                 The Account does not include late charges or finance
charges.

 

(k)               To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no fact or circumstance

information is dated or certified. There is no fact now known to any officer of

furnishes management, financing, accounting, administrative, insurance and other
services to each Borrower which are necessary for the operation by each Borrower

Borrowers. Superior has the ability to maintain a combined general ledger for
all Borrowers, and financial statements are prepared on a consolidating as well
as a consolidated basis. All Borrowers benefit from Superior furnishing such
services to it because, among other things, the economics of the combined size
of Borrowers may result in a lower price for the cost of goods and services than
would be otherwise charged if such goods and services were obtained separately.

 

6.30.        Interrelated Businesses. Borrowers make up a related organization
of entities such that any benefit received by any one of them benefits the
others. Each Borrower may from time to time make purchases from, sales to, and

Borrowers. Borrowers have centralized legal services maintained and paid for by
Superior and common officers and directors, and are identified to creditors as a
single interrelated entity.

that payment of a Tax may be deferred if such Tax is being contested in good
faith, by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted,
adequate reserve or other appropriate provision has been made in conformity with

a Lien on any Property of Borrower. Borrower will furnish to Lender (and will
cause each Guarantor to furnish to Lender) copies of all federal and state
income Tax returns within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof. At the
request of Lender, Borrower will furnish to Lender (and will cause each

Borrower replaces in the ordinary course of business, or as permitted by Section
8.3(b).

 

7.11.        Commercial Tort Claims. Borrower shall provide written notice to
Lender of any Commercial Tort Claim to which Borrower is or becomes a party or

modify, or withdraw, terminate or re-file such IRS Form. In connection with the

ARTICLE X – RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

 

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, any agreement by Lender to make
Advances under the Credit Facility shall terminate, at Lender’s election, all
Obligations (including, without limitation, the Termination Fee and any other
make-whole payment) shall be and become immediately due and payable without
prior notice and/or demand, and Lender may take any or all of the following
actions, without presentment, demand, protest or any other action or obligation
of Lender.

 

10.1.        Enumeration of Remedies. In addition to all other rights and
remedies available to Lender under the UCC or other applicable law, and
contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Lender may exercise
the following rights and remedies:

 

(a)                Notify all Obligors to make all payments directly to Lender;

 

(b)               Take control of any funds or Proceeds generated by the
Accounts and reduce any part of Borrower’s Obligations to Lender in such order
as Lender determines;

immediately due and payable and enforce payment and performance of such
Obligations and Indebtedness;

 

(e)                Take control over Borrower’s books and records;

 

(f)                With or without court order (and without interference by
Borrower), enter any or all of Borrower’s premises and take possession of the
Collateral, or render it unusable, or dispose of the Collateral on such
premises, without any liability to Borrower for rent, storage, utilities or
other sums, or require Borrower, at its own expense, to assemble all or any part
of the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by
Lender;

 

(g)               Exercise all rights of setoff and recoupment; and

 

Dispose of Collateral at one or more public or private dispositions, Borrower
hereby agreeing that notice received by it at least 10 days before the time of
any intended public sale or of the time, after which any private sale or other
disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable
notice of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by applicable law, any
perishable Inventory or other Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in
value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Lender
without prior notice to Borrower.

 

10.1.        Additional Provisions. Borrower covenants and agrees not to
interfere with or impose any obstacle to Lender’s exercise of its rights and
remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Lender shall have no
obligation to clean up or prepare the Collateral for sale except as is required
by applicable law. If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower
will only be credited with payments actually made to Lender that are received by
Lender and applied to the Obligations. Lender may in connection with any sale of
the Collateral specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. In the
exercise of any right or remedy, Lender is granted a non-revocable, royalty
free, nonexclusive license and permission to use all of Borrower’s Proprietary
Rights which are used or useful in connection with disposition of any of the
Collateral.

