Exhibit 10.1

EXECUTION VERSION

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

          SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT made as of this 3rd day of June 2009 (the “Agreement” by and
among the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the
“Committee”) of the chapter 11
bankruptcy estates (the “Estates”) of Midway Games,
Inc. (“Midway”), Midway Home
Entertainment Inc., Midway Amusement Games, LLC, Midway Interactive Inc., Surreal Software Inc.,
Midway Studios — Austin Inc., Midway Studios — Los Angeles Inc., Midway Games West Inc., Midway
Home Studios Inc., and Midway Sales Company, LLC (each a “Debtor” and collectively, the
“Debtors” or the “Company”), and
Mark E. Thomas (“Thomas”), Acquisition Holdings
Subsidiary I, LLC (“AHS”) and MT Acquisition Holdings LLC (“MTAH” and, collectively with
Thomas and AHS, the “Thomas Parties”; and collectively with the Committee, on behalf of
the Estates and the Estate’s unsecured creditors, the “Parties”).

          The Parties have engaged in extensive, good faith, arms-length negotiation, based upon which
the Parties now desire to settle and resolve certain disputes between them in connection with the
Thomas Parties’ claims against and interests in the Debtors and the Estate’s claims against the
Thomas Parties (i) regarding the nature of the Thomas Parties’ claims and interests in the Debtors
and (ii) arising from certain events and circumstances preceding the filing of the Debtors’
chapter 11 cases (the “Cases”) and occurring or arising during the Cases.

          The terms and conditions described herein are part of a comprehensive compromise, each
element of which is consideration for the other elements and an integral aspect of the
restructuring proposed herein.

RECITALS

          A. On February 12, 2009 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed a voluntary
petition for relief under chapter 11, title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy
Court”). The Cases are being jointly administered under bankruptcy case 09-10465 (KG).

          B. On February 23, 2009, the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “U.S.
Trustee”) appointed the Committee.

          C. Prior to the Petition Date, Midway was a publicly traded company, with its common stock
trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MWY. Until November 28, 2008,
approximately 87% of Midway’s common shares were owned and controlled by Sumner M. Redstone
(“Redstone”), individually, and through two affiliated companies that he owned and
controlled, National Amusements Inc. (“NAI”) and Sumco Inc. (“Sumco” and,
collectively with Mr. Redstone and NAI, the “Redstone Parties”).

          D. On February 29, 2008, the Debtors entered into certain transactions with NAI (the
“February 2008 Transactions”) pursuant to which NAI made loans to the Debtors in the
aggregate amount of $90 million, consisting of: (i) a $30 million loan facility (consisting of a
term loan and a revolving credit facility) secured by substantially all of Midway’s assets (the
“Secured Facility”), (b) a $40 million unsecured loan facility (the “Unsecured
Facility”), and (c) a $20 million unsecured subordinated loan facility (the “Subordinated
Facility” and, collectively

 

 

EXECUTION VERSION

with the Secured Facility and the Unsecured Facility, the “Facilities”). The Committee
has alleged, inter alia, that the Midway Board of Directors violated its fiduciary duties in
connection with the creation of the Facilities and that the Facilities should be recharacterized
as equity.

          E. On November 28, 2008, the Redstone Parties sold to AHS for an aggregate purchase price of
$100,000 (i) all of their approximate 87% equity stake in Midway (the “Majority Shares”),
(ii) a 100% participation interest in the Secured Facility, and (iii) a 100% participation interest
in the Unsecured Facility (the transactions described in (i), (ii) and (iii) above, collectively,
the “Redstone-Thomas Transaction”). Subsequently, NAI formally assigned all of its rights
and interests in the Secured Facility and Unsecured Facility to AHS.

          F. Upon commencing the Cases, the Debtors immediately moved the Bankruptcy Court for authority
to use the cash collateral of AHS subject to certain terms and conditions negotiated by AHS with
the Debtors (the “Cash Collateral Motion”). Certain noteholders holding notes issued by
certain of the Debtors (the “Objecting Noteholders”) filed a preliminary objection to the
Cash Collateral Motion and opposed the Cash Collateral Motion at the February 13, 2009 interim
hearing.

          G. On February 17, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the “Interim Cash
Collateral Order”) authorizing some of the relief requested in the Cash Collateral Motion,
subject to modifications addressed on the record of the February 13, 2009 hearing. The Interim Cash
Collateral Order provided, inter alia, (i) that all interest accruing under the Secured Facility be
paid by the Debtors into a segregated account maintained in the name of the Debtors subject to
AHS’s liens (the “Segregated Interest Account”) until further order of the Bankruptcy Court
and (ii) permitted AHS to receive as adequate protection the out of pocket expenses of AHS for
reasonable professional fees (including his or its legal and financial advisors) incurred on behalf
of AHS both prior to the Petition Date and during the period covered by the Interim Cash Collateral
Order (“AHS’s Professional Fees”). Subsequent to the entry of the Interim Cash Collateral
Order, the Debtors paid AHS’s Professional Fees in the aggregate sum of $287,332.63 (the
“Professional Fee Payments”).

          H. Following its formation, the Committee joined in the Objecting Noteholders’ objection to
the Cash Collateral Motion. The Objecting Noteholders and, subsequently, the Committee contended,
among other things, that the terms and conditions that AHS had demanded in return for permitting
the Debtors’ use of cash collateral were overreaching, that AHS was and is substantially
over-secured in its collateral and, hence, did not require the various protections that were
proposed in favor of AHS in the Cash Collateral Motion, and that the unique nature of the events
and insider transactions that had occurred prepetition created material claims against various
insiders, the Thomas Parties, and others that required investigation by the Committee.

          I. In response to the objections to the Cash Collateral Motion, AHS filed its own objection
to the Cash Collateral Motion and a cross-motion for relief from the automatic stay to enforce its
rights and remedies under the Secured Facility and Unsecured Facility if the Cash Collateral
Motion was not approved in a manner acceptable to AHS, contending that AHS’s collateral is
declining in value and the Debtors cannot provide AHS with adequate protection.

EXECUTION
VERSION

          J. Following evidentiary hearings that took place on April 1 and April 6, 2009, the
Bankruptcy Court sustained the Committee’s objection to the Cash Collateral Motion and, on April
9, 2009, entered (i) an order authorizing the Debtors’ use of cash collateral on terms and
conditions as set forth therein (the “Final Cash Collateral Order”) and (ii) an order
denying AHS’s cross-motion for relief from the automatic stay (the “Order Denying the
Cross-Motion”; collectively with the Final Cash Collateral Order, the “Orders”). As
part of the Cash Collateral Order, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Committee the right to
“investigate, assert and/or prosecute on behalf of Debtors’ estates any and all claims of the
estates against any party that arise out of, or relate to (a) any transaction by and between NAI
or any of its affiliates or shareholders on the one hand, and any of the Debtors on the other
hand, (b) transactions that led to AHS, and/or any of AHS’ affiliates, insiders or shareholders,
becoming the majority owner of the Debtors and the owner of claims against the Debtors previously
held by NAI and (c) any action or omission of any insider or affiliate of the Debtors including,
without limitation, NAI, AHS, or any of their respective affiliates, insiders or shareholders, in
connection with any of the Debtors” in the Cases.

