All insurance policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts, with deductibles, and in form satisfactory to the Required Holders, and shall require not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Collateral Agent of any cancellation or change of coverage. All
-20-
insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, by any Obligor with respect to the Tangible Property, except for public liability insurance, shall provide that each such policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by the Obligors or the Holders and that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability or other insurance required pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Purchase Document becomes insolvent or the subject of any Bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding or if in the Purchasers opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate, the Obligors shall, in each instance promptly upon the request of the Required Holders and at the expense of the Obligors, obtain and deliver to the Purchaser a like policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by the Required Holders, a certificate of insurance) issued by another insurer, which insurer and policy meet the requirements of this Agreement or such other Note Purchase Documents, as the case may be. Without limiting the discretion of the Required Holders with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or damage to the Mortgaged Property and the Tangible Property shall contain a standard mortgage clause (without contribution) naming the Collateral Agent as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties notwithstanding (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in any such policy by any named insured; (ii) the occupation or use of the Mortgaged Property or the Tangible Property, as applicable, for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action by the Holders under the Note Purchase Documents; or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of the Mortgaged Property or the Tangible Property, as applicable, or any portion thereof, and shall further contain the agreement of the insurer waiving all rights of set off, counterclaim or deductions against the Obligors. The originals of each initial insurance policy (or to the extent permitted by the Purchaser, a copy of the original policy and a satisfactory certificate of insurance) shall be delivered to the Purchaser at the time of execution of this Agreement, with premiums fully paid, and each renewal or substitute policy (or certificate) shall be delivered to the Holders, with premiums fully paid, at least ten (10) days before the termination of the policy it renews or replaces. The Obligors shall pay all premiums on policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to the Holders evidence satisfactory to the Required Holders of the timely payment thereof. In the event the Obligors fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to the Holders the insurance required by this Section, the Holders may procure such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering the Holders interest, and the Obligors will pay all premiums thereon promptly upon demand by the Required Holders. Until such payment is made by the Obligors, the amount of all such premiums shall be added to and become part of the Obligations. If any loss occurs at any time when the Obligors has failed to perform the Obligors covenants and agreements in this Section, the Holders shall nevertheless be entitled to the benefit of all insurance covering the loss and held by or for the Obligors, to the same extent as if it had been made payable to the Holders. Upon any foreclosure of any Mortgage or transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the Notes or any other amounts owing by the Obligors to Holders, all of the Obligors right, title and interest in and to the insurance policies referred to in this Section (including unearned premiums) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, thereupon vest in the Collateral Agent at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such
-21-
policies, and the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed by each Obligor as attorney-in-fact for such Obligor to assign any such policy to said Purchaser or other such transferee without accounting to such Obligor for any unearned premiums thereon. The Required Holders shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all insurance for loss of or damage to the Mortgaged Property, and the expenses incurred by the Holders or the Collateral Agent in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be added to and become part of the Obligations and shall be due and payable to the Holders on demand. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Holders shall be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to the Company. Any such proceeds received by the Holders shall be applied and disbursed as provided in this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Obligor irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent and each Holder as its attorney in fact to cause the issuance of or an endorsement of any policy and to otherwise bring such Obligor into compliance with the provisions of this Section and to make any claim for, receive payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other instruments in payment for loss, theft, or damage under any such insurance policy.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph to the contrary and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Holders agree that the proceeds of any casualty insurance or any part thereof (after deducting therefrom all of the Holders expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including reasonable attorneys fees) payable on account of loss or damage to the Improvements will be made available by the Holders to be applied by the Obligors to restoration or repair of the Improvements provided the following conditions are met:
(1) there exists no Default and the Required Holders are satisfied that the occurrence of such event (after making the insurance proceeds available as provided herein) will not give rise to a Default;
(2) the Company presents sufficient evidence satisfactory to the Required Holders that (A) the Improvements are capable of being, and will be, restored in compliance with all applicable Laws to an architectural whole and to substantially the same condition and value as prior to the casualty, (B) restoration of the Improvements to an architectural whole will be completed on or before the Maturity Date, (C) there are sufficient funds from such insurance proceeds and other available monies, to completely restore or repair the Improvements to an architectural whole, and (D) the Holders will not incur any liability to any other Person as a result of such use or release of insurance proceeds;
(3) all parties having existing or expected possessory interests in the Improvements agree to continue, in a manner satisfactory to the Required Holders, to fulfill the contract terms then in effect following the restoration or repair (including, without limitation, the payment of rent or other sums without abatement or reduction except as approved by the Required Holders in their discretion), or the Obligors shall deliver security satisfactory to the Required Holders in their discretion, to substitute for the loss of income caused by the failure of any such possessory interest to agree to continue to fulfill the contract terms then in effect following restoration or repair; and
-22-
(4) the Company shall enter into such agreements and deliver such other documents and other things as may reasonably be required by the Required Holders in connection with the disbursement of all such proceeds.
