made and the date such Advance is to be made by said Revolving Credit Bank
pursuant to its Percentage of the Revolving Credit Advance. Unless such
Revolving Credit Bank's commitment to make Revolving Credit Advances hereunder

Detroit Center, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ not later
than 3:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance.
23
32
(b) Subject to submission of a Request for Revolving Credit
Advance delivered in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof by Company without
exceptions noted in the compliance certification therein and to the other terms
and conditions hereof, Agent shall make available to Company the aggregate of
the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Banks under this
Section 2.4, in like funds, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date
of such Revolving Credit Advance by credit to an account of Company maintained
with Agent or to such other account or third party as Company may reasonably
direct.
(c) Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving
Credit Bank prior to the date of any proposed Revolving Credit Advance that
such Revolving Credit Bank does not intend to make available to Agent such
Revolving Credit Bank's Percentage of the Revolving Credit Advance, Agent may
assume that such Revolving Credit Bank has made such amount available to Agent
on such date, as aforesaid and may, in its sole discretion and without
obligation to do so, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to
Agent by such Revolving Credit Bank in accordance with Section 2.4(a), as
aforesaid, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Revolving Credit Bank. If such Revolving Credit Bank does not pay such amount
forthwith upon Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify
Company, and Company shall pay such amount to Agent. Agent shall also be
entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Bank or from Company, as the
case may be but without duplication, interest on such amount in respect of each
day from the date such amount was made available by Agent to Company to the
date such amount is recovered by Agent, at a rate per annum equal to:
(i) in the case of such Revolving Credit Bank, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first two (2)
Business Days such amount remains unpaid and at the
rate of interest applicable to the Revolving Credit
Advances thereafter; or
(ii) in the case of Company, the rate of interest then
applicable to the Revolving Credit Advance.
The obligation of any Revolving Credit Bank to make any Revolving
Credit Advance hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any
other Revolving Credit Bank to make any Revolving Credit Advance
hereunder, and no Bank shall have any liability to the Company, the
Agent, any other Bank, or any other party for another Bank's failure
to make any loan or Revolving Credit Advance hereunder.
2.5 Prime-based Advance in Absence of Election or Upon Default. If, as
to any outstanding Eurocurrency-based Advance, Agent has not received payment
on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or does not receive
a timely Request for Revolving Credit Advance meeting the requirements of
Section 2.3 hereof with respect to the refunding or conversion of such Advance,
or, subject to Section 5.6 hereof, if on such day a Default or Event of Default
shall
24
33
exist, the principal amount thereof which is not then prepaid shall be
converted automatically to a Prime-based Advance and the Agent shall thereafter
promptly notify Company of said action.
2.6 Revolving Credit Commitment Fee. From the Effective Date to the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Agent on behalf of
Banks a Revolving Credit Commitment Fee quarterly in arrears commencing April
1, 1998 (in respect of the prior calendar quarter or portion thereof), and on
the first day of each Fiscal Quarter thereafter. The Revolving Credit
Commitment Fee shall be the sum of the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage
times the daily average amount by which the Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment then applicable under Section 2.6 hereof exceeds the sum of (i) the
aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances outstanding during such
period, (ii) the Letter of Credit Obligations during such period, and (iii) the
aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding during such
period, in each case determined on a daily basis. The Revolving Credit
Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty
(360) days and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any
payment of the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee shall be due on a day which is
not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
Business Day. Upon receipt of such payment, Agent shall make prompt payment to
each Bank of its share of the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee based upon its
respective Percentage. It is expressly understood that the Revolving Credit
Commitment Fees described in this Section are not refundable under any
circumstances.
2.7 Reduction of Indebtedness; Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment.
(a) If at any time and for any reason the aggregate principal amount of Swing
Line Advances and Revolving Credit Advances hereunder to Company, plus the
Letter of Credit Obligations which shall be outstanding at such time, shall
exceed the lesser of the then applicable (i) Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment then in effect or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Company shall immediately
reduce any pending request for an Advance on such day by the amount of such
excess and, to the extent any excess remains thereafter, immediately repay an
amount of the Indebtedness equal to such excess and, to the extent such
Indebtedness consists of Letter of Credit Obligations, provide cash collateral
on the basis set forth in Section 10.2 hereof. Company acknowledges that, in
connection with any repayment required hereunder, it shall also be responsible
for the reimbursement of any prepayment or other costs required under Section
12.1 hereof; provided, however, that Company shall, in order to reduce any such
prepayment costs and expenses, first prepay such portion of the Indebtedness
then carried as a Prime-based Advance, if any.
(b) Immediately upon receipt by the Company or any Subsidiary of any
net cash proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Company shall prepay the principal
amount of Advances outstanding on such day by the amount of such net cash
proceeds. To the extent that, on the date any mandatory reduction of
outstanding Advances under this Section 2.7 is due, the outstanding Advances
are being carried being carried, in whole or in part, at the Eurocurrency-based
Rate and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Company shall first repay Advances being carried at the Prime-based rate, and
then the Company may deposit the amount of such mandatory repayment in a cash
collateral account to be held by the Agent, for and on behalf
25
34
of the Banks (which shall be an interest-bearing account), on such terms and
conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Agent and the Majority Banks.
Subject to the terms and conditions of said cash collateral account, sums on
deposit in said cash collateral account shall be applied (until exhausted) to
reduce the principal balance of the Eurocurrency-based Advances on the last day
of each Interest Period attributable to such Eurocurrency-based Advances.
2.8 Optional Reduction or Termination of Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment. The Company may, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior
written notice to Agent, permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, without premium
or penalty, provided that: (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit
Aggregate Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount equal to at least Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or a larger integral multiple of One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000); (ii) each reduction shall be accompanied by the payment
of the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee, if any, accrued to the date of such
reduction; (iii) the Company shall prepay in accordance with the terms hereof
the amount, if any, by which the sum of the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of Swing Line Advances and Revolving Credit Advances, plus the Letter of Credit
Obligations, exceeds the lesser of (1) the then applicable Revolving Credit
Aggregate Commitment, taking into account the aforesaid reductions thereof,
together with accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount of such
prepaid Advances to the date of prepayment and (2) Borrowing Base; and (iv) no
reduction shall reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment
to an amount which is less than the Letter of Credit Obligations at such time.
Reductions of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and any accompanying
prepayments of the Revolving Credit Notes shall be distributed by Agent to each
Revolving Credit Bank in accordance with such Bank's Percentage thereof, and
will not be available for reinstatement by or readvance to the Company and any
accompanying prepayments of the Swing Line Notes shall be distributed by Agent
to the Swing Line Bank and will not be available for reinstatement by or
readvance to the Company. Any reductions of the Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment hereunder shall reduce each Revolving Credit Bank's portion thereof
proportionately (based upon the applicable Percentages), and shall be permanent
and irrevocable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section shall be applied
first to outstanding Prime-based Advances under the Revolving Credit, next to
Swing Line Advances which bear interest at the Prime-based Rate, next to Quoted
Rate Advances and then to Eurocurrency-based Advances. Company acknowledges
that, in connection with any repayment required hereunder, it shall also be
responsible for the reimbursement of any prepayment or other costs required
under Section 12.1 hereof; provided, however, that Company shall, in order to
reduce any such prepayment costs and expenses, first prepay such portion of the
Indebtedness then carried as a Prime-based Advance, if any.
2.9 Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date. (a) Provided that no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Company may, by
written notice to Agent (with sufficient copies for each Bank) (which notice
shall be irrevocable and which shall not be deemed effective unless actually
received by Agent) prior to 60 days prior to Anniversary Date of fiscal years
1999 and/or 2000, as the case may be, request that the Banks extend the then
applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date to a date that is one year later than
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date then in effect (each such request, a
"Request"). Each Bank shall, not later than thirty (30) calendar days following
26
35
the date of its receipt of the Request, give written notice to the Agent
stating whether such Bank is willing to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date as requested. If Agent has received the aforesaid written approvals of
such Request from each of the Banks, then, effective upon the date of Agent's
receipt of all such written approvals from the Banks, as aforesaid, the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be so extended for an additional one year
period, the term Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall mean such extended date
and Agent shall promptly notify the Company that such extension has occurred.
In no event however, shall the Revolving Credit Maturity Date be extended
beyond February 26, 2003.
(b) If (i) any Bank gives the Agent written notice that it is
unwilling to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as requested or (ii) any
Bank fails to provide written approval to Agent of such a Request within thirty
(30) calendar days of the date of such Bank's receipt of the Request, then (w)
the Banks shall be deemed to have declined to extend the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date, (x) the then-current Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall remain
in effect (with no further right on the part of Company to request extensions
thereof under this Section 2.9), and (y) the commitments of the Banks to make
Advances of the Revolving Credit hereunder shall terminate on the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date then in effect, and Agent shall promptly notify Company
thereof.
2.10 Optional Increase in Commitment. Provided that no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and provided that the Company
has not previously elected to reduce or terminate the Revolving Credit
Aggregate Commitment under Section 2.8 hereof, the Company may request up to
two increases in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment in an aggregate
amount for such increases not to exceed the Revolving Credit Optional Increase,
subject, in each case, to Section 12.1 hereof and to the satisfaction
concurrently with or prior to the date of each such request of the following
conditions:
(a) the Company shall have delivered to the Agent at any time
during the period beginning on the Effective Date and expiring one
hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date a written request
for such increase, specifying the amount of Revolving Credit Optional
Increase thereby requested (each such request, a "Request for
Increase"); provided, however that in the event the Company has
previously delivered a Request for Increase pursuant to this Section
2.10, the Company may not deliver a subsequent Request for Increase
until all the conditions to effectiveness of such first Request for
Increase have been fully satisfied hereunder;
(b) a lender or lenders acceptable to the Company and the Agent
(the "New Bank(s)") shall have become a party to this Agreement by
executing and delivering a New Bank Addendum for a minimum amount for
each such New Bank of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) and an
aggregate amount for all such New Banks of that portion of the
Revolving Credit Optional Increase, taking into account the amount of
any prior increase in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment
pursuant to this Section 2.10), covered by the applicable request,
provided, however that each New Bank shall remit to the Agent funds
27
36
in an amount equal to its Percentage (after giving effect to this
Section 2.10) of all Advances of the Revolving Credit then
outstanding, such sums to be reallocated among and paid to the
existing Banks based upon the new Percentages as determined below;
(c) The Company shall have paid to the Agent for distribution
to the existing Banks, as applicable, all interest, fees (including
the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee) and other amounts, if any,
accrued to the effective date of such increase and any breakage fees
attributable to the reduction (prior to the last day of the applicable
Interest Period) of any outstanding Eurocurrency-based Advances,
calculated on the basis set forth in Section 12.1 hereof as though
Company has prepaid such Advances;
(d) The Company shall have executed and delivered to the
Agent new Revolving Credit Notes payable to each of the New Banks in
the face amount of each such New Bank's Percentage of the Revolving
Credit Aggregate Commitment (after giving effect to this Section 2.10)
and, if applicable, renewal and replacement Revolving Credit Notes
payable to each of each of the existing Banks in the face amount of
each such Bank's Percentage of the Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment (after giving effect to this Section 2.10), each of such
Revolving Credit Notes to be substantially in the form of Exhibit B
hereto and dated as of the effective date of such increase (with
appropriate insertions relevant to such notes and acceptable to the
applicable Bank (including the New Banks));
(e) Except as disclosed pursuant to Section 7.20, there shall
have been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise), properties, business, results or operations of Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, from the condition shown in the financial
information delivered to Agent on or before the Effective Date; nor
shall any omission, inconsistency, inaccuracy, or any change in
presentation or accounting standards which renders such financial
statements materially misleading have been determined by Agent to
exist; and
(f) Such other amendments, acknowledgments, supplemental
legal opinions, consents, instruments, any registrations, if any,
shall have been executed and delivered and/or obtained by Company with
respect to the Collateral as required by Agent, in its reasonable
discretion.
Promptly on or after the date on which all of the conditions to such Request

increase has become effective and shall prepare and distribute to Company and

Agreement setting forth the applicable new Percentages of the Banks (including
the New Bank), taking into account such increase and assignments (if any).

interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority
charged with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or
cause to be deemed applicable any reserve, special deposit, limitation or
similar requirement against letters of credit issued by or participated in, or
assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, Issuing Bank or any Bank
or (ii) impose on Issuing Bank or any of the Banks any other condition
regarding this Agreement or the Letters of Credit, and the result of any event
referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be to increase in an amount
deemed material by Issuing Bank or such Bank the cost or expense to Issuing
Bank or the Banks of issuing or maintaining or participating in any of the
Letters of Credit (which increase in cost or expense shall be determined by the
Issuing Bank's or such Bank's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such
cost increases and expense resulting from such events), then, upon demand by
the Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, the Company shall, within
thirty days following demand for payment, pay to Issuing Bank or such Bank, as
the case may be, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Bank or such
Bank, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing
Bank or such Bank for such increased cost and expense, together with interest
on each such amount from thirty days after the date demanded until payment in
full thereof at the Prime-based Rate. A certificate as to such increased cost
or expense incurred by the Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, as a
result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or (ii) above, shall be promptly
submitted to the Company and shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest
error, as to the amount thereof.
(d) All payments by the Company to the Agent for distribution to
the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Credit Banks under this Section 3.4 shall be
made in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the principal office of
the Agent or such other office of the Agent as may be designated from time to
time by written notice to the Company by the Agent. The fees described in
clause (a) above shall be nonrefundable under all circumstances and shall be
payable annually in advance (or such lesser period, if applicable, for Letters
of Credit issued with stated expiration dates of less than one year) upon the
issuance of each such Letter of Credit, and shall be calculated on the basis of
a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days from the date of the
issuance thereof to the stated expiration thereof.
31
40
3.5 Other Letter of Credit Fees. In connection with the Letters of
Credit, and in addition to the Letter of Credit Fees, the Company and the
applicable Account Party shall pay, for the sole account of the Issuing Bank,
standard documentation, administration, payment and cancellation charges
assessed by Issuing Bank or its Issuing Office, at the times, in the amounts
and on the terms set forth or to be set forth from time to time in the standard
fee schedule of Issuing Office in effect from time to time.
3.6 Draws and Demands for Payment Under Letters of Credit.
(a) The Company and each applicable Account Party agree to pay to
the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, on the day on which the Issuing
Bank shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under
any Letter of Credit, an amount equal to the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in
respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter of Credit and all
reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Issuing Bank relative thereto.
Unless the Company or the applicable Account Party shall have made such payment
to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such day, upon each such
payment by the Issuing Bank, the Agent shall be deemed to have disbursed to the
Company, and the Company shall be deemed to have elected to substitute for its
Reimbursement Obligation, a Prime-based Advance from the Banks in an amount
equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such draft or
other demand under such Letter of Credit. Such Prime-based Advance shall be
disbursed notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any conditions for
disbursement of any Advance set forth in Article 2 hereof and, to the extent of
the Prime-based Advance so disbursed, the Reimbursement Obligation of the
Company or the applicable Account Party to the Agent under this Section 3.6
shall be deemed satisfied.
(b) If the Issuing Bank shall honor a draft or other demand for
payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall
provide notice thereof to the Company and the applicable Account Party on the
date such draft or demand is honored, and to each Revolving Credit Bank on such
date unless the Company or applicable Account Party shall have satisfied its
Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.6(a) by payment to the Agent on such
date. The Issuing Bank shall further use reasonable efforts to provide notice
to the Company or applicable Account Party prior to honoring any such draft or
other demand for payment, but such notice, or the failure to provide such
notice, shall not affect the rights or obligations of the Issuing Bank with
respect to any Letter of Credit or the rights and obligations of the parties
hereto, including without limitation the obligations of the Company or
applicable Account Party under Section 3.6(a) hereof.
(c) Upon issuance by the Issuing Bank of each Letter of Credit
hereunder, each Revolving Credit Bank shall automatically acquire a pro rata
risk participation interest in such Letter of Credit and related Letter of
Credit Payment based on its respective Percentage. Each Revolving Credit Bank,
on the date a draft or demand under any Letter of Credit is honored, shall make
its Percentage share of the amount paid by the Issuing Bank, and not reimbursed
by the Company or applicable Account Party by payment to the Agent on such day,
available in immediately available funds at the principal office of the Agent
for the account of the Issuing Bank.
32
41
If and to the extent such Bank shall not have made such pro rata portion
available to the Agent, such Bank, the Company and the applicable Account Party
severally agree to pay to the Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was paid
by the Issuing Bank until such amount is so made available to the Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank at a per annum rate equal to the interest rate
applicable during such period to the related Advance disbursed under Section
3.6(a) in respect of the Reimbursement Obligation of the Company and the
applicable Account Party. If such Bank shall pay such amount to the Agent for
the account of the Issuing Bank together with such interest, such amount so
paid shall constitute a Prime-based Advance by such Bank disbursed in respect
of the Reimbursement Obligation of the Company or applicable Account Party
under Section 3.6(a) for purposes of this Agreement, effective as of the date
such amount was paid by the Issuing Bank. The failure of any Revolving Credit
Bank to make its pro rata portion of any such amount paid by the Issuing Bank
available to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank shall not relieve
any other Revolving Credit Bank of its obligation to make available its pro
rata portion of such amount, but no Bank shall be responsible for failure of
any other Bank to make such pro rata portion available to the Agent for the
account Issuing Bank.
Notwithstanding the foregoing however, no Bank shall acquire a pro rata risk
participation in a Letter of Credit or related Letter of Credit Payment if the
Issuing Bank was notified prior to the issuance thereof that the Agent had
received written notice from a Bank specifically stating that such Bank
believed that one or more of the conditions precedent to the issuance of
Letters of Credit were not be satisfied and, in fact, such conditions precedent
were not satisfied at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit;
provided, however that each Bank shall acquire a pro rata risk participation in
such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Payment upon the earlier
of occur of (x) the date on which the Bank notifies the Agent that such prior
notice is withdrawn and (y) the date on which all conditions precedent to the
issuing of such Letter of Credit have been satisfied (or waived by the Majority
Banks or all Banks, as applicable).
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require or
authorize any Bank other than the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit,
it being recognized that the Issuing Bank shall be the sole issuer of Letters
of Credit under this Agreement.
3.7 Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of Company and any
Account Party to make payments to Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank or
of the Revolving Credit Banks with respect to Reimbursement Obligations under
Section 3.6 hereof, shall be unconditional and irrevocable and not subject to
any qualification or exception whatsoever, including, without limitation:

(b) Any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, or any
substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any interest in

the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any other Bank or any other person or entity,
whether in connection with any of the Letter of Credit Documents, the
transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transactions;
(d) Any draft or other statement or document presented under any
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or
any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

the Issuing Bank or any other Bank or any party to any of the Letter of Credit
Documents to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred
upon the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any other Bank or any such party under this
Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any of the Letter of Credit Documents,
or any other acts or omissions on the part of the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any
other Bank or any such party; or
(f) Any other event or circumstance that would, in the absence of
this Section 3.7, result in the release or discharge by operation of law or
otherwise of Company or any Account Party from the performance or observance of
any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in Section 3.6.
No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or any
defense of any kind or nature which Company or any Account Party has or may
have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit shall be available
hereunder to Company or any Account Party against the Agent, the Issuing Bank
or any other Bank. Nothing contained in this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to
prevent Company or the Account Parties, after satisfaction in full of the
absolute and unconditional obligations of Company and the Account Parties
hereunder, from asserting in a separate action any claim, defense, set off or
other right which they (or any of them) may have against Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Bank.

taking any and all actions under or upon the Letters of Credit.

Issuing Bank shall issue the Letters of Credit and shall hold the
documents related thereto in its own name
34
43
and shall make all collections thereunder and otherwise administer the
Letters of Credit in accordance with Issuing Bank's regularly

taken or omitted on the advice of counsel, accountants, appraisers or
other experts selected by Issuing Bank with due care and Issuing Bank
may rely upon any notice, communication, certificate or other
statement from Company, any Account Party, beneficiaries of Letters of
Credit, or any other Person which Issuing Bank believes to be
authentic. Issuing Bank, will, upon request, furnish the Banks with
copies of Letter of Credit Agreements, Letters of Credit and documents
related thereto.
(c) In connection with the issuance and administration of
Letters of Credit and the assignments hereunder, Issuing Bank makes no

or (iii) any failure or delay in exercising any rights or powers

Each of the Banks expressly acknowledge that they have made and will
continue to make their own evaluations of Company's creditworthiness
without reliance on any representation of Issuing Bank or Issuing
Bank's officers, agents and employees.

the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall receive same for the pro
rata benefit of the Banks in accordance with their respective
Percentage interests therein and shall promptly deliver to each
Revolving Credit Bank its share thereof, less such Bank's pro rata
share of the costs of such recovery, including court costs and
attorney's fees. If at any time any Revolving Credit Bank shall
receive from any source whatsoever any payment on any such
unreimbursed amount or interest thereon in excess of such Bank's
Percentage share of such payment, such Bank will promptly pay over
such excess to Agent, for redistribution in accordance with this
Agreement.

indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Banks, the Issuing Bank and the
Agent, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and

conditions precedent to the making of Swing Line Advance(s) had not been met

Eurocurrency-based Advances if any; provided, however, that upon any change in
the Margin level then in effect, as aforesaid, or the occurrence of any other
event which under the terms hereof causes such adjustment no longer to be

may be, shall be effective (and said pricing shall thereby be adjusted up or
down, as applicable) with the commencement of each Interest Period following
such change or event, all in accordance with the preceding subparagraph.

at a per annum interest rate equal to the Prime- based Rate, and shall be
payable in immediately available funds quarterly commencing on the first day of
the calendar quarter next succeeding the calendar quarter during which the
initial Advance is made and on the first day of each calendar quarter
thereafter. Interest accruing at the Prime-based Rate shall be computed on the
basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and
in such computation effect shall be given to any change in the interest rate
resulting from a change in the Prime-based Rate on the date of such change in
the Prime-based Rate.
5.3 Eurocurrency-based Interest Payments. Interest on each
Eurocurrency-based Advance having a related Eurocurrency-Interest Period of 3

Guarantor or of all or any part of the property of the Company or any
Guarantor.
(k) any provision of any Guaranty, the Pledge Agreement or
the Security Agreement shall at any time for any reason cease to be
valid and binding and enforceable against the Company or any of the
Guarantors, as applicable, or the validity, binding effect or
enforceability thereof shall be contested by any Person, or the
Company or any of the
66
75

