THE LOAN

Section 2.01 Loan; Reserves and Releases.

(a) Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to
make certain loans (the “Loan”) to the Borrowers in accordance with and pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement in the aggregate amount of the Commitments; provided that
any Borrowing (including any reborrowing, once repaid) of the Supplemental Commitment shall be
subject to approval of the Lender in its sole discretion. The Loan (i) subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2.01(b), shall be made on the Closing Date and, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.02(a), shall be made from time to time thereafter if
requested by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.03 during the Availability Period; (ii)
may be prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, and once prepaid, may be reborrowed in
accordance with the terms hereof; and (iii) shall not exceed at any time the Commitments of the
Lender.

(b) Amount of Loan on the Closing Date.  The Borrowers may borrow an aggregate amount
not to exceed the amount described in Section 2.02(a); provided that no Performance Trigger
shall be in existence, as evidenced in the applicable Performance Trigger Report. In the event a
Performance Trigger has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall not be obligated to fund any
Borrowings until such time as the Performance Trigger has been cured.

(c) Releases. Releases of any Collections in the Control Account are subject to
approval of the Weekly Budget pursuant to the budgetary approval process as outlined in Section
5.01(d)(ii) below. Upon approval, the Lender shall release the approved Collections to the
Borrowers and, if and to the extent applicable, apply the amounts set forth in the Weekly Budget to
optional prepayments of the Loan, in each case, on the first Business Day of the following week.

Section 2.02 Use of Proceeds.

(a) The proceeds of the Borrowing funded on the Closing Date shall be used by the Borrowers to
pay (i) in full the Textron Facility on the Closing Date and (ii) all costs and accrued and unpaid
fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) required to be paid to the Lender
on or before the Closing Date, to the extent then due and payable.

 

16

 

(b) Thereafter, the proceeds of any Borrowing funded pursuant hereto shall be used by the
Borrowers to finance working capital, for Capital Expenditures, and for other general corporate
purposes of the Borrowers at all times in accordance with the Weekly Budget approved by the Lender
pursuant to the budgetary approval process as outlined in Section 5.01(d)(ii) below;
provided that the Lender in its sole discretion can approve additional releases upon request by the
Borrowers and approval of the use of funds using the budgetary approval process as outlined in
Section 5.01(d)(ii).

Section 2.03 Borrowing; Releases. Pursuant to the budgetary approval process as
outlined in Section 5.01(d)(ii) below, and provided that no Performance Trigger has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may borrow the amount set forth in the Weekly Budget (in
excess of released Collections approved by the Lender for the funding of such Weekly Budget);
provided that each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $100,000 or an
integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and provided further that in no event shall a
Borrowing cause the aggregate principal amount of the Loan outstanding to exceed the Base
Commitment without the prior consent of Lender (as evidenced by its funding of the applicable
amount from the Supplemental Commitment).

Section 2.04 Funding of Borrowings. If, for the applicable week, the Weekly Budget is
delivered on the preceding Thursday (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately
preceding Business Day) not later than 11:00 A.M. (Mountain Standard Time), each Borrowing and
release of Collections approved by the Lender shall be funded on the first Business Day of the
following week. Each Weekly Budget approved by the Lender shall constitute an irrevocable request
by the Borrowers to borrow the funds set forth therein. The Lender shall, on the date of the
proposed Borrowing, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in ARTICLE
III, make available to the Borrowers, at their address referred to in Section 9.01, in
immediately available funds, the proposed Borrowing.

Section 2.05 Repayment. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, repay the entire
unpaid principal amount of the Loan, together with all interest thereon and all other amounts and
Obligations payable under this Agreement, in full upon the Maturity Date.

