ARTICLE 2
LOANS
2.1 Total Facility. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Lenders severally agree to make available a total credit facility
of up to $44,242,000 (the "Total Facility") for the Borrower's use. The Total
Facility shall be comprised of term loans as described in Section 2.3.
2.2 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
2.3 Term Loans.
(a) Amount of Term Loans. Each Lender severally agrees to make
a term loan (any such term loan being referred to as a "Term Loan" and such term
loans being referred to collectively as the "Term Loans") to the Borrower on the
Closing Date, upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Article 10, in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of $44,242,000
less the Term Loans made to the Borrower pursuant to the Prior Term Loan
Agreement and continuing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Term Loans
extended on the Closing Date shall be Base Rate Term Loans.
(b) Making of Term Loans. Subject to Section 2.3(a), each
Lender shall make the amount of such Lender's Term Loan available to the Agent
in same day funds, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, not
later than 12:00 (noon) (Chicago time) on the Closing Date. After the Agent's
receipt of the proceeds of such Term Loans, upon satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Article 10, the Agent shall make the proceeds of such
Term Loans available to the Borrower on such Funding Date by transferring same
day funds equal to the proceeds of such Term Loans received by the Agent to an
account of the Borrower designated in writing by the Borrower or as the Borrower
shall otherwise instruct in writing.
(c) Term Loan Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to
the Agent on behalf of each Lender, on the Closing Date, an amended and restated
promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and made
a part hereof (such promissory notes, together with any new notes issued
pursuant to Section 13.3(c) upon the assignment of any portion of any Lender's
Term Loan, being hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Term Loan Notes"
and each of such promissory notes being hereinafter referred to individually as
a "Term Loan Note"), to evidence such Lender's Term Loan, in an original
principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
$44,242,000 and with other appropriate insertions. The principal amount of the
Term Loan Notes delivered to the Agent on behalf of each Lender shall be dated
the Closing Date and stated to mature on the Termination Date.
(d) Notation and Endorsement. The Agent shall record on its
books the
21
principal amount of the Term Loans owing to each Lender from time to time. In
addition, each Lender is authorized, at such Lender's option, to note the date
and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender's Term
Loans in its books and records, such books and records constituting rebuttably
presumptive evidence, absent manifest error, of the accuracy of the information
contained therein. Prior to the transfer of a Term Loan Note, the applicable
Lender shall endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal
balance of the Term Loan evidenced thereby. Failure by such Lender to make such
notation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under
such Term Loan Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
ARTICLE 3
INTEREST AND FEES
3.1 Interest.
(a) Interest Rates. All outstanding Obligations shall bear
interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent
permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made
until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or
the LIBOR Rate and Sections 3.1(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable, but not to exceed
the Maximum Rate described in Section 3.3. Subject to the provisions of Section
3.2, any of the Loans may be converted into, or continued as, Base Rate Loans or
LIBOR Rate Loans in the manner provided in Section 3.2. If at any time Loans are
outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to the Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining
the interest rate applicable thereto, then those Loans shall be Base Rate Loans
and shall bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate until
notice to the contrary has been given to the Agent and such notice has become
effective. Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding Obligations
shall bear interest as follows:
(i) For all Loans and other Obligations, which are
not LIBOR Rate Loans, then at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the
Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and
(ii) For all Loans and other Obligations, which are
LIBOR Rate Loans, then at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus
the Applicable Margin.
Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate described
in (i) above as of the effective date of such change. All interest charges shall
be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (which
results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day
year). Interest accrued on all Loans will be payable in arrears on the first day
of each month hereafter.
(b) Default Rate. If any Default or Event of Default occurs
and is continuing and the Majority Lenders in their discretion so elect, then,
while any such Default or Event of Default is outstanding, all of the
Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable thereto.
3.2 Conversion and Continuation Elections.
22
(a) The Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to the
Agent in accordance with Section 3.2(b):
(i) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of
Base Rate Loans to convert any such Loans (or any part thereof in an
amount not less than $1,000,000, or that is in an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof) into LIBOR Rate Loans; or
(ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable
Interest Period, to continue any LIBOR Rate Loans having Interest
Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less
than $1,000,000, or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof);
provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of LIBOR Rate Loans in
respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of
part thereof to be less than $1,000,000, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, and on and after such date the right
of the Borrower to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, LIBOR
Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall terminate.
(b) The Borrower shall deliver a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(Chicago time) at least three Business Days in advance of the
Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued
as LIBOR Rate Loans and specifying:
(i) the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date;
(ii) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or
renewed;
(iii) the type of Loans resulting from the proposed
conversion or continuation; and
(iv) the duration of the requested Interest Period,
provided, however, the Borrower may not select an Interest Period with
respect to any portion of the Loans which extends beyond an installment
payment date for the Loans unless, after giving effect to such
election, the portion of the Loans not subject to Interest Periods
ending after such installment payment date is equal to or greater than
the principal due on such installment payment date.
(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable
to LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest
Period to be applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans or if any Default or Event of
Default then exists, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert
such LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date
of such Interest Period.
(d) The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt
of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation. All conversions and continuations shall
be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the
Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.
23
(e) During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the
Borrower may not elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as a LIBOR
Rate Loan.
(f) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of
Loans, there may not be more than five different Interest Periods in effect.
3.3 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided
for hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible for corporate borrowers under
applicable law for loans of the type provided for hereunder (the "Maximum
Rate"). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have
exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the
Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be
less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum
Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount
of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the
Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations under
this Agreement, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of
this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for
this Section 3.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rates otherwise set
forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for the account
of the Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i)
the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at
all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have
accrued had the interest rates otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all
times, been in effect and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued
under this Agreement. In the event that a court determines that the Agent and/or
any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the
Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall
automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, in the
inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the
Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the Borrower such excess.
3.4 Closing Fee. On the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay (i)
the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a closing fee in the amount
of $220,000 (the "Closing Fee") and (ii) the Agent for its own account, other
fees in the amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Fee Letter of even
date herewith between the Agent and the Borrower (the "Fee Letter").
ARTICLE 4

thereon, (ii) the payment in full in cash of all other Obligations together with

written notice to the Agent and the Lenders, and (ii) payment of, with respect
to any LIBOR Rate Loans to be prepaid prior to the expiration date of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, the amounts described in Section 5.4. All
voluntary prepayments of the principal of the Loans pursuant to this Section 4.4
shall be accompanied by the payment of all accrued but unpaid interest on the
Loans to the date of prepayment. Any voluntary prepayment under this Section 4.4
of less than all of the outstanding principal of the Loans shall be applied to
the installments of principal of the Loans in the inverse order of maturity.
4.5 Mandatory Prepayments of the Term Loans.
(a) On the first day of the fourth month after the end of each
Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall make a prepayment of the principal of the Loans
in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year. Such
prepayment shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the Term
Loan, in inverse order of maturity, until paid in full. The Borrower hereby
agrees and acknowledges that any prepayment required to be made under this
Section 4.5(a) shall not constitute a payment in satisfaction of, nor in any way
limit or modify, the payments required by Section 4.5(c).
(b) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
(c) On the first Business Day of each calendar month occurring
on and after October 1, 2001 and prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower

Section 4.5 of less than all of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans
shall be applied, based upon the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders, to the
installments of principal of the Loans in the inverse order of maturity. In
connection with any such payment, if any LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid prior to
the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower
shall pay to the Lenders the amounts described in Section 5.4.
4.6 Payments by the Borrower.
(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made
without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the
account of the Lenders at the Agent's address set
25
forth in Section 15.8, and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available
funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date specified herein. Any
payment received by the Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) shall be
deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable
interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of
"Interest Period" herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest
or fees, as the case may be.
(c) Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will
not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in
immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an
amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the
Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay
to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such
amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.
4.7 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
4.8 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. (a) Aggregate
principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders
(according to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments
relate held by each Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be
apportioned ratably among the Lenders. (b) All such payments not relating to
principal or interest of specific Loans, or not constituting payment of specific
fees, and all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, the Pledged Collateral
or the Guarantor Collateral received by the Agent, shall be applied, ratably,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay, pro rata, any fees,
or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent and the Revolving Loan Lender
Agent from the Borrower under this Agreement, the Loan and Security Agreement
and the Loan Documents; second, to pay, pro rata, any fees or expense
reimbursements then due to the Lenders and the Revolving Loan Lenders from the
Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan and Security Agreement; third, to

BANA Loans, the Agent Advances, Revolving Loans, unpaid reimbursement
obligations in respect of Letters of Credit (as each such term is defined in the
Loan and Security Agreement) and Term Loans; and fifth, to the payment, pro
rata, of any other Obligation or Loan and Security Agreement Obligation due to
the Agent, the Revolving Loan Lender Agent, any Lender, the Swap Creditor or any
Revolving Loan Lender by the Borrower. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or
unless an Event of Default is outstanding, neither the Agent nor any Lender
shall apply any payments which it receives to any LIBOR Rate Loan, except (i) on
the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Rate
Loan, or (ii) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no
outstanding Base Rate Loans; provided, further, with respect to outstanding
Obligations pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap, for purposes of payment only,
the
26
Swap Creditor shall be paid after the Lenders have been paid in full with
respect to the remaining Obligations. The Agent shall promptly distribute to
each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire transfer instructions received from
each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive. The Agent
and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and
reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the
Obligations or Loan and Security Agreement Obligations, as the case may be.
4.9 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If, after receipt of any payment
of, or proceeds applied to the payment of, all or any part of the Obligations,
the Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or
proceeds to any Person, because such payment or application of proceeds is
invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable
as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any
other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force as
if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent or such Lender,
and the Borrower shall be liable to pay to the Agent, and hereby does indemnify
the Agent and the Lenders and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless for, the
amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section
4.9 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may
have been taken by the Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or
application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without
prejudice to the Agent's and the Lenders' rights under this Agreement and shall
be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds
having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
4.10 Agent's and Lenders' Books and Records; Monthly Statements. The
Borrower agrees that the Agent's and each Lender's books and records showing the
Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and
shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof, irrespective of whether
any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. The
Agent will provide to the Borrower a monthly statement of Loans, payments, and
other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement shall, absent
manifest error, be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrower and an
account stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as
provided in Section 4.8 and corrections of errors discovered by the Agent),
unless the Borrower notifies the Agent in writing to the contrary within
forty-five (45) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely
written notice of objections is given by the Borrower, only the items to which
exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrower.
ARTICLE 5
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
5.1 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to each Lender or the
Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. In addition, the
Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes.
27
(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Lender and the Agent 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) paid by the Lender or the Agent and any liability (including penalties,
interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30)
days after the date the Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor.
(c) If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or
withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to any Lender or the Agent, then:
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary
so that after making all required deductions and withholdings
(including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section) such Lender or the Agent, 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) the Borrower shall make such deductions and
withholdings;
(iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law; and
(iv) the Borrower shall also pay to each Lender or
the Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time interest is paid,
all additional amounts which the respective Lender specifies as
necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Lender would have
received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.
(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by
the Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish the Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other
evidence of payment satisfactory to the Agent.
(e) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to
any Lender or the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to
eliminate any such additional payment by the Borrower which may thereafter
accrue, if such change in the judgment of such Lender is not otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.
5.2 Illegality.
(a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any
Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it
unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make
LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower through
the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be
suspended until the Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such
28
determination no longer exist.
(b) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any
LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and
demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such LIBOR
Rate Loans of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued
thereon and amounts required under Section 5.4, either on the last day of the
Interest Period thereof, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such
LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan. If the Borrower is required to so
prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrower
shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base
Rate Loan.
5.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.
(a) If any Lender determines that, due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation or
(ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of
law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make
or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall
be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such
demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such
Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the
introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital
Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of
any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental
Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv)
compliance by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender with any
Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation
controlling the Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such
corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's
desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is
increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or obligations
under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through
the Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified
by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such
increase.
5.4 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and hold
each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which the Lender may sustain or
incur as a consequence of:
(i) the failure of the Borrower to make on a timely
basis any payment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan;
(ii) the failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue
or convert a Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have
given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;
29
(iii) the prepayment or other payment (including
after acceleration thereof) of an LIBOR Rate Loan on a day that is not
the last day of the relevant Interest Period;
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment
of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
