clauses (a) through (d) of this definition, including any applicable credit

property or assets of any Borrower for any reason whatsoever, but the provisions
of this Agreement and/or of the Other Documents, together with all financing

against Borrowers, would be sufficient to create a perfected Lien in any
property or assets that such Borrower may receive upon the sale, lease, license,

all such “proceeds” of such particular property or assets shall be included in
the Collateral as original collateral that is the subject of a direct and

time after the funding in full of all Commitments, the percentage equal to (a)
the outstanding principal balance of all Transaction Specific Loans owing to
such Term Lender at such time divided by (b) the outstanding principal balance
of all Transaction Specific Loans owing to all Term Lenders at such time.
“Commitment Transfer Supplement” shall mean a document in the form of Exhibit

to Agent by which the Purchasing Lender purchases and assumes a portion of the

any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, if so,

thereof that have become effective since the date of, and have had an effect on,
USS’ audited financial statements referred to in Section 5.5(b) or delivered

[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b012.jpg]
“Consents” shall mean all filings and all licenses, permits, consents,

for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the Other
Documents, including any Consents required under all applicable federal, state
or other Applicable Law. “Contract Rate” shall mean an interest rate equal to
the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Daily LIBOR Rate, and the rate of
interest charged to Borrowers hereunder will be adjusted automatically as of
each Business Day based on any applicable changes to either the Published Rate
for such Business Day or the Reserve Percentage for such Business Day without
notice to the Borrower; provided that: (a) If Agent or any Lender determines
(which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, (a) reasonable means
do not exist for ascertaining the Daily LIBOR Rate; (b) Dollar deposits in the
relevant amount and for the relevant maturity for the determination of the Daily
LIBOR Rate are not available in the London interbank eurodollar market, (c) the
making, maintenance or funding of any Advance with interest accruing thereon at
the Daily LIBOR Rate has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by
Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation
or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive
of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), or (d)
the Daily LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any Advance, then Agent shall give
prompt written or telephonic notice to Borrowers and Lenders of such
determination. Then thereafter, until Agent notifies Borrowers that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (but subject to the
provisions of Section 3.7 hereof), the Contract Rate shall be equal to (A) the
Alternate Base Rate plus (B) 1.50%. “Alternate Base Rate” shall mean, for any
day, a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on
such day or (b) the sum of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate in effect on such day
plus one half of one percent (0.5%). At any time when the Contract Rate is
computed based on the Alternate Base Rate, the rate of interest charged to
Borrowers hereunder will be adjusted automatically as of each Business Day based
on any applicable changes to the Alternative Base Rate (or any component
thereof), effective on the date of any such change. “Overnight Bank Funding
Rate” shall mean, for any, day the rate per annum (based on a year of 360 days
and actual days elapsed) comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight
Eurocurrency borrowings by U.S.-managed banking offices of depository
institutions, as such composite rate shall be determined by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, as set forth on its public website from time to time, and as
published on the next succeeding Business Day as the overnight bank funding rate

Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s Advances, or
shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the
proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share

to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to
the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s
Advances may exercise rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and
the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such
participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender’s Advances shall be
part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to
each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased
portion of any other Lender’s Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured
by the Collateral. 2.4. Manner and Repayment of Advances. (a) The Transaction
Specific Loans shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.6 and 4.5(h)
hereof, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any provisions

Term, subject to mandatory prepayments as herein provided. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x)
acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance with
Section 11.1(a) of this Agreement or (y) termination of this Agreement. Subject
to the provisions of Sections 2.6 and 11.5 hereof and also to any separate
written agreements among any applicable Lenders, each payment (including each
prepayment) by or on behalf of any Borrower on account of the principal of
and/or interest on the Transaction Specific Loans shall be applied to the
Transaction Specific Loans pro rata according to the Transaction Specific Loans
Commitment Percentages of the Transaction Specific Loans. (b) Each Borrower
recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other
items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be
collectible by Agent on the date received by Agent. Agent shall conditionally
credit Borrowers’ Account for each item of payment (i) if received by Agent on
or prior to 2:00 p.m. on a Business Day, on such Business Day and (ii) if
received by Agent after 2:00 p.m. on a Business Day, or on a day which is not a
Business Day, on the next Business Day after the day on which such item of
payment is received by Agent (and the Business Day on which each such item of
payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the
“Application Date”). Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers’
Account for the amount of any item of payment which is not reasonably
satisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge Borrowers’ Account for the amount of
any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Agent
unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing
the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by
Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its
respective Application Date. All proceeds of the Collateral received by Agent
shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.5(h). 25

not later than 2:00 p.m. on the due date therefor in Dollars in federal funds or
other funds immediately available to Agent. (d) Except as expressly provided
herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrowers on account
of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made
without deduction, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf
of Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 2:00 p.m., in
Dollars and in immediately available funds. 2.5. Statement of Account. Agent
shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account
(“Borrowers’ Account”) in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the
date and amount of each Advance made by Agent or Lenders and the date and amount
of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to
record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or
any Lender. On the first Business Day of each month, Agent shall send to
Borrowing Agent a statement (each, a “Monthly Statement”) showing (a) the
accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof,
and other transactions between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month
and (b) the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances due in respect
of such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon
Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account
stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement
of Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such
statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to
Borrowers’ Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the
amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable
thereto. 2.6. Prepayments (a) Voluntary Prepayments. (i) Voluntary Prepayments
of the Transaction Specific Loans. Borrowers may, at their option exercisable in
their sole discretion, voluntarily prepay the Transaction Specific Loans in
whole or in part (provided that any such prepayment of Transaction Specific
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof
then outstanding)) at any time and from time to time upon written notice given
to Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the
Transaction Specific Loans to be prepaid. Agent will promptly notify each Lender
of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s
applicable pro rata share of such prepayment. The Borrowers may revoke, rescind
or extend a prepayment notice relative to proposed payment in full of the
Transaction Specific Loans with the proceeds of third party Indebtedness or
other transactions if the closing for such issuance or incurrence or other
transactions does not happen on the date of the proposed termination. Unless all
Term Lenders shall agree otherwise in any particular case (which establishing
any course of dealing or course of conduct for any such voluntary prepayment of
the Transaction Specific Loans made thereafter), such any voluntary prepayment
shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid. 26