Section 2.06 Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments.  The Borrowers may prepay the outstanding principal amount
of the Loan in whole, subject to any applicable prepayment premium set forth herein, or in part,
upon approval of the Weekly Budget pursuant to the budgetary approval process as outlined in
Section 5.01(d)(ii) below, without penalty, in either case, together with accrued interest
to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that each
partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $500,000 or integral
multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as is required to pay the Loan in
full). Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of the Loan specified to
be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for such prepayment.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.  The Borrowers shall prepay the Loan (i) in an amount equal
to the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale completed in accordance with Section 6.04(b),
within one Business Day after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; and (ii) from and in the
amount of net proceeds (including from applicable insurance policies) of casualty events and
condemnations with respect to any of their respective Property (the net proceeds shall also be net
of a reserve for the Borrowers’ good faith estimate of income and franchise taxes attributable
thereto), and subsequent permitted Indebtedness.

 

17

 

(c) Prepayment Premiums. Any prepayment in full prior to the Maturity Date shall be
accompanied by a prepayment premium, payable by the Lender in an amount equal to 3% multiplied by
the amount of the Lender’s Commitments; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be
no Prepayment Premium payable in accordance with a sale to the Lender or the highest bidder
pursuant to the Sale Motion.

Section 2.07 Note. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loan made by the
Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall at all times be joint and
several obligations and shall be evidenced by a promissory note, substantially in the form of
Exhibit A (the “Note”), executed by all of the Borrowers, payable to the order of
the Lender and in the principal amount of the Lender’s Commitments. Each Borrower authorizes the
Lender to record on the schedule annexed to the Note, the date and amount of each Borrowing
requested by the Borrowers and made by the Lender, and each payment or prepayment of principal
thereunder and agrees that all such notations shall constitute prima facie evidence of the matters
noted. Each Borrower further authorizes the Lender to attach to and make a part of the Note
continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. No failure to make any such
notations, nor any errors in making any such notations, shall affect the validity of the Borrower’s
obligations to repay the full unpaid principal amount of the Loan, together with all interest
thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement, or the duties of the
Borrowers hereunder or the other Borrowers under the Security Agreement.

Section 2.08 Expiration of Commitments. The Commitments shall expire on the last day
of the Availability Period.

Section 2.09 Interest. Interest shall accrue on Borrowings under the Base Commitment
at the per annum rate of 7% and on Borrowings under the Supplemental Commitment at the per annum
rate of 12%. All interest on the Loan shall be based on a 365/366-day year and actual days
elapsed; provided, however, at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, interest on the Loan shall accrue and be payable at a per annum rate of 12%. All
interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated monthly and shall be
payable, at the option of the Borrowers, either (a) in cash, monthly in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date; or (b) by the addition of such amount of interest to the then-outstanding principal
amount of the Loan on such Interest Payment Date; provided that, at maturity or upon any prepayment
of the Loan (whether in whole or in part), all interest then-outstanding shall be payable prior to
giving effect to any payment of principal. If, as of any Interest Payment Date, the Borrowers have
not paid the entire amount of interest then due, such failure to pay interest shall be deemed to be
an irrevocable election by the Borrowers to add such remaining interest to the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan on such Interest Payment Date. Any interest added to principal
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.09 shall, from and after the Interest Payment
Date, accrue interest as if an original part of the principal amount of the Loan.

 

18

 

Section 2.10 Increased Costs. If, due to either (a) the introduction of or any change
in or in the interpretation of any Law or regulation; or (b) compliance with any guideline or
request from any Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of Law), there shall be any
increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining the Loan,
then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by the Lender, pay to the Lender additional
amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the
amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrowers by the Lender, shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11 Payments and Computations.

(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the Note not later than 11:00
A.M. (Mountain Standard Time) on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Lender at its address
referred to in Section 9.01 in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fee,
as the case may be.

Section 2.12 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrowers under each Credit Document shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the
case of the Lender, taxes measured by its net income and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of a tax
on net income) imposed on it by each jurisdiction under the Laws of which the Lender is organized
or any political subdivision thereof and taxes measured by the Lender’s net income and franchise
taxes (imposed in lieu of a tax on net income) imposed on it by each jurisdiction under the Laws of
which the Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as
“Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Lender (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may
be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the Lender, as
the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
or withholdings been made; (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings; and
(iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes
or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of any applicable Governmental
Body which arise from any payment made under any Credit Document or from the execution, delivery,
enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document (collectively,
“Other Taxes”).

