asset value to Bank or such Control Person of the Loans made or maintained by Bank, in either case
to a level below that which Bank or such Control Person could have achieved or would thereafter be
able to achieve but for such introduction, phasing in, change or compliance (after taking into
account Bank’s or such Control Person’s policies regarding capital), in either case by an amount
which Bank in its reasonable judgment deems material, then, on demand by Bank, Borrowers shall pay
to Bank or such Control Person such additional amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to
compensate Bank or such Control Person, as the case may be, for such reduction.

thereof by Bank, for any reason no longer constitute a Business Day, Bank may change such specified

     3.4 Reimbursement Obligations.

          (a) Borrowers agree to reimburse the Bank on the same Business Day on which a draft is
presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Bank, provided that the Bank provides notice
to Administrative Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m., Phoenix, Arizona time, on such Business Day and
otherwise Borrowers will reimburse the Bank on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, further,
that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect Borrowers’ absolute and unconditional

Credit. The Bank shall provide notice to Borrower on such Business Day as a draft is presented and
paid by the Bank indicating the amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges

          (b) Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by Borrowers under this
Section from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Revolving
Loans that are (i) in the case of the first day on which such amounts become payable (except where
such amounts become payable by reason of the acceleration thereof), Loans which were not then
overdue and (ii) in all cases to which clause (i) is not applicable, Loans which were then overdue.

          (c) Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by Borrowers to Bank
for a Borrowing of a Revolving Loan. The date of such drawing shall be deemed the date on which
such Borrowing is made.

     3.5 Obligations Absolute.

          (a) Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall be absolute and unconditional under
any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which
any Borrower may have or have had against the Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit.

          (b) Borrowers also agree with the Bank that Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations under Section
3.4 shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) the validity or genuineness of documents or
of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid,
fraudulent or forged, or (ii) any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or (iii) any
claims whatsoever of any Borrower against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such
transferee.

any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence
or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC, shall be
binding on Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of the Bank to Borrowers.

     3.6 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any
Letter of Credit, the responsibility of the Bank to Borrowers in connection with such draft shall,
in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited
to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in
connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. In determining
whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, only the Bank shall be responsible for determining that
the documents and certificates required to be delivered under the Letter of Credit have been
delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

20

 

     3.7 Outstanding Letters of Credit Following Event of Default. With respect to all
Letters of Credit outstanding upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall either
replace such Letters of Credit, whereupon such Letters of Credit shall be canceled, with letters of
credit issued by another issuer acceptable to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or provide
the Bank, as security for such Letters of Credit, with a cash collateral deposit in an amount equal
to one hundred percent (100%) of the Letter of Credit Usage for so long as such Letters of Credit
remain outstanding during the continuance of such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default.
Borrowers hereby grant to Bank a security interest in such cash collateral to secure all
Obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Amounts held in such
cash collateral account shall be applied by Bank to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters
of Credit and the payment of customary costs and expenses charged or incurred by the Bank in
connection therewith, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have
expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations. After all
such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations
shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, and the
obligations of Bank hereunder have terminated the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account
shall be returned to Borrowers. Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Bank such further documents
and instruments as Bank may request to evidence the creation and perfection of the within security
interest in such cash collateral account.

     3.8 Letter of Credit Applications. In the event of any conflict between the terms of
this Article III and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms of such Letter of
Credit Application shall govern and control any such conflict.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          In order to induce Bank to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans and/or issue any
Letters of Credit, each Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that on the Closing Date and on
the date of each Borrowing or issuance of a Letter of Credit:

     5.1 Legal Status. Parent is a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws
of the State of Delaware. Zicam is a limited liability company duly organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Arizona. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary has the power and authority to
own its own Assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged, and is properly licensed,
qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction in which it is doing business
where failure to so qualify could have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.2 No Violation; Compliance. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Loan Documents to which each Borrower is a party are within such Borrower’s
powers, are not in conflict with the terms of the Governing Documents of such Borrower, and do not
result in a breach of or constitute a default under any contract, obligation, indenture or other
instrument to which such Borrower is a party or by which such Borrower is bound or affected, which
breach or default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no law,
rule or regulation (including Regulations T, U and X of the Federal Reserve Board), nor is there
any judgment, decree or order of any court or Governmental Authority binding on any Borrower which
would be contravened by the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement and
the Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party.