          K. The Cash Collateral Order continued to permit interest payments to be segregated into the
Segregated Interest Account subject to AHS’s liens, but prohibited payments of AHS’s Professional
Fees, subject to further Court order.

          L. On April 20, 2009, AHS appealed each of the Orders and filed with the Bankruptcy Court a
motion for leave to appeal each of the Orders under 28 U.S.C. § 158(a) (collectively, each of
AHS’s appeals and its motion for leave to appeal, the “Appeals”).

          M. On May 11, 2009, the Committee filed a complaint against a number of parties, including
the Thomas Parties, alleging claims arising out of and in connection with the February 2008
Transactions and the Redstone-Thomas Transaction (the “Pending Actions”).

          N. The Parties have engaged in good faith negotiations regarding resolving (i) the Estates’
claims against the Thomas Parties (including without limitation the claims asserted in the Pending
Actions), (ii) the Thomas Parties’ claims against the Estates and interests in the Debtors and
(iii) the Appeals.

AGREEMENT

          NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, and in exchange for valuable
consideration the receipt of which is acknowledged, agree and stipulate as follows:

1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS

          The Recitals set forth above are incorporated by reference.

2. EFFECTIVENESS OF AGREEMENT

          This Agreement shall be submitted for approval by the Bankruptcy Court in a motion filed by
the Committee (the “Settlement Motion”) to approve the compromises contained herein
pursuant to Rule 9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and shall become effective and
binding on the date (the “Settlement Effective Date”) on which the order approving

SETTLEMENT PAYMENT

          3.1. Consideration to Thomas Parties. In full and complete satisfaction of all
claims, liens, security interests, rights and interests of any of the Thomas Parties in the
Debtors or any property of the Debtors (collectively, the “Thomas Claims”), the Thomas
Parties shall receive the following:

     a.
Allowed Settlement Claim. Effective as of the Settlement
Effective Date, AHS shall have an allowed claim against the Estates in the aggregate
amount of $5,000,000 (the “Settlement Claim”). The Settlement Claim shall be
secured by a valid, binding, perfected, first in priority lien and security interest
in those assets that constitute collateral under the Secured Facility and proceeds
thereof (the “Collateral”), provided, that the security interest securing
the Settlement Claim shall not be subject to surcharge under section 506(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code or the equities of the case exception to section 552(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code, and further provided that the Debtors may not grant, to any person
or entity, liens on or security interests in the Collateral that are senior to the
security interest securing the Settlement Claim. The Settlement Claim and the
security interest securing the Settlement Claim shall be effective as of the date of
the Settlement Effective Date without any further action by the Thomas Parties or
the Debtors and without the necessity of the execution, filing or recordation of any
financing statements, security agreements, lien applications or other documents.
The security interest securing the Settlement Claim shall terminate automatically
upon receipt of the Settlement Payment (as defined in Section 3.1(b)).

     b.
Amount and Timing of Settlement Payment. Upon the earlier of (i) the
date upon which the sale of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets closes
(“Sale Date”) and (ii) the effective date of a confirmed plan of
reorganization or liquidation (“Plan”) in the Cases (“Plan Effective Date”
and either of the Sale Date and Plan Effective Date, as applicable, a
“Settlement Payment Date”), the Estates shall pay to AHS in cash, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained with a depository
located in the United States and specified by AHS, the amount of the Settlement
Claim, less the Professional Fee Payments (the “Settlement Payment”),
provided that in the event that a sale of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets
under (i) of this Section 3.1(b), AHS may request that the Settlement Payment be
paid to AHS at closing directly from the sale proceeds.

     c. Releases. Effective as of the Settlement Effective Date, the
releases contained in Section 5 hereof shall become effective and binding in all
respects.

DISPOSITION OF THOMAS CLAIMS AND MAJORITY SHARES

          4.1. Upon Closing of Sale(s). Each of the Thomas Parties hereby consents to any sale
of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, or to any sales of assets that, collectively, will
result in the sale of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, so long as such sale or sales
result in the Thomas Parties’ timely receipt of the Settlement Payment, as provided herein. Each of
the Thomas Parties further agrees that any such sale(s) of assets will be free and clear (within
the meaning of section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code) of all liens, claims, interests and other
encumbrances that secure the Settlement Claim, provided such liens, claims, interests and other
encumbrances attach to the proceeds of any such sales with the validity, priority, force and effect
as set forth in Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement.

          4.2. No Further Claims. Upon the receipt of the Settlement Payment but subject to
Sections 5.5 and 5.6(b) hereof, (a) none of the Thomas Parties will have any claim arising out of
or in any way related to the Redstone-Thomas Transaction, against anyone, including, without
limitation, the Committee, the Debtors or the Estates, or against any property of any of the
Estates and (b) none of the Thomas Parties will assert or will be entitled to assert any further
right of payment from the Committee, the Debtors or the Estates with respect to any such claim. For
the avoidance of doubt, none of the Thomas Parties is, by virtue of Section 4.2, waiving any claim
which may later be asserted as a Permitted Counterclaim (as hereinafter defined).

          4.3.
No Interest or Fees. No interest will accrue on the Settlement Claim. Furthermore,
the Thomas Parties shall not be entitled to recover from the Estates or from any property of any of
the Estates any interest, fees or expenses in connection with either the Thomas Claims or the
Settlement Claim.

          4.4. Majority Shares. Effective upon the Settlement Effective Date, the Thomas
Parties hereby grant to the Committee, on behalf of the Estates and their general unsecured
creditors, an irrevocable proxy to vote the Majority Shares (the “Proxy”) and do hereby forever and
irrevocably relinquish the right to vote the Majority Shares in favor of the Committee pursuant to
the Proxy or pursuant to the dictates of a Plan supported by the Committee and confirmed by the
Bankruptcy Court. The ultimate disposition of the Majority Shares will be determined by the
Committee, on behalf of the Estates and their general unsecured creditors, in the context of a Plan
supported by the Committee and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, or, if the Cases are converted to
chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, by the chapter 7 trustee of the Midway’s bankruptcy estate.

SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES

2.1. Commitment.

2.1.1. Loans. Lender agrees, on the terms set forth herein, to make Loans to Borrower in an aggregate
amount up to the Commitment, from time to time through the Commitment Termination Date. The Loans
may be repaid and reborrowed as provided herein. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to
honor a request for a Loan if the unpaid balance of Loans outstanding at such time (including the
requested Loan) would exceed the Borrowing Base.

2.1.2. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Loans shall be used by Borrower solely (a) to satisfy existing Debt; (b) to
pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of this credit facility; (c) to pay
Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (d) for working capital and other lawful
corporate purposes of the Loan Parties.

2.1.3. Voluntary Reduction or Termination of Commitment.

(a) The Commitment shall terminate on the Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in
accordance with this Agreement. Upon at least 45 days prior written notice to Lender at any time
after the first Loan Year, Borrower may, at its option, terminate the Commitment and this credit
facility. Any notice of termination given by Borrower shall be irrevocable, provided that a notice
of termination of the Commitment delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned
upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the proceeds of which will be used to pay in
full the amounts due under the Loan Documents, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower
(by notice to Lender on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied. On the Termination Date, Borrower shall make Full Payment of all Obligations.

 

-21-

 

(b) Borrower may permanently reduce the Commitment upon at least 45 days prior written notice
to Lender, which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction and shall be irrevocable once
given. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, or an increment of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof.

