COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Subsidiary Guarantors
listed on the signature pages hereto from time to time, the financial institutions party to this
Agreement from time to time as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), and Credit Suisse, solely in
its capacity as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

which shall be applied to pay down the amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility
(without permanently reducing the commitment thereunder) and to pay fees and expenses related to
this Agreement and the Third Lien Notes. Lenders are willing to provide the term loan on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

forth below for such Quarterly Accrual Date:

which is the number of days from the Closing Date to the specified date, using a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months, and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Closing Date to

consecutive fiscal quarters prior to the date of such determination for which financial

	 	(A)	 	if Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any
Indebtedness since the beginning of such period that remains outstanding or if
the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage
Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, or both, EBITDA and Consolidated
Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a
pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred
on the first day of such period (except that in making such computation, the
amount of Indebtedness Incurred for working capital purposes under any
Revolving Credit Facility outstanding on the date of such calculation will be
deemed to be (i) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such
four fiscal quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was

the first day of such period and as if Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary
had not earned the interest income actually earned during such period in
respect of cash or Temporary Cash Investments used to repay, repurchase,
defease or otherwise discharge such Indebtedness,
	 
	 	(C)	 	if since the beginning of such period Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any Asset Disposition (including any
sale,

 

 

	 	 	 	lease, transfer or other disposition that would constitute an Asset
Disposition but for the exclusions contained in clauses (C) and (G) of the
definition thereof), EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount
equal to EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets which are
the subject of such Asset Disposition for such period, or increased by an
amount equal to EBITDA (if negative), directly attributable thereto for such
period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by
an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable
to any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid,
repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to Borrower and

	 	(D)	 	if since the beginning of such period Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in
any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary)
or an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of assets occurring in
connection with a transaction requiring a calculation to be made hereunder,
which constitutes all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business,
EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated
after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any
Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first
day of such period,
	 
	 	(E)	 	if since the beginning of such period any Person (that
subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into Borrower
or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have
made any Asset Disposition (including any sale, lease, transfer or other
disposition that would constitute an Asset Disposition but for the exclusions
contained in clauses (C) and (G) of the definition thereof), any Investment or
acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause
(C) or (D) above if made by Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary during such
period, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be
calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset
Disposition, Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such
period,
	 
	 	(F)	 	if since the beginning of such period any Person was designated
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or redesignated as, or otherwise became, a
Restricted Subsidiary, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense shall

 

 

	 	 	 	be calculated on a pro forma basis as if such event had occurred on the
first day of such period, and
	 
	 	(G)	 	if, since the beginning of such period, Borrower has classified
any of its businesses as discontinued operations, EBITDA and Consolidated
Interest Expense shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as to exclude the
impact of such discontinued operations on or after the date such operations are
classified as discontinued.

     For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an
acquisition of assets, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of
Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith,
the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or
accounting Officer of Borrower (and shall include any applicable Pro Forma Cost Savings). If any
Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect,
the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of
determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest
Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term
in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness is Incurred under a revolving credit facility and is
being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated
based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the
pro forma calculation to the extent that such Indebtedness was Incurred solely for
working capital purposes.

     “Consolidated Interest Expense” means, for any period, the total interest expense of Borrower

Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Borrower); provided, however,

issuer of such Preferred Stock (expressed as a decimal) for such period (as
estimated by the chief financial officer of Borrower in good faith);
	 
	 	(8)	 	interest incurred in connection with Investments in discontinued operations;

below, Borrower’s equity in the net income of any such Person for such period shall be
included in such Consolidated Net Income up to the aggregate amount of cash actually
distributed by such Person during such period to Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary as
a dividend or other distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or other
distribution paid to a Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitations contained in clause
(3) below);
	 
	 	(2)	 	any net income (or loss) of any Person acquired by Borrower or a Subsidiary in
a pooling of interests transaction (or any transaction accounted for in a manner

subject to restrictions, directly or indirectly, on the payment of dividends or the
making of distributions by such Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to
Borrower, except that

	 	(A)	 	subject to the exclusion contained in clause (4) below,
Borrower’s equity in the net income of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such
period shall be included in such Consolidated Net Income up to the aggregate
amount of cash actually distributed by such Restricted Subsidiary during such
period to Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend or other
distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or other distribution paid to
another Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitation contained in this clause); and

after-tax gains or losses on the disposition of discontinued operations;

GAAP. It is agreed that a change in GAAP contemplated above shall include the International
Financial Reporting Standards, or certain of the standards contained therein, becoming the required
methodology of financial reporting.

     Section 1.03 Uniform Commercial Code. As used herein, the following terms are defined
in accordance with the UCC in effect in the State of New York from time to time: “Chattel Paper,”
“Commercial Tort Claim,” “Deposit Account,” “Document,” “Equipment,” “General Intangibles,”
“Goods,” “Instrument,” “Inventory,” “Investment Property,” “Letter-of-Credit Right” and “Supporting
Obligation.”

     Section 1.04 Certain Matters of Construction(1) . The terms “herein,” “hereof,”
“hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular section, paragraph or subdivision. Any pronoun used shall be deemed to cover all
genders. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date,
“from” means “from and including,” and “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding.” The terms
“including” and “include” shall mean “including, without limitation” and, for purposes of each Loan
Document,
the parties agree that the rule of ejusdem generis shall not be applicable to limit any
provision. Section titles appear as a matter of convenience only and shall not affect the

 

 

interpretation of any Loan Document. All references to (a) laws or statutes include all related
rules, regulations, interpretations, amendments and successor provisions; (b) any document,
instrument or agreement include any amendments, amendments and restatements, refinancings,
replacements, waivers and other modifications, extensions or renewals (to the extent permitted by
the Loan Documents and unless otherwise specified); (c) any section mean, unless the context
otherwise requires, a section of this Agreement; (d) any exhibits or schedules mean, unless the
context otherwise requires, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which are hereby incorporated
by reference; (e) any Person include successors and assigns; (f) time of day mean time of day at
Agent’s notice address under Section 11.03; or (g) discretion of any Lender mean the sole and
absolute discretion of such Person. All calculations of value, fundings of Term Loans and payments
of Obligations shall be in U.S. Dollars. All references to thresholds or limits in U.S. Dollars or
$ will also be deemed to include the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof. Unless the context otherwise
requires, all determinations made from time to time under the Loan Documents shall be made in light
of the circumstances existing at such time. Borrowers shall have the burden of establishing any
alleged negligence, misconduct or lack of good faith by Agent or any Lender under any Loan
Documents. No provision of any Loan Documents shall be construed against any party by reason of
such party having, or being deemed to have, drafted the provision. Whenever the phrase “to the
best of Borrower’s knowledge” or words of similar import are used in any Loan Documents, including
references to “knowledge of any Obligor”, it means actual knowledge of an Officer, or knowledge
that an Officer would have obtained if he or she had engaged in good faith and diligent performance
of his or her duties, including reasonably specific inquiries of employees or agents and a good
faith attempt to ascertain the matter to which such phrase relates.

     Section 1.05 Certifications. All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or
representative of an Obligor shall be made by such person in his or her capacity solely as an
officer or a representative of such Obligor, on such Obligor’s behalf and not in such person’s
individual capacity.

     Section 1.06 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day
shall be references to Eastern Standard Time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

ARTICLE 2

LOAN

     Section 2.01 Term Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees
to make Term Loans to the Borrower on the Closing Date by advancing to the Borrower the aggregate
gross proceeds equal to 78.1% of the principal amount set forth opposite the name of such Lender on
Schedule 2.01 in an aggregate maximum principal amount for all Lenders of $16,800,000 (the
“Term Loan 
Commitment”) (prior to giving effect to the Original Issue Discount (as defined below)).
The Term Loan Commitment will be terminated upon the making of such Term Loans. The Term Loans
will be advanced with an original issue discount of 21.9% (the “Original Issue Discount”).
For avoid of doubt, the terms “principal” or “principal amount” through this Agreement refer to the
amount prior to giving effect to the Original Issue Discount. The aggregate principal balance of
the Term Loans shall be repaid in full on the

 

 

Maturity Date. No amounts repaid or prepaid with
respect to any Term Loan may be reborrowed.

     Section 2.02 Notes. Promptly following the request of any Lender, Borrower shall
execute and deliver to such Lender a Note to evidence its Term Loans, such Note to be in the
principal amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans. Whether or not any Note is
issued, this Agreement is evidence of Borrower’s Obligations with respect to the Term Loans. In the
event of an assignment under Section 10.01, Borrower shall, promptly following surrender of
the assigning Lender’s Notes, issue new Notes to reflect the interests of the assigning Lender and
the Person to which interests are to be assigned. Each Note shall bear a legend in substantially
the following form:

     “THIS NOTE BEARS ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT. UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE CHIEF FINANCIAL
OFFICER, COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP, INC., 7800 WALTON PARKWAY, NEW ALBANY, OH 43054, INFORMATION
REGARDING THE AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL DISCOUNT, ISSUE DATE AND YIELD TO MATURITY WILL BE MADE
AVAILABLE.”

     Section 2.03 Funding Authorization. The proceeds of the Term Loans made pursuant to
this Agreement are to be funded by Lenders by wire transfer to the account designated by Borrower
on Schedule 2.03.

     Section 2.04 Interest. From the Closing Date until the Term Loans become due and are
repaid in full, the Term Loans shall bear interest, payable at the fixed per annum rate of fifteen
percent (15.0%) on the Term Loans on such Interest Payment Date (as defined below).

     Section 2.05 Calculation of Interest. Interest on the Term Loans shall be calculated
daily on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on the basis of a three hundred sixty
(360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.
Interest on the Term Loans is payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter ending on
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”)
beginning with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2009 and ending on the Maturity Date,
whether by acceleration or otherwise. The accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans hereunder
that is due and payable on each such Interest Payment Date shall be paid solely in cash.

     Section 2.06 Defaulted Interest. At the election of Requisite Lenders, effective upon written notice to Borrower, during the
continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Obligations
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest otherwise in effect from time
to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement plus 2.00% (the “Default Rate”).

     Section 2.07 Excess Interest. (a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and
neither Agent nor any Lender shall be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the
maximum amount of interest permitted by law (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is
provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in

 

 

this
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this
Section 2.07 shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any
Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall
be, at Lenders’ option, (a) applied as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of the
Obligations or accrued and unpaid interest (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b)
refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; and (4) the interest
rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from
time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such
reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation is
calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter
such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such
Obligation shall remain at the Maximum Rate until each Lender shall have received the amount of
interest that such Lender would have received during such period on such Obligation had the rate of
interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

     Section 2.08 Other Fees and Expenses. Borrower agrees to promptly, and in any event
within five (5) Business Days following written demand (including, to the extent reasonably
requested by Borrower, documentation supporting such request) therefor, pay all reasonable (i)
fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and
appraisal fees and expenses) incurred by Agent and any Lender in connection with any matters
contemplated by or arising out of the Loan Documents, in connection with the examination, review,
due diligence investigation, documentation, negotiation, closing and syndication of the
transactions contemplated herein and in connection with the continued administration of the Loan
Documents and the performance of Agent’s duties thereunder, including any amendments,
modifications, consents and waivers, and (ii) fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Agent and
any Lender acting in any capacity (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses and appraisal fees and expenses) in connection with the preservation, enforcement or
protection of any of their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, in no event shall Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor be responsible for any portion of costs, fees or expenses of Agent, any Lender
or any Lender-Related Person to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction finally
determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent, such Lender
or such Lender-Related Person or a
Claim arising solely among Lenders or Lender-Related Persons, as the case may be. All fees,
costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under this Section 2.08 shall be
deemed part of the Obligations when incurred, payable in accordance with Section 2.09 and
secured by the Collateral.

     Section 2.09 Repayments. All payments by Borrower of the Obligations shall be made in
US Dollars, in same day funds and delivered to the Agent, as applicable, by wire transfer to the
accounts set forth on Schedule 2.09 or such other place within the United States as Agent may from
time to time designate in writing:

     Borrower shall receive credit on the day of receipt for funds received by a Lender or Agent,
as applicable, by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time). If funds are received at or after 1:00pm (New
York City time), such funds shall be deemed to have been paid on the next

 

 

Business Day. Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be
included in the computation of the amount of interest and fees due hereunder. The prior two
sentences notwithstanding, as long as any such payment shall have been received by the Agent on the
applicable due date, no Event of Default or Default shall have been deemed to have occurred with
respect to the time such payment was made. Agent shall only be obligated to transfer any amounts
to the Lenders if and to the extent Agent has actually received such amounts from Borrower or any
other Obligor in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

     Section 2.10 Voluntary Prepayments of the Term Loans. Borrower may prepay the Term
Loans, in whole or in part, from time to time, upon written or fax notice (or telephone notice
promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of such
prepayment, to the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, in the amount of the
principal amount so prepaid (which amount shall not be less than $500,000) plus a prepayment
premium equal to (a) 7.5% of the Accreted Value thereof if such prepayment occurs after the first
anniversary of the Closing Date but on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (b)
3.75% of the Accreted Value thereof if such prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the
Closing Date but on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date, and (c) 0% of the Accreted
Value thereof if such prepayment occurs after the third anniversary of the Closing Date;
provided, further, that Borrower may not prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part,
pursuant to this Section 2.10 on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date. Any
such prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

     Section 2.11 Mandatory Prepayments of the Term Loans.

          (a) Within five Business Days of any Permitted Asset Disposition, Borrower shall prepay the
Term Loans with the Net Available Cash of such Permitted Asset Disposition; provided, that
such Net Available Cash shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that such
proceeds are used to acquire Property useful in the business of the Obligors
within 180 days of receipt of such Net Available Cash (or a binding commitment to acquire such
Property is entered into within 180 days and such reinvestment is actually made within 360 days),
and to the extent the Net Available Cash exceeds $500,000, Borrower shall have delivered to Agent
an Officer’s Certificate within five Business Days of such Permitted Asset Disposition stating such
intent. Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in the amount of any Net Available Cash not actually
reinvested within such 180 (or 360) day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Borrower shall
prepay the Term Loans with any Net Available Cash, and shall not be permitted to reinvest such Net
Available Cash at any time when any Default or Event of Default exists, and (ii) any Property
acquired with such Net Available Cash shall be free of Liens, other than Permitted Liens.

          (b) Within five Business Days of the receipt of any proceeds of insurance or condemnation
awards paid in respect of any Equipment or Real Estate with the Net
Available Cash of such award, Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans
(according to the ownership of such Equipment or Real Estate); provided, that such Net Available
Cash shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower shall have
delivered an Officer’s Certificate to Agent on or prior to such date stating

 

 

that such proceeds
shall actually be used to acquire Property useful in the business of the Obligors within 180 days
of receipt of such Net Available Cash (or a binding commitment to acquire such Property is entered
into within 180 days and such reinvestment is actually made within 360 days), provided further,
that (i) no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) the replaced Property is free of Liens, other
than Permitted Liens; and (iii) the aggregate amount of such proceeds or awards from any single
casualty or condemnation does not exceed $1,000,000. Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in the
amount of any Net Available Cash not actually reinvested within such 180 (or 360) day period.

          (c) Any such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be in the amount of the principal
amount so prepaid and accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

          (d) On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall repay all principal amount of Term Loans (unless
sooner repaid hereunder).

     Section 2.12 Maturity. All of the Obligations shall become due and payable on the
Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to
declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Term Loans and the other
Obligations to be due and payable immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default. Until all Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied
(other than contingent obligations not then asserted), Agent shall be entitled to retain the Liens
in the Collateral granted hereunder and under the Security Documents and the ability to exercise
all rights and remedies available to Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents and Applicable
Laws.