 

19

 

(c) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes
(including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section 2.12) paid by the Lender and any liability (including for penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date the
Lender makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrowers will
furnish to the Lender, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive
the payment in full of the Obligations.

Section 2.13 Super-Priority Nature of Obligations and Liens. Except as otherwise set
forth herein, the Liens and security interests granted to the Lender on the Collateral and the
priorities accorded to the Obligations shall have the super-priority administrative expense and
senior secured status afforded by sections 364(c) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent
provided and as more fully set forth and or provided for in the Interim DIP Financing Order and
Final DIP Financing Order, as applicable. The Lender’s Liens on the Collateral and the
administrative claims under sections 364(c) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code afforded the
Obligations shall also have priority over any claims arising under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy
Code subject and subordinate only to the extent provided and as more fully set forth in the Interim
DIP Financing Order and/or the Final DIP Financing Order, subject only to (a) Senior Liens; and (b)
only to the extent there are not sufficient, unencumbered funds in the Debtors’ estates to pay such
amounts at the time payment is required to be made, the Carve-Out (as defined below) in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000. The Carve-Out may be used only to pay (a) unpaid fees of
the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Trustee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a); (b) allowed
professional fees and expenses of the Debtors and any statutory committee appointed by the
Bankruptcy Court under section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code (“Statutory Committee”)
(collectively, the “Professional Fees”) incurred to the extent consistent with the Budget,
but unpaid, prior to delivery of a notice of an Event of Default (the “Carve-Out Notice”);
and (c) Professional Fees incurred subsequent to delivery of the Carve-Out Notice to the extent
consistent with the Budget in an amount not to exceed $500,000 (items (a) through (c),
collectively, the “Carve-Out”); provided, however, that the Carve-Out shall not include,
apply to or be available for any fees or expenses incurred by any party, including the Borrowers or
any Statutory Committee, in connection with the investigation, initiation or prosecution of any
claims, causes of action, adversary proceedings or other litigation against the Lender, including
challenging the amount, validity, priority or enforceability of, or asserting any defense, claim,
counterclaim or offset to, the Obligations or the Liens of the Lender under this Agreement in
respect thereof. The Lender agrees that so long as the Maturity Date shall not have occurred or
the Lender has not exercised any remedies as a result of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall
be permitted to pay compensation and reimbursement of expenses allowed and payable under sections
330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, as the same may be due and payable, and the same shall not
reduce the amount available under the Carve-Out. The foregoing shall not be construed as a
consent to the allowance of any fees and expenses or bonuses referred to above
and shall not affect the right of the Borrowers or the Lender to object to the allowance and
payment of such amounts. Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Interim DIP Financing
Order and/or the Final DIP Financing Order, no other claim having a priority superior or pari passu
to that granted to the Lenders by the Interim DIP Financing Order and/or the Final DIP Financing
Order shall be granted or approved while any Obligations under this Agreement remain outstanding.

 

20

 

Section 2.14 No Discharge; Survival of Claims. Except as otherwise set forth herein,
(a) in the absence of the Maturity Date having occurred, the Obligations shall survive the entry of
an order (i) confirming any chapter 11 plan in the Bankruptcy Cases, (ii) converting the Bankruptcy
Cases to one or more cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) dismissing the
Bankruptcy Cases, and (b) the super-priority administrative claim granted to the Obligations and
all Liens granted to the Lender shall continue in full force and effect and maintain their priority
as set forth in the Interim DIP Financing Order and/or the Final DIP Financing Order until full
payment of the Obligations.