(c) Concurrently with any reduction in or termination of the Commitment, for whatever reason
(including an Event of Default) during the first Loan Year, Borrower shall pay to Lender, as
liquidated damages for loss of bargain (and not as a penalty), an amount equal to 1.0% of the
Commitment being reduced or terminated.

2.1.4. Overadvances. If the aggregate Loans exceed the Borrowing Base (“Overadvance”) or the Commitment
at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrower on demand by Lender, but all such Loans
shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of
the Loan Documents. Any funding or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver of
the Event of Default caused thereby.

2.2. [Reserved].

2.3. Letter of Credit Facility.

2.3.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit. Lender agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time until 30 days prior to the
Termination Date (or until the Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth
herein, including the following:

(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is
conditioned upon its receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as
well as such other instruments and agreements as Lender may customarily require for issuance of a
letter of credit of similar type and amount. Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter
of Credit unless (i) it receives a LC Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior
to the requested date of
issuance; and (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied.

(b) Letters of Credit may be requested by Borrower only (i) to support obligations of Borrower
or any other Loan Party incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business; or (ii) for other purposes as
Lender may approve from time to time in writing. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new LC
Application shall be required at the discretion of Lender.

(c) Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by
the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, Lender shall not be
responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery
of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the
character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that
expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect
of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment
of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a
Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any
shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract
between a shipper or vendor and a Loan Party; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail,
telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from
causes beyond the control of Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority.
Lender shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims
against Loan Parties are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

 

-22-

 

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any
Letters of Credit or LC Documents, Lender shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in
acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by Lender,
in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person.
Lender may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it
concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be
fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts.
Lender may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of
Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and
attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.3.2. Reimbursement. If Lender honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to
Lender, on the same day (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid under such Letter of
Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Loans from the Reimbursement Date
until payment by Borrower. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for any payment made
under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be paid
without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence
of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower or any other Loan Party may have at any
time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrower
shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay all
amounts due on any Reimbursement Date.

2.3.3. Cash Collateral. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be
outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that Availability is less than
zero, (c) after the Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within 20 Business Days prior to the
Termination Date, then
Borrower shall, at Lender’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit and pay to Lender the amount of all other LC Obligations. If Borrower fails to
provide Cash Collateral as required herein, Lender may advance, as Loans, the amount of the Cash
Collateral required.

SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1. Interest.

3.1.1. Rates and Payment of Interest.

(a) The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect
from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for the applicable
Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation (including, to the
extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time,
plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. Interest shall accrue from the date the Loan is
advanced or the Obligation is incurred or payable, until paid by Borrower. If a Loan is repaid on
the same day made, one day’s interest shall accrue.

(b) During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party, or during any other Event
of Default if Lender in its discretion so elects, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default
Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to
Lender due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is a fair
and reasonable estimate to compensate Lender for this.

 

-23-

 

(c) Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the first day of
each month; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being
prepaid; (iii) with respect to LIBOR Loans, on the last day of any Interest Period; and (iv) on the
Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as
provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on
demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and
payable on demand.

3.1.2. Application of LIBOR to Outstanding Loans.

(a) Borrower may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of the Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any
LIBOR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a LIBOR Loan. During any Default or Event of
Default, Lender may declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan.

(b) Whenever Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall give
Lender a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days
before the requested conversion or continuation date. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall
be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion
or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period
(which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest
Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, it shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loans into Base Rate
Loans.

3.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loans, Borrower
shall select an interest period (“Interest Period”) to apply, which interest period shall
be 30, 60, or 90 days; provided, however, that:

(a) the Interest Period shall commence on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or
converted into, a LIBOR Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar
month at its end;

(b) if any Interest Period commences on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the
calendar month at its end or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such
month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month; and if any
Interest Period would expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the
next Business Day; and

(c) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Termination Date.

3.1.4. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Lender shall determine that on any date for determining LIBOR, due to any circumstance
affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining such
rate on the basis provided herein, then Lender shall immediately notify Borrower of such
determination. Until Lender notifies Borrower that such circumstance no longer exists, the
obligation of Lender to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and no further Loans may be converted
into or continued as LIBOR Loans.

3.2. Fees.

3.2.1. Unused Line Fee.
Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the amount by which
the Commitment exceeds the average daily balance of Loans and stated amount of Letters of Credit
during any month. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the
Commitment Termination Date.

3.2.2. LC Facility Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) a fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Loans
times the average daily stated amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in
arrears, on the first day of each month; (b) a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the stated
amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of
each month; and (c) all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating,
payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid
as and when incurred. During an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (a) shall be
increased by 2% per annum.

3.2.3. Other Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender fees in amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.
Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

3.3. Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be
computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days. Each determination by Lender of
any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject
to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services
and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance
or detention of money. A reasonably detailed certificate as to amounts payable by Borrower under
Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.8 identifying the basis for the claim and the manner in which such
amounts have been calculated, submitted to Borrower by Lender shall be final, conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower shall pay such amounts to the
appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate.

3.4. Reimbursement Obligations. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all Extraordinary Expenses. Borrower shall also
reimburse Lender for all legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and
expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents,
including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating
to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions
taken to perfect or maintain priority of Lender’s Liens on any Collateral (including any fees
assessed by Lender in connection with handling negotiable documents relating to in-transit
Inventory), to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject
to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor
or Collateral, whether prepared by Lender’s personnel or a third party. All legal, accounting and
consulting fees shall be charged to Borrower by Lender’s professionals at their full hourly rates,
regardless of any reduced or alternative fee billing arrangements that Lender or any of its
Affiliates may have with such professionals with respect to this transaction upon the occurrence of
certain events or any other unrelated transaction. If, for any reason (including inaccurate
reporting on financial statements or a Compliance Certificate), it is determined that a higher
Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin
shall be applied retroactively and Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender an amount equal to the
difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin
and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrower under this Section shall be due on
demand.

 

-25-

 

3.5. Illegality. If Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental
Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to
determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of,
Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by Lender to Borrower, any
obligation of Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans
shall be suspended until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrower shall prepay or, if
applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, if Lender may lawfully continue to maintain LIBOR Loans to such day, or
immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment
or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.6. Inability to Determine Rates. If Lender notifies Borrower for any reason in connection with a request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to
banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of
such Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for the requested
Interest Period, or (c) LIBOR for the requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to Lender of funding such Loan, then the obligation of Lender to make or maintain
LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until it revokes the notice. Upon receipt of the notice, Borrower
may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Loan
or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted a request for a Base Rate Loan.

3.7. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

3.7.1. Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance
charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended or participated in by, Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR);

(b) subject Lender to any Tax with respect to any Loan, Loan Document or Letter of Credit, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes covered by Section 5.8 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax payable by Lender); or

(c) impose on Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense
affecting any Loan, Loan Document or Letter of Credit;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR
Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to Lender of
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue any Letter
of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request by Lender, Borrower will pay to
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.

3.7.2. Capital Adequacy. If Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting Lender or its holding company
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, Commitments, Loans
or Letters of Credit to a level below that which Lender or such holding company could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s and such holding company’s policies
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

3.7.3. Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrower shall not be
required to compensate Lender for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than
nine months prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof).

