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 $63,000,000 (the "Total Facility") for the Borrower's use

shall be comprised of a revolving line of credit consisting of revolving loans
and letters of credit up to the Maximum Revolver Amount, as described in

2.2 Revolving Loans.
(a) Amounts. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Article 10, each Lender severally agrees, upon the

the Closing Date to the Termination Date, to make revolving loans (the
"Revolving Loans") to the Borrower, in amounts not to exceed (except with
respect to BANA Loans) such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Borrower's Revolver
Availability. The Lenders, however, in their discretion, may elect to make
Revolving Loans or participate (as provided for in Section 2.4(f) in the credit
support or enhancement provided through the Agent to the issuers of Letters of
Credit in excess of the Revolver Availability on one or more occasions, but if

outstanding Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of Pending Revolving Loans,
the undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit and any unpaid
reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit exceeds the Revolver
Availability, the Lenders may refuse to make or otherwise restrict the making
of Revolving Loans as the Lenders determine until such excess has been
eliminated.
(b) Procedure for Borrowing.
(i) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower's irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the
form of a Notice of Borrowing (which notice must be received by the
Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (x) three (3) Business Days
prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of
28
LIBOR Rate Loans and (y) no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the
requested Funding Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans):

which shall be a Business Day;
(C) specifying whether the Revolving Loans
requested are to be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans provided,
however, that with respect to the Borrowing to be made on the Closing
Date, such Borrowings will consist of Base Rate Loans only;
(D) specifying the duration of the Interest
Period if the requested Revolving Loans are to be LIBOR Rate Loans. If
the Notice of Borrowing fails to specify the duration of the Interest
Period for any Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans, such Interest
Period shall be three months; and
(E) in the event that all or a portion of
the proceeds of the Revolving Loan requested will be utilized to make
an Intercompany Loan pursuant to Section 9.13, setting forth in
reasonable detail the calculations required to establish that the
aggregate amount of such Intercompany Loan (and all prior Intercompany
Loans made with proceeds of Revolving Loans) does not exceed the sum of
(a) the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) the LDM Canada Borrowing Base
at such time plus (b) $4,000,000.
(ii) After giving effect to any Borrowing, there may
not be more than five (5) different Interest Periods in effect.
(iii) With respect to any request for Base Rate
Loans, in lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Borrowing
the Borrower may give the Agent telephonic notice of such request by
the required time, with such telephonic notice to be confirmed in
writing within twenty-four (24) hours of the giving of such notice but
Agent shall be entitled to rely on the telephonic notice in making such
Revolving Loans.
(c) Reliance upon Authority. On or prior to the Closing Date
and thereafter prior to any change with respect to any of the information
contained in the following clauses (i) and (ii), the Borrower shall deliver to
the Agent a writing setting forth (i) the account of the Borrower to which the
Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Revolving Loans requested
pursuant to this Section 2.2, and (ii) the names of the officers authorized to
request Revolving Loans on behalf of the Borrower, and shall provide the Agent
with a specimen signature of each such officer. The Agent shall be entitled to
rely conclusively on such officer's authority to request Revolving Loans on
behalf of the Borrower, the proceeds of which are to be transferred to any of
the accounts specified by the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence, until the Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The Agent
shall have no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing him or
herself as one of the officers authorized by the Borrower to make such requests
on its behalf.
29
(d) No Liability. The Agent shall not incur any liability to
the Borrower as a result of acting upon any notice referred to in Sections
2.2(b) and (c), which notice the Agent believes in good faith to have been
given by an officer duly authorized by the Borrower to request Revolving Loans
on its behalf or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.2, and
the crediting of Revolving Loans to the Borrower's deposit account, or
transmittal to such Person as the Borrower shall direct, shall conclusively
establish the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Loans as
provided herein.
(e) Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic
notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to Section 2.2(b) shall be irrevocable
and the Borrower shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in
accordance therewith.
(f) Agent's Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of
Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) pursuant to Section 2.2(b),
the Agent shall elect, in its discretion, (i) to have the terms of Section
2.2(g) apply to such requested Borrowing, or (ii) to request Bank of America to
make a BANA Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(h) in the amount of the
requested Borrowing; provided, however, that if Bank of America declines in its
sole discretion to make a BANA Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(h), the Agent shall
elect to have the terms of Section 2.2(g) apply to such requested Borrowing.
(g) Making of Revolving Loans.
(i) In the event that the Agent shall elect to have the
terms of this Section 2.2(g) apply to a requested Borrowing as
described in Section 2.2(f), then promptly after receipt of a Notice of
Borrowing or telephonic notice pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the Agent
shall notify the Lenders by facsimile transmission, telephone or other
similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender
shall make the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the requested
Borrowing available to the Agent in same day funds, to such account of
the Agent as the Agent may designate, not later than Noon (Chicago
time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After the Agent's receipt
of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 10, the Agent
shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the
Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds
equal to the proceeds of such Revolving Loans received by the Agent to
the account of the Borrower, designated in writing by the Borrower;
provided, however, that the amount of Revolving Loans so made on any
date shall in no event exceed the Revolver Availability of the Borrower
on such date.
(ii) Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or
prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the
Closing Date, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such
Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when
required hereunder to the Agent for the account of the Borrower the
amount of that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Agent may
assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in
immediately available funds on the Funding Date and the Agent may (but
shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and
to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available
to the Agent
30
in immediately available funds and the Agent in such circumstances has
made available to the Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the
Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to
the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each
day during such period. A notice of the Agent submitted to any Lender
with respect to amounts owing under this subsection shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made
available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Lender's
Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If
such amount is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day
following the Funding Date, the Agent will notify the Borrower of such
failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay
such amount to the Agent for the Agent's account, together with
interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such
Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable
at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. The failure of any
Lender to make any Loan on any Funding Date shall not relieve any
other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such
Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on
any Funding Date.
(h) Making of BANA Loans.
(i) In the event the Agent shall elect, with the consent
of Bank of America, to have the terms of this Section 2.2(h) apply to
a requested Borrowing as described in Section 2.2(f), Bank of America
shall make a Base Rate Loan in the amount of such Borrowing (any such
Revolving Loan made solely by Bank of America pursuant to this Section
2.2(h) being referred to as a "BANA Loan" and such Revolving Loans
being referred to collectively as "BANA Loans") available to the
Borrower on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring same
day funds to an account of the Borrower, designated in writing by the
Borrower; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of
BANA Loans shall not at any time exceed $10,000,000. Each BANA Loan is
a Revolving Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and
conditions applicable to other Revolving Loans except that all
payments thereon shall be payable to Bank of America solely for its
own account (and for the account of the holder of any participation
interest with respect to such Revolving Loan). The Agent shall not
request Bank of America to make any BANA Loan if (i) the Agent shall
have received written notice from any Lender, or otherwise has actual
knowledge, that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set
forth in Article 10 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding
Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (ii) the requested Borrowing
would exceed the Revolver Availability of the Borrower on such Funding
Date. Bank of America shall not otherwise be required to determine
whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 10
have been satisfied or the requested Borrowing would exceed the
Availability of the Borrower on the Funding Date applicable thereto
prior to making, in its sole discretion, any BANA Loan.
(ii) The BANA Loans shall be repayable on demand and
secured by the Collateral, the Pledged Collateral and the Guarantor
Collateral, shall constitute Revolving Loans and Obligations
hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans from time to time.
31
(i) Agent Advances.
(i) Subject to the limitations set forth in the provisos
contained in this Section 2.2(i), the Agent is hereby authorized by the
Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent's sole
discretion, (x) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default, or (y) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Article 10 have not been satisfied, to make
Revolving Loans to the Borrower on behalf of the Lenders which the
Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or
desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, the Pledged
Collateral and the Guarantor Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to
enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the
Loans and other Obligations, or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable
to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section
15.7 (any of the advances described in this Section 2.2(i) being
hereinafter referred to as "Agent Advances"); provided, that the Agent
shall not make any Agent Advance to the Borrower if the amount thereof
would exceed the Revolver Availability of the Borrower on the Funding
Date applicable thereto; and provided, further, that the Required
Lenders may at any time revoke the Agent's authorization contained in
this Section 2.2(i) to make Agent Advances, any such revocation to be
in writing and to become effective upon the Agent's receipt thereof.
(ii) The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and
secured by the Collateral, the Pledged Collateral and the Guarantor
Collateral, shall constitute Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder,
and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to the Revolving Loans
from time to time. The Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender
in writing of each such Agent Advance.
(j) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender's funded portion
of the Revolving Loan is intended by the Lenders to be equal at all times to
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans.
Notwithstanding such agreement, the Agent, Bank of America, and the other
Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable
by the Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the
Revolving Loans, the BANA Loans and the Agent Advances shall take place on a
periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) The Agent shall request settlement ("Settlement") with
the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so
determined by the Agent, (x) on behalf of Bank of America, with respect
to each outstanding BANA Loan, (y) for itself, with respect to each
Agent Advance, and (z) with respect to collections received by
notifying the Lenders by facsimile transmission, telephone or other
similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later
than Noon (Chicago time) on the date of such requested Settlement (the
"Settlement Date"). Each Lender (other than Bank of America, in the
case of BANA Loans) shall make the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata
Share of the outstanding principal amount of the BANA Loans and Agent
Advances with respect to which Settlement is requested available to the
Agent, for itself or for the account of Bank of America, in same day
funds, to such account of the Agent as the
32
Agent may designate, not later than Noon (Chicago time), on the
Settlement Date applicable thereto, regardless of whether the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 10 have then been
satisfied. Such amounts made available to the Agent shall be applied
against the amounts of the applicable BANA Loan or Agent Advance and,
together with the portion of such BANA Loan or Agent Advance
representing Bank of America's Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute
Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made
available to the Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable
thereto, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand
from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Rate for the first three (3) days from and after the Settlement Date
and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the Revolving
Loans.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1)
Business Day after demand is made by the Agent (whether before or after
the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of
whether the Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to a BANA
Loan or Agent Advance), each other Lender shall irrevocably and
unconditionally purchase and receive from Bank of America or the Agent,
as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation in such BANA Loan or Agent Advance to the extent of such
Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof by paying to the Agent, in same day
funds, an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such BANA
Loan or Agent Advance. If such amount is not in fact made available to
the Agent by any Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such
amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after such
demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the
Revolving Loans.
(iii) From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender
purchases an undivided interest and participation in any BANA Loan or
Agent Advance pursuant to subsection (ii) above, the Agent shall
promptly distribute to such Lender at such address as such Lender may
request in writing, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of all payments of
principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral, Pledged
Collateral and Guarantor Collateral received by the Agent in respect of
such BANA Loan or Agent Advance.
(iv) Between Settlement Dates, the Agent, to the extent no
Agent Advances or BANA Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Bank of
America any payments received by Agent, which in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the
Revolving Loans, for application to Bank of America's Pro Rata Share of
the Revolving Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections
received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been
applied to Bank of America's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans
other than to BANA Loans or Agent Advances, as provided for in the
previous sentence, Bank of America shall pay to the Agent for the
accounts of the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving
Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon
receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata
Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement
Dates, Bank of America with respect to BANA Loans, the Agent with
respect to Agent Advances, and each Lender with respect to the
Revolving Loans other than BANA Loans and Agent Advances, shall be
entitled to
33
interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under the Agreement on
the actual average daily amount of funds employed by Bank of America,
the Agent and the other Lenders.