     5.3 Authorization; Enforceability. Each Borrower has taken all corporate or limited
liability company, as applicable, action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party, and the consummation

23

 

of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Upon their execution and delivery in
accordance with the terms hereof, this Agreement, and the Loan Documents to which each Borrower is
a party will constitute legal, valid and binding agreements and obligations of such Borrower
enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, and similar laws and equitable principles
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

     5.4 Approvals; Consents. No approval, consent, exemption or other action by, or
notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is necessary in connection with the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or the Loan Documents. All requisite
Governmental Authorities and third parties have approved or consented to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and Loan Documents, and all applicable waiting periods have expired
and there is no governmental or judicial action, actual or threatened, that has or could have a
reasonable likelihood of restraining, preventing or imposing burdensome conditions on the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Loan Documents.

     5.5 Liens. Each Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries has good and marketable title
to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its Assets, free and clear of all Liens or rights of
others, except for Permitted Liens.

     5.6 Debt. Each Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries has no Debt other than Permitted
Debt.

     5.7 Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.7, or otherwise disclosed to Bank
in writing from time to time, there are no suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to
the Knowledge of Borrowers, threatened, against or affecting any Borrower or any of Borrower’s
Assets, or any Subsidiary or any of such Subsidiary’s Assets, which are not fully covered by
applicable insurance and as to which no reservation of rights has been taken by the insurer
thereunder.

     5.8 No Default. No Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result from the incurring of obligations by any Borrower or any Subsidiary
under this Agreement or the Loan Documents.

     5.9 Subsidiaries. Set forth in Schedule 5.9, or otherwise disclosed to Bank in
writing from time to time, is a complete and accurate list of the Subsidiaries, showing the
jurisdiction of incorporation of each and showing the percentage of each Borrower’s ownership of
the Ownership Interests of each Subsidiary. All of the outstanding Ownership Interests of each
Subsidiary have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and are owned by Borrowers
free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens.

     5.10 Taxes. Each Borrower has filed or caused to be filed all returns and reports
which are required to be filed by any jurisdiction, and ha paid or made provision for the payment
of all taxes, assessments, fees or other governmental charges imposed upon its properties, income
or franchises, as to which failure to file or pay would reasonably be likely to have a Material

24

 

Adverse Effect, except such assessments or taxes, if any, which are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and reserves as required by GAAP have been established.

     5.11 Correctness of Financial Statements. Borrowers’ audited Financial Statement as
of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and internally-prepared Financial Statements for the
six months ended June 30, 2005, and all other information and data furnished by Borrowers to Bank
in connection therewith, are complete and correct in all material respects and accurately and
fairly present the financial condition and results of operations of Borrowers and the Subsidiaries
as of their respective dates. Any forecasts of future financial performance delivered by Borrowers
to Bank have been made in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions and investigations by
Borrowers. Said Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Since the date
of such Financial Statements, there has been no change in any Borrower’s or the Subsidiaries’
financial condition or results of operations sufficient to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Borrowers and the Subsidiaries have no contingent obligations, liabilities for taxes or other
outstanding financial obligations which are material in the aggregate, except as disclosed in such
statements, information and data.

     5.12 ERISA. Neither any Borrower nor any member of the ERISA Group maintains or
contributes to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, other than those listed on Schedule 5.12. Each
Borrower and each member of the ERISA Group have satisfied the minimum funding standards of ERISA
and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and Multiemployer Plan to which it is
obligated to contribute. No ERISA Event has occurred nor has any other event occurred that may
result in an ERISA Event that reasonably could be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
None of Borrowers, any member of the ERISA Group, or, to the Knowledge of the Borrowers any
fiduciary of any Plan is subject to any direct or indirect liability with respect to any Plan
(other than to make regularly scheduled required contributions and to pay Plan benefits in the
normal course) under any applicable law, treaty, rule, regulation, or agreement. Neither Borrowers
nor any member of the ERISA Group is required to provide security to any Plan under Section
401(a)(29) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Plan will be able to fulfill its benefit obligations
as they come due in accordance with the Plan documents and under GAAP.