 

-26-

 

3.8. Mitigation. If Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or
if any Loan Party is required to pay additional amounts under Section 5.8, then Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of Lender, such
designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or
to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it. Borrower shall pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.

3.9. Funding Losses. If for any reason (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan does
not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan
occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, or (c) Borrower fails to repay a LIBOR
Loan when required hereunder, then Borrower shall pay to Lender all losses and expenses that it
sustains as a consequence thereof, including loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense
arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable to terminate deposits of
matching funds. Lender shall not be required to purchase Dollar deposits in the London interbank
market or any other offshore Dollar market to fund any LIBOR Loan, but the provisions hereof shall
be deemed to apply as if Lender had purchased such deposits to fund its LIBOR Loans.

3.10. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid
or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If Lender shall receive interest in
an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of
the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining
whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender exceeds the maximum rate, Lender
may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal
as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total
amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1. Manner of Borrowing and Funding Loans.

4.1.1. Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Whenever Borrower desires funding of a Borrowing of Loans, Borrower shall give Lender a
Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the
Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) at least three
Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received
after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall
be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date
(which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as Base Rate Loans or LIBOR
Loans, and (D) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which
shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified).

 

-27-

 

(b) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrower, the becoming due of any Obligations
(whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC
Obligations, Cash Collateral and Bank Product Debt) shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate
Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Loans shall be
disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation. In addition, Lender may, at its option,
charge such Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of Borrower maintained
with Lender or any of its Affiliates.

(c) If Borrower establishes a controlled disbursement account with Lender or any of its
Affiliates, then the presentation for payment of any check or other item of payment drawn on such
account at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for
Base Rate Loans on the date of such presentation, in the amount of the check and items presented
for payment. The proceeds of such Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement
account or other appropriate account.

4.1.2. Fundings. Lender shall fund each Borrowing on the applicable funding date and, subject to the terms
of this Agreement, shall disburse the proceeds as directed by Borrower.

4.1.3. Notices. Borrower authorizes Lender to extend, convert or continue Loans, effect selections of interest
rates, and transfer funds to or on behalf of Borrower based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions.
Borrower shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Lender of a Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs in any material respect from
the action taken by Lender, the records of Lender shall govern. Lender shall not have any
liability for any loss suffered by Borrower as a result of Lender acting upon its understanding of
telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith to be a person authorized
to give such instructions on Borrower’s behalf.

4.2. Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $3,000,000, plus any
increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. No more than 5 Borrowings of LIBOR Loans may be
outstanding at any time, and all LIBOR Loans having the same length and beginning date of their
Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose.
Upon determining LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrower, Lender shall promptly
notify Borrower thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Borrower, shall confirm
any telephonic notice in writing.

4.3. Effect of Termination. On the effective date of any termination of the Commitment, all Obligations shall be
immediately due and payable, and each Secured Party may terminate its Bank Products. All
undertakings of Borrower and the other Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents shall survive
any termination, and Lender shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents until Full Payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding Full
Payment of the Obligations,
Lender shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any Collateral unless, with respect to
any damages Lender may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to
Obligations, Lender receives (a) a written agreement, executed by Borrower and any Person whose
advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Lender from any such
damages; or (b) such Cash Collateral as Lender, in its discretion, deems necessary to protect
against any such damages. The provisions of Sections 2.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.8, 12.2 and
this Section, and the obligation of each Obligor with respect to each indemnity given by it in any
Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and any release relating to this
credit facility.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS

5.1. General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or
defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available
funds, not later than 12:00 noon on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made
on the next Business Day. Any payment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period
shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9. Any prepayment of Loans shall be
applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans.

5.2. Repayment of Loans. Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date, unless payment is sooner
required hereunder. Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium. If any
Asset Disposition includes the disposition of Accounts or Inventory, then Net Proceeds equal to the
greater of (a) the net book value of such Accounts and Inventory, or (b) the reduction in the
Borrowing Base upon giving effect to such disposition, shall be applied to the Loans.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, Borrower shall, on the
sooner of Lender’s demand or the first Business Day after Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay the
outstanding Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of Loans to the Borrowing
Base.

5.3. [Reserved].

5.4. Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be
paid by Borrower as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.

5.5. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against
any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Lender, or Lender exercises
a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation
originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff
had not occurred.

5.6. Application of Payments. Prior to the Dominion Date, the ledger balance in the Frost Account as of the beginning of
each Business Day shall be transferred to an account maintained at Lender and shall be applied to
the Obligations as at the beginning of such Business Day. From and after the Dominion Date, the
ledger balance in the main Dominion Account as of the end of each Business Day shall be applied to
the Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day. If, as a result of such application to
the then outstanding Base Rate Loans, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue
interest in favor of Borrower and shall be made available to Borrower for application to the then
outstanding LIBOR Loans (and if more than one Interest Period is then applicable to the LIBOR
Revolver Loans, to the LIBOR Revolver Loans beginning with the least number of days remaining in
the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending with the LIBOR Revolver Loans with the most
number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject, in each case, to the
payment of any funding indemnification amounts required under Section 3.9, but without penalty or
premium) or as otherwise requested by Borrower as long as no Default or Event of Default exists.
Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral
proceeds during the existence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default, and agrees that
Lender shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the
Obligations, in such manner as Lender deems advisable.

 

-29-

 

5.7. Loan Account; Account Stated.

5.7.1. Loan Account. Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or
accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of Borrower resulting from each Loan or
issuance of a Letter of Credit from time to time. Any failure of Lender to record anything in the
Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of
Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder.

5.7.2. Entries Binding. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information
contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by
any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes
absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Lender in writing within 30 days
after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.8. Taxes.

5.8.1. Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by Obligors of Obligations shall be free and clear of and without reduction
for any Taxes. If Applicable Law requires any Obligor or Lender to withhold or deduct any Tax
(including backup withholding or withholding Tax), Lender shall pay the amount withheld or deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased so that Lender
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no such withholding or deduction
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had been made.
Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authorities.

5.8.2. Payment. Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand
therefor) Lender for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including those attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by any Obligor or Lender, or paid by Lender, with
respect to any Obligations, Letters of Credit or Loan Documents, whether or not such Taxes were
properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and including all penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses relating thereto. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or
liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Failure or
delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrower shall not be required to compensate
Lender for any such Taxes more than nine months prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of
the withholding, deduction or payment of such Taxes and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor (except that, if such withholding, deduction or payment is retroactive, then the
nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof). As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to
Lender a receipt from the Governmental Authority or other evidence of payment satisfactory to
Lender.

5.9. Subsidiary Guaranty.

5.9.1. Nature of Guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the
prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations when due or declared to be due and at all times
thereafter and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its
guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not
solely of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the
Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the
genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or
change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to
which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce
this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or
indulgence of any kind by Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or
failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the
Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender in respect thereof (including
the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by
Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy
Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Lender
against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code
or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a

 

-30-

 

 surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Documents, without setoff or counterclaim, and regardless of any Applicable
Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms of the rights of
Lenders with respect thereto. The Obligations may be increased, reduced or paid in full at any
time and from time to time without affecting the liability or obligation of any Subsidiary
Guarantor under this Agreement with respect to all Obligations, whenever incurred or arising. All
Obligations now or hereafter arising shall be conclusively presumed to have been made or acquired
in acceptance hereof. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable, jointly and severally, with
Borrower and any other Person now or hereafter obligated in respect of the Obligations or any
portion thereof.