 

10.2.        Nature of Remedies. All rights and remedies granted Lender
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, or otherwise available at law or
in equity, shall be deemed concurrent and cumulative, and not alternative
remedies, and Lender may proceed with any number of remedies at the same time or
at different times until all Obligations are satisfied in full. The exercise of
any one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other
right or remedy, and Lender, upon or at any time after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, may proceed against Borrower, any Guarantor, or their Property
at any time, under any agreement, with any available remedy and in any order.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be
deemed to compel Lender at any time to accept a cure of any Event of Default
hereunder. In no event shall prior recourse to any Collateral be a prerequisite
to Lender’s right to demand payment of any Obligation from Borrower or any
Guarantor upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default.

 

10.3.        Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale or disposition
of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in such order or manner as
Lender determines.

 

 28 

   

  

10.4.        Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each
Borrower hereby severally and unconditionally: (a) waives notice of due
diligence, demand, presentment and protest and any notices thereof as well as
notice of nonpayment, (b) waives notice of and consents to (i) extensions of
time of payment of any Obligation, (ii) change in or taking of or release of
Collateral or guarantees, (iii) settlement, compromise or release of, or waiver
of, an Event of Default, and (iv) any other act, event or condition that may
constitute a defense to the obligation of a surety or guarantor, and (c) waives
all statutory, contractual, equitable and other claims against Lender for
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, setoff,
marshalling, or other recourse in respect of sums paid or payable to Lender by
Borrowers hereunder. No delay or omission of Lender to exercise any right or
remedy hereunder, whether before or after the happening of any Event of Default,
shall impair any such right or shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a waiver
of any such Event of Default. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any
right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or
preclude any other right or remedy.

Expenses and costs described in this Section 11.6 arising after the entry of
judgment (including without limitation costs and Expenses to collect the
judgment or liquidate and collect Collateral) shall not be extinguished or
merged into the judgment but shall survive the judgment as a claim against
Borrower and the Collateral.

 

11.7.        Indemnification.

 

(a) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, at its sole cost and expense, each of
Lender, and all of its successors, transferees, and assigns and all officers,
directors, shareholders, controlling Persons, employees and agents of any of the
foregoing (each an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against
any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing
being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or
incurred by any Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the ownership of any Account, excluding,
however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
part of such Indemnified Party. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall
indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out of or
relating to: (i) any representation or warranty made by Borrower (or any of its
officers or affiliates) under or in connection with any information or report
delivered by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant hereto, which shall be false,
incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made; (ii)
failure by Borrower to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with
respect to any Account or Contract, or the nonconformity of any Account or the
related Contract with any such applicable law, rule or regulation; (iii) failure
to vest and maintain vested in Lender a perfected ownership interest in any
Collateral, free and clear of any Lien, other than Lien arising solely as a
result of an act of Lender; (iv) any dispute, claim, offset or defense of the
Obligor to the payment of any Account, or any other claim arising from or
related to goods or services to be provided by Borrower under the Account or the
related Contract; (v) any tax or governmental fee or charge (but not including
taxes upon or measured by net income), all interest and penalties thereon or
with respect thereto, and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the
fees and expenses of counsel in defending against the same, which may arise by
reason of the purchase or ownership of any Account, or any other interest in the
Accounts or in any goods which secure any such Accounts; or (vi) any failure of
Borrower to perform its duties or obligations hereunder or under any Contract.

 

 31 

   

  

(b) Lender shall not have any liability to Borrower (whether in tort, contract,
equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrower in connection with, arising
out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated
by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection
herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or
court order binding on the Lender that the losses were the result of acts or
omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

11.8.        Complete Agreement; Amendments.

 

(a) This Agreement and the written documents executed pursuant to this
Agreement, if any, set forth the entire understanding and agreement of the
parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and may not
be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreement of the
parties.

 

(b) No amendments, riders, supplements, or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by (i) Borrower and
Lender or (ii) Lender (with respect to a waiver or consent by it) or Borrower
(with respect to a waiver or consent by it), as the case may be, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.