If the foregoing conditions are satisfied within ninety (90) days of the date of loss, then the insurance proceeds shall be held by the Holders and, after deducting from said insurance proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including attorneys fees, the Holders shall disburse the net insurance proceeds to or on behalf of the Company (pursuant to a procedure satisfactory to the Required Holders) as repair or restoration progresses and to the extent such proceeds are required to defray the expenses of such restoration or repair; and to the extent any such proceeds are not required to defray the expenses of such restoration or repair, the Holders shall apply any such unused proceeds as provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph (b) of this Section. At all times during such restoration or repair, the Company shall deposit with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties funds which, when added to insurance proceeds on deposit with the Purchaser, are sufficient to complete the restoration or repair of the Improvements to an architectural whole, as determined by the Required Holders, in their discretion, in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and all applicable Laws.
If the conditions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section are not satisfied within ninety (90) days of the date of loss, then the insurance proceeds shall be disbursed as provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph (b) of this Section.
(c) If all or any portion of the Real Property owned, leased or operated by the Obligors shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term shall include any damage or taking by any Governmental Authority and any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, other than an insubstantial taking for the purpose of widening existing roads bordering such Real Property which does not adversely affect access or the use of such Real Property for its intended purposes, then, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, a portion of or the entire Obligations shall, at the option of the Required Holders, immediately become due and payable. Each Obligor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution, or the proposed, contemplated or threatened institution of any action or proceeding for the taking through condemnation of any Real Property owned, leased or operated by any Obligor or any part thereof shall notify the Holders, and each Holder is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, through counsel selected by the Required Holders, in their own or in the name of the applicable Obligor, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation. The applicable Obligor may compromise or settle any claim for compensation, but shall not make any compromise or settlement for an award unless all of the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. All such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and the right thereto are hereby assigned by the Obligors to the Holders, and the Holders are authorized, at their option, to collect and receive all such compensation, awards or damages and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor without any obligation to question the amount of any
-23-
such compensation, awards or damages. The net proceeds thereof shall be dealt with by the Holders in accordance with, and subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in Paragraph (b) or Paragraph (c), as applicable, of this Section 9.23 as if the condemnation proceeds were insurance proceeds and as if the date the condemnation proceeds become payable to the applicable Obligor was the date of loss.

The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Holders or Affiliate thereof on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by the Holders or Affiliate thereof in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any costs or expenses resulting from the gross negligence or bad faith of such Person.
14.04 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 14.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Company or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of the Company or any other Guarantor now or hereafter owing to any Guarantor by reason of any payment by such Guarantor under the Guarantee in this Section 14 is hereby subordinated to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that it will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of the Company to such Guarantor until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Guarantor shall prior to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the
-70-
Guaranteed Obligations collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Holders and be paid over to Holders on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of the guarantee contained herein.
14.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Holders, the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the Notes may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 12 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Sections 12.01(p), (q) and (r)) for purposes of Section 14.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Company and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Company) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 13.01.
14.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 14 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Holders, at their sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion action under New York CPLR Section 3213.
14.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 14 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
14.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 13.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 13.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, the Holders or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

The Company shall: (i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Purchaser (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP and local counsel) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein, (ii) pay for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Holders in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Holders set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
15.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Holder is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Guarantor or the Company or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Holders (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Holder wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Company or any

No notice to or demand on any Obligor in any case shall entitle any Obligor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

PEMCO AVIATION GROUP, INC.