the Guaranty, the Pledge Agreement or the Security Agreement, as the case may
be, or the Guaranty, the Pledge Agreement or the Security Agreement, as the
case may be, shall be terminated, invalidated, revoked or set aside or in any
way cease to give or provide to the Banks and the Agent the benefits purported
to be created thereby.
10.2 Exercise of Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder: (a) the Agent shall, upon being directed to do so by the
Majority Banks, declare the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment terminated;
(b) the Agent shall, upon being directed to do so by the Majority Banks,
declare the entire unpaid principal Indebtedness, including the Notes,
immediately due and payable, without presentment, notice or demand, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by Company; (c) upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default specified in subsection 10.1(j), above, and notwithstanding
the lack of any declaration by Agent under preceding clause (b), the entire
unpaid principal Indebtedness, including the Notes, shall become automatically
and immediately due and payable, and the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment
shall be automatically and immediately terminated; (d) the Agent shall, upon
being directed to do so by the Majority Banks, demand immediate delivery of
cash collateral, and the Company and each Account Party agrees to deliver such
cash collateral upon demand, in an amount equal to the maximum amount that may
be available to be drawn at any time prior to the stated expiry of all
outstanding Letters of Credit, and (e) the Agent shall, if directed to do so by
the Majority Banks or the Banks, as applicable (subject to the terms hereof),
exercise any remedy permitted by this Agreement, the Loan Documents or law.
10.3 Rights Cumulative. No delay or failure of Agent and/or Banks in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall affect such right,
power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude
any further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power, right or
privilege. The rights of Agent and Banks under this Agreement are cumulative
and not exclusive of any right or remedies which Banks would otherwise have.
10.4 Waiver by Company of Certain Laws. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Company hereby agrees to waive, and does hereby absolutely and
irrevocably waive and relinquish the benefit and advantage of any valuation,
stay, appraisement, extension or redemption laws now existing or which may
hereafter exist, which, but for this provision, might be applicable to any sale
made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, on any claim for
interest on the Notes, or any security interest or mortgage contemplated by or
granted under or in connection with this Agreement. These waivers have been
voluntarily given, with full knowledge of the consequences thereof.
10.5 Waiver of Defaults. No Event of Default shall be waived by the
Banks except in a writing signed by an officer of the Agent in accordance with
Section 14.11 hereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder, nor any delay in the exercise thereof, shall preclude
other or further exercise of their rights by Agent or the Banks. No waiver of
any Event of Default shall extend to any other or further Event of Default. No
forbearance on the part of the
67
76
Agent or the Banks in enforcing any of their rights shall constitute a waiver
of any of their rights. Company expressly agrees that this Section may not be
waived or modified by the Banks or Agent by course of performance, estoppel or
otherwise.
10.6 Set Off.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, each Bank may at any time and from time to time, without notice to the
Company but subject to the provisions of Section 11.3 hereof, (any requirement
for such notice being expressly waived by the Company) set off and apply
against any and all of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement, whether owing to such Bank or any other Bank or the
Agent, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank
to or for the credit or the account of the Company and any property of the
Company from time to time in possession of such Bank, irrespective of whether
or not such deposits held or indebtedness owing by such Bank may be contingent
and unmatured and regardless of whether any Collateral then held by Agent or
any Bank is adequate to cover the Indebtedness. Promptly following any such
setoff, such Bank shall give written notice to Agent and to Company of the
occurrence thereof. The Company hereby grants to the Banks and the Agent a lien
on and security interest in all such deposits, indebtedness and property as
collateral security for the payment and performance of all of the obligations
of the Company under this Agreement. The rights of each Bank under this Section
10.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Bank may have.
11. PAYMENTS, RECOVERIES AND COLLECTIONS
11.1 Payment Procedure.
(a) All payments by Company of principal of, or interest on, the
Notes, or of Fees, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim on the
date specified for payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00
noon (Detroit time) in immediately available funds to Agent, for the
ratable account of the Banks, at Agent's office located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, (care of Agent's Eurocurrency
Lending Office, for Eurocurrency-based Advances). Upon receipt by the
Agent of each such payment, the Agent shall make prompt payment in
like funds received to each Bank as appropriate, or, in respect of
Eurocurrency-based Advances, to such Bank's Eurocurrency Lending
Office.
(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by Company prior to
the date on which any payment to be made by Company is due that
Company does not intend to remit such payment, the Agent may, in its
sole discretion and without obligation to do so, assume that the
Company has remitted such payment when so due and the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Bank on such
payment date an amount equal to such Bank's share of such assumed
payment. If Company has not in fact remitted such payment to the Agent
each Bank shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the amount
68
77
of such assumed payment made available or transferred to such Bank,
together with the interest thereon, in respect of each day from and
including the date such amount was made available by the Agent to such
Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at a rate per
annum equal to (i) for Prime-based Advances, the Federal Funds
Effective Rate (daily average), as the same may vary from time to
time, and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency- based Advances, Agent's
aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any
required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties,
overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by Agent) of
carrying such amount.
(c) Subject to the definition of Interest Period, whenever
any payment to be made hereunder shall otherwise be due on a day which
is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included
in computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment.
(d) All payments to be made by the Company under this
Agreement or any of the Notes (including without limitation payments
under the Swing Line Note) shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim, as aforesaid, and without deduction for or on account of
any present or future withholding or other taxes of any nature imposed
by any governmental authority or of any political subdivision thereof
or any federation or organization of which such governmental authority
may at the time of payment be a member, unless Company is compelled by
law to make payment subject to such tax. In such event, Company shall:
(i) pay to the Agent for Agent's own account and/or, as
the case may be, for the account of the Banks (and,
in the case of Advances of the Swing Line, pay to
the Swing Line Bank which funded such Advances)
such additional amounts as may be necessary to
ensure that the Agent and/or such Bank or Banks
receive a net amount equal to the full amount which
would have been receivable had payment not been made
subject to such tax; and
(ii) remit such tax to the relevant taxing authorities
according to applicable law, and send to the Agent
or the applicable Bank (including the Swing Line
Bank) or Banks, as the case may be, such
certificates or certified copy receipts as the Agent
or such Bank or Banks shall reasonably require as
proof of the payment by the Company, of any such
taxes payable by the Company.
As used herein, the terms "tax", "taxes" and "taxation" include all
existing taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and
withholdings and any restrictions or conditions resulting in a charge together
with interest thereon and fines and penalties with respect thereto which may be
imposed by reason of any violation or default with respect to the law regarding
such tax, assessed as a result of or in connection with the transactions
hereunder, or the payment and or
69
78
receipt of funds hereunder, or the payment or delivery of funds into or out of
any jurisdiction other than the United States (whether assessed against
Company, Agent or any of the Banks).
11.2 Application of Proceeds of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, after an Event of Default, the proceeds of
any Collateral, together with any offsets, voluntary payments by Company or any
Guarantor or others and any other sums received or collected in respect of the
Indebtedness, shall be applied, first, to the Notes and the Reimbursement
Obligations (if any) on a pro rata basis (or in such order and manner as
determined by the Majority Banks; subject, however, to the applicable
Percentages of the loans held by each of the Banks), next, to any other
Indebtedness on a pro rata basis, and then, if there is any excess, to Company
or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be. The application of such
proceeds and other sums to the Revolving Credit Notes and the Reimbursement
Obligations (if any) shall be based on each Bank's Percentage of the aggregate
of the loans.
11.3 Pro-rata Recovery. If any Bank shall obtain any payment or other
recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or
otherwise) on account of principal of, or interest on, any of the Indebtedness
in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or thereafter obtained by all
Banks upon principal of and interest on all Indebtedness, such Bank shall
purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Revolving Credit Notes
and/or Reimbursement Obligation held by them as shall be necessary to cause
such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably in
accordance with the Percentage with each of them; provided, however, that if
all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter
recovered from such purchasing holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
12. CHANGES IN LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCES; INCREASED COSTS
12.1 Reimbursement of Prepayment Costs. If Company makes any payment
of principal with respect to any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate
Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto (whether voluntarily, by acceleration, or otherwise), or if Company
fails to borrow any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance after
notice has been given by Company to Agent in accordance with the terms hereof
requesting such Advance, or if Company fails to make any payment of principal
or interest in respect of a Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance
when due, then Company shall reimburse Agent and Banks, as the case may be on
demand for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred by Agent and Banks, as
the case may be as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any such
loss, cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or
redeploying deposits from third parties, whether or not Agent and Banks, as the
case may be shall have funded or committed to fund such Advance. Such amount
payable by Company to Agent and Banks, as the case may be may include, without
limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed,
refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of
such failure to borrow, refund or convert, through the last day of the relevant
Interest Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said
70
79
Advance(s) provided under this Agreement, over (b) the amount of interest (as
reasonably determined by Agent and Banks, as the case may be) which would have
accrued to Agent and Banks, as the case may be on such amount by placing such
amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank
eurodollar market. Calculation of any amounts payable to any Bank under this
paragraph shall be made as though such Bank shall have actually funded or
committed to fund the relevant Advance through the purchase of an underlying
deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Advance and having a maturity
comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that any Bank
may fund any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance, as the case may
be in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized
only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this
paragraph. Upon the written request of Company, Agent and Banks shall deliver
to Company a certificate setting forth the basis for determining such losses,
costs and expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct,
absent manifest error.
12.2 Agent's Eurocurrency Lending Office. For any Advance to which the
Eurocurrency- based Rate is applicable, if Agent shall designate a Eurocurrency
Lending Office which maintains books separate from those of the rest of Agent,
Agent shall have the option of maintaining and carrying the relevant Advance on
the books of such Eurocurrency Lending Office.
12.3 Circumstances Affecting Eurocurrency-based Rate Availability. If
with respect to any Interest Period, Agent or the Banks (after consultation
with Agent) shall determine that, by reason of circumstances affecting the
interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars in the applicable amounts
are not being offered to the Agent for such Interest Period, then Agent shall
forthwith give notice thereof to the Company. Thereafter, until Agent notifies
Company that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Banks to
make Eurocurrency-based Advances, and the right of Company to convert an
Advance to or refund an Advance as a Eurocurrency-based Advance shall be
suspended, and the Company shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full)
the then outstanding principal amount of each such Eurocurrency-based Advance
covered hereby together with accrued interest thereon, any amounts payable (but
not yet paid) under Section 12.1, hereof, and all other amounts payable
hereunder on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to
such Advance. Upon the date for repayment as aforesaid and unless Company
notifies Agent to the contrary within two (2) Business Days after receiving a
notice from Agent pursuant to this Section, such outstanding principal amount
shall be converted to a Prime-based Advance as of the last day of such Interest
Period.
12.4 Laws Affecting Eurocurrency-based Advance Availability. In the
event that any applicable law, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign)
now or hereafter in effect and whether or not currently applicable to any Bank
or the Agent or any interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Agent or any of the Banks (or any of their
respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether
or not having the force of law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful
or impossible for any of the Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency
Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any
Advance with interest
71
80
at the Eurocurrency-based Rate, such Bank or the Agent shall forthwith give
notice thereof to Company and the Agent. Thereafter the Agent shall so notify
Company and the right of Company to convert an Advance or refund an Advance as
a Eurocurrency-based Advance, shall be suspended and thereafter Company may
select as Applicable Interest Rates only those which remain available and which
are permitted to be selected hereunder, and if any of the Banks may not
lawfully continue to maintain an Advance to the end of the then current
Interest Period applicable thereto as a Eurocurrency-based Advance, Company
shall immediately prepay such Advance, together with interest to the date of
payment, and any amounts payable under Sections 12.1 or 12.6 with respect to
such prepayment and the applicable Advance shall immediately be converted to a
Prime-based Advance and the Prime-based Rate shall be applicable thereto.
12.5 Increased Cost of Eurocurrency-based Advances. In the event that
any change in applicable law, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign)
now or hereafter in effect and whether or not currently applicable to any Bank
or the Agent or any interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent or any of the
Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof:
(a) shall subject the Agent or any of the Banks (or any of their
respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other
charge with respect to any Advance or any Note or shall change the
basis of taxation of payments to the Agent or any of the Banks (or any
of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) of the principal of
or interest on any Advance or any Note or any other amounts due under
this Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of
tax on the overall net income or revenues of the Agent or of any of
the Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices)
imposed by the United States of America or the jurisdiction in which
such Bank's principal executive office is located); or
(b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
(including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by the Agent or any of the Banks (or any of their respective
Eurocurrency Lending Offices) or shall impose on the Agent or any of
the Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) or
the interbank markets any other condition affecting any Advance or any
of the Notes;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs to the Agent or
any of the Banks of making, funding or maintaining any part of the Indebtedness
hereunder as a Eurocurrency-based Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by the Agent or any of the Banks under this Agreement or
under the Notes in respect of a Eurocurrency-based Advance then Agent or such
Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Company of such fact and
demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) days after such notice,
Company agrees to pay to
72
81
Agent or such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent
or such Bank or Banks for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate of
Agent or such Bank setting forth the basis for determining such additional
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank or Banks shall accompany
such demand for payment and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save
for manifest error.
For purposes of this Section, a change in law, rule, regulation,
interpretation, administration, request or directive shall include, without
limitation, any change made or which becomes effective on the basis of a law,
rule, regulation, interpretation, administration, request or directive
presently in force, the effective date of which change is delayed by the terms
of such law, rule, regulation, interpretation, administration, request or
directive.
12.6 Indemnity. The Company will indemnify Agent and each of the Banks
against any loss or expense which may arise or be attributable to the Agent's
and each Bank's obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds
acquired to effect, fund or maintain the Advances (a) as a consequence of any
failure by the Company to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder
in connection with a Eurocurrency-based Advance, (b) due to any failure of the
Company to borrow on a date specified therefor in a Request for Revolving
Credit Advance or (c) due to any payment or prepayment of any
Eurocurrency-based Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest
Period for such Revolving Credit Advance, whether required by another provision
of this Agreement or otherwise. The Agent's and each Bank's (as applicable)
calculations of any such loss or expense shall be furnished to the Company and
shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest error.
12.7 Other Increased Costs. In the event that after the date hereof
the adoption of or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation
(whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not
presently applicable to any Bank or Agent, or any interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank or Agent
with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not
having the force of law), including any risk based capital guidelines, affects
or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
such Bank or Agent (or any corporation controlling such Bank or Agent) and such
Bank or Agent, as the case may be, determines that the amount of such capital
is increased by or based upon the existence of such Bank's or Agent's
obligations or Advances hereunder and such increase has the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Bank's or Agent's (or such controlling
corporation's) capital as a consequence of such obligations or Advances
hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or Agent (or such controlling
corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Bank or Agent to be material (collectively, "Increased Costs"),
then Agent or such Bank shall notify the Company, and thereafter the Company
shall pay to such Bank or Agent, as the case may be, from time to time, upon
request by such Bank or Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Bank or Agent (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount
of capital and reduced rate of return which such Bank or Agent reasonably
determines to be
73
82
allocable to the existence of such Bank's or Agent's obligations or Advances
hereunder; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to
reimburse any Bank for any Increased Costs pursuant to this Section 12.7 unless
such Bank notifies Company and the Agent within 180 days after such affected
Bank has obtained actual knowledge of such Increased Costs (but in any event
within 365 days after such affected Bank is required to comply with the
applicable change in law). A statement as to the amount of such compensation,
prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by such Bank or Agent, as the
case may be, shall be submitted by such Bank or by Agent to the Company,
reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event described in this Section
12.7 and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error in computation.
12.8 Substitution of Banks. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make
Eurocurrency-based Advances has been suspended pursuant to Section 12.3 or
Section 12.4 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 12.5 (in
each case, an "Affected Lender"), then Company shall have the right, with the
assistance of the Agent, to seek a substitute lender or lenders (which may be
one or more of the Banks (the "Purchasing Lender" or "Purchasing Lenders") to
purchase the Revolving Credit Note and assume the commitment (including without
limitation its participations in Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit)
under this Agreement of such Affected Lender. The Affected Lender shall be
obligated to sell its Revolving Credit Note and assign its commitment to such
Purchasing Lender or Purchasing Lenders within fifteen days after receiving
notice from Company requiring it to do so, at an aggregate price equal to the
outstanding principal amount thereof plus unpaid interest accrued thereon up to
but excluding the date of the sale. In connection with any such sale, and as a
condition thereof, Company shall pay to the Affected Lender all fees accrued
for its account hereunder to but excluding the date of such sale, plus, if
demanded by the Affected Lender at least two Business Days prior to such sale,
(i) the amount of any compensation which would be due to the Affected Lender
under Section 12.1 if Company has prepaid the outstanding Eurocurrency-based
Advances of the Affected Lender on the date of such sale and (ii) any
additional compensation accrued for its account under Section 12.5 to but
excluding said date. Upon such sale, the Purchasing Lender or Purchasing
Lenders shall assume the Affected Lender's commitment and the Affected Lender
shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent. If
any Purchasing Lender is not already one of the Banks, the Affected Lender, as
assignor, such Purchasing Lender, as assignee, Company and the Agent, with the
subscribed consent of the Swing Line Bank shall enter into an Assignment
Agreement pursuant to Section 14.8 hereof, whereupon such Purchasing Lender
shall be a Bank party to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be an assignee
hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a
Percentage equal to its ratable share of the Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment of the Affected Lender. In connection with any assignment pursuant
to this Section 12.8, Company or the Purchasing Lender shall pay to the Agent
the administrative fee for processing such assignment referred to in Section
14.8. Upon the consummation of any sale pursuant to this Section 12.8, the
Affected Lender, the Agent and Company shall make appropriate arrangements so
that, if required, each Purchasing Lender receives a new Revolving Credit Note.
74
83
13. AGENT
13.1 Appointment of Agent. Each Bank and the holder of each Note
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Bank or
holder under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such
powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to Agent by the
terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably
incidental thereto, including without limitation the power to execute or
authorize the execution of financing or similar statements or notices, and
other documents. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement,
the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall
not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency
or trust with or for Company. Each Bank agrees (which agreement shall survive
any termination of this Agreement) to reimburse Agent for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including house and outside attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by Agent hereunder or in connection herewith or with an
Event of Default or in enforcing the obligations of Company under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument executed pursuant
hereto, and for which Agent is not reimbursed by Company, pro rata according to
such Bank's Percentage, but excluding any such expense resulting from Agent's
gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Agent shall not be required to take any
action under the Loan Documents, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect
of the Loan Documents, unless indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks
against loss, costs, liability and expense (excluding liability resulting from
its gross negligence or wilful misconduct). If any indemnity furnished to Agent
shall become impaired, it may call for additional indemnity and cease to do the
acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is given.
13.2 Deposit Account with Agent. Company hereby authorizes Agent, in
Agent's sole discretion, to charge its general deposit account(s), if any,
maintained with Agent for the amount of any principal, interest, or other
amounts or costs due under this Agreement when the same become due and payable
under the terms of this Agreement or the Notes.
13.3 Scope of Agent's Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, and shall not, by
reason of this Agreement or otherwise, have a fiduciary relationship with any
Bank (and no implied covenants or other obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Agent). None of Agent, its Affiliates nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Bank
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement
or any document executed pursuant hereto, or in connection herewith or
therewith with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks (or all of
the Banks for those acts requiring consent of all of the Banks) (except for its
or their own wilful misconduct or gross negligence), nor be responsible for or
have any duties to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any recitals or
warranties made by the Company, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company,
or any officer thereof contained herein or therein, (b) the effectiveness,
enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any document
executed pursuant hereto or any security thereunder, (c) the performance by
Company of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or (d) the satisfaction of
any condition hereunder or thereunder, including without limitation the making
of any Advance or the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Agent and its
Affiliates shall be
75
84
entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice, document or other communication
(including any cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile transmission or oral
communication) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been sent
or given by or on behalf of a proper person. Agent may treat the payee of any
Note as the holder thereof. Agent may employ agents and may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for Company), independent public accountants and
other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to the Banks (except as to
money or property received by them or their authorized agents), for the
negligence or misconduct of any such agent selected by it with reasonable care
or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
13.4 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as such at any time upon at
least 30 days prior notice to Company and all Banks. If Agent at any time shall
resign or if the office of Agent shall become vacant for any other reason,
Majority Banks shall, by written instrument, appoint successor agent(s)
satisfactory to such Majority Banks, and, so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, to Company. Such successor agent shall
thereupon become the Agent hereunder, as applicable, and shall be entitled to
receive from the prior Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such
successor Agent may reasonably request. Any such successor Agent shall be a
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.
If a successor is not so appointed or does not accept such appointment before
the resigning Agent's resignation becomes effective, the resigning Agent may
appoint a temporary successor to act until such appointment by the Majority
Banks is made and accepted or if no such temporary successor is appointed as
provided above by the resigning Agent, the Majority Banks shall thereafter
perform all of the duties of the resigning Agent hereunder until such
appointment by the Majority Banks is made and accepted. Such successor Agent
shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the resigning Agent as if
originally named. The resigning Agent shall duly assign, transfer and deliver
to such successor Agent all moneys at the time held by the resigning Agent
hereunder after deducting therefrom its expenses for which it is entitled to be
reimbursed. Upon such succession of any such successor Agent, the resigning
agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, except for
its gross negligence or wilful misconduct arising prior to its resignation
hereunder, and the provisions of this Article 13 shall continue in effect for
the benefit of the resigning Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.
13.5 Agent in its Individual Capacity. Comerica Bank, its Affiliates
and their respective successors and assigns, shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising
the same as though Comerica Bank were not the Agent. Comerica Bank and its
Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Bank) accept deposits
from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory or other business with Company (or its Subsidiaries) as if
Comerica Bank were not acting as Agent hereunder, and may accept fees and other
consideration therefor without having to account for the same to the Banks.

