NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and of the mutual
undertakings set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT.
1.01 The Commitments. The commitments provided for hereunder consist
of (a) the commitment of Presstek (the "TRANCHE A COMMITMENT") to advance,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, revolving credit loans at
the request of the Lead Borrower in amounts that, after the making of the Loan,
do not result in the aggregate amount of the principal balance of all Tranche A
Loans then outstanding exceeding $4,000,000.00 (the "TRANCHE A Loans"), (b) the
commitment of Presstek (the "TRANCHE B COMMITMENT") to advance, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, revolving credit loans at the request of
the Lead Borrower in amounts that, after the making of the Loan, result in the
aggregate amount of the principal balance of all Tranche A Loans and Tranche B
Loans then outstanding exceeding $4,000,000.00, but not exceeding $5,500,000.00
(the "TRANCHE B LOANS"), and (c) the commitment of
2
KeyBank (the "TRANCHE C COMMITMENT") to advance, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, revolving credit loans at the request of the Lead
Borrower in amounts that, after the making of the Loan, result in the aggregate
amount of the principal balance of all Tranche A Loans, Tranche B Loans and
Tranche C Loans then outstanding exceeding $5,500,000.00, but not exceeding
$7,000,000.00. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
Presstek agrees to advance Tranche A Loans and, at such times as all Tranche A
Loans have been made, Presstek agrees to advance Tranche B Loans and at such
times as all Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans have been made, KeyBank agrees
to advance Tranche C Loans (each Tranche A Loan, Tranche B Loan and Tranche C
Loan being referred to herein as a "LOAN" and, collectively, as the "LOANS") to
the Borrowers on the request of the Lead Borrower from time to time from the
Closing Date to (but not including) the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed at any time the amount of such Lender's Commitment;
provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding (giving
effect to any requested Borrowings) shall not at any time exceed the least of
(a) the Total Commitments at such time, (b) the amount, if any, by which (i) the
sum of (1) the Borrowing Base at such time and (2) the applicable amount in the
"Cushion/(Over Advance)" line of the then current Budget exceeds (ii) the
principal amount of the Prepetition Obligations and (c) the amount approved to
be advanced to the Borrowers by way of Loans pursuant to the Orders. The
Borrowers may use the Commitments prior to the Maturity Date by borrowing,
prepaying and re-borrowing Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement the Lenders may, in their sole discretion, advance to the
Borrowers Loans in aggregate principal amount exceeding the maximum amount
otherwise applicable under clause (b) of the second preceding sentence of this
Section 1.01, but in no event exceeding the least of the amounts applicable
under clauses (a) and (c) of such sentence at the time any such Loan is to be
made.
1.02 Notice of Borrowing. (a) To request a Loan the Lead Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office, prior to 12:00 noon
(Cleveland, Ohio time), on the Business Day which is the requested date of a
proposed Borrowing, written notice of such Borrowing. Each such notice shall be
in the form of Exhibit A, shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing,
and (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). Except as
hereinafter permitted, each such Notice of Borrowing shall be in writing signed
by the Lead Borrower and transmitted by the Lead Borrower to the Administrative
Agent by telecopier, telex or cable (in the case of telex or cable, confirmed in
writing prior to the date of the requested Borrowing). The Administrative Agent
shall promptly give each Lender obligated to fund the requested Loan written
notice of each proposed Borrowing, of the amount such Lender is obligated to
advance in respect thereof and of the other matters covered by the Notice of
Borrowing. Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Lead Borrower
to make all requests for Borrowing hereunder.
3
(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the
Lead Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing of
Loans, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of
telephonic notice of such Borrowing, believed by the Administrative Agent in
good faith to be from the President or the Chief Financial Officer of the Lead
Borrower (or any other officer of the Lead Borrower designated in writing to the
Administrative Agent by the President or the Chief Financial Officer as being
authorized to give such notices under this Agreement) prior to receipt of
written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrowers hereby waive the right to
dispute the Administrative Agent's record of the terms of such telephonic notice
of such Borrowing of Loans. The Lead Borrower may request a Borrowing
telephonically so long as (i) a written Notice of Borrowing confirmation is
received by the Administrative Agent by 12:30 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) and
(ii) the other requirements of this Section 1.03 are complied with.
1.03 Disbursement of Funds. (a) Promptly after receipt of a Notice
of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall elect, in its sole discretion,
either (i) to require same day funding pursuant to Section 1.03(b) for Loans in
connection with such requested Borrowing or (ii) to request KeyBank to make a
Settlement Advance pursuant to Section 1.03(c) in the amount of the requested
Borrowing; provided, however, that if KeyBank declines, in its sole discretion,
to make such Settlement Advance, the Administrative Agent shall elect to have
the terms of Section 1.03(b) apply to such requested Borrowing.
(b) In the event the Administrative Agent has elected to
have same day funding of a Borrowing pursuant to this Section 1.03(b), the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of each Notice of Borrowing no
later than 12:30 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the date received by telecopy,
telephone or similar form of transmission. Unless the Administrative Agent
elects to have periodic funding of Loans by the Lenders in accordance with
Section 1.03(c), each Lender shall, before 3:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on
the date of each Borrowing requested, make available to the Administrative
Agent, in immediately available funds at the account of the Administrative Agent
maintained at its Payment Office as shall have been notified by the Agent to the
Lenders prior to such date, such Lender's amount of funds, if any, required by
its Commitment in respect of the Borrowing requested to be made on such date. On
the date requested by the Lead Borrower for a Borrowing, after the
Administrative Agent's receipt of the funds representing a Lender's portion, as
required by its Commitment, of such Borrowing and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make such
Loan of such Lender available to the Lead Borrower, in immediately available
funds, by wire transfer or intrabank transfer in accordance with the
instructions of the Lead Borrower consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior
to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made its portion of such Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent on
4
the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 1.03(b). In reliance
upon such assumption, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated
to, make available to the Lead Borrower, on such date, a corresponding portion
of such Borrowing. Any disbursement by the Administrative Agent in reliance on
such assumption shall be deemed a Tranche A Loan, a Tranche B Loan or a Tranche
C Loan, as applicable, by such Lender.