(k) Notation. The Agent shall record on its books the
principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing to each Lender, including the
BANA Loans owing to Bank of America, and the Agent Advances owing to the Agent,
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 Revolving Loans in its books and records, including computer
records, such books and records constituting rebuttably presumptive evidence,
absent manifest error, of the accuracy of the information contained therein.
(l) Lenders' Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans (other
than BANA Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously
and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no
Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its
obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of
any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other
Lender to perform its obligation to make any Loans hereunder, and (ii) no
failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans
hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any
Revolving Loans hereunder.
2.3 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
2.4 Letters of Credit.
(a) Agreement to Cause Issuance. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, the Agent agrees to take
reasonable steps to cause to be issued for the account of the Borrower and to
provide credit support or other enhancement in connection with one or more
stand-by or merchandise/documentary letters of credit (each such letter of
credit, a "Letter of Credit" and such letters of credit, collectively, the
"Letters of Credit") in accordance with this Section 2.4 from time to time
during the term of this Agreement.
(b) Amounts; Outside Expiration Date. The Agent shall not have any
obligation to take steps to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit at any
time: (i) if the maximum undrawn amount of the requested Letter of Credit is
greater than the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility at such time; (ii) if the
maximum undrawn amount of the requested Letter of Credit and all commissions,
fees, and charges due from the Borrower in connection with the opening thereof
exceed the Revolving Availability of the Borrower at such time; or (iii) which
has an expiration date later than the Stated Termination Date or more than
twelve (12) months from the date of issuance (except with respect to stand-by
Letters of Credit which automatically renew each year).
(c) Other Conditions. In addition to being subject to the
satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent contained in Article 10,
the obligation of the Agent to take reasonable steps to cause to be issued any
Letter of Credit is subject to the following conditions precedent having been
satisfied in a manner satisfactory to the Agent:
34
(i) the Borrower shall have delivered to the proposed issuer of
such Letter of Credit, at such times and in such manner as such proposed issuer
may prescribe, an application in form and substance satisfactory to such
proposed issuer for the issuance of the Letter of Credit and such other
documents as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the form and
terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to the Agent and
such proposed issuer; and
(ii) as of the date of issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator
or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain
money center banks generally from issuing letters of credit of the type and in
the amount of the proposed Letter of Credit, and no law, rule or regulation
applicable to money center banks generally and no request or directive (whether
or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over money center banks generally shall prohibit, or request that
the proposed issuer of such Letter of Credit refrain from, the issuance of
letters of credit generally or the issuance of such Letters of Credit.
(d) Issuance of Letters of Credit.
(i) Request for Issuance. The Borrower shall give the Agent three
(3) Business Days' prior written notice, containing the original signature of
an authorized officer of the Borrower of the Borrower's request for the
issuance of a Letter of Credit. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the
effective date (which date shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such
requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a
single or in partial draws, the date on which such requested Letter of Credit
is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), the purpose for which such
Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the beneficiary of the requested Letter
of Credit. The Borrower shall attach to such notice the proposed form of the
Letter of Credit that the Agent is requested to cause to be issued.
(ii) Responsibilities of the Agent; Issuance. The Agent shall
determine, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the requested effective
date of issuance of the Letter of Credit set forth in the notice from the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4(d)(i), (x) the amount of the applicable Unused
Letter of Credit Subfacility and (y) the Revolver Availability of the Borrower
as of such date. If (x) the undrawn amount of the requested Letter of Credit is
not greater than the applicable Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and (y) the
issuance of such requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and
charges due from the Borrower in connection with the opening thereof would not
exceed the Revolver Availability of the Borrower, the Agent shall take
reasonable steps to cause such issuer to issue the requested Letter of Credit
on such requested effective date of issuance.
(iii) Notice of Issuance. Promptly after the issuance of any Letter
of Credit, the Agent shall give notice to each Lender of the issuance of such
Letter of Credit.
(iv) No Extensions or Amendment. The Agent shall not be obligated
to cause any Letter of Credit to be extended or amended unless the requirements
of this
35
Section 2.4(d) are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested
and issued. With respect to any Letter of Credit which contains any "evergreen"
or automatic renewal provision, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented
to any such extension or renewal unless any such Lender shall have provided to
the Agent, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the last date on which the
applicable issuer can in accordance with the terms of the applicable Letter of
Credit decline to extend or renew such Letter of Credit, written notice that it
declines to consent to any such extension or renewal, provided, that if all of
the requirements of this Section 3.4 are met and no Default or Event of Default
exists, no Lender shall decline to consent to any such extension or renewal.
(e) Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit.
(i) Payment of Letter of Credit Obligations. The Borrower agrees to
reimburse the issuer for any draw under any Letter of Credit immediately upon
demand, and to pay the issuer of the Letter of Credit the amount of all other
obligations and other amounts payable to such issuer under or in connection
with any Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim,
setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against
such issuer or any other Person.
(ii) Revolving Loans to Satisfy Reimbursement Obligations. In the
event that the issuer of any Letter of Credit honors a draw under such Letter
of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the issuer of
such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(i), the Agent shall, upon
receiving notice of such failure, notify each Lender of such failure, and each
Lender shall unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the account of such issuer,
as and when provided hereinbelow, an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata
Share of the amount of such payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the
Agent so notifies the Lenders prior to 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on any
Business Day, each Lender shall make available to the Agent the amount of such
payment, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, on such Business
Day. Such amounts paid by the Lenders to the Agent shall constitute Revolving
Loans which shall be deemed to have been requested by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.2 as set forth in Section 4.7.
(f) Participations.
(i) Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance of any
Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.4(d), each Lender shall be deemed
to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received without recourse
or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the credit support or
enhancement provided through the Agent to such issuer in connection with the
issuance of such Letter of Credit, equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
face amount of such Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all
obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto, and any security therefor or
guaranty pertaining thereto).