     5.13 Other Obligations. Neither any Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default on any
(i) Debt or (ii) any other lease, commitment, contract, instrument or obligation which is material
to the operation of its business.

affiliate of a holding company or a subsidiary company of a holding company, within the meaning of
the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

controlled by an investment company, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as

     5.16 Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and Intellectual Property, etc. Each Borrower
and each Subsidiary has all necessary patents, patent rights, licenses, trademarks, trademark

25

 

rights, trade names, trade name rights, copyrights, permits, and franchises in order for it to
conduct its business and to operate its Assets, without known conflict with the rights of third
Persons, and all of same are valid and subsisting. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will not alter or impair any of such rights of any Borrower or any
Subsidiary. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary has not been charged or, to the best of Borrowers’
Knowledge after due inquiry, threatened to be charged with any infringement or, after due inquiry,
infringed on any, unexpired trademark, trademark registration, trade name, patent, copyright,
copyright registration, or other proprietary right of any Person.

     5.17 Environmental Condition. (i) None of any Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s Assets

owners or operators in the disposal of, or to produce, store, handle, treat, release, or transport,
any Hazardous Materials; (ii) none of any Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s Assets has ever been
designated or identified in any manner pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a

or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Loan
Documents with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud either present or future creditors of any
Borrower any Subsidiary.

by eminent domain, shall be paid over to Bank to be applied at the option of Bank either to the

any Tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or
withholding giving rise to such payment, Bank shall, to the extent that it can do so without
prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to
Borrower such amount as Bank shall have reasonably determined to be attributable to such deduction
or withholding. The amount paid by Bank to Borrowers pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence shall not exceed: (x) in the case of a refund of cash, the amount of cash refunded to Bank
with respect to such Tax; or (y) in the case of a refund taking the form of a credit against Tax,
the economic benefit to Bank with respect to the amount received as credit with respect to such
Tax. Borrowers further agree promptly to return to Bank the amount of any credit or refund
actually paid to Borrowers by Bank if Bank is required to repay it.

     9.3 Evidence of Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of payment of any
Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to Bank the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof. If no Taxes are payable in respect of any payment due hereunder or under the
Notes, Borrowers shall furnish to Bank a certificate from each appropriate taxing authority, or an
opinion of counsel acceptable to Bank, in either case stating that such payment is exempt from or
not subject to Taxes.

Borrowers’ consent.

          (c) Bank may, at its own expense, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of
its rights (including voting rights) and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment shall be released and
concurrently therewith, transferred to and assumed by Bank’s assignee to the extent provided for in
the document evidencing such assignment, and Bank shall give prompt notice of such assignment to
Borrowers. The provisions of this Section 10.5 relate only to absolute assignments (whether or not
arising as the result of foreclosure of a security interest) and that such provisions do not
prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or
assignment by Bank of any Loan or the Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
applicable law.

          (d) Bank may at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a
“Participant”) participating interests in the Loans, the Letters of Credit and in any other
interest of Bank hereunder. In the event of any such sale by Bank of a participating interest to a
Participant, Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, Bank shall remain
solely responsible for the performance thereof, and Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and
directly with Bank in connection with Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each

upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over Bank, (d)

as expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

41

 

     10.7 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall be effective

entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

     10.8 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. The invalidity,
in whole or in part, of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other of its provisions. If one or more provisions hereof shall be declared
invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall
be construed in the broadest possible manner to effectuate the purposes hereof.

     10.9 Knowledge. For purposes of this Agreement, an individual will be deemed to have
knowledge of a particular fact or other matter if: (a) such individual is actually aware of such
fact or other matter; or (b) a prudent individual would reasonably be expected to discover or
otherwise become aware of such fact or other matter. Each Borrower will be deemed to have
knowledge of a particular fact or other matter if the chief executive officer, chief operating
officer, chief financial officer, controller, treasurer, president, senior vice president or other
such officer of such Borrower has, or at any time had, knowledge of such fact or other matter.
Parent will be deemed to have knowledge of a partial fact or other matter if any other Borrower has
knowledge of such fact or other matter.