Section 2.15 Waiver of Any Priming and Surcharge Rights. The Borrowers hereby
irrevocably waive any right (i) pursuant to sections 364(c) or 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise, to grant any Lien of equal or greater priority than the Liens securing the Obligations;
(ii) to approve or grant a claim of equal or superior priority than the Obligations; and (iii) to
surcharge the Collateral or the Lender pursuant to sections 105, 506(c) and 552 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

Section 2.16 Control Account; Sweep of Funds. At all times, each Borrower shall cause
all Collections to be deposited, within two Business Days of receipt, in the exact form received in
the Control Account. Until so deposited, such funds shall be held by such Borrower in trust for
the Lender. All proceeds being held by the Lender in the Control Account (or by such Borrower in
trust for the Lender) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Obligations and
shall not constitute payment of the Obligations. Amounts deposited in the Control Account shall not
be subject to withdrawal by any Borrower, except after payment in full and discharge of all
Obligations.

provided, however, that each of the cases set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv)

and reserves, if applicable, in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the
books of the Borrowers, as the case may be.

 

39

 

Section 5.05 Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence. Subject to the DIP
Financing Orders, the Borrowers shall (a) continue to engage, in Business of the same general type
as conducted on the Closing Date by the Borrowers and similar or related
businesses; (b) preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its corporate or other legal
existence except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement; (c) take all reasonable action to
maintain all rights, privileges, licenses and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal
conduct of their Business except to the extent that failure to comply therewith would not, in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) comply with all post-petition Contractual
Obligations, its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or other organizational or governing
documents) and all Laws applicable to it except to the extent that failure to comply therewith
would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.06 Maintenance of Property; Insurance.

(a) The Borrowers shall keep all of their material Property useful and necessary in their
Business in reasonably good working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) except to
the extent that failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect.

(b) The Borrowers agree to maintain, at the levels and of the types set forth in Schedule
5.06, insurance policies then in effect or, with respect relevant workers’ compensation laws,
at the level required to comply with and maintain coverages required by relevant workers’
compensation laws, provided, the Borrowers may continue to self insure or receive insurance through
a state fund where they currently do so or place Excess Employers Indemnity Insurance in the State
of Texas in lieu of a Workers’ Compensation Policy. The Borrowers shall assure that the insurance
policies required by this Section shall continue to be carried by insurance companies with a
general policyholder service rating of not less than “B++” as rated in the most recent available
Best’s Insurance Report. In the event that any such insurance company which provides a Borrower an
insurance policy or policies required by this Section is no longer financially responsible and
capable of fulfilling the requirements of such policies in the reasonable opinion of the Lender,
such Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such insurance company within 30
days of receipt of a written request of the Lender; provided, however, that the amount of coverage
required pursuant to this Section may be reduced or eliminated, with the written consent of the
Lender, if an insurance consultant or insurance broker retained by any Borrower provides a written
recommendation that, based upon its evaluation of the such Borrower’s maximum foreseeable loss in
the event of a major conflagration, windstorm, explosion, riot, flood, or similar event, a
specified lesser amount is believed to be reasonable given the nature of the risks insured.

(c) With the exception of the Workers’ Compensation and Texas Excess Employers Indemnity
Insurance policies, all such policies shall name the applicable Borrower and the Lender as insured
parties, beneficiaries or loss payees as their interests may appear. Each policy shall be in such
form and contain such provisions as are generally considered standard for the type of insurance
involved and except for any workers’ compensation policy, shall contain a provision to the effect
that the insurer shall not cancel or substantially modify the policy provisions without first
giving thirty day advance written notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lender (except
for non-payment of premium).

 

40

 

(d) The Borrowers will give prompt written notice to the Lender of any loss or claim in excess
of $20,000 (regardless of whether it is covered by insurance), and the Lender may
make proof of loss if not made promptly by the applicable Borrower. Each insurance company is
hereby authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to the Lender instead of to
the applicable Borrower or to the applicable Borrower and the Lender jointly. Insurance proceeds
or any part thereof may be applied by the Lender, at its option, either to the reduction or payment
of the Obligations (without the premiums set forth in Section 2.06(c)) or to the repair,
rebuilding and restoration of the Property lost, damaged or destroyed, but the Lender shall not be
obligated to ensure the proper application of any amount paid over to the applicable Borrower.

accountants (which shall be attended by a Responsible Officer if required by such independent
certified public accountants); and

(d) Each Borrower shall permit the Lender and its representatives to conduct audits from time
to time of the Inventory and receivables of such Borrower, subject to Section 9.05(a), at
the expense of such Borrower.

