S. C. §§ 101-1330 (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and Rules 2002, 4001(c) and 9014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), for the Debtors, inter alia, (i) to amend their existing Post-Petition Financing (as defined below) to, among other things, extend the term thereof and reduce the commitment from up to $500,000,000 to up to $250,000,000 (the “Commitment”), including revolving loans and letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) pursuant to the First Amendment to Post-Petition Credit Agreement attached hereto as Appendix A (the “First Amendment”); (ii) to continue to obtain post-petition financing (the “Post-Petition Financing”) pursuant to an agreement (a copy of which, excluding the schedules, is attached to the Original Order (as hereinafter defined) as Appendix A and incorporated herein by reference) among Borrowers, Bank of America, N.A.

THE COURT HEREBY FINDS AND CONCLUDES that:

A. On October 5, 2000 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtors each filed a voluntary petition for relief with this Court under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors are continuing in possession of their property, and operating and managing their businesses, as debtors in possession, pursuant to sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

B. This Court has jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases and the Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b) and 1334. The Motion presents a core proceeding as defined in 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2).

C. The ability of the Debtors to pay employees, maintain business relationships with vendors and suppliers, purchase new inventory, ship and distribute materials throughout the manufacturing process, and otherwise finance their operations is essential to the Debtors’ continued viability. The preservation, maintenance and enhancement of the going concern value of the Debtors, as well as the protection of the interests of others as described herein, are of the utmost significance and importance to a successful reorganization of the Debtors under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

D. Given the Debtors’ current financial condition and capital structure, financing on a post-petition basis is not available without the Debtors’ granting, pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, claims having priority over any and all post-petition claims and administrative expenses of the kinds specified in, or ordered or arising under any sections of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, 503(b), 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c), 726 or 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such claims or expenses may become secured by a judgment lien or other non-consensual lien, levy or attachment.

E. Notice of the Final Hearing and the relief requested in the Motion has been given to each of the parties listed on Appendix B hereto. Based upon all of the foregoing, sufficient and adequate notice under the circumstances of the Final Hearing and the relief requested in the Motion has been given and the Final Hearing has been held pursuant to sections 102(l) and 364(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 4001(c).

F. The terms of the Post-Petition Financing appear to be fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors’ exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duty and are supported by reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration. The Post-Petition Financing has been negotiated in good faith and at arms-length between the Debtors and the Lenders, and any credit extended and loans made to the Debtors (“Loans”) and Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Debtors pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been extended, issued or made, as the case may be, in good faith as required by, and within the meaning of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Lenders are entitled to the protections of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

G. This Court concludes that entry of this Order is in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates and creditors because its implementation, among other things, will allow for the availability to the Debtors of working capital which is necessary to support and sustain the operations of the Debtors’ existing businesses and enhance the Debtors’ prospects for successful reorganizations.

H. On November 17, 2000, this Court entered a Final Order Authorizing Post-Petition Financing on a Superpriority Administrative Claim Basis Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §364(c)(1) and Granting Relief From the Automatic Stay Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §362 (the “Original Order”).

I. Each of the foregoing findings by the Court will be deemed a finding of fact if and to the full extent that it makes and contains factual findings and a conclusion of law if and to the full extent that it makes legal conclusions.

Based upon the foregoing findings and conclusions, and upon the record made before this Court at the Preliminary Hearing and the Final Hearing, and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Motion is granted, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Order.

2. The Debtors are each expressly authorized, empowered and directed to execute and deliver to the Lenders the Credit Agreement, the Notes (to the extent requested by the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents), the First Amendment and any other document of any kind required to be executed and delivered in connection therewith. The Debtors are each hereby authorized, obligated and directed to comply with and perform, and shall be bound by, all of the terms, conditions and waivers contained in the Loan Documents, and the Debtors are each authorized, obligated and directed to repay amounts borrowed, with interest and any other allowed charges, to the Lenders in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents and this Order. No obligation, payment or transfer under the Loan Documents shall be stayed, restrained, voidable, avoidable or recoverable under the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable State Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar federal or state statute or common law unless such obligation, payment or transfer was incurred or made with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall not limit any rights of the Debtors arising from a default by Lenders under the Credit Agreement. The Debtors are hereby further authorized, obligated and directed to pay all facility, commitment, amendment and other fees and expenses, including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and expenses of professionals engaged by the Agent or any Lender to the extent required under the Credit Agreement and/or the First Amendment. All loans made under the Credit Agreement and interest thereon, together with all reimbursement and other obligations in respect of letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, and all fees, costs, expenses, indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Debtors to the Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents and this Order are referred to herein as the “Obligations.”