     10.10 Additional Waivers.

          (a) Each Borrower agrees that checks and other instruments received by Bank in payment or on
account of the Obligations constitute only conditional payment until such items are actually paid
to Bank and each Borrower waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any
time or times hereafter received by Bank on account of the Obligations, and each Borrower agrees
that Bank shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply such payments in any
manner as Bank may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Bank upon its books.

          (b) Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor,
notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, documents,

any collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from
any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency or other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or
destruction of any collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.

42

 

          (d) Each Borrower waives the right and the right to assert a confidential relationship, if
any, it may have with any accountant, accounting firm and/or service bureau or consultant in
connection with any information requested by Bank pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement,
and agrees that Bank may contact directly any such accountants, accounting firm and/or service
bureau or consultant in order to obtain such information.

     10.11 Destruction Of Borrowers’ Documents. Any documents, schedules, invoices or
other papers delivered to Bank may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Bank six (6) months
after they are delivered to or received by Bank, unless Administrative Borrower requests, in
writing, the return of the said documents, schedules, invoices or other papers and makes
arrangements, at Borrowers’ expense, for their return.

     10.12 CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

     10.13 No Novation. Borrowers and Bank hereby agree that, effective upon the
satisfaction or waiver in writing by Bank of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1, (a)
this Agreement shall amend, restate and supercede in its entirety the Prior Agreement and (b) those
other Loan Documents that amend and restate any of the original Loan Documents shall amend, restate
and supercede such other original Loan Documents. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a
substitution or novation of the obligations of Borrowers outstanding under the Prior Agreement or
instruments securing the same, which obligations shall remain in full force and effect, except to
the extent that the terms thereof are modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently
herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other
discharge of any Borrower or any guarantor from any of its obligations or liabilities under the
Prior Agreement or any of the other original Loan Documents except to the extent that the terms
thereof are modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Each Borrower each
hereby (i) confirms and agrees that each Loan Document to which it is a party is, and shall
continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects
except that on and after the Closing Date all references in any such Loan Document to “the Loan
Agreement”, “thereto”, “thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Prior

ARTICLE XI

JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; SINGLE LOAN ACCOUNT

     11.1 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and
severally, directly and primarily liable to Bank for payment, performance and satisfaction in full
of the Obligations and that such liability is independent of the duties, obligations, and
liabilities of the other Borrower. Bank may bring a separate action or actions on each, any, or
all of the Obligations against any Borrower, whether action is brought against the other Borrowers
or whether the other Borrowers are joined in such action. In the event that any Borrower fails to
make any payment of any obligation on or before the due date thereof, the other Borrowers
immediately shall cause such payment to be made or each of such obligations to be made or each of
such Obligations to be performed, kept, observed, or fulfilled.

     11.2 Primary Obligation; Waiver of Marshalling. This Agreement and the Loan Documents
to which Borrowers are a party are a primary and original obligation of each Borrower, are not the
creation of a surety relationship, and are an absolute, unconditional, and continuing promise of
payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect

44

 

without respect to future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity
or irregularity with respect to this Agreement or the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a
party. Each Borrower agrees that its liability under this Agreement and the Loan Documents which
Borrowers are a party shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or
enforcement by Bank of whatever remedies they may have against the other Borrowers, or the
enforcement of any lien or realization upon any security Bank may at any time possess. Each
Borrower consents and agrees that Bank shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets of any
Borrower against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

     11.3 Financial Condition of Borrowers. Each Borrower acknowledges that it is
presently informed as to the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all other
circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of
the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby covenants that it will continue to keep informed as to the
financial condition of the other Borrowers, the status of the other Borrowers and of all
circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment. Absent a written request from any Borrower
to Bank for information, each Borrower hereby waives any and all rights it may have to require Bank
to disclose to such Borrower any information which Bank may now or hereafter acquire concerning the
condition or circumstances of the other Borrowers.