     Section 2.13 Loan Accounts. Agent will maintain separate loan account records for (a)
the amount of each Term Loan made hereunder, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become
due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (c) the amount of any sum
received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and each Lender’s
share thereof. The balance in the loan accounts pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be
presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Lenders, provided that any failure by Agent to
so record shall not limit or affect Borrower’s obligation to pay. During the continuance of an
Event of Default, Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all
payments and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that the Agent and each Lender shall have the
continuing exclusive right to thereafter apply payments in any manner it deems appropriate.

     Section 2.14 Taxes.

          (a) No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder or under the Notes
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto of any nature
whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, excluding (a) any such taxes to the extent imposed on
Agent’s or a Lender’s net income by the jurisdiction in which Agent or such Lender is organized,
resident or carrying on business (including branch profits taxes), and (b) any United States
federal withholding taxes that (i) would be imposed on amounts payable to a Foreign

 

 

Lender based
upon the applicable withholding rate in effect at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party to
this Agreement (or designates a new lending office) or (ii) are imposed on amounts payable to a
Foreign Lender as a consequence of such Foreign Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 2.14(c). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Loan Document to any Lender or Agent , then (i)
the sum payable hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be increased as may be necessary so
that, after making all required withholdings and deductions (including withholdings and deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.05), Agent or such Lender
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions
been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, Borrower shall not be required to
increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or any
Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.

          (b) Changes in Tax Laws. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, (1) any changes
in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application
thereof, (2) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or
application thereof, or (3) compliance by Agent or any Lender with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority, agency or
instrumentality:

     (1) does or shall subject Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever
or causes the withdrawal or termination of a previously granted tax exemption with
respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Term Loans made
hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent or such Lender of
principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for net
income taxes or capital taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income
taxes, imposed generally by federal, state, provincial or local taxing authorities
with respect to interest or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of
tax on the overall net income of Agent or any such Lender); or

     (2) does or shall impose on Agent or any Lender any other condition or
increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or
participations herein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any Lender of continuing
the Term Loans hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case,
Borrower shall promptly pay to Agent or such Lender, within 15 days of written demand (including
documentation reasonably supporting such request), any additional amounts necessary to compensate
Agent or Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, as
determined by Agent or such Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If
Agent or any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section
2.14(b), it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which Agent or such Lender
has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the
foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrower shall,

 

 

absent manifest error, be
final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Obligors shall not be required to compensation a Lender for any such increased costs or
reduced amounts receivable suffered more than 120 days prior the date that Lender notified the
Obligors of such change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
lender’s intention to claim compensation thereof.

          (c) Withholding. Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United
States (a “Foreign Lender”) as to which payments to be made in US Dollars under this
Agreement or under the Notes are exempt from United States withholding tax or are subject to United
States withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to
Borrower and Agent (1) a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
Form W-8ECI or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service of the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to such exemption
or reduced rate of withholding with respect to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under
this Agreement and under the Notes (a “Certificate of Exemption”) or (2) a letter from any
such Foreign Lender stating that it is not entitled to any such exemption or reduced rate of
withholding (a “Letter of Non-Exemption”). Prior to becoming a Lender under this Agreement
and within fifteen (15) days after a written request of Borrower or Agent from time to time
thereafter, each Foreign Lender that becomes a Lender under this Agreement shall provide a
Certificate of Exemption or a Letter of Non-Exemption to Borrower and Agent. If a Foreign Lender
is entitled to an exemption with respect to US Dollar payments to be made to
such Foreign Lender under this Agreement (or to a reduced rate of withholding) and does not
provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and Agent within the time periods set forth in the
preceding paragraph, Borrower shall withhold taxes from payments to such Foreign Lender at the
applicable statutory rates and Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts as a
result of such withholding, provided that all such withholding shall cease upon delivery by such
Foreign Lender of a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and Agent.

          (d) If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of
any taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent
of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect
to taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such a refund); provided, that the Borrower, within 2 business days of the
written request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other
than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of Agent or such Lender or Claim among the Lenders and/or Agent) to Agent or such
Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 2.14 shall not
be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

 

 

          (e) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and applicable legal and
regulatory requirements) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office or to take other
reasonable actions if such a change or action would reduce any such additional amounts (or any
similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender,
be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

     Section 2.15 Liability Unconditional. Borrower hereby agrees that it is liable for
the full and prompt payment (whether at Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise) and
performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Agent and the Lenders by Borrower.
Borrower agrees that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, its liability shall be absolute
and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

     (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of,
or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or
instrument to which Borrower is or may become a party;

     (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the waiver or consent by Agent or the Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

     (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any
security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any
Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

     (d) the insolvency of Borrower; or

     (e) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than payment in full),

it being agreed by Borrower that its obligations as confirmed under this Section 2.15 shall not be
discharged until the payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred. To the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the
future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent
or any Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder
against any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations
before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, Borrower. It is agreed among
Borrower, Agent and the Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of
this Section 2.15 and such waivers, each Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Section 3.01 General Representations and Warranties. To induce Agent and Lenders to
enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make available the Term Loans, each Obligor
represents and warrants that:

 

 

     (a) Organization and Qualification. Each Obligor is duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing (if applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.
Each Obligor is duly qualified, authorized to do business and in good standing (if
applicable) as a foreign corporation or company in each jurisdiction where failure to be so
qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (b) Power and Authority. Each Obligor is duly authorized to execute, deliver and
perform its Obligations under the 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 Capital Stock 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, Material Contract or Restrictive Agreement except
to the extent such violation or default could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect; or (d) result in or require the imposition of any Lien (other than
Permitted Liens) on any Property of any Obligor.

     (c) Enforceability. Each Loan Document is a legal, valid and binding obligation of
each Obligor party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

     (d) Capital Structure. Schedule 3.01(d) shows, for each of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, its name, its jurisdiction of organization, its authorized and issued Capital
Stock, the holders of its Capital Stock, and all agreements binding on such holders with
respect to their Capital Stock as of the Closing Date. Except as disclosed on Schedule
3.01(d), in the five years preceding the Closing Date, no Obligor has acquired any
substantial assets from any other Person nor been the surviving entity in a merger or
combination. Borrower has good title to its Capital Stock in its Subsidiaries, subject only
to Agent’s Lien and other Permitted Liens, and all such Capital Stock is duly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable to the extent applicable. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.01(d),
as of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding purchase options, warrants, subscription
rights, agreements to issue or sell, convertible interests, phantom rights or powers of
attorney relating to Capital Stock of any Obligor.

     (e) Title to Properties; Priority of Liens. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries has
good and marketable title to (or valid leasehold interests in) all of its material Real
Estate, and good and marketable title to all of its material personal Property, including
all such Property reflected in any financial statements delivered to Agent or Lenders, in
each case free of Liens except Permitted Liens and minor defects in title that do not
interfere with the ability of any of Borrower and its Subsidiaries to conduct its business
as currently conducted or to utilize such Property for its intended
purposes. Each of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries has paid and discharged all lawful claims that, if unpaid,
could become a Lien on its Properties, other than Permitted Liens. To the extent required
by the Loan Documents, all Liens of Agent in the Collateral are duly perfected, valid and
enforceable second priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens and minor defects in
title that do not interfere with such Obligor’s ability to conduct its business as currently
conducted or to utilize such Property for its intended

 

 

purposes; provided,
however, that for registered United States trademarks, United States trademark
applications, United States patents, United States patent applications, and registered
United States copyrights, the security interest will be perfected upon filing, to the extent
perfection of a security interest can be accomplished by such a filing, of the Trademark
Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Patent Security
Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the Copyright Security
Agreement with the United States Copyright Office, and such perfected security interest is
enforceable as such against any and all creditors of and purchasers from Obligors in the
United States.

     (f) Financial Statements. The consolidated 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 Agent and Lenders, are prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present in
all material respects the financial positions and results of operations of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries at the dates and for the periods indicated, subject to, in the case of monthly
or quarterly balance sheets and related statements, to the absence of footnotes and year end
audit adjustments. All projections delivered by the Obligors to Agent and Lenders have been
prepared in good faith, based on reasonable assumptions in light of the circumstances at
such time, it being acknowledged, and agreed by Lenders, however, that projections
as to future events are not viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or
periods covered by said projections may differ from the projected results and that the
differences may be material. Since June 28, 2009 there has been no change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Obligors and their
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are Solvent.

     (g) Surety Obligations. No Borrower or its 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.

     (h) Taxes. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state,
national, regional, provincial and material local tax returns and other material reports and
all other tax returns and reports and all state and foreign income reports and declarations
required by any jurisdiction to which any of them is subject 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 contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings or to the extent permitted by Section 4.03 or Section 4.10. The
provision for Taxes on the books of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is adequate for all years
not closed by applicable statutes, and for its current fiscal year.

     (i) Brokers. Except for as set forth on Schedule 3.01(i), there are no brokerage
commissions, finder’s fees or investment banking fees payable in connection with any
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

     (j) Intellectual Property. Each Obligor owns or has the lawful right to use all
Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business to the knowledge of such

 

 

Obligor without infringing or misappropriating any Intellectual Property rights of others
except to the extent that such failure to own or have such rights to use or any conflict
would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no
pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened Intellectual Property Claim with respect to
any
Obligor or any of their Property (including any Intellectual Property that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). Except as disclosed on Schedule
3.01(j), no Obligor pays or owes any royalty or other compensation to any Person with
respect to any Intellectual Property (excluding “shrink-wrap”, “click-wrap”, or other
“off-the-shelf” software). All registered Intellectual Property owned by any Obligor is
shown on Schedule 3.01(j).

     (k) Governmental Approvals. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries 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 to the
extent the failure to have such Governmental Approval would not reasonably be expected to
result in 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 Borrower 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.

     (l) Compliance with Laws. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries has duly complied, and
its Properties and business operations are in compliance, in all material respects 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 Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Applicable Law which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Inventory has been produced in
violation of the FLSA.

     (m) Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.01(m), no
Obligor’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 of a material
nature is needed to address any environmental pollution, hazardous material or environmental
clean-up. No Obligor has received any Environmental Notice which would reasonably be
expected to result in a material liability to such Obligor. No Obligor has any contingent
liability with respect to any Environmental Release, environmental pollution or hazardous
material on any Real Estate now or previously owned, leased or operated by it where such
liability could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (n) Burdensome Contracts. Neither Borrower nor its Subsidiaries is a party or subject
to any contract, agreement or charter restriction that could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower or Subsidiary is party or subject to any Restrictive
Agreement, except as shown on Schedule 3.01(n) as of the Closing Date. No such
Restrictive Agreement prohibits the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan
Document by an Obligor.

 

 

     (o) Litigation. Except as shown on Schedule 3.01(o), there are no proceedings or
investigations pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against Borrower or any
Subsidiary, or any of their businesses, operations, Properties, prospects or conditions,
that (a) relate to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby; or (b) could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if determined adversely to Borrower
or any Subsidiary.

     (p) No Defaults. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists that constitutes a
Default or Event of Default. No Obligor 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 (after giving effect to any cure or grace period and waivers or amendments thereof),
under any Material Contract or any Restrictive Agreement. As of the Closing Date, there is
no basis upon which any party (other than the Borrower or Subsidiary) could terminate a
Material Contract prior to its scheduled termination date.

     (q) ERISA.

     (i) 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 or prototype opinion from the IRS or an application for such a
letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the
knowledge of Borrower, nothing has occurred which would reasonably be expected to
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.

     (ii) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened claims,
actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any
Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has
been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules
with respect to any Plan that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (iii) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (ii)
no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability that could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) no Obligor or
ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability
under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due
and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA); (iv) no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate
has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has
occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result
in such liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a
Multiemployer Plan; and (v) no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a
transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

 

 

     (iv) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.01(q), with respect to any Foreign Plan,
(i) all employer and employee contributions required by 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.

     (v) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.01(q), neither Borrower nor any
Subsidiary is or has at any time been an employer (for the purposes of Sections 38
to 51 of the Pensions Act) of an occupational pension scheme which is not a money
purchase scheme (both terms as defined in the Pensions Schemes Act).

     (vi) Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is or has at any time been “connected”
with or an “associate” of (as those terms are used in Sections 38 and 43 of the
Pensions Act) such an employer.

     (r) Trade Relations. There exists no actual or threatened termination, limitation or
modification of any business relationship between Borrower 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 of Borrower and Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

     (s) Labor Relations. Except as described on Schedule 3.01(s), as of the Closing Date
no Obligor is party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement, or material
management agreement or consulting agreement. Except as described on Schedule 3.01(s), as
of the Closing Date there are no material grievances, disputes or controversies with any
union
or other organization of any Obligor’s employees, or, to any Obligor’s knowledge, any
asserted or threatened strikes, work stoppages or demands for collective bargaining.

     (t) Payable Practices. No Obligor has made any material change in its historical
accounts payable practices from those in effect on the Closing Date.

     (u) Not a Regulated Entity. No Obligor is (a) an “investment company” or a “person
directly or indirectly controlled by or acting on behalf of an investment company” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940; or (b) subject to regulation under the
Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any public utilities code or any other
Applicable Law regarding its authority to incur Indebtedness.

 

 

     (v) Margin Stock. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged, principally or as
one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No Term Loan proceeds will be used by Borrower to
purchase or carry, or to reduce or refinance any Indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry,
any Margin Stock or for any related purpose governed by Regulations T, U or X of the Board
of Governors.

     Section 3.02 Complete Disclosure. No Loan Document (as amended or updated as provided
for herein)(including, without limitation, any financial statements delivered to Agent or Lenders
at any time) other than projections, budgets, estimates and other forward looking statements,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact, nor fails to disclose any material fact necessary
to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading. There is no fact or
circumstance that any Obligor has failed to disclose to Agent in writing that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE 4

COVENANTS1

     Section 4.01 [Reserved].

     Section 4.02 SEC Reports. Whether or not Borrower is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, Borrower shall file with the SEC (subject to the next sentence) and provide the
Agent and Lenders with such annual and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of
the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such reports to be
so filed and provided at the times specified for the filings of such reports under such Sections
and containing all the information, audit reports and exhibits required for such reports, and, in
addition thereto, calculations in respect of Sections 10.3.1 and 10.3.3 of the Bank of America
Credit Agreement (as such Sections are in effect on the date hereof or as such Sections may be
amended hereafter with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) for any test period on which
Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(1) exceeds $27.5 million on the last day of
such test period, whether or not such covenants are required to be tested in such test period (such
calculations, the “Basket Calculation”). If at any time Borrower is not subject to the
periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, Borrower will nevertheless
continue filing the reports specified in the preceding sentence with the SEC within the time
periods required unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. Borrower agrees that it will not
take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept such filings (and/or the Basket Calculation)
for any reason, Borrower will post the reports (and/or the Basket Calculation) specified in the
preceding sentences on its website within the time periods that would apply if Borrower were
required to file those reports with the SEC.

     At any time that any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries are Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the
quarterly and annual financial information required by the first paragraph of this Section 4.02
will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or
in

indenture.

 

 

the footnotes thereto, and, in the event that the Unrestricted Subsidiaries, individually or
collectively, constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of
operations of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and
results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Borrower.

     Section 4.03 Limitation on Indebtedness.

