ARTICLE II
ADVANCES
        2.01. Advances.
          (a) Commitment for Revolving Credit. The Lenders severally agree,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Advances to the
Borrowers in respect of the Commitment from time to time until the Termination
Date. The following rules shall govern the amount of the Advances:
          (1) The aggregate outstanding amount of such Advances may equal but
shall never exceed the lesser of (A) the Commitment Amount, and (B) the
Borrowing Base.
          (2) In addition to the other restrictions set forth in this Agreement
(whether in the definition of “Borrowing Base” or elsewhere): (A) the amount
includable in the Borrowing Base on account of Eligible Used Inventory shall
never exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate of (i) Eligible New
Inventory, and (ii) Eligible Used Inventory; (B) the amount includable in the
Borrowing Base on account of Eligible Accounts shall never exceed thirty million
dollars ($30,000,000); (C) the amount includable in the Borrowing Base on
account of both the Eligible New Inventory of Hatteras Yachts and the Eligible
Used Inventory of Hatteras Yachts shall not exceed in the aggregate seventy
million dollars ($70,000,000); (D) the amount includable in the Borrowing Base
on account of both the Eligible New Inventory of Ferretti Yachts and the
Eligible Used Inventory of Ferretti Yachts shall not exceed in the aggregate
seventy million dollars ($70,000,000); (E) the amount includable in the
Borrowing Base on account of (i) the Eligible New Inventory of Hatteras Yachts
and Ferretti Yachts and (ii) the Eligible Used Inventory of Hatteras Yachts and
Ferretti Yachts shall not exceed in the aggregate one hundred million dollars
($100,000,000); (F) the amount includable in the Borrowing Base on account of
Loose Outboard Motors in the Eligible New Inventory shall never exceed one
million, five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000); (G) the amount includable
in the Borrowing Base on account of Eligible Parts Inventory shall never exceed
twelve million dollars ($12,000,000); and (H) if at the end of any calendar
quarter the Tangible Net Worth of the Borrowers shall have been less than
eighty-five million dollars ($85,000,000), during the immediately succeeding
calendar quarter (i) the amount included in the Borrowing Base for Eligible New
Inventory of Hatteras Yachts and Ferretti Yachts that is aged not more than
three hundred sixty-five (365) days from date of delivery to the Borrowers shall
be ninety percent (90%) of the original invoice price (including freight
charges, but excluding, to the extent that the same are included in the
Borrowing Base as Accounts, any earned volume purchase rebates, earned
advertising rebates, verifiable price protection, and earned incentives,
credits, or similar items) of such Eligible New Inventory, and (ii) the amount
included in the Borrowing Base for Eligible New Inventory of Hatteras Yachts and
Ferretti Yachts that is aged more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days, but
not more than seven hundred thirty (730) days, from date of delivery to the
Borrowers shall be eighty percent (80%) of the original invoice price (including
freight charges, but excluding, to the extent that the same are

23

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

 

included in the Borrowing Base as Accounts, any earned volume purchase rebates,
earned advertising rebates, verifiable price protection, and earned incentives,
credits, or similar items) of such Eligible New Inventory.
          (3) No Lender shall be permitted or required to make any Advance in
respect of the Commitment if, after giving effect thereto, the principal amount
of such Lender’s total outstanding Advances would exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata
Percentage of the Commitment Amount.
Because the Commitment creates a revolving credit facility, the Borrowers may
borrow under the Commitment, repay such Advances without premium or penalty, and
reborrow prior to the Termination Date in accordance with this Agreement.
          (b) Lenders and Pro Rata Percentages. Until such time as additional or
replacement Lenders are added in the manner contemplated by Section 9.05 or
Section 9.06 of this Agreement, the respective initial Pro Rata Percentages of
the initial Lenders in the Commitment shall be as follows:

          Lender   Pro Rata Percentage
BOA
    27 %
KeyBank
    20 %
GE Commercial
    18 %
National City
    6 %
Wachovia
    10 %
Wells Fargo
    7 %
US Bank
    6 %
BB&T
    6 %
 
       
TOTAL
    100 %

Each Lender shall have the right to participate a portion of its Pro Rata
Percentage of the Advances and the Commitment and to assign their Pro Rata
Percentage in the Advances and the Commitment in the manner permitted by
Section 9.04 of this Agreement.
          (c) Use of Advances. The Borrowers may use the proceeds of Advances to
fund the Borrowers’ acquisition of Inventory, for working capital purposes and
for other general corporate purposes of the Borrowers.
          (d) Periodic Statements. The Administrative Agent will send the
Company statements from time to time listing the amount of each Advance. If
Borrowers do not agree with a statement, they must immediately notify the
Administrative Agent in writing of the objections. The Borrowers’ failure to
notify the Administrative Agent of an objection within ten (10) Business Days
shall constitute an acceptance of the statement.
     2.02. Procedure for Advances. By delivering a completed Advance Request to
the Administrative Agent on or before 10:00 a.m., Cleveland time, on a Business
Day, the Company may from time to time irrevocably request, on a same-day basis,
that an Advance be made in a minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000)
and in integral multiples of one hundred