5.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent determines that for any
reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate
for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or
that the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders
of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each
Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate
Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such notice in
writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If the
Borrower does not revoke such Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or
continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower, in the amount specified in the
applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Loans shall be made,
converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBOR Rate Loans.
5.6 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or
compensation under this Article 5 shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable
to the Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
5.7 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in this
Article 5 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations. The Lender
requesting compensation pursuant to Article 5 shall provide notice to the
Borrower within sixty (60) days after the date on which such Lender obtains
actual knowledge of any claim for compensation under said Article.
ARTICLE 6
COLLATERAL
6.1 Grant of Security Interest. (a) As security for all present and
future Obligations, the Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause, on or prior to
the Closing Date, LDM Canada to grant, to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders, a continuing security interest in, lien on, and right of set-off
against, all of the following property of the Borrower and LDM Canada, whether
now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, regardless of where
located:
(i) all Accounts;
(ii) all Inventory;
(iii) all contract rights, letters of credit,
Assigned Contracts, chattel paper, instruments, notes, documents, and
documents of title;
30
(iv) all General Intangibles;
(v) all Equipment;
(vi) all Fixtures;
(vii) all Proprietary Rights;
(viii) all Investment Property;
(ix) all money, securities, financial assets and
other property of any kind of the Borrower and of LDM Canada in the
possession or under the control of the Agent or any Lender, any
assignee of or participant in the Obligations, or a bailee of any such
party or such party's affiliates;
(x) all deposit accounts, credits and balances with
and other claims against the Agent or any Lender or any of its
affiliates or any other financial institution in which the Borrower or
LDM Canada maintains deposits;
(xi) all books, records and other property related to
or referring to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation,
books, records, account ledgers, data processing records, computer
software and other property and General Intangibles at any time
evidencing or relating to any of the foregoing; and
(xii) all accessions to, substitutions for and
replacements, products and proceeds of any of the foregoing, including,
but not limited to, proceeds of any insurance policies (other than
proceeds of key-man life insurance on which the Borrower is the
beneficiary), claims against third parties, and condemnation or
requisition payments with respect to all or any of the foregoing.
All of the foregoing, together with the Real Estate covered by the Mortgages,
and all other property of the Borrower or each Guarantor in which the Agent or
any Lender may at any time be granted a Lien, is herein collectively referred to
as the "Collateral."
(b) As security for all Obligations, the Borrower shall and
shall cause LDM Canada, on or prior to the Closing Date, to execute and deliver
to the Agent the Mortgages to grant to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders, a continuing mortgage lien on the Borrower's and each Guarantor's Real
Estate.
(c) All of the Obligations shall be secured by all of the
Collateral, the Pledged Collateral and the Guarantor Collateral. The Agent may,
subject to the provisions of Articles 13 and 14, in its sole discretion, (i)
exchange, waive, or release any of the Collateral, (ii) apply Collateral and
direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Agent may determine, and (iii)
settle, compromise, collect, or otherwise liquidate any Collateral in any
manner, all without affecting the Obligations or the Agent's or any Lender's
right to take any other action with respect to any other Collateral.
6.2 Perfection and Protection of Security Interest.
31
(a) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, at
Borrower's expense, perform all steps requested by the Agent at any time to
perfect, maintain, protect, and enforce the Agent's Liens, including, without
limitation: (i) executing, delivering and/or filing and recording of the
Mortgages, the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement
and the Guarantor Collateral Documents and executing and filing financing or
continuation statements, and amendments thereof, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) delivering to the Agent the originals of all
instruments, documents, and chattel paper, and all other Collateral, Pledged
Collateral and Guarantor Collateral of which the Agent determines it should have
physical possession in order to perfect and protect the Agent's security
interest therein, duly pledged, endorsed or assigned to the Agent without
restriction; (iii) delivering to the Agent warehouse receipts covering any
portion of the Collateral located in warehouses and for which warehouse receipts
are issued; (iv) when an Event of Default exists, transferring Inventory to
warehouses designated by the Agent; (v) placing notations on the Borrower's and
each Guarantor's books of account to disclose the Agent's security interest;
(vii) delivering to the Agent all letters of credit on which the Borrower or LDM
Canada is named beneficiary; and (viii) taking such other steps as are deemed
necessary or desirable by the Agent to maintain and protect the Agent's Liens.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Agent may file, without the
Borrower's or a Guarantor's signature, one or more financing statements
disclosing the Agent's Liens. The Borrower agrees that a carbon, photographic,
photostatic, or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement
is sufficient as a financing statement.
(b) If any Collateral or Guarantor Collateral is at any time
in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee or any of the
Borrower's or LDM Canada's agents or processors, then the Borrower shall notify
the Agent thereof and shall notify or cause LDM Canada to notify such Person of
the Agent's security interest in such Collateral or Guarantor Collateral and,
upon the Agent's request, instruct such Person to hold all such Collateral or
Guarantor Collateral for the Agent's account subject to the Agent's
instructions. If at any time any Collateral or Guarantor Collateral is located
on any operating facility of the Borrower or each Guarantor which is not owned
by the Borrower or LDM Canada, then the Borrower shall, at the request of the
Agent, obtain or cause LDM Canada to obtain written waivers, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent, of all present and future Liens to which
the owner or lessor of such premises may be entitled to assert against the
Collateral.
(c) From time to time, the Borrower shall, and shall cause
each Guarantor to, upon the Agent's request, execute and deliver confirmatory
written instruments pledging to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders, the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral, as the case
may be, with respect to the Borrower or such Guarantor, but the Borrower's or
such Guarantor's failure to do so shall not affect or limit the Agent's security
interest or the Agent's other rights in and to the Collateral, Pledged
Collateral or Guarantor Collateral, as the case may be, with respect to the
Borrower or such Guarantor. So long as this Agreement is in effect and until all
Obligations have been fully satisfied, the Agent's Liens shall continue in full
force and effect in all Collateral, Pledged Collateral and Guarantor Collateral
(whether or not deemed as the basis for any advance, loan, extension of credit,
or other financial accommodation).
6.3 Location of Collateral. The Borrower represents and warrants to the
Agent and
32
the Lenders that: (i) Schedule 6.3 is a correct and complete list of the
Borrower's and each Guarantor's state or province of formation, chief executive
office, the location of its books and records, the locations of the Collateral
and the Guarantor Collateral with respect to the Borrower and such Guarantor,
and the locations of all of its other places of business; and (ii) Schedule 6.3
correctly identifies any of such facilities and locations where Collateral and
the Guarantor Collateral is located that are not owned by the Borrower or the
relevant Guarantor and sets forth the names of the owners and lessors or
sublessors of and, to the best of the Borrower's knowledge, the holders of any
mortgages on, such facilities and locations. The Borrower covenants and agrees
that it will not and will not permit any Guarantor to (x) maintain any
Collateral with respect to the Borrower at any location other than those
locations listed for the Borrower, and with respect to any Guarantor at any
location other than those locations listed for such Guarantor, on Schedule 6.3,
(y) otherwise change or add to any of such locations, or (z) change the location
of its chief executive office from the location identified in Schedule 6.3,
unless it gives the Agent at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice
thereof and executes any and all financing statements and other documents that
the Agent requests in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Borrower represents that all of its and LDM Canada's Inventory is, and covenants
that all of its Inventory will be, located either (A) on premises owned by the
Borrower or LDM Canada, as the case may be, (B) on premises leased by the
Borrower or LDM Canada, as the case may be, provided that the Agent has received
an executed landlord waiver from the landlord of such premises in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent, or (C) in a public warehouse; provided that
the Agent has received an executed bailee letter from the applicable public
warehouseman in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. As to each
location, the Agent for the benefit of Lenders shall have filed state (and, to
the extent required, local) UCC-1 financing statements; as to all leased and
bailment location, the Borrower shall use and shall cause LDM Canada to use all
reasonable efforts to obtain landlord and bailee waivers; as to all bailment
locations for which bailee waiver letters have not been obtained, the Agent
shall have delivered to the bailee a notice of lien under Article 9 of the UCC.
6.4 Title to, Liens on, and Sale and Use of Collateral. The Borrower
represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders and agrees with the Agent
and the Lenders that: (i) all of the Collateral, Pledged Collateral and
Guarantor Collateral is and will continue to be owned by the Borrower or a
Guarantor, as the case may be, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except
for Permitted Liens; (ii) the Agent's Liens in the Collateral, Pledged
Collateral and Guarantor Collateral will not be subject to any prior Lien; (iii)