(c) In the event the Administrative Agent elects, in its
sole discretion, with the consent of KeyBank, to have periodic
funding of Borrowings of Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans pursuant to this
Section 1.03(c), KeyBank shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, on
the date requested by the Lead Borrower for a Borrowing, make a Tranche A Loan
or a Tranche B Loan, as applicable, to the Lead Borrower from its own funds and
on a nonratable basis pending settlement pursuant to Section 1.03(d) below in
the amount of such requested Borrowing (any Loan made solely by KeyBank pursuant
to this Section 1.03(c) being hereinafter referred to as a "SETTLEMENT ADVANCE"
and, collectively with all such Settlement Advances, as "SETTLEMENT ADVANCES");
provided, that the outstanding amount of Settlement Advances advanced by KeyBank
shall not at any time exceed an amount equal to the Total Commitment of the
Lenders in effect at such time, minus the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of all Loans at such time. If KeyBank has agreed to make requested
Settlement Advances, KeyBank shall, before 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on
the date requested by the Lead Borrower for such Borrowing, make such Settlement
Advance available to the Lead Borrower, in immediately available funds, by wire
transfer or intrabank transfer in accordance with the instructions of the Lead
Borrower consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Each Settlement Advance
shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be a Loan hereunder and shall be
subject to all of the terms and conditions applicable to other Loans except that
all payments thereon shall be payable to KeyBank solely for its own account (and
for the account of the holder of any participation interest with respect to such
Loan purchased pursuant to Section 13.04 of this Agreement). The Administrative
Agent shall not request KeyBank to make any Settlement Advances if the
Administrative Agent has received written notification from any Lender that one
or more conditions set forth in Section 6 will not be satisfied on the date
requested by the Lead Borrower for such Borrowing. Prior to making, in its sole
discretion, any Settlement Advance, KeyBank shall not be otherwise required to
determine whether the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 of this
Agreement have been satisfied or whether the requested Borrowing would exceed
the Total Commitment of the Lenders then in effect.
(d) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby
agree that, except in the case of Settlement Advances pending settlement as
provided in this Section 1.03(d), each Lender's funded portion of such
Settlement Advances is intended to be equal to such Lender's portion of Tranche
A Loans or Tranche B Loans, as applicable, required by its Commitments. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the
benefit of or enforceable by any of the Borrowers) that, in
5
order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, the Administrative Agent may elect, with the consent of KeyBank, to
settle accounts (each settlement of accounts hereunder a "SETTLEMENT") as to the
Settlement Advances among the Lenders on a periodic basis in accordance with
this Section 1.03(d). The Administrative Agent shall request such Settlement of
accounts of the Lenders as to Settlement Advances on a basis not less frequently
than once during each five (5) Business Day period, or on a more frequent basis
if so determined by the Administrative Agent, by notifying the other Lenders by
telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested
Settlement, no later than 12:30 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the date of such
requested Settlement (the "SETTLEMENT DATE"). The Settlement Date for
outstanding Settlement Advances shall be such day of each calendar week as the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders from time to time. Each Lender
(other than KeyBank) shall make the amount of such Lender's portion of the
outstanding principal amount of the Settlement Advances with respect to which
Settlement is requested available to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of KeyBank, in immediately available funds at the account of the Agent
maintained at the Payment Office not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio
time), on the Settlement Date applicable thereto. Such Settlement shall occur
regardless of whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6
have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to the Administrative
Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Settlement Advance
and shall constitute Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and
regardless of whether the Administrative Agent has requested a Settlement with
respect to a Settlement Advance, in the event that any Loan pursuant to this
Section 1.03(d) cannot be made by the Lenders because one or more of the Lenders
shall determine that such Lenders are legally prohibited from making such a
Loan, each such Lender shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and
receive from KeyBank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation in such Settlement Advance to the extent of such Lender's portion
thereof as required by its Commitment by paying to the Administrative Agent, in
immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender's portion, as
required by its Commitment, of such Settlement Advance on the date the Loan
would have been made pursuant to this Section 1.03(d). If such amount is not in
fact made available to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from
such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate
for the first three (3) days from and after such demand and thereafter at the
interest rate then applicable to the Loans. From and after the date, if any, on
which a Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any
Settlement Advance pursuant to this Section 1.03(d) and subject to Sections
13.04 and 13.06 of this Agreement, such Lender shall be entitled to its portion
of all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers in respect of, and all
Collections and Remittances received by the Administrative Agent and credited
to, such Settlement Advance. Pursuant to the Administrative Agent's election for
periodic funding, the Administrative Agent and KeyBank may be advancing and may
be receiving repayments in respect of Loans prior to the time the Lenders
actually advance or are actually repaid
6
Loans. Each of: (i) KeyBank with respect to Settlement Advances, and (ii) each
Lender with respect to the Loans other than Settlement Advances, shall be
entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this
Agreement accruing on the amount of funds employed by reason of actual Loans by
KeyBank or such Lender. Funds shall be deemed employed by KeyBank or the
Lenders, as the case may be, until such time as: (I) in the case of KeyBank,
payments are credited to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.08 or Collections
or Remittances are received by the Administrative Agent by reason of deposit to
the Borrower Cash Collateral Account and credited to the Borrowers pursuant to
Sections 5.04-.07 or (II) in the case of a Lender, funds representing such
Lender's portion of such payment or Collections and Remittances are received by
such Lender from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.06 of this
Agreement.