24

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

 

thousand dollars ($100,000) above such minimum, or in the maximum unused or
available amount of the Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall provide
notice of such Advance Request to the Lenders, on or before 12:00 noon,
Cleveland time, and before 3:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on such Business Day each
Lender shall deposit with the Agent same day funds in an amount equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the requested Advance. Such deposit will be made
to an account which the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by
notice to the Lenders. Subject to Section 8.03 of this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall make an Advance available to the Borrowers by wire
transfer of same-day funds to the accounts the Company shall have specified in
its Advance Request. If an Advance Request is delivered to the Administrative
Agent after 10:00 a.m., Cleveland time, then the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall be obligated to fund such Advance on the next Business Day.
     2.03. Promissory Notes. Each Lender’s Advances under the Commitment
initially shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note payable to the order of such
Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage
of the initial Commitment Amount. The principal amount outstanding under each
Lender’s Promissory Note from time to time shall be the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all Advances made by the Lender and shown by the records of
the Administrative Agent and the Lender.
     2.04. Prepayment and Repayment of Advances.
          (a) The Borrowers may terminate the Commitment in whole or reduce the
Commitment in part upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent, and on the date so specified for termination or reduction
of the Commitment, all outstanding Advances in excess of the Commitment Amount
as so reduced, accrued interest, charges, any Commitment Reduction Fee, and
other amounts owing to the Lenders and the Agents will be due and payable in
full. The only effect of any partial reduction of the Commitment shall be to
reduce the Commitment Amount, it being specifically agreed that all of the other
terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and
effect with respect to such reduced Commitment. Any termination of the
Commitment or reduction of the Commitment Amount by the Borrowers pursuant to
this Section shall be irrevocable.
          (b) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each is jointly,
severally and unconditionally liable for all Advances, accrued interest and
charges and all other amounts owing to the Lenders and the Agents under this
Agreement, regardless of which Borrower requested the financing or received the
funds and regardless of whether such Advances, accrued interest and charges and
other amounts owing to the Lenders exist as of the date of this Agreement or
should arise hereafter. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders are authorized
(in their reasonable discretion) to demand payment and performance of
obligations hereunder from any entity executing this Agreement, in any order.
          (c) The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may from time to
time with the consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement) modify, waive, or release the obligations of any Borrower,
release or impair any security for the performance of obligations of any
Borrower, or otherwise take or omit to take any action with respect to any such
Borrower, in every case without affecting the liability of any other Borrower.

25

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

 

     2.05. Interest on Advances.
          (a) All Advances shall bear interest at the applicable Loan Rate in
effect from time to time, with the Loan Rate to be determined based upon the
LIBOR Margin applicable at the date of determination.
          (b) The Loan Rate applicable at any time shall equal the sum of
(1) the LIBOR, and (2) the LIBOR Margin determined on the basis of the
Borrowers’ Pricing Tier. The applicable LIBOR Margin for each Pricing Tier shall
be as follows:

          Borrowers’ Pricing Tier   LIBOR Margin
Pricing Tier 1
    1.50 %
Pricing Tier 2
    1.75 %
Pricing Tier 3
    1.90 %
Pricing Tier 4
    2.00 %
Pricing Tier 5
    2.60 %

          (c) Interest will be calculated on a simple interest basis for a year
of three hundred sixty (360) days, based on actual days elapsed.
          (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, during the
continuance of any Event of Default the Borrowers shall pay interest at the
Default Rate on (1) the unpaid principal balance of the Advances, and (2) to the
fullest extent permitted by Law, any interest, fee, or other amount payable
hereunder that is not paid when due.
     2.06 Required Payments; Prepayments. The Borrowers shall make payments of
interest and principal to the Lenders as follows:
          (a) Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date.
          (b) If at any time the outstanding amount of the Advances in respect
of the Commitment shall exceed the then applicable Borrowing Base, the Borrowers
immediately shall make such principal payments to the Lenders as shall be
required to reduce the outstanding balance of the Advances to an amount not
exceeding the then applicable Borrowing Base.
          (c) The entire unpaid principal balance of the Advances, together with
accrued interest thereon, if not sooner paid as aforesaid, shall be due and
payable in full on the Termination Date.
The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Advances in whole or in part at
any time without premium or penalty.
     2.07. Manner of Payments. All payments on account of interest and principal
of the Advances shall be made to the Administrative Agent on or before 12:00
noon, Cleveland time, on the Business Day on which such payment is due, and on
or before 3:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on such Business Day, the Administrative
Agent shall remit each such payment to the Lenders in

26

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

 

accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages of the Commitment. If any such
payment is made to the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon, Cleveland time,
and such payment is not remitted to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent on
or before 3:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on such Business Day, the Borrowers (and
not the Administrative Agent) shall be solely responsible for interest on such
payment until the next Business Day; provided, however, that if such payment
were made to the Administrative Agent on or before 3:00 p.m., then no additional
interest shall be due to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender.
If any payment is due on a date that is not a Business Day, the due date will be
extended to the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
Lenders may, at any time and without notice to Borrowers, apply monies received
in payment of Borrowers’ obligations in such order of application as the
Administrative Agent shall determine. All payments shall be made in immediately
available United States dollars and without set-off, counterclaim or other
defense. The Borrowers specifically agree that they will not delay payment of
any obligations to the Lenders, or assert any defense or set-off with respect to
said obligations, on account of a dispute between the Borrowers and the vendor
or manufacturer of any Inventory.
     2.08 Undrawn Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders an Undrawn Commitment Fee calculated as
follows:
          (a) The Undrawn Commitment Fee shall be payable on the amount by which
the Commitment Amount shall exceed the average principal amount of Advances
outstanding under the Commitment during such calendar month.
          (b) For all months during which the interest on the Advances shall be
calculated on the basis of Pricing Tier 1 or Pricing Tier 2, the rate at which
such Undrawn Commitment Fee shall be calculated shall be an annualized amount
equal to ten basis points (i.e. 0.10%). For all months during which the interest
on the Advances shall be calculated on the basis of Pricing Tier 3, the rate at
which such Undrawn Commitment Fee shall be calculated shall be an annualized
amount equal to fifteen basis points (i.e. 0.15%). For all months during which
the interest on the Advances shall be calculated on the basis of Pricing Tier 4,
the rate at which such Undrawn Commitment Fee shall be calculated shall be an
annualized amount equal to twenty basis points (i.e. 0.20%). For all months
during which the interest on the Advances shall be calculated on the basis of
Pricing Tier 5 or the Default Rate, the rate at which such Undrawn Commitment
Fee shall be calculated shall be an annualized amount equal to twenty-five basis
points (i.e. 0.25%). The calculation shall be performed on the basis of a three
hundred sixty (360) day year for actual days elapsed.
          (c) The Undrawn Commitment Fee shall be calculated on a monthly basis
but shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates in
February, May, August, and November.
     2.09 Commitment Reduction Fee. If the Borrowers shall terminate or reduce
the Commitment in whole or in part at any time or times prior to the first
anniversary of the date of this Agreement, at the effective date of each such
termination or reduction they shall pay to the Lenders a Commitment Reduction
Fee; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay a
Commitment Reduction Fee more than once on the same reduced portion of the
Commitment. Such Commitment Reduction Fee shall equal the Undrawn Commitment Fee