the Borrower will and will cause each Guarantor to use, store, and maintain the
Collateral, Pledged Collateral and Guarantor Collateral with all reasonable care
and will use such Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral for
lawful purposes only; and (iv) the Borrower will not, and will not permit any
Guarantor to, without the Agent's prior written approval, sell, or dispose of or
permit the sale or disposition of any of the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or
Guarantor Collateral, except for sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of
business and sales of Equipment as permitted by Section 6.11. The inclusion of
proceeds in the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral, shall
not be deemed to constitute the Agent's or any Lender's consent to any sale or
other disposition of the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral,
except as expressly permitted herein.
6.5 Appraisals. Whenever a Default or Event of Default exists, and at
such other times not more frequently than once every two years as the Agent
requests, the Borrower shall, at its expense and upon the Agent's request,
provide the Agent with appraisals or updates thereof of
33
any or all of the Collateral or Guarantor Collateral from an appraiser, and
prepared on a basis, satisfactory to the Agent, such appraisals and updates to
include, without limitation, information required by applicable law and
regulation and by the internal policies of the Lenders.
6.6 Access and Examination; Confidentiality.
(a) The Agent, accompanied by any Lender which so elects, may
at all reasonable times (and at any time when a Default or Event of Default
exists) have access to, examine, audit, make extracts from or copies of and
inspect any or all of the Borrower's and each Guarantor's records, files, and
books of account and the Collateral, Pledged Collateral and Guarantee
Collateral, and discuss the Borrower's and such Guarantor's affairs with the
Borrower's and such Guarantor's officers and management. The Borrower will
deliver and will cause each Guarantor to deliver to the Agent any instrument
necessary for the Agent to obtain records from any service bureau maintaining
records for the Borrower or such Guarantor. The Agent may, and at the direction
of the Majority Lenders shall, at any time when a Default or Event of Default
exists, and at the Borrower' expense, make copies of all of the Borrower's or
any Guarantor's books and records, or require the Borrower to deliver such
copies to the Agent. The Agent may, without expense to the Agent, use such of
the Borrower's or any Guarantor's respective personnel, supplies, and premises
as may be reasonably necessary for maintaining or enforcing the Agent's Liens.
The Agent shall have the right, at any time, in the Agent's name or in the name
of a nominee of the Agent, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter
relating to the Accounts, Inventory, or other Collateral, Pledged Collateral or
Guarantor Collateral by mail, telephone, or otherwise.
(b) The Borrower agrees that, subject to the Borrower's prior
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Agent
and each Lender may use the Borrower's name in advertising and promotional
material and in conjunction therewith disclose the general terms of this
Agreement. The Agent and each Lender agree to take normal and reasonable
precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all
information identified as "confidential" or "secret" by the Borrower and
provided to the Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any
Guarantor, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither the
Agent, nor such Lender nor any of their respective Affiliates shall use any such
information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, except to the extent that such information (i) was
or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of
disclosure by the Agent or such Lender, or (ii) was or becomes available on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or a Guarantor,
provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
Borrower known to the Agent or such Lender; provided, however, that the Agent
and any Lender may disclose such information (1) at the request or pursuant to
any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Agent or such Lender
is subject or in connection with an examination of the Agent or such Lender by
any such Governmental Authority; (2) pursuant to subpoena or other court
process; (3) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any
applicable requirement of law; (4) to the extent reasonably required in
connection with any litigation or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any
bankruptcy proceeding) to which the Agent, any Lender or their respective
Affiliates may be party; (5) to the extent reasonably required in connection
with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (6)
to the Agent's or such Lender's independent
34
auditors, accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors; (7) to any
Affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, or to any Participating Lender or
assignee under any Assignment and Acceptance, actual or potential, provided that
such affiliate, Participating Lender or assignee agrees to keep such information
confidential to the same extent required of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder;
and (8) as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or
agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Borrower or a Guarantor is
party or is deemed party with the Agent or such Lender.
6.7 Collateral Reporting. The Borrower shall provide the Agent with
such reports as to the Collateral or Guarantor Collateral of the Borrower or as
to the Guarantor Collateral of LDM Canada as the Agent shall reasonably request
from time to time, together with a certificate of an officer of the Borrower
certifying as to the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing.
6.8 Accounts.
(a) The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Agent
and the Lenders, with respect to the Accounts, that: (i) each existing Account
represents, and each future Account will represent, a bona fide sale or lease
and delivery of goods by the Borrower or LDM Canada, or rendition of services by
the Borrower or LDM Canada, in the ordinary course of the Borrower's or LDM
Canada's business; (ii) each existing Account is, and each future Account will
be, for a liquidated amount payable by the Account Debtor thereon on the terms
set forth in the invoice therefor or in the schedule thereof delivered to the
Agent, without any offset, deduction, defense, or counterclaim except those
known to the Borrower and disclosed to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to
this Agreement; (iii) no payment will be received with respect to any Account,
and no credit, discount, or extension, or agreement therefor will be granted on
any Account, except as reported to the Agent and the Lenders in accordance with
this Agreement; (iv) each copy of an invoice delivered to the Agent by the
Borrower will be a genuine copy of the original invoice sent to the Account
Debtor named therein; and (v) all goods described in each invoice will have been
delivered to the Account Debtor and all services of the Borrower or LDM Canada
described in each invoice will have been performed.
(b) Borrower shall not and shall not cause or permit LDM
Canada to re-date any invoice or sale or make sales on extended dating beyond
that customary in the Borrower's business or extend or modify any Account. If
the Borrower becomes aware of any matter adversely affecting the collectability
of any Account or Account Debtor involving an amount greater than $500,000,
including information regarding the Account Debtor's creditworthiness, the
Borrower will promptly so advise the Agent.
(c) Borrower shall not and shall not cause or permit LDM
Canada to accept any note or other instrument (except a check or other
instrument for the immediate payment of money) with respect to any Account
without the Agent's written consent. If the Agent consents to the acceptance of
any such instrument, it shall be considered as evidence of the Account and not
payment thereof and the Borrower will promptly deliver such instrument to the
Agent, endorsed by the Borrower or LDM Canada, as the case may be, to the Agent
in a manner satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent. Regardless of the
form of presentment, demand, notice of protest with respect thereto, the
Borrower or LDM Canada, as the case may be, shall remain liable thereon until
such instrument is paid in full.
35
(d) The Borrower shall notify the Agent promptly of all
disputes and claims in excess of $500,000, individually, or $1,500,000 in the
aggregate with any Account Debtor, and agrees to settle, contest, or adjust such
dispute or claim at no expense to the Agent or any Lender. No discount, credit
or allowance shall be granted to any Account Debtor other than normal and
customary discounts and allowances without the Agent's prior written consent,
except for discounts, credits and allowances made or given in the ordinary
course of the Borrower's or LDM Canada's, as the case may be, business when no
Event of Default exists hereunder. The Borrower shall send the Agent a copy of
each credit memorandum in excess of $500,000 as soon as issued. The Agent may,
and at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, at all times when an Event
of Default exists hereunder, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with
Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which the Agent or the Majority
Lenders, as applicable, shall consider advisable and, in all cases, the Agent
will credit the Borrower's Loan Account with only the net amounts received by
the Agent in payment of any Accounts.
(e) If an Account Debtor returns any Inventory to the Borrower
or LDM Canada when no Event of Default exists, then the Borrower shall promptly
determine or shall cause LDM Canada to promptly determine the reason for such
return and shall issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the
appropriate amount. The Borrower shall immediately report to the Agent any
return involving an amount in excess of $500,000. Each such report shall
indicate the reasons for the returns and the locations and condition of the
returned Inventory. In the event any Account Debtor returns Inventory to the
Borrower or LDM Canada when an Event of Default exists, the Borrower, upon
request of the Agent, shall, and shall cause LDM Canada to: (i) hold the
returned Inventory in trust for the Agent; (ii) segregate all returned Inventory
from all of its other property; (iii) dispose of the returned Inventory solely
according to the Agent's written instructions; and (iv) not issue any credits or
allowances with respect thereto without the Agent's prior written consent. All
returned Inventory shall be subject to the Agent's Liens thereon.
6.9 Collection of Accounts; Payments.
(a) Until the Agent notifies the Borrower to the contrary, the
Borrower shall and shall cause LDM Canada to make collection of all Accounts and
other Collateral and Guarantor Collateral for the Agent, shall and shall cause
LDM Canada to receive all payments as the Agent's trustee, and shall immediately
deliver all payments in their original form duly endorsed in blank into a
Payment Account established for the account of the Borrower or LDM Canada, as
applicable at a bank acceptable to Agent and subject to documentation acceptable
to Agent. The Borrower shall and shall cause LDM Canada to establish a lock-box