          (a) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to Incur any
Indebtedness.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a), Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries
shall be entitled to Incur any or all of the following Indebtedness:

     (1) Indebtedness Incurred by Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors under an Other
Credit Agreement in an amount not to exceed $47.5 million outstanding at any one
time; provided, however, that Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors
shall not be entitled to Incur Indebtedness in any amount which will result in the
aggregate amount of all Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to clause (b)(1) to exceed
$27.5 million outstanding at any one time unless the calculations provided with the
annual or quarterly financial information most recently
furnished pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof demonstrate that Borrower was in
compliance (or would have been in compliance if such covenants were required to be
tested) with Sections 10.3.1 and 10.3.3 of the Bank of America Credit Agreement (as
such Sections are in effect on the date hereof or as such Sections may be amended
hereafter with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) for the applicable test period;
provided, further, however, that the aggregate amount of all
Indebtedness that may be Incurred under this clause (b)(1) shall be further reduced
by the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (12) of this
Section 4.03(b) and then outstanding;

     (2) Indebtedness owed to and held by Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary;
provided, however, that (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of
any Capital Stock which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a
Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (other than to
Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute
the Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the obligor thereon, (B) if Borrower is the
obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the
prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Term Loans and
(C) if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness
is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations of
such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its Subsidiary Guaranty;

     (3) the Obligations;

 

 

     (4) Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date (other than Indebtedness
described in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 4.03(b)), including the 8%
Senior Notes due 2013, the Third Lien Notes (including any PIK Securities issued
from time to time as payment of PIK Interest (as defined therein) on such Securities
and any increase in the principal amount of such Securities as a result of payment
of PIK Interest (as defined therein) on such Third Lien Notes), the intercompany
loan from Bostrom Ltd. to Borrower in the principal amount of $10,861,723 and the
intercompany loan from Commercial Vehicle Systems Ltd. to Borrower in the principal
amount of $4,812,760;

     (5) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary Incurred and outstanding on or
prior to the date on which such Subsidiary was acquired by Borrower or a Restricted
Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness Incurred in connection with, or to provide all
or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the
transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Subsidiary
became a Subsidiary or was acquired by Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary);
provided, however, that on the date of such acquisition and after
giving pro forma effect thereto, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio would
exceed 2:00 to 1:00;

     (6) Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to
clause (3), (4) or (5) of this Section 4.03(b) or this clause (6); provided,
however, that to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness directly or
indirectly Refinances Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Incurred pursuant to clause
(5), such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be Incurred only by such Subsidiary;

     (7) Hedging Obligations that are Incurred for bona fide hedging purposes that
are entered into in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative
purposes;

     (8) Obligations in respect of performance, bid and surety bonds and completion
guarantees provided by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course
of business;

     (9) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial
institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds
in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such
Indebtedness is extinguished within three Business Days of its Incurrence;

     (10) Indebtedness consisting of the Subsidiary Guaranty of a Subsidiary
Guarantor and any Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness Incurred
pursuant to paragraph (a) or pursuant to clause (1), (2), (3) or (4) or pursuant to
clause (6) to the extent the Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred thereunder directly
or indirectly Refinances Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) or pursuant
to clause (3) or (4);

     (11) [Reserved];

 

 

     (12) Indebtedness Incurred by a Receivables Subsidiary in a Qualified
Receivables Transaction that is not recourse to Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary (except for Standard Securitization Undertakings); provided,
however, that, immediately after giving effect to any such Incurrence the
aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (12)
and then outstanding does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness
permitted to be Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of this Section 4.03(b) less the
aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of this
Section 4.03(b) and then outstanding;

     (13) [Reserved];

     (14) Indebtedness consisting of customary indemnification, adjustment of
purchase price, earn-out or similar obligations of Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary, in each case Incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition
of any assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however, that with respect to any such disposition, the maximum aggregate
liability in respect of all such Indebtedness will at no time exceed the gross
proceeds actually received by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection
with such disposition;

     (15) [Reserved]; and

     (16) Indebtedness of Borrower or of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in an
aggregate principal amount which, when taken together with all other Indebtedness of
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding on the date of such Incurrence
(other than Indebtedness permitted by clauses (1) through (15) of this Section
4.03(b)) does not exceed $5.0 million.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall Incur
any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or
indirectly, to Refinance any Junior Financing of Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor unless such
Indebtedness (and/or the Liens securing such Indebtedness) shall be subordinated to the Term Loans
or to the applicable Subsidiary Guaranty of such Subsidiary Guarantor (and/or the Liens securing
the Term Loans or the applicable Subsidiary Guaranty) to at least the same extent as such Junior
Financing.

          (d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, (1) in the event that an
item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the types of
Indebtedness described herein, Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall be permitted to classify and
later reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies
with this Section 4.03 and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such
Indebtedness in one of the above clauses; provided, however that (A) Indebtedness
under the Other Credit Agreement outstanding on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the
transactions occurring on such date) will be deemed to have been Incurred on such date under
Section 4.03(b)(1) and (B) Borrower will not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of any
Indebtedness Incurred under Sections 4.03(b)(1) or (12); and (2) Borrower shall be entitled to

 

 

divide and classify or reclassify (to the extent permitted by clause (1) of this paragraph (d)) an
item of Indebtedness into more than one of the types of Indebtedness described herein.

          (e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar denominated restriction on the
Incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness Incurred is denominated in a different currency,
the amount of such Indebtedness shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the
Incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness
denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement with respect to U.S. Dollars
covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of
such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. Dollars shall be as provided in such Currency Agreement. The
principal amount of any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness
being Refinanced shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness Refinanced, except to the
extent that (1) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which
case the Refinancing Indebtedness shall be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence,
and (2) the principal amount of the Refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the
Indebtedness being Refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess, as
appropriate, shall be determined on the date such Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred.

     Section 4.04 Limitation on Restricted Payments. §  Borrower shall not, and shall not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to make a Restricted Payment.

          (a) The provisions of Section 4.04 shall not prohibit:

     (1) any Restricted Payment made out of the Net Cash Proceeds of the
substantially concurrent sale of, or made by exchange for, Capital Stock of Borrower
(other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a
Subsidiary of Borrower or an employee stock ownership plan or to a trust established
by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees) or a
substantially concurrent cash capital contribution received by Borrower from its
shareholders;

     (2) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or
retirement for value of Junior Financing of Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor made
by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent Incurrence
of, Indebtedness of such Person which is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to
Section 4.03 so long as such Indebtedness is Refinancing Indebtedness;

     (3) dividends or other distributions paid within 60 days after the date of
declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such dividend or other
distribution would have complied with this Section 4.04; provided,
however, that at the time of payment of such dividend or other distribution,
no other Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom);

     (4) so long as no Default has occurred or is continuing, repurchases of Capital
Stock deemed to occur in connection with surrender of shares of Capital

 

 

Stock to
satisfy tax withholding obligations of employees or directors; provided,
however, that the aggregate amount of such repurchases shall not exceed $2.0
million in any calendar year;

     (5) the declaration and payments of dividends on Disqualified Stock issued
pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that, at the time of
payment of such dividend, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or

or warrants if such Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise price of such
options or warrants;

     (7) cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in connection
with the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Capital Stock of Borrower; provided, however, that
any such cash payment shall not be for the purpose of evading the limitation of this
Section 4.04 (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors);

     (8) in the event of a Change of Control, and if no Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other
acquisition or retirement of Junior Financing of Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, in each case, at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal
amount of such Junior Financing, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
provided, however, that prior to such payment, purchase, redemption,
defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, Borrower (or a third party to the
extent permitted by this Agreement) has prepaid the outstanding Term Loan in full in
cash pursuant to Section 2.10;

     (9) payments of

     (A) intercompany Indebtedness, the Incurrence of which was permitted
under Section 4.03(b)(2), or

     (B) the intercompany loan from Bostrom Ltd. to the Company in principal
amount of $10,861,723 and the intercompany loan from Commercial Vehicle

prior to the time of payment such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to
the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the
Term Loan;

     (10) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused

of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11; or

     (11) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition for value of Capital Stock
of Borrower or any direct or indirect parent of Borrower representing fractional
 shares of such Capital Stock in connection with a merger, consolidation,
amalgamation or other combination involving Borrower in an amount which, when taken
together with all Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (11) does not
exceed $1.0 million.

     Section 4.05 Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries.
Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause
or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of
any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock
to Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Indebtedness owed to Borrower, (b) make any loans
or advances to Borrower or (c) transfer any of its property or assets to Borrower, except:

consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit
support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related
transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a
Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by Borrower) and outstanding on such
date;

     (H) any encumbrance or restriction contained in any Indebtedness
Incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary in accordance with this Agreement to the
extent such encumbrance or restriction applies only to the assets of such
Foreign Subsidiary; and

     (2) with respect to clause (c) only,

(b) and (c) above imposed by any amendments or refinancings of the contracts,
instruments or obligations referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) above;
provided, however that such amendments or refinancings are, in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Borrower, no more restrictive with
respect to such dividend and other restrictions than those contained in the dividend
or other restrictions prior to such amendment or refinancing.

     Section 4.06 Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. Borrower shall not,
and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset
Disposition unless

     (1) Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time
of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value (including as to
the value of all non-cash consideration) of the shares and assets subject to such
Asset Disposition, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, if the
fair market value is equal to or exceeds $2.5 million, or by an Officer, if the fair
market value is less than $2.5 million;

     (2) at least 75% of the consideration thereof received by Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or cash equivalents;

 

 

     (3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset
Disposition is applied by Borrower (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be) to the extent and as set forth in Section 2.11 hereunder.

     For the purposes of this Section 4.06, the following are deemed to be cash or cash
equivalents:

     (i) the assumption or discharge of Indebtedness of Borrower (other than
obligations in respect of Disqualified Stock of Borrower) or any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than obligations in respect of Disqualified Stock or Preferred
Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor) and the release of Borrower or such Restricted
Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset
Disposition;

     (ii) securities received by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from the
transferee that are converted within 90 days by Borrower or such Restricted
Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

     (iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary in an Asset Disposition having an aggregate fair market value,
taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to
this clause (iii) (unless such Designated Non-cash Consideration has
been converted into cash, which shall be treated after such conversion as Net
Available Cash), not to exceed 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of
such Designated Non-cash Consideration.

     Section 4.07
Limitation on Affiliate Transactions
§ (a) Borrower shall not, and
shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction
(including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation
arrangements or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of
Borrower (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless

     (1) the terms thereof are no less favorable to Borrower or such Restricted
Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate
Transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate;

     (2) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $2.5 million,
the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of
the non-employee directors of Borrower disinterested with respect to such Affiliate
Transaction have determined in good faith that the criteria set forth in clause (1)
are satisfied and have approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a
resolution of the Board of Directors; and

     (3) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $7.5 million,
the Board of Directors shall also have received a written opinion from an
Independent Qualified Party to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair,
from a financial standpoint, to Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or is not
less favorable to Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than could reasonably

 

 

be
expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person who
was not an Affiliate.

     (b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not prohibit

     (1) any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) or other Restricted
Payment, in each case permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.04;

     (2) any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash,
securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment, severance or
compensation arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the
Board of Directors,

time;

     (4) the payment of reasonable fees and the reimbursement of ordinary course
expenses to directors of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries who are not
employees of Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries and any payments
pursuant to indemnification arrangements with directors and officers of
Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

     (5) any transaction with Borrower, a Restricted Subsidiary or joint venture or
similar entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because
Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls
such Restricted Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity;

     (6) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock)
of Borrower;

     (7) any agreement as in effect on the Reference Date and described in the
Confidential Offering Circular dated June 29, 2005 relating to the sale of the 8%
Senior Notes due 2013 or any renewals or extensions of any such agreement (so long
as such renewals or extensions of any such agreement, taken as a whole, are not less
favorable to Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries) and the transactions evidenced
thereby;

     (8) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of
goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement that are on terms no less favorable than

and acquisitions of Permitted Investments and other rights or assets in connection
with a Qualified Receivables Transaction.

Liens.

     Section 4.11 Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. Borrower shall not, and shall
not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to

amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to
Section 4.03 and (2) create a Lien on such Property securing such Attributable Debt pursuant to
Section 4.10,

          (b) the net proceeds received by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such
Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value of such Property (as

and by an Officer, if the fair market value is less than $2.5 million) and

          (c) Borrower applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 2.11.

     Section 4.12 Future Guarantors. Borrower shall cause each domestic Restricted
Subsidiary that Guarantees any Indebtedness of Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary to, and
each Foreign Subsidiary that enters into a Guarantee of any Senior Indebtedness (other than a
Foreign Subsidiary that Guarantees Senior Indebtedness Incurred by another Foreign Subsidiary) to,
in each case, at the same time, (i) execute and deliver to the Agent a joinder to this Agreement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit C pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will Guarantee
and secure the payment of the Term Loans on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in
Articles 8 and 12 of this Agreement and (ii) execute and deliver to the Agent the applicable
Security Documents pursuant to which its assets (of the same type as the assets of Borrower and the

secure the Term Loans and the Obligations and Subsidiary Guaranties in the manner specified in this
Agreement and the Security Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this covenant shall not apply
to any Receivables Subsidiary.

     Section 4.13 Compliance Certificate. Borrower shall deliver to Agent within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course
of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of Borrower they would normally have

such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action
Borrower is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

 

     Section 4.14 Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Capital Stock of Wholly Owned
Subsidiaries. Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,

Permitted Liens and any release of Collateral permitted under this Agreement and pursuant to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any action which action
or omission would or could reasonably be expected to have the result of materially impairing the
security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, except
with respect to actions permitted under this Agreement. Borrower shall not amend, modify or
supplement, or permit or consent to any amendment, modification or supplement of, the Security
Documents in any way that would be adverse to the Lenders in any material respect, except as set
forth in Article 11 or as permitted under Article 9 or under the Intercreditor Agreements.

     Section 4.16 After-Acquired Property. Subject to the provisions in Article 8 hereof
and the terms of the other Loan Documents, upon the acquisition by Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor of any After-Acquired Property, Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and
deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, security instruments, financing statements and certificates
as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in Agent a perfected security interest, subject only to
Permitted Liens, in such After-Acquired Property and to have such After-Acquired Property (but
subject to the limitations set forth in Article 8 of this Agreement and the terms of the other Loan
Documents) added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Agreement relating to the
Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Property to the same extent and with
the same force and effect.

     Section 4.17 Further Instruments and Acts. Promptly following reasonable request of
Agent, Borrower will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may
be reasonably necessary to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Agreement. Agent shall
have no duty, liability or obligation to make any request under the Section 4.17, absent the
direction of a Lender.

     Section 4.18 Mergers and Transfer Assets. (a) Borrower shall not consolidate with or
merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions,

 

 

directly or indirectly, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, provided,
however, that this Section 4.18 will not be applicable to (A) a Restricted Subsidiary
consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets to
Borrower (so long as no Capital Stock of Borrower is distributed to any Person) or
(B) Borrower merging with an Affiliate of Borrower solely for the purpose and with the sole
effect of reincorporating Borrower in another jurisdiction.

     For purposes of this Section 4.18, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of
Borrower, which properties and assets, if held by Borrower instead of such Subsidiaries, would
constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of Borrower on a consolidated
basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets
of Borrower.

          (b) Borrower shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or
into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or series of transactions, all or
substantially all of its assets to any Person (other than Borrower or another Subsidiary Guarantor)
unless:

     (1) except in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (A) that has been disposed of
in its entirety to another Person (other than to Borrower or an Affiliate of
Borrower), whether through a merger, consolidation or sale of Capital Stock or
assets or (B) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion of its
Capital Stock, ceases to be a Subsidiary, in both cases, if in connection therewith
Borrower provides an Officers’ Certificate to Agent to the effect that will comply
with its obligations under Section 4.06 in respect of such disposition, the
resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not such Subsidiary) shall be a Person
organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such
Subsidiary was organized or under the laws of the United States of America, or any
State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such Person shall expressly assume,
by a Guaranty Agreement, all the obligations of such Subsidiary, if any, under its
Subsidiary Guaranty; and

     (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or transactions on a
pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation
of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person as a result of such transaction as
having been issued by such Person at the time of such transaction), no Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.