27

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

 

calculated in accordance with Section 2.08 for the time period from the
effective date of the reduction or termination to the first anniversary of the
date of this Agreement, using the reduced Commitment Amount after giving effect
to the reduction or termination as the outstanding principal amount of Advances
under the Commitment for such period. For purposes of such calculation, for the
entire period from the effective date of each reduction or termination to the
first anniversary of the date of this Agreement the Borrowers shall be deemed to
be in whatever Pricing Tier they were in at the effective date of the reduction
or termination.
     2.10. Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other
recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise)
on account of any Advance in excess of its Pro Rata Percentage of payments then
or theretofore obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the
other Lenders such participations in Advances made by them as shall be necessary
to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery
ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the
excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a
participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the
purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount
equal to such selling Lender’s ratable share [according to the proportion of
(a) the amount of such selling Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing
Lender to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender] of any
interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of
the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so
purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to
the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law, any Lender receives a
secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender
shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured
claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this
Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
     2.11. Lenders’ Right of Set-off. The Borrowers hereby grant the Lenders a
lien on, and a security interest in, the deposit balances, accounts, items,
trusts (as permitted by Law), certificates of deposit and monies of the
Borrowers in the possession of or on deposit with any of the Lenders, or any of
their Affiliates to secure, and as collateral for, the payment and performance
of the Obligations. The Lenders may at any time and from time to time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, appropriate and
set-off against and apply the same to the Obligations when and as due and
payable.
     2.12. Liability of the Real Estate Subsidiaries. The Real Estate
Subsidiaries are Borrowers under this Agreement. The Real Estate Subsidiaries
are not required to grant the Collateral Agent a Lien on any of their Property,
but no Real Estate Subsidiary shall own any Property other than Real Property
Interests.

28

Borrower has purchased or acquired from anyone that theretofore was not a
Documented Vessel to become a Documented Vessel unless, in either such case
(A) there shall be executed by such Borrower and recorded with the Coast Guard
in the manner contemplated by the Preferred Mortgage Act, a Preferred Ship’s
Mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
encumbering such Documented Vessel as collateral security for the Obligations,
and (B) such Preferred Ship’s Mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders creates a first priority Lien on such Documented Vessel,
subject only to Permitted Liens.
          (b) If at any time the three (3) immediately preceding monthly
Borrowing Base Certificates shall reveal that the unpaid principal amount of
Advances under this Agreement plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall
equal or exceed ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate amount included in the
Borrowing Base in respect of Eligible New Inventory and Eligible Used Inventory
on such Borrowing Base Certificates, then the Collateral Agent on behalf of the
Lenders may request from the Borrowers in writing, and the Borrowers shall
provide to the Collateral Agent within five (5) Business Days of such request, a
written list of all Documented Vessels in the Eligible Used Inventory that are
included in the Borrowing Base (it being acknowledged that no such Documented
Vessel would be includable in the Borrowing Base if any Person other than the
Collateral Agent should have a Preferred Ship’s Mortgage on such Documented
Vessel that had not been extinguished by payment in full and delivery of a
written satisfaction of such Preferred Ship’s Mortgage, irrespective of whether
such satisfaction had been filed with the Coast Guard), and the value at which
each such Documented Vessel has been included in the Borrowing Base. Following
receipt of such list, the Required Lenders may, by written notice to the
Borrowers, require that the Borrowers (1) file with the Coast Guard in the
manner contemplated by the Documentation of Vessels Act such documentation as

Ship’s Mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
encumbering each such Documented Vessel as collateral security for the
Obligations and creating in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders a first priority Lien on each such Documented Vessel, subject only to
Permitted Liens. In lieu of requiring the filing with respect to all Documented
Vessels shown on such list of (A) such documentation as shall be necessary to
transfer record ownership to the Borrowers, and (B) Preferred Ship’s Mortgages
in favor of the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders in their discretion may
direct the Borrowers to make such filings on only the particular Documented
Vessels on such list that the Required Lenders shall designate to the Borrowers
in writing.
          (c) If at any time the three (3) immediately preceding monthly
Borrowing Base Certificates shall reveal that the unpaid principal amount of
Advances under this Agreement plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall
equal or exceed ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate amount included in the
Borrowing Base in respect of Eligible New Inventory and Eligible Used Inventory
on such Borrowing Base Certificates, then the Collateral Agent on behalf of the
Lenders may request from the Borrowers in writing, and the Borrowers shall
provide to the Collateral Agent within five (5) Business Days of such request, a
written list of all vessels in the Eligible New Inventory and the Eligible Used
Inventory that have a value in the Borrowing Base of one million, five hundred
thousand dollars ($1,500,000) or more, and the value at which each such vessel
has been included in the Borrowing Base. Following receipt of such list, the
Required Lenders may, by written notice to the Borrowers, require that the
Borrowers: (1) file with the Coast Guard in the manner contemplated by the
Documentation of Vessels Act such documentation as shall be necessary to make
each vessel shown on such list a Documented Vessel (to the extent such filing
theretofore shall not have been made), and (2) execute and record with the Coast
Guard in the manner contemplated by the Preferred Mortgage Act a Preferred
Ship’s Mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
encumbering each such Documented Vessel as collateral security for the
Obligations, and creating in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders a first priority Lien on such Documented Vessel, subject only to
Permitted Liens. In lieu of requiring the filing with respect to all vessels
shown on such list of (A) documentation of Borrowers’ record ownership, and
(B) Preferred Ship’s Mortgages in favor of the Collateral Agent, the Required
Lenders in their discretion may direct the Borrowers to make such filings on
only the particular vessels on such list that the Required Lenders shall
designate to the Borrowers in writing.
          (d) Whenever the Borrowers shall certify to the Collateral Agent that
a Documented Vessel theretofore included in the Inventory and subject to a
Preferred Ship’s Mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders is to be sold to a customer, the Collateral Agent promptly shall
execute and deliver a satisfaction of such Preferred Ship’s Mortgage upon
receipt of evidence of either (1) payment of the purchase price of such
Documented Vessel, or (2) the receipt of a Contract in Transit as to such
Documented Vessel, and, in either such case, the elimination of such Documented
Vessel from the Borrowing Base.
          (e) All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
documentation of Documented Vessels, the abstracting of Coast Guard records, and
the preparation and filing of Preferred Ship’s Mortgages on Documented Vessels
shall be borne by the Borrowers.