     11.4 Continuing Liability. The liability of each Borrower under this Agreement and
the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party includes Obligations arising under successive
transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the
Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or
creating new or additional Obligations after prior Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in
part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives any right to revoke its
liability under this Agreement and Loan Documents as to future indebtedness.

     11.5 Additional Waivers. Each Borrower absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and
expressly waives:

          (a) (1) notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of any Loans or other financial accommodations
made or extended under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party or the
creation or existence of any Obligations; (3) notice of the amount of the Obligations, subject,
however, to each Borrower’s right to make inquiry of Bank to ascertain the amount of the
Obligations at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of
the other Borrowers or of any other fact that might increase such Borrower’s risk hereunder; (5)
notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among
the Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party; and (6) all other notices (except if such notice
is specifically required to be given to Borrowers hereunder or under the Loan Documents to which
Borrowers are a party) and demands to which such Borrower might otherwise be entitled.

          (b) its right, under Sections 12-1641 and 12-1646 of Arizona Revised Statutes (“A.R.S.”), or
otherwise, to require Bank to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which
Bank has or may have against, the other Borrowers or any third party, or against

45

 

any collateral for the Obligations provided by the other Borrowers, or any third party. Each
Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other
than the defense that the Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly
paid) of the other Borrowers or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the
liability of the other Borrowers in respect thereof.

          (c) (1) any rights to assert against Bank any defense (legal and equitable), set-off,
counterclaim, or claim which such Borrower may now or at any time hereafter have against the other
Borrowers or any other party liable to Bank; (2) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of
any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection,
sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor; (3) any
defense such Borrower has to performance hereunder, and any right such Borrower has to be
exonerated arising by reason of: the impairment or suspension of Bank’s rights or remedies against
the other Borrowers; the alteration by Bank of the Obligations; any discharge of the other
Borrowers’ obligations to Bank by operation of law as a result of Bank’s intervention or omission;
or the acceptance by Bank of anything in partial satisfaction of the Obligations; and (4) the
benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the
enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of
limitations applicable to the Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation
of such statute of limitations applicable to such Borrower’s liability hereunder.

          (d) To the extent allowed by law, each Borrower absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and
expressly waives any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (i) any claim or defense based
upon an election of remedies by Bank including any defense based upon an election of remedies by
Bank under the provisions of any law of Arizona or any other jurisdiction; or (ii) any election by
Bank under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to limit the amount of, or any collateral
securing, its claim against the Borrowers.

          (e) To the extent allowed by law, each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of
an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as a
nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such
Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Borrowers.

          (f) To the extent allowed by law, each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such
Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other
things: (1) Bank may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal
property collateral pledged by the other Borrowers; and (2) if Bank forecloses on any real property
collateral pledged by the other Borrowers: (A) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only
by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is
worth more than the sale price; and (B) Bank may collect from such Borrower even if Bank, by
foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Borrower may have to
collect from the other Borrowers. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights
and defenses each Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by real property.

46

 

          (g) To the extent allowed by law, each Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly,
and expressly waives: (i) any right of subrogation such Borrower has or may have as against the
other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations; (ii) any right to proceed against the other
Borrowers or any other Person, now or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, or any
other suretyship rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, whether
arising under express or implied contract or by operation of law, which such Borrower may now have
or hereafter have as against the other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations; and (iii) any
right to proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of the other
Borrowers.

          (h) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT, EACH BORROWER HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, KNOWINGLY, UNCONDITIONALLY, AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND
AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY AND ALL BENEFITS OR DEFENSES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY UNDER A.R.S.
§§ 12-1641 AND 12-1646.

     11.6 Settlement or Releases. Each Borrower consents and agrees that without notice to
or by such Borrower, and without affecting or impairing the liability of such Borrower hereunder,
Bank may, by action or inaction:

          (a) compromise, settle, extend the duration or the time for the payment of, or discharge the
performance of, or may refuse to or otherwise not enforce this Agreement and the Loan Documents, or
any part thereof, with respect to the other Borrowers or any Guarantor;

          (b) release the other Borrowers or any Guarantor or grant other indulgences to the other
Borrowers or any Guarantor in respect thereof;

          (c) amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) this Agreement or any
of the Loan Documents; or

          (d) release or substitute any Guarantor, if any, of the Obligations, or enforce, exchange,
release, or waive any security for the Obligations or any other guaranty of the Obligations, or any
portion thereof.