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b033.jpg]
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) When any proceeds of any Collateral are received
by any Borrower (including but not limited to any such receipt by direct
remittance of such proceeds by the applicable Specified Export Order Buyer into
the Controlled Collections Account in accordance with Section 4.5(h) hereof),
Borrowers shall prepay the Advances in an amount equal to 100% of such proceeds,
such prepayment to be due and payable (x) in the case of any such proceeds
received by direct remittance of such proceeds by the applicable Specified
Export Order Buyer into the Controlled Collections Account, on the date of the
remittance thereof to the Controlled Collections Account (subject to the
provisions of Sections 2.4 and 4.5(h)), and (y) in the case of any such proceeds
received directly by any Borrower (notwithstanding the provisions of Section
4.5(a)), no later than five (5) Business Days following an officer of the
applicable Borrower obtaining knowledge of such Borrower’s receipt of such
proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust
for Secured Parties; (ii) When any Borrower sells or otherwise Disposes of any
Collateral, Borrowers shall prepay the Advances in an amount equal to the Net
Cash Proceeds of such event, such prepayment to be due and payable no later than
ten (10) Business Days following an officer of the applicable Borrower obtaining
knowledge of such Borrower’s following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, and
until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Secured
Parties (the foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such
sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof). (c) Subject to
the provisions of Section 11.5 hereof, voluntary and mandatory prepayments paid
pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be applied, ratably among the Lenders, to the
then-outstanding principal of the Transaction Specific Loans until paid in full
2.7. Use of Proceeds. (a) Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Advances to
(i) pay fees and expenses relating to the Transactions, and (ii) for the purpose
of enabling Borrowers to finance the cost of manufacturing, producing,
purchasing or selling the Items. No part of the proceeds of any Advance will be
used for “purchasing” or “carrying” “margin stock” as defined in Regulation U of
such Board of Governors. No proceeds of any Advance will be used, directly or
indirectly, by the Borrower (x) in violation of the U.S Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act or any other applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, (y) for the purpose
of funding or financing any activities or business of or with any Sanctioned
Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, except to the extent it would be
permissible for a Lender to finance such activities or business or (z) in any
manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions by any party hereto.
Borrowers may not use any of the Advances for the purpose of: (1) servicing or
repaying any of Borrowers’ pre-existing or future indebtedness unrelated to this
Transaction Specific Loan Facility and this Agreement unless approved by Ex-Im
Bank in writing; (2) acquiring fixed assets or capital assets for use in
Borrowers’ business; (3) acquiring, equipping or renting commercial space
outside of the United States; (4) paying the salaries of non U.S. citizens or
non-U.S. permanent residents who are located in offices outside of the United
States; or (5) in connection with a Retainage or Warranty unless approved by
Lender in writing. In addition, no Advances may be used by the Borrowers to
finance the manufacture, purchase or sale of any of the following: 27

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b034.jpg]
(i) Items to be sold to a Buyer located in a country as to which Ex-Im Bank is
prohibited from doing business as designated in the Country Limitation Schedule;
(ii) that part of the cost of the Items which is not U.S. Content unless such
part is not greater than fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the Items and is
incorporated into the Items in the United States; (iii) defense articles or
defense services; (iv) Capital Goods unless in accordance with Section 2.14 of
the Ex-Im Borrower Agreement; or (v) without Ex-Im Bank's prior written consent,
any Items to be used in the construction, alteration, operation or maintenance
of nuclear power, enrichment, reprocessing, research or heavy water production
facilities. (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.7(a) above, neither
the Borrowers nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this
Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor
shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or
indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law. 2.8. Defaulting
Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the
event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of
such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the
extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.8. So long as such Lender is
a Defaulting Lender advances in respect of any Commitments shall be made pro
rata from the Lenders holding the Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders
based on their respective Commitment Percentage, and no Commitment Percentage of
any Lender or any pro rata share of any Advances required to be advanced by any
Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender.
Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Advances shall be
applied to reduce such type of Advances of each Lender (other than any
Defaulting Lender) in accordance with their Commitment Percentages; provided,
that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any
payments received by Agent for Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a
Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder
(including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting
Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold the amount
of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting
Lender. (b) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to
Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to
this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other
modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without
regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of Required
Lenders, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any
outstanding Advances or a Commitment or any Commitment, provided, that this
clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an
amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) or (ii) of
Section 16.2(b) hereof. 28

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b035.jpg]
(c) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.8, the rights and
obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent)
and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.8
shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this
Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate
as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall
prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against
any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender
hereunder. (d) In the event that Agent and Borrowers agree in writing that a
Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to
be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties hereto. 2.9.
Additional Obligations. All (i) amounts expended by Agent or any Lender pursuant
to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof, (ii) expenses which Agent incurs in connection
with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of
the Controlled Collection Accounts, and (iii) sums expended by Agent or any
Lender due to any Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations
under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower’s obligations
under Section 4.4 hereof, shall, in each case, be added to the Obligations and
shall be secured by the Collateral. III. INTEREST AND FEES. 3.1. Interest.
Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears within three (3) Business Days
after the Borrowing Agent’s receipt of each Monthly Statement, provided that all
accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term.
Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances
outstanding for each day during the month in this Agreement, any Obligations
other than the Advances that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the
Contract Rate, subject to the provision of the final sentence of this Section
3.1 regarding the Default Rate. Any overdue principal of, or overdue interest
on, any Advance shall, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required
Lenders (or, in the case of any failure to pay upon any acceleration of the
Obligations following an Event of Default under Section 10.5, immediately and
automatically without the requirement of any affirmative action of any Person),
bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Contract Rate plus two percent (2%) (as applicable, the “Default Rate”). 3.2.
[RESERVED]. 3.3. Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay the amounts required to be paid
in the Fee Letter to the applicable parties, in the manner, in the applicable
amounts and as and when due as provided for in the Fee Letter. 3.4. Computation
of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed; provided that
if any such interest or fees are determined at any time by reference to the
Alternate Base Rate, such interest or fees shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 365 days. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on
a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the
applicable Contract Rate during such extension. 29

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b036.jpg]
3.5. Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges
charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In
the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise
exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates
hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law;
(ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance
owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than
the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such
excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to
provide for such permissible rate. 3.6. Increased Costs. In the event that any
Change in Law (for purposes of this Section 3.6, the term “Lender” shall include
Agent, any Lender, and bank holding company Controlling Agent or such Lender)
shall: (a) subject Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified
Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of
Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to its Commitments
or Advances, loan principal, or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves,
other liabilities or capital or liquidity attributable thereto; (b) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets held by, or deposits with or for the account of other credit
extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the
Reserve Percentage; or (c) impose on Agent or any Lender, or the London
interbank market, any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this
Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance based on the Daily LIBOR Rate
made by any Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to Agent or any Lender of making, or maintaining its Advances based on the
Daily LIBOR Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make Advances based on the
Daily LIBOR Rate) or to reduce any amount received or receivable by Agent or
such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each
case, by an amount deemed by Agent or such Lender to be material, then Borrowers
shall promptly pay to Agent or such Lender, upon its demand, such additional
amount as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such additional cost incurred
or such reduction suffered. Together with any such demand, such Lender shall
certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent
(and such demand and certification shall be delivered not later than 180
calendar days following the applicable Change in Law), and such certification
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 3.7. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a)
Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the
Other Documents, if Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event or an
Early Opt-in Event has occurred, Agent and Borrowers may amend this Agreement to
replace the Daily LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement; and any such
amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day
after Agent has provided such proposed amendment to all Lenders, so long as the
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such
amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Until the Benchmark
Replacement 30