service for collections of Accounts at a bank acceptable to the Agent and
pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Agent. The Borrower shall and
shall cause LDM Canada to instruct all Account Debtors to make all payments
directly to the address established for such service. If, notwithstanding such
instructions, the Borrower or LDM Canada, as applicable, receives any proceeds
of Accounts, it shall receive such payments as the Agent's trustee, and shall
immediately deliver such payments to the Agent in their original form duly
endorsed in blank or deposit them into a Payment Account, as the Agent may
direct. All collections received in any such lock-box or Payment Account or
directly by the Borrower or LDM Canada, as the case may be, or the Agent, and
all funds in any Payment Account or other account to which such
36
collections are deposited shall be subject to the Agent's sole control. The
Agent or the Agent's designee may, at any time, notify Account Debtors that the
Accounts have been assigned to the Agent and of the Agent's security interest
therein. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent
may collect the Accounts directly and charge the collection costs and expenses
to the Borrower's Loan Account as a Revolving Loan. When an Event of Default
exists, the Borrower, at the Agent's request, shall execute and deliver and
shall cause LDM Canada to execute and deliver to the Agent such documents as the
Agent shall require to grant the Agent access to any post office box in which
collections of Accounts are received.
(b) If sales of Inventory are made for cash, the Borrower
shall and shall cause LDM Canada to immediately deliver to the Agent or deposit
into a Payment Account the identical checks, cash, or other forms of payment
which the Borrower receives.
(c) All payments, including immediately available funds
received by the Agent at a bank designated by it, received by the Agent on
account of Accounts or as proceeds of other Collateral will be the Agent's sole
property for the benefit of the Lenders and will be credited to the Borrower's
Loan Account on the same Business Day as such payments are received in
immediately available funds.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and in
particular Section 4.8, all proceeds and collections of LDM Canada's Accounts
and other Collateral and payments received by the Agent and/or Lenders from LDM
Canada shall be applied to fees and expense reimbursements not in the nature of
interest for the purposes of the Income Tax Act of Canada and to principal
before being applied to interest due or fees and expense reimbursements which
are or may be in the nature of interest payments for the purposes of the Income
Tax Act of Canada.
6.10 Inventory; Perpetual Inventory. The Borrower represents and
warrants to the Agent and the Lenders and agrees with the Agent and the Lenders
that all of the Inventory owned by the Borrower or LDM Canada is and will be
held for sale or lease, or to be furnished in connection with the rendition of
services, in the ordinary course of the Borrower's or LDM Canada's business, and
is and will be fit for such purposes. The Borrower will keep and will cause LDM
Canada to keep its Inventory in good and marketable condition, at its own
expense. Borrower will not, and will not permit LDM Canada to, without the prior
written consent of the Agent, acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or
approval. The Borrower agrees that all Inventory produced in the United States
will be produced in accordance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of
1938, as amended, and all rules, regulations, and orders thereunder. The
Borrower will conduct a monthly physical count of the Inventory (and after and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, at such other times as the Agent
requests) and deliver a summary of the results thereof to the Agent within
thirty (30) days after the last day of each calendar month until the Borrower
has implemented a perpetual inventory system for the Borrower and LDM Canada and
the Agent is satisfied with the test count results as a verification of the
accuracy of those perpetual inventory systems. The Borrower will not, and will
not permit LDM Canada to, without the Agent's written consent, sell any
Inventory on a ▇▇▇▇-and-hold, guaranteed sale, sale and return, sale on
approval, consignment, or other repurchase or return basis.
37
6.11 Equipment.
(a) The Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and the
Lenders and agrees with the Agent and the Lenders that all of the Equipment
owned by the Borrower or LDM Canada is and will be used or held for use in the
Borrower's or LDM Canada's, as the case may be, business, and is and will be fit
for such purposes. The Borrower shall keep and maintain and shall cause LDM
Canada to keep and maintain its Equipment in good operating condition and repair
(ordinary wear and tear excepted) and shall make all necessary replacements
thereof.
(b) The Borrower shall promptly inform the Agent of any
material additions to or deletions from the Equipment. The Borrower shall not
permit any Equipment to become a fixture with respect to real property or to
become an accession with respect to other personal property with respect to
which real or personal property the Agent does not have a Lien. The Borrower
will not and will not permit LDM Canada, without the Agent's prior written
consent, alter or remove any identifying symbol or number on any of the
Borrower's or LDM Canada's Equipment consisting of Collateral or Guarantor
Collateral, as the case may be.
(c) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit LDM Canada
to, without the Lenders' prior written consent, sell, lease as a lessor (except
as permitted by Section 9.9) or otherwise dispose of any of the Borrower's or
LDM Canada's Equipment; provided, however, that the Borrower and LDM Canada may
dispose of obsolete or unusable Equipment having an orderly liquidation value no
greater than $500,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year, without the Lenders'
consent, subject to the conditions set forth in the next sentence. In the event
any of such Equipment is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to
the proviso contained in the immediately preceding sentence, (1) if such sale,
transfer or disposition is effected without replacement of such Equipment, or
such Equipment is replaced by Equipment leased by the Borrower or LDM Canada or
by Equipment purchased by the Borrower or LDM Canada subject to a Lien, then the
Borrower shall deliver or cause LDM Canada to deliver all of the cash proceeds
of any such sale, transfer or disposition to the Agent, which proceeds shall be
applied, ratably, to the reduction of the Obligations in the order provided for
in Section 4.8, or (2) if such sale, transfer or disposition is made in
connection with the purchase by the Borrower or LDM Canada of replacement
Equipment, then the Borrower shall use or shall cause LDM Canada to use, as the
case may be, the proceeds of such sale, transfer or disposition to purchase such
replacement Equipment and shall deliver to the Agent written evidence of the use
of the proceeds for such purchase. All replacement Equipment purchased by the
Borrower or LDM Canada shall be free and clear of all Liens except the Agent's
Lien.
6.12 Assigned Contracts. The Borrower shall and shall cause LDM Canada
to fully perform all of its obligations under each of the Borrower's or LDM
Canada's Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce and shall cause LDM Canada to
enforce all of its rights and remedies thereunder as it deems appropriate in its
business judgment; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not and shall not
permit LDM Canada to take any action or fail to take any action with respect to
its Assigned Contracts which would result in a waiver or other loss of any
material right or remedy of the Borrower or LDM Canada thereunder. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall take and shall
cause LDM Canada to take all action necessary or appropriate to permit, and
shall not take any action which would have any materially adverse effect upon,
the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under its
38
Assigned Contracts. The Borrower shall not and shall not permit LDM Canada to,
without the Agent's and the Majority Lender's prior written consent, modify,
amend, supplement, compromise, satisfy, release, or discharge any of its
Assigned Contracts, any collateral securing the same, any Person liable directly
or indirectly with respect thereto, or any agreement relating to any of its
Assigned Contracts or the collateral therefor. The Borrower shall notify the
Agent and the Lenders in writing, promptly after the Borrower or LDM Canada
becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a claim by
it for indemnification under any of its Assigned Contracts, and shall diligently
pursue or cause LDM Canada diligently to pursue such right and report to the
Agent on all further developments with respect thereto. The Borrower shall remit
directly to the Agent for application to the Obligations in such order as the
Majority Lenders shall determine, all amounts received by the Borrower or LDM
Canada as indemnification or otherwise pursuant to its Assigned Contracts. If
the Borrower or LDM Canada shall fail after the Agent's demand to pursue
diligently any right under its Assigned Contracts, or if an Event of Default
then exists, the Agent may, and at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall,
directly enforce such right in its own or the Borrower's or LDM Canada's name
and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as
the Agent or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, shall determine. In any suit,
proceeding or action brought by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under
any Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision
thereof, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Agent and Lenders harmless
from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense,
setoff, counterclaims, recoupment, or reduction of liability whatsoever of the
obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by the Borrower or LDM Canada of any
obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or
liability at any time owing from the Borrower or LDM Canada to or in favor of
such obligor or its successors. All such obligations of the Borrower or LDM
Canada shall be and remain enforceable only against the Borrower or LDM Canada,
as the case may be, and shall not be enforceable against the Agent.
Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Borrower or LDM
Canada, as the case may be, shall at all times remain liable to observe and
perform all of its duties and obligations under its Assigned Contracts, and the
Agent's or any Lender's exercise of any of their respective rights with respect
to the Collateral shall not release the Borrower or LDM Canada, as the case may
be, from any of such duties and obligations. Neither the Agent nor any Lender
shall be obligated to perform or fulfill any of the Borrower's or LDM Canada's
duties or obligations under its Assigned Contracts or to make any payment
thereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any
payment or property received by it thereunder or the sufficiency of performance
by any party thereunder, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action
to collect or enforce any performance, any payment of any amounts, or any
delivery of any property.
6.13 Documents, Instruments, and Chattel Paper. The Borrower represents