(a) Each Borrower shall comply in all material respects with, and take reasonable actions to
ensure compliance in all material respects by all tenants and subtenants, if any, with, all
applicable Environmental Laws and obtain and comply in all material respects with and maintain, and
take reasonable actions to ensure that all tenants and subtenants obtain and comply in all material
respects with and maintain, any and all licenses, approvals, notifications, registrations or
Permits required by applicable Environmental Laws; and

(b) Each Borrower shall conduct and complete all investigations, studies, sampling and
testing, and all remedial, removal and other actions required under Environmental Laws and promptly
comply in all material respects with all lawful orders and directives of all Governmental Bodies
regarding Environmental Laws except to the extent that the same are being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings and the failure to do or the pendency of such proceedings would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Loan as provided in Section 4.12.

 

41

not exceed the budgeted amounts for such week (as set forth in the related Weekly Budget) by more
than 10% on a weekly cumulative measured basis.

Section 5.11 Compliance with Laws, Etc. Governmental Authorities shall comply, in all
material respects with all Laws, licenses and franchises, including all Permits.

provide Lender with proof of payment thereof, before the same shall become delinquent, all lawful
governmental claims, taxes, assessments, charges and levies, except where contested in good faith
by proper proceedings, if adequate reserves therefor have been established on the books of the
Borrowers in conformity with GAAP.

Section 5.13 Collateral Documents. Each Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall
take all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Lender to maintain each Collateral
Document in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, including (a)
making filings and recordations, (b) making payments of fees and other charges, (c) issuing, and if
necessary, filing or recording supplemental documentation, including continuation statements, (d)
discharging all claims or other Liens (other than Permitted Liens and Senior Liens) adversely
affecting the rights of the Lender in the Collateral, and (e) publishing or otherwise delivering
notice to third parties.

Section 5.14 Accounts. On the Closing Date, each Borrower shall provide notice to all
applicable parties (other than taxing authorities) of the revocation of all ACH debit access from
any account of such Borrower; it being understood that remittance of taxes be allowed from
accounts. From and after the Closing Date, each Borrower shall cause all Collections to be
deposited in the Control Account pursuant to Section 2.16. Each Borrower hereby authorizes
the Lender to collect all payments, checks, drafts and other instruments received by any Borrower
and to withdraw and hold in reserve or release to the Borrowers funds from time to time credited to
the Control Account in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section 2.03, as applicable.
Other than as permitted pursuant to an approved Weekly Budget, no Borrower shall make any

any account set forth on Schedule 4.16 (other than the Control Account) to any Person other
than the Control Account.

Section 9.02 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time,
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of which rights being hereby
expressly waived), to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or
special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Lender to or for the credit or
the account of the Borrowers against obligations and liabilities of such Person to the Lender
hereunder, under the Note, the other Credit Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether the
Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims,
or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been
made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or
entered on the books of the Lender subsequent thereto. Any Person purchasing a participation in
the Loan and Commitments hereunder pursuant to Section 9.03(c) may exercise all rights of
set-off with respect to its participation interest as fully as if such Person were the Lender
hereunder.

Section 9.03 Benefit of Agreement.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that,
except as expressly provided herein, the Borrowers may not assign or transfer any of their
interests without prior written consent of the Lender; provided, further, that the rights of the
Lender to transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall
be limited as set forth in this Section 9.03, provided however that nothing herein shall
prevent or prohibit the Lender from (i) pledging its Loan hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in
support of borrowings made by the Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank; or (ii) granting
assignments or selling participations in the Lender’s Loan and/or Commitments hereunder to its
parent company and/or to any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Lender.