(e) If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have
made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion as required by
its Commitment of any Borrowing advanced by the Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Lenders on the Closing Date or thereafter (whether advanced by KeyBank on
behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Section 1.04(d) or otherwise pursuant to this
Agreement), such Lender agrees to pay, and the Borrowers agree to repay to the
Administrative Agent, severally and not jointly and severally, immediately upon
demand by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to such Lender's portion of
such Borrowing, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such
amount is made available to the Lead Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Administrative Agent, at: (i) in the case of the Lender, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three (3) days from and after the
date of the Borrowing and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to
such Borrowings and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate
applicable at the time to such Borrowings. If such Lender pays to the
Administrative Agent the Lender's portion required by its Commitment of such
Borrowing prior to repayment of such amount by the Borrowers, the amount so
repaid shall constitute such Lender's portion of such Borrowing, and the
Borrowers shall have no further obligation to make the payment required by this
Section 1.04(e).
(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender
from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment(s) hereunder or to prejudice any
rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any
default by such Lender hereunder.
1.04 Notes. (a) At the request of any Lender, the Borrowers'
obligation to pay the principal of and interest on all the Loans made to it by
each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note (each a "NOTE" and,
collectively the "NOTES") duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, with blanks appropriately
completed in conformity herewith.
(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the
amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will,
prior to any transfer of its
7
Notes, endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of
Loans evidenced thereby. Such notation shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, although the failure to make any such notation shall not affect the
Borrowers' obligations in respect of such Loans.
1.05 Allocations of Borrowings. All Borrowings of Tranche A Loans
under this Agreement shall be incurred solely from Presstek on the basis of
Presstek's Tranche A Commitment, all Borrowings of Tranche B Loans under this
Agreement shall be incurred solely from Presstek on the basis of Presstek's
Tranche B Commitment and all Borrowings of Tranche C Loans under this Agreement
shall be incurred solely from KeyBank on the basis of KeyBank's Tranche C
Commitment. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender
in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to
make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of
any other Lender to fulfill its Commitments hereunder.
1.06 Interest. (a) Except as provided in this Section 1.07(b), the
unpaid principal amount of each Loan shall bear interest from the date of the
Borrowing thereof to the date such Loan is repaid, at a rate per annum which
shall at all times equal the lesser of (i) 100 basis points less than the Prime
Rate in effect from time to time and (ii) three percent (3.00%).
(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, the
principal of the Loans (and overdue interest and all other overdue amounts
payable hereunder to the extent permitted by applicable law) shall upon notice
by the Administrative Agent, until such Event of Default has been cured or
remedied or waived pursuant to Section 13.12, bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to two percent (2%) above the rate of interest otherwise applicable to
such Loans pursuant to Section 1.07(a).
(c) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of
any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be
payable in arrears on each Monthly Payment Date and the Maturity Date, and after
the Maturity Date, on demand.
(d) As adequate protection for the use of the
Prepetition Collateral, Postpetition Interest shall (i) be paid to KCCI solely
for its own account as a Prepetition Lender on each Monthly Payment Date, and
after the Maturity Date on demand and (ii) be paid to the Prepetition Lenders in
accordance with the terms of the Prepetition Credit Agreement. All computations
of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.07(b).
1.07 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. If the Administrative Agent
or any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date, the adoption or
effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental
8
Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by relevant authority with
the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or any corporation controlling such Lender)
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has
or would have the effect of reducing, by an amount reasonably deemed by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender to be material, the rate of return on the
Administrative Agent's or such Lender's (or such controlling corporation's)
capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder
to a level below that which the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or such
controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such adoption,
effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's (or
such controlling corporation's) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then
from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after written demand by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and
accompanied by the notice described in the last sentence of this Section 1.08),
the Borrowers shall, subject to the provisions of Section 13.17 (to the extent
applicable), pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or
such controlling corporation) for such reduction. The Administrative Agent and
each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable
pursuant to this Section 1.08, will give prompt written notice thereof to the
Lead Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of
the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis shall be reasonable,
although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any
of the Borrowers' obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section
1.08 upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.
1.08 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.08 or Section
4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Lead Borrower,
use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender)
to designate another lending office for any Loans or its Commitment, as the case
may be, if affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on
such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or
regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the
event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section
1.09 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the
right of any Lender provided in Section 1.08 or Section 4.04.
SECTION 2. [Reserved---Letters of Credit.]
SECTION 3. Fees, Commitments.
3.01 Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent a commitment commission ("COMMITMENT COMMISSION") for the account of each
Lender for the period from and including the Closing Date to, but not including,

equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily average of such Lender's Unutilized
Commitment. Such Commitment Commission shall be due and payable in arrears on
each Monthly Payment Date of each year and on the date upon which the Total
Commitments are terminated.