be owned by the Borrower or a Guarantor, as the case may be, free and clear of
all Liens other than Permitted Liens. The Borrower agrees that it shall deliver

direction of the Majority Lenders, pay any amount or do any act required of the
Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document in order to
preserve, protect, maintain or enforce the Obligations, the Collateral, Pledge
Collateral or Guarantor Collateral, or the Agent's Liens therein, and which the
Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, fails to pay or do, including,
without limitation, payment of any judgment against the Borrower or such
Guarantor, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or
processing charge, any landlord's claim, and any other Lien upon or with respect
to the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral. All payments that
the Agent makes under this Section 6.14 and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
that the Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it
hereunder shall be charged to the Borrower's Loan Account (as defined in the
Loan and Security Agreement) as a Revolving Loan. Any payment made or other
action taken by the Agent under this Section 6.14 shall be without prejudice to
any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as

Borrower's name for such purpose; and (vi) to do all things necessary to carry
out this Agreement. The Borrower ratifies and approves all acts of such
attorney. None of the Lenders or the Agent nor their attorneys will be liable
for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law
other than as a result of such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until this Agreement
has been terminated and the Obligations have been fully satisfied.

Borrower assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to
the use, sale or other disposition of the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or
Guarantor Collateral. Neither the Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable or
responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral, Pledged
Collateral or Guarantor Collateral, or for any loss or damage thereto, or for
any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act of default of any
warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other person whomsoever, all of
which shall be at the Borrower's sole risk. The Obligations shall not be
affected by any failure of the Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect
the Agent's Liens or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, Pledged
Collateral or Guarantor Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the
Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral release the Borrower
from any of the
40
Obligations. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the
Agent may (but shall not be required to), and at the direction of the Majority
Lenders shall, without notice to or consent from the Borrower, ▇▇▇ upon or
otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of,

to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or
Guarantor Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any
insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in
connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise affecting
the liability of the Borrower for the Obligations or under this Agreement or any
other agreement now or hereafter existing between the Agent and/or any Lender
and the Borrower.

process, method,
51
substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be
employed, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by

frequently when requested by the Agent, provide to the Agent or cause LDM Canada
to provide to the Agent (i) a detailed accounting of all amounts paid (upon
collection of LDM Canada's accounts or otherwise) by LDM Canada to the Borrower,
whether or not applied to the Obligations outstanding and whether by way of
loans, loan repayments, dividends or otherwise, together with a calculation of

business, operations, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise).
9.3 Compliance with Law and Agreements; Maintenance of Licenses. The

policy of insurance shall contain a clause or endorsement requiring the insurer
to give not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Agent in the
event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause or
endorsement stating that the interest of the Agent shall not be impaired or

such proceeding, and the Borrower from time to time will deliver to the Agent

other Person: (a) terminate the Commitments and this Agreement; (b) declare any
or all Obligations (other than Obligations with respect to the Interest Rate
Swap) to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 11.1(e), 11.1(f),
11.1(g), or 11.1(h), the Commitments shall automatically and immediately expire
and all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable
without notice or demand of any kind; and (c) pursue its other rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law.
(b) If an Event of Default exists: (i) the Agent shall have
for the benefit of the Lenders, in addition to all other rights of the Agent and
the Lenders, the rights and remedies of a
65
secured party under the UCC, the PPSA and the Mortgages Act of Ontario; (ii) the
Agent may, at any time, take possession of the Collateral and keep it on the
Borrower's or LDM Canada's premises, at no cost to the Agent or any Lender, or
remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Agent may desire, or
the Borrower shall, upon the Agent's demand, at the Borrower's cost, assemble,
or cause LDM Canada to assemble, the Collateral and make it available to the

sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon

advisable, in its sole discretion, and may, if the Agent deems it reasonable,
postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time
and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new
notice of sale. Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the following
manner, the Borrower agrees that any notice by the Agent of sale, disposition or
other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by
the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Borrower if such
notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least five (5)
Business Days prior to such action to the Borrower's address specified in or
pursuant to Section 15.8. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment
in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations
until the Agent or the Lenders receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in

posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might
otherwise be required; (b) any demand for possession prior to the commencement
of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (c) any requirement that
the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial

charge, the Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade
names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property, in
completing production of, advertising or selling any Collateral, and the
Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to
the Agent's benefit. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all expenses
of sale, including attorneys' fees, and then to the Obligations in whatever
order the Agent elects. The Agent will return any excess to the Borrower and the
Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency.
(c) If an Event of Default occurs, the Borrower hereby waives
all rights to notice and hearing prior to the exercise by the Agent of the
Agent's rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to
relevy, attach or levy upon the Collateral without notice or hearing.
ARTICLE 12
TERM AND TERMINATION
12.1 Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement shall end on the
Termination Date. The Agent upon direction from the Majority Lenders may
terminate this Agreement without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default. The Agent shall provide notice to the Borrower of such termination;
provided that the failure by the Agent to provide such notice to
66

the actions taken by the Agent and/or the Majority Banks pursuant to this
Section 12.1. Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement for any
reason whatsoever, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable.

Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any
present or future supplement thereto, or in any other agreement between or among
the Borrower and the Agent and/or any Lender, or delay by the Agent or any
Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by
the Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only