3. The Debtors are hereby expressly authorized to borrow from the Lenders, on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Loan Documents and this Order, up to $250,000,000 (inclusive of Letters of Credit). The Debtors are authorized to use the proceeds of the Loans, and to request the issuance of Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, for the purposes permitted under the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Loans, Letters of Credit, or related cash or any portion of the carve-out amount provided for in paragraph 5(c) below may be used to object to or contest in any manner, or raise any defenses to, the validity, priority or enforceability of the Obligations owing to the Lenders or Agent, or the claims or rights in favor of the Lenders or Agent securing such Obligations, or to assert any claims or causes of action against the Lenders or Agent in their capacity as lenders or agents under the Post-Petition Financing.

4. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary herein, in accordance with section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Obligations shall constitute allowed claims (sometimes referred to as the “Superpriority Administrative Claims”) with priority in payment from the Debtors’ assets, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, over any and all unsecured prepetition claims, all post-petition claims and all administrative expenses of the kinds specified in, or arising or ordered under any sections of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, sections 503(b), 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c), 726 and 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such claims or expenses may become secured by a judgment lien or other non-consensual lien, levy or attachment, and the Superpriority Administrative Claims shall at all times be senior to the rights of the Debtors, any Chapter 11 trustee, any Chapter 7 trustee, or any other creditor (including, without limitation, post-petition vendors and other post-petition creditors) in the Chapter 11 Cases or any subsequent proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, any Chapter 7 cases if any of the Debtors’ cases are converted to cases under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, subject only to the Carve-Out, valid and unavoidable allowed liens or security interests to the extent and in the amounts existing as of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases and liens permitted under Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement. No cost or expense of administration arising under sections 105, 364(c)(1), 503(b), 506(c), 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, any other section of the Bankruptcy Code, or pursuant to any other order of this Court (whether entered prior to, on, or after the date hereof), shall be senior to, equal to, or pari passu with, the Superpriority Administrative Claim of the Lenders arising out of the Obligations, whether or not such claims or expenses may become secured by a judgment lien or other non-consensual lien, levy or attachment (subject only to the Carve-Out). As long as no unwaived Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred (each a “Carve-Out Event”), the Debtors shall be permitted to pay compensation and reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to a Carve-Out Event authorized to be paid under sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, as the same may be due and payable, and such payments shall not reduce the Carve-Out.

5. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Order or the Credit Agreement, the Superpriority Administrative Claims granted to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement and this Order shall be subject and subordinate only to (a) valid and unavoidable allowed liens or security interests to the extent and in the amounts existing as of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases and liens permitted under Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement; (b) prior to the occurrence of a Carve-Out Event, unpaid professional fees and disbursements incurred by the professionals retained, pursuant to sections 327 or 1103(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, by the Debtors and any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases, and approved and allowed by this Court pursuant to sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code; (c) following the occurrence and during the pendency of a Carve-Out Event, the payment of allowed professional fees and disbursements incurred after the occurrence and during the pendency of a Carve-Out Event by the professionals retained, pursuant to sections 327 or 1103(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, by the Debtors and statutory committees appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000; and (d) quarterly fees required to be paid pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6) and any fees payable to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and any agent thereof (collectively, clauses (b), (c) and (d), the “Carve-Out”).

6. As long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid, or any Loan Document remains in effect (in addition to any other Events of Default set forth in the Credit Agreement), it shall constitute an Event of Default if (a) there shall be entered any order dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases, appointing a trustee in any of the Chapter 11 Cases (except for a trustee with the sole power to pursue avoidance actions on behalf of the Debtors under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code), or converting any of the Chapter 11 Cases to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or the Debtors seek any of the foregoing relief; or (b) there shall be entered in any of the Chapter 11 Cases or any subsequent Chapter 7 case any order which authorizes under any section of the Bankruptcy Code, including section 105 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (i) the granting of any post-petition lien or security interest in any property of the Debtors in favor of any person other than the Agent and the Lenders other than liens permitted under Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) the obtaining of credit or the incurring of indebtedness for borrowed money from any person other than the Agent and the Lenders other than Debt permitted under Section 7.12 of the Credit Agreement, or the Debtors shall seek any of the foregoing relief; unless, in connection with any transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Paragraph 6, such order requires that the Obligations shall first be indefeasibly paid in full in cash (including cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit or the deposit of standby Letters of Credit with Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto). The Debtors expressly waive any right to request this Court’s approval of any such orders or transactions as described in this paragraph.

7. Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary herein, no Chapter 11 case with respect to any Borrower shall be converted to a Chapter 7 case, no Chapter 11 case or Chapter 7 case with respect to any Borrower shall be dismissed, and, except as permitted by Paragraph 6 hereof or Sections 7.8 or 7.17 of the Credit Agreement, no unencumbered assets of any Debtors’ estate shall be encumbered, further encumbered (if already encumbered on the date hereof), divested, abandoned, placed in escrow or trust, or sold (except in the ordinary course of business on usual and customary terms) or otherwise disposed of and no order shall be entered authorizing the Debtors or any of them to obtain credit or borrow money pursuant to Section 364 except for the Obligations, without the Agent’s written consent, unless, in each case, the Obligations shall first be indefeasibly paid in full in cash (including cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit or the deposit of standby Letters of Credit with Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto). Except as otherwise agreed by the appropriate number of Lenders pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, no plan shall be confirmed in any of the Chapter 11 Cases unless it provides for the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations (including cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit or the deposit of standby Letters of Credit with Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto) on the effective date of such plan. Except as otherwise agreed by the appropriate number of Lenders pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, until the Obligations are indefeasibly repaid in full in cash (including cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit or the deposit of standby Letters of Credit with Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto), and notwithstanding any order of dismissal or plan confirmation entered in the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases, the Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction of the Debtors’ assets to enforce and implement payment of the Superpriority Administrative Claim of the Agent and the Lenders from the assets of the Debtors. Notwithstanding any order of dismissal or plan confirmation entered in the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases, the Court shall also retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce and implement payment of any Intercompany Superpriority Administrative Claims (as defined below).

8. The automatic stay imposed pursuant to section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any and all other stays and injunctions which are or may be applicable, shall be and hereby are modified and vacated as to the Lenders and the Agent and all of their rights, remedies and interests so that if an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs, consistent with the terms of this Order and the Loan Documents, the Lenders and their Agent shall be entitled to exercise any and all of their rights and remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (copies of which default provisions are attached hereto as Appendix C to this Order and incorporated herein by reference), the Agent and the Lenders may, acting pursuant to the Credit Agreement and upon five Business Days written notice to the “Future Representative” (as defined in the Motion), and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants (the “Committees”) (except as to clause (a) below, for which such notice shall not be required, and except that, contemporaneously with or following such written notice to the Future Representative and the Committees, the Agent may make demand upon Debtor ▇▇▇▇▇ Corning for payment in full of all Obligations on the fifth Business Day following such notice or thereafter, with notice of such demand to be provided contemporaneously to the Future Representative and the Committees), exercise their rights and remedies and take all or any of the following actions without further relief from the automatic stay pursuant to section 362(a) Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable stay or injunction or further order of or application to this Court (provided that the Agent and the Lenders shall not demand payment of the Obligations from any Debtor other than Debtor ▇▇▇▇▇ Corning, nor shall the Agent and the Lenders take any action referred to in clauses (c) and (e) below against any Debtor other than Debtor ▇▇▇▇▇ Corning, unless demand for payment of the Obligations shall have been made upon Debtor ▇▇▇▇▇ Corning and Debtor ▇▇▇▇▇ Corning shall have failed to satisfy the Obligations in full within five Business Days following such demand): (a) terminate the Commitment and thereafter cease to issue Letters of Credit or make Loans to the Debtors; (b) declare the principal of and accrued interest, fees and other liabilities constituting the Obligations to be due and payable; (c) set-off amounts in any of the Debtors’ accounts maintained with a Lender or otherwise enforce rights against any other Collateral in the possession of the Agent or Lenders; (d) charge a default rate of interest as set forth in the Loan Documents; and/or (e) take any other action or exercise any other right or remedy permitted to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, this Order, or by operation of applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law. The Debtors waive any right to seek relief under the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, under section 105, as a result of changed circumstances or otherwise to the extent any such relief would in any way modify, diminish, restrict or impair the rights or remedies of the Agent or the Lenders set forth in this Order or in the Loan Documents. Agent shall provide notice of any Event of Default to the Future Representative and any counsel to Committees whose retention has been approved by this Court, and any counsel to any other statutory committee appointed in these cases whose retention has been approved by this Court. If any of the Debtors or any other person challenges the occurrence of an Event of Default, any such person’s remedy shall be, and hereby is, limited to requesting a hearing before this Court on five (5) business days’ written notice to Lenders and the Agent on such challenge. In any such hearing, the sole issue before the Court shall be whether an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured within the times permitted by the Loan Documents. To the extent a Debtor (a “Benefiting Debtor”) directly or indirectly utilizes borrowings giving rise to any of the Obligations (including as a result of intercompany balances incurred after the Petition Date to the extent such balances arise from such borrowings) and such Obligations are repaid by any other Debtor (a “Repaying Debtor”), (a) the Benefiting Debtor shall reimburse the Repaying Debtor for the Benefiting Debtor’s share of such repayment, and (b) pending such reimbursement, the Repaying Debtor shall have a superpriority administrative claim (an “Intercompany Superpriority Administrative Claim”) under section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code of the type described in paragraph 4 hereof (subject and subordinate only to indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, the Carve-Out, valid and unavoidable allowed liens or security interests to the extent and in the amounts existing as of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases and liens permitted under Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement) against the Benefiting Debtor in respect of such rights of reimbursement.