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b037.jpg]
is effective, subject to the provisions of the definition of Contract Rate, each
Advance will continue to bear interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate. (b)
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement, Agent will have the right to make Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein or in the Other Documents, any amendments implementing
such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any
further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. (c) Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Agent will promptly notify Borrowers
and Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the
effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iii) the
commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision
or election that may be made by Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.7
including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of
the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any
decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and
binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion
and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as
expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.7 (d) Certain Defined Terms. As
used in this Section 3.7: “Benchmark Replacement” means the sum of: (a) the
alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower
giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement
rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental
Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a
rate of interest as a replacement to interest rates based on the LIBOR Rate for
U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities and (b) the Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment; provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as so determined would
be less than 1.00%, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be 1.00% for the
purposes of this Agreement. “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with
respect to any replacement of the Daily LIBOR Rate with an alternate benchmark
rate, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such
spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has
been selected by Agent and Borrowers (a) giving due consideration to (i) any
selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or
determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the Daily LIBOR Rate
with the applicable Benchmark Replacement (excluding such spread adjustment) by
the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market
convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or
determining such spread adjustment, for such replacement of interest rates based
on the LIBOR Rate for U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities at such time and
(b) which may also reflect adjustments to account for (i) the effects of the
transition from the Daily LIBOR Rate to the Benchmark Replacement and (ii)
yield- or risk-based differences between the Daily LIBOR Rate and the Benchmark
Replacement. “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to
any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes
(including changes to the timing and frequency of determining rates and making
payments of interest and other 31

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b038.jpg]
administrative matters) that Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the
adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the
administration thereof by Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market
practice (or, if Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market
practice is not administratively feasible or if Agent determines that no market
practice for the administration of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such
other manner of administration as Agent decides is reasonably necessary in
connection with the administration of this Agreement). “Benchmark Replacement
Date” means the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to the
LIBOR Rate: (1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of Benchmark
Transition Event, the later of (a) the date of the public statement or
publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the
administrator of the LIBOR Rate permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide
the LIBOR Rate; or (2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of Benchmark
Transition Event, the date of the public statement or publication of information
referenced therein. “Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or
more of the following events with respect to the LIBOR Rate (1) a public
statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of
the LIBOR Rate announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to
provide the LIBOR Rate, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time
of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will
continue to provide the LIBOR Rate; (2) a public statement or publication of
information by a Governmental Body having jurisdiction over Agent, the
regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate, the U.S. Federal
Reserve System, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator
for the LIBOR Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the
administrator for the LIBOR Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency
or resolution authority over the administrator for the LIBOR Rate, which states
that the administrator of the LIBOR Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the
LIBOR Rate permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such
statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue
to provide the LIBOR Rate; or (3) a public statement or publication of
information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate
or a Governmental Body having jurisdiction over Agent announcing that the LIBOR
Rate is no longer representative. “Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, if a
Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have
occurred with respect to the LIBOR Rate and solely to the extent that the Daily
LIBOR Rate has not been replaced with a Benchmark Replacement, the period (x)
beginning at the time that such Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at
such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the Daily LIBOR Rate for all
purposes hereunder in accordance with Section 3.7 and (y) ending at the time
that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the Daily LIBOR Rate for all purposes
hereunder pursuant to Section 3.7. 32

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b039.jpg]
“Early Opt-in Event” means a determination by Agent that U.S. dollar denominated
credit facilities being executed at such time, or that include language similar
to that contained in this Section 3.7, are being executed or amended, as
applicable, to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace
LIBOR Rate for interest rates based on the LIBOR Rate. “Relevant Governmental
Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve
Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto. 3.8.
Capital Adequacy. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined that
any Change in Law regarding capital requirements or liquidity requirements or
compliance by Agent or any Lender therewith (for purposes of this Section 3.8,
the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender and any bank holding company
Controlling Agent or such Lender) has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Advances made by such Lender to a level below that which Agent or such
Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
such Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay within
10 days of a demand (which demand must be made within 180 days of the applicable
Change in Law) to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such reduction suffered . (b) A certificate of such
Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate
such Lender with respect to Section 3.8(a) hereof shall be delivered to
Borrowing Agent concurrently with any such demand and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Each such certificate shall contain a representation and
warranty on the part of such Lender to the effect that such Lender has complied
with its obligations pursuant to Section 3.10(a) in an effort to eliminate or
reduce such amount. 3.9. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
Obligations hereunder or under any Other Document shall be made free and clear
of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by
Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith
discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or
withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the
applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or
withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is
an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be
increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made
(including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 3.9) Agent or the applicable Lender receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or
withholding been made. For purposes of this Section 3.9, the term “Applicable
Law” shall include, without limitation, FATCA. 33

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b040.jpg]
(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.9(a) above, Borrowers shall
timely pay to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law,
or at the option of the Agent, timely reimburse the Agent for the payment of,
Other Taxes. (c) (i) Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Lender, within
ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section 3.9) paid by Agent or such Lender, as the
case may be, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Agent or
such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by any Lender (with a copy to
Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. (ii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify
Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not
already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such
Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 16.3(b) relating to
the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in
connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any
Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby
authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to
such Lender under this Agreement or any Other Document or otherwise payable by
Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent
under this Section 3.9(c)(ii). (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of
Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Body pursuant to this Section 3.9,
Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Body, if it exists, evidencing such payment, a copy
of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to Agent. (e) Any Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments
hereunder or under any Other Document shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent, at
the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by
Borrowers or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation or
reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any
Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers
or Agent as will enable Borrowers or Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the
completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in 34

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b041.jpg]
paragraphs (e)(i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (f) of this Section 3.9) shall not be
required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall
deliver to Borrowers and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested
by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of
Borrowers or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (i) two (2) duly
completed valid copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W- 8BEN-E claiming eligibility for
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a
party, (ii) two (2) duly completed valid copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that
such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrowers within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two duly
completed valid copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, (iv) any other form
prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with
such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to
permit Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made,
or (v) to the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall
submit to Agent two (2) copies of an IRS Form W-9 or any other form prescribed
by Applicable Law demonstrating that such Lender is not a Foreign Lender. (f) If
a payment made to any Lender under this Agreement or any Other Document would be
subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to
fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including
those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such
Lender shall deliver to Agent and Borrowers at the time or times prescribed by
Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or
Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed
by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by Agent or any Borrower as may be necessary for Agent and
Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that
such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely
for purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to
FATCA after the Closing Date. (g) If Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.9 (including the payment of additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 3.9), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an
amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made
under this Section 3.9 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and
without interest (other than any interest paid by 35