     11.7 No Election. Bank shall have the right to seek recourse against each Borrower to
the fullest extent provided for herein, and no election by Bank to proceed in one form of action or
proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Bank’s right
to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless Bank has
expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no action or proceeding by Bank under this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall serve
to diminish the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to which
Borrowers are a party except to the extent that Bank finally and unconditionally shall have
realized indefeasible payment by such action or proceeding.

     11.8 Indefeasible Payment. The Obligations shall not be considered indefeasibly paid
unless and until all payments to Bank are no longer subject to any right on the part of any Person,

47

 

including any Borrower, any Borrower as a debtor in possession, or any trustee (whether appointed
pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) of any Borrower’s Assets to invalidate or set aside
such payments or to seek to recoup the amount of such payments or any portion thereof, or to
declare same to be fraudulent or preferential. Upon such full and final performance and
indefeasible payment of the Obligations, Bank shall have no obligation whatsoever to transfer or
assign its interest in this Agreement and the Loan Documents to any Borrower. In the event that,
for any reason, any portion of such payments to Bank is set aside or restored, whether voluntarily
or involuntarily, after the making thereof, then the obligation intended to be satisfied thereby
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been
made, and any Borrower shall be liable for the full amount Bank is required to repay plus any and
all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and attorneys’ fees incurred in proceedings
brought under the Bankruptcy Code) paid by Bank in connection therewith.

     11.9 Single Loan Account. At the request of Borrowers to facilitate and expedite the
administration and accounting processes and procedures of the Loans and Borrowings, Bank have
agreed, in lieu of maintaining separate loan accounts on Bank’s books in the name of each of the
Borrowers, that Bank may maintain a single loan account under the name of all Borrowers (the “Loan
Account”). All Loans shall be made jointly and severally to Borrowers and shall be charged to the
Loan Account, together with all interest and other charges as permitted under and pursuant to this
Agreement. The Loan Account shall be credited with all repayments of Obligations received by Bank,
on behalf of Borrowers, from either Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

     11.10 Apportionment of Proceeds of Loans. Each Borrower expressly agrees and
acknowledges that Bank shall have no responsibility to inquire into the correctness of the
apportionment or allocation of or any disposition by any of Borrowers of (a) the Loans or any
Borrowings, or (b) any of the expenses and other items charged to the Loan Account pursuant to this
Agreement. The Loans and all such Borrowings and such expenses and other item shall be made for
the collective, joint, and several account of Borrowers and shall be charged to the Loan Account.

     11.11 Parent as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Parent
as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which
appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Bank shall have received prior
written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another
Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide Bank with all notices with respect to Loans
and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and
instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems
appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood
that the handling of the Loans and collateral of Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set
forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective
borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and
that Bank shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to
derive benefit, directly or

48

 

indirectly, from the handling of the Loans and the collateral in a
combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued
successful performance of the integrated group. To induce Bank to do so, and in consideration
thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify Bank and hold Bank harmless
against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against Bank by any
Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of
the Loans and collateral of Borrowers as provided in this Section 11.11, (b) Bank’s relying on any
instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by Bank hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents, except that Borrowers will have no liability to Bank under this
Section 11.11 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Bank.

Exhibit 10.2

AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

			
	$4,000,000.00
	 	Phoenix, Arizona

September 27, 2005

     1. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MATRIXX INITIATIVES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Matrixx”), and
ZICAM, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Zicam”, together with Matrixx, the “Makers”),
jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of COMERICA BANK, a Michigan banking corporation
(“Payee”), on or before the Revolving Loans Maturity Date, the principal sum of FOUR MILLION AND
NO/100 DOLLARS ($4,000,000.00), or such lesser sum as shall equal the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Loans made by Payee to Makers pursuant to the Agreement (as
defined below).