(ii) Sharing of Reimbursement Obligation Payments. Whenever the
Agent receives a payment from the Borrower on account of reimbursement
obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit as to which the Agent has
previously received for the account
36
of the issuer thereof payment from a Lender pursuant to Section
2.4(e)(ii), the Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of such payment from the Borrower in Dollars. Each such
payment shall be made by the Agent on the Business Day on which the
Agent receives immediately available funds paid to such Person pursuant
to the immediately preceding sentence, if received prior to 1:00 p.m.
(Chicago time) on such Business Day and otherwise on the next
succeeding Business Day.
(iii) Documentation. Upon the request of any Lender,
the Agent shall furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit,
reimbursement agreements executed in connection therewith, application
for any Letter of Credit and credit support or enhancement provided
through the Agent in connection with the issuance of any Letter of
Credit, and such other documentation as may reasonably by requested by
such Lender.
(iv) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each
Lender to make payments to the Agent with respect to any Letter of
Credit or with respect to any credit support or enhancement provided
through the Agent with respect to a Letter of Credit, and the
obligations of the Borrower to make payments to the Agent, for the
account of the Lenders, shall be irrevocable, not subject to any
qualification or exception whatsoever, including, without limitation,
any of the following circumstances:
(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
(B) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense
or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a
beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter
of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting),
any Lender, the Agent, the issuer of such Letter of Credit, or any
other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated
transactions (including any underlying transactions between the
Borrower or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any Letter of
Credit);
(C) any draft, certificate or any other
document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(D) the surrender or impairment of any security
for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the
Loan Documents; or
(E) the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default.
(g) Recovery or Avoidance of Payments. In the event any
payment by or on behalf of the Borrower received by the Agent with respect to
any Letter of Credit (or any guaranty by the Borrower or reimbursement
obligation of the Borrower relating thereto) and distributed by the Agent to
the Lenders on account of their respective participations therein is thereafter
set aside, avoided or recovered from the Agent in connection with any
receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, the Lenders shall, upon
demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent their respective Pro Rata Shares of such
amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together
37
with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Agent upon the
amount required to be repaid by it.
(h) Compensation for Letters of Credit.
(i) Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to
the Agent with respect to each Letter of Credit, for the account of the
Lenders, the Letter of Credit Fee specified in, and in accordance with
the terms of, Section 3.6.
(ii) Issuer Fees and Charges. The Borrower shall pay to
the issuer of any Letter of Credit, or to the Agent, for the account of
the issuer of any such Letter of Credit, solely for such issuer's
account, such fees and other charges as are charged by such issuer for
letters of credit issued by it, including, without limitation, its
standard fees for issuing, administering, amending, renewing, paying
and canceling letters of credit and all other fees associated with
issuing or servicing letters of credit, as and when assessed.
(i) Indemnification; Exoneration.
(i) Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as
elsewhere provided in this Section 2.4, the Borrower hereby agrees to
protect, indemnify, pay and save the Lenders and the Agent harmless
from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages,
losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) which any Lender or the Agent may incur or be subject to as a
consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of
Credit or the provision of any credit support or enhancement in
connection therewith.
(ii) Assumption of Risk by the Borrower. As among the
Borrower, the Lenders, and the Agent, the Borrower assumes all risks of
the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit
by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the
provisions of the applications for the issuance of Letters of Credit,
the Lenders and the Agent shall not be responsible for: (A) the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any
document submitted by any Person in connection with the application for
and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any of the
Letters of Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or
benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may
prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) the failure of
the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions
required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors,
omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any
messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile transmission or
otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in
interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order make a
drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the
misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the
proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (H) any
consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Lenders or
the Agent,
38
including, without limitation, any act or omission, whether rightful or
wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental
Authority. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the
vesting of any rights or powers of the Agent or any Lender under this
Section 2.4(i).
(iii) Exoneration. In furtherance and extension, and
not in limitation, of the specific provisions set forth above, any
action taken or omitted by the Agent or any Lender under or in
connection with any of the Letters of Credit or any related
certificates, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct, shall not put the Agent or any Lender under any
resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of
its obligations hereunder to any such Person.
(j) Supporting Letter of Credit; Cash Collateral. If,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(b) any Letter of Credit is
outstanding upon the termination of this Agreement, then upon such termination
the Borrower shall deposit with the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding, as the
Majority Lenders, in their discretion shall specify, either (x) a standby
letter of credit (a "Supporting Letter of Credit") in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent, issued by an issuer satisfactory to the Agent in an
amount equal to the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit may be
drawn, under which Supporting Letter of Credit the Agent is entitled to draw
amounts necessary to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for payments made by
the Agent and the Lenders under such Letter of Credit or under any credit
support or enhancement provided through the Agent with respect thereto, or (y)
cash in an amount equal to the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit
may be drawn, which amounts shall be used to reimburse the Agent and the
Lenders for payments made by the Agent or the Lenders under such Letter of
Credit or under any credit support or enhancement provided through the Agent
with respect thereto. Such Supporting Letter of Credit or deposit of cash shall
be held by the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as security for,
and to provide for the payment of, the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters
of Credit remaining outstanding.
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
39
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. (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 (3) 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;
40
(iii) the type of Loans resulting from the proposed
conversion or continuation; and
(iv) the duration of the requested Interest Period.
(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.
(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 (5) 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 $315,000 (the "Closing Fee")
41
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").
3.5 Unused Line Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay, on the first day of
each month and on the Termination Date, to the Agent, for the ratable account