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b042.jpg]
the relevant Governmental Body with respect to such refund), provided that such
indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, agrees to repay
the amount paid over to such indemnified party pursuant to this clause (g) (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Body) if such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g),
in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place
the indemnified party in a less favorable net after- Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and
giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed
and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax
had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Agent or
any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating
to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person. (h)
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
expired or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower or Agent in writing of its
legal inability to do so. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.9 shall
survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights
by, or replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and Payment
in Full of the Obligations. 3.10. Lender’s Obligation to Mitigate; Replacement
of Lenders. (a) If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) makes demand upon Borrowers
for (or if Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section
3.6, 3.8 or 3.9 hereof, then such Lender shall use all commercially reasonable
efforts to mitigate or eliminate the amount of such compensation or additional
amount, including by designating a different lending office for funding or
booking its Advances hereunder or by assigning its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates; provided that no
Lender shall be required to take any action under this Section 3.10(a) unless,
in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment or other action
would (i) eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.6, 3.8 or
3.9, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to
any unreimbursed cost or expense or (iii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Lender. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) If any
Lender (a) is an Affected Lender, (b) is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) denies any
consent requested pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof (each such Lender, a
“Subject Lender”), Borrowers may, by notice (a “Replacement Notice”) in writing
to Agent and such Subject Lender (i) request the Subject Lender to cooperate
with Borrowers in obtaining a replacement Lender satisfactory to Agent and
Borrowers (the “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request the non- Subject Lenders to
acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and to the extent any
portion thereof remains unterminated, unexpired, and unfunded its Commitment,
all as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation
to do so; or (iii) propose a Replacement Lender subject to approval by Agent in
their good faith business judgment. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall
be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non- Subject Lender(s) shall agree
to acquire and assume all of the Subject Lender’s Advances and, to the extent
any portion thereof remains unterminated, unexpired and unfunded its Commitment,
then such 36

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b043.jpg]
Subject Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 16.3 hereof, all of its
Advances and, if and as applicable, its Commitment and/or, to the extent any
portion thereof remains unterminated, unexpired and unfunded its Commitment
portion thereof remains unterminated, unexpired and unfunded, its Commitment,
and, and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other
Documents to such Replacement Lender or non-Subject Lender(s), as the case may
be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest
and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due
and payable to the Subject Lender, as applicable, assigned, plus all other
Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Lender, as applicable. Such
assignment may be effected pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed
by the Agent, the Replacement Lender or non- Subject Lender(s), as applicable,
and the Borrower, and the applicable Subject Lender need not be party thereto in
order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented
to and be bound by the terms thereof. IV. COLLATERAL: GENERAL TERMS 4.1.
Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and
performance to Agent and each other Secured Party of the Obligations, each
Borrower hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Agent for its benefit and for the
ratable benefit of each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in
and to and Lien on all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or
hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located. Each Borrower
shall mark its books and records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence,
protect, and perfect Agent’s security interest and shall cause its financial
statements to reflect such security interest. 4.2. Perfection of Security
Interest. Each Borrower shall take all action that may be necessary or
desirable, or that Agent may reasonably request, so as at all times to maintain
the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent’s security
interest in and Lien on the Collateral or to enable Agent to protect, exercise
or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not
limited to, (a) immediately discharging all Liens on the Collateral other than
Permitted Encumbrances, (b) delivering to Agent, endorsed or accompanied by such
instruments of assignment as Agent may specify, and stamping or marking, in such
manner as Agent may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of
credit and advices thereof evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, and
(c) executing and delivering financing statements, Control Agreements,
instruments of pledge, notices and assignments, in each case in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, relating to the creation, validity,
perfection, maintenance, or continuation of Agent’s security interest and Lien
under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law . By its signature
hereto and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby
authorizes Agent to file against such Borrower with respect to the Collateral,
one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial Code in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent
(which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than
that set forth herein); provided that Agent shall provide the Borrowers with
copies of any such financing, continuation or amendment statements. All
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket charges, expenses and fees Agent may
incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall
be included in the Obligations, or, at Agent’s option, shall be paid by
Borrowers to Agent for its benefit promptly after receiving demand therefor. 37

[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b044.jpg]
4.3. Ownership and Location of Collateral. (a) With respect to the Collateral,
at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent’s security interest: (i)
each Borrower has good and marketable title to all its Collateral (subject to
exceptions that are, in the aggregate, not material), free and clear of all
Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and has been duly authorized to sell,
transfer, pledge, and/or grant a Lien in its respective Collateral to Agent;
(ii) each document and agreement executed by each Borrower or delivered to Agent
or any Lender in connection with this the Collateral shall be true and correct
in all material respects; and (iii) all signatures and endorsements of each
Borrower that appear on such documents and agreements referred to in the
foregoing clause (ii) shall be genuine and each Borrower has capacity to execute
the same. 4.4. Defense of Agent’s and Lenders’ Interests. Until Payment in Full
of all of the Obligations, Agent’s interests in the Collateral shall continue in
full force and effect. During such period no Borrower shall, without Agent’s
prior written consent, pledge, sell (except for sales or other dispositions
otherwise permitted in Section 7.1(b) hereof), assign, transfer, create or
suffer to exist a Lien upon or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in
any way except for Permitted Encumbrances, any part of the Collateral. Subject
to the foregoing sentence, each Borrower shall defend Agent’s interests in the
Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to
take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever
physical form contained. If Agent exercises this right to take possession of the
Collateral, each Borrower shall, upon demand, assemble it in a reasonable manner
and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In
addition, with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to
all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the
Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law. At any time following and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Borrower shall, and Agent
may, instruct all Persons receiving or holding cash, checks, or instruments in
which Agent holds a security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to
Agent’s order. At any time when and if any cash, checks, or instruments in which
Agent holds a security interest shall come into any Borrower’s possession, they,
and each of them, shall be held by such Borrower in trust as Agent’s trustee,
and such Borrower will comply with the provisions of Sections 4.8(d) and (h)
with respect thereto. 4.5. Specified Export Order Receivables and Deposit
Accounts. (a) Each of the Specified Export Order Receivables shall be a bona
fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the
Specified Export Order Buyer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the
invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors
shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or
lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Borrower, or work, labor or
services theretofore rendered by a Borrower as of the date each Specified Export
Order Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the
applicable Borrower’s standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or
counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts Specified Export Order
Receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent. (b) With respect to such
Specified Export Order Buyers of any Borrower who are not solvent, such Borrower
has set up on its books and in its financial records appropriate bad 38