     Section 4.19 Amendment to Other Debt Documents. Borrower shall not, and shall not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary amend, supplement or otherwise modify any document, instrument or
agreement relating to any Junior Financing, if such modification (a) increases the principal
balance of such Indebtedness (other than as a result of capitalization of fees, expenses, premiums
and interest), (b) increases any required payment of principal or interest (other than as a result
of capitalization of fees, expenses, premiums and interest), (c) accelerates the scheduled date on
which any installment of principal or any interest is due, or adds any additional redemption, put
or prepayment provisions, (d) shortens the final maturity date or otherwise

 

 

accelerates
amortization, (e) increases the interest rate, (f) modifies any covenant in a manner or adds any
representation, covenant or default that is more onerous or restrictive in any material respect
(when taken as a whole) for any Obligor, or that is otherwise
materially adverse to any Obligor or Lenders, (g) results in the Obligations not being fully
benefited by the payment subordination or lien subordination provisions thereof; or (h) results in
the Obligations hereunder not constituting indebtedness permitted under the respective document,
instrument or agreement relating to such Indebtedness.

     Section 4.20 Post Closing CovenantSection 4.21 . Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, within the periods set forth on Schedule 4.20 (or such longer period as
the Requisite Lenders may determine), take the actions described on Schedule 4.20.

     (13) a Change of Control occurs.

     The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of
Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body.

     A Default under clauses (4) or (5) is not an Event of Default until the Agent (at the
direction of Requisite Lenders) or the Requisite Lenders (with a copy to Agent) notify Borrower of
the Default and Borrower does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such
notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice
is a “Notice of Default”.

     Borrower shall deliver to Agent, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice
in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (6), (7), (11) or (12)
and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default
under clause (4), (5) or (10), its status and what action Borrower is taking or proposes to take
with respect thereto.

     Section 6.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(8) or (9) with respect to Borrower) occurs and is continuing, Agent shall
(in the direction of the
Requisite Lenders) and the Requisite Lenders may, by notice to Borrower, declare the principal
of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the
Term Loans and the other Obligations to be due and
payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, interest and other Obligations shall be due and
payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(8) or (9) with respect to
Borrower occurs, the principal of and interest on all the

 

 

Term Loan and the other Obligations shall
ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
part of Agent or any Lender.

     Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Agent
(at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) may exercise any other rights or remedies afforded
under any agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise, including the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the UCC. Such rights and remedies include the rights to (i) take possession of any
Collateral; (ii) require any Obligor to assemble Collateral, at such Obligor’s expense, and make it
available to Agent at a place designated by Agent; (iii) subject to the terms of any lease
agreement or Lease Waiver, as applicable, enter any premises where Collateral is located and store
Collateral on such premises until sold (and if the premises are owned or leased by any Obligor,
such Obligor agree not to charge for such storage); and (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral in its then condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at
public or private sale, with such notice as may be required by Applicable Law, in lots or in bulk,
at such locations, all as Agent (at the direction of Requisite Lenders), in its discretion, deems
advisable. Each Obligor agrees that 10 days notice of any proposed sale or other disposition of
Collateral by Agent shall be reasonable. Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any
Obligor’s premises, without charge, and such sales may be adjourned from time to time in accordance
with Applicable Law. Agent shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Agent may purchase any Collateral at
public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price,
may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.

     Section 6.04 Licenses. For the purpose of enabling Agent, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise the rights and remedies under Section
6.03 at such time as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for
no other purpose, each Obligor hereby grants to Agent a non-exclusive license (subject to the
rights of third parties and to the extent not prohibited in the case of licensed in Intellectual
Property and (i) in the case of trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection
in favor of any Obligor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such trademarks, and (ii) in the case
of trade secrets, to an obligation of Agent to take steps reasonable under the circumstances to
keep trade secrets confidential to avoid the risk of invalidation of such trade secrets) to use,
license or sub-license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person) any or all
Intellectual Property of each Obligor, computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures,
customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other
Property, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or
otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral. Each Obligor’s rights
and interests under Intellectual Property shall inure to Agent’s benefit.

     Section 6.05 Set Off. At any time during an Event of Default, Agent, Lenders, and any
of their Affiliates are authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in
whatever currency)(other than tax, payroll, trust or employee benefit accounts) at any time held
and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Agent, such Lender or such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of an Obligor against any Obligations, irrespective
of whether or not Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured
or are

 

 

owed to a branch or office of Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate different from the branch
or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of Agent, each Lender
and each such Affiliate under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) that such Person may have.

     Section 6.06 Remedies Cumulative.

          (a) Cumulative Rights. All agreements, warranties, guaranties, indemnities and other
undertakings of each Obligor under the Loan Documents are cumulative and not in derogation of each
other. The rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders are cumulative, may be exercised at any time
and from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and are not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies available by agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise. All such rights and remedies
shall continue in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations.(b) Waivers.
No waiver or course of dealing shall be established by (i) the failure or delay of Agent or any
Lender to require strict performance by any Obligor with any terms of the Loan Documents, or to
exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise; (ii) the making of any
Term Loan during a Default, Event of Default or other failure by the Obligors to satisfy any
conditions precedent; or (iii) acceptance by Agent or any Lender of any payment or performance by
an Obligor under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein.

ARTICLE 7

AGENT

     Section 7.01 Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.

          (a) Appointment and AuthorityEach Lender irrevocably appoints and designates Credit
Suisse as Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Agent is
a party, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf and in
Agent’s designated capacity under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and to exercise such powers and perform such duties, as are expressly designated to Agent by the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Agent may, and each Lender authorizes Agent to, enter into all
Loan Documents to which Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Loan Documents, for
Agent’s benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by
Agent or Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the
exercise by Agent or Requisite Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with
all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all
Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive
authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all
payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as
Agent each Loan Document to which it is a party, including any intercreditor or subordination
agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Obligor or other Person; (c) act as
collateral agent for the Lender Group for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the
Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal
with Collateral; and (e) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies
with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties
of Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have a fiduciary
relationship with

 

 

any Lender, Participant, Obligor or any other Person by reason of any Loan
Document or any transaction relating thereto.

          (b) Duties. Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Agent is a party or
beneficiary, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist on the part of the Agent. The
conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a duty on Agent’s part to exercise such right,
unless instructed to do so by Requisite Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

          (c) Agent Professionals. Agent may perform its duties under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to which Agent is a party or beneficiary by or through receivers, agents,
attorneys-in-fact and employees. Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall
be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in reliance upon any
advice given by an Agent Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any receivers, agents, attorneys-in-fact, employees or Agent Professionals selected
by it with reasonable care.

          (d) Instructions of Requisite Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Agent
under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party,
unless required by Applicable Law. Agent may (but shall not be required to, except where expressly
required hereunder) request instructions from Requisite Lenders with respect to any act (including
the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its
satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 7.06 against all
Claims that could be incurred by Agent in connection with any act (or failure to act). Agent shall
be entitled to refrain
from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and Agent shall not incur
liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Requisite Lenders shall be
binding upon all Lenders, and no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as
a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Requisite
Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of all Lenders shall be
required in the circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 11.01(a). In no
event shall Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable
Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

     Section 7.02 Agreements Regarding Collateral and Field Examination Reports.

          (a) Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. Lenders authorize Agent to release any Lien
with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (b) that is the subject of
an Asset Disposition which Borrower certifies in writing to Agent is a Permitted Asset Disposition
or a Lien which Borrower certifies is a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Agent’s Liens (and
Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry); (c) as required to
effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of
Agent pursuant to the Security Documents; or (d) with the written consent of the Requisite Lenders.
Lenders hereby authorize Agent to execute and deliver any instruments, documents and agreements
necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Collateral pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the

 

 

further consent or joinder of any Lender.
In addition to the foregoing, if any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of by any Obligor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Collateral
shall be automatically released from the Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents
and the Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Obligor, shall execute and deliver to such
Obligor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the
Liens created hereby on such Collateral (including such documents as such Obligor shall reasonably
request to evidence such release). Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lenders to
assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by any Obligor, or is cared for, protected, insured
or encumbered, nor to assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced,
or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any
Collateral.

          (b) Possession of Collateral. Agent and Lenders appoint each Lender as agent (for the
benefit of Lender Group) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled
by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If any Lender
obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon
Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with
Agent’s instructions.

          (c) Reports. Agent shall promptly forward to each Lender, when complete, copies of any field audit,
examination or appraisal report prepared for Agent with respect to any Obligor or Collateral
(“Report”). Each Lender agrees (a) that Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the
accuracy or completeness of any Report, shall not be liable for any information contained in or
omitted from any Report and shall not have any duty, liability or obligation to request the
preparation of a Report absent the direction of the Requisite Lenders; (b) that the Reports are not
intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any audit or
examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will
rely significantly upon Borrower’s books and records as well as upon representations of Borrower’s
officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s
internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to
such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than
administration of the Term Loans and other Obligations. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Agent and any Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result
of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or
indirect result of Agent furnishing a Report to such Lender.

     Section 7.03 Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
certification, statement, notice or other communication, document or conversation (including those
by telephone, telex, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, teletype message or e-mail) believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the
advice and statements of Agent Professionals (including, without limitation, counsel to Obligors).
Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document. Agent shall have no liability for
failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents unless it

 

 

shall first receive such advice, direction, instruction or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders or
the Lenders as is required hereunder; and Agent has the right to seek instructions from the
Requisite Lenders before acting or electing not to act under this Agreement and/or the other Loan
Documents. Agent shall in all cases have no liability in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a direction or instruction of
the Requisite Lenders, and such direction or instruction and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. This provision shall apply mutatis
mutandis to Agent-Related Persons as if they were the Agent referred to herein.

     Section 7.04 Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
Default or Event of Default unless Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower
specifying the occurrence and nature thereof and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.
If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify Agent
and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in
any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Requisite Lenders, it will not take any
Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it
might
otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other
similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may
take action to preserve or enforce its rights against an Obligor where a deadline or limitation
period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of Obligations held by such
Lender, including the filing of proofs of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding. Agent shall take such
action with respect to any Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Requisite
Lenders.

     Section 7.05 Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of
any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation,
determined on a Pro Rata basis, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other
Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing
Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis, as applicable. If any of such
payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. No
Lender shall set off against any Dominion Account without the prior consent of Agent.

     Section 7.06 Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND
HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF OBLIGORS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, FROM AND
AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS,
SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF COUNSEL FOR THE AGENT AND AGENT-RELATED PERSONS,
INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY INVESTIGATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL PROCEEDING COMMENCED OR
THREATENED, WHETHER OR NOT ANY AGENT INDEMNITEE SHALL BE DESIGNATED A PARTY THERETO, INCLUDING
THOSE INCURRED IN ANY BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDING) THAT MAY AT ANY TIME (INCLUDING FOLLOWING

 

 

FULL PAYMENT
OF THE OBLIGATIONS) BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY AGENT INDEMNITEE IN ANY WAY
AS A RESULT OF, RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY
DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED BY OR REFERRED TO HEREIN OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR ANY ACTION TAKE OR OMITTED BY AGENT INDEMNITEE IN CONNECTION WITH
THE FOREGOING. In Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any such Claims made against an Agent
Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of
Collateral or principal or principal repayment of the Term Loans prior to making any distribution
of such proceeds to Lenders. If Agent is sued by any receiver, bankruptcy trustee,
debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any
monies paid by Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest,
costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly
reimbursed to Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata Share. Without limiting the
generality of the
foregoing, if the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States of America or
other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or
for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly
executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered
the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such
Lender shall indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or
otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
the amounts payable to Agent under this Section 7.06, together with all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees. No provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
shall require Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers unless Agent shall have received adequate indemnity in Agent’s opinion against
potential costs and liabilities incurred by Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in the event Agent is
entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to
acquire control or possession of the Collateral, Agent shall not be required to commence any such
action or exercise any such remedy if Agent has determined that Agent may incur personal liability
as the result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral, of any hazardous
substances unless Agent has received security or indemnity from the Lenders in an amount and in a
form all satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion, protecting Agent from all such liability.
Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described above if it no longer
reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Obligors or the Lenders to be
sufficient. The obligation of each Lender in this Section 7.06 shall survive the Full Payment of
the Term Loans and other Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or
removal of Agent. All amounts due under this Section shall be deemed part of the Obligations and
shall be secured by the Collateral.

     Section 7.07 Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall not be liable to
Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or any Agent-Related Persons under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or instrument referred to or provided for
herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final,
nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such

 

 

Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent does not assume any responsibility for
any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor or Lender of any obligations under
the Loan Documents. Agent does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation
or guarantee with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or Obligor. No Agent
Indemnitee shall be responsible to Lenders or any other Person for any recitals, statements,
information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Document or in any certificate
report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or
in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; the execution, validity,
genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness,
enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the
validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien
therein; the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any Obligations; the assets,
liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status
of any
Obligor or Account Debtor; or for any failure of any Obligor to perform its obligations under
the Loan Documents. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Lender or any other
Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the
observance or performance by any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of
any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any Agent-Related
Person shall be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding
under the Loan Documents, including without limitation to file any proof of claim, without the
express written direction of the Requisite Lenders. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any
Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, the Loan Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records
of any Obligor. Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Lenders with
respect to the administration of the Loan Documents. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in
no event shall Agent be liable to any Person, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, for
special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including but not limited to lost profits), even if Agent has been advised of the likelihood of
such loss or damage. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrower and the
Subsidiary Guarantors agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Agent
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or
incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits, but
excluding direct losses) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions, any Term Loan or the use of the
proceeds thereof.

     Section 7.08 Successor Agent and Co-Agents.

          (a) Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written
notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, Requisite Lenders shall have
the right to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or
(b) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or
district thereof, has a combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000 and in each case
(provided no Event of Default exists) is reasonably acceptable to Borrower. If no successor Agent
has been appointed by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given
by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall

 

 

thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document
until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent which is reasonably
acceptable to Borrower. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as Agent
hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations of the retiring Agent without further act but the retiring Agent
shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Article 7 shall continue in effect
for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Agent. Any
successor to Credit Suisse by merger or acquisition of stock or acquisition of the corporate trust
business shall
continue to be Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless
such successor resigns as provided above.

          (b) Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no
violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to
transact business in any jurisdiction. If Agent is limited in the exercise of any rights or
remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, Requisite Lenders may appoint an
additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent;
provided such collateral agent or co-collateral agent is reasonably acceptable to Borrower (unless
an Event of Default exists). If Requisite Lenders so appoint a collateral agent or co-collateral
agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to Agent under the Loan Documents shall also
be vested in such separate agent. Every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof
by such agent shall run to and be enforceable by it as well as Agent. Requisite Lenders shall
execute and deliver such documents as may be appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such
agent. If any collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Agent until appointment of a new
agent.

     Section 7.09 Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that
it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such
documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of
each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund the Term Loans. Each
Lender has made such inquiries concerning the Loan Documents, the Collateral and each Obligor as
such Lender feels necessary. Each Lender further expressly acknowledges and agrees that the other
Lenders, Agent and Agent-Related Persons have made no representations or warranties concerning any
Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan
Documents or Obligations and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, shall be deemed to constitute
any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender will, independently and without
reliance upon the other Lenders or Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and
information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit
decisions in making the Term Loans, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan
Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by any Lender (to
the extent such Lender is entitled to such information under the express terms of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document), Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other
information concerning the affairs,

 

 

financial condition, business, operations, prospects,
creditworthiness or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into
possession of Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates.

     Section 7.10 Remittance of Payments and Collections.

          (a) Failure to Pay. If any Lender fails to pay any amount when due by it to Agent
pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the
rate determined by Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no
event shall Borrower be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Lender to Agent.

          (b) Recovery of Payments. If Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the expectation
that a related payment will be received by Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not
received, then Agent may recover such amount from each Lender that received it. If Agent
determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to an
Obligor or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding
any other term of any Loan Document, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any
Lender. If any amounts received and applied by Agent to any Obligations are later required to be
returned by Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to Agent, such Lender’s Pro
Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

     Section 7.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Article 7 is an agreement solely
among Lenders and Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. This Section 7 does
not confer any rights or benefits upon Borrower or any other Person other than as set forth in
Sections 7.03, 7.06 and 7.08. As between Borrower and Agent, any action that Agent may take under
any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been
authorized and directed by Lenders.