of the Lenders, an unused line fee equal to three-eighth's of one percent
(.375%) per annum on the average daily amount by which the Maximum Amount
exceeded the sum of the average daily outstanding amount of Loans and the
undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, during the immediately
preceding month or shorter period if calculated on the Termination Date. The
unused line fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual
number of days elapsed. All payments received by the Agent on account of
Accounts or as proceeds of other Collateral shall be deemed to be credited to
the Borrower's Loan Account immediately upon receipt for purposes of
calculating the unused line fee pursuant to this Section 3.5.
3.6 Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for
the ratable account of the Lenders, for each Letter of Credit, a fee (the
"Letter of Credit Fee") equal to two percent (2%) per annum of the undrawn
amount of each Letter of Credit issued for the Borrower's account at the
Borrower's request (which fee includes a "fronting fee" required to be paid by
the Agent to such issuer for the assumption of the settlement risk in
connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit), plus all out-of-pocket
costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the
application for, issuance of, or amendment to any Letter of Credit. The Letter
of Credit Fee shall be payable in advance monthly, on the first day of each
month during which each such Letter of Credit remains outstanding. The Letter
of Credit Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual
number of days elapsed.
3.7 Audit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, solely for its
own account, all costs and fees reasonably incurred by the Agent's internal
auditors in connection with audits of the Borrower performed by such auditors
during the term of this Agreement; provided, that so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and so long as Revolver Availability
exceeds $15,000,000, the Agent shall not be entitled to reimbursement for any
such costs and fees incurred in connection with audits in excess of three (3)
per year, it being understood and agreed that so long as Revolver Availability
is less than $15,000,000, the Agent shall at any time be permitted to conduct,
and be reimbursed for, up to four (4) audits per year upon prior written notice
from the Agent to the Borrower and so long as an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing no such limitation on reimbursement shall apply. Each auditor
of the Agent shall be billed at a rate of $500 per day plus reasonably incurred
out-of-pocket expenses (including travel expenses).
ARTICLE 4
PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS
4.1 Repayment of Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans, plus all accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, on the Termination Date. The Borrower may prepay
Revolving Loans at any time, and reborrow subject to the terms of this
Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans prepaid
by the Borrower prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable
42
thereto, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lenders the amounts described in
Section 5.4. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
upon demand the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, the amount, without duplication, by which the sum of outstanding
Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of Pending Revolving Loans, the aggregate
undrawn amounts of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the amount of all
unpaid reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit exceeds
the Revolver Availability.
4.2 Termination of Facility. The Borrower may terminate this Agreement
upon at least ten (10) Business Days' notice to the Agent and the Lenders, upon
(i) the payment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with
accrued interest thereon, and the cancellation of all outstanding Letters of
Credit, (ii) the payment of the early termination fee set forth in the next
sentence, (iii) the payment in full in cash of all other Obligations together
with accrued interest thereon, and (iv) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans
prepaid in connection with such termination prior to the expiration date of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, the payment of the amounts described in
Section 5.4.
4.3 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
4.4 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
4.5 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
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 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.
43
4.7 Payments as Revolving Loans. All payments of principal, interest,
reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit, fees, premiums
and other sums payable hereunder, including all reimbursement for expenses
pursuant to Section 15.7, may, at the option of the Agent, in its sole
discretion, subject only to the terms of this Section 4.7, be paid from the
proceeds of Revolving Loans made hereunder, whether made following a request by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2 or a deemed request as provided in this
Section 4.7. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to charge the
Loan Account for the purpose of paying principal, interest, reimbursement
obligations in connection with Letters of Credit, fees, premiums and other sums
payable hereunder, including reimbursing expenses pursuant to Section 15.7, and
agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Revolving Loans
(including BANA Loans and Agent Advances) and that all such Revolving Loans so
made shall be deemed to have been requested by Borrower pursuant to Section
2.2.
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 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 Term Agent
from the Borrower under this Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement; second, to
pay, pro rata, any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders and
the Term Lenders from the Borrower under this Agreement, the Term Loan
Agreement and the Loan Agreements; third, to pay, pro rata, interest due in
respect of all Revolving Loans, including BANA Loans, Agent Advances and Term
Loans; fourth, to pay or prepay, pro rata, principal of the BANA Loans and the
Agent Advances, Revolving Loans, unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of
Letters of Credit and Term Loans; and fifth, to the payment, pro rata, of any
other Obligation or Term Loan Obligation due to the Agent, the Term Agent, any
Lender or any Term 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 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,
subject to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.2(j). 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 Term Loan 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
44
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 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.
(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.
45
(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 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
46
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;
(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.
47
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;
(iv) all General Intangibles;
(v) all Equipment;
(vi) all Fixtures;
48
(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 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) 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.
(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
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
49
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 eligible for the purpose of calculating the
Revolving Availability or 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 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
50
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; and for all leased
locations as to which waiver letters have not been obtained, the Inventory at
those leased locations shall not constitute Eligible Inventory.
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 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
51
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 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.
52
6.7 Collateral Reporting. The Borrower shall provide the Agent with the
following documents at the following times in form satisfactory to the Agent:
(i) on a weekly basis, separate Borrowing Base Certificates with respect to the
Borrower and LDM Canada, in each case together with a schedule of credit memos
and reports, a schedule of collections of accounts receivable, a schedule of
Accounts created since the last such schedule; provided that such reporting
requirements shall be more frequent, as specified by Agent, if Revolver
Availability is less than $15,000,000; (ii) on a monthly basis, or more
frequently if requested by the Agent, a schedule of the Accounts created since
the last such schedule; (iii) on a monthly basis, an aging of the Accounts,