13.6 Credit Decisions. Each Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently of Agent and each other Bank and based on the financial
statements of Company and such other documents, information and investigations
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend credit
hereunder from time to time. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will,
independently of Agent and each other Bank and based on such other documents,
information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time,
continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising
from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this
Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto.
13.7 Agent's Fees. Company shall pay to Agent the annual agency fee
and such other fees and charges in the amounts and at the times set forth in

in this Section 13.7 shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
13.8 Authority of Agent to Enforce Notes and This Agreement. Each
Bank, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, authorizes the
Agent with full power and authority as attorney-in-fact to institute and
maintain actions, suits or proceedings for the collection and enforcement of
the Notes and to file such proofs of debt or other documents as may be
necessary to have the claims of the Banks allowed in any proceeding relative to
Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective creditors or affecting
their respective properties, and to take such other actions which Agent
considers to be necessary or desirable for the protection, collection and
enforcement of the Notes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
13.9 Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent and its
Affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by Company, but without limiting any
obligation of Company to make such reimbursement), ratably according to their
respective Percentages, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including,
without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against the Agent and its Affiliates in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents
or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the
Agent and its Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such claims,
damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses resulting from the Agent's or
its Affiliates's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent and its Affiliates
promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the
Agent and its Affiliates 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 or any of the other
Loan Documents, to the extent that the Agent and its Affiliates is not
reimbursed for such expenses by Company, but without limiting the obligation of
Company to make such reimbursement. Each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent and
its Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amounts owing
to the Agent and its Affiliates by the Banks pursuant to this Section, provided
that, if the
77
86
Agent or its Affiliates is subsequently reimbursed by the Company for such
amounts, it shall refund to the Banks on a pro rata basis the amount of any
excess reimbursement. If the indemnity furnished to the Agent and its
Affiliates under this Section shall, in the judgment of the Agent, be
insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity
from the Banks and cease, or not commence, to take any action until such
additional indemnity is furnished.
13.10 Knowledge of Default. It is expressly understood and agreed that
the Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, unless the officers of the Agent immediately responsible for
matters concerning this Agreement shall have been notified in a writing
specifying such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of
default" by a Bank or by Company. Upon receiving such a notice, the Agent shall
promptly notify each Bank of such Event of Default and provide each Bank with a
copy of such notice and, shall endeavor to provide such notice to the Banks
within three (3) Business Days (but without any liability whatsoever in the
event of its failure to do so). Agent shall also furnish the Banks, promptly
upon receipt, with copies of all other notices or other information required to
be provided by Company hereunder.
13.11 Agent's Authorization; Action by Banks. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, whenever the Agent is authorized and empowered
hereunder on behalf of the Banks to give any approval or consent, or to make
any request, or to take any other action on behalf of the Banks (including
without limitation the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents), the Agent shall be required to give such approval or
consent, or to make such request or to take such other action only when so
requested in writing by the Majority Banks or the Banks, as applicable
hereunder. Action that may be taken by Majority Banks or all of the Banks, as
the case may be (as provided for hereunder) may be taken (i) pursuant to a vote
at a meeting (which may be held by telephone conference call) as to which all
of the Banks have been given reasonable advance notice, or (ii) pursuant to the
written consent of the requisite Percentages of the Banks as required
hereunder, provided that all of the Banks are given reasonable advance notice
of the requests for such consent.
13.12 Enforcement Actions by the Agent. Except as otherwise expressly
provided under this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and subject
to the terms hereof, Agent will take such action, assert such rights and pursue
such remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Majority
Banks or all of the Banks, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder),
shall direct; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to act or
omit to act if, in the judgment of the Agent, such action or omission may
expose the Agent to personal liability or is contrary to this Agreement, any of
the Loan Documents or applicable law. Except as expressly provided above or
elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, no Bank (other than
the Agent, acting in its capacity as agent) shall be entitled to take any
enforcement action of any kind under any of the Loan Documents.

conflict of laws provisions). Whenever possible each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.
14.4 Interest. In the event the obligation of Company to pay interest on
the principal balance of the Notes is or becomes in excess of the maximum
interest rate which Company is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay,
giving due consideration to the execution date of this Agreement, then, in that
event, the rate of interest applicable with respect to such Bank's Percentage
shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous
payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in
reduction of principal and not of interest.

Letter of Credit and any and all costs and expenses which any of them may incur
relative to any payment under any Letter of Credit. At Agent's option, all of
said amounts required to be paid by Company, if not paid when due, may be
charged by Agent as a Prime-based Advance against the Indebtedness.

each of the Banks, and their respective employees, agents, officers and

be required to, take any action on the basis of any notice given to it by
telephone, but the giver of any such notice shall promptly confirm such notice
in writing or by telex or facsimile, and such notice will not be deemed to have
been received until such confirmation is deemed received in accordance with the
provisions of this Section set forth above. If such telephonic notice conflicts

benefit of Company and the Banks and their respective successors and assigns.
81
90
(b) The foregoing shall not authorize any assignment by Company, of
its rights or duties hereunder, and no such assignment shall be made (or
effective) without the prior written approval of the Banks.
(c) The Company and Agent acknowledge that each of the Banks may at
any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
assign or grant participations in such Bank's rights and obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents to any commercial bank, savings and loan
association, insurance company, pension fund, mutual fund, commercial finance
company or other similar financial institution, the identity of which
institution is approved by Company and Agent, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that (i) the approval of
Company shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
a Default or Event of Default, and (ii) the approval of Company and Agent shall
not be required for any such sale, transfer, assignment or participation to the
Affiliate of an assigning Bank, any other Bank or any Federal Reserve Bank. The
Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any prospective assignee or
participant, once approved by Company and Agent, any and all financial
information in such Bank's possession concerning the Company which has been
delivered to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement; provided that each such
prospective participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement consistent
with the terms of Section 14.13 hereof.
(d) Each assignment by a Bank of any portion of its rights and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made pursuant
to an Assignment Agreement substantially (as determined by Agent) in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit I (with appropriate insertions acceptable to Agent)
and shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and to the following
restrictions:
(i) each assignment shall cover all of the Notes issued by
Company hereunder to the assigning Bank (and not any
particular note or notes), and shall be for a fixed and not
varying percentage thereof, with the same percentage
applicable to each such Note;
(ii) each assignment shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of
(X) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) and (Y) the entire
remaining amount of assigning Bank's interest in the
Revolving Credit (and participations in any outstanding
Letters of Credit); provided however that, after giving
effect to any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.8(d), in
no event shall the entire remaining amount (if any) of
assigning Bank's interest in the Revolving Credit (and
participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit) be less
than $10,000,000;
(iii) no assignment shall violate any "blue sky" or other
securities law of any jurisdiction or shall require the
Company, or any other Person to file a registration statement
or similar application with the United States Securities
82
91
and Exchange Commission (or similar state regulatory body) or
to qualify under the "blue sky" or other securities laws of
any jurisdiction; and
(iv) no assignment shall be effective unless Agent has received
from the assignee (or from the assigning Bank) an assignment
fee of $3,500 for each such assignment.
In connection with any assignment, Company and Agent shall be entitled to
continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Bank in connection with
the interest so assigned until (x) the Agent shall have received a notice of
assignment duly executed by the assigning Bank and an Assignment Agreement
(with respect thereto) duly executed by the assigning Bank and each assignee;
and (y) the assigning Bank shall have delivered to the Agent the original of
each Note held by the assigning Bank under this Agreement. From and after the
date on which the Agent shall notify Company and the assigning Bank that the
foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied and all consents (if any)
required shall have been given, the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to be a
party to this Agreement. To the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
shall have been assigned to such assignee as provided in such notice of
assignment (and Assignment Agreement), such assignee shall have the rights and
obligations of a Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including without limitation the right to receive fees payable hereunder in
respect of the period following such assignment). In addition, the assigning
Bank, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder shall have been
assigned by it as provided in such notice of assignment (and Assignment
Agreement), but not otherwise, shall relinquish its rights and be released from
its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Within five (5) Business Days following Company's receipt of notice from the
Agent that Agent has accepted and executed a notice of assignment and the duly
executed Assignment Agreement, Company shall, to the extent applicable, execute
and deliver to the Agent in exchange for any surrendered Note, new Note(s)
payable to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned
to it pursuant to such notice of assignment (and Assignment Agreement), and
with respect to the portion of the Indebtedness retained by the assigning Bank,
to the extent applicable, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assigning
Bank in an amount equal to the amount retained by such Bank hereunder shall be
executed and delivered by the Company. Agent, the Banks and the Company
acknowledge and agree that any such new Note(s) shall be given in renewal and
replacement of the surrendered Notes and shall not effect or constitute a
novation or discharge of the Indebtedness evidenced by any surrendered Note,
and each such new Note may contain a provision confirming such agreement. In
addition, promptly following receipt of such Notes, Agent shall prepare and
distribute to Company and each of the Banks a revised Schedule 1.2 to this
Agreement setting forth the applicable new Percentages of the Banks (including
the assignee Bank), taking into account such assignment.
(e) Each Bank agrees that any participation agreement permitted
hereunder shall comply with all applicable laws and shall be subject to the
following restrictions (which shall be set forth in the applicable
Participation Agreement):
83
92
(i) such Bank shall remain the holder of its Notes hereunder,
notwithstanding any such participation;
(ii) except as expressly set forth in this Section 14.8(e) with
respect to rights of setoff and the benefits of Section 12
hereof, a participant shall have no direct rights or
remedies hereunder;
(iii) a participant shall not reassign or transfer, or grant any
sub-participations in its participation interest hereunder
or any part thereof; and
(iv) such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to
enforce the obligations of the Company relating to the Notes
and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
the right to proceed against any Guaranties, or cause Agent
to do so (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), and
the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement without the consent of
the participant, except in the case of participations
granted to an Affiliate of such Lender and except for those
matters covered by Section 14.11(a) through (e) and (h)
hereof (provided that a participant may exercise approval
rights over such matters only on an indirect basis, acting
through such Bank, and Company, Agent and the other Banks
may continue to deal directly with such Bank in connection
with such Bank's rights and duties hereunder).
Company agrees that each participant shall be deemed to have the right of
setoff under Section 10.6 hereof in respect of its participation interest in
amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the same
extent as if the Indebtedness were owing directly to it as a Bank under this
Agreement, shall be subject to the pro rata recovery provisions of Section 11.3
hereof and shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12 hereof. The amount,
terms and conditions of any participation shall be as set forth in the
participation agreement between the issuing Bank and the Person purchasing such
participation, and none of the Company, the Agent and the other Banks shall
have any responsibility or obligation with respect thereto, or to any Person to
whom any such participation may be issued. No such participation shall relieve
any issuing Bank of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, and all actions hereunder shall be conducted as if no
such participation had been granted.
(f) Nothing in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than
the respective parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees
and participants permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement, the Notes or the
other Loan Documents.
14.9 Indulgence. No delay or failure of Agent and the Banks in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall affect such right,
power or privilege nor shall any single or partial
84
93
exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof, nor the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. The rights of Agent and the Banks hereunder
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Agent and
the Banks would otherwise have.
14.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, and each executed copy shall constitute an original instrument,
but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
14.11 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by
Company or any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Banks (or by the Agent at
the written request of the Majority Banks) or, if this Agreement expressly so
requires with respect to the subject matter thereof, by all Banks (and, with
respect to any amendments to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, by
Company or the Guarantors which are signatories thereto), and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver
or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Banks, do any of the
following: (a) increase any Bank's commitments hereunder, (b) reduce the
principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any Fees or other amounts payable
hereunder, (c) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Notes or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (d)