5.9.2. Waivers.

(a) Each Loan Party expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under
any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Lender to marshal assets or to
proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any
Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Loan Party. Each Loan Party
waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full
Payment of all Obligations. It is agreed among each Loan Party and Lender that the provisions of
this Section 5.9 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that,
but for such provisions, Lender would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the
conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released,
diminished, impaired, reduced or affected by the occurrence of any one or more of the following
events: (i) lack of organizational authority of Borrower or any other Obligor; (ii) any
receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceedings affecting Borrower or any other Obligor
or its property; (iii) partial or total release or discharge of Borrower or any other Obligor or
other Person from the performance of any obligation contained in any instrument or agreement
evidencing, governing or securing all or any part of the Obligations, whether occurring pursuant to
any Applicable Law or otherwise; (iv) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term of, or any increase in the amount of, all the Obligations, or any portion thereof,
or any other amendment or waiver of any term of, or any consent to departure from any requirement
of, any of the Loan Documents; (v) the taking or accepting of any collateral security for all or
any part of the Obligations, this Agreement or any other Guaranty; (vi) the taking or accepting of
any other Guaranty for all or any part of the Obligations; (vii) any failure to acquire, perfect or
continue any Lien on Collateral securing all or any part of the Obligations or on any other
property securing this Agreement; (viii) any exchange, release or subordination of any Lien on any
Collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or subordination of any term of any guaranty of the
Obligations or any other impairment of any collateral security or guaranty now or hereafter
securing all or any part of the Obligations; (ix) any failure to dispose of any collateral security
at any time securing all or any part of the Obligations or this Agreement in a commercially
reasonable manner or as otherwise may be required by any Applicable Law; (x) any merger,
reorganization, consolidation or dissolution of Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other
Obligor, any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Borrower, such Subsidiary
Guarantor or any other Obligor, or any change in name, business, organization, location,
composition, structure or organization of Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Obligor;
(xi) any Change of Control or any other change in the shareholders of Borrower, such Subsidiary
Guarantor, or any other Obligor; (xii) any invalidity or unenforceability of or defect or
deficiency in any of the Loan Documents; (xiii) avoidance or subordination of the Obligations, or
any portion thereof; (xiv) the unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations against
Borrower because any interest contracted for, charged, or received in respect of the Obligations
exceeds the

 

-31-

 

amount permitted by any Applicable Law; (xv) any waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by Lender with respect to the Obligations or any
provision of any of the Loan Documents; (xvi) any delay in or lack of enforcement of any remedies
under the Loan Documents; (xvii) the act of creating all or any part of the Obligations is ultra
vires, or the officers or other representatives creating all or any part of the Obligations acted
in excess of their authority; (xviii) any election of remedies by Lender; (xix) any of the Loan
Documents were forged; (xx) the election by Lender in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of
the application of Section 1111(b)(2) thereof; (xxi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest
by Borrower or any other Obligor, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy
Code, or the use of cash collateral by Borrower, or any consent by Lender to any of the foregoing;
(xxii) the disallowance in bankruptcy of all or any portion of the claims of Lender for payment of
any of the Obligations; or (xxiii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense available to Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor, or any other
Obligor (other than Full Payment of the Obligations).

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable
Law: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of any Loans, Letters of Credit, or
other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or
existence of any Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Obligations, subject, however, to
such Subsidiary Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of Lender to ascertain the amount thereof at any
reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower, any
other Obligor, or any other Person or of any other fact that might increase or otherwise change
such Subsidiary Guarantor’s risk with respect to the Obligations, Borrower, or any other Person
under this Agreement; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof,
notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, diligence, or
promptness in enforcement and indulgences of every kind as to any promissory notes or other
instruments among the Loan Documents; (vi) notice of any of the events or circumstances enumerated
in clause (b) above, and all other notices and demands to which such Subsidiary Guarantor might
otherwise be entitled (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents to which such Subsidiary
Guarantor is a party); (vii) any requirement that Lender protect, secure, perfect, or insure any
Lien on any Collateral or other property as security for the Obligations or exhaust any right or
take any action against Borrower, any other Obligor, or any other Person or any Collateral or any
other property subject to a Lien; (viii) the benefit of any statute of limitation applicable to
enforcement of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or any Liens in the Collateral or other
property as security for the Obligations or this Agreement; (ix) all rights by which such
Subsidiary Guarantor might be entitled to require suit on an accrued right of action in respect of
any of the Obligations or require suit against Borrower, any other Obligor, or any other Person,
whether arising pursuant to Section 34.02 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, as amended,
Section 17.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, as amended, Rule 31 of the Texas
Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended, or otherwise; or (x) any other defense of Borrower, any other
Obligor, or any other Person (other than Full Payment of the Obligations).

(d) Lender may, in its discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as it deems appropriate,
including realization upon Collateral or any Real Estate by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial

sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.9. If, in
taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Lender shall forfeit
any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Loan
Party or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies”
or otherwise, each Loan Party consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if
the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Loan Party might otherwise have
had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek
a deficiency judgment against any Loan Party shall not impair any other Loan Party’s obligation to
pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out
of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the
Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Loan Party’s

 

-32-

 

rights of subrogation
against any other Person. Lender may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure or
trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but
shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale,
whether Lender or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the
fair market value of the Collateral, and, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law,
the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be
conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.9,
notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing
the amount of any deficiency claim to which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding
at any such sale.

5.9.3. Extent of Liability; Contribution.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Loan Party’s liability under this
Section 5.9 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Loan Party is
primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Loan Party’s Allocable Amount.

(b) If any Loan Party makes a payment under this Section 5.9 of any Obligations (other than
amounts for which such Loan Party is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking
into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Party,
exceeds the amount that such Loan Party would otherwise have paid if each Loan Party had paid the
aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Loan
Party’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Loan Parties, then such Loan
Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be
reimbursed by, each other Loan Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their
respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The
“Allocable Amount” for any Loan Party shall be the maximum amount that could then be
recovered from such Loan Party under this Section 5.9 without rendering such payment voidable under
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance
act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.9 shall limit the liability of any Loan Party to pay
Loans made directly or indirectly to that Loan Party (including Loans advanced to any other Loan
Party and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Loan Party), LC
Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Loan Party’s business, and all
accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such
Loan Party shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

5.9.4. Joint Enterprise. Each Loan Party has requested that Lender make this credit facility available to Borrower,
in order to finance the Loan Parties’ business most efficiently and economically. The Loan
Parties’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the Loan Parties believe that
consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Loan Party and ease
the administration of their relationship with Lender, all to the mutual advantage of the Loan
Parties. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that Lender’s willingness to extend credit to the
Loan Parties and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done
solely as an accommodation to the Loan Parties and at the Loan Parties’ request.

5.9.5. Subordination. Each Loan Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to
payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it
may have at any time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all
Obligations.

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL

hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all amounts credited to any
Deposit Account of such Loan Party, including any sums in any blocked or lockbox accounts or in any
accounts into which such sums are swept. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes and directs each bank
or other depository to deliver to Lender, upon request, all balances in any Deposit Account
maintained by such Loan Party, without inquiry into the authority or right of Lender to make such
request. Each Loan Party irrevocably appoints Lender as such Loan Party’s attorney-in-fact to
collect such balances to the extent any such delivery is not so made.