     4.05. Insurance of Collateral. Borrowers shall keep all tangible Collateral
(including, particularly, Inventory) insured for full value against all
insurable risks, on terms and with insurers reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, and with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders as the loss payee, assignee or additional insured, as appropriate. The
Company shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent in writing at least ten
(10) days before changing or canceling any policy. Each policy shall require the
insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent of cancellation, and shall provide that the Collateral

neglect of Borrowers or any other Person nor by any use of such Collateral or
the premises on which it is located for purposes more hazardous than are
permitted by the policy.
     4.06. Further Assurances. The Borrowers shall execute such financing
statements and other instruments and agreements, and shall take such actions, as

file any financing statement, Preferred Ship’s Mortgage required by

parties also agree that a copy of this Agreement, or any financing statement may
be filed as a financing statement in any appropriate jurisdiction, to the extent
permitted by Law.

          (b) other capital expenditures exceeding thirty-three million dollars
($33,000,000) per year.
     6.15. Transactions with Affiliates. Except as permitted herein, no Borrower
shall enter into or be party to a transaction with an Affiliate (except another
Borrower), except on terms no less favorable than could be obtained on an
arm’s-length basis with a Person that is not an Affiliate. No Borrower shall
make any loans or advances to any of its officers, shareholders

42

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

 

or other Affiliates (except another Borrower), except for draws for commissioned

EVENTS OF DEFAULT
     7.01. Events of Default. Each of the following shall be an “Event of

voluntary or involuntary, by operation of Law or otherwise, unless waived in
writing by the Required Lenders:
          (a) Borrowers shall either (1) fail to pay any principal owing
hereunder when due (without any grace period); or (2) Borrowers shall fail to
pay any interest or other amounts payable under any Loan Documents within
fifteen (15) days after the due date therefor;

shall not be cured within thirty (30) days after the earlier of knowledge
thereof by an officer of Borrowers, or after written notice of the Default is
delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Company, but if the Default is
subject to cure (it being agreed that for this purpose Defaults under
Sections 6.01(a), 6.01(b) and 6.01(c) are among the Defaults that are subject to
cure) and the cure is being diligently pursued by appropriate means at the end
of such thirty (30) days, then the Borrowers shall have an additional thirty
(30) days thereafter to complete the cure of the Default (which shall mean, in
the case of any Defaults under Sections 6.01(a), 6.01(b), and 6.01(c), that such
financial covenants will be tested as of the end of the calendar month next
succeeding the last month included in the original period with respect to which
the cure of a Default is required); provided, however, that if the same Default
shall occur more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, then that

Governmental Body for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or liquidator of
it or any of its assets, or shall commence any proceedings under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, liquidation or other debtor relief Laws;
(5) any petition shall be filed, or any such proceedings shall be commenced,
against any Borrower under any such Laws and the same is not dismissed or
otherwise discharged within ninety (90) days, or an order, judgment or decree
shall be entered approving such petition or appointing any trustee, receiver or
liquidator for any Borrower, or any of their assets; or (6) any final order,
judgment, or decree shall be entered decreeing the dissolution, split-up or
divestiture of assets of any Borrower;
          (f) Any lender(s) under any of the real estate Debt shown on Exhibit F
hereto shall declare such Debt due and payable prior to its stated maturity as a
result of breach of a due-on-sale clause, and such action shall result in a

Contingent Liability of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or more in the
aggregate shall be declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid,
prior to the stated maturity thereof; provided, however, it shall not be an
Event of Default if the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment when due with
respect to any Debt to a manufacturer or vendor of Inventory if such Borrowers
are in good faith contesting the payment of such Debt and the aggregate amount
of all such contested Debt does not exceed two million, five hundred thousand
dollars ($2,500,000);
          (g) The Borrowers shall have any final judgment(s) outstanding against
them for the payment of two million dollars ($2,000,000) or more in excess of
insurance, and such judgment(s) shall remain unstayed and unpaid for over thirty
(30) days;
          (h) There shall be an issuance of an order of attachment against the
Borrowers or any material portion of their Property, or there shall be damage to
or destruction of a substantial part of the Borrowers’ assets that is not
covered by insurance;
          (i) Any investigation or proceeding shall be instituted against any of
the Borrowers under or with respect to any Environmental Laws that could

insurance;

44

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

 