release or defer the granting or perfecting of a lien or security interest in
any Collateral or release any guaranty or similar undertaking provided by any
Person, except as shall be otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, provided however that Agent shall be entitled to
release any Collateral which the Company or any Guarantor is permitted to sell
or transfer under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
without notice to or any further action or consent of the Banks (f) terminate
or modify any indemnity provided to the Banks hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, except as shall be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (g) take any action which requires the approval or
consent of all Banks pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (h) change the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes which
shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this
Agreement or any Loan Document or (i) change the definition of "Majority Banks"
or this Section 14.11; provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent
shall, unless in writing signed by the Swing Line Bank do any of the following:
(x) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Swing Line Note or (y)
postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Swing Line Note; and provided further, however, that no amendment, waiver, or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to all the
Banks, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document. All references in this Agreement to "Banks" or "the Banks"
shall refer to all Banks, unless expressly stated to refer to Majority Banks.
14.12 Confidentiality. Each Bank agrees that it will not disclose
without the prior consent of Company (other than to its employees, its
Guarantors, another Bank or to its auditors or counsel)
85
94
any information with respect to Company, which is furnished pursuant to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided that any Bank may
disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the
public or has been lawfully obtained by such Bank from any third party under no
duty of confidentiality to Company, (b) as may be required or appropriate in
any report, statement or testimony submitted to, or in respect to any inquiry,
by, any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have
jurisdiction over such Bank, including the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System of the United States, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations
(whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be
required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection
with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or
ruling applicable to such Bank, and (e) to any permitted transferee or assignee
or to any approved participant of, or with respect to, the Notes, as aforesaid.
14.13 Withholding Taxes. If any Bank is not incorporated under the laws
of the United States or a state thereof, such Bank shall promptly deliver to
the Agent two executed copies of (i) Internal Revenue Service Form 1001
specifying the applicable tax treaty between the United States and the
jurisdiction of such Bank's domicile which provides for the exemption from
withholding on interest payments to such Bank, (ii) Internal Revenue Service
Form 4224 evidencing that the income to be received by such Bank hereunder is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States or (iii) other evidence satisfactory to the Agent and Company that such
Bank is exempt from United States income tax withholding with respect to such
income. Such Bank shall amend or supplement any such form or evidence as
required to insure that it is accurate, complete and non-misleading at all
times. Promptly upon notice from the Agent of any determination by the Internal
Revenue Service that any payments previously made to such Bank hereunder were
subject to United States income tax withholding when made, such Bank shall pay
to the Agent the excess of the aggregate amount required to be withheld from
such payments over the aggregate amount actually withheld by the Agent.
14.14 Taxes and Fees. Should any tax (other than as a result of a Bank's
failure to comply with Section 14.13 or a tax based upon the net income or
capitalization of any Bank or the Agent by any jurisdiction where a Bank or
Agent is located), recording or filing fee become payable in respect of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or
supplement hereof or thereof, the Company agrees to pay the same, together with
any interest or penalties thereon arising from the Company's act or omission,
and agrees to hold the Agent and the Banks harmless with respect thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 14.14 shall
affect or reduce the rights of any Bank or the Agent under Section 12.7 hereof.
14.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BANKS, THE AGENT AND THE COMPANY AFTER
CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS
86

CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS
(WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. NEITHER THE BANKS, THE
AGENT, NOR COMPANY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, ANY
SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN

THE AGENT OR COMPANY EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY ALL OF THEM.
14.16 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Bank
and the Agent shall conform to usury laws applicable to them, if any.
Accordingly, if the transactions with any Bank or Agent contemplated hereby
would be usurious under such applicable laws, then, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the Notes or Loan Documents payable to such Bank, this
Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with or as security
for or guaranteeing this Agreement or the Indebtedness, it is agreed as
follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest
under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or
received by such Bank under the Notes payable to such Bank, this Agreement, the
Loan Documents or under any other agreement entered into in connection with or
as security for or guaranteeing this Agreement or such Notes or Loan Documents
shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such
applicable law, and any excess shall be credited automatically, if theretofore
paid, on the principal amount of the Indebtedness owed to such Bank or, if no
Indebtedness to such Bank is outstanding, shall be refunded to Company by such
Bank, and (ii) in the event that the maturity of any such Note or other
Indebtedness is accelerated or in the event of any required or permitted
prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law
applicable to such Bank may never include more than the maximum amount allowed
by such applicable law and excess interest, if any, to such Bank shall be
cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and,
if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Bank on the principal amount of
the Indebtedness owed to such Bank by the Company or, if no Indebtedness to
such Bank is then outstanding, shall be refunded by such Bank to the Company.
Without limiting any provision of the Notes or Loan Documents, if for any
reason Texas law is applicable to this Agreement or any Note, it is expressly
agreed that Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. ▇▇▇. art. ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. 15 (which regulates
certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) shall
not apply to this Agreement, such Note, such Loan Documents, the Loans or any
transaction contemplated hereby, and unless changed in accordance with law, the
rate ceiling applicable to any Indebtedness to which Texas law is applicable
under Texas law shall be the indicated (weekly) rate ceiling from time to time
in effect as provided in Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. ▇▇▇. 5069-1.04, as amended.
14.17 Complete Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement, the Notes, any
Requests for Revolving Credit Advance and Requests for Swing Line Advance
hereunder, and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the
parties hereto, superseding all prior agreements, discussions and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, and none of the parties
shall
87
96
be bound by anything not expressed in writing. In the event of any conflict
between the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this
Agreement shall govern.
14.18 Severability. In case any one or more of the obligations of
Company under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining obligations of Company shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability in one jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or
enforceability of the obligations of Company under this Agreement, the Notes or
any of the other Loan Documents in any other jurisdiction.
14.19 Table of Contents and Headings. The table of contents and the
headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference
only and shall in no way modify or affect any of the terms or provisions
hereof.
14.20 Construction of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents refers to any action to be taken by any
Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be
applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person,
whether or not expressly specified in such provision.
14.21 Independence of Covenants. Each covenant hereunder shall be given
independent effect (subject to any exceptions stated in such covenant) so that
if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any such covenant
(taking into account any such stated exception), the fact that it would be
permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise within the limitations of,
another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default.
14.22 Reliance on and Survival of Various Provisions. All terms,
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of Company or any party
to any of the Loan Documents made herein or in any of the Loan Documents or in
any certificate, report, financial statement or other document furnished by or
on behalf of Company or any Guarantor in connection with this Agreement or any
of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Banks,
notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any Bank or
on such Bank's behalf, and those covenants and agreements of Company set forth
in Section 12.6 hereof (together with any other indemnities of Company or any
Guarantor contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan
Documents) and of Banks set forth in Section 13.9 hereof shall survive the
repayment in full of the Indebtedness and the termination of the Revolving
Credit Aggregate Commitment.
14.23 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement constitutes an amendment
and restatement of the Prior Credit Agreements, which Prior Credit Agreement(s)
are fully superseded and amended and restated in their entirety hereby;
provided, however, that the Indebtedness
88
97
governed by the Prior Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding and in full
force and effect and provided further that this Agreement does not constitute a
novation of such Indebtedness.

SCHEDULE 7.21
CHANGES IN REQUIREMENTS OF LAWS
The following is as of the Effective Date:
Forty-eight states have adopted legislation regulating rental-purchase
transactions. Of those states, 45 require companies to provide certain
disclosures to customers regarding the terms of the rental-purchase
transaction. North Carolina, Wisconsin and Minnesota regulate rental-purchase
transactions as credit sales subject to consumer lending restrictions. North
Carolina and Minnesota subject the transactions to interest rate or finance
charge limitations. In addition, recent court decisions in New Jersey have
created a legal environment in that state which is prohibitive to
rental-purchase transactions. The Company operates in North Carolina, but does
not operate in the other three states. Twenty-two of the 23 states in which
the Company operates impose some type of disclosure requirements, either in
advertising or in the rental-purchase agreement, or both. The regulations in
these states also distinguish rental-purchase transactions from credit sales.
The management of the Company believes that the operations of the Company are in
material compliance with applicable state rental-purchase laws. Although
certain proposed federal regulations are under consideration, no federal
legislation has been enacted regulating rental-purchase transactions. As of
the Effective Date, two bills have been introduced in Congress that would
regulate the rental-purchase industry. One of the bills is supported by the
Association of Progressive Rental Organizations ("APRO") and the Company does
not believe that this ▇▇▇▇, if enacted, would have a material adverse effect
upon the Company's operations. The other ▇▇▇▇ would regulate rental-purchase
transactions as credit sales, and if enacted, could have a Material Adverse
Effect.

3. Unconditional Character of Guaranty. The obligations of each of
the Guarantors under this Guaranty, to the full extent of its guaranty of
Indebtedness hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be a
guaranty of payment and not of collection, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, the Letter of
Credit Agreements, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents, or
any provision thereof, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver
or consent with respect to or any amendment of any provision thereof, the
recovery of any judgment against any Person or action to enforce the same, any
failure or delay in the enforcement of the obligations of Company under the
Notes, the Credit Agreement, the Letter of Credit Agreements, the Letters of
Credit or any of the other Loan Documents, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation, defense or termination, whether with or without notice
to such Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives diligence, demand for
payment, filing of claims with any court, any proceeding to enforce any
provision of the Notes executed by Company, or the Credit Agreement, the Letter
of Credit Agreements, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents,
any right to require a proceeding first against Company, or against any other
guarantor or other party providing collateral, or to exhaust any security for
the performance of the obligations of Company, any protest, presentment, notice
or demand whatsoever, and such Guarantor hereby covenants that this Guaranty
shall not be terminated, discharged or released except, subject to Section 6.5
hereof, upon final payment in full (subject to no revocation or rescission) of
all amounts due and to become due from Company or any Account Party, as and to
the extent described above, and only to the extent of any such payment,
performance and discharge. Each of the Guarantors further covenants that no
security now or subsequently held by the Agent or the Banks for the payment of
the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes made by Company, under the Credit
Agreement, or for the payment of any other Indebtedness of Company, to the Agent
or the Banks under the Credit Agreement, the Letter of Credit Agreements, the
Letters of Credit or the other Loan Documents, whether in the nature of a
security interest, pledge, lien, assignment, setoff, suretyship, guaranty,
indemnity, insurance or otherwise, and no act, omission or other conduct of
Agent or the Banks in respect of such security, shall affect in any manner
whatsoever the unconditional obligation of this Guaranty, and that the Agent and
each of the Banks, in their respective sole discretion and without notice to
Company, may release, exchange, enforce, apply the proceeds of and otherwise
deal with any such security without affecting in any manner the unconditional
obligation of this Guaranty.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations, and
the rights of the Agent to enforce the same on behalf of the Banks, by
proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be
in any way affected by (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation,
reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding up or other
proceeding involving or affecting Company, or others, or (ii) any change in the
ownership of the capital stock of Company, or any other party providing
collateral for any indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, or any of their
respective Affiliates.
3
144
Each of the Guarantors hereby waives to the fullest extent possible under
applicable law:
(a) any defense based upon the doctrine of marshalling of
assets or upon an election of remedies by Agent or the Banks, including, without
limitation, an election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial
foreclosure;
(b) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which
provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in
other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;
(c) any duty on the part of Agent or any of the Banks to
disclose to such Guarantor any facts Agent or the Banks may now or hereafter
know about the Company, regardless of whether Agent or any Bank has reason to
believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which such
Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown
to such Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to
such Guarantor, since such Guarantor acknowledges that it is fully responsible
for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all
circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any Indebtedness hereby
guaranteed;
(d) any claim for reimbursement, contribution, exoneration,
indemnity or subrogation, or any other similar claim, which such Guarantor may
have or obtain against the Company, by reason of the existence of this Guaranty,
or by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Indebtedness or the
performance of this Guaranty or of any other Loan Documents, until the
Indebtedness has been repaid and discharged in full and no commitment to extend
any credit under the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (whether
optional or obligatory), or any Letter of Credit, remains outstanding, and any
amounts paid to such Guarantor on account of any such claim at any time when the
obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not have been fully and
finally paid shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for Agent and the Banks,
segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and forthwith upon receipt by
such Guarantor shall be turned over to Agent in the exact form received by such
Guarantor (duly endorsed to Agent by such Guarantor, if required), to be applied
to such Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty, whether matured or
unmatured, in such order and manner as Agent may determine; and
(e) any other event or action (excluding compliance by such
Guarantor with the provisions hereof) that would result in the discharge by
operation of law or otherwise of such Guarantor from the performance or
observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Guaranty.
The Agent and each of the Banks may deal with Company, and any security
held by them for the obligations of Company or any other Account Party (as
aforesaid), in the same manner and as freely as if this Guaranty did not exist
and the Agent shall be entitled, on behalf of Banks, without notice to the
Guarantors, among other things, to grant to the Company, such extension or
extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may seem advisable to such
Agent (on behalf of the Banks) at any time and from time to time, and to permit
the Company or any other Account Party to incur
4
145
additional indebtedness to Agent, the Banks, or any of them, without
terminating, affecting or impairing the validity or enforceability of this
Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder.
The Agent may proceed, either in its own name (on behalf of the Banks) or
in the name of any of the Guarantors, or otherwise, to protect and enforce any
or all of its rights under this Guaranty by suit in equity, action at law or by
other appropriate proceedings, or to take any action authorized or permitted
under applicable law, and shall be entitled to require and enforce the
performance of all acts and things required to be performed hereunder by the
Guarantors. Each and every remedy of the Agent and of the Banks shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
No waiver or release shall be deemed to have been made by the Agent or
any of the Banks of any of its rights hereunder unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by all of the Banks or on behalf of the Banks by the Agent,
and any such waiver shall be a waiver or release only with respect to the
specific matter involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the Agent or
any of the Banks or the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty in any
other respect at any other time.
At the option of the Agent, any of the Guarantors may be joined in any
action or proceeding commenced by the Agent against Company, or any of the other
parties providing collateral for any indebtedness covered by this Guaranty in
connection with or based upon the Notes made by Company, the Credit Agreement,
the Letter of Credit Agreements, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan
Documents or other Indebtedness, or any provision thereof, and recovery may be
had against any such Guarantor in such action or proceeding or in any
independent action or proceeding against such Guarantor, without any requirement
that the Agent or the Banks first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or
claim against Company, and/or any of the other parties providing collateral for
any Indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, or any other Indebtedness.
As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, each of the
Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with Agent
that, should the amounts referred to in Section 2 of this Guaranty not be
recoverable from such Guarantor in its capacity as a guarantor under this
Guaranty for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of
any provision of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement
or Letter of Credit, or any of the other Loan Documents being or becoming void,
unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law) then,
notwithstanding any knowledge thereof by the Agent and the Banks or any of them
at any time, such Guarantor as sole, original and independent obligor, upon
demand by Agent, will make payment to Agent of all such amounts by way of a full
indemnity.
4. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Guarantors (a)
ratifies, confirms and, by reference thereto (as fully as though such matters
were expressly set forth herein), represents and warrants with respect to itself
those matters set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.8, 7.9, 7.11,
7.12 through 7.19, inclusive, of the Credit Agreement, and (b) agrees not to
engage in any action or
5
146
inaction, the result of which would cause a violation of any term or condition
of the Credit Agreement.
5. Collateral for Guaranty. The obligations of the Guarantors under
this Guaranty shall be secured by the Security Agreement and, if applicable, a
Pledge Agreement, executed and delivered by each of the Guarantors to Agent,
pursuant to the Credit Agreement, together with such other Loan Documents as are
required to be executed and delivered by one or more of the Guarantors
concurrently with or subsequent to the date hereof, all pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Credit Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents.

provision and obligation of this Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable to the

Banks, or either or any of them to such Guarantor, whether represented by any
deposit of such Guarantor with the Agent or any of the Banks or otherwise.
6.5 Release. Upon the satisfaction of the obligations of the
Guarantors hereunder, and when the Guarantors are not subject to any obligation
under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall
deliver to the Guarantors, upon written request therefor, a written release of
this Guaranty; provided however that the effectiveness of this Guaranty shall
continue or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that any payment
received or credit given by the Agent or the Banks, or any of them, is returned,
disgorged, rescinded or required to be recontributed to any party as an
avoidable preference, impermissible setoff, fraudulent conveyance, restoration
of capital or otherwise under any applicable state, federal or national law of
any jurisdiction, including without limitation laws pertaining to bankruptcy or
insolvency, and this Guaranty shall thereafter be enforceable against the
Guarantors as if such returned, disgorged,
6

the Agent or the Banks, and whether or not the Agent or any Bank relied upon
such payment or credit or changed its position as a consequence thereof.