7.2.2. Cash Collateral. Any Cash Collateral may be invested, at Lender’s discretion, in Cash Equivalents, but
Lender shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing with any Loan
Party, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. Each Loan Party hereby grants
to Lender a security interest in all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds
thereof, as security for the Obligations, whether such Cash Collateral is held in a Cash Collateral
Account or elsewhere. Lender may apply Cash Collateral to the payment of any Obligations, in such
order as Lender may elect, as they become due and payable. Each Cash Collateral Account and all
Cash Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. No Loan Party or other
Person claiming through or on behalf of any Loan Party shall have any right to any Cash Collateral,
until Full Payment of all Obligations.

7.3. Real Estate Collateral. The Obligations shall also be secured by Mortgages upon all Real Estate owned by the Loan
Parties, but excluding, (x) for so long as such property is subject to a mortgage in favor of
Allianz, the Coppell Facility and (y) (x) for so long as such property is subject to a mortgage in
favor of Frost, the Woodard Facility. The Mortgages shall be duly recorded, at the Loan Parties’
expense, in each office where such recording is required to constitute a fully perfected Lien on
the Real Estate covered thereby. If any Loan Party acquires a fee interest in any Real Estate with
a value in excess of $1,000,000 hereafter, such Loan Party shall promptly deliver notice of such
acquisition to Lender and shall, within 30 days after request by Lender , execute, deliver and
record a Mortgage sufficient to create a first priority Lien in favor of Lender on such Real
Estate, and shall deliver all Related Real Estate Documents requested by Lender.

7.4. Other Collateral.

7.4.1. Commercial Tort Claims. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing if any Loan Party has a Commercial Tort Claim
(other than, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less
than $100,000), shall promptly amend Schedule 9.1.16 to include such claim, and shall take such
actions as Lender deems appropriate to subject such claim to a duly perfected, first priority Lien
in favor of Lender.

7.4.2. Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing if, after the Closing Date, any Loan
Party obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper,
Documents, Instruments, Intellectual Property, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights and,
upon Lender’s request, shall promptly take such actions as Lender deems appropriate to effect
Lender’s duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral, including obtaining any
appropriate possession, control agreement or Lien Waiver. If any Collateral is in the possession
of a third party, at Lender’s request, Borrower shall obtain an acknowledgment that such third
party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Lender.

 

-37-

 

7.4.3. Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to investigate, identify and correct
any defects in title relating to such Loan Party’s Intellectual Property, shall make recordings
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office necessary to
reflect such corrections and shall notify Lender of any such defects and identify all steps taken
by such Loan Party with respect thereto.

7.5. No Assumption of Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject
Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of any Loan Party relating to any
Collateral.

7.6. Further Assurances; Extent of Liens. Promptly upon request, each Loan Party shall deliver such instruments, assignments, title
certificates, or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as Lender deems
appropriate under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to
give effect to the intent of this Agreement. Each Loan Party authorizes Lender to file any
financing statement that indicates the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of
such Loan Party, or words to similar effect, and ratifies any action taken by Lender before the
Closing Date to effect or perfect its Lien on any Collateral. All of Lender’s Liens on Collateral
(and all evidences of such Liens), whether effected hereunder or under any other Loan Document, are
granted to Lender as agent for the benefit of all Secured Parties.

7.7. Foreign Subsidiary Stock. Notwithstanding Section 7.1, the Collateral shall include only 65% of the voting stock of
any Foreign Subsidiary.

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

8.1. Borrowing Base Certificates. Borrower shall deliver to Lender (a) a Borrowing Base Certificate by the 20th day of each

close of business on Friday of the immediately preceding week, which may be prepared by updating
the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate for changes in gross Accounts, unbilled
Accounts, Inventory, in-transit Inventory and such other information as Lender may request from the
most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate, and (c) a Borrowing Base Certificate at such
other times as Lender may reasonably request. All calculations of Availability in any Borrowing
Base Certificate shall originally be made by Borrower and certified by a Senior Officer,
provided that Lender may from time to time review and adjust any such calculation (x) to
reflect its reasonable estimate of declines in value of any Collateral, due to collections received
in the Dominion Account or otherwise; (y) to adjust advance rates to reflect changes in dilution,
quality, mix and other factors affecting Collateral; and (z) to the extent the calculation is not
made in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the
Availability Reserve.

8.2. Administration of Accounts.

Borrower shall notify Lender of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within 3 Business Days)
after any Loan Party has knowledge thereof.

8.2.2. Taxes. If an Account of any Loan Party includes a charge for any Taxes, Lender is authorized, in
its discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such
Loan Party and to charge Borrower therefor; provided, however, that Lender shall not be liable for
any Taxes that may be due from any Loan Party or with respect to any Collateral.

8.2.3. Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right at any
time, in the name of Lender, any designee of Lender or any Loan Party, to verify the validity,
amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of any Loan Party by mail, telephone or
otherwise. The Loan Parties shall cooperate fully with Lender in an effort to facilitate and
promptly conclude any such verification process.

8.2.4. Maintenance of Dominion Account. Prior to the Dominion Date, the Loan Parties shall maintain the Frost Account, the related
lockbox accounts and other accounts subject to agreements establishing Lender’s control of such

acceptable to Lender. From and after the Dominion Date, the Loan Parties shall obtain an agreement
(in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account
bank, establishing Lender’s control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account, requiring
immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account, and waiving
offset rights of such servicer or bank, except for customary administrative charges. If a Dominion
Account is not maintained with Lender, Lender may require immediate transfer of all funds in such
account to a Dominion Account maintained with Lender. Lender does not assume any responsibility to
any Loan Party for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and
satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

8.2.5. Proceeds of Collateral. The Loan Parties shall request in writing and otherwise take all necessary steps to ensure
that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion
Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account) or, prior to the Dominion Date, the Frost
Account (or a lockbox relating to the Frost Account subject to Lender’s control). If any Loan
Party or Subsidiary receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold
same in trust for Lender and promptly (not later than the next Business Day) deposit same into a
Dominion Account or, prior to the Dominion Date, the Frost Account.

8.3. Administration of Inventory.

reports in form satisfactory to Lender, on such periodic basis as Lender may request, but in any
event, no less frequently than monthly. Each Loan Party shall conduct a physical inventory at
least once per calendar year (and on a more frequent basis if requested by Lender when an Event of
Default exists) and periodic cycle counts consistent with historical practices, and shall provide
to Lender a report based on each such inventory and count promptly upon completion thereof,
together with such supporting information as Lender may request. Lender may participate in and
observe each physical count.

the Obligations.

8.3.3. Acquisition, Sale and Maintenance. No Loan Party shall acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval, and shall
take all steps to assure that all Inventory is produced in accordance with Applicable Law,
including the FLSA. No Loan Party shall sell any Inventory on consignment or approval or any other
basis under which the customer may return or require a Loan Party to repurchase such Inventory.
The Loan Parties shall use, store and maintain all Inventory with reasonable care and caution, in
accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity with all Applicable Law,
and shall make current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in leases) at
all locations where any Collateral is located.