(b) The Borrowers agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent at closing a facility fee in the amount of $50,000.00, which shall be
deemed to be fully earned at closing, of which 80% shall be allocated to
Presstek and 20% shall be allocated to KeyBank.
(c) All computations of Fees shall be made in accordance
with Section 13.07(b).
3.02 Voluntary Reduction of Commitments. Upon at least three (3)
Business Days' prior written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing)
to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the
Borrowers shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to terminate or
partially reduce the Total Commitment, provided, that (a) any such partial
reduction shall first permanently reduce the Tranche C Commitment until such
Commitment is reduced to zero and only thereafter may the Tranche B Commitment
be reduced, (b) only after the Tranche B Commitment is reduced to zero may the
Tranche A Commitment be reduced, (c) any termination must terminate all
Commitments and (d) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be
in the amount of at least $500,000.
3.03 Mandatory Reductions of Commitments, etc. (a) The Commitments
shall terminate on the Maturity Date and be automatically reduced permanently to
zero.
(b) In addition, the Total Commitments shall be reduced
as provided in Section 4.02.
SECTION 4. Payments.
4.01 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right to
prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, from time to time
on the following terms and conditions:
(a) the Lead Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent at the Payment Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay the Loans and the amount of such
prepayment, which notice shall be given by the Lead Borrower at least one
Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, and which notice shall
promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders;
10
(b) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of at least $500,000; and
(c) each partial prepayment shall first be applied to
repayment of all Tranche C Loans and only after all Tranche C Loans have been
repaid in full shall any prepayments be applied to Settlement Advances, and only
after all Settlement Advances have been repaid in full shall any prepayments be
applied to Tranche B Loans, and only after all Tranche B Loans have been repaid
in full shall any prepayments be applied to any Tranche A Loans.
The notice provisions, the provisions with respect to the minimum amount of any
prepayment, and the provisions requiring prepayments in integral multiples above
such minimum amount of this Section 4.01 are for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and may be waived unilaterally by the Administrative Agent.
4.02 Mandatory Prepayments and Repayment.
(a) The Loans shall become due and payable in full, and
the Borrowers shall repay the Loans in full, on the Maturity Date, together with
any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any fees and other
obligations due and payable hereunder; provided, however, that Collections and
Remittances deposited into the Borrower Cash Collateral Account will be applied
to the Loans on an ongoing basis in accordance with Section 5.07 of this
Agreement.
(b) If on any date the sum of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Loans then outstanding exceeds an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) the aggregate Commitments at such time, and (ii) the amount approved to
be advanced to the Borrowers by way of Loans pursuant to the Orders, the
Borrowers shall repay on such date Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such
excess.

4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the
Administrative
12
Agent for the account of the Lenders entitled thereto (which funds the
Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to such Lenders), not later than
1:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the date when due and shall be made in
immediately available funds and in lawful money of the United States of America
at the Payment Office, it being understood that written notice by the Lead
Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the
Borrower Cash Collateral Account at the Payment Office shall constitute the
making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. Any
payments under this Agreement which are made later than 1:00 P.M. (Cleveland,
Ohio time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a
day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal,
interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect
immediately prior to such extension.
4.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Borrowers hereunder
or under any Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other
defense. Except as provided in this Section 4.04, all payments hereunder and
under any of the Credit Documents (including, without limitation, payments on
account of principal and interest and fees) shall be made by the Borrowers free
and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any
present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other charge of
whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority, but
excluding therefrom
(i) a tax imposed on or measured by the overall net
income (including a franchise tax based on net income) of the lending office of
the Lender in respect of which the payment is made by the jurisdiction in which
the Lender is incorporated or the jurisdiction (or political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof) in which its lending office is located,
(ii) in the case of any Lender organized under the laws
of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof (including
the District of Columbia), any taxes imposed by the United States by means of
withholding at the source unless such withholding results from a change in
applicable law, treaty or regulations or the interpretation or administration
thereof (including, without limitation, any guideline or policy not having the
force of law) by any authority charged with the administration thereof
subsequent to the date such Lender becomes a Lender with respect to the Loans or
portion thereof affected by such change, and
(iii) any tax imposed on or measured by the overall net
income (including a franchise tax based on net income) of a Lender or an office
or branch thereof by the United States of America or any political subdivision
or taxing authority thereof or therein (such tax or taxes, other than excluded
tax or taxes, being herein referred to as "TAX" or "TAXES"). If the Borrowers
are required by law to make any deduction or withholding of any Taxes from any
payment due hereunder or under any of the Credit
13
Documents, then the amount payable will be increased to such amount which, after
deduction from such increased amount of all such Taxes required to be withheld
or deducted therefrom, will not be less than the amount due and payable
hereunder had no such deduction or withholding been required. A certificate as
to any additional amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 4.04 submitted
to the Lead Borrower by such Lender shall show in reasonable detail the amount
payable and the calculations used to determine in good faith such amount and
shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto.
(b) If the Borrowers make any payment hereunder or under
any of the Credit Documents in respect of which they are required by law to make
any deduction or withholding of any Taxes, the Borrowers shall pay the full
amount to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority
within the time allowed for such payment under applicable law and shall deliver
to the Lenders within thirty (30) days after it has made such payment to the
applicable authority a receipt issued by such authority evidencing the payment
to such authority of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld from
such payment.