     Section 7.12 Standard of Care of Agent, etc.Section 7.13

          (a) Agent shall not be required to take any discretionary actions hereunder or under any other
Loan Documents. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document authorizing Agent to
take any action shall not obligate Agent to take such action. Agent shall not be under any
obligation or duty to perform any act which, in Agent’s sole judgment, could involve it in expense
or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect thereof, or to advance any of its own
monies, unless the Requisite Lenders or Obligor, as the case may be, shall have offered to Agent
reasonable security or indemnity against such expense, liability, suit or advance satisfactory to
the Agent.

          (b) Agent shall not have any duty, obligation or liability with respect to any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
bond, debenture or other paper or document delivered by Obligors under the Loan Documents, other
than to deliver copies of the same to Lenders (to the extent the Lenders are entitled to such
copies under the express terms of this Agreement or an other Loan Document). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have no duty, obligation or liability with respect to any
notice of default delivered to Agent (either under the Loan Documents or under any other agreement
or document) other than to deliver a copy of the same to Lenders.

 

 

          (c) Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document authorizing the Agent to take
any action shall not obligate Agent to take such action.

     Section 7.14 Actions by the Agent.Section 7.15

          (a) Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in reliance on any
written direction by the Requisite Lenders (which written direction may be in the form of an
e-mail) or an Officers’ Certificate from any Obligor. Whenever in the administration of any Loan
Document Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking or suffering or omitting to take any act hereunder or thereunder, such matter (unless other
evidence in respect thereof be herein or therein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction) on the part of Agent or Agent-Related Persons, be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by any written direction from the Requisite Lenders or an
Officers’ Certificate from an Obligor delivered to Agent, and such written direction or
certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Agent or
Agent-Related Persons, shall be full authorization to Agent for any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of any Loan Document.

          (b) In each case that Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Loan Document to
take any action (an “Agent Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to
give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise
to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Agent may seek direction from the Requisite
Lenders. Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Agent Action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in accordance with the direction from the Requisite Lenders. If Agent shall request
direction from the Requisite Lenders with respect to any Agent Action, Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from such Agent Action unless and until such Agent shall have received direction from the
Requisite Lenders, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so
refraining.

ARTICLE 8

     Section 8.01 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance
of all Obligations, each Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor hereby grants to Agent for the benefit
of the Lender Group, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all Property of the Borrower
or Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, including all of the following Property, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located:

          (a) all Accounts;

          (b) all Chattel Paper, including electronic chattel paper;

          (c) all Commercial Tort Claims listed on Schedule 8.01 (as amended from time to time);

Lender, or a bailee or Affiliate of Agent or a Lender;

          (m) all accessions to, substitutions for, and all replacements, products, and cash and
non-cash proceeds of the foregoing, including proceeds of and unearned premiums with respect
to insurance policies, and claims against any Person for loss, damage or destruction of any
Collateral; and

          (n) all books and records (including customer lists, files, correspondence, tapes,
computer programs, print-outs and computer records) pertaining to the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any of the following Property be subject to the
grant of security pursuant to this Section 8.01 or otherwise constitute Collateral: (i) all motor
vehicles and other assets the perfection of a security interest in which is excluded from the UCC
in the relevant jurisdiction; (ii) any General Intangible or other rights arising under contracts,
Instruments, licenses, license agreements (including Licenses) or other documents, to the extent
(and only to the extent) that the grant of a security interest would (x) constitute a violation of
a restriction in favor of a third party on such grant, unless and until any required consents shall
have been obtained, (y) give any other party the right to terminate its obligations thereunder, or
(z) violate any law, provided, however, that (1) any portion of any such General
Intangible or other right shall cease to be excluded pursuant to this clause (ii) at the time and
to the extent that the grant of a security interest therein does not result in any of the
consequences specified above and (2) the limitation set forth in this clause (ii) above shall not
affect, limit, restrict or impair the grant by an Obligor of a security interest pursuant to this
Agreement in any such General Intangible or other right, to the extent that an otherwise applicable

applications filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office to register

 

 

trademarks or
service marks on the basis of any Obligor’s “intent to use” such trademarks or service marks unless
and until the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” has been filed and
accepted, whereupon such applications shall be automatically subject to the Lien granted herein and
deemed included in the Collateral; (v) any property or assets to the extent that such grant of a
security interest is prohibited by any Applicable Law, or requires a consent not obtained of any
Governmental Authority pursuant to such Applicable Law; (vi) (A) more than 65% of the Capital Stock

Subsidiary; (vii) all tax, payroll, employee benefit, fiduciary and trust accounts; or (viii)
accounts receivable and any assets related thereto owned by a Receivables Subsidiary or which the

constituting “Excluded Collateral” are expressly excluded from each term used in the definition of
Collateral (and any component definition thereof).

     Section 8.02 Lien on Deposit Accounts; Cash Collateral.

          (a) Domestic Deposit Accounts. To further secure the prompt payment and performance
of all Obligations, each Obligor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Lender Group, a
continuing security interest in and Lien upon all amounts credited to any Deposit Account of each
Obligor, including any sums in any blocked or lockbox accounts or in any accounts into which such
sums are swept.

     Section 8.03 Real Estate Collateral.

          (a) Lien on Real Estate. The Obligations shall also be secured by Mortgages upon all
owned Real Estate owned by each Obligor, as listed on Schedule 5.01 hereto. The Mortgages shall be
duly recorded, at Borrower’ expense, in each office where such recording is required to constitute
a fully perfected Lien on the Real Estate covered thereby. If any Obligor acquires any owned Real
Estate hereafter, Borrower shall, promptly notify Agent of such acquisition and shall, within 45
days upon Agent’s request, execute, deliver and record a Mortgage sufficient to create a second
priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in favor of Agent on such Real Estate, and shall
promptly deliver all Related Real Estate Documents.

          (b) Collateral Assignment of Leases. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, each Obligor
hereby grants a security interest and collaterally assigns to Agent, for the benefit of Lender
Group, all of such Obligor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all now or hereafter
existing leases of real Property to which such Obligor is a party, whether as lessor or lessee, and
all extensions, renewals, modifications and proceeds thereof; provided, however, the
foregoing provision shall exclude any Real Estate lease (i) in which such Obligor is expressly
prohibited from assigning or transferring its right, title and interest to such Real Estate lease
or (ii) in which such collateral assignment or grant of security interest would cause a breach or
default thereunder, a loss of rights by such Obligor therein or thereunder or an increase in the
obligations of such Obligor (other than an obligation to provide

 

 

notice or other ministerial acts);
provided, further that in the event consent is obtained for such assignment and/or
transfer, upon the granting of the consent, the Real Estate lease so excluded from this collateral
assignment shall, by virtue of this proviso (without any act or delivery by any Person), be then
subject to the collateral assignment set forth in this Section 8.03(b).

     Section 8.04 Other Collateral.

          (a) Commercial Tort Claims. Borrower shall promptly notify Agent in writing if any
Obligor obtains knowledge that it holds a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Default
or Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $1,000,000) and shall promptly
take such actions as Agent requests (at the discretion of the Requisite Lenders) to confer upon
Agent (for the benefit of Lender Group) a duly perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) upon
such claim.

          (b) Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Borrower shall promptly notify Agent in
writing if, after the Closing Date, any Obligor obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting
of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit
Rights, and shall promptly take such actions as Agent requests (at the direction of the Requisite
Lenders) to effect Agent’s duly perfected, second priority (subject to Permitted Liens) Lien upon
such Collateral (which is not yet subject to a Lien in favor of Agent), including obtaining any
appropriate possession, control agreement or Lien Waiver (or by providing such possession to the
First Priority Representative, on behalf of Agent, as applicable). Borrower shall provide Agent,
on a quarterly basis, notification of any Intellectual Property or rights therein obtained since
the last day of the previous Fiscal Quarter, including the owner of such Intellectual Property and
a detailed description thereof. If any Collateral (other than (i) Property in transit among
locations of Obligors, (ii) Inventory out for processing, and (iii) Property out for repair or
refurbishment or Property in the possession of employees in the ordinary course of business, in
each case with respect to this clause (iii), valued at less then $500,000), is in the possession of
a third party, at Agent’s request (at the direction of the Requisite Lenders), Borrower shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the
Collateral for the benefit of Agent.

     Section 8.05 No Assumption of Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is
given as security only and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any
obligation or liability of any Obligor relating to any Collateral.

     Section 8.06 Further Assurances. Promptly following written request, each Obligor
shall deliver such instruments, collateral assignments, or other documents or agreements, and shall
take such actions, as Agent requests (at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) to evidence or
perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement.
Each Obligor authorizes Agent to file any financing statement that indicates the Collateral as “all
assets” or “all personal property” of each Obligor, or words to similar effect.

     Section 8.07 Foreign Subsidiary Stock. The Collateral shall include only 65% of the
Voting Stock of any First Tier Foreign Subsidiary and shall not include any Capital Stock of any
Foreign Subsidiary that is not a First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary.

 

 

ARTICLE 9

COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

     Section 9.01 Administration of Accounts.

          (a) Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists, Agent
shall have the right at any time, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any Obligor, to
verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of Obligors by mail,
telephone or otherwise. Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall cooperate fully with Agent in
an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

          (b) Maintenance of Dominion Account. Each Obligor shall maintain Dominion Accounts
pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to Agent (or the First Priority
Representative, as applicable). Each Obligor shall obtain an agreement (in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Agent) from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank,
establishing Agent’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 or
subordinating offset rights of such servicer or bank, except for customary administrative charges;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date (as
defined in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement), the agreements from each lockbox servicer and
Dominion Account bank, establishing the Collateral Agent’s control over and Lien in the lockbox or
Dominion
Account shall be amended and restated such that the lockboxes and Dominion Accounts are no
longer subject to a complete blockage and the Agent shall not sweep any proceeds in such lockbox or
Dominion Account unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Obligors
may maintain a balance of no more than $500,000 at any time in its master disbursement account.
Agent and Lenders assume no responsibility to any Obligor 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.

          (c) Proceeds of Collateral. The Obligors 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). If Borrower or
Subsidiary receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold same in
trust for Agent and promptly (not later than the next Business Day) deposit same into a Dominion
Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Obligors shall be entitled
to maintain amounts of cash and Temporary Cash Investments in petty cash (in an aggregate amount
for all such accounts not to exceed $500,000), trust, tax, employee benefit and payroll accounts
which are not Dominion Accounts.

     Section 9.02 Administration of Inventory.

          (a) Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Obligor shall keep accurate and complete
records of its Inventory, including costs and daily withdrawals and additions, and shall submit to
Agent inventory and reconciliation reports in form satisfactory to Agent, on such periodic basis as
Agent may request (in each case, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders). Each Obligor shall
conduct a physical inventory in time and manner consistent with such

 

 

Obligor’s past practices (and
on a more frequent basis if requested by Agent when an Event of Default exists) and periodic cycle
counts consistent with historical practices, and shall provide to Agent a report based on each such
inventory and count promptly upon completion thereof, together with such supporting information as
Agent may request. Agent may participate in and observe each physical count, provided, that so
long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Agent shall be reimbursed for its reasonable
charges, costs and expenses in connection with its participation in and observance of a physical
count only once per calendar year. During an Event of Default, all reasonable charges, costs and
expenses in connection with Agent and Lenders’ participations in and observances of physical counts
shall be reimbursed by Obligors without regard to the limits in the immediately preceding sentence.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02(a), the Obligors’
obligations under this paragraph to prepare and deliver any reports, schedules or supporting
information may be satisfied by the prompt delivery by Borrower to Agent of the comparable
schedules delivered to the First Priority Representative, as applicable, pursuant to the Other
Credit Agreement, as applicable.

          (b) Acquisition, Sale and Maintenance. Each Obligor shall take all steps to assure that all Inventory is produced in accordance
with Applicable Law, including the FLSA, in each case except to the extent failure to comply with
any Applicable Law could not result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Obligor shall sell any
Inventory on consignment or approval or any other basis under which the customer may return or
require the Borrower to repurchase such Inventory, except in the ordinary course of business. Each
Obligor shall use, store and maintain all Inventory with reasonable care and caution, in accordance
with applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity in all material respects with all
Applicable Law and shall make current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for
in leases) at all location where any material portion of the Collateral is located.

     Section 9.03 Administration of Equipment.

          (a) Records and Schedules of Equipment. Each Obligor shall keep accurate and complete
records of its Equipment, including kind, quantity, cost, acquisitions and dispositions thereof,
and shall submit to Agent, on such periodic basis as Agent may request (at the direction of the
Requisite Lenders), a current schedule thereof, in form and containing such detail as is
satisfactory to Agent (at the direction of the Requisite Lenders). Promptly upon request of Agent
(at the direction of the Requisite Lenders), each Obligor shall deliver to Agent evidence of their
ownership or interests in any Equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 9.03(a), the Grantors’ obligations under this paragraph to prepare and deliver any
reports, schedules or supporting information may be satisfied by the prompt delivery by Borrower to
Agent of the comparable schedules delivered to the First Priority Representative, as applicable,
pursuant to the Other Credit Agreement.

          (b) Condition of Equipment. The Equipment is in satisfactory 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, tear, casualty and
condemnation excepted. No Obligor shall permit any Equipment to become affixed to real Property
unless any landlord or mortgagee delivers a Lien Waiver.Section 9.04 Administration of Deposit
Accounts. Schedule 9.04 sets forth all Deposit Accounts maintained by the Obligors, including
all Dominion Accounts as of the Closing Date. Subject to Section 9.01(b), each

 

 

Obligor shall take
all actions necessary to establish Agent’s control of each such Deposit Account (other than an
account exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes, taxes, or employee benefits, containing not
more that $10,000 at any time (subject to the limitations in Section 9.01(c)). Each Obligor shall
be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than
Agent, First-Priority Collateral Agent and Third-Priority Collateral Agent) to have control over a
Deposit Account or any Property deposited therein. Each Obligor shall promptly notify Agent of any
opening or closing of a Deposit Account and, with the consent of Agent, will amend Schedule 9.04 to
reflect same.

     Section 9.05 General Provisions.

          (a) Location of Collateral. All tangible items of Collateral, other than Property (i)
in transit, (ii) Inventory out for processing, or (iii) out for repair, refurbishment, processing,
or in the possession of employees in the ordinary course of business and in each case with respect
to this clause (iii) valued at less than $500,000, shall at all times other than in the ordinary
course of business be kept by each Obligor at the business locations set forth in Schedule 9.05(a)
(as amended from time to time) except that the Obligors may (a) make sales or other dispositions of
Collateral in accordance with Section 4.06; and (b) (i) move Collateral to any location in the
United States, and (ii) move Collateral located in the United Kingdom or member state of the
European Union to another location in the United Kingdom, member state of the European Union or the
United States, in each case upon five Business Days prior written notice to Agent.

     Section 9.06 Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

          (a) Each Obligor shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral, covering casualty,
hazard, 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 Agent) satisfactory to
Agent. Lenders agree that the insurance maintained by each Obligor on the Closing Date satisfies
this Section 9.06. All proceeds under each policy shall be payable to Agent. From time to time
upon request, Borrower shall promptly following request, deliver to Agent the certified copies of
its insurance policies and updated flood plain searches. Unless Agent shall agree otherwise, each
policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Agent as loss payee; (ii) to the extent
available requiring 30 days prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the
policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) to the extent available specifying that the interest of
Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Obligor 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 Obligor fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Agent may, at its option
(at the direction of the Requisite Lenders), but shall not be required to, procure the insurance
and charge Borrower or such Obligor therefor. Each Obligor agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly as
rendered, copies of all reports made to insurance companies. While no Event of Default exists,
Borrower may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the Net Available Cash is
delivered to Agent to the extent and as required by Section 2.11. If an Event of Default exists,
only Agent 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
or business interruption insurance) and any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral that
constitute Net Available Cash shall be paid to Agent to the extent and required by Section 2.11.