8.4. Administration of Equipment.

8.4.1. Records and Schedules of Equipment. Each Loan Party shall keep accurate and complete records of its Equipment, including kind,
quality, quantity, cost, acquisitions and dispositions thereof, and shall submit to Lender, on such
periodic basis as Lender may request, a current schedule thereof, in form satisfactory to Lender.
Promptly upon request, the Loan Parties shall deliver to Lender evidence of their ownership or
interests in any Equipment.

8.4.2. Dispositions of Equipment. No Loan Party shall sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equipment, without the prior
written consent of Lender, other than (a) a Permitted Asset Disposition; and (b) replacement of
Equipment that is worn, damaged or obsolete with Equipment of like function and value, if the
replacement Equipment is acquired substantially contemporaneously with such disposition and is free
of Liens.

8.4.3. Condition of Equipment. The Equipment is in good operating condition and repair, and all necessary replacements and
repairs have been made so that the value and operating efficiency of the Equipment is preserved at
all times, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Each Loan Party shall ensure that the Equipment is
mechanically and structurally sound, and capable of performing the functions for which it was
designed, in accordance with manufacturer specifications. No Loan Party shall permit any Equipment
to become affixed to real Property unless any landlord or mortgagee delivers a Lien Waiver.

8.5. Administration of Deposit Accounts. Schedule 8.5 sets forth all Deposit Accounts maintained by the Loan Parties, including all
Dominion Accounts. Each Loan Party shall take all actions necessary to establish Lender’s control
of each such Deposit Account (other than accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes or
employee benefits, or an account containing not more that $50,000 individually or $100,000 in the
aggregate for all such accounts at any time ). Each Loan Party shall be the sole account holder of
each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than Lender) to have control over
a Deposit Account or any Property deposited therein. Each Loan Party shall promptly notify Lender
of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account and, with the consent of Lender, will amend Schedule
8.5 to reflect same.

8.6. General Provisions.

8.6.1. Location of Collateral. All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, shall at all times be
kept by the Loan Parties at the business locations set forth in Schedule 8.6.1, except that the
Loan Parties may (a) make sales or other dispositions of Collateral in accordance with Section
10.2.6; and (b) move Collateral to another location in the United States, upon 30 Business Days
prior written notice to Lender.

8.6.2. Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

(a) Each Loan Party shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral, covering
casualty, hazard, public liability, theft, malicious mischief, flood and other risks, in amounts,
with endorsements and with insurers (with a Best Rating of at least A7, unless otherwise approved
by Lender) satisfactory to Lender. All proceeds under each policy shall be payable to Lender. The
Loan Parties shall at all times cause a “Life-of-Loan” flood plain search to be in effect with
respect to any Real Estate subject to a Mortgage. From time to time upon request, the Loan Parties
shall deliver to Lender the originals or certified copies of their insurance policies. Unless
Lender shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing
Lender as loss payee; (ii) requiring 30 days prior written notice to Lender in the event of
cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of
Lender shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Loan Party or the owner of
the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted
by the policy. If any Loan Party fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Lender may, at its
option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge Borrower
therefor. Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender, promptly as rendered, copies of all reports
made to insurance companies. While no Event of Default exists, the Loan Parties may settle, adjust
or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are delivered to Lender. If an Event of
Default exists, only Lender shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

(b) Any proceeds of insurance (other than proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O
insurance) and any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral shall be paid to Lender. Any
such proceeds or awards shall be applied to payment of the Loans, and then to any other Obligations
outstanding.

(c) If requested by Borrower in writing within 15 days after Lender’s receipt of any insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards relating to any loss or destruction of Equipment or Inventory or
Real Estate in which Lender has a Lien, the Loan Parties may use such proceeds or awards to repair
or replace such Equipment, Inventory or Real Estate (and until so used, the proceeds shall be held
by Lender as Cash Collateral) as long as (i) no Default or Event of Default exists; (ii) such
repair or replacement is promptly undertaken and concluded, in accordance with plans satisfactory
to Lender; (iii) replacement buildings are constructed on the sites of the original casualties and
are of comparable size, quality and utility to the destroyed buildings; (iv) the repaired or
replaced Property is free of Liens, other than Permitted Liens that are not Purchase Money Liens;
(v) the Loan Parties comply with disbursement procedures for such repair or replacement as Lender
may reasonably require; and (vi) the aggregate amount of such proceeds or awards from any single
casualty or condemnation does not exceed $500,000.

8.6.3. Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and
shipping any Collateral, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral (including any sale
thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Lender to any Person to realize upon any
Collateral, shall be borne and paid by Borrower. Lender shall not be liable or responsible in any
way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable
care in its custody while Collateral is in Lender’s actual possession), for any diminution in the
value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other
Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at the Loan Parties’ sole risk.

 

-41-

SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

9.1. General Representations and Warranties. To induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make available the Commitments, Loans
and Letters of Credit, each Loan Party represents and warrants that:

9.1.1. Organization and Qualification. Each Loan Party and Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each Loan Party and Subsidiary is duly
qualified, authorized to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

9.1.2. Power and Authority. Each Obligor is duly authorized to execute, deliver and perform its Loan Documents. The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all
necessary action, and do not (a) require any consent or approval of any holders of Equity Interests
of any Obligor, other than those already obtained; (b) contravene the Organic Documents of any
Obligor; (c) violate or cause a default under any Applicable Law or Material Contract; or (d)
result in or require the imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any Property of any
Obligor.

9.1.4. Capital Structure. Schedule 9.1.4 shows, for each Loan Party and Subsidiary, its name, its jurisdiction of
organization, its authorized and issued Equity Interests, the holders of its Equity Interests, and
all agreements binding on such holders with respect to their Equity Interests. Except as disclosed
on Schedule 9.1.4, in the five years preceding the Closing Date, no Loan Party or Subsidiary has
acquired any substantial assets from any other Person nor been the surviving entity in a merger or
combination. Each Loan Party has good title to its Equity Interests in its Subsidiaries, subject
only to Lender’s Lien, and all such Equity Interests are duly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. There are no outstanding purchase options, warrants, subscription rights,
agreements to issue or sell, convertible interests, phantom rights or powers of attorney relating
to Equity Interests of any Loan Party or Subsidiary.

9.1.5. Title to Properties; Priority of Liens. Each Loan Party and Subsidiary has good and marketable title to (or valid leasehold
interests in) all of its Real Estate, and good title to all of its personal Property, including all
Property reflected in any financial statements delivered to Lender, in each case free of Liens
except Permitted Liens. Each Loan Party and Subsidiary has paid and discharged all lawful claims
that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its Properties, other than Permitted Liens. All Liens of
Lender in the Collateral are duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens
that are expressly allowed to have priority over Lender’s Liens.