Agent (or any of them) to bring any such action or proceeding against any of the
Guarantors or any of its or their property in the courts of any other

6.10 Limitation under Applicable Insolvency Laws.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is the intention
of each of the Guarantors, Agent and the Banks that the amount of each
Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum
amount thereof not subject to avoidance or recovery by operation of applicable
law governing bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts,
relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent transfers or conveyances
or other similar laws (collectively, "Applicable Insolvency Laws"). To that end,
but only in the event and to the extent that a Guarantor's obligations hereunder
or any payment made pursuant thereto would, but for the operation of the
foregoing proviso, be subject to avoidance or recovery under Applicable
Insolvency Laws, the amount of such Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall be
limited to the largest amount which, after effect thereto, would not, under
Applicable Insolvency Laws, render such Guarantor's respective obligations
hereunder unenforceable or avoidable or subject to recovery under Applicable
Insolvency Laws. To the extent any payment actually made hereunder exceeds the
limitation contained in this Section 6.10, then the amount of such excess shall,
from and after the time of payment by the Guarantors (or any of them), be
reimbursed by the Banks upon demand by such Guarantor. The foregoing proviso is
intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Banks hereunder
against the Guarantors to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Insolvency
Laws and neither Company nor any Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any
right or claim under this Section 6.10 that would not otherwise be available
under Applicable Insolvency Laws.

deteriorate, except for the ordinary wear and tear of its intended primary use
or to the extent no longer useful or necessary to such Debtor's business, and
will at all times be maintained in accordance with the applicable terms of the
Credit Agreement.
(2) The Collateral described in Section I.(a) will be insured
with insurance coverage by financially sound and reputable insurers and in such
forms and amounts and against such risks as prudent business judgment and then
current practice would dictate for companies or professional enterprises engaged
in the same or a similar business and owning and operating similar properties.
In the case of all such insurance policies, each such Debtor shall designate the
Secured Party, on behalf of Banks, as mortgagee and loss payee and such policies
shall provide that any loss be payable to each such Debtor and Secured Party, on
behalf of Banks, as mortgagee and loss payee, as their respective interests may
appear. Further, upon the request of the Secured Party acting at the
3
157
request of the Banks, each such Debtor shall deliver copies of all said
policies, including all endorsements thereon and those required hereunder, to
Secured Party; and each such Debtor assigns to Secured Party, on behalf of
Banks, as additional security hereunder, all its rights to receive proceeds of
insurance with respect to the Collateral. All such insurance shall, by its
terms, provide that no cancellation, lapse (including without limitation any
lapse for non-payment of premiums) or material change in coverage shall become
effective until thirty (30) days after receipt by Secured Party of written
notice from the applicable carrier. Each Debtor further shall provide Secured
Party upon request with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party that
each such Debtor is at all times in compliance with this paragraph. Secured
Party may act as each such Debtor's attorney-in-fact in obtaining, adjusting,
settling and compromising such insurance and endorsing any drafts. Upon default
in this covenant, Secured Party may procure such insurance and its costs
therefor shall be charged to Company, payable on demand, with interest at the
highest rate set forth in the Credit Agreement and added to the Indebtedness
secured hereby. The disposition of proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral
("Insurance Proceeds") shall be governed by the following:
(i) provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder, (a) if the amount of Insurance Proceeds in respect
of any loss or casualty does not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000), such Debtor shall be entitled, in the event of such loss or
casualty, to receive all such Insurance Proceeds and to apply the same
toward the replacement of the Collateral affected thereby; and (b) if the
amount of Insurance Proceeds in respect of any loss or casualty exceeds
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), such Insurance Proceeds shall
be paid to and received by Secured Party, for release to such Debtor for
the replacement of the Collateral affected thereby or, upon written
request of such Debtor (accompanied by reasonable supporting
documentation), for such other use or purpose as approved by the Majority
Banks, in their reasonable discretion, it being understood and agreed in
connection with any release of funds under this subparagraph (B), that
the Secured Party and Majority Banks may impose reasonable and customary
conditions on the disbursement of such Insurance Proceeds; and
(ii) if an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing
hereunder, all Insurance Proceeds in respect of any loss or casualty
shall be paid to and received by the Secured Party, to be applied by the
Secured Party against the Indebtedness and/or to be held by the Secured
Party as cash collateral for the Indebtedness, as the Majority Banks may
direct in their sole discretion.
(3) The Collateral (except inventory currently under lease) is
located in the premises set forth on Schedule II, and will not be moved to
premises other than those set forth on Schedule II, and such other locations
with respect to which each such Debtor shall have executed and delivered to
Secured Party all financing statements and other documents and instruments
necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of the Secured Party's security
interest in the Collateral. Subject to the applicable terms of the Credit
Agreement, upon request therefor by the Secured Party, each such Debtor will
inform the Secured Party in writing of the whereabouts of the Collateral and
Debtor will promptly arrange for any inspections requested by the Secured Party,
on behalf of Banks;
4
158
(4) Each such Debtor shall comply with all applicable laws,
rules, ordinances, regulations and orders of any governmental authority, whether
federal, state, local or foreign (including without limitation, Consumer Credit
Laws (as defined in the Credit Agreement)), in effect from time to time with
respect to the Collateral, to the full extent required under the Credit
Agreement.
(5) Secured Party, on behalf of the Banks, may, subject to the
applicable terms of the Credit Agreement, examine and inspect the Collateral at
any time wherever located.
C. Protection of Security Interest. Each Debtor agrees that:
(1) Except as permitted by Credit Agreement, it will not sell,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or any interest
therein or offer to do so (other than the sale or lease of inventory in the
ordinary course of business and the sale or other disposition of worn-out or
other unusable items of tangible personal property or items no longer useful to
or necessary in each such Debtor's business) without the prior written consent
of Secured Party, given at the written direction or with the written approval of
Banks, and will not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage,
pledge, encumbrance, security interest, lien or charge of any kind upon any of
the Collateral (or any interest therein or portion thereof), other than in favor
of Secured Party, on behalf of the Banks and liens permitted under the Credit
Agreement.
(2) It will, to the full extent required under the Credit
Agreement, pay all taxes, assessments, governmental charges and levies upon the
Collateral or for its use or operation.
(3) It will sign and execute alone or with Secured Party any
financing statement or other document or procure any documents and pay all
connected costs, necessary to protect the security interest under this Security
Agreement against the rights or interests of third persons.
(4) It will reimburse Secured Party for all reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred for any action taken by Secured
Party to remedy an Event of Default of Debtor which Secured Party elects to
remedy pursuant to its rights under Paragraph IV hereof.
(5) It will,
(i) subject to Section 8.6 of the Credit Agreement,
allow Secured Party, or any Bank, to examine, audit and inspect such Debtor's
books, accounts, and other records relating to the Collateral wherever located
at all reasonable times during normal business hours, upon oral or written
request of Secured Party, and to make and take away copies of any and all such
books, accounts, records and ledgers;
(ii) punctually and properly perform all of its covenants
and duties under any other security agreement, mortgage, collateral document,
pledge agreement or contract of any
5
159
kind now or hereafter existing as security for or in connection with payment of
the Indebtedness, or any part thereof;
(iii) perform its obligations under and comply with the
terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which it is or may become a party;
(iv) keep, at the addresses designated on Schedule II or
at the stores listed on Schedule IV hereto and such additional addresses as may
be provided from time to time for its records, all records concerning the
Collateral, which records will be of such character as will enable Secured Party
or its designees to determine at any time the status of the Collateral;
(v) give Secured Party not less than 30 days prior
written notice of all contemplated changes in such Debtor's name, legal
structure, or chief executive office, or in the location of the Collateral or
such Debtor's records concerning same and, prior to making any such changes,
file or cause to be filed (at the direction of Secured Party) all financing
statements or amendments or other documents or instruments determined by Secured
Party to be necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain a valid first
priority security interest in all the Collateral in accordance with the terms
hereof;
(vi) promptly furnish Secured Party with any information
in writing which Secured Party may reasonably request concerning the Collateral;
(vii) to the extent required under the Credit Agreement,
promptly notify Secured Party of any material claim, action or proceeding
affecting the Collateral and title therein, or in any part thereof, or the
security interest created herein, and, at the request of the Secured Party,
appear in and defend, at such Debtor's expense, any such action or proceeding;
(viii) promptly, after being requested by Secured Party,
pay to Secured Party the amount of all reasonable expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, incurred by Secured Party pursuant to
and in accordance with the Credit Agreement in protecting and maintaining the
Collateral or its rights hereunder, or in connection with any audit or
inspection of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, and in enforcing the
security interest created herein; and
(ix) allow Secured Party, upon and so long as there
exists any Default or Event of Default, to correspond with its account debtors
to confirm its accounts receivable and Obligors under any Rental Contracts.
(6) With respect to any Collateral of a kind requiring an
additional security agreement, financing statement, or other writing to perfect
a security interest therein in favor of Secured Party, on behalf of Banks, such
Debtor will forthwith upon demand by Secured Party execute and deliver to
Secured Party on behalf of Banks, whatever documentation the Secured Party or
the requisite Banks shall reasonably deem necessary or proper for such purpose.
Should any
6
160
covenant, duty or agreement of such Debtor fail to be performed in accordance
with its terms hereunder resulting in an Event of Default, Secured Party may,
but shall never be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant,
duty or agreement on behalf of such Debtor, and any amount expended by Secured
Party in such performance or attempted performance shall become part of the
Indebtedness, and, at the request of Secured Party, such Debtor agrees to pay
such amount to Secured Party upon demand at Secured Party's office in Detroit,
Michigan together with interest thereon at the highest rate at which interest
accrues on amounts after the same become due pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Agreement, from the date of such expenditure by Secured Party until paid. With
respect to any Collateral (other than goods) in which such Debtor acquires any
rights subsequent to the date hereof and which, under applicable law, a security
interest is or can be perfected by possession, upon request of the Secured Party
or the Majority Banks, such Debtor agrees to deliver possession of such
Collateral to Secured Party immediately upon its acquisition of rights therein.
(7) It will hold the proceeds of any of the Collateral
(including accounts receivable and Rental Contracts) which is sold other than in
the ordinary course of such Debtor's business (or otherwise as permitted under
the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms thereof) in trust for Secured Party
on behalf of the Banks, will not commingle said proceeds with any other funds,
and, after an Event of Default, will deliver such proceeds to Secured Party
immediately upon its request.
(8) It will not, except as permitted under the Credit
Agreement, grant any rebate, refund, allowance or credit on any account
receivable, or on any amounts due under any Rental Contract, other than in the
ordinary course of business, without Secured Party's prior written consent.
(9) If Secured Party, acting in its sole discretion, redelivers
any Collateral to such Debtor or such Debtor's designee for the purpose of (i)
the ultimate sale or exchange thereof, or (ii)presentation, collection, renewal,
or registration of transfer thereof, or (iii) loading, unloading, storing,
shipping, transshipping, manufacturing, processing or otherwise dealing
therewith preliminary to sale or exchange; such redelivery shall not constitute
a release of Secured Party's security interest therein or in the proceeds
thereof unless Secured Party, with the consent of the Banks, specifically so
agrees in writing. If such Debtor requests any such redelivery, such Debtor will
deliver with such request a duly executed financing statement in form and
substance satisfactory to Secured Party.
(10) Subject to the applicable terms of the Credit Agreement,
Debtor shall take any and all other steps reasonably required under applicable
law to perfect the lien and security interest established hereby in favor of
Secured Party, on behalf of the Banks, including without limitation the
execution, delivery and/or performance of appropriate acknowledgments,
governmental acknowledgments, registrations or approvals, financing statements
and other documents and instruments, and the registration, recording and/or
filing of such instruments with such Persons and in such jurisdictions as
necessary to perfect the security interest and lien established hereby.
7
161
III. Default
The terms "Default" and "Event of Default", as used herein, shall mean
the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, as the case may be, under
the Credit Agreement.
IV. Secured Party's Rights and Remedies.
In addition to its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and under applicable law, Secured Party shall have
available to it the following rights and remedies upon occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default:
A. Right to Discharge Debtor's Obligations. Secured Party may, with
the approval of the Majority Banks, discharge taxes, liens or security interests
or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral, whether
senior or junior to the security interest herein granted, may remedy or cure any
default of a Debtor under the terms of any lease, rental agreement, land
contract or other document which in any way pertains to or affects such Debtor's
title to or interest in any of the Collateral, may pay for insurance on the
Collateral, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral,
unless such Debtor is contesting in good faith such obligations, and such Debtor
agrees to reimburse Secured Party, on demand, for any payment made or any
expense incurred by Secured Party pursuant to the foregoing authorization, with
interest, which payments and expenses shall be secured by the Collateral.
B. Remedies and Enforcement. Secured Party shall have and may
exercise, at the direction or with the approval of the Majority Banks, any and
all rights of enforcement and remedies afforded to a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code as adopted and in force in the State of Michigan or
other applicable uniform commercial code (or other applicable law), to the full
extent permitted by applicable law, on the date of this Security Agreement or
the date of such Debtor's default, together with any and all other rights and
remedies otherwise provided and available to Secured Party by applicable law
unless such application would result in the invalidity or unenforceability of
any provision hereof, in which case the law of the state in which any of the
Collateral is located shall apply to the extent necessary to render such
provision valid and enforceable; and, in conjunction with, in addition to, or
substitution for those rights, Secured Party may, at the direction or with the
approval of the Majority Banks, or with respect to subparagraph (3) below), all
of the Banks:
(1) Enter upon such Debtor's premises to take possession of,
assemble, collect and/or dispose of the Collateral and, if Secured Party
elects to do, to apply any of the Collateral against any of the
Indebtedness secured hereby;
(2) Require such Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it
available at a place Secured Party designates to allow Secured Party to
take possession or dispose of the Collateral;
8
162
(3) Waive any default, or remedy any default, without waiving
its rights and remedies upon default and without waiving any other prior
or subsequent default;
(4) Without any notice to Debtor, notify any parties obligated
on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Secured Party, on behalf
of the Banks, of any amounts due or to become due thereunder and enforce
collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender,
release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or
renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) the
indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon request of the Secured
Party, Debtor will, at its own expense, notify any parties obligated to
Debtor on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Secured Party of
any amounts due or to become due thereunder, and indicate on all ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
to such account debtors that their accounts must be paid to or as
directed by Secured Party. Debtor agrees that neither Secured Party nor
the Banks shall be liable for any loss or damage which Debtor suffers or
may suffer as a result of Secured Party's processing of items or its
exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Security Agreement,
including without limitation indirect, special or consequential damages,
loss of revenues or profits, or any claim, demand or action by any third
party not related to or affiliated with Debtor arising out of or in
connection with the processing of items (excluding only the claims of
such third parties in connection with the processing of items based
solely upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party)
or the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder. Debtor further
agrees to indemnify and hold Secured Party and the Banks harmless from
and against all such third party claims, demands or actions, including
without limitation litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees,
excepting only those claims, demands and actions arising solely as a
result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party or
any of the Banks;
(5) Appoint any officer or agent of Secured Party as Debtor's
true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with power, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default (exercisable so long as such Event of
Default is continuing); to endorse such Debtor's name or any of its
officers or agents (if required) upon any notes, checks, drafts, money
orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under
any policy of insurance on the Collateral) or Collateral that may come
into possession of the Secured Party in full or part payment of any
amounts owing to the Banks; to sign and endorse the name of such Debtor
and/or any of its officers or agents (if required) upon any invoice,
freight or express ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ of lading, storage or warehouse receipts,
drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in
connection with accounts, and any instrument or document relating thereto
or to such Debtor's rights therein; to execute on behalf of such Debtor
any financing statements, amendments, subordinations or other filings
pursuant to the Credit Agreement, this Security Agreement or the other
Loan Documents; such Debtor hereby granting unto Secured Party on behalf
of the Banks, as the proxy and attorney-in-fact of Debtor, full power to
do any and all things necessary to be done in and about the premises as
fully and effectually as Debtor might or could do, and hereby ratifying
all that said proxy and attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue hereof. The proxy and power of attorney described herein shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall be
9
163
irrevocable for the entire term of the Credit Agreement, the Notes and
all transactions thereunder and thereafter as long as any Indebtedness or
any of the commitments to lend (whether optional or obligatory) remain
outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Secured Party shall have full
power to collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise deal with the
Collateral or proceeds thereof on behalf of the Banks in its own name or
in the name of such Debtor, provided that Secured Party shall act in a
commercially reasonable manner.
C. Right of Sale.
(1) Each Debtor agrees that upon the occurrence and continuance
of an Event of Default, Secured Party may, at its option, sell and
dispose of the Collateral at public or private sale without any previous
demand of performance. Each Debtor agrees that notice of such sale sent
to such Debtor's address, as set forth on the signature pages attached
hereto, by certified or registered mail sent at least five (5) Business
Days prior to such sale, shall constitute reasonable notice of sale. The
foregoing shall not require notice if none is necessary under applicable
law. The proceeds of sale shall be applied in the following order:
(i) to all reasonable costs and charges incurred by
Secured Party in the taking and causing the removal and sale of
said property, including such reasonable attorneys' fees as shall
have been incurred by Secured Party;
(ii) to the Indebtedness, including without limitation
all accrued interest thereon, premiums and make whole amounts, if
any, in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement; and
(iii) any surplus of such proceeds remaining shall be paid
to such Debtor, or to such other party who shall lawfully be
entitled thereto.
(2) At any sale or sales made pursuant to this Security
Agreement or in a suit to foreclose the same, the Collateral may be sold
en masse or separately, at the same or at different times, at the option
of the Secured Party or its assigns. Such sale may be public or private
with notice as required by the Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect
in the state in which the Collateral is located, and the Collateral need
not be present at the time or place of sale. At any such sale, the
Secured Party may bid for and purchase any of the property sold,
notwithstanding that such sale is conducted by the Secured Party or its
attorneys, agents, or assigns.
D. Miscellaneous. Secured Party shall have the right at all times to
enforce the provisions of this Security Agreement, on behalf of Banks, in strict
accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the
part of Secured Party or any of the Banks in refraining from so doing at any
time or times. The failure of Secured Party or any of the Banks at any time or
times to enforce its rights under said provisions strictly in accordance with
the same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner
contrary to the specific provisions of this Security Agreement or as having in
any way or manner modified the same. All
10
164
rights and remedies of Secured Party and Banks hereunder shall be cumulative and
concurrent, and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver
or release of any other right or remedy.
VI. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Debtors.
Each Debtor represents and warrants, and, after the date hereof,
covenants so long as any of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or Letter of Credit
Agreements remain in effect, that:
A. Such Debtor's chief executive office and principal place of
business are set forth in Schedule III hereto, and (except for Company's chief
executive office and principal place of business as set forth in Schedule III
hereto) such Debtor has not maintained its chief executive office and principal
place of business at any other location since October 15, 1997.
B. Each other location not set forth on Schedule II hereof where
Debtor maintains a place of business is set forth on Schedule IV.
C. No financing statement covering the Collateral, or any part
thereof, has been or will be filed with any filing officer, except as permitted
under the Credit Agreement.
D. No other agreement, pledge or assignment covering the Collateral,
or any part thereof, has been or will be made and no security interest, other
than the one created hereby or pursuant to security agreements and pledges
previously made in favor of Secured Party on behalf of the Banks, has or will be
attached or has been or will be perfected in the Collateral or in any part
thereof, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.
E. No material dispute, right of setoff, counterclaim or defenses
exist with respect to any part of the Collateral (excluding accounts, accounts
receivable and rights to payment for services rendered), except as permitted
under the Credit Agreement.
F. At the time Secured Party's security interest attaches to any of
the Collateral or its proceeds, such Debtor will be the lawful owner thereof
with the right to transfer any interest therein (except for such interests which
in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect), such Collateral is
free and clear of all liens other than the one created hereby or permitted by
the Credit Agreement and that such Debtor will make such further assurances to
prove its title to the Collateral as may be reasonably required, will keep such
Collateral free and clear of all liens other than the one created hereby and
liens permitted by the Credit Agreement, and will take such action to defend the
Collateral and its proceeds against the lawful claims and demands of all persons
whomsoever. The delivery at any time by such Debtor to Secured Party of
Collateral, or financing statements covering any Collateral shall constitute a
representation and warranty by such Debtor under this Security Agreement that,
with respect to such Collateral, and each item thereof, such Debtor is owner of
the Collateral and the matters heretofore warranted in this paragraph are true
and correct in all material respects.
11
165
G. The representations and warranties contained in any of the Credit
Agreement and the Guaranty are incorporated by reference herein and are all made
as of the date hereof.
H. It shall, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, execute and deliver to the Agent an Agreement (Trademark) in the
form of Exhibit A hereto, and shall execute and deliver to the Agent any other
document required to acknowledge or register or perfect the Agent's and the
Banks' interest in any of the Collateral described in Section I(d).
VII. Mutual Agreements.
Each Debtor and Secured Party mutually agree as follows:
A. "Debtor" and "Secured Party" as used in this Security Agreement
include the successors and permitted assigns of those parties.
B. To the extent permitted by applicable law, except as otherwise
provided herein, the law governing this Security Agreement shall be that of the
State of Michigan.
C. This Security Agreement includes all amendments and supplements
hereto and all assignments hereof, provided, that such Debtor and Secured Party
shall not be bound by any amendment hereto unless such amendment is expressed in
a writing executed by each of them.
D. All capitalized or other terms not specifically defined herein are
used as defined in the Credit Agreement. To the extent not inconsistent
therewith, all such terms shall also be construed in conformity with the
Michigan or other applicable Uniform Commercial Code.
E. The security interest granted under this Security Agreement shall
be a continuing security interest in every respect (whether or not the
outstanding balance of the Indebtedness is from time to time temporarily reduced
to zero) and Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral as granted
herein shall continue in full force and effect for the entire duration that the
Credit Agreement remains in effect and until all of the Indebtedness is repaid
and discharged in full, and no commitment (whether optional or obligatory) to
extend any credit under the Credit Agreement or any of the Notes remains
outstanding.
F. THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS
SUBJECT TO THE MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL CONTAINED IN THE APPLICABLE
PROVISIONS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE GUARANTY, AS APPLICABLE.
G. This Security Agreement has been executed and delivered pursuant
to the Credit Agreement, and in the event of any conflict between this Security
Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall govern.
12
166
H. This Security Agreement amends and restates in part the Prior
Comerica Credit Agreement, and the security agreement executed and delivered in
connection with Prior Bank One Credit Agreement, in each case assigned to the
Agent for the benefit of the Banks pursuant to Assignment Agreements dated as of
the Effective Date.
I. Each of the Debtors hereby irrevocably submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal Court or Michigan state
court sitting in Detroit, Michigan or Texas state court sitting in Dallas
County, Texas in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Security Agreement and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such United States
Federal Court or Michigan state court or Texas state court. Each Debtor
irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or
proceeding brought in any court in or of the State of Michigan or the State of
Texas by the delivery of copies of such process to such Debtor at its address
specified in Schedule II hereto or by certified mail directed to such address.
Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of the Banks and the Secured
Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right
of the Banks or the Secured Party (or any of them) to bring any such action or
proceeding against any of the Debtors or any of its or their property in the
courts of any other jurisdiction. Each of the Debtors hereby irrevocably waives
any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in the above
described courts.