(b) Assignments. The Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations
hereunder (including its Obligations and Commitments) to any other Person. The assigning Lender
will give prompt notice to the Borrowers of any such assignment. Upon the effectiveness of any
such assignment, the assignee shall become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents and, to the extent of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall be
relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of the Loan and Commitments components
being assigned. Each of the Borrowers agrees that upon notice of any such assignment and
surrender of the Note, it will promptly provide to the assigning Lender and to the assignee
separate promissory notes in the amount of their respective interests substantially in the form of
the original Note.

 

50

 

(c) Participations. The Lender may sell, transfer, grant or assign participations in
all or a portion of the Lender’s rights, obligations or rights and obligations hereunder (including
all or a portion of its Commitments or its Loan); provided that (i) the Lender shall remain a
“Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement (the Lender’s obligations under the Credit Documents
remaining unchanged) and the participant shall not constitute a Lender hereunder; (ii) no such
participant shall have, or be granted, rights to approve any amendment or waiver relating to this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents except to the extent any such amendment or waiver would (A)
reduce the principal of or rate of interest on or fees in respect of the Loan in which the
participant is participating or (B) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal (including
extension of the Maturity Date or the date of any mandatory prepayment), interest or fees in which
the participant is participating; and (iii) sub-participations by the participant (except to an
affiliate, parent company or affiliate of a parent company of the participant) shall be prohibited.
In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against the Lender in respect of
such participation to be those set forth in the participation agreement with the Lender creating
such participation) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if
the Lender had not sold such participation.

Section 9.04 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the
Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and
no course of dealing between the Lender and the Borrowers shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or
demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Lender to any
other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 9.05 Payment of Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each of the Borrowers agrees, jointly and severally, to: (i) pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lender in connection with (A) the conduct of due diligence
including the costs of the Lender for obtaining surveys, environmental assessments and title
searches; (B) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery and administration of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel of the Lender), up to a maximum of $350,000
in the aggregate; provided that such limitation shall not include any amounts paid or payable by
Borrowers in respect of required title insurance policies; (C) any amendment, waiver or consent
relating hereto and thereto including, but not limited to, any such amendments, waivers or consents
resulting from or related to any work-out, renegotiation or

 

51

 

restructure relating to the performance by the Borrowers under this Agreement; and (D) enforcement of the
Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein (including in connection
with any such enforcement, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Lender); (ii)
permit the Lender to perform monthly Inventory and Accounts Receivable field audits at the
Borrowers’ expense; provided that the Lender shall not be precluded by application of this clause
from conducting additional audits at its own expense; and (iii) pay and hold the Lender harmless
from and against any and all present and future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the
foregoing matters and save the Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with
respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the
Lender) to pay such taxes.

(b) Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Lender and its officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents from and hold each of them harmless against any
and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by any of them as a result of, or
arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of (A) any investigation, litigation or
other proceeding (whether or not the Lender is a party thereto) related to the entering into and/or
performance of any Credit Document, including the management and application of funds deposited in
the Control Account or the use of proceeds of the Loan or the consummation of any other
transactions contemplated in any Credit Document, including the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; or
(B) the presence or Release of any Hazardous Materials at, under or from any Property owned,
operated or leased by the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries, or the failure by the Borrowers or
any of its Subsidiaries to comply with any Environmental Law (but excluding, in the case of either
of clause (A) or (B) above, any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent
incurred by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Person to be
indemnified).

Section 9.06 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then any such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given.

Section 9.07 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loan, the repayment of the Loan and other
obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, and all
representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein shall survive delivery of the Note and
the making of the Loan hereunder.

Section 9.08 Waiver. Each party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of
any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered
pursuant hereto; (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party contained
herein; or (d) waive satisfaction of any condition to its obligations hereunder. Any such
extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the
party to be bound thereby. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on
the part of any party of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. All remedies, rights, undertakings,
obligations, and agreements contained herein shall be cumulative and not mutually exclusive.

 

52

 

Section 9.09 Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims with respect thereto shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal bankruptcy law, to the extent
applicable, and, where state law is implicated, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to
any conflict of laws rules thereof that might indicate the application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction.