(c) Without prejudice to the other provisions of Section
4.04, if any Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, is required by
law to make any payment on account of Taxes on or in relation to any amount
received or receivable hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents by such
Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, or any liability for Tax in
respect of any such payment is imposed, levied or assessed against any Lender or
the Administrative Agent on its behalf, the Borrowers will promptly, following
receipt of the certificate described in the immediately following sentence,
indemnify such person against such Tax payment or liability, together with any
interest, penalties and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses) payable or incurred in connection therewith, including any tax of any
Lender arising by virtue of payments under this Section 4.04(c), computed in a
manner consistent with this Section 4.04(c). A certificate prepared in good
faith as to the amount of such payment by such Lender, or the Administrative
Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto for all purposes.
(d) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as
such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to
the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date,
or in the case of a Lender that is an Assignee of an interest under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04 (unless the respective Lender was already a
Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment), on the date of such
assignment to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies
of IRS Form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8IMY (or successor or other applicable forms
prescribed by the IRS) certifying to such Lender's entitlement to a complete
exemption from or reduced rate of United States withholding tax on interest
payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the
Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code
and
14
cannot deliver the applicable form pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (any such certificate, a
"SECTION 4.04(D)(II) CERTIFICATE") and (y) two accurate and complete original
signed copies of IRS Form W-8 (or successor form) certifying to such Lender's
entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax on
payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note;
provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to deliver an IRS Form
▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇, W-8IMY, or Section 4.04(d)(ii) Certificate under this Section
4.04(d) to the extent that the delivery of such form is not authorized by law;
provided, further, however, that in the event that a Lender provides the
Borrowers or the Administrative Agent with an IRS Form W-8IMY (or substitute
form) indicating that it is a "flow through" entity, as defined in Treasury
Regulations promulgated under Section 1441 of the Code, or otherwise, not a
beneficial owner of interest payments under this Agreement and under any Note,
such Lender agrees, on or prior to the Closing Date, or the date of assignment
to such Lender, as applicable, to take any actions necessary, and to deliver to
the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent all forms necessary, to establish
such Lender's entitlement to a complete exemption from, or a reduction in,
United States withholding tax on payments of interest to be made under this
Agreement and under any Note, including causing its partners, members,
beneficiaries, beneficial owners, and their beneficial owners, if any, to take
any actions and deliver any forms necessary to establish such exemption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a fiscally transparent entity may provide an
IRS Form W-8BEN to claim a treaty exemption or rate reduction to the extent that
such entity is receiving interest and is not treated as fiscally transparent by
its own jurisdiction, provided, that the satisfaction of such conditions
entitles the Lender to an exemption or reduction from withholding at the time
such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement and (ii) a withholding foreign
partnership, withholding foreign trust, and qualified intermediary shall only
provide such information as is required by Treasury Regulations promulgated
under Code Section 1441. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Forms" shall
include any attachments to IRS Forms W-8 IMY required to be filed by the Lender.
In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date,
when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous
certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender will
deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and
complete original signed copies of an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY and a
Section 4.04(d)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may
be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender (or
its partners, members, beneficiaries, or beneficial owners) to a continued
exemption from or reduction in United States withholding Tax on interest
payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form
or certificate; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to deliver
an IRS Form ▇▇-▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇, or W-8IMY under this Section 4.04(d) to the extent
that the delivery of such form is not authorized by law; provided, further,
however, that any Lender which does not deliver the applicable form pursuant to
this Section 4.04(d) shall be entitled to additional payment pursuant to Section
4.04(a) or indemnification under Section 4.04(c) only if and to the extent (i)
such failure results
15
from a change in law or (ii) the Tax to which such additional payment or
indemnification relates would have been imposed regardless of whether such
Lender provided such forms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Section 4.04, any Lender that has not provided to the Borrower the IRS Forms
required to be provided to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 4.04(d) shall
not be entitled to any payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.04(a)
or indemnification under Section 4.04(c) with respect to any deduction or
withholding which would not have been required if such Lender had provided such
forms.
(e) Each Lender that is incorporated or organized under
the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall provide two
properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any successor or
other applicable form. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent (provided that such Lender remains lawfully able to do so),
two further duly executed forms and statements, properly completed in all
material respects, at or before the time any such form or statement expires or
becomes obsolete, or otherwise as reasonably requested by the Borrower. Each
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers at any time it determines that it is
no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the
Borrower (or any other form or certification adopted by U.S. taxing authorities
for such purpose).
(f) Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable
after it becomes aware of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any
condition that would cause the Borrowers to make a payment in respect of any
Taxes to such Lender pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or a payment in indemnification
for any Taxes pursuant to Section 4.04(c), it will use reasonable efforts to
make, fund or maintain the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender with respect
to which the aforementioned payment is or would be made through another lending
office of such Lender or take any other action reasonably requested by the Lead
Borrower if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be
required to be paid by the Borrowers in respect of such Loans (or portions
thereof) pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(c) would be materially
reduced, and if, as determined by such Lender, in its reasonable discretion, the
making, funding or maintaining of such Loans (or portions thereof) through such
other lending office or taking of such other action would not otherwise
materially adversely affect such Loans or such Lender. The Borrowers agrees to
pay all reasonable expenses incurred by any Lender in utilizing another lending
office of such Lender or taking of such other action pursuant to this Section
4.04(f).