together with interest thereon as provided for herein or therein; and
also as security for all other indebtedness and liabilities, whether direct,

"Indebtedness").
B. Protection of Security Interest.
(1) Company shall take any and all steps required to protect the
Collateral, and in pursuance thereof Company agrees that Company shall deliver
or caused to be delivered to Secured Party and Secured Party shall receive
possession, on behalf of Banks, of certificates representing all of the pledged
shares referred to in Schedule A-1, properly endorsed or with assignments
separate from such certificates in blank for transfer. In addition Secured Party
shall receive proof that appropriate acknowledgments, governmental approvals,
share register entries, local pledge agreements, financing statements,
collateral and other documents covering the Collateral have been executed and
delivered by the appropriate parties and recorded on file with such Persons and
in such jurisdictions as necessary to perfect the security interests, or other
liens granted hereby and/or thereby. The Secured Party from time to time shall
revise Schedule A-1 hereto and promptly deliver a copy thereto to Company and
the Banks, on the effective date of the acquisition or creation by Company of a
Subsidiary, adding to Schedule A-1 the name of each such Subsidiary so acquired
or created, and upon such revision, Company shall be deemed to have pledged 100%
of the capital stock (or other ownership interests) of each such Subsidiary so
acquired or created to Secured Party for and on behalf of Banks.
(2) It will not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any of
the Collateral or any interest therein or offer to do so without the prior
written consent of Secured Party, given at the direction of the Majority Banks,
or permit anything to be done that may materially impair the value of any of the
Collateral or the security intended to be afforded by this Stock Pledge.
(3) It will, subject to the applicable terms of the Credit Agreement,
pay all taxes and assessments upon the Collateral or for its use or operation
before any interest or penalty for nonpayment attaches thereto unless said
payment is being contested in good faith and it establishes a reserve as
required by generally accepted accounting principles.
(4) It will, subject to the applicable terms of the Credit Agreement,
sign and execute alone or with Secured Party any financing statement or other
document or procure any documents and pay all reasonable connected costs,
necessary to protect the security interest under this Stock Pledge against the
rights or interests of third persons.
(5) It will, subject to the applicable terms of the Credit Agreement,
reimburse Secured Party for all reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred for any action taken by Secured Party to remedy an
Event of Default which Secured Party elects to remedy pursuant to its rights
under Article VI hereof.
(6) It will:
3
199

Agreement, allow Secured Party to examine, audit and inspect
Company's books, accounts, records (including without limitation
all records relating to the Collateral or the Indebtedness),
ledgers and assets and properties of every kind and description
wherever located at all reasonable times during normal business
hours, upon oral or written request of Secured Party, and to make
and take away copies of any and all such books, accounts, records
and ledgers. An examination of the records or properties of the
Company may require revealment of proprietary and/or confidential
data and information, and the provisions of Section 14.12 of the
Credit Agreement are incorporated herein;
(ii) punctually and properly perform all of its covenants
and duties under any other security agreement, mortgage,
collateral pledge agreement or contract of any kind now or
hereafter existing as security for or in connection with payment
of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof;
(iii) perform its obligations under the Loan Documents;
(iv) promptly furnish Secured Party with any information
in writing which Secured Party may reasonably request concerning
the Collateral;
(v) promptly notify Secured Party of any material change
in any fact or circumstances warranted or represented by Company
in this Stock Pledge or in any other writing furnished by Company
to Secured Party in connection with the Collateral or the
Indebtedness;
(vi) promptly notify Secured Party of any material claim,
action or proceeding affecting the Collateral and title therein,
or in any part thereof, or the security interest created herein,
and, at the request of the Secured Party, appear in and defend, at
Company's expense, any such action or proceeding; and
(vii) promptly, after being requested by Secured Party,
pay to Secured Party the amount of all reasonable expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses,
incurred by Secured Party in protecting and maintaining the
Collateral or its rights hereunder, or in connection with any
audit or inspection of the Collateral pursuant to the terms
hereof, and in enforcing the security interest created herein.
(7) With respect to any Collateral of a kind requiring an additional
security agreement, financing statement, or other writing to perfect a security
interest therein in favor of Secured Party, on behalf of Banks, Company will
forthwith execute and deliver to Secured Party on behalf of Banks, whatever the
Secured Party or the Majority Banks shall deem necessary or proper for such
purpose. Should any covenant, duty or agreement of Company fail to be performed