          (c) 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 Agent to any Person to realize upon any
Collateral, shall be borne and paid by Borrower. Agent 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 Agent’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 Borrower’s sole risk.

          (d) Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Obligor shall at all times defend its title
to Collateral and Agent’s Liens therein against all Persons, claims and demands whatsoever, except
Permitted Liens and other claims or demands permitted to exist hereunder.

     Section 9.07 Power of Attorney. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as its true and lawful attorney (and
agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this Section. Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without
notice and in either its or such Obligor’s name, but at the cost and expense of such Obligor

     (a) Endorse an Obligor’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral
(including proceeds of insurance) that come into Agent’s possession or control in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents; and

     (b) During an Event of Default, (i) notify any Account Debtors of the assignment of
their Accounts, demand and enforce payment of Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise,
and generally exercise any rights and remedies with respect to Accounts; (ii) settle,
adjust, modify, compromise, discharge or release any Accounts or other Collateral, or any
legal proceedings brought to collect Accounts or Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any
Accounts and other Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such times as Agent
selects; (iv) collect, liquidate and receive balances in Deposit Accounts or investment
accounts, and take control, in any manner, of proceeds of Collateral; (v) prepare, file and
sign an Obligor’s name to a proof of claim or other document in a bankruptcy of an Account
Debtor, or to any notice, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document; (vi)
receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to an Obligor, and notify postal authorities to
deliver any such mail to an address designated by Agent; (vii) endorse any Chattel Paper,
Document, Instrument, bill of lading, or other document or agreement relating to any
Accounts, Inventory or other Collateral; (viii) use an Obligor’s stationery and sign its
name to verifications of Accounts and notices to Account Debtors; (ix) to the extent an
Obligor has rights sufficient to allow Agent to do so, use information contained in any data
processing, electronic or information systems relating to Collateral; (x) make and adjust
claims under insurance policies; (xi) take any action as may be necessary or appropriate to
obtain

 

 

payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or other instrument for which
a
Borrower is a beneficiary; and (xii) take all other actions as Agent selects to fulfill
any Obligor’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

     Section 9.08 Intercreditor Agreements. 

          (a) All rights and remedies of Agent hereunder, the Liens, the security interests and all
obligations of the Obligors hereunder are subject in all respects to the terms, provisions,
conditions and limitations of the Intercreditor Agreements and in the event of any conflict between
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and this Agreement, the terms of the applicable
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

          (b) So long as any of the Intercreditor Agreements is in full force and effect, the First
Priority Obligations Payment Date (as defined in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) has not
occurred, and the Obligors are in compliance with the applicable provisions thereof with respect to
such Collateral, the delivery of any Collateral or any certificates, titles, Instruments, Chattel
Paper or Documents evidencing or in connection with such Collateral to the First Lien Collateral
Agent under and in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreements and the First Priority Security
Documents or Second Priority Security Documents (each as defined in the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement) shall constitute compliance by the Obligors with the provisions of this Agreement or
other Security Documents which require delivery or possession of certain types of Collateral to
Agent.

ARTICLE 10

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

     Section 10.01 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of Borrower, Subsidiary Guarantors, Agent, Lenders, and their respective successors
and assigns, except that (a) neither Borrower nor any other Obligor shall have the right to assign
its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender
must be made in compliance with Section 10.03. Agent may treat the Person which made any Term Loan
as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with
Section 10.03. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

     Section 10.02 Participations.

          (a) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to a financial institution
(“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any
Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such
Lender’s obligations under the Loan
Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Term
Loans for all purposes, all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had
not sold such participating interests, and Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection

 

 

with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely
responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Agent and
the other Lenders or Obligors shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant.
A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 2.13 unless Borrower agree otherwise in writing.

          (b) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the
consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents other
than that which (i) forgives principal (other than mandatory prepayments), interest or fees (other
than wavier of default interest), (ii) reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with
respect to any Term Loan in which such Participant has an interest (other than wavier of default
interest), (iii) postpones the Maturity Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment
of principal, interest or fees on such Term Loan, or (iv) releases any Borrower, Subsidiary
Guarantor or substantial portion of the Collateral (except as otherwise permitted herein).(c)
Benefit of Set-Off. The Obligors agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off
in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly
to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any
participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to
share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 7.05 as if
such Participant were a Lender.

     Section 10.03 Assignments.

          (a) Permitted Assignments. A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its
rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant,
and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in an integral multiple of $500,000 and in a
minimum principal amount of $500,000; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a
Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Term Loans retained by the transferor
Lender is at least $1,000,000; and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and
deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in
the form of Exhibit B. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any
rights under the Loan Documents to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as
collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, or (ii) counterparties to swap agreements relating to any
Loans;
provided, however, that any payment by Borrower to the assigning Lender in respect of
any Obligations assigned as described in this sentence shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations
hereunder to the extent of such payment, and no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender
from its obligations hereunder.

          (b) Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Agent of the Assignment and Acceptance
and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion), and acceptance
and recording thereof by Agent (which acceptance and recording shall occur promptly after such
delivery), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with
this Section 10.03. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a
Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder
(provided that any liability of Borrower to such assignee under Section 2.14

 

 

shall be limited to
the amount, if any, that would have been payable thereunder by Borrowers in the absence of such
assignment, except to the extent any such amounts are attributable to a Change in Law occurring
after the date of such assignment). Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender,
Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new
Notes, as applicable. The transferee Lender shall execute and deliver an administrative
questionnaire and tax documents satisfactory to Agent.

ARTICLE 11

without the prior written agreement of Agent (with the consent of Requisite Lenders) and each
Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that

     (i) without the prior written consent of Agent, no modification shall be
effective with respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any

any Default or Event of Default); and

     (iii) without the prior written consent of all Lenders no modification shall be
effective that would (i) extend the Maturity Date; (ii) alter 11.01(a); (iii) amend

permitted by the Loan Documents.

          (b) Technical Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 11.01, if Agent and Borrower shall have jointly identified any error of a technical nature
in any provision of the Loan Documents, then Agent and Borrower shall be permitted to amend such
provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any
other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Requisite Lenders
within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

     Section 11.02 Indemnity. EACH OBLIGOR, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, SHALL INDEMNIFY AND
HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY OR
ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE,
ARISING OUT OF, IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, OR AS A RESULT

 

 

OF (A) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, THE
PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES THERETO OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS THEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION
CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (INCLUDING THE SYNDICATION OF THE FACILITY), (B) THE USE OF PROCEEDS OF THE
TERM LOANS, (C) ANY CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE
FOREGOING, WHETHER OR NOT ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO (AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH MATTER
IS INITIATED BY A THIRD PARTY OR BY THE BORROWER, ANY SUBSIDIARY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES), OR (D) ANY RELEASE OR ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON, AT OR
UNDER ANY PROPERTY CURRENTLY OR FORMERLY OWNED, LEASED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY OF THE
SUBSIDIARIES, OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE BORROWER OR THE
SUBSIDIARIES. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to
indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to the extent resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Obligors’ obligations under this Section
shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and the
resignation or replacement of Agent. All amounts due under this Section shall be deemed part of
the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral.

     Section 11.03 Notices and Communications.

          (a) Notice Address. All notices and other communications by or to a party hereto
shall be in writing and shall be given to any Obligor, at Borrower’s address shown on Schedule
11.03(a) hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on Schedule 11.03(a) hereof (or, in
the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its
Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in
accordance with this Section 11.03. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective
only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number,
if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, five Business Days after deposit in
the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if
given by personal delivery or overnight courier, when duly delivered to the notice address with
receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Agent pursuant to Section 2.10
or 2.11 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Agent
such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice or other communication that is not sent in
conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually
received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower shall be deemed received by all
Obligors.

          (b)
Electronic Communications (i) Agent shall deliver to each Lender hereunder copies
of all notices, reports, documents, data and other communications (collectively
“Communications”) received from Borrower in connection with this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. All notices and other communications from Agent to any Lender hereunder may be
delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet
websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Agent, provided that the foregoing shall

 

 

not apply to
notices to any Lender that has notified Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under by
electronic communication. Agent may agree to accept notices and other communications to it
hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

               (ii) Obligors and Lenders understand that the distribution of material through an electronic
medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with
such distribution and agree and assume the risks associated with such electronic distribution,
except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Agent or
Agent-Related Persons, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.

               (iii) Lender agrees that electronic communications are provided “as is” and “as available”.
Neither Agent nor any Agent-Related Party warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the
electronic communications or any Internet or intranet platform on which they may be provided, and
each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any such platform and the electronic
communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or
freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the Agent in connection with any such
platform or the electronic communications.

               (iv) Each Obligor and each Lender agrees that Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store
any electronic communications on Internet or intranet platform in accordance with Agent’s customary
document retention procedures and policies; provided, that any such storage shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

          (c) Non-Conforming Communications. Agent and Lenders may rely upon any notices
purportedly given by or on behalf of any Obligor even if such notices were not made in a manner
specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by
the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Obligor shall indemnify and hold harmless
each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic
communication purportedly given by or on behalf of an Obligor.

     Section 11.04 Performance of Obligor’s Obligations. Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), at any time and from time to time, at Obligors’ expense and at the discretion of the
Requisite Lenders, with, unless an Event of Default is continuing, five days prior notice to
Borrower, pay any amount or do any act required of the Obligors under any Loan Documents or
otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations;
(b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the
validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment,
insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any
discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent
under this Section shall be reimbursed to Agent by the Obligors, promptly following demand, with
interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate. Any payment
made or action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any

 

 

right to assert
an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

     Section 11.05 Credit Inquiries. Each Obligors hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders
(but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third
parties concerning Borrower or Subsidiaries.

     Section 11.06 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found
to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity
and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

     Section 11.07 Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan
Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several
limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are
cumulative and that each must be performed as provided.
Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable
provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any
provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

     Section 11.08 Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract. This Loan Agreement shall become effective when Agent has received counterparts
bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by
telecopy or other customary electronic means (e.g. “pdf”) shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of such agreement.

     Section 11.09 Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. The
Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating
to the subject matter hereof.

     Section 11.10 Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are
several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Term Loan Commitments of any
other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.
It shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Agent or Lenders pursuant
to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to constitute Agent and Lenders to be a partnership,
association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Obligor.

     Section 11.11 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects
of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Obligors acknowledge and agree that (a)(i)
this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by Agent, any Lender, any of their
Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Obligors and such
Person; (ii) Obligors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax

 

 

advisors to
the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Obligors are capable of evaluating and
understanding, and do understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger
is and has been acting solely as a principal in connection with this credit facility, is not the
financial advisor, agent or fiduciary for Obligors, any of theirs Affiliates or any other Person,
and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as
expressly set forth therein; and (c) Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be
engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from the Obligors and
their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Obligors or their
Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Obligor hereby waives and
releases any claims that it may have against Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with
respect to any breach or alleged breach of
agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated by a
Loan Document.

     Section 11.12 Confidentiality. Each of Agent and Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) with the same degree of care that it uses to
protect its confidential information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its
Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees,
agents, advisors, attorneys, and representatives (provided such Persons are informed of the
confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential)
involved in the transaction; (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or
self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the
extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other
party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or
remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any transferee; (g) with the consent of
Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (y) is available to Agent, any Lender or any of their
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information describing this credit
facility, including the names and addresses of the Obligors and a general description of the
Obligors’ businesses, and may use the Obligors’ logos, trademarks, product photographs or name in
advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from an
Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business or to the Collateral that is identified as
“Confidential” when delivered. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care
to maintain the confidentiality of such Information that it accords its own confidential
information. Each of Agent and Lenders 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 with Applicable Law, including federal and state
securities laws. This Section 11.12 shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations.

     Section 11.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS
OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT
TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

 

 

     Section 11.14 [Reserved].

     Section 11.15 Consent to Forum.

          (a)  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America
sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof (collectively, “New York
Courts”), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law,
in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action
or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right
that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that each of the Obligors
agrees that (i) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York
Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be
inconvenient and inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the Lenders who would be affected
by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York more than any other
jurisdiction), and (ii) in any such action or proceeding brought against any Obligor in any other
court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff, or seek any other affirmative
relief, except to the extent that the failure to assert the same will preclude such Obligor from
asserting or seeking the same in the New York Courts.

          (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents in any New York Court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

     Section 11.16 Waivers by Obligors. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
each Obligor waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which Agent and each 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 Agent on which any Obligor
may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice
prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral (except as required under the Loan
Documents); (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Agent to
exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws;
(f) any claim against Agent or any 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 Obligor acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a
material inducement to Agent and Lenders entering into this

 

 

Agreement and that Agent and Lenders
are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with the Obligors. Each Obligor 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.

     Section 11.17 Patriot Act Notice. Agent and Lenders hereby notify the Obligors that
pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies the Obligors, including their legal names, addresses, tax ID
numbers and other information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with
the Patriot Act. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal
guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Borrower’s management and owners, such as
legal name, address, social security number and date of birth.

ARTICLE 12

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTIES

     Section 12.01 Guaranties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Lender and to the Agent and its successors
and assigns the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations (all the foregoing
being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor
further agrees that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Guaranteed Obligations may be
extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Subsidiary
Guarantor and that such Subsidiary Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 12
notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

     To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to,
demand of, payment from and protest to Borrower of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also
waives notice of protest for nonpayment. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each
Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Term Loans or the Guaranteed
Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1)
the failure of any Lender or the Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or
remedy against Borrower or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under this
Agreement, the Term Loans or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any
thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of
this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any
Lender or the Agent for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Lender or
the Agent to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations; or (6) except as set forth in Section 4.18, any change in the ownership of such
Subsidiary Guarantor.

     Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guaranty herein constitutes a
guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, waives any right to require that any resort be had by
any Lender or the Agent to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

 

     Except as expressly set forth in Sections 12.02 and 12.06, the obligations of each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination
for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and
shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever
or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or
otherwise (other than payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise
affected by the failure of any Lender or the Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
remedy under this Agreement, the Term Loans or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification
of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the
obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which
may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would
otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

     Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be and to the extent of, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender
or the Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise.

     In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Lender or
the Agent has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the
failure of Borrower to pay the principal of or interest on any Obligation when and as the same
shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform
or comply with any other Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon
receipt of written demand by the Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Lenders
and/or the Agent an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed
Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent
not prohibited by law) and (C) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower to the Lenders
and the Agent.

     Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the
Agent, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated
as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guaranty
herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration
of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed
Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such
Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Article.

     Section 12.02 Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed
hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby
guaranteed without rendering this Agreement, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable
under applicable
law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally.

 

 

     Section 12.03 Successors and Assigns. This Article 12 shall be binding upon each
Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall enure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of the Agent and the Lenders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment
of rights by any Lender or the Agent, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and in the Term Loans shall automatically extend to and be
vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     Section 12.04 No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the
Agent or the Lenders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 12 shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or
further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Agent
and the Lenders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights,
remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 12 at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise.

     Section 12.05 Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Article 12, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such
Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.

     Section 12.06 Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor will be
released from its obligations under this Article 12 (other than any obligation that may have arisen
under Section 12.07)

     (1) upon the sale (including any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies by a
holder of Indebtedness of Borrower or of such Subsidiary Guarantor) or other
disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Subsidiary Guarantor,

     (2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such
Subsidiary Guarantor,

     (3) upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,

     (4) at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor does not have any Indebtedness
outstanding that would have required such Subsidiary Guarantor to
enter into a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to Section 4.12 of Borrower
provides an Officers’ Certificate to Agent certifying that no such Indebtedness is
outstanding and that Borrower elects to have such Subsidiary Guarantor released from
this Article 12; or

     (5) upon the Full Payment of the Obligations;

 

 

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (i) such sale or
other disposition is made to a Person other than Borrower or a Subsidiary of Borrower, (ii) such
sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by this Agreement and (iii) Borrower provides an
Officers’ Certificate to the Agent to the effect that Borrower will comply with its obligations
under Section 4.06. At the request of Borrower, the Agent shall execute and deliver an appropriate
instrument evidencing such release.