          (j) Company shall have any material change in its management, without
prior written consent of the Required Lenders, or there shall be a Change of
Control, without prior written consent of the Required Lenders; or
          (k) The Required Lenders shall determine that there has been a
Material Adverse Change.
     7.02. Remedies Upon Event of Default. If an Event of Default described in
Section 7.01(e) hereof shall occur with respect to any Borrower all amounts
owing to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become
immediately due and payable without any action by the Lenders, and without
diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or intent to
accelerate, or notice of any other kind, all of which are hereby waived to the
fullest extent permitted by Law. If any other Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, the Lenders may do any one or more of the following from time to
time:
          (a) Cease making Advances under the Commitment;
          (b) Declare all Advances, interest and other amounts owing to the
Lenders immediately due and payable, whereupon they shall be due and payable
without diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or intent to
accelerate, or notice of any other kind, all of which are hereby waived to the
fullest extent permitted by Law;
          (c) Terminate or reduce the Commitment; and/or
          (d) Exercise any other Rights afforded under any agreement, by Law, at
equity or otherwise, including those Rights of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code. Such Rights shall include the right to cancel any unfunded
Advances, to direct the Borrowers to return any Inventory to a vendor or
manufacturer thereof for credit or refund, to enter any of Borrowers’ premises
with or without legal process, but without force, and/or to take possession of
and remove Collateral, and books and records relating to Collateral. At the
Collateral Agent’s request during an Event of Default, the Borrowers will
assemble, prepare for removal and make available to the Collateral Agent at a
place to be designated by the Collateral Agent which is reasonably convenient to
both parties such items of Collateral as the Collateral Agent may from time to
time request. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent may take control of any funds generated by the Collateral, notify Account
Debtors to make payment to an account or location designated by the Collateral
Agent, and in the Collateral Agent’s name or any Borrower’s name, demand,
collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, sue for, repossess, accept returns of,
foreclose or realize upon any Collateral, including without limitation Accounts
and related instruments and security therefor. The Borrowers waive any and all
rights that any of them may have to a notice prior to seizure by any Lender of
any Collateral. Ten (10) days’ written notice of a public sale date or the date
after which a private sale may occur shall be a reasonable notice. The Lenders
shall not be charged with responsibility for the accuracy or validity of any
document or for the existence or value of any Collateral, and shall not be
liable for failure to collect any amounts owing on an Account or instrument. The
Borrowers waive all relief from all appraisement, valuation, deficiency or
exemption Laws now in force or hereafter enacted. The Lenders shall not be
required and Borrowers hereby waive any and all rights to require the Lenders,
(1) to prosecute or seek to

45

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

 

enforce any remedies against any particular Borrower and/or (2) to require the
Lenders to seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any
security interests, liens or encumbrances granted to Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders by any particular Borrower. The Lenders, in their
discretion, may enforce this Agreement against any Borrower or any Collateral of
any Borrower. NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ITS OFFICERS,
AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES, ABSENT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
     7.03. Power of Attorney. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoint the
Administrative Agent, including any officer or employee of the Administrative
Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, as the Borrowers’ true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with power of substitution to do the following acts on
behalf of the Borrowers’ during the continuance of any Event of Default: to
prepare, execute and deliver in the name of Borrowers security instruments (but
not expanding the definition of any Collateral), financing statements, lien
filings and certificates of title relating to Collateral; to endorse any
Borrower’s name upon any notes, checks, drafts, money orders and other forms of
instruments made payable to any Borrower and relating to Collateral; and
generally to perform all acts and do all things necessary and proper in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or in discharge of the
powers hereby conferred, including the making of affidavits and the
acknowledgment of instruments as fully as if done by the Borrowers. The
foregoing powers are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, as long
as the Commitment or any Obligations of Borrowers to the Lenders remain
outstanding.
     7.04. Cumulative Rights. All Rights available to the Lenders under the Loan
Documents shall be cumulative of and in addition to all other Rights under any
other agreement, at Law or in equity. The acceptance by the Lenders at any time
and from time to time of partial payment of any amount owing under any Loan
Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default then
existing. No waiver by the Lenders of an Event of Default shall be deemed to be
a waiver of any Event of Default other than such Event of Default. No delay or
omission by the Lenders in exercising any Right under the Loan Documents shall
impair such Right or be construed as a waiver thereof or an acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any Right preclude other or
further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other Right under the Loan
Documents or otherwise.
     7.05. Performance by the Lenders; Expenditures. Should any covenant of
Borrowers fail to be performed in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents, the Lenders may, at their option, attempt to perform such covenant on
behalf of Borrowers. It is expressly understood, however, that the Lenders do
not assume and shall never have any liability or responsibility for the
performance of any obligations of Borrowers. Any amounts expended or incurred by
any Lender in the performance of any such act or in the enforcement of this
Agreement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall constitute part of the
obligations secured hereunder, will bear interest at the Default Rate and will
be payable upon demand.
     7.06. Control. None of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to give the
Lenders any right to exercise control over the affairs and/or management of the
Borrowers, which the parties agree is retained by the Borrowers.

46

given to it by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
          (b) Each Lender hereby appoints BOA as the Collateral Agent on the
following terms:
          (1) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such
action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under
this Agreement and the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Collateral Agent
by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are
reasonably incidental thereto.
          (2) The Collateral Agent shall be named as the secured party holding
the Lenders’ security interests in the Collateral as security for the
Obligations.
          (3) The following rules and procedures shall apply to Collateral
inspections by the Collateral Agent:
               (A) In the absence of an Inspection Increase Event and, after any

Borrower with its Borrowing Base Certificate for the inspection month.
                    (ii) Once an inspection is completed and reconciled, the
Collateral variance will be calculated and the Lenders and Borrowers will be
notified of the variance amount. The variance amount will be calculated using
the total dollars reported. The standard time to be used for the removal of
items from the Borrowing Base will be forty-eight (48) hours of the sale date.
Any downward variance amount of three percent (3%) or more (with such percentage
to be rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent) shall be applied to the total
collateral value for all types of Collateral shown by the current Borrowing Base
Certificate and all Borrowing Base Certificiates submitted prior to the time
when a new variance is calculated at the next inspection of Eligible New
Inventory and Eligible Used Inventory.