SENIOR SECURED NOTE DUE 2007
$[ ] | Issue Date: February 15, 2006 |
For value received, the undersigned, PEMCO AVIATION GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the Company, which term includes any successor corporation under the Purchase Agreement hereinafter referred to), hereby promises to pay to the order of [HOLDER], a [ ], or its registered assigns (the Holder), the principal sum of $[ ] on the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (b) the date on which amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon acceleration thereof or otherwise (the Maturity Date) and to pay interest thereon from time to time as provided herein.
1. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company designated as its Senior Secured Notes due 2007 (herein called the Notes), issued in the aggregate principal amount limited to $5,000,000 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated as of February 15, 2006 (the Purchase Agreement) by and among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and the Purchaser party thereto, and is entitled to the benefits thereof and to the exercise of the remedies provided thereby or otherwise available in respect thereof. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned thereto in the Purchase Agreement.
2.
(a) The Company promises to pay interest (Interest) on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 15.0% per annum (the Interest Rate). Interest on this Note shall accrue from and including the date of issuance through and until repayment of the principal amount of this Note and payment of all Interest in full, and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve (12) thirty (30)-day months and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall be payable in cash quarterly in arrears on each January 1, March 1, June 1 and September 1 that the Notes are outstanding or, if any such date shall not be a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day to occur after such date (each date upon which interest shall be so payable, an Interest Payment Date),
-81-
beginning on March 1, 2006, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank designated in writing by the Holder on reasonable notice. In the absence of any such written designation, any such Interest payment shall be deemed made on the date a check for good funds in the applicable amount payable to the order of Holder is received by the Holder at its last address as reflected in the Companys Note Register (as defined in Section 10 hereof); if no such address appears, then to such Holder in care of the last address in such note register of any predecessor holder of this Note (or its predecessor).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, but subject to applicable law, any overdue principal of, overdue Interest on and any other overdue amounts payable under this Note shall bear interest, payable on demand in immediately available funds, for each day from the date payment thereof was due to the date of actual payment at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the Interest Rate and (ii) an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum. Subject to applicable law, any interest that shall accrue on overdue interest on this Note as provided in the preceding sentence and shall not have been paid in full in cash on or before the next Interest Payment Date to occur after the date on which the overdue interest became due and payable shall itself be deemed to be overdue interest on this Note to which the preceding sentence shall apply.
(c) In addition, subject to applicable law, with respect to any acceleration of this Note pursuant to Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement prior to the date that is nine (9) months following the Closing Date, any principal amount owing under this Note at any time that an Event of Default under the Purchase Agreement has occurred and is continuing shall bear interest, payable on demand in immediately available funds, for each day commencing on the occurrence of such Event of Default, at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the Interest Rate and (ii) an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum, calculated from the date of such payment upon acceleration to the date that is nine (9) months following the Closing Date.
(d) In the event that any interest rate(s) provided for in this Section 2 shall be determined to be unlawful, such interest rate(s) shall be computed at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Any payment by the Company of any interest amount in excess of that permitted by law shall be considered a mistake, with the excess being applied to the principal amount of this Note without prepayment premium or penalty; if no such principal amount is outstanding, such excess shall be returned to the Company.
3. The Notes are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, together with Interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date fixed for such redemption, as provided in the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of each redemption of less than all of the outstanding Notes, the Notes shall be redeemed pro rata among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for redemption, with adjustments, to the extent practicable, to compensate for any prior redemptions not made exactly in such proportion.
-82-
4. All redemption payments shall include payment of accrued Interest on the principal amount of this Note so prepaid and shall be applied first to all costs, expenses and indemnities payable under the Purchase Agreement, then to payment of default interest, if any, then to payment of the Interest and the Prepayment Fee, and thereafter to principal.
5. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issue in the name of the Holder hereof upon cancellation hereof.
6. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared to be due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Purchase Agreement. This Note is entitled to the benefits of certain guarantees set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the Guaranties) made in favor of the Holders of the Notes by the Guarantors. Reference is hereby made to the Purchase Agreement for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors and Holders of the Notes.