together with a reconciliation to the previous months aging of the Accounts and
to the Borrower's and LDM Canada's general ledger; (iv) on a monthly basis, an
aging of the Borrower's and LDM Canada's accounts payable; (v) on a monthly
basis (or more frequently if requested by the Agent), Inventory reports by
category, with additional detail showing additions to and deletions from the
Inventory; (vi) upon request, copies of invoices in connection with the
Borrower's and LDM Canada's Accounts, customer statements, credit memos,
remittance advices and reports, deposit slips, shipping and delivery documents
in connection with the Borrower's Accounts and for Inventory and Equipment
acquired by the Borrower or LDM Canada, purchase orders and invoices; (vii) on
a monthly basis, a statement of the balance of each of the Intercompany
Accounts as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month; (viii)
such other 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; and (ix) with the delivery of each of the foregoing,
a certificate of an officer of the Borrower certifying as to the accuracy and
completeness of the foregoing. If any of the Borrower's or LDM Canada's records
or reports of the Collateral or Guarantor Collateral are prepared by an
accounting service or other agent, the Borrower hereby authorizes such service
or agent to deliver such records, reports, and related documents to the Agent,
for distribution to the Lenders.
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
53
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.
(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. Whenever any Inventory is returned, the related Account shall be
deemed ineligible to the extent of the amount owing by the Account Debtor with
respect to such returned Inventory.
6.9 Collection of Accounts; Payments.
54
(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 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
55
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.
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
56
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 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
57
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
and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that (i) all documents, instruments,
and chattel paper describing, evidencing, or constituting Collateral, Pledged
Collateral or Guarantor Collateral, as the case may be, and all signatures and
endorsements thereon, are and will be complete, valid, and genuine, and (ii) all
goods evidenced by such documents, instruments, and chattel paper are and will
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
and shall cause each Guarantor to deliver to the Agent, at the Closing Date, and
thereafter, promptly upon obtaining possession thereof, the originals of all
instruments and chattel paper received by the Borrower or such Guarantor.
6.14 Right to Cure. The Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, at the
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 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 herein provided.
6.15 Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby appoints the Agent and the
Agent's designee as the Borrower's attorney, with power: (i) to endorse the
Borrower's name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, or other forms
of payment or security that come into the Agent's or any Lender's possession;
(ii) to sign the Borrower's name on any invoice, ▇▇▇▇ of lading, warehouse
receipt or other document of title relating to any Collateral, on drafts
against customers, on assignments of Accounts, on notices of assignment,
financing statements and other public records; (iii) to notify the post office
authorities, when an Event of Default exists, to change the address for
delivery of the Borrower's mail to an address designated by the Agent and to
receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to the Borrower; (iv) to send
requests for verification of Accounts to customers or Account Debtors; (v) to
clear Inventory, the purchase of which was financed with Letters of Credit,
through customs in the Borrower's name, the Agent's name or the name of the
Agent's designee, and to sign and deliver to customs officials powers of
attorney in the 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
58
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.
6.16 The Agent's and Lenders' Rights, Duties and Liabilities. The
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 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, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms,
grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and
take or omit 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.
6.17 Effect of Amendment and Restatement on Article 6. As of the
Closing Date, the provisions of this Article 6 shall be deemed to amend and
restate Article 6 of the Prior Credit Agreement; provided, that the obligations
of, and the security interests and Liens granted by, the Borrower, LDM Canada
or any Guarantor under the Prior Credit Agreement shall survive and be
continuing in accordance with the terms hereof.
ARTICLE 7
BOOKS AND RECORDS: FINANCIAL INFORMATION: NOTICES
7.1 Books and Records. The Borrower shall and shall cause each
Subsidiary to maintain, at all times, correct and complete books, records and
accounts in which complete, correct and timely entries are made of their
respective transactions in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the
audited Financial Statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section
7.2(a). The Borrower shall and shall cause each Subsidiary to, by means of
appropriate entries, reflect in such accounts and in all Financial Statements
proper liabilities and reserves for all taxes and proper provision for
depreciation and amortization of property and bad debts, all in accordance with
GAAP. The Borrower shall and shall cause each Subsidiary to maintain at all
times books and records pertaining to the Collateral, Pledged Collateral and
Guarantor Collateral in such detail, form and scope as the Agent or any Lender
shall reasonably require, including, but
59
not limited to, records of (a) all payments received and all credits and
extensions granted with respect to the Accounts; (b) the return, rejections,
repossession, stoppage in transit, loss, damage, or destruction of any
Inventory; and (c) all other dealings affecting the Collateral, Pledged
Collateral and Guarantor Collateral.
7.2 Financial Information. The Borrower shall promptly furnish to the
Agent (and the Agent shall supply each Lender with a copy of) all such
financial information as the Agent or any Lender shall reasonably request, and
notify its auditors and accountants that the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders,
is authorized to obtain such information directly from them. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Borrower will furnish to the Agent, in sufficient copies for
distribution by the Agent to each Lender, in such detail as the Agent or the
Lenders shall request, the following:
(a) As soon as available, but in any event not later than
ninety (90) days after the close of each Fiscal Year, consolidated
audited and consolidating audited balance sheets, and statements of
income and expense, cash flow and of stockholders' equity for the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year and separate
unaudited consolidated financial statements (as described above) for
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, for such Fiscal Year prepared by the
Borrower's outside auditors, in each case, with the accompanying notes
thereto, setting forth in each case in comparative form figures for the
previous Fiscal Year, all in reasonable detail, fairly presenting the
financial position and the results of operations of the Borrower and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the date thereof and for the Fiscal
Year then ended, and prepared in accordance with GAAP. Such statements
shall be examined in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards by and, in the case of such statements performed on a
consolidated basis, accompanied by a report thereon unqualified as to
scope of independent certified public accountants selected by the
Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Borrower,
simultaneously with retaining such independent public accountants to
conduct such annual audit, shall send a letter to such accountants,
with a copy to the Agent and the Lenders, notifying such accountants
that one of the primary purposes for retaining such accountants'
services and having audited financial statements prepared by them is
for use by the Agent and the Lenders.
(b) As soon as available, but in any event not later than
thirty (30) days after the end of each month, consolidated and
consolidating unaudited balance sheets of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries (and of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries)
as at the end of such month, and consolidated and consolidating
unaudited statements of income and expense and cash flow for the