and
(ii) entitled to Superpriority Claim status pursuant to
Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy code senior to any Superpriority Claim

(c) the Tranche A Liens and the Tranche B and Tranche C

5.02 Collateral Security Perfection. The Borrowers agree to take all
actions that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may reasonably request as a
matter of nonbankruptcy law to perfect and protect the Administrative Agent's
and the Lenders' Liens upon the Collateral and for such Liens to obtain the
priority therefor contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, executing
and delivering such documents and instruments, financing statements, providing
such notices and assents of third parties, obtaining such governmental approvals
and providing such other instruments and documents in recordable form as the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may request. Each of the Borrowers hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to
time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction
any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the
Collateral (i) as "all assets of the Borrower" or words of similar effect,
regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls
within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being
of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any other

number issued to such Borrower and, (ii) in the case of a financing statement
filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of real property to which

information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon the Administrative Agent's
request.
5.03 No Discharge; Survival of Claims. The Borrowers agree that (a)
the Obligations shall not be discharged by the entry of an order confirming a
Reorganization Plan (and the Borrowers pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the
Bankruptcy Code, hereby waive any such discharge), (b) the Superpriority Claim
granted to the Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the Orders and the
Liens granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Orders and the other Security Documents,
shall not be affected in any manner by the entry of an order confirming a
Reorganization Plan and (c) the Borrowers shall not propose or support any
Reorganization Plan that is not conditioned upon the Payment In Full on or prior

Obligations in cash when due and payable.
5.04 Receipt of Collections and Remittances. All Collections or
Remittances received directly by any Borrower shall be deemed held by such
Borrower
18
in trust and as fiduciary for the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders. Each Borrower immediately shall deposit any such Collection or
Remittance, in its original form, into the Borrower Cash Collateral Account.
Pending such deposit, each Borrower agrees that it will not commingle any such
Collection or Remittance with any of such Borrower's other funds or property,
but will hold it separate and apart therefrom in trust and as fiduciary for the
Administrative Agent until deposit is made into the Borrower Cash Collateral
Account.
5.05 Cash Collateral Accounts. Paragon has established the Borrower
Cash Collateral Account with KeyBank National Association. All Collections and
Remittances of any kind deposited in the Borrower Cash Collateral Account are
the sole and exclusive property of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders. Each Borrower shall cause all Collections and Remittances not
deposited into the Borrower Cash Collateral Account to be swept to the Borrower
Cash Collateral Account on a daily basis. All funds at any time in the Borrower
Cash Collateral Account shall be deemed to be the property of the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and shall be subject only to the signing
authority designated from time to time by the Administrative Agent. No Borrower
shall have any interest therein or control over such funds. Nevertheless, to the
extent funds in the Borrower Cash Collateral Account are deemed to be the
property of any Borrower, each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative
Agent a security interest in all funds held in the Borrower Cash Collateral
Account, as security for the Obligations. The Borrower Cash Collateral Account
shall not be subject to any deduction, set-off, banker's lien or any other right
in favor of any person or entity other than the Administrative Agent.
5.07 Application of Collections and Remittances. Deposits to the
Borrower Cash Collateral Account in respect of any Borrower shall be credited to
the Borrowers as follows: (i) first, to the payment of Adequate Protection
Payments, to the extent not previously paid; (ii) second, to the payment of

calculating in respect of the Borrowers interest and determining the aggregate
Loans outstanding and resulting availability hereunder, all Collections and
Remittances shall be credited to the Borrowers: (a) in the case of Collections
and Remittances received by wire transfer prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland, Ohio
time), on the same Business Day as received, (b) in the case of Collections and
Remittances received by wire transfer after 12:00 noon (Cleveland, Ohio time),

the proceeds of such Collections and Remittances into the Borrower Cash
Collateral Account, and is in good funds with respect thereto prior to 12:00
noon (Cleveland, Ohio time). From time to time, upon advance written notice to
the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent may adopt such additional or
modified regulations and procedures as it may deem reasonable and appropriate
with respect to the operation of the Borrower Cash Collateral Account and the
services to be provided by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing
(including telegraphic, telex, telecopier or cable communication) and mailed,
telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered, if to a Credit Party, at
the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant
Credit Documents, as the case may be; if to the Administrative Agent, at its
Notice Office; if to any Lender, at its address specified for such Lender
opposite its signature below; or, at such other address as shall be designated
by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices
and communications shall be mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled
or sent by overnight courier, and shall be effective when received.
(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the
Borrowers to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given
hereunder, the Administrative Agent may prior to receipt of written confirmation
act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the
Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of a
Borrower. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the
Administrative Agent's record of the terms of such telephonic notice.
13.04 Assignments; Participations, Etc. (a) This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective
successors and assigns of the parties hereto, provided that the Borrowers may
not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Lenders.
(b) Each Lender may at any time sell to one or more
banks or other financial institutions ("PARTICIPANTS") participating interests
in all or any portion of its Commitment(s) and Loans or any other interest of
such Lender hereunder (in respect of any Lender, its "CREDIT EXPOSURE"). In the
event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant,
such Lender's obligations under this Agreement
70
shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
performance thereof, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. At the time of each sale
of a participating interest, pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the Lender shall
provide to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent revised IRS Forms, and if
applicable, a Section 4.04(d)(ii) Certificate described in Section 4.04(d),
reflecting that portion of its Commitment(s) and Loan retained by it on an
amended IRS Form W-8BEN and that portion of its Commitment(s) and Loan which had
been sold to a Participant on a IRS Form W-8IMY (together with any required
attachments). The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this
Agreement or any of the Credit Documents are due or unpaid, or shall have been
declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect
of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and the
Credit Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any other
Credit Document, provided, however, that such right of setoff shall be subject
to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders
agree to share with such Participant, as provided in Section 13.02. The Borrower
also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
1.08 and 4.04 with respect to its participation in the Loans outstanding from
time to time, provided, that such Participant's benefits under Sections 1.08 and
4.04 shall be limited to the benefits that the primary Lender would be entitled
to thereunder. Each Lender agrees that any agreement between such Lender and any
such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict
such Lender's right to approve or agree to any amendment, restatement,
supplement or other modification to, waiver of, or consent under, this Agreement
or any of the Credit Documents except to the extent that any of the foregoing
would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such
Participant is participating beyond the Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest or fees on any such Loan or Note (except
in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount
of the Participant's participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it
being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent,
covenants, Events of Default or Default or of a mandatory reduction in
Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation,
and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the
consent of any Participant if the Participant's participation is not increased
as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the
Borrowers of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii)
release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security
Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the
Loans hereunder in which such Participant is participating.