 

11.9.        Binding Effect; Survival; Successors and Assigns; Participation.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however,
that Borrower may not delegate or assign any of its duties or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender. The provisions of
Section 11.7 shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties,
respectively, and their respective successors and assigns. The rights and
remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by
Borrower and the indemnification provisions of Section 11.7 shall be continuing
and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges
that in the regular course of its commercial finance business Lender may at any
time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Credit Facility
and/or the Term Loan to one or more participants, but any such participant is
not a party to this Agreement and has no direct rights under this Agreement,
whether as party, third party beneficiary, Indemnified Party or otherwise.

 

 32 

   

  

11.10.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

11.11.    Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are to be deemed
severable; the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall
not affect or impair the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full
force and effect, as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision were
not part of this Agreement (but only to the extent of such illegality,
invalidity or unenforceability).

 

11.12.    Termination Fee. If (a) this Agreement or the Term hereof is
terminated by Borrower other than as permitted in Section 11.1 of this
Agreement, or (b) this Agreement or the Term hereof is terminated by Lender or
by operation of law prior to the next anniversary of the Acceptance Date by
reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default (including, without limitation,
the filing of any proceeding described in Section 9.8 of this Agreement),
Borrower shall pay to Lender, and there shall be included in the Obligations, a
Termination Fee, which shall be equal to: (a) two percent (2.0%) of the sum of
the Credit Limit and the Term Note if such termination occurs prior to
expiration of the initial Term hereof; and (b) one percent (1.0%) of the sum of
the Credit Limit and the Term Note if such termination occurs after the second
(2nd) anniversary of the Acceptance Date. The Termination Fee shall be in
addition to all other fees and charges provided for in this Agreement, and shall
be deemed fully earned and payable with or without demand and whether or not any
other Obligations are prepaid. The provisions of this Section 11.12 shall
survive termination or expiration of the term of this Agreement. The Termination
Fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Lender as a
result of such early termination and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under
the circumstances currently existing

 

11.13.    Maximum Rate; Commercial Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document,
in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be
paid, to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to
Borrower and evidenced hereby exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under
applicable law. In such event, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified
or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to such highest lawful
rate, and if from any such circumstance Lender should ever receive anything of
value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed such highest lawful
rate, such excess interest shall be applied (as determined by Lender) to the
reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of
any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest.
Borrower acknowledges that this Agreement and the Note evidence a “commercial
loan” within the meaning set forth in Maryland Code, Commercial Law Article,
Section 12-101(c), and similar statutory provisions in other jurisdictions.

 

11.14.    Governing Law. Borrower acknowledges that this Agreement and all other
Credit Documents are accepted and executed by Lender at its principal office
located in the State of Maryland and that this Agreement is made in the State of
Maryland. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and any
dispute arising out of the relationship between the parties hereto, whether in
contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of
the State of Maryland (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law).

 

 33 

   

  

11.15.    Borrowing Agency.

 

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its
attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and
execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances
now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers,
and hereby authorizes Lender to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder
in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent.

 

(b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a
borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an
accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Lender shall not incur
liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Lender to do so and in
consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender and holds Lender
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and
claims of damage or injury asserted against Lender by any Person arising from or
incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as
provided herein, reliance by Lender on any request or instruction from Borrowing
Agent or any other action taken by Lender with respect to this Section 11.15
except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the
indemnified party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
and non-appealable judgment).

 

(c) All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall make
payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and
such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be
affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Lender to any
Borrower, failure of Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any
other notice, any failure of Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any
Borrower, the release by Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired
from any Borrower, and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice
issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by
Lender to the other Borrowers or any Collateral for such Borrower’s Obligations
or the lack thereof. Each Borrower waives all suretyship defenses.

 

(d) Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, marshalling, contribution of any other
claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers
or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder,
or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property (including, without
limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from
the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this
Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.