48

Transit described in such Borrowing Base Certificate.
          (4) The Collateral Agent will visit the Company’s headquarters from
time to time to conduct a Field Audit with a view toward assuring that the
Company’s representations in the Borrowing Base Certificates are reasonable and
are presented using numbers derived in accordance with GAAP. Such Field Audit
may include or consist entirely of sampling of invoices representing inventory
purchases and Accounts. The frequency of such Field Audits shall be as follows:
               (A) If any two successive monthly Borrowing Base Certificates

plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall equal or exceed ninety percent
(90%) of the aggregate amount included in the Borrowing Base in respect of
Eligible New Inventory and Eligible Used Inventory, such Field Audits shall be
conducted on a quarterly basis until such time as any two successive monthly

          (5) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or
the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of
the Promissory Notes), the Collateral 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 the Required Lenders, and such instructions
shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Promissory Notes; provided,
however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that
exposes the Collateral Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this
Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable Law. The Collateral Agent agrees to
give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrowers
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
          (6) The Collateral Agent will communicate the results of the foregoing
reviews to the Lenders within fifteen (15) Business Days of the conclusion of
the related field work.
          (7) From time to time at the request of the Required Lenders made in
the exercise of their reasonable discretion, but not more than once in any
twelve (12) month period in the absence of a material Default, the Collateral
Agent shall obtain at the Borrowers’ expense such UCC, tax lien, and judgment
searches as the Required Lenders have requested.

to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable Law. The Documentation Agent
agrees to give to each Lender

50

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

 

prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Documentation Agent shall
have no further duties and shall perform no other services after the closing of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
     8.02. Agents’ Reliance, Etc. An Agent, its directors, officers, agents or
employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (a) may treat the
payee of any Promissory Note as the holder thereof until such Agent receives
conclusive evidence of a legally effective transfer in accordance with
Section 9.04 of this Agreement; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including
counsel for the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be

or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants
or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of the

respect to the inspection of certain of the Collateral as set forth in
Section 8.01(b) of this Agreement; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender
for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security
interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent and the
Documentation Agent (with respect to the Documentation Agent, solely as to the
period prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
have certain duties with respect to filing and continuation of financing
statements and Preferred Ship’s Mortgages (in certain cases) covering the
Collateral; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier,
telegram, electronic mail or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or
sent by the proper party or parties.
     8.03. Funding Reliance, Etc. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 10:30 a.m.,
Cleveland time, at least one day prior to an Advance, that such Lender will not
make available the amount which would constitute its Pro Rata Percentage of such
Advance on the date specified therefor, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding
amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount
available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally
agree to repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the
Administrative Agent made such amount available to the Borrowers to the date
such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate
applicable at the time to Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified in any fashion by a Lender that
such Lender will not be making any

51

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

 

particular Advance (irrespective of whether under the circumstances the
Administrative Agent would have been entitled, under the first sentence of this
Section, to assume that such Lender would be making the Advance) or if a Lender
has not deposited same day funds with the Administrative Agent as required by
Section 2.02, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to make an Advance
on behalf of such Lender. No Lender’s obligation to make an Advance shall be
affected by any other Lender’s failure to make any Advance.
     8.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based
on the financial statements referred to in Section 5.04 and such other documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement.
     8.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers to the extent provided in the Loan
Documents), according to Pro Rata Percentages of each of them (or if no
Promissory Notes are at the time outstanding or if any Promissory Notes are held
by Persons that are not Lenders, according to the Pro Rata Percentages of their
Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against any Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by any Agent
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Indemnified
Costs”); provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the
Indemnified Costs resulting from an Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse
each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket
expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for
such expenses by the Borrowers to the extent provided in the Loan Documents. In
the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any
Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by an Agent, a Lender or a third party.
     8.06. Advances and Loans by Agents and Their Affiliates; Other Agents and
Affiliates. If at any time any Lender is also an Agent hereunder, then, with
respect to its Commitment, the Advances made by it and the Promissory Note
issued to it, such Lender shall have the same rights, powers, obligations and
duties under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not an Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated, include such Lender in its individual capacity.
If at any time any Lender is also an Agent hereunder, such Lender and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under
indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage
in any kind of business with, the Borrowers, any of their Affiliates, and any
Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrowers or any

52

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

 

of their Affiliates, all as if such Lender were not an Agent and without any
duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
     8.07. Compensation of Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to certain
compensation for its services as follows:
          (a) The Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent quarterly in
advance for each calendar quarter an Administrative Agent fee dependent upon the
Pricing Tier of the Borrowers for such calendar quarter, as follows:

     
Pricing Tier 1
  $  9,000 per calendar quarter
Pricing Tier 2
  $  9,000 per calendar quarter
Pricing Tier 3
  $  9,000 per calendar quarter
Pricing Tier 4
  $11,500 per calendar quarter
Pricing Tier 5
  $14,000 per calendar quarter

          (b) For every month that the Collateral Agent conducts an inspection,
the Lenders will pay the Collateral Agent a fee of five hundred dollars ($500)
plus seventy-five dollars ($75) per location inspected, other than the Company’s
headquarters location, and three dollars ($3) for each Unit inspected in the
manner contemplated by Section 8.01(b). The Collateral Agent will bill the
Administrative Agent on a quarterly basis for such services and the
Administrative Agent then will bill each Lender its Pro Rata Percentage of such
charges.
          (c) The Borrowers will pay the Collateral Agent a fee of seven hundred
fifty dollars ($750) per day plus out of pocket expenses for (1) the Field
Audits contemplated by Section 8.01(b)(4), and (2) any additional Field Audits
that the Required Lenders, in their reasonable discretion, deem it necessary for
the Collateral Agent to conduct on behalf of the Lenders at the Company’s
headquarters.
          (d) The Borrowers will pay the Collateral Agent and the Documentation
Agent annually in advance a fee of seven thousand, five hundred dollars
($7,500), with the first such annual payment to be paid at the closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Documentation Agent shall have
no further duties and shall perform no other services after the closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, so all payments subsequent to the
payment made at the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall be solely in respect of service as the Collateral Agent.
     8.08. Successor Agents. An Agent may resign at any time by giving at least
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers
and may be removed at any time with or without cause by all of the Lenders other
than the Lender being removed. Upon any such resignation or removal, all of the
Lenders (other than any Lender that has been removed as an Agent) and the
Borrowers, if not then in material Default, shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent. If an Agent is being removed, the notice of removal shall
include the designation of a successor Agent approved by the other Lenders and
by the Borrowers if the Borrowers are not then in material Default. If an Agent
shall have given notice of its resignation and within thirty (30) days after the
giving of such notice no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
other Lenders and the Borrowers (or solely by the other Lenders if the