its Subsidiaries) for such month and for the period from the beginning
of the Fiscal Year to the end of such month, all in reasonable detail,
fairly presenting the financial position and results of operations of

and/or Eligible Inventory used in computing Revolver Availability, or reduce
one or more of the other elements used in computing Revolver Availability; (ii)

following, in addition to the actions described in the preceding sentence, at
any time or times and in any order, without notice to or demand on the Borrower
or any 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),

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 Agent at a place
reasonably convenient to the Agent; and (iii) the Agent may sell and deliver
any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise,
at such prices and upon such terms as the Agent deems 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
84
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 payment, the Agent may resell the
Collateral without further notice to the Borrower. In the event the Agent seeks
to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by judicial process,
the Borrower irrevocably waives: (a) the 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 or final judgment. The Borrower
agrees that the Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or
marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. The Agent is hereby
granted a license or other right to use, without 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
replevy, 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 the Borrower
shall not prohibit, restrict or otherwise affect the validity of 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.
Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all Obligations are
indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash, the Borrower shall remain
bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall not be relieved of any of its
Obligations hereunder, and the Agent and the Lenders shall retain all their
rights and remedies hereunder (including, without limitation, the Agent's Liens
in and all rights and remedies with respect to all then existing and
after-arising Collateral).

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
to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by the Agent or the Lenders on any
occasion shall affect or diminish the Agent's and each Lender's rights
thereafter to require strict performance by the Borrower of any provision of

be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Agent or
any Lender may have.