9.1.6. Accounts. Lender may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and
representations made by the Loan Parties with respect thereto. The Loan Parties warrant, with
respect to each Account at the time it is shown as an Eligible Account in a Borrowing Base
Certificate, that:

(a) it is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be, and is not evidenced by a
judgment;

(b) it arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods in the Ordinary Course
of Business, and substantially in accordance with any purchase order, contract or other document
relating thereto;

(c) it is for a sum certain, maturing as stated in the invoice covering such sale, a copy of
which has been furnished or is available to Lender on request;

(d) to the best of each Loan Party’s knowledge, it is not subject to any offset, Lien (other
than Lender’s Lien), deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim or other adverse condition except as
arising in the Ordinary Course of Business and disclosed to Lender; and it is absolutely owing by
the Account Debtor, without contingency in any respect;

(e) no purchase order, agreement, document or Applicable Law restricts assignment of the
Account to Lender (regardless of whether, under the UCC, the restriction is ineffective), and the
applicable Loan Party is the sole payee or remittance party shown on the invoice;

(f) no extension, compromise, settlement, modification, credit, deduction or return has been
authorized with respect to the Account, except discounts or allowances granted in the Ordinary
Course of Business for prompt payment that are reflected on the face of the invoice related thereto
and in the reports submitted to Lender hereunder; and

(g) to the best of each Loan Party’s knowledge, (i) there are no facts or circumstances that
are reasonably likely to impair the enforceability or collectibility of such Account; (ii) the
Account Debtor had the capacity to contract when the Account arose, continues to meet the
applicable Loan Party’s customary credit standards, is Solvent, is not contemplating or subject to
an Insolvency Proceeding, and has not failed, or suspended or ceased doing business; and (iii)
there are no proceedings or actions threatened or pending against any Account Debtor that could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Account Debtor’s financial
condition.

9.1.7. Financial Statements. The consolidated and consolidating balance sheets, and related statements of income, cash
flow and shareholder’s equity, of Borrower and Subsidiaries that have been and are hereafter
delivered to Lender, are prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the financial
positions and results of operations of Borrower and Subsidiaries at the dates and for the periods
indicated. All projections delivered from time to time to Lender have been prepared in good faith,
based on reasonable assumptions in light of the circumstances at such time. Nothing in this
Section 9.1.7 shall be construed as a representation or covenant that the Projections in fact will be achieved. Since June 30,
2008, there has been no change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower or any
Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No financial
statement delivered to Lender at any time contains any untrue statement of a material fact, nor
fails to disclose any material fact necessary to make such statement not materially misleading.
Each Loan Party and Subsidiary is Solvent.

9.1.8. Surety Obligations. No Loan Party or Subsidiary is obligated as surety or indemnitor under any bond or other
contract that assures payment or performance of any obligation of any Person, except as permitted
hereunder.

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

9.1.10. Brokers. There are no brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or investment banking fees payable in
connection with any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

9.1.11. Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party and Subsidiary owns or has the lawful right to use all Intellectual Property
necessary for the conduct of its business, without conflict with any rights of others. There is no
pending or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened Intellectual Property Claim with respect to
any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any of their Property (including any Intellectual Property).
Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.11, no Loan Party or Subsidiary pays or owes any Royalty or
other compensation to any Person with respect to any Intellectual Property. All Intellectual
Property owned, used or licensed by, or otherwise subject to any interests of, any Loan Party or
Subsidiary is shown on Schedule 9.1.11.

9.1.12. Governmental Approvals. Each Loan Party and Subsidiary has, is in compliance with, and is in good standing with
respect to, all Governmental Approvals necessary to conduct its business and to own, lease and
operate its Properties, except for any non-compliance which, individually or in the aggregate,
which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All necessary import,
export or other licenses, permits or certificates for the import or handling of any goods or other
Collateral have been procured and are in effect, and the Loan Parties and Subsidiaries have
complied with all foreign and domestic laws with respect to the shipment and importation of any
goods or Collateral, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

9.1.13. Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party and Subsidiary has duly complied, and its Properties and business
operations are in compliance with all Applicable Law, except where noncompliance could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There have been no citations, notices or
orders of material noncompliance issued to any Loan Party or Subsidiary under any Applicable Law.
No Inventory has been produced in violation of the FLSA.

9.1.14. Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.14, no Loan Party’s or Subsidiary’s past or present
operations, Real Estate or other Properties are subject to any federal, state or local
investigation to determine whether any remedial action is necessary under Environmental Law or any
lease agreements to address any Environmental Release. No Loan Party or Subsidiary has received
any Environmental Notice except where such Environmental Notice could not reasonably be expected to
result in an expenditure by or liability to any Loan Party or Subsidiary in excess of $100,000. No
Loan Party or Subsidiary has any contingent liability with respect to any Environmental Release on
any Real Estate now or previously owned, leased or operated by it.

9.1.15. Burdensome Contracts. No Loan Party or Subsidiary is a party or subject to any contract, agreement or charter
restriction that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party or
Subsidiary is party or subject to any Restrictive Agreement, except as shown on Schedule 9.1.15.
No such Restrictive Agreement prohibits the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document
by an Obligor.

9.1.16. Litigation. Except as shown on Schedule 9.1.16, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or,
to any Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened against any Loan Party or Subsidiary, or any of their

or transactions contemplated thereby; or (b) could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect if determined adversely to any Loan Party or Subsidiary. Except as shown on such
Schedule, no Obligor has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Default or Event of

default with respect to any order, injunction or judgment of any Governmental Authority.

9.1.17. No Defaults. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists that constitutes a Default or Event of
Default. No Loan Party or Subsidiary is in default, and no event or circumstance has occurred or
exists that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a default, under any
Material Contract or in the payment of any Borrowed Money. There is no basis upon which any party
(other than a Loan Party or Subsidiary) could terminate a Material Contract prior to its scheduled
termination date.

9.1.18. ERISA. Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.18:

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the Code, and other federal and state laws. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under
Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an
application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto or will
be filed before the end of the applicable remedial amendment period and, to the knowledge of the
Loan Parties, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification.
Each Obligor and ERISA Affiliate has made all required contributions to each Plan subject to
Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any
amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan.

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

law or by the terms of the Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance
with normal accounting practices; (ii) the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign
Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance, or the book
reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to
procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations with respect to all current and former
participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most
recently used to account for such obligations in accordance with applicable generally accepted
accounting principles; and (iii) it has been registered as required and has been maintained in good
standing with applicable regulatory authorities.

business relationship between any Loan Party or Subsidiary and any customer or supplier, or any
group of customers or suppliers, who individually or in the aggregate are material to the business

deemed to constitute control of any Obligor by Lender. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, the Related Parties acknowledge and agree that
(a)(i) this credit facility and all related services by Lender or its Affiliates are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Related Parties and such Person; (ii) the Related Parties have

Section, to any potential or actual transferee of any interest in a Loan Document or any actual or
prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of Borrower; or (h)
to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) is available to Lender or its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a

“Information” means all information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it
or its business, that is identified as confidential when delivered. Any Person required to

complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information.
Lender acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information concerning an
Obligor or Subsidiary; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance

proceedings against any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve
process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
to preclude enforcement by Lender of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

12.14. Waivers by Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives (a) the right to
trial by jury (which Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating
in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest,
notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension
or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties
at any time held by Lender on which a Loan Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies
anything Lender may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any
Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Lender to
exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws;
(f) any claim against Lender, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential,
exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any
Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of
acceptance hereof. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material
inducement to Lender entering into this Agreement and that Lender is relying upon the foregoing in
its dealings with the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its
legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following
consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a
written consent to a trial by the court.

12.15. Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot
Act, Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party,
including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Lender to
identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act. Lender will also require information regarding
each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding the Loan Parties’ management
and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth.

12.16. NO ORAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE
FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