Section 9.10 Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) The parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the jurisdiction
of the Bankruptcy Court for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (and agree not to commence any litigation relating hereto except
in the Bankruptcy Court).

(b) Any and all service of process and any other notice in any such claim shall be effective
against any party if given personally or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
or by any other means of mail that requires a signed receipt, postage prepaid, mailed to such party
as herein provided. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to
serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed
against any other party in any other jurisdiction.

(c) If any claim is brought by any party hereto to enforce its rights or another party’s
obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument to be delivered by
such party on the Closing Date in connection herewith, the substantially prevailing party in such
claim shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other costs
incurred in such claim, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

(d) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 9.11 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement is
not assignable by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that the

successor or successors under a plan or plans of reorganization confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

53

 

Section 9.12 Interpretation; Headings. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer
to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require. All terms
defined in this Agreement in their singular or plural forms have correlative meanings when used
herein in their plural or singular forms, respectively. The term “Lender” includes (i) any of the
Lender’s successor(s); and (ii) any assignee of the Lender who becomes a party hereto
pursuant to Section 9.03. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the words “include,”
“includes” and “including” do not limit the preceding words or terms and shall be deemed to be
followed by the words “without limitation.” All references herein to “Sections” shall be deemed
references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. All
references herein to “Schedules” and “Exhibits” shall mean the Schedules and Exhibits attached to
this Agreement and forming a part hereof. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other
words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular Article,
Section, subsection or clause in this Agreement. The Section headings in this Agreement are for
reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge
and agree that (a) each party and its counsel reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of
this Agreement and have contributed to its revision; (b) the rule of construction to the effect

construed fairly as to all parties, regardless of which party was generally responsible for the
preparation of this Agreement. Dates and times set forth in this Agreement for the performance of
the parties’ respective obligations hereunder or for the exercise of their rights hereunder shall
be strictly construed, time being of the essence of this Agreement. If the date specified or
computed under this Agreement for the performance, delivery, completion or observance of a
covenant, agreement, obligation or notice by any party, or for the occurrence of any event provided
for herein, is a day other than a Business Day, then the date for such performance, delivery,
completion, observance or occurrence shall automatically be extended to the next Business Day
following such date. Any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document
herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time
to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified.

Section 9.13 Severability of Provisions. If any provision or any portion of any
provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portion of such
provision and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. If the
application of any provision or any portion of any provision of this Agreement to any Person or
circumstance shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the application of such provision or portion
of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or
unenforceable shall not be affected thereby.

Section 9.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all
such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each counterpart may
consist of a number of copies hereof each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of
the parties hereto.

Section 9.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in this
Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or shall, confer any third party
beneficiary or other rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto.

 

54

 

Section 9.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Borrowers and the Lender agrees to keep
confidential (and to cause its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and
representatives to keep confidential) all written information, materials and documents furnished to
the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower (whether before or after the Closing Date) which
relates to the Borrower (the “Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties hereto shall be permitted to disclose Information (a) to its affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, agents and representatives in connection with its participation in any of the
transactions evidenced by this Agreement or any other Credit Documents or the administration of
this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, subject to the provisions of this Section
9.16; (b) to the extent required by applicable Laws and regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, or requested by any Governmental Body; (c) to the extent such Information
(i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or any
agreement entered into pursuant to clause (d) below, (ii) becomes available to the Lender on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (iii) was available to the Lender
on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Lender by the Borrower; (d) to any
assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or
participant (or prospective assignee or participant) first specifically agrees in a writing
furnished to and for the benefit of the Borrower to be bound by the terms of this Section
9.16; or (e) to the extent that the Borrower shall have consented in writing to such
disclosure. Nothing set forth in this Section 9.16 shall obligate the Lender to return any
materials furnished by the Borrower.

Section 9.17 Conflict. To the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency
between any provision hereof, on the one hand, and any provision of any Credit Document, on the
other hand, this Agreement shall control.