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b045.jpg]
debt reserves adequate to cover such Specified Export Order Receivables in
accordance with GAAP. (c) Each Borrower’s (i) chief executive office and (ii)
principal place of business is located as set forth on Schedule 4.5 hereto.
Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other office at
which any Borrower keeps its records pertaining to Specified Export Order
Receivables, all such records shall be kept at either such chief executive
office or such principle place of business. (d) Subject to the provisions of
Section 8.3(a) hereof, Borrowers shall instruct the Specified Export Order
Buyers to deliver all remittances upon Specified Export Order Receivables
(whether paid by check or by wire transfer of funds or by ACH or other
electronic transfer of funds) to the Controlled Collection Accounts (and any
associated lockboxes) as contemplated by Section 4.5(h) hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent any Borrower directly receives any remittances upon
Specified Export Order Receivables, such Borrower shall, at such Borrower’s sole
cost and expense, but on Agent’s behalf and for Agent’s account, collect as
Agent’s property and in trust for Agent all amounts received on Specified Export
Order Receivables, and shall not commingle such collections with any Borrower’s
funds or use the same except to pay Obligations, and shall immediately and in
any event no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after an officer of such
Borrower obtains knowledge of receipt thereof (i) in the case of remittances
paid by check, deposit all such remittances in their original form (after
supplying any necessary endorsements) and (ii) in the case of remittances paid
by wire transfer of funds, transfer all such remittances, in each case, into
such Blocked Accounts(s) and/or Depository Account(s). Each Borrower shall
deposit in its Controlled Collection Account or, upon request by Agent, deliver
to Agent, in original form and on the date of receipt thereof, all checks,
drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of
Indebtedness. (e) At any time following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of
the assignment of, and Agent’s security interest in and Lien on, the applicable
Specified Export Order Receivables to any and all Specified Export Order Buyers
or any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral.
Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Specified Export
Order Receivables, take possession of the Collateral, or both. Agent’s actual
collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage,
telephone and facsimile, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of
any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged added to the
Obligations. (f) Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or
deliver in the name of Agent or any Borrower any and all checks, drafts and
other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Specified Export
Order Receivables, and each Borrower hereby waives notice of presentment,
protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Borrower hereby
constitutes Agent or Agent’s designee as such Borrower’s attorney with power (i)
at any time: (A) to endorse such Borrower’s name upon any notes, acceptances,
checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment constituting
Collateral; (B) to sign such Borrower’s name on any assignments and
verifications of Specified Export Order Receivables; (C) to send verifications
of Specified Export Order Receivables to any Specified Export Order Buyer; and
(D) to sign such Borrower’s name on all financing statements, agreements,
documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve,
protect, or perfect Agent’s interest in the Collateral 39

continuance of an Event of Default: (A) to demand payment of the Specified
Export Order Receivables; (B) to enforce payment of the Specified Export Order
Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise; (C) to exercise all of such
Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Specified

claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Specified Export Order
Buyer; (G) to prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name on any notice of Lien,
assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the
Specified Export Order Receivables; (H) to accept the return of goods
represented by any of the Specified Export Order Receivables; and (I) to do all
other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of such
attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and such attorney or
designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any
error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done in bad faith,
maliciously, with gross (not mere) negligence or constituting an act of willful
misconduct (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in
a final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is
irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid. (g) Neither Agent nor
any Lender shall, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever (excluding
events determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross (not mere)
negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender), have any liability
for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement,
collection or payment of any of the Specified Export Order Receivables or any
instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom.
(h) All proceeds of Collateral shall be deposited by Borrowers into account
#1077769496 established by USSI with PNC or account #1077769357 established by
USS (collectively, the “Controlled Collections Accounts”), as applicable, each
of which was established to be used and shall be used solely for the deposit of
such proceeds, and Borrowers hereby irrevocably acknowledge and agree that,
until Payment in Full of the Obligations, such Controlled Collection Accounts
shall be part of the Collateral and shall be under the sole control and dominion
of Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties. All funds deposited in the
Controlled Collection Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security
interest of Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties. Subject to the
provisions of Sections 2.4(b) and 11.5 hereof, Agent shall apply all funds
received into the Controlled Collection Accounts on a daily basis to the
satisfaction of the Obligations in such order as Agent shall determine in its
sole discretion, provided that (x) in the absence of any Event of Default, Agent
shall apply all such funds representing collection of Specified Export Order
Receivables first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Transaction
Specific Loans and (y) in the event funds that are not part of or proceeds of
Collateral and are mistakenly deposited in any Controlled Collection Account,
Agent shall return such funds to (or on the order of) Borrowing Agent promptly
upon Agent’s receipt of written notice of such event from Borrowing Agent and
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that such funds have been so
mistakenly deposited and are not part of or proceeds of the Collateral. (i) No
Borrower will, without Agent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), compromise or adjust any Specified Export
Order 40

regarding the requirements of Section 2.12 of the Ex-Im Borrower Agreement
pursuant to any Ex-Im Waiver). 4.8. Exculpation of Liability. Nothing set forth
herein shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Borrower’s
agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible
or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part
of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause
thereof (other than any such shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction
that has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from Agent or such Lender’s bad faith, gross (not mere) negligence or willful
misconduct). Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any
assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Borrower’s obligations under any
contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor
any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Borrower
of any of the terms and conditions thereof. 4.9. Release. Upon any Disposition
of any item of Collateral permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of
this Agreement or with the consent of the Required Lenders, such Collateral
shall be automatically and without further action released from the security
interests and Liens created by this Agreement. The Agent will, at the Borrowers’
expense, execute and deliver without recourse and without any representation or
warranty of any kind (either express or implied) to Borrowers such documents as

Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby. 4.10.

reasonably request in furtherance of the requirements of Section 4 of this
Agreement and all other documents any Borrower is required to deliver upon
request of Agent under the Ex-Im Borrower Agreement (subject to any modification
of the provisions of the Ex-Im Borrower Agreement pursuant to any Ex-Im Waiver).
9.6. Notices Required Under Ex-Im Borrower Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of any other provision of this Article IX or this Agreement, Loan
Parties shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, provide
written notice to Agent of any of the events specified in Sections 2.18 and 2.24
of the Ex-Im Borrower Agreement, provided that, if any other provision of this
Article IX or this Agreement shall require earlier notice of any such event,
such earlier deadline shall control. For the avoidance of doubt and without
limiting the generality of Section 7.3 of this Agreement, if the provisions of
Sections 2.18 and 2.24 of the Ex-Im Borrower Agreement shall require Borrowers
to give notice of an event which would otherwise not be covered by the specific
terms of any other provisions of this Article IX or this Agreement requiring
notice in the case of similar events (e.g., if Section 2.18(e) of the Ex-Im
Borrower Agreement would require notice of any litigation which would not be
covered by the notice requirements under Section 9.3 above), or vice versa, the
stricter notice provision shall control. 54