this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be
in writing and signed by the Majority Lenders (or by the Agent at the written
request of the Majority Lenders) and the Borrower and then any such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders and the Borrower
and acknowledged by the Agent, do any of the following:

herein on any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any

86
13.3 Assignments; Participations.
(a) Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent,
assign and delegate to one or more assignees (provided that no written consent
of the Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation
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 Term Loan 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 E ("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,
including, but not limited to, the obligation to participate in credit support
or other enhancement for Letters of Credit hereunder 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, 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
87
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) 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 Term Loan 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 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 any 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 $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
88
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, (a) the determination of the
applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the
Revolver Availability, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section
2.2(i), and (c) 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
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
89
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 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
90
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
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
91
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.
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
92
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); (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 14.1 l(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
93
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 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
94
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 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 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;
95
(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 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 LAWS (AS
OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS PROVIDED THAT PERFECTION ISSUES WITH
RESPECT TO ARTICLE 9 OF THE UCC MAY GIVE EFFECT TO APPLICABLE CHOICE OR CONFLICT
OF LAW RULES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 9 OF THE UCC) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS;
PROVIDED THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER
FEDERAL LAW.
96
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE
OF ILLINOIS OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, AND
BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE
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
OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER
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
THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED
OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.
(c) THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL
PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY
REGISTERED MAIL (RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) DIRECTED TO THE BORROWER AT ITS
ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 15.8 AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE
COMPLETED FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO DEPOSITED IN THE U.S.
MAILS. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF AGENT OR THE LENDERS
TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS BY ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
(d) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO
THE CONTRARY, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY CLAIM BASED ON OR ARISING FROM AN ALLEGED TORT,
SHALL AT THE REQUEST OF EITHER PARTY HERETO BE DETERMINED BY ARBITRATION. The
arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the United States Arbitration
Act (Title 9, U.S. Code), notwithstanding any choice of law provision in this
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
institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuant to a
provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of
either party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to
arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.
97
(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 property collateral (exclusive of real estate space lease
assignments). If all 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. (a) SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION
15.3(d), THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER
LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR
ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO
CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE
AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A
COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER
AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF
THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN
WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS
TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(b) THE BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT AGAINST AGENT
OR ANY LENDER ANY CLAIM FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR
98
ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY.
15.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the Borrower's
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the
execution, delivery, and acceptance thereof by the parties, notwithstanding any
investigation by the Agent or the Lenders or their respective agents.
15.6 Other Security and Guaranties. The Agent, may, without notice or
demand and without affecting the Borrower's obligations hereunder, from time to
time: (a) take from any Person and hold collateral (other than the Collateral)
for the payment of all or any part of the Obligations and exchange, enforce or
release such collateral or any part thereof; and (b) accept and hold any
endorsement or guaranty of payment of all or any part of the Obligations and
release or substitute any such endorser or guarantor, or any Person who has
given any Lien in any other collateral as security for the payment of all or any
part of the Obligations, or any other Person in any way obligated to pay all or
any part of the Obligations.

its benefit, on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses that Agent pays or
incurs in connection with the negotiation, preparation, consummation,
administration, enforcement, and termination of this Agreement, including,
without limitation: (a) Attorney Costs; (b) costs and expenses (including

or take any action required of the Borrower under the Loan Documents that the
Borrower fails to pay or take; (f) costs of appraisals, inspections, and

Collateral, Pledged Collateral and Guarantor Collateral, and the Borrower's
operations by the Agent's and each of the Lenders' agents plus the Agent's then
customary charge for field examinations and audits and the preparation of
reports thereof (such charge is currently $500 per day (or portion thereof) for
each agent or employee of the Agent with respect to each field examination or
audit); (g) costs and expenses of forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks
and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining Payment Accounts
and lock boxes; (h) costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the

matters). The foregoing shall not be construed to limit any other provisions of
the Loan Documents
99
regarding costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower. All of the foregoing
costs and expenses shall be charged to the Borrower's Loan Account as Revolving
Loans as described in Section 4.7.

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
to which it might otherwise be entitled. No notice to or demand on the Borrower
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.
15.11 Indemnity of the Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower. The

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 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.

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

15.13 Amendment and Restatement.
(a) This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the
Prior Credit Agreement and, upon effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and
provisions of the Prior Credit Agreement shall, subject to this Section 15.13,
be superseded hereby.
(b) All references to the "Credit Agreement" contained in the
Loan Documents delivered in connection with the Prior Credit Agreement shall be
deemed to refer to this Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Prior
Credit Agreement by this Agreement, the Revolving Loans and all other
Obligations owing to the Lenders by the Borrower under the Prior Credit
Agreement shall constitute continuing Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and
shall continue to be secured by the Collateral.
(d) The Revolving Loans and all other Obligations owed to the
Lenders by the Borrower under the Prior Credit 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 Revolving Loans or such other
Obligations. Upon the effective date of this Agreement, all Revolving Loans and
all other Obligations owed to the Lenders by the Borrower under the Prior Credit
Agreement shall automatically be deemed to be Revolving Loans or other
Obligations hereunder and all Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Prior
Credit Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been issued hereunder.
(e) In furtherance of and without limiting the foregoing, from
and after the Closing Date, the terms, conditions, and covenants governing the
Revolving Loans and all other Obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement shall
be solely as set forth in this Agreement, which shall supersede the Prior Credit
Agreement in its entirety (provided that all rights to indemnification of the
Lenders arising pursuant to the Prior Credit Agreement shall survive the
amendment and restatement of the Prior Credit 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,
102
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.