(c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees, including an Affiliate thereof (each an "ASSIGNEE"), all or
any part of its Credit Exposure pursuant to an Assignment Agreement in the form
of Exhibit I
71
("ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT"), provided that (i) it assigns its Credit Exposure in an
amount not less than $1,000,000 in the case of Loans (or if less the entire
amount of Lender's Credit Exposure) and (ii) any assignment of all or any
portion of any Lender's Credit Exposure to an Assignee, shall require the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event
of Default exists, the Borrowers (the consent of the Borrowers not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided, however, that for the first fifteen
Business Days following the Closing Date, assignments by the Administrative
Agent shall not require the consent of the Borrowers, and provided further, that
notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, any Lender (without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent or of the Borrowers) may at any time assign
all or any part of its Credit Exposure to any Affiliate of such Lender or to any
other Lender (or in the case of a Lender which is a fund, any Related Fund).
Upon execution of an Assignment Agreement and the payment of a nonrefundable
assignment fee of $3,500 (provided that no such fee shall be payable upon
assignments by any Lender which is a fund to any Related Fund, and no such fee
shall be payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with assignments
hereunder; and provided further that in the case of a simultaneous assignment by
a Lender to one or more Related Funds of another Lender, only a single $3,500
fee shall be payable for all such assignments by such Lender to such Related
Funds) in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at its Payment
Office in connection with each such assignment, written notice thereof by such
transferor Lender to the Administrative Agent and the recording by the
Administrative Agent of such assignment and the resulting effect upon the Loans
and Commitment(s) of the assigning Lender and the Assignee, the Assignee shall
have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights and benefits as it would
have if it were a Lender hereunder and the holder of the Obligations (provided
that the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to
deal solely and directly with the assignor Lender in connection with the
interests so assigned to the Assignee until written notice of such assignment,
together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with
respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent by the assignor Lender and the Assignee) and, if the
Assignee has expressly assumed, for the benefit of the Borrower, some or all of
the transferor Lender's obligations hereunder, such transferor Lender shall be
relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and
assumption, and except as described above, no further consent or action by the
Borrowers, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required. At the
time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(c) to a Person which is
not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States Federal
income tax purposes, the respective Assignee shall provide to the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent the appropriate IRS Forms (and, if applicable a Section
4.04(d)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 4.04(d). Each Assignee shall take
such Credit Exposure subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to any
request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder, prior to
the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers of written notice of
such transfer, by each previous holder of such Credit Exposure. Such Assignment
Agreement shall be deemed
72
to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to
reflect the addition of such Assignee as a Lender and the resulting adjustment
of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender
under this Agreement, the Commitment, or Commitment Percentage, the case may be
(in each case, rounded to twelve decimal places), the Loans and any new Notes to
be issued, at the Borrowers' expense, to such Assignee, and no further consent
or action by the Borrowers or the Lenders shall be required to effect such
amendments.
(d) The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to
any Participant or Assignee (each, a "TRANSFEREE") and any prospective
Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession
concerning the Borrowers and any Subsidiary of any Borrower which has been
delivered to such Lender by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has
been delivered to such Lender by any Borrower in connection with such Lender's
credit evaluation of the Borrowers prior to entering into this Agreement;
provided that such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to treat any such
information which is not public as confidential.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in
this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion
of its rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including,
without limitation, the Notes held by it) to any Federal Reserve Bank in
accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to, or
the consent of, the Borrowers; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a
security interest under this Section 13.04(e) shall release a Lender from any
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto. Any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of
its Notes or Loans to its trustee or other creditor in support of its
obligations to its trustee or other creditor. No such pledge or assignment shall
release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.
13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the
part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing
between any Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the
Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand
on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or
further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
73
13.06 Payments. (a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly
after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in
respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party hereunder, it shall distribute
such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has expressly waived its
right to receive its pro rata share thereof) pro rata based upon their
respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment
was received.
(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should
receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon
security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien, by
counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit
Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of,
or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related
sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total
of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such
Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such
receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash
without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the
Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as
shall result in the appropriate participation by all of the Lenders in such
amount, provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter
recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
13.07 Calculations, Computations. (a) The financial statements to be
furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved
(except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing
by the Borrowers to the Lenders), provided that (x) except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all computations determining compliance with
Section 9, including definitions used therein shall utilize accounting
principles and policies in effect at the time of the preparation of, and in
conformity with those used to prepare, the historical financial statements of
the Borrowers and (y) that if at any time the computations determining
compliance with Section 9, including definitions used therein, utilize
accounting principles different from those utilized in the financial statements
furnished to the Lenders, such financial statements shall be accompanied by
reconciliation work-sheets.