occasion shall affect or diminish the Agent's and each Lender's rights

by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender) (each an "Assignee") all, or any
ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and
obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum aggregate amount of
$5,000,000; provided, however, that no such assignment shall be made unless a
pro rata assignment of such Lender's Loans and Commitments under, and as defined
in, the Loan and Security Agreement shall be made simultaneously to the same
Person; and provided further, that the Borrower and the Agent may continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so
assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together
with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the
Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender and
the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the
Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit F
("Assignment and Acceptance") and (iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid
to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500.
(b) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the
assignor Lender that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and
payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations have been
assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights
and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor
Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under
this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or
the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance,
the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (1) other than as
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability,
68
genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
furnished pursuant hereto; (2) such assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition
of the Borrower, LDM Canada or any other Person or the performance or observance
by the Borrower, LDM Canada or any other Person of any of its obligations under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (3) such
Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with
such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;
(4) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such
assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (5) such
Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (6) such Assignee agrees that
it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by
the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d) Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of notice
by the Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and
payment of the processing fee, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the
Agent, new Term Loan Notes evidencing such Assignee's assigned Loans and
Commitment and, if the assignor Lender has retained a portion of its Loans and
its Commitment, replacement Term Loan Notes in the principal amount of the Loans
retained by the assignor Lender (such Term Loan Notes to be in exchange for, but
not in payment of, the Term Loan Notes held by such Lender). Immediately upon
each Assignee's making its processing fee payment under the Assignment and
Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only
to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the
resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment
allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender
pro tanto.
(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial
banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower
(a "Participant") participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that
Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the "Originating Lender")
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however that no such
participation shall be made unless a pro rata participation of such Lender's
Loans and Commitments under, and as defined in, the Loan and Security Agreement
shall be simultaneously made to the same Person; and provided further, that (i)
the Originating Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue
to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the
Originating Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating
interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or
any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined
as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts
outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared
or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
each Participant
69
shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating
interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the
amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under
this Agreement..
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any
Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any
portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and the Term Loan
Notes held by it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR
ss. 203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security
interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.
ARTICLE 14
THE AGENT
14.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and
appoints Bank of America, N.A. as its Agent under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other
Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are
expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article
14. The provisions of this Article 14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent
and the Lenders and the Borrower shall have no rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other
Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have
any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent.
Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have
and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from
exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any
actions which the Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the
exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 11.2, and any action so taken or not
taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.
14.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees
or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as
long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
14.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct),
or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
70
Affiliate of the Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement
or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party
to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No
Agent-Related Person shall 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, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of the
Borrower's Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
14.4 Reliance by Agent.
(a) The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it
so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders
against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority
Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the
conditions specified in Section 10.1, each Lender that has executed this
Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to
be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Agent to
such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required
thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to
the Lender.
14.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with
respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to
be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have
received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default." The Agent will notify the Lenders of its
receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Majority Lenders in
accordance with Section 11; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent
has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.
14.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the
Agent-Related
71
Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the
Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and
the Guarantors, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by
any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that
it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and
the Guarantors, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower. Each Lender also represents that
it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Except for notices, reports
and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by
the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the
Borrower or any Guarantor which may come into the possession of any of the
Agent-Related Persons.
14.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the
Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the
Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro
rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of
any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any
costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent
in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in
this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the
resignation or replacement of the Agent.
14.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates
may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits
from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Agent
hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates
may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including
information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the
Borrower or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no
obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank
of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
72
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the
terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include Bank of America in its individual capacity.
14.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30)
days' notice to the Lenders. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the
Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the
Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the
Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent
shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the
term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent's
appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring
Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 14 shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted
appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring
Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the
duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders
appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that Bank of America assigns all of its Loans to an Affiliate,
whether through direct assignment or indirect assignment by operation of law as
a result of any merger or other consolidation, upon the effective date of any
such assignment, such Affiliate shall automatically become the successor Agent
and all designations or references in this Agreement to Bank of America, N.A.,
in its individual capacity or as Agent or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a
reference to such Affiliate.
14.10 Withholding Tax.
(a) If any Lender is a "foreign corporation, partnership or
trust" within the meaning of the Code and such Lender claims exemption from, or
a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under the Code, such Lender agrees with and
in favor of the Agent, to deliver to the Agent:
(i) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a
reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty,
properly completed IRS Forms W-8ECI and W-8 before the payment of any
interest in the first calendar year and before the payment of any
interest in each third succeeding calendar year during which interest
may be paid under this Agreement;
(ii) if such Lender claims that interest paid under
this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it
is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such
Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN
before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of
such Lender and in each succeeding taxable year of such Lender during
which interest may be paid under this Agreement, and IRS Form W-9; and
(iii) such other form or forms as may be required
under the Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to
exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax.
73
Such Lender agrees to promptly notify the Agent of any change in circumstances
which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
(b) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of,
withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8ECI
and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise
transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender, such
Lender agrees to notify the Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no
longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender. To
the extent of such percentage amount, the Agent will treat such Lender's IRS
Form W-8ECI as no longer valid.
(c) If any Lender claiming exemption from United States
withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8BEN with the Agent sells, assigns, grants
a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the
Borrower to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for
complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by the Code.
(d) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable
withholding tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender
an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account
such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a)
of this Section are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent may withhold from
any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other
documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.
(e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the
United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not
properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender
(because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or
because such Lender failed to notify the 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 the Agent fully for all
amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise,
including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, together
with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the
Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and
the resignation or replacement of the Agent.
14.11 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
14.12 Collateral Matters.
(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its
option and in its sole discretion, to release any Agent's Lien upon any
Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral (i) upon the termination
of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Loans
and reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, and the
termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit (whether or not any of such
obligations are due) and all other Obligations; (ii) constituting property being
sold or disposed of if the Borrower certifies to the Agent that the sale or
disposition is made in compliance with Section 9.9 (and the Agent may rely
conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry);
74
(iii) constituting property in which the Borrower or a Guarantor owned no
interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv)
constituting property leased to the Borrower or LDM Canada under a lease which
has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement.
Except as provided above, the Agent will not release any of the Agent's Liens
without the prior written authorization of the Lenders in accordance with
Section 13.2; provided that the Agent may release the Agent's Liens on
Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral valued in the aggregate
of not more than $5,000,000 without the prior written authorization of the
Lenders. Upon request by the Agent or the Borrower at any time, the Lenders will
confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release any Agent's Liens upon
particular types or items of Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor
Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.12.
(b) Upon receipt by the Agent of any authorization required
pursuant to Section 14.11(a) from the Majority Lenders or Lenders, as
applicable, of the Agent's authority to release any Agent's Liens upon
particular types or items of Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor
Collateral, and upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior written request by
the Borrower, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the
Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release
of the Agent's Liens upon such Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor
Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to
execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent's opinion, would expose
the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other
than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such
release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or
any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of
the Borrower or a Guarantor in respect of) all interests retained by the
Borrower or the relevant Guarantor, including (without limitation) the proceeds
of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.
(c) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of
the Lenders to assure that the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor
Collateral, exists or is owned by the Borrower or a Guarantor or is cared for,
protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent's Liens have been
properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced
or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any
particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to
continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or
available to the Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being
understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or
Guarantor Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent
may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the
Agent's own interest in the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor
Collateral, in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have
no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing.
14.13 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.
(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the
express consent of the Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully
entitled to do so, upon the request of the Agent, set off against the
Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to the Borrower or any Guarantor
or any accounts of the Borrower or such Guarantor now or hereafter maintained
with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless
specifically
75
requested to do so by the Agent, take or cause to be taken any action,
including, without limitation, the commencement of any legal or equitable
proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security
interest in, any of the Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral,
the purpose of which is, or could be, to give such Lender any preference or
priority against the other Lenders with respect to the Collateral, Pledged
Collateral or Guarantor Collateral.
(b) Subject to Section 4.8, if, at any time or times any
Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any
proceeds of Collateral, Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral, or any
payments with respect to the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender arising
under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for
any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of such
Lender's ratable portion of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender
shall promptly (1) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such
endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same
day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for
application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of
this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that
such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of
such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered
from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in
part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid
therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except
to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in
connection with the recovery of the excess payment.
14.14 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other
Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders' security interest in
assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or the applicable
provision of the PPSA, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender
(other than the Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, Pledged
Collateral or Guarantor Collateral such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof,
and, promptly upon the Agent's request therefor shall deliver such Collateral,
Pledged Collateral or Guarantor Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with
the Agent's instructions.
14.15 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the
Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of
immediately available funds to: ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,
ABA 07 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Account No. 8666700418, for Bank of America, N.A., or pursuant
to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself
by written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent
shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents
principal, premium or interest on the Revolving Loans, Term Loans or otherwise.
14.16 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each
Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral, Pledged Collateral and
Guarantor Collateral, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender agrees
that any action taken by the Agent or Majority Lenders in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the
76
Collateral, Pledged Collateral and Guarantor Collateral, and the exercise by the
Agent or the Majority Lenders of their respective powers set forth therein or
herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto,
shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
14.17 Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders. By
signing this Agreement, each Lender:
(a) is deemed to have requested that the Agent furnish such
Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or
examination report (each a "Report" and collectively, "Reports") prepared by the
Agent;
(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither Bank of
America nor the Agent (i) makes any representation or warranty as to the
accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in
any Report;
(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not
comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Agent or other party performing
any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the
Borrower and the Guarantors and will rely significantly upon the Borrower's
books and records, as well as on representations of the Borrower's personnel;
(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for
its internal use, and not to distribute or use any Report in any other manner;
and
(e) without limiting the generality of any other
indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the
Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the
indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or
draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations
that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the
indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase
of, a loan or loans of the Borrower; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify,
defend and hold the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless
from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and
other amounts (including, without limitation attorney costs) incurred by the
Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect
result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through
the indemnifying Lender.
ARTICLE 15
MISCELLANEOUS
15.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Prior Recourse to Collateral. The
enumeration herein of the Agent's and each Lender's rights and remedies is not
intended to be exclusive, and such rights and remedies are in addition to and
not by way of limitation of any other rights or remedies that the Agent and the
Lenders may have under the UCC or other applicable law. The Agent and the
Lenders shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to determine which
rights and remedies are to be exercised and in which order. The exercise of one
right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any others, all of which
shall be cumulative. The Agent and the Lenders
77
may, without limitation, proceed directly against the Borrower to collect the
Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral, the Pledged Collateral
or the Guarantor Collateral. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising,
on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege.
15.2 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision
of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in
any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.
15.3 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial
Waiver.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND
LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL

LENDERS CONSENT, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE

HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING:
(1) THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO
REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS AND (2) EACH OF
THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THE COURTS DESCRIBED IN

Agreement, and under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"). The arbitrator(s) shall give effect to statutes of
limitation in determining any claim. Any controversy concerning whether an issue
is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon the
arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The

either party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to
arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of(d) above, no controversy
or claim shall be submitted to arbitration without the consent of all parties
if, at the time of the proposed submission, such controversy or claim arises
from or related to an obligation to the Lender which is secured by real estate

the parties do not consent to submission of such a controversy or claim to
arbitration, the controversy or claim shall be determined as provided in this
Section 15.3(e).
(f) At the request of either party a controversy or claim
which is not submitted to arbitration as provided and limited in Section 15.3(d)
and (e) shall be determined by judicial reference. If such an election is made,
the parties shall designate to the court a referee or referees selected under
the auspices of the AAA in the same manner as arbitrators are selected in
AAA-sponsored proceedings. The presiding referee of the panel, or the referee if
there is a single referee, shall be an active attorney or retired judge.
Judgment upon the award rendered by such referee or referees shall be entered in
the court in which such proceeding was commenced.
(g) No provision of Sections (d) through (g) shall limit the
right of the Agent or the Lenders to exercise self-help remedies such as setoff,
foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal property collateral or
security, or obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of
competent jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of any arbitration
or other proceeding. The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of either
party to resort to arbitration or reference. At the Agent's option, foreclosure
under a deed of trust or mortgage may be accomplished either by exercise of
power of sale under the deed of trust or mortgage or by judicial foreclosure.
15.4 Waiver of Jury Trial.

Borrower waives presentment, protest and notice of demand or dishonor and
protest as to any instrument, notice of intent to accelerate the Obligations and
notice of acceleration of the Obligations, as well as any and all other notices

which the Agent or any Lender may elect to give shall entitle the Borrower to
any or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
15.10 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the respective representatives, successors, and
assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no interest herein may be

such Persons so agree, inure to any party acquiring any interest in the
Obligations or any part thereof.

Borrower agrees to defend indemnify and hold the Agent-Related Persons, and each
Lender and each of its respective officers, directors, employees, counsel,
agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including
Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time
(including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the termination,
resignation or replacement of
82
the Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions
contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or
in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any
investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or
appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans
or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a
party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities");
provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any
Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The
agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations.
15.12 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
intended by the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders to be the final, complete,
and exclusive expression of the agreement between them. This Agreement
supersedes any and all prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject
matter hereof. No modification, rescission, waiver, release, or amendment of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made, except by
a written agreement signed by the Borrower and a duly authorized officer of each
of the Agent and the requisite Lenders.
15.13 Amendment and Restatement.
(a) This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the
Prior Term Loan Agreement and, upon effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms
and provisions of the Prior Term Loan Agreement shall, subject to this Section
15.13, be superseded hereby.
(b) All references to the "Term Loan Agreement" contained in
the Loan Documents delivered in connection with the Prior Term Loan Agreement
shall be deemed to refer to this Amended and Restated Term Loan and Security
Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Prior
Term Loan Agreement by this Agreement, the Term Loans and all other Obligations
owing to the Lenders by the Borrower under the Prior Term Loan Agreement shall
constitute continuing Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and shall continue
to be secured by the Collateral.
(d) The Term Loans and all other Obligations owed to the
Lenders by the Borrower under the Prior Term Loan Agreement and the Liens
securing payment thereof shall in all respects be continuing (as amended and
restated hereby), and this Agreement shall not be deemed to evidence or result
in a novation, or repayment and re-borrowing, of the Term Loans or such other
Obligations. Upon the effective date of this Agreement, all Term Loans and all
other Obligations owed to the Lenders by the Borrower under the Prior Term Loan
Agreement shall automatically be deemed to be Term Loans or other Obligations
hereunder.
(e) In furtherance of and without limiting the foregoing, from
and after the Closing Date, the terms, conditions, and covenants governing the
Term Loans and all other Obligations under the Prior Term Loan Agreement shall
be solely as set forth in this Agreement, which shall supersede the Prior Term
Loan Agreement in its entirety (provided that all right to
83
indemnification of the Lenders arising pursuant to the Prior Term Loan Agreement
shall survive the amendment and restatement of the Prior Term Loan Agreement
pursuant to this Agreement).
15.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and by the Agent, each Lender and the Borrower in separate
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same agreement.
15.15 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only, are without substantive meaning and should not be
construed to modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision.
15.16 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the
Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been
accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time,
without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the
Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any
time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing
to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the
Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan
Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each
Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such
set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.

whether by acceleration or otherwise, interest hereon shall be payable on
demand.
This Amended and Restated Term Note is secured pursuant to the
Term Loan and Security Agreement and the Loan Documents referred to therein, and
reference is made thereto for a statement of the terms and conditions of such
security.
If a payment hereunder becomes due and payable hereunder other
than on a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable thereon during such
extension at the applicable rate specified in the Term Loan and Security
Agreement. Credit for any payments made by Borrower shall, for the purpose of
computing interest earned by Lender, be given in accordance with the Term Loan
and Security Agreement. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest
charged hereunder, however such interest may be characterized or computed,
exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the
event that such a court determines that Lender has received interest hereunder
in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, such excess shall be applied in
accordance with the terms of the Term Loan and Security Agreement.
Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and
to reapply any and all payments hereunder against the Obligations in such
manner, consistent with the terms of the Term Loan and Security Agreement, as
Lender deems advisable.
Borrower hereby waives demand, presentment and protest and
notice of demand, presentment, protest and nonpayment. Borrower also waives all
rights to notice and hearing of any kind upon the occurrence and continuance of
an Event of Default prior to the exercise by Agent of its right to repossess the
Collateral without judicial process or to replevy, attach or levy upon the
Collateral without notice or hearing.
In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing and
the provisions of the Term Loan and Security Agreement, the undersigned further
agrees, subject only to any limitation imposed by applicable law, to pay all
expenses, including Attorney Costs, incurred by the holder of this Amended and
Restated Term Note in endeavoring to collect any amounts payable hereunder which
are not paid when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED TERM NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE
BEEN MADE AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF
ILLINOIS AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAWS OF SUCH STATE, EXCEPT THAT NO DOCTRINE OF
CHOICE OF LAW SHALL BE USED TO APPLY THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE OR
JURISDICTION.
Whenever possible each provision of this Amended and Restated
Term Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Amended and Restated Term Note
shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Amended and Restated Term Note. Whenever in this Amended and Restated Term Note
reference is made to Lender such reference shall be deemed to include, as
applicable, a reference to its respective permitted successors and assigns and,
in the case of Lender, any financial institutions to which it has sold or
assigned all or any part of its commitment to make the Term Loan as permitted
under the Term Loan and Security Agreement. The provisions of this Amended and
Restated Term Note shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of such
permitted successors and assigns. Borrower's successors and assigns shall
include, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor in possession of or
for Borrower.

Notes issued and delivered on the date hereof to the Lenders are issued in
replacement of and substitution for, and not in payment of, the Term Loans under

to continue as Term Loans under the Term Loan and Security Agreement on the
Closing Date, including, without limitation, all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, and shall hereafter be evidenced by such Term Loan Notes necessary to