     Section 12.07 Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its
Subsidiary Guaranty shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this
Agreement to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other
Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all
the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date
first written above.

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation
(“Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of                                                              (“Holder”), at

SCHEDULE 3.01(m)

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

All facts, events and conditions set forth in the following environmental reports, provided to
Agent, are hereby incorporated by reference for purposes of this Schedule 3.01(m):

	1.	 	Environmental Review of Seven Facilities of Mayflower Vehicle Systems, Inc., prepared by
ENVIRON International Corp. for Kirkland & Ellis LLP on behalf of Hidden Creek Industries,
Inc., dated November 2004.
	 
	2.	 	Environmental Review of Four Facilities of the Commercial Vehicle Group, prepared by ENVIRON
International Corp. for Kirkland & Ellis LLP on behalf of Hidden Creek Industries, Inc., dated
December 2004.
	 
	3.	 	Publicly available environmental databases indicate that Borrower paid a $29,610 civil
penalty in 2007 for failure to renew their Title V Air Permit on time.
	 
	4.	 	Publicly available environmental databases identify potentially outstanding OSHA violations
at Borrower’s Norwalk, Ohio facility first issued in March 2007. Database results indicate a
$2,125 penalty, which has been contested by Borrower, relating to a workplace fatality. The
Norwalk facility also received OSHA notices of violation in June 2006, all of which are
reported to be completed. Borrower is currently in discussion with the federal Environmental
Protection Agency (the “EPA”) regarding the sludge generated from the ecoat process at that
facility, specifically the difference between the EPA’s and the applicable state agency’s
classification of such waste. Borrower has engaged counsel and submitted a summary of
operations to the EPA and is currently awaiting the EPA response to that summary.
Additionally, the EPA noted issues at the facility with universal waste (such as fluorescent
bulb) storage, and those issues have been corrected by Borrower.
	 
	5.	 	The EPA and NCDENR recently performed an audit of Borrower’s Concord, North Carolina facility
to assess hazardous waste storage; no reports have been received to date.
	 
	6.	 	A spill of sewage that entered a storm drain has recently occurred at Borrower’s Statesville,
North Carolina facility.  Borrower used a response company to contain and remediate the spill
and the appropriate governmental agencies have been notified of the situation.  No other
action is expected, except for internal changes to prevent any similar event in the future.
	 
	7.	 	Publicly available environmental databases identify OSHA notices of violation issued to
Borrower’s Shadyside, Ohio facility in January 2007, with actual penalty amounts of $2,125 and
$1,700, all of which were abated. In addition, the Shadyside facility received OSHA notices
of violation in October 2005 that resulted in actual penalty of $2,250, which has also been
completed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has
occurred, the Company within 30 days thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First Priority
Document evidencing a First Priority Obligation which Refinancing is permitted hereby and under the
Junior Priority Documents, then such First Priority Obligations Payment Date shall automatically be
deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations under such

regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise

(ii) any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code or any applicable law or any First Priority

     (b) No Secured Party shall object to or contest, or support any other Person in contesting or
objecting to, in any proceeding (including without limitation, any Insolvency Proceeding), the
validity, extent, perfection, priority (as set forth herein) or enforceability of any security
interest in the Common Collateral granted to the Secured Parties; provided that nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First Priority
Representative or the First Priority Secured Parties to enforce this Agreement, including the

invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the security
interests in the Common Collateral granted to the First Priority Secured Parties, the priority and
rights as between the First Priority Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Secured Parties with
respect to the Common Collateral shall be as set forth herein.

     2.2 Nature of First Priority Obligations. Each Junior Priority Representative, on
behalf of itself and the other Junior Priority Secured Parties it represents, acknowledges that a
portion of the First Priority Obligations represents debt that is revolving in nature and that the
amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced
and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the First Priority Obligations may be modified,
extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the First Priority
Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent
by the Junior Priority Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof (but subject to
the proviso in the definition of “First Priority Obligations” with respect to the Maximum First
Priority Principal Amount), whether or not such obligations are permitted to be incurred pursuant
to the Junior Priority Documents. The Lien priorities provided in Section 2.1 shall not be altered
or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment,
reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the First
Priority Obligations (subject to the Maximum First Priority Principal Amount) or the Junior
Priority Obligations, or any portion thereof.

 

10

     2.3 Agreements Regarding Actions to Perfect Liens. (a) Each Junior Priority
Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Junior Priority Secured Parties it represents,
agrees that UCC-1 financing statements, patent, trademark or copyright filings or other filings or
recordings filed or recorded on behalf of the Junior Priority Secured Parties shall be in form
reasonably satisfactory to the First Priority Representative.

     (b) Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Junior Priority
Secured Parties it represents, agrees that all mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds and similar
instruments (collectively, “mortgages”) now or thereafter filed against real property in favor of
and for the benefit of the Junior Secured Parties shall be in form satisfactory to the First
Priority Representative and shall contain the following notation (or such other notation acceptable
to the First Priority Representative): “The lien created by this mortgage on the property
described herein is junior and subordinate to the lien on such property created by any mortgage,
deed of trust or similar instrument now or hereafter granted to the First Priority Representative,
and its successors and assigns, in such property, in accordance with the provisions of that certain
Intercreditor Agreement dated as of August 4, 2009 among Bank of America, N.A., as First Priority
Administrative Agent and First Priority Collateral Agent, Credit Suisse, as Second Lien Collateral
Agent, U.S. Bank National Association as Third Lien Collateral Agent and the Loan Parties referred
to therein, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.”

     (c) The First Priority Representative hereby acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds,
or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code) over Common Collateral pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents,
such possession or control is also for the benefit of the Junior Priority Representatives and the
other Junior Priority Secured Parties solely to the extent required to perfect their security
interest in such Common Collateral. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose
any duty on the First Priority Representative (or any third party acting on its behalf) with
respect to such Common Collateral or provide the Junior Priority Representatives or any other
Junior Priority Secured Party with any rights with respect to such Common Collateral beyond those
specified in this Agreement and the Junior Priority Security Documents, provided that
promptly subsequent to the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, the First
Priority Representative shall (i) deliver to the applicable Junior Priority Representative, at the
direction of the Second Priority Representative and the Third Priority Representative as is
determined between them in accordance with the Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement, at the
Company’s sole cost and expense, the Common Collateral in its possession or control together with
any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the Junior Priority Documents or (ii) direct
and deliver such Common Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs, and
provided, further, that the provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to
govern the respective Lien priorities as between the First Priority Secured Parties and the Junior
Priority Secured Parties and shall not impose on the First Priority Secured Parties any obligations
in respect of the disposition of any Common Collateral (or any proceeds thereof) that would
conflict with prior perfected Liens or any claims thereon in favor of any other Person that is not
a Secured Party.

     2.4 No New Liens. So long as the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has not
occurred, the parties hereto agree that (a) no Loan Party shall create or grant , nor shall any
Junior Priority Secured Party have any right to require the creation of, any Lien on any assets of
any Loan Party securing any Junior Priority Obligation if such assets are not subject to, and do
not become subject to, a Lien securing the First Priority Obligations and (b) if any Junior
Priority Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any
Junior Priority Obligation which assets are not also subject to the First Priority Lien of the
First Priority Representative under the First Priority Documents, then such Junior Priority
Representative, upon demand by the First Priority Representative, will without the need

 

11

for any further consent of any other Junior Priority Secured Party, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in any other Junior Priority Document either (i) release such Lien or (ii) assign
it to the First Priority Representative as security for the First Priority Obligations (in which
case such Junior Priority Representative may retain a junior Lien on such assets subject to the
terms hereof). To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason,
without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Priority Secured Parties, the
Junior Priority Representatives and the other Junior Priority Secured Parties agree that any
amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in
contravention of this Section 2.4 shall be subject to Section 4.1.

Documents in such order and manner as they may determine in their sole discretion.

     (a) they will not take or cause to be taken any Enforcement Action;

     (b) they will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which

Liens with respect to the First Priority Obligations or the First Priority Secured Parties
with respect to any of the Common Collateral;

     (c) they will not contest, oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any
manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an

other disposition of the Common Collateral by any First Priority Secured Party or any other
Enforcement Action taken (or any forbearance from taking any Enforcement Action) by or on
behalf of any First Priority Secured Party;

or object to the exercise by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority
Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Common Collateral or
pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents or to the timing or manner in which any
such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have any such right
described in this clause (c), whether as a junior lien creditor or otherwise, they hereby
irrevocably waive such right);

 

12

     (e) they will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit,
Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any First Priority Secured Party
seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or
otherwise, with respect to, and no First Priority Secured Party shall be liable for, any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any First Priority Secured Party with respect to the
Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Documents;

     (f) they will not make any judicial or nonjudicial claim or demand or commence any
judicial or non-judicial proceedings against any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates under or with respect to any Junior Priority Security Document seeking payment or
damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise under
or with respect to any Junior Priority Security Document (other than filing a proof of
claim) or exercise any right, remedy or power under or with respect to, or otherwise take
any action to enforce, other than filing a proof of claim, any Junior Priority Security
Document;

     (g) they will not commence judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with

or realize upon, the Common Collateral or pursuant to the Junior Priority Security
Documents; and

     (h) they will not seek, and hereby waive any right, to have the Common Collateral or
any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of the Common
Collateral.

provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Junior Priority Secured Party may
exercise its rights and remedies in respect of the Common Collateral under and to the extent
provided for in the Junior Priority Security Documents or applicable law (and any recovery
therefrom shall be for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties) after the passage of a
period of 180 days (the “Standstill Period”) from the date of delivery of a notice in writing to
the First Priority Representative of its intention to exercise such rights and remedies, which
notice may only be delivered following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an “Event
of Default” under and as defined in the Junior Priority Agreements; provided,
further, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Junior
Priority Secured Party exercise or continue to exercise any such rights or remedies if,
notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, (i) any First Priority Secured Party shall
have commenced and be diligently pursuing the exercise of any of its rights and remedies with
respect to any of the Common Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Junior
Priority Representatives) or (ii) an Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Loan Party shall have
been commenced; and provided, further, that in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced
by or against any Loan Party, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Secured
Parties may take only such actions as are expressly permitted by Section 5. After the expiration
of the Standstill Period, so long as the First Priority Representative or any First Priority
Secured Party has not commenced any Enforcement Actions with respect to any portion of the Common
Collateral, any Junior Priority Secured Party may commence an Enforcement Action with respect to
all or a material portion of the Common Collateral and pursue the exercise of its rights, provided
that the other provisions of this Agreement are complied with.

     3.3 Judgment Creditors. In the event that any Junior Priority Secured Party becomes a
judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights
as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for
all purposes

 

13

(including in relation to the First Priority Liens and the First Priority Obligations) to the
same extent as all other Liens securing the Junior Priority Obligations are subject to the terms of
this Agreement.

     3.4 Cooperation. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the
other Junior Priority Secured Parties it represents, agrees that each of them shall take such
actions as the First Priority Representative shall reasonably request in connection with the
exercise by the First Priority Secured Parties of their rights set forth herein.

     3.5 [Reserved].

     3.6 Actions Upon Breach. (a) If any Junior Priority Secured Party, contrary to this
Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or the
Common Collateral, such Loan Party, with the prior written consent of the First Priority Secured
Representative, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any
First Priority Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name
or in the name of such Loan Party.

     (b) Should any Junior Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take,
attempt to or threaten in writing to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral
(including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to
this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any First Priority Secured
Party (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Loan Party) or the relevant Loan Party may
obtain relief against such Junior Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or
other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Junior Priority
Representatives on behalf of each Junior Priority Secured Party it represents that (i) the First
Priority Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and
may be irreparable, and (ii) each Junior Priority Secured Party waives any defense that the Loan
Parties and/or the First Priority Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by
the awarding of damages.

     3.7 Option to Purchase. (a) The First Priority Representative agrees that it will
give the Junior Priority Representatives written notice (the “Enforcement Notice”) within ten
business days after commencing any Enforcement Action with respect to substantially all of the
Common Collateral (which notice shall be effective for all Enforcement Actions taken after the date
of such notice). Any Second Priority Secured Party or Third Priority Secured Party, as applicable,
shall have the option, by irrevocable written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) delivered by the
Second Priority Representative or the Third Priority Representative, as applicable, to the First
Priority Representative no later than ten business days after receipt by the Junior Priority
Representatives of the Enforcement Notice, to purchase all of the First Priority Obligations from
the First Priority Secured Parties. If a Junior Priority Representative so delivers the Purchase
Notice, the First Priority Representative shall, provided that the Purchase (as defined below)
shall have been consummated on the date specified in the Purchase Notice in accordance with this
Section 3.7, terminate any existing Enforcement Actions and shall not take any further Enforcement
Actions.

     (b) On the date specified by such Junior Representative in the Purchase Notice (which shall
be a business day not less than five business days, nor more than ten business days, after receipt
by the First Priority Representative of the Purchase Notice), the First Priority Secured Parties
shall, subject to any required approval of any court or other governmental authority then in
effect, sell to the Purchasing Parties electing to purchase pursuant to Section 3.7(a) (the
“Purchasing Parties”), and the Purchasing Parties shall purchase (the “Purchase”) from the First
Priority Secured Parties, the First Priority Obligations; provided, that the First Priority
Obligations purchased shall not include any rights of First

 

14

Priority Secured Parties with respect to indemnification and other obligations of the Loan
Parties under the First Priority Documents that are expressly stated to survive the termination of
the First Priority Documents (the “Surviving Obligations”).

     (c) Without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority Documents
to the First Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Surviving Obligations (which shall not be
transferred in connection with the Purchase), on the date of the Purchase, the Purchasing Parties
shall (i) pay to the First Priority Secured Parties as the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”)
therefor the full amount of all First Priority Obligations then outstanding and unpaid (including
principal, interest, fees, breakage costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and, in the case of any
Hedging Obligations, the amount that would be payable by the relevant Loan Party thereunder if it
were to terminate such Hedging Obligations on the date of the Purchase or, if not terminated, an
amount determined by the relevant First Priority Secured Party to be necessary to collateralize its
credit risk arising out of such Hedging Obligations), (ii) furnish cash collateral (the “Cash
Collateral”) to the First Priority Secured Parties in such amounts as the relevant First Priority
Secured Parties determine is reasonably necessary to secure such First Priority Secured Parties in
connection with any outstanding letters of credit (not to exceed 105% of the aggregate undrawn face
amount of such letters of credit), (iii) agree to reimburse the First Priority Secured Parties for
any loss, cost, damage or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any
fees, costs or expenses related to any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the First
Priority Obligations and/or as to which the First Priority Secured Parties have not yet received
final payment and (iv) agree to reimburse the First Priority Secured Parties in respect of
indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority Documents as to specific
matters or circumstances known to the Purchasing Parties at the time of the Purchase which could
reasonably be expected to result in any loss, cost, damage or expense to any of the First Priority
Secured Parties, any such reimbursement, in the case of this clause (iv), to be made only after
written request therefor is made by the First Priority Representative and when and to the extent
such loss, cost, damage or expense is actually suffered by the First Priority Secured Parties;
provided that, in no event shall any Purchasing Party have any liability for such amounts
in excess of proceeds of Common Collateral received by the Purchasing Parties.