[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b063.jpg]
XI. LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT. 11.1. Rights and Remedies. (a)
Upon the occurrence of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.5 hereof,
all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable (including, without
limitation, any fees pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, if applicable) and this
Agreement and the Commitments shall be deemed terminated, and (ii) any of the
other Events of Default and at any time thereafter when any such other Event of
Default is continuing, at the direction of Required Lenders all Obligations
shall be immediately due and payable (including, without limitation, any fees
pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, if applicable) and Required Lenders shall have
the right to instruct Agent to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the
Commitment Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Agent shall have, at the direction of Required Lenders, the right to
exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other
Documents, under the Uniform Commercial Code and at law or equity generally,
including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to
realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take
possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial
process. Subject to the foregoing, Agent may enter any of any Borrower’s
premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability
to any Borrower therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in
its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same
to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Borrowers to
make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. With or without
having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the
Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or
place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms,
either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to
that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily
in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall
give Borrowers reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed
that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10)
Business Days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any
public sale Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become
the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale
thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or
right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such
claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each
Borrower. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including
the sale of Inventory, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Agent is granted a perpetual non-revocable, royalty free,
nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use all of each
Borrower’s (a) Intellectual Property which is used or useful in connection with
Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or
otherwise disposing of such Inventory (but not any other Intellectual Property
of any Borrower) and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture
of unfinished goods (but not any other equipment of any Borrower). The Net Cash
Proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the
Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof. Non-cash proceeds
will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any
deficiency shall arise, Borrowers shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders
therefor. (b) To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to
exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (i)
to fail to exercise collection remedies against 57

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b064.jpg]
Specified Export Order Buyers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to
remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (ii) to exercise
collection remedies against Specified Export Order Buyers and other Persons
obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and
other collection specialists; (iii) to advertise dispositions of Collateral
through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature; (iv) to contact other Persons, whether or
not in the same business as any Borrower, for expressions of interest in
acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (v) to purchase insurance or
credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or
disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the
collection or disposition of Collateral; or (vi) to the extent deemed
appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment
bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection
or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Borrower acknowledges that the
purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non- exhaustive indications of
what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in
Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or
omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on
account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon
the foregoing, nothing set forth in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to
grant any rights to any Borrower or to impose any duties on Agent that would not
have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the
absence of this Section 11.1(b). 11.2. Agent’s Discretion. Agent shall have the
right to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may
at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing
and methodologies to employ, and what any other action to take with respect to
any or all of the collateral and in what order, thereto and such determination
will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder
as against Borrowers or each other. 11.3. Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13
hereof, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under
Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and
without notice of any kind, to apply any Borrower’s property held by Agent and
such Lender or any of their Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise
any and all rights of setoff which may be available to Agent and such Lender
with respect to any deposits held by Agent or such Lender. 11.4. Rights and
Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is
not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not
preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or
otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.
11.5. Allocation of Payments and Proceeds of Collateral after Event of Default.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary: (a) After the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts
collected or received by any Secured Party on account of the Obligations or in
respect of the Collateral (including without limitation any and all payments
paid by or on behalf of any Borrower (including any and all payments by or on
behalf of any Guarantor in respect of its obligations and liabilities under its
Guaranty), any and all proceeds of Collateral, any and all 58

Agreement; SECOND, to payment until paid in full of any fees owing and payable

under the provisions of Section 16.9 hereof and/or any other applicable
provisions hereof or of any Other Document, and (y) all indemnification
obligations owing to each of the Lenders to the extent payable by Borrowers

In carrying out the foregoing, and subject in all cases to the other provisions
of this Section 11.5, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical
order provided until exhausted and each applicable category is paid in full
prior to application to the next succeeding category, and (ii) each of the
Lenders shall receive (so long as it is not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal
to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding
Advances held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Advances)
of amounts available to be applied pursuant to each applicable clause above. (b)
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
11.5, any Obligations Receipts shall be received by any Secured Party in

for the benefit of the Secured Parties as a whole and shall promptly be paid
over to or delivered to Agent in the form received (together with any applicable
endorsement) for application. (c) For the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes

Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes 61

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b068.jpg]
Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement
and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties
hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent
by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal
and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections 2.4(b) and in the Fee
Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the
ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or
through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by
this Agreement (including collection of the Note), Agent shall not be required
to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or
to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining
from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders, and such instructions
shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take
any action which, in Agent’s discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is
contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent
is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with
respect thereto. 14.2. Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or
agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such
hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their bad faith, gross
(not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible
in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made
by any Borrower or any officer thereof set forth in this Agreement, or in any of
the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Borrower to
perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to
any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any
of the agreements set forth in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the
Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower.
The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Borrowers shall be mechanical
and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a
fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender and nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon
Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described
herein except as expressly set forth herein. 14.3. Lack of Reliance on Agent.
Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender
has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of each Borrower in connection with the making
and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of
any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of each Borrower. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility,
either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall
be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be
responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information,
representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate
or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this
Agreement 62

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b069.jpg]
or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower, or be
required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of
any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Notes, the
Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Borrower, or the
existence of any Event of Default or any Default. 14.4. Resignation of Agent;
Successor Agent. Agent may resign on sixty (60) days written notice to each of
Lenders and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will
promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowing Agent
(provided that no such approval by Borrowing Agent shall be required (i) in any
case where the successor Agent is one of Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent
shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular
succeed to all of Agent’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens
in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other
Document, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon
its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall
be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such
former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the
effectiveness of the new Agent’s appointment, any further actions need to be
taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any
Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection
of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then
possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and
perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold
such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent
until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected
Lien on all Collateral, provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any
liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such
agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to
forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After
Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any
indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation,
rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant
to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this
Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including
without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with
such Liens). 14.5. Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions
from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in
connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have
received instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability
to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing,
Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result
of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the
instructions of Required Lenders. 14.6. Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing,
resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile or telecopier
message, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person
or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement
and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel
selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be
63

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b070.jpg]
liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by Agent with reasonable care. 14.7. Notice of Default. Agent shall not
be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received
notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other
Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice,
Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by
Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received
such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders. 14.8.
Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by
Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its
respective portion of the outstanding Advances (or, if no Advances are
outstanding, pro rata according to the percentage that its Commitment Amount
constitutes of the total aggregate Commitment Amounts), from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its
duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any Other Document; provided that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s bad faith, gross
(not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). 14.9. Agent in its
Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this
Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as
Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless
the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual
capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Borrower as if it
were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other
consideration from any Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement
or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. 14.10. Delivery
of Documents. To the extent Agent receives reports, information, or financial
statements required under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 hereof any Borrower pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement which any Borrower is not obligated to deliver to
each Lender, Agent will promptly deliver such documents and information to
Lenders. 14.11. Borrowers’ Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their
respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement,
each Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on
demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of
Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not
already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto
satisfy the relevant Borrower’s obligations to make payments for the account of
Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement. 64