53

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

 

Borrowers are then in material Default) and shall have accepted such
appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of both the Lenders and the
Borrowers appoint a successor Agent to such Agent’s capacity. In no event shall
the term of any Agent end until the successor Agent has been appointed and shall
have accepted such appointment. Any successor Agent shall be one of the Lenders
or a financial institution organized under the Laws of the U.S. (or any State
thereof) or a U.S. branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in
either case having a combined capital and surplus of at least five hundred
million dollars ($500,000,000) or being a wholly owned subsidiary of a financial
institution that on a consolidated basis has combined capital and surplus of at
least five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000). Upon the successor Agent’s
acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall
be entitled to receive from the retiring or removed Agent such documents of
transfer and assignment as such successor Agent reasonably may request, and
thereupon shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After
any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this
Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
     9.01. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
any Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom,
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Required Lenders, or if so provided in this Agreement, by the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent, and then any such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given. In the cases of any actions specified in clauses (a) through (h) of the
definition of “Required Lenders” and in any other case in which this Agreement
prescribes approval by all Lenders, no approval, waiver, consent, or amendment
shall be deemed given by the Lenders unless all of the Lenders shall have
approved such actions.

other communications under the Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be

or to such other address as any party shall hereafter designate in written
notice to the other party. All notices, demands and other communications will be
effective when so personally delivered or sent by facsimile, one (1) Business
Day after being sent by national overnight courier service, or five (5) days
after being so mailed; provided, however, that notices to the Lenders pursuant
to Article II hereof shall only be effective when received.
     9.03. Parties in Interest. The Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto, and their successors and assigns. The Borrowers
may not assign or transfer any of their Rights or obligations hereunder (whether
voluntarily or by operation of Law), without the prior written consent of all of
the Lenders. The Lenders may assign or participate their rights and obligations
under this Agreement as provided in Section 9.04.
     9.04. Assignments and Participations.
          (a) Assignments. No Lender shall have the right to assign its interest
in the Advances or the Commitment; provided, however, that any Lender may at any
time, without the consent of the Borrowers or the other Lenders, assign all, but
not less than all, of its Advances and Commitments to one or more Affiliates.
Although the assignees under this Section shall become Lenders, no such
assignment to Affiliates shall relieve the assigning Lender of its obligations
under this Agreement.
          (b) Participations.
          (1) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrowers
or the other Lenders, sell or otherwise transfer to one or more of its
Affiliates all or any part of its participating interests in any of the
Advances, Commitments, or other interests of such Lender hereunder.
          (2) Any Lender may at any time, with the consent of the Company, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, sell to one or more commercial banks,
finance companies, funds, or other Persons that are not Affiliates of the
Lender, participating interests in any of the Advances, Commitments, or other
interests of such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that:
               (A) the amount of the participating interest sold to such Person
that is not an Affiliate of the Lender shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of
such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Commitment;

58

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

 

               (B) unless otherwise agreed by all of the Lenders, any Lender
that serves as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent must hold for
its own account, net of any such approved participations to Persons other than
Affiliates, at least twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate Advances and
Commitment under this Agreement.
          (3) No participation contemplated in this Section 9.04 shall relieve
such Lender from its Commitments or its other obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Document. Such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
performance of its Commitments and such other obligations.
          (4) The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and shall
not deal with the Person (whether or not an Affiliate of the Lender) purchasing
or otherwise acquiring such participation (a “Participant”); and
          (5) No Participant shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or
refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
except that such Lender may agree with any Participant that such Lender will
not, without such Participant’s consent, agree to extend the due date of any
Advances under this Agreement.
     9.05 Addition of Lenders. If the Borrowers shall request an increase in the
Commitment Amount and all of the existing Lenders approve the increase of the
Commitment Amount but do not want to commit for such increase for their own
accounts, then, with the approval of all Lenders, new Lenders may be admitted
under this Agreement. The aggregate amount of the Commitments of such new
Lenders shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the addition to the Commitment
Amount, or (b) the portion of the addition to the Commitment Amount that the
existing Lenders do not want to take for their own accounts. At the time when
any such new Lenders are added, each existing Lender shall assign to the Lenders
a portion of its outstanding Advances that shall result in the new Lender’s
having a portion of the outstanding Advances that is the same as its Pro Rata
Percentage of the Commitment Amount, as increased.
     9.06 Replacement of Lenders.
          (a) If any Lender defaults in the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement, the Borrowers, with the consent of all of the Lenders other than
the defaulting Lender, shall have the right to replace the defaulting Lender.
          (b) If the Borrowers (if not in material Default) and all of the other
Lenders shall desire to replace any Lender, they may, upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to the Lender and with or without cause, replace such
Lender with another Lender selected and approved by the Borrowers (if not in
material Default) and all such other Lenders and named in such notice to the
Lender being replaced. If such replacement shall occur prior to the first
anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Borrowers, if they shall have
supported such replacement, or the other Lenders (based on their respective Pro
Rata Percentages, but calculated as hereinafter provided), if the Borrowers
shall not have supported such replacement (by virtue