7. The Notes are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company and the Guaranties are secured by the pledge of substantially all of the assets and properties of each Guarantor, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the security interests securing the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes are contractually subordinate to the prior payment in full of amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility.
8. This Note may be transferred, pledged or assigned, in whole or in part, by the Holder at any time, in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also contains provisions permitting the Required Holders, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantors with certain provisions of the Purchase Agreement and certain past defaults under the Purchase Agreement and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in the exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
9. No reference herein to the Purchase Agreement and no provision of this Note or of the Purchase Agreement shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin and currency, herein prescribed.
10. The Company shall maintain a register (the Note Register) in its principal offices for the purpose of registering the Notes and any transfer or partial transfer thereof, which register shall as set forth in the Purchase Agreement reflect and identify the ownership of record of any interest in this Note. Upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of this Note at the principal offices of the Company, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver one or more new Notes of like tenor of a like aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of the Holder or a transferee or transferees. Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly
-83-
executed by the Holder of such Note or such Holders attorney duly authorized in writing. Prior to and at the time of due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
11. The term Holder as used herein shall also include any transferee of this Note whose name has been recorded by the Company in the Note Register. Each transferee of this Note acknowledges that this Note has not been registered under the Securities Act, and may be transferred only pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
12. On receipt by the Company of an affidavit of an authorized representative of the Holder stating the circumstances of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note (and in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Note), the Company, at its expense, will promptly execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of like tenor. If required by the Company, such Holder must provide indemnity sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Company to protect the Company from any loss which they may suffer if a lost, stolen or destroyed Note is replaced.
13. All notices, demands and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 15.03 of the Purchase Agreement.
14. This Note shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and enforced under, the laws of the state of New York applicable to agreements or instruments entered into and performed entirely within such state.

Schedule 7.28 Environmental Matters
1. In December 1997, the Company received an inspection report from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) documenting the results of an inspection at the Birmingham, Alabama facility. The report cited various violations of environmental laws. The Company has taken actions to correct the items raised by the inspection. On December 21, 1998, the Company and the EPA entered into a Consent Agreement and Consent Order (CACO) resolving the complaint and compliance order. As part of the CACO, the Company agreed to assess a portion of the Birmingham facility for possible contamination by certain constituents and remediate such contamination as necessary. During 1999, the Company drilled test wells and took samples under its Phase I Site Characterization Plan. These samples were forwarded to the EPA in 1999. A Phase II Site Characterization Plan (Phase II Plan) was submitted to the EPA in 2001 upon receiving the agencys response to the 1999 samples. The Phase II Plan was approved in January 2003, wells installed and favorable sampling events recorded. The Company compiled the results and submitted a revised work plan to the agency which was accepted on July 30, 2004. The Media Clean-up Standard Report, as required, was submitted to the EPA in January 2005. It is the Companys policy to accrue environmental remediation costs when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and when a range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews the status of all significant existing or potential environmental issues and adjusts its accruals as necessary. The Company recorded liabilities of approximately $100,000 related to the Phase II Plan at both December 31, 2004 and 2003, which are included in accrued liabilities other on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company anticipates the total costs of the Phase II Plan to be approximately $550,000, of which the Company has paid approximately $450,000 as of December 31, 2004. Management believes that the results of the Phase II Plan will not have a material impact on the Company financial position or results of operations.
2. In March 2005, Pemco Aeroplex received notice from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) that it was believed to be a potentially responsible part (PRP) with regard to contamination found on the Philips Service site located in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Pemco was listed as a PRP due to alleged use by the Company of contract services in disposal of hazardous substances. The Company joined a large group of existing PRP notification recipients (Group) in retaining environmental counsel. The Company believes it is possible that paint chips were disposed of with this contractor beginning in 1997. PSC filed for bankruptcy in 2003. It is noted that contamination seems to be primarily linked to a diesel fuel tank leak whereby over 200,000 gallons of diesel product was lost or released into the environment at the Rock Hill site. The database of manifests located on-site at PSC has not been completed for review to date. The Company is insured in this matter.