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b071.jpg]
14.12. No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. To the extent the
Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other
Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any
of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out
such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification
program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA
PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained
in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, the
“CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs
involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of
Borrowers, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the
transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification
procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists,
(iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations
or such Anti-Terrorism Laws. 14.13. Other Agreements. Each of Lenders agrees
that it shall not, without the prior written consent of Agent, and that it
shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of
Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any
Borrower or any deposit accounts of any Borrower now or hereafter maintained
with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
each of Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested
to do so by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out
of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that
any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other
Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of
Agent or Required Lenders. XV. BORROWING AGENCY. 15.1. Borrowing Agency
Provisions. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to
be its attorney and agent and in such capacity whether verbally, in writing or
through electronic methods (including, without limitation, an Approved
Electronic Communication) to (i) borrow, (ii) request advances, (iii) sign and
endorse notes, (iv) execute and deliver all instruments, documents,
applications, security agreements, and other agreements, documents, instruments,
certificates, notices, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required
hereunder, (v) make elections regarding interest rates, and (vii) otherwise take
action under and in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, all
on behalf of and in the name of such Borrower or Borrowers, and hereby
authorizes Agent 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.
Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to Borrowers as a result
thereof. To induce Agent and Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each
Borrower hereby indemnifies Agent and each Lender and holds Agent and each
Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses,
damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent or any Lender by
any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing
arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by Agent or any Lender on
any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by
Agent or any Lender with respect to this Section 15.1 except due to bad faith,
willful misconduct or gross (not mere) 65

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b072.jpg]
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 Agent or any Lender to any Borrower, failure
of Agent or any Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other
notice, any failure of Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights
against any Borrower, the release by Agent or any 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 Agent or any Lender to the other Borrowers or any Collateral
for such Borrower’s Obligations or the lack thereof. Each Borrower waives all
suretyship defenses. 15.2. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Borrower expressly waives
any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration,
contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have
against the other Borrowers or any other Person directly or contingently liable
for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to any other
Borrower’s property (including, without limitation, any property which is
Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of
this Agreement, until the termination of the Commitments, the termination of
this Agreement and the Payment in Full of the Obligations. XVI. MISCELLANEOUS.
16.1. Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Other Document
(unless and except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in any such Other
Document), and all matters relating hereto or thereto or arising herefrom or
therefrom (whether arising under contract law, tort law or otherwise) shall, in
accordance with Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of
New York, be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York. Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Borrower with
respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents
shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the County of New
York, State of New York, United States of America, and, by execution and
delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower accepts for itself and in connection
with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any
judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower
hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that
all such service of process may be made by certified or registered mail (return
receipt requested) directed to Borrowing Agent at its address set forth in
Section 16.6 hereof and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days
after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of
America. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner
permitted by law. Each Borrower waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue
of any action instituted hereunder in compliance with this Section 16.1 and
shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based
upon forum non conveniens. Any judicial proceeding by any Borrower against Agent
or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way
arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any of the Other
Documents shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the
County of New York, State of New York. 66

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b073.jpg]
16.2. Entire Understanding. (a) This Agreement and the Other Documents contain
the entire understanding between each Borrower, Agent and each Lender and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the
subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees
not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless
in writing, signed by each Borrower’s, Agent’s and each Lender’s respective
officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be
amended, modified, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated
orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement
in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Agent may modify this Agreement or any of the Other Documents for the purposes
of completing missing content or correcting erroneous content of an
administrative nature, without the need for a written amendment, provided that
Agent shall send a copy of any such modification to Borrowers and each Lender
(which copy may be provided by electronic mail). Each Borrower acknowledges that
it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this
Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or
statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. (b)
Required Lenders, Agent with the consent in writing of Required Lenders, and the
Borrowers may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2(b), from time to
time enter into any written amendments to this Agreement or any of the Other
Documents or any other supplemental agreements, documents or instruments for the
purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise amending, modifying,
supplementing, changing, varying or waiving in any manner the conditions,
provisions or terms hereof or thereof or waiving any Event of Default hereunder
or thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written amendments or
other agreements, documents or instruments; provided, however, that no such
amendment, or other agreement, document or instrument shall: (i) increase the
Commitment or the maximum dollar amount of the Commitment Amount of any Lender
without the consent of such Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) whether or
not any Advances are outstanding, extend the Term or the time for payment of
principal or interest of any Advance (excluding the due date of any mandatory
prepayment of an Advance), or any fee payable to any Lender, or reduce the
principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Advances or reduce any
fee payable to any Lender, without the consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby (except that Required Lenders may elect to waive or rescind any
imposition of the Default Rate under Section 3.1 hereof); (iii) alter the
definition of the term “Required Lenders” or alter, amend or modify this Section
16.2(b) without the consent of all Lenders; (iv) alter, amend or modify the
provisions of Section 11.5 hereof without the consent of all Lenders; (v)
release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the consent of each
Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; (vi) change the rights and
duties of Agent without the consent of all Lenders and Agent; 67

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b074.jpg]
(vii) release any Borrower without the consent of all Lenders; or (viii)
subordinate the Liens of Agent in the Collateral in favor of any other Liens
without the consent of all Lenders. (c) Any such supplemental agreement shall
apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Borrowers, Lenders and
Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver,
Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and
rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any
subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is
the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right
consequent thereon. (d) Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, at
any time in Agent’s sole discretion regardless of (i) the existence of a Default
or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the
Commitments have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary
provision of this Agreement, to make Advances to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders
which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable
(a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to
enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances
and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (any such Advances, the “Protective
Advances”); provided, that the Protective Advances made hereunder shall not
exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate without the consent of Required Lenders. The
Lenders shall be obligated to fund such Advances and effect a settlement with
Agent therefore upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually
funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such
Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Advances made by and
owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of
interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents
with respect to such Advances. 16.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations; New
Lenders. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Borrowers, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of Agent and each Lender. (b) Each Borrower acknowledges that in
the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any
time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other
Persons (other than natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or
trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person)))
(each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a
“Participant”); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
and the Other Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) each Borrower, Agent and the other Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the Other 68