59

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

 

of the fact that the Borrowers were in material Default) shall pay to the
replaced Lender a Commitment Reduction Fee from the effective date of such
Lender’s replacement to the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement on
the full amount of such replaced Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Commitment.
In addition, the Borrowers, if they shall have supported such replacement, or
the other Lenders (based on their respective Pro Rata Percentages, but
calculated as hereinafter provided), if the Borrowers shall not have supported
such replacement (by virtue of the fact that the Borrowers were in material
Default) shall pay to the replaced Lender all costs, expenses, and reasonable
attorneys’ fees that the replaced Lender incurs in connection with assigning to
the replacement Lender without recourse its interests as a Lender under the Loan
Documents. Any payments required to be made by the other Lenders to the replaced
Lender shall be apportioned among the other Lenders based on their respective
Pro Rata Percentages, so that each other Lender’s share of the amounts payable
by the Lenders under this Section shall equal that fraction of the total of
which (1) the numerator is such other Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage, and (2) the
denominator is the total Pro Rata Percentages of all such other Lenders.
          (c) If any Lender replaced under this Section shall have been an Agent
(other than the Documentation Agent, which has no duties after the date of this
Agreement), then such Agent shall be deemed removed at the effective date of
such Lender’s replacement, and the procedure for selection of a successor Agent
shall be as set forth in Section 8.08 of this Agreement.
     9.07. Costs, Expenses and Taxes.
          (a) Expenses for Initial Closing. The expenses for the documentation
and closing of the transaction contemplated hereby shall be borne as follows:
          (1) the legal fees and expenses of counsel to the Documentation Agent
will be payable by the Borrowers.
          (2) Except for the Documentation Agent, each party which chooses to
engage counsel on its own behalf in connection with the documentation and
closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be responsible
for its own legal expenses.
          (3) Travel expenses associated with closing and due diligence are for
the account of each individual Lender.
          (b) Other Expenses. Other expenses incurred in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be
borne as follows:
          (1) Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay on demand (A) all
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with any extension, modification,
waiver or release of any Loan Documents or any Collateral, and (B) all costs and
expenses of the Lenders incurred in any work-out or enforcement of any Loan
Documents, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the costs and expenses of
environmental or other consultants.

60

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

 

            (2) Borrowers shall pay any stamp, debt, recordation, withholding
and other Taxes payable in connection with any Loan Documents or payments
thereunder (other than Taxes on the overall net income of any Lender), and
agrees to save the Lenders harmless from and against all liabilities relating to
any Taxes.
All payments by Borrowers shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any Taxes of any nature now or hereafter existing.
     9.08. Indemnification by Borrowers. BORROWERS, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, AGREE
TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE LENDERS, THEIR AFFILIATES, AND ALL OF
THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS,
ATTORNEYS AND ASSIGNS, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS,
LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, CLAIMS, COSTS, EXPENSES
AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON,
INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY OF THEM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING
OUT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY TRANSACTION RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, OR ANY
ACT, OMISSION OR TRANSACTION OF THE BORROWERS OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, OR ANY
OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT BORROWERS SHALL NOT INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS ANY
INDEMNIFIED PERSON FOR LOSSES OR DAMAGES THAT BORROWERS PROVE WERE CAUSED BY
SUCH PERSON’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER NEGLIGENCE. THE
LENDERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO THE BORROWERS FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. This
indemnity shall survive repayment of the Obligations to the Lenders.
     9.09. Hazardous Waste Indemnification. The Borrowers, jointly and
severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lenders, their Affiliates, and
all of their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents,
successors, attorneys and assigns, from and against any loss, damage, cost,
expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to
the use, generation, manufacture, treatment, production, storage, release,
threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of any Hazardous Materials
on, under or about the Borrowers’ real property or operations or real property
leased to the Borrowers, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees (including
the reasonable estimate of the allocated cost of in-house counsel and staff).
This indemnity shall survive repayment of the Obligations to the Lenders.
     9.10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. BORROWERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LENDERS HAVE
MADE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY INVENTORY OR OTHER
COLLATERAL, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY. BORROWERS IRREVOCABLY
WAIVE ANY CLAIMS AGAINST THE LENDERS WITH RESPECT TO THE INVENTORY AND OTHER
COLLATERAL WHETHER FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE. Any such claims shall
not alter, diminish or otherwise impair Borrowers’ liabilities or obligations to
the Lenders under the Loan Documents. The

61

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

 

Lenders do not assume any obligations of Borrowers relating to the Inventory,
any Accounts, any contract obligations, or any other obligations or duties
arising from the Collateral.
     9.11. Rate Provision. It is not the intention of any party to any Loan
Document to make an agreement violative of the Laws of any applicable
jurisdiction relating to usury. In no event shall Borrowers be obligated to pay
any amount in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted under
applicable Law. If from any circumstance any Lender ever shall receive anything
of value deemed excess interest under applicable Law, an amount equal to such
excess shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of outstanding
Advances and any remainder shall be refunded to the payor.
     9.12. Severability; Counterparts. If any provision of any Loan Documents is
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future Laws during
the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable, and the Loan
Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof. This Agreement and
the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts.
     9.13. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Georgia.
The state and federal courts located in Atlanta, Georgia, including the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, shall have jurisdiction to
determine any claim or dispute pertaining to this Agreement. The parties
expressly submit and consent to such jurisdiction, and waive any claim of
inconvenient forum.
     9.14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAWS OF
ANY FORUM STATE, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR
ANY RELATED MATTERS.
     9.15. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE EXHIBITS HERETO SUPERSEDE THE CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED AS OF
DECEMBER 18, 2001, THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED
AS OF FEBRUARY 3, 2005, AS HERETOFORE AMENDED, AND THE CORRESPONDING EXHIBITS
THERETO, AND THE PROMISSORY NOTES BEING DELIVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SUPERSEDE
ALL PROMISSORY NOTES HERETOFORE EXECUTED AND DELIVERED. ALL OTHER EXISTING LOAN
DOCUMENTS NOT SPECIFICALLY SUPERSEDED SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THIS
AGREEMENT, THE EXHIBITS HERETO, OR THE NEW PROMISSORY NOTES BEING DELIVERED
HEREUNDER. THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