     (d) The Purchase Price and Cash Collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to such account of the First Priority Representative as it shall designate to the
Purchasing Parties. The First Priority Representative shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, distribute the amounts received by it in respect of the Purchase Price to the First
Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the First Priority Agreement. Interest shall be
calculated to but excluding the day on which the Purchase occurs if the amounts so paid by the
Purchasing Parties to the account designated by the First Priority Representative are received in
such account prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and
including such day if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Parties to the account designated by
the First Priority Representative are received in such account later than 12:00 Noon, New York City
time.

     (e) The Purchase shall be made without representation or warranty of any kind by the First
Priority Secured Parties as to the First Priority Obligations, the Common Collateral or otherwise
and without recourse to the First Priority Secured Parties, except that the First Priority Secured
Parties shall represent and warrant: (i) the amount of the First Priority Obligations being
purchased, (ii) that the First Priority Secured Parties own the First Priority Obligations free and
clear of any Liens or encumbrances and (iii) that the First Priority Secured Parties have the right
to assign the First Priority Obligations and the assignment is duly authorized.

 

15

     3.8 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Junior Priority Representatives and the other Junior Priority Secured Parties may, in
accordance with the Junior Priority Documents and applicable law, enforce rights and exercise
remedies against the Company and any other Loan Parties as unsecured creditors unless any such
action is otherwise expressly or impliedly inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent any Junior Priority Representative from
raising any objection to any sale pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code which could be
raised solely by, or on behalf of, an unsecured creditor, it being understood that the Junior
Priority Secured Parties agree that they will be deemed to have consented, pursuant to Section 363
(f)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, to any sale supported by any of the First Priority Secured Parties,
and no Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Secured Party shall raise any
objection pursuant to Section 363 (f)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code to any such sale.

     3.9 Agreement to be Bound. (a) The Junior Priority Representatives and, by virtue of
accepting the Notes or any other document evidencing the Junior Priority Obligations, the Junior
Priority Secured Parties, acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or restriction
contained in the Junior Security Documents or any other Junior Priority Documents shall be deemed
to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Priority Representative or the First
Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the
First Priority Loan Documents.

          (b) By accepting any Note or any other document evidencing the Junior Priority Obligations,
each Junior Priority Secured Parties has agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. In
addition, the limitations and restrictions upon the Junior Priority Representative and its waivers
of rights and remedies in this Agreement shall apply to limit, restrict and waive the rights and
remedies of all other Junior Priority Secured Parties to the extent that any independent rights or
remedies for the Junior Priority Secured Parties exist under or by virtue of the Junior Priority
Documents, the Junior Priority Documents, or the Liens on the Common Collateral granted thereby or
applicable law.

     SECTION 4. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF COMMON COLLATERAL; DISPOSITIONS AND RELEASES OF COMMON
COLLATERAL; INSPECTION AND INSURANCE.

     4.1 Application of Proceeds; Turnover Provisions. All proceeds of Common Collateral
(including without limitation any interest earned thereon) resulting from the sale, collection or
other disposition of Common Collateral in connection with an Enforcement Action, whether or not
pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding, shall be distributed as follows: first to the First
Priority Representative for application to the First Priority Obligations in accordance with the
terms of the First Priority Documents, until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has
occurred and thereafter, to the Junior Priority Representatives for application in
accordance with the Junior Priority Documents. Until the occurrence of the First Priority
Obligations Payment Date, any Common Collateral, including without limitation any such Common
Collateral constituting proceeds, that may be received by any Junior Priority Secured Party in
violation of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the
First Priority Representative, for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties, in the same
form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Junior Priority Secured Party hereby
authorizes the First Priority Representative to make any such endorsements as agent for the Junior
Priority Representatives (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

     4.2 Releases of Junior Priority Lien. (a) Upon any release, sale or disposition of
Common Collateral permitted by the First Priority Documents and the Second Priority Documents, or
consented to

 

16

by the First Priority Secured Parties (or any requisite percentage of them) and the Second
Priority Secured Parties (or any requisite percentage of them), in each case, that results in the
release of the First Priority Lien on any Common Collateral, the Junior Priority Liens on such
Common Collateral (excluding any portion of the proceeds of such Common Collateral remaining after
the First Priority Obligations Payment Date occurs) shall be automatically and unconditionally
released, as and when, but only to the extent such First Priority Liens on such Common Collateral
are released, with no further consent or action of any Person.

     (b) The Junior Priority Representatives shall promptly execute and deliver such release
documents and instruments and shall take such further actions as the First Priority Representative
(or, with the consent of the First Priority Representative, the Company) shall request to evidence
any release of the Junior Priority Liens described in paragraph (a). The Junior Priority
Representatives hereby appoints the First Priority Representative and any officer or duly
authorized person of the First Priority Representative, with full power of substitution, as its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of
the Junior Priority Representatives and in the name of the applicable Junior Priority
Representative’s or in the First Priority Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the
First Priority Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this
Section 4.2, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all
documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 4.2, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments,
releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable).

     4.3 Inspection Rights and Insurance. (a) Any First Priority Secured Party and its
representatives and invitees may at any time inspect, repossess, remove and otherwise deal with the
Common Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First Priority Documents, and the First
Priority Representative may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Common
Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Junior
Priority Secured Party or liability to any Junior Priority Secured Party.

     (b) Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the First Priority
Representative will have the sole and exclusive right (i) to be named as additional insured and
loss payee under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Loan Party (except that
the Junior Priority Representative shall have the right to be named as additional insured and loss
payee so long as its second or third lien status, as applicable, is identified in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the First Priority Representative); (ii) to adjust or settle any
insurance policy or claim covering the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder in
accordance with the terms of the First Priority Documents and (iii) to approve any award granted in
any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral in accordance with the terms
of the First Priority Documents.

     SECTION 5. INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS.

     5.1 Filing of Motions. Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has
occurred, each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Junior Priority
Secured Parties it represents, agrees that no Junior Priority Secured Party shall, in or in
connection with any Insolvency Proceeding involving any Loan Party, file any pleadings or motions,
take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action
whatsoever, in each case that (a) violates, or is prohibited by, this Section 5 (or, in the absence
of an Insolvency Proceeding, otherwise would violate or be prohibited by this Agreement), (b)
asserts any right, benefit or privilege that arises in favor of the Junior Priority Representatives
or Junior Priority Secured Parties, in whole or in part, as a result of their

 

17

interest in the Common Collateral or in the Junior Priority Liens (unless the assertion of
such right is expressly permitted by this Agreement) or (c) challenges the validity, priority,
enforceability or voidability of any Liens or claims held by the First Priority Representative or
any other First Priority Secured Party, or the extent to which the First Priority Obligations
constitute secured claims under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise;
provided that, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Junior Priority
Representatives may (i) file a proofs of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Loan
Party, (ii) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the First Priority Liens, or the
rights of the First Priority Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to
create, perfect, preserve or protect its Junior Priority Liens on the Common Collateral, (iii) file
any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary
proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance
of the claims of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, including any claims secured by the Common
Collateral, if any, (iv) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements, or take any
positions which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Loan Parties
arising under either any Insolvency Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, and (v) vote on
any plan of reorganization, make other filings and make any arguments and motions (the actions
described in this proviso being referred to herein as the “Permitted Actions”).

     5.2 Financing Matters. If any Loan Party becomes subject to any Insolvency
Proceeding, and if the First Priority Representative or any of the other First Priority Secured
Parties desire to consent (or not object) to the use of cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code
or to provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object)
to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party (any such financing, “DIP
Financing”), then each Junior Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other
Junior Priority Secured Parties it represents, that each Junior Priority Secured Party (a) will be
deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to,
the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, provided that the foregoing shall
not prevent any Junior Priority Secured Party from (i) objecting to any DIP Financing (1) that
purports to govern or control the provisions or content of a plan of reorganization (other than
providing for satisfaction in full in cash of the DIP Financing on or prior to the effective date
of such plan of reorganization) or (2) in which the aggregate principal amount of such DIP
Financing plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans constituting First Priority
Obligations would exceed $55,000,000, or (ii) proposing any other DIP Financing to the Borrower, (
b) will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of
such cash collateral or such DIP Financing except as set forth in Section 5.4 below and (c) will
subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Junior Priority Liens (i) to
such DIP Financing on the same terms as the First Priority Liens are subordinated thereto (and such
subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (ii) to any adequate
protection provided to the First Priority Secured Parties and (iii) to any “carve-out” agreed to by
the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties, and (d) agrees that
notice received two calendar days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash
collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice.

     5.3 Relief From the Automatic Stay. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of
itself and the other Junior Priority Secured Parties it represents, agrees that none of them will
seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any
action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Common Collateral, without the prior
written consent of the First Priority Representative.

 

18

     5.4 Adequate Protection; Post-Petition Interest. (a) Each Junior Priority
Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Junior Priority Secured Parties it represents,
agrees that none of them shall object, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or
contesting, (i) any request by the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority
Secured Parties for adequate protection or any adequate protection provided to the First Priority
Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties or (ii) any objection by the First
Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action
or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (iii) the payment of interest,
fees, expenses or other amounts to the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority
Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section and in Section 5.2(b) (but subject to
Sections 5.2(a) and 5.3), in any Insolvency Proceeding, (i) if the First Priority Secured Parties
(or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection consisting of additional collateral (with
replacement Liens on such additional collateral) and superpriority claims in connection with any
DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, then in connection with any such DIP Financing or use of
cash collateral each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and any of the Junior
Priority Secured Parties it represents, may seek or accept (and the First Priority Secured Parties
shall not object to, contest or support any other Person Objecting to or contesting) adequate
protection consisting solely of (x) a replacement Lien on the same additional collateral,
subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations and such DIP Financing on the
same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Priority Obligations are so subordinated to the
First Priority Obligations under this Agreement and (y) superpriority claims junior in all respects
to the superpriority claims granted to the First Priority Secured Parties, provided,
however, that each Junior Priority Representatives shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant
to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Secured
Parties it represents, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such
junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of
cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the
allowed amount of such claims and (ii) in the event either Junior Priority Representative, on
behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Secured Parties it represents, seeks or accepts adequate
protection in accordance with clause (i) above and such adequate protection is granted in the form
of additional collateral, then each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the
other Junior Priority Secured Parties it represents, agrees that the First Priority Representative
shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First
Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral
securing the Junior Priority Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral
securing the First Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating
thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection,
with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing the Junior Priority
Obligations are subordinated to such First Priority Obligations under this Agreement.

     (c) No Junior Priority Priority Representative nor any other Junior Priority Secured Party
shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Priority Representative or any other First
Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of First Priority Obligations
consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses. Regardless of whether any such claim for
post-petition interest, fees or expenses is allowed or allowable, and without limiting the
generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement expressly is intended to
include and does include the “rule of explicitness” in that this Agreement expressly entitles the
First Priority Secured Parties, and is intended to provide the First Priority Secured Parties with
the right, to receive payment of all post-petition interest, fees or expenses through distributions
made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even though such interest, fees and expenses are
not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of the Company or

 

19

any other Loan Party under Section 502(b)(2) or Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or
under any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law.

     (d) Neither the First Priority Representative nor any other First Priority Secured Party shall
oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Junior Priority Representative or any other Junior
Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Junior Priority Obligations
consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses so long as the First Priority Secured
Parties are receiving post-petition interest, fees or expenses in at least the same form being
requested by the Junior Priority Secured Parties and then only to the extent of the value of the
Junior Priority Liens on the Common Collateral (after taking into account the value of the First
Priority Lien of the First Priority Representative on behalf of the First Priority Secured Parties
on the Common Collateral); provided, however, to the extent that any such payments are
later recharacterized as payments of principal by the applicable bankruptcy court, such payments
shall, upon such recharacterization, be turned over to the First Priority Secured Parties in
accordance with Section 4.1 and applied to the First Priority Obligations in accordance with this
Agreement.

     5.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Priority Secured Party is required in any
Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any
Loan Party, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason,
including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any
amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of
set-off or otherwise, then the First Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such
Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the First Priority
Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been
terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and
such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the
obligations of the parties hereto. The Junior Priority Secured Parties agree that none of them
shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any
distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or
otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise
allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the
priorities set forth in this Agreement.

     5.6 Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. Except as specifically provided
in the second sentence of Section 3.8, no Junior Priority Representative nor any other Junior
Priority Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or
disposition of any assets of any Loan Party that is supported by any of the First Priority Secured
Parties, and the Junior Priority Representatives and each other Junior Priority Secured Party will
be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale
supported by any of the First Priority Secured Parties and to have released their Liens on such
assets.

     5.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Junior Priority
Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Priority
Security Documents and the Junior Priority Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct
grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common
Collateral, the Junior Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Priority
Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in
an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Priority Secured Parties
and Junior Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured
claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured

 

20

claims), then the Junior Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all
distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims
against the Loan Parties in respect of the Common Collateral, with the effect being that, to the
extent that the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring
all claims held by the Junior Priority Secured Parties), the First Priority Secured Parties shall
be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal,
pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest
before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Secured Priority
Secured Parties. The Junior Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree to turn over to
the First Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent
necessary to effectuate the intent of the preceding sentence, even if such turnover has the effect
of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Priority Secured Parties.

     5.8 No Waivers of Rights of First Priority Secured Parties. Except as set forth in
the proviso in Section 5.1, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First
Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency
Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Junior Priority Secured Party, including the
seeking by any Junior Priority Secured Party of adequate protection (except as provided in Section
5.4) or the asserting by any Junior Priority Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under
the Junior Priority Documents or otherwise.

     5.9 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of
the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are
distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on
account of both the First Priority Obligations and the Junior Priority Obligations, then, to the
extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Priority Obligations and on account
of the Junior Priority Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the
provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to
such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

     5.10 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties
hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding.

     SECTION 6. JUNIOR PRIORITY DOCUMENTS AND FIRST PRIORITY DOCUMENTS.

     (a) Each Loan Party and each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the
Junior Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any
amendment or other modification to any of the Junior Priority Documents that would conflict with or
violate this Agreement.

     (b) Each Loan Party and the First Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the First
Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or
other modification to any of the First Priority Documents that would conflict with or violate this
Agreement.

     (c) In the event the First Priority Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or
consent in respect of any of the First Priority Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or
deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First
Priority Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of any parties thereunder, then
such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the
Comparable Junior Priority Security Document without the consent of or any action by any Junior
Priority Secured Party (with all such

 

21

amendments, waivers and modifications subject to the terms hereof); provided that
(other than with respect to amendments, modifications or waivers that (i) secure additional
extensions of credit and (ii) add additional secured creditors and do not violate the express
provisions of the Junior Priority Agreements), (a) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have
the effect of removing assets subject to the Lien of any Junior Priority Security Document, except
to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 4.2 and provided there is a
corresponding release of the Lien securing the First Priority Obligations, (b) any such amendment,
waiver or consent that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Junior Priority Secured
Parties and does not affect the First Priority Secured Parties in a like or similar manner shall
not apply to the Junior Priority Security Documents without the consent of the Junior Priority
Representatives and (c) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall be given to the Junior
Priority Representatives no later than 30 days after its effectiveness, provided that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity thereof.

     SECTION 7. RELIANCE; WAIVERS; ETC.

     7.1 Reliance. The First Priority Documents are deemed to have been executed and
delivered, and all extensions of credit thereunder are deemed to have been made or incurred, in
reliance upon this Agreement. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the
other Junior Priority Secured Parties it represents, expressly waives all notice of the acceptance
of and reliance on this Agreement by the First Priority Secured Parties. The Junior Priority
Documents are deemed to have been executed and delivered and all extensions of credit thereunder
are deemed to have been made or incurred, in reliance upon this Agreement. The First Priority
Representative expressly waives all notices of the acceptance of and reliance by the Junior
Priority Representatives and the other Junior Priority Secured Parties.

     7.2 No Warranties or Liability. The Junior Priority Representatives and the First
Priority Representative acknowledge and agree that none has made any representation or warranty
with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability
of any other First Priority Document or any Junior Priority Document. Except as otherwise provided