203
if none is necessary under applicable law. The proceeds of sale shall be

the Secured Party or its attorneys, agents, or assigns.
E. Miscellaneous. Secured Party shall have the right at all times to
enforce the provisions of this Stock Pledge on behalf of Banks in strict
accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the
part of Secured Party in refraining from so doing at any time or times. The
failure of Secured Party at any time or times to enforce its rights under said
provisions strictly in accordance with the same shall not be construed as having
created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific provisions of
this Stock Pledge or as having in any way or manner modified the same. All
rights and remedies of Secured Party and Banks are cumulative and concurrent,
and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release

or instruments described in this Stock Pledge or the other Loan Documents;
together with interest thereon as provided for herein or therein; and
also as security for all other indebtedness and liabilities, whether direct,
indirect, absolute or contingent, owing by the Company to the Banks in any
manner under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, which hereafter become
due, or that may hereafter be incurred by the Company to or acquired (pursuant

Collateral or the security intended to be afforded by this Stock Pledge.
(3) It will, subject to the applicable terms of the Credit Agreement,
pay all taxes and assessments upon the Collateral or for its use or operation

required by generally accepted accounting principles.
(4) It will, subject to the applicable terms of the Credit Agreement,
sign and execute alone or with Secured Party any financing statement or other
document or procure any documents and pay all reasonable connected costs,
necessary to protect the security interest under this Stock Pledge against the
rights or interests of third persons.
(5) It will, subject to the applicable terms of the Credit Agreement,

Credit Agreement are incorporated herein;

collateral pledge agreement or contract of any kind now or

in any fact or circumstances warranted or represented by Pledgor
in this Stock Pledge or in any other writing furnished by Pledgor
to Secured Party in connection with the Collateral or the
Indebtedness;
(vi) promptly notify Secured Party of any material claim,
action or proceeding affecting the Collateral and title therein,
or in any part thereof, or the security interest created herein,
and, at the request of the Secured Party, appear in and defend, at
Pledgor's expense, any such action or proceeding; and
(vii) promptly, after being requested by Secured Party,
pay to Secured Party the amount of all reasonable expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses,
incurred by Secured Party in protecting and maintaining the
Collateral or its rights hereunder, or in connection with any
audit or inspection of the Collateral pursuant to the terms
hereof, and in enforcing the security interest created herein.
(7) With respect to any Collateral of a kind requiring an additional
security agreement, financing statement, or other writing to perfect a security
interest therein in favor of Secured Party, on behalf of Banks, Pledgor will
forthwith execute and deliver to Secured Party on behalf of Banks, whatever the
Secured Party or the Majority Banks shall deem necessary or proper for such
purpose. Should any covenant, duty or agreement of Pledgor fail to be performed
in accordance with its terms hereunder, Secured Party may, but shall never be
obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such
4
212
covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of Pledgor, and any amount expended by
Secured Party in such performance or attempted performance shall become part of
the Indebtedness, and, at the request of Secured Party, Pledgor agrees to pay
such amount to Secured Party upon demand at Secured Party's office in Detroit,
Michigan together with interest thereon at the highest rate which interest
accrues on amounts after the same become due pursuant to the terms of any note
executed pursuant to the Credit Agreement from the date of such expenditure by
Secured Party until paid. With respect to any Collateral in which Pledgor
acquires any rights subsequent to the date hereof and which, under applicable
law, a security interest is or can be perfected by possession, Pledgor agrees to
deliver possession of such Collateral to Secured Party immediately upon its
acquisition of rights therein.
(8) Pledgor will hold the proceeds of any of the Collateral in trust
for Secured Party on behalf of the Banks, will not commingle said proceeds with
any other funds, and, after an Event of Default, will deliver such proceeds to
Secured Party at its request.
(9) If Secured Party, acting in its sole discretion, redelivers any
Collateral to Pledgor or Pledgor's designee for the purpose of
(i) the ultimate sale or exchange thereof, or
(ii) presentation, collection, renewal, or registration
of transfer thereof,
such redelivery shall not constitute a release of Secured Party's security
interest therein or in the proceeds thereof unless Secured Party, with the
consent of the Majority Banks, specifically so agrees in writing.
(10) If Pledgor requests any such redelivery, Pledgor will deliver with
such request a duly executed financing statement in form and substance
satisfactory to Secured Party.

Agreement or this Stock Pledge, or provided by law. Additionally, upon an Event

to lend remain outstanding. The Secured Party shall have full power, subject to
applicable law to collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise deal with the

solely upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party)
or the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder. Pledgor
further agrees to indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless from and
against all such third party claims, demands or actions, including
without limitation litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
D. Right of Sale.
(1) Pledgor agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default (taking into account applicable periods of cure, if any), Secured
Party may, at its option, sell and dispose of the Collateral at public or
private sale without any previous demand of performance. Pledgor agrees
that notice of such sale sent to Pledgor's address, as set forth in the
Credit Agreement, by certified or registered mail sent at least five (5)
days prior to such sale, shall constitute reasonable notice of sale. The
foregoing shall not require notice
7
215
if none is necessary under applicable law. The proceeds of sale shall be
applied in the following order:
(i) to all reasonable costs and charges incurred by
Secured Party in the taking and causing the removal and sale of
said property, including such reasonable attorneys' fees as shall
have been incurred by Secured Party;
(ii) to the Indebtedness, including all accrued interest
thereon; and
(iii) any surplus of such proceeds remaining shall be paid
to the Pledgor, or to such other party who shall lawfully be
entitled thereto.
(2) At any sale or sales made pursuant to this Stock Pledge or
in a suit to foreclose the same, the Collateral may be sold en masse or
separately, at the same or at different times, at the option of the
Secured Party or its assigns. Such sale may be public or private with
notice as required by the Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect in
the state in which the Collateral is located, and the Collateral need not
be present at the time or place of sale. At any such sale, the Secured
Party or the holder of any note hereby secured may bid for and purchase
any of the property sold, notwithstanding that such sale is conducted by
the Secured Party or its attorneys, agents, or assigns.
E. Miscellaneous. Secured Party shall have the right at all times to
enforce the provisions of this Stock Pledge on behalf of Banks in strict
accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the
part of Secured Party in refraining from so doing at any time or times. The
failure of Secured Party at any time or times to enforce its rights under said
provisions strictly in accordance with the same shall not be construed as having
created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific provisions of
this Stock Pledge or as having in any way or manner modified the same. All
rights and remedies of Secured Party and Banks are cumulative and concurrent,
and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release
of any other right or remedy.
VII. Representations and Warranties of Pledgor.
Pledgor represents and warrants, as continuing representations and
warranties so long as the Credit Agreement remains in effect, that:
A. The individual signatory hereto has authority to execute and
deliver this Stock Pledge on behalf of Pledgor.
B. No financing statement covering the Collateral, or any part

part thereof.
D. No material dispute, right of setoff, counterclaim or defenses
exist with respect to any part of the Collateral.
E. All information supplied and statements made in any financial or
credit statements or application for credit prior to the execution of this Stock
Pledge are true and correct as of the date hereof in all material respects.

(3) is fully paid and non-assessable, (4) is freely and validly assignable by
Pledgor, and (5) is not subject to any option, warrant right to call or
commitment of any kind or nature.
G. At the time Secured Party's security interest attaches to any of
the Collateral or its proceeds, Pledgor will be the lawful owner with the right
to transfer any interest therein, and that Pledgor will make such further
assurances as to prove its title to the Collateral as may be reasonably required
and will defend the Collateral and its proceeds against the lawful claims and
demands of all persons whomsoever. The delivery at any time by Pledgor to
Secured Party of Collateral or financing statements covering Collateral shall
constitute a representation and warranty by Pledgor under this Stock Pledge

INTERCOMPANY NOTE
[RTO OPERATING, INC., AS MAKER]
[RTO HOLDINGS CO., INC., AS HOLDER]
February 26, 1998
ON DEMAND, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, RTO OPERATING, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("MAKER") promises to pay to the order of RTO HOLDINGS CO., INC., a
Delaware corporation ("HOLDER") at such place as shall be designated from time
to time by Maker to Holder, in lawful money of the United States of America or
in such other currencies applicable to any particular advance made hereunder
(each an "Advance" and, collectively, the "Advances") which may, from time to
time, be outstanding hereunder or on the books of the Holder the aggregate
amount of such Advances as may from time to time have been advanced by Holder to
Maker and then be outstanding hereunder, together with interest thereon as
hereinafter set forth.
Each Advance shall bear interest at a per annum rate as the Maker and
the Holder shall mutually agree to.
Interest on the unpaid balance of all Advances shall be payable in
immediately available funds quarterly commencing on April 1, 1998 and on the
first day of each calendar quarter thereafter. Interest accruing shall be
computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of
days elapsed.
This Note is a note under which advances, repayments and readvances may
be made from time to time, subject to the Funds Flow Agreement dated as of
February 26, 1998 by and among (inter alia) the Maker, the Holder and Comerica
Bank, as Agent (as such term is defined below). This Note is secured by liens
granted pursuant to that certain Security Agreement dated as of the February 26,
1998 between Maker as debtor and Holder as secured party.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
as defined in that certain Alrenco Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of
February 26, 1998 (as amended, or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Credit Agreement") by and among Alrenco, Inc.("Company"), certain financial
institutions from time to time signatory thereto (the "Banks") and Comerica
Bank, as Agent for the Banks (the "Agent"), and following receipt of notice from
the Agent, (A) no payments may be made of the principal of or interest on this
Note, and (B) this Note shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the
Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
During the period when payments of interest hereon are not permitted by
the preceding paragraph, interest shall accrue and be added to principal on each
interest payment date.
221
Maker agrees, and Holder by accepting this Note agrees, that: (A) the
obligations evidenced by this Note are subordinated in right of payment, to the
prior payment in full of all the Indebtedness; the subordination is for the
benefit of the holders of the Indebtedness, and each holder of Indebtedness
whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed
shall be deemed to have acquired Indebtedness in reliance upon the covenants and
provisions contained in this Note; (B) if Maker is prohibited by the terms of
this Note from making any payment of principal, interest or any other sum under
or in respect of this Note when due, and therefore the Maker shall fail to pay
when due any such sum, such failure shall not constitute a default or event of
default under and in respect of this Note (provided that interest shall continue
to accrue as provided herein and be added to principal as herein set forth); and
(C) no revision to any provision of this Note applicable or relevant to the
subordination of this Note to the Indebtedness shall be made or become effective
until approved in writing by the holders of the Indebtedness.
Holder waives notice of acceptance of this Note and presentment,
demand, protest, notice of protest, dishonor, notice of dishonor, notice of
default and diligence in collecting any Indebtedness. This Note is immediately
binding on the Holder. Holder further waives any and all other notices to which
Holder might otherwise be entitled. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the
Agent's rights under this Note are not conditioned upon pursuit by the Agent of
any remedy the Agent may have against the Company or any other person or any
other security. The absence of the Company's signature at the end of this Note
shall in no way impair or affect the validity of this Note.
The relative priorities of the Agent and Holder in the Collateral as
set forth in this Note control irrespective of the time, method or order of
attachment or perfection of the liens and security interests acquired by the
parties in the Collateral and irrespective of the priorities as would otherwise
be determined by reference to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable
laws.
Possession by the Agent of any note or other evidence of indebtedness
made, endorsed or guaranteed by Borrower shall be conclusive evidence (but not
the only means of establishing) that Borrower is indebted to the Agent and that
this indebtedness is covered by this Note.
This Note shall constitute a continuing agreement of subordination,
even though at times Borrower is not indebted to the Agent. The Agent may
continue, in reliance on this Note, without notice to Holder, to lend monies,
extend credit, modify, renew or make other financial accommodations, to or for
the account of Borrower. From time to time, the Agent may enter into any
agreements with the Borrower or any party who may have pledged property or be
responsible for payment of any Indebtedness, as the Agent may determine,
extending the time of payment or renewing or otherwise altering the terms of all
or any of the Indebtedness and the agreements related to it or the Collateral or
affecting any security (including without limit the Collateral), pledge, or
guaranty for it, or may exchange, sell, release, surrender or otherwise deal
with any such security (including without limit the Collateral), pledge, or
guaranty or may release any balance of funds of the Borrower with the Agent,
without notice to the Holder and without in any way impairing or affecting this
Note.

222
Upon any distribution (whether cash, securities or other property, by
setoff or otherwise) to creditors of Maker in a liquidation or dissolution of
Maker or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar
proceeding relating to Maker or its property: (A) holders of Indebtedness shall
be entitled to payment in full of all obligations with respect to the
Indebtedness (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding
at the rates specified for the applicable Indebtedness) to the date of payment
of the Indebtedness before Holder shall be entitled to receive any payment of
any obligations with respect to this Note; and (B) until all obligations with
respect to the Indebtedness are paid in full, any distribution to which Holder
would be entitled shall be made to holders of Indebtedness as their interests
may appear.
No right of any holder of Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of
the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be impaired by any act or failure
to act by the Maker or by its failure to comply with the terms and conditions of
this Note.
This Note shall be interpreted and the rights of the parties hereunder
shall be determined under the laws of, and enforceable in, the State of
Michigan.
Maker hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice
of dishonor and nonpayment of this Note and agrees that no obligation hereunder
shall be discharged by reason of any extension, indulgence, release, or
forbearance granted by any holder of this Note to any party now or hereafter
liable hereon or any present or subsequent owner of any property, real or
personal, which is now or hereafter security for this Note.
Nothing herein shall limit any right granted Holder by any other
instrument or by law.