9. The Debtors are authorized and directed without further Order of this Court to perform all acts, and execute and comply with the terms of such other documents, instruments and agreements in addition to the Loan Documents, as the Agent or the Lenders may reasonably require, as evidence of and for the protection of the Obligations, or which otherwise may be deemed reasonably necessary by the Agent or the Lenders to effectuate the terms and conditions of this Order and the Loan Documents. The Debtors, the Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized to implement, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, any non-material modifications (including, without limitation, any change in the number or composition of the Lenders) of the Credit Agreement without further order of this Court; provided, however, without in any way limiting any rights of the Agent or Lenders hereunder or under the Loan Documents, the Debtors shall give reasonable prior written notice of such modifications to the Future Representative and counsel for the Committees.

10. In addition to the rights of access and information afforded the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, the Debtors shall be required to afford representatives, agents and/or employees of the Agent and the Lenders reasonable access to the Debtors’ premises and their records in accordance with the Loan Documents and shall cooperate, consult with, and provide to such persons all such information that is not subject to a privilege under Federal Rule of Evidence 501 as they may reasonably request, except to the extent disclosing such information would violate a contract binding on the Debtors. The Agent and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to the Agent and such Lender in the manner and to the extent required by Section 13.17 of the Credit Agreement.

11. The Debtors shall be liable for all Obligations.

12. Having been found to be extending credit, issuing Letters of Credit and making Loans to the Debtors in good faith, based on the record before this Court, the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to the full protection of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Obligations and the claims created, adjudicated or authorized by this Order (including, without limitation, the Superpriority Administrative Claims) in the event that this Order or any finding, adjudication, or authorization contained herein is stayed, vacated, reversed or modified on appeal. Any stay, modification, reversal or vacation of this Order shall not affect the validity of any Obligations of the Debtors to the Agent or the Lenders incurred pursuant to this Order. Notwithstanding any such stay, modification, reversal or vacation, all Loans made and all Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Order and the Credit Agreement and all Obligations incurred by the Debtors pursuant hereto prior to the effective date of any such stay, modification, reversal or vacation shall be governed in all respects by the original provisions hereof, and the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to all the rights, privileges and benefits, including without limitation, the priorities granted herein with respect to all such Obligations.

13. The Debtors shall not seek dismissal of any of the Chapter 11 Cases unless, at the time of such dismissal, the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (including cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit or the deposit of standby Letters of Credit with Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto). Without limiting or modifying the terms of any other provisions of this Order, the provisions of this Order and any actions taken pursuant hereto shall survive entry of any order (a) confirming any plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases (and, to the extent not satisfied in full in cash (including cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit or the deposit of standby Letters of Credit with Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto), the Obligations shall not be discharged by the entry of any such order, or pursuant to section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code or the plan of reorganization, the Debtors having hereby irrevocably waived such discharge, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the appropriate number of Lenders pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement); (b) converting any of the Chapter 11 Cases to a Chapter 7 case; (c) appointing a trustee in any of the Chapter 11 Cases (except for a trustee with the sole power to pursue avoidance actions on behalf of the Debtors under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code); or (d) dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the terms and provisions of this Order as well as the Superpriority Administrative Claims granted pursuant to this Order and the Loan Documents and any Intercompany Superpriority Administrative Claims granted pursuant to this Order shall continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding the entry of such order, and such Superpriority Administrative Claims shall maintain their priority as provided by this Order until all of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (including cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit or the deposit of standby Letters of Credit with Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto).

14. Except as otherwise provided in this Order and Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to Section 552(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, all property acquired by the Debtors after the Petition Date is not and shall not be subject to any lien or security interest resulting from any security agreement entered into by the Debtors prior to the Petition Date, except to the extent that such property constitutes proceeds of encumbered property of the Debtors existing on or before the Petition Date.

15. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid, or any Loan Document remains in effect, (a) the creation, perfection or enforcement of any judgment lien, levy or attachment based on any judgment shall be, and hereby is, stayed and enjoined and (b) this Court shall not grant relief from the automatic stay to permit the creation, perfection or enforcement of any judgment lien, levy or attachment based on any judgment, in each case whether or not such judgment arises from or gives rise to a pre-petition or post-petition claim.

16. To the full extent permitted by law, the provisions of this Order and the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders, the Debtors, and their respective successors and assigns, including any trustee or other fiduciary hereafter appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases or in subsequent Chapter 7 cases as a legal representative of the Debtors or their estates.

17. In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant or condition of this Order and any term, covenant or condition of any Loan Document, the provisions of this Order shall control and govern.

18. The Court has and shall retain jurisdiction to enforce this Order according to its terms.

19. This Order shall become effective and supercede the Original Order upon the effectiveness of the First Amendment pursuant to Section 3 thereof.