     2. Makers have previously entered that certain Revolving Promissory Note, dated as of May 29,
2002 (the “Prior Note”), and Makers and Payee have previously entered into that certain Credit
Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2002 (as amended to date, the “Prior Agreement”). Makers and Payee
desire to amend and restate the Prior Note in its entirety in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”).

     3. Makers promise to make principal reduction payments on the outstanding principal balance
hereof in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Agreement. Makers further promise to pay
interest from the date of this Note, in like money, on the aggregate outstanding principal amount
hereof at the rates and on the dates provided in the Agreement. All computations of interest shall
be in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.

     4. Makers hereby authorize Payee to record in its books and records the date and amount of
each Loan, and of each payment of principal made by Makers, and Makers agree that all such
notations shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the matters so noted;
provided, however, any failure by Payee to make such notation with respect to any Loan or payment
thereof shall not limit or otherwise affect Makers’ obligations under the Agreement or this Note.

     5. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to and
not in substitution of any of Payee’s other rights and remedies with respect to such Event of
Default, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest at the Base Lending
Rate plus three hundred (300) basis points. In addition, interest, Expenses, the Fees, and other
amounts due hereunder not paid when due shall bear interest at the Base Lending Rate plus three
hundred (300) basis points until such overdue payment is paid in full.

     6. If any payment due hereunder, whether for principal, interest, or otherwise, is not paid on
or before the tenth (10th) day after the date such payment is due, in addition to and
not in substitution of any of Payee’s other rights and remedies with respect to such nonpayment,
Makers shall pay to Payee, a late payment fee (“Late Payment Fee”) equal to five percent (5%)
of the amount of such overdue payment. The Late Payment Fee shall be due and payable on the
eleventh (11th) day after the due date of the overdue payment with respect thereto.

     7. Makers shall make all payments hereunder in lawful money of the United States of America
and in immediately available funds to Payee at Payee’s office located at Phelps Dodge Tower, 1
North Central Avenue, Suite 1000, Phoenix, Arizona 85004-4469, Attention: William J. Kirschner; or
to such other address as Payee may from time to time specify by notice to Makers in accordance with
the terms of the Agreement.

     8. In no event shall the interest rate and other charges hereunder exceed the highest rate
permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination,
deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that Payee has received interest
and other charges hereunder in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, such excess shall be
deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the principal balance
hereof, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest permissible
rate. If there is no principal balance outstanding, Payee shall refund to Makers such excess.

     9. This Note is the “Note” issued pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2005 (as may be at any time hereafter amended, supplemented,
or otherwise modified or restated, the “Agreement”), by and among Makers, as Borrowers, and Payee,
and is governed by the terms thereof. Initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement. The Agreement, among other
things, contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of
certain stated events and also for prepayments on account of principal of this Note prior to the
maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions specified in the Agreement. This Note and the Loans
evidenced hereby may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part by Payee pursuant to
the terms of the Agreement.

     10. This Note is secured by the Liens granted to Payee under the Loan Documents.

     11. Makers hereby waive presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of
protest.

     12. (a) THE VALIDITY OF THIS NOTE, THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF,
AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATED
HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS
OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA, WITHOUT REGARD FOR PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

          (b) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE
SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF
MARICOPA, STATE OF ARIZONA; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY
COLLATERAL OR
OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT PAYEE’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH
COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. MAKERS AND PAYEE WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE

2

 

DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT
TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 12.

          (c) MAKERS AND PAYEE HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR
STATUTORY CLAIMS. MAKERS AND PAYEE REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY
AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE
COURT.

     13. No Novation. Makers and Bank hereby agree that, effective upon the satisfaction or waiver
in writing by Bank of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1 of the Agreement, this Note
shall amend, restate and supersede in its entirety the Prior Note. Nothing herein contained shall
be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations of Makers outstanding under the Prior
Note, which obligations shall remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that the terms
thereof are modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or
implied in this Note shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Maker or any
guarantor from any of its obligations or liabilities under the Prior Note or any of the other
original Loan Documents except to the extent that the terms thereof are modified hereby or by
instruments executed concurrently herewith.