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b075.jpg]
Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver hereto or
thereto; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in clause (i) or (ii) of the first proviso to
Section 16.2(b) that affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.8 and 3.9 of
this Agreement (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including
the obligation to deliver documentation under Section 3.9(e) it being understood
that such documentation shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the
same extent as if it were a Purchasing Lender; provided that (i) Borrowers shall
not be required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which it would
have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or
other Obligations payable hereunder to such Participant had such Lender retained
such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s
prior written consent and (ii) in no event shall Borrowers be required to pay
any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same
Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such
Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for
this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on
which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal
amount (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or
other Obligations (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose the identity or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any Advances or other Obligations to any Person except
to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Advance
or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the
United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in each Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt
Agent (in its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register. (c) Any Lender may sell, assign or transfer all or any
part of its rights and obligations under or relating to any of the Advances or
Commitments of such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one
or more entities (other than (x) a natural person (or a holding company,
investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit
of, a natural person) or (y) a Defaulting Lender) (each a “Purchasing Lender”),
in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment
Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and
Agent and delivered to Agent for recording, provided, however, each such sale,
assignment or transfer by any Lender prior to the termination of such Lender’s
Commitment must consist of an assignment by such Lender of both the designated
portion of such Lender’s Commitment (which may be all of such Commitment) and of
that portion of the Advances held by such Lender as is proportionate to that
portion of such Lender’s Commitment so sold, assigned or transferred. Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer
effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i)
Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided
in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender hereunder with respect to the Advances and, if applicable, Commitments
transferred to such Purchasing Lender under such Commitment Transfer Supplement,
and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this
Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the 69

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b076.jpg]
addition of such Purchasing Lender and, if and as applicable, the resulting
adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such
Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such
transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Borrower
hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and, if and as
applicable, the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from
the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and
obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other
Documents. Borrowers shall execute and deliver such further documents and do
such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing; provided,
however, that the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default under
Section 10.1 or 10.5 has occurred and is continuing at the time of such
assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee; provided that
Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless
Borrowing Agent shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within ten (10)
Business Days after having received prior notice thereof. (d) [Reserved]. (e)
Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer
Supplement and Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a
register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each
Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees
due hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence
of manifest error, and each Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded
therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for
inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender (with respect to its own holdings)
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent
shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing
Lender and/or Purchasing CLO upon the effective date of each transfer or
assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser or to a Permitted Assignee)
to such Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO and, if and as applicable, the
resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising therefrom. (f) Each
Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing
Lender and any prospective Participant or Purchasing Lender any and all
financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Borrower which
has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement or in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such
Borrower, subject to such Participant, Purchasing Lender, prospective
Participant or prospective Purchasing Lender agreeing to confidentiality
restrictions substantially consistent with Section 16.15. (g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time
and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion
of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for
such Lender as a party hereto. (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 16.3 (specifically including subsections (b), (c) or
(d) hereof) or otherwise provided for in this 70

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b077.jpg]
Agreement or in any Other Document including any Note, following the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to exercise all rights and remedies under the Ex-Im Master
Guarantee on behalf of itself and all Lenders (and Lenders hereby authorize
Agent to do the same), and each Lender hereby agrees to take any and all actions
requested by Agent (at Borrowers’ expense (and Borrower’s liabilities to pay for
such expenses shall be part of the Obligations hereunder secured by the
Collateral)), including execution and delivery of any instruments of assignment
in favor of Ex-Im Bank with respect to its Notes and its interests in this
Agreement and the Other Documents and in the Advances hereunder, as shall be
necessary for Agent to fully exercise all such rights and remedies in compliance
with all the requirements of the Ex-Im Agreements including Section 5.01(a) and
5.01(b) of the Ex-Im Master Guarantee. 16.4. Application of Payments. Agent
shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply
any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the
Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any
Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower’s
benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in
possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law,
common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender. 16.5.
Indemnity. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent, each Lender
and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys,
employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) for and from and against any
and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and related expenses (including
fees and disbursements of a single firm of counsel to the Indemnified Parties,
taken as a whole) (collectively, “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by,
or asserted against any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in connection
with: (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the Other Documents, the
performance thereof by the parties thereto, the Advances and other Obligations
and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any
action or failure to act or action taken only after delay or the satisfaction of
any conditions by any Indemnified Party in connection with and/or relating to
the negotiation, execution, delivery or administration of the Agreement and the
Other Documents, the credit facilities established hereunder and thereunder
and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (iii)
the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Agent or any Lender under
the Agreement and the Other Documents, (iv) any actual alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly
owned by a Borrower and (v) any claim, litigation, proceeding or investigation
instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or instrumentality, any
Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower or any other Person with
respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in,
or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not
Agent or any Lender is a party thereto; provided that (u) such indemnity shall
not be available to any Indemnified Party to the extent that such Claims are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross (not mere) negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, (w) such indemnity shall not be
available to any Indemnified Party for Claims arising out of a proceeding in
which such Indemnified Party and any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof are
adverse parties involving a material breach in bad faith by such Indemnified
Party to the extent that such Borrower or Affiliate thereof prevails on the
merits, 71

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

 
[ex10p1expimpcragr200930b078.jpg]
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable
judgment (it being understood that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a
claim or suit by any Borrower against any Indemnified Party for such Indemnified
Party’s failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any
Other Document), (x) the Borrowers shall not, in connection with any such
proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction and in the absence of
actual conflicts of interest, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one firm of counsel at any one time for the Indemnified Parties, (y) each
Indemnified Party shall give the Borrowers (I) prompt notice of any such action
brought against such Indemnified Party in connection with a Claim for which it
intends to assert entitlement to the indemnity hereunder and (II) an opportunity
to consult from time to time with such Indemnified Party regarding defensive
measures and potential settlement and (z) the Borrowers shall not be obligated
to pay the amount of any settlement entered into without its written consent.
16.6. Notice. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to Borrowing Agent or
any Borrower or to Agent or any Lender at their respective addresses set forth
below or at such other address as may hereafter be specified in a notice
designated as a notice of change of address under this Section. Any notice,
request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes of this Section
16.6 only, a “Notice”) to be given to or made upon any party hereto under any
provision of this Agreement shall be given or made by telephone or in writing
(which includes by means of electronic transmission (i.e., “e-mail”) or
facsimile transmission or by setting forth such Notice on a website to which
Borrowers are directed (an “Internet Posting”) if Notice of such Internet
Posting (including the information necessary to access such site) has previously

temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity
of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy. 16.11. Consequential
Damages. No party hereto, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be

information (a) to its examiners, Affiliates, directors, officers, partners,

Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to
such Lender by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or
in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to
any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any
such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be
bound by the provisions of this Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder.
Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any non-disclosure agreement or
similar document executed by Agent in favor of any Borrower or any of any
Borrower’s affiliates, the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede such
agreements. 16.16. Publicity. With the reasonable consent of the Borrowing
Agent, the Agent may make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement
entered into among Borrowers, Agent and Lenders, including announcements which