(b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission
and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees
are payable.
13.08 Governing Law: Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of
Jury Trial. (a) This Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be construed in
accordance with and be governed by the internal laws of the State of Ohio. Any
legal action or proceeding
74
with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be brought in
the Bankruptcy Court or the courts of the State of Ohio or of the United States
for the Northern District of Ohio, and, by execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each Credit Party hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in
respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the
aforesaid courts. Each Credit Party to this Agreement hereby further irrevocably
waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such Credit Party,
and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect
to this Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in any of the aforesaid
courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such Credit Party. If for
any reason such designee, appointee and agent shall cease to be available to act
as such, each credit party agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and
agent in Cleveland, Ohio on the terms and for the purposes of this provision
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. The Borrowers
further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the
aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies
thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service
within or without the State of Ohio to the Borrowers at their respective
addresses set forth opposite its signature below. Nothing herein shall affect
the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise
proceed against any Credit Party in any other jurisdiction.
(b) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of
the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in
clause (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead
or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(c) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby
irrevocably waives all right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Credit
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
13.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts
executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Lead Borrower and
the Administrative Agent.
13.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the
date (the "CLOSING DATE") on which (i) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and each of the Lenders shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same
or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office of the Administrative Agent or, in the
case of the Lenders, shall have given to the
75
Administrative Agent telephonic (confirmed in writing), written telex or
facsimile transmission notice (actually received) at such office that the same
has been signed and mailed to it and (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 6
are met to the satisfaction of, or waived in writing by, the Administrative
Agent and the Required Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent has received
actual notice from any Lender that the conditions contained in Section 6 have
not been met to its satisfaction or waived by it in writing, upon the
satisfaction of the condition described in clause (i) of the immediately
preceding sentence and upon the Administrative Agent's good faith determination
that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding
sentence have been met or waived in writing, then the Closing Date shall be
deemed to have occurred on the date determined by clause (i), regardless of any
subsequent determination that one or more of the conditions thereto had not been
met (although the occurrence of the Closing Date shall not release the Borrowers
from any liability for failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable
conditions contained in Section 6).
13.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and
subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in
any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.
13.12 Amendment or Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any other
Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is
in writing signed by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders, provided that no
such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each
Lender (with Obligations being directly affected thereby in the case of the
following clause (i)), (i) extend the Maturity Date or Note beyond the Maturity
Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than
as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates) or Fees thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof (it
being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions
in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for
purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral (in each case except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents),
(iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.12, (iv) change
the definition of Required Lenders or (v) consent to the assignment or transfer
by any of the Borrowers of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement; provided further that no such change, waiver, discharge or
termination shall (A) increase the Commitment(s) of any Lender over the amount
thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood
that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or
Events of Default shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any
Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any
Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender), (B)
without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 12 as same applies to the Administrative Agent or any other
provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative
Agent or (C) without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend,
76
modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the
Collateral Agent.
13.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without
limitation, in Sections 1.08, 4.04, 12.06 or 13.01 shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 13.17 (to the extent applicable), survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Loans.
13.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its
Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of
such Lender, provided that the Borrowers shall not be responsible for costs
arising under Sections 1.08 or 4.04 resulting from any such transfer to the
extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer.
13.15 Confidentiality. Except as required by the Bankruptcy Court
and subject to Section 13.04, the Lenders shall hold all non-public information
obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been
identified as such by the Borrowers in accordance with its customary procedure
for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe
and sound banking practices and in any event may make disclosure reasonably
required by any bona fide actual or potential transferee or participant in
connection with the contemplated transfer of any Loans or participation therein
or an Affiliate of such Lender (including attorneys, legal advisors and
consultants of such Lender) (so long as each of such actual or potential
transferee, participant or Affiliate agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Section 13.15) or as required or requested by any governmental agency or
representative thereof or pursuant to legal process, provided that, unless
specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall
notify the Borrowers of any request by any governmental agency or representative
thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the
financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure
of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information, and
provided further that in no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to
return any materials furnished by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries.
13.16 Register. The Borrowers hereby designates the Administrative
Agent to serve as the Borrowers' agent, solely for purposes of this Section
13.15, to maintain a register (the "REGISTER") on which it will record the
Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of
the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans
of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such
recordation shall not affect the Borrowers' obligations in respect of such
Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender
and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to
such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the
Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of
such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts
77
owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain
owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or
part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent
on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a
properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section
13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment Agreement to the
Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer
of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or
transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon
one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to
the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. The Borrowers agrees
to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on,
asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its
duties under this Section 13.16.
13.17 Limitation on Additional Amounts, Etc. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Sections 1.08 or 4.04 of this Agreement,
unless a Lender gives notice to the Borrowers that it is obligated to pay an
amount under any such Section within 150 days after the later of (x) the date
the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or
liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on
capital or (y) the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of
the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reductions in
amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such
Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrowers
pursuant to said Section 1.08 or 4.04, as the case may be, to the extent (1) the
costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or
receivable or reduction in return on capital are incurred or suffered on or
after the date which occurs 150 days prior to such Lender giving notice to the
Borrowers that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said
Section 1.08 or 4.04, as the case may be, and (II) the notice of such payment is
accompanied by a written statement by the Lenders that such amount is an amount
charged by such Lenders to similarly situated borrowers. This Section 13.17
shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said
Sections 1.08 and 4.04.
