IT IS HEREBY FOUND:
A. Unless otherwise indicated herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, (as hereafter defined).
B. On July 23, 2008 (the Petition Date), the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief with this Court under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Chapter 11 Cases). The Debtors are continuing in possession of their property, and operating and managing their businesses, as debtors-in-possession pursuant to §§ 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On July 30, 2008, the Office of the United States Trustee formed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (Committee)
C. This Court has jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases and the Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b) and 1334. Consideration of the Motion constitutes a core proceeding as defined in 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2).
D. Laurus, the Debtors, and certain affiliates of Debtors, are parties to, or have an interest in, one or more of the following documents (collectively the Pre-Petition Loan Documents): (1) Security and Purchase Agreement dated as of December 6, 2005 (the Security Agreement); (2) Member Pledge Agreement dated as of December 6, 2005; (3) Stock
3
Pledge Agreement dated as of December 6, 2005; (4) Joinder Agreement executed as of October 6, 2006; (5) Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of December 6, 2005; (6) Secured Revolving Note dated December 6, 2005; (7) Secured Term Note dated December 6, 2005; (8) Deposit Account Control Agreement dated as of December 8, 2005; (9) Termination Agreement dated December 8, 2005; (10) Subordination Agreement dated as of October 9, 2006; (11) Letter Agreement dated October 10, 2006; (12) Reaffirmation and Ratification Agreement, dated June 21, 2007; (13) Consent, dated as of August 7, 2007; (14) Amendment to Exhibit A of Deposit Account Control Agreement dated January 17, 2008; (15) Release of Security Interest dated January 24, 2008; (16) Consent and Release Letter dated January 28, 2008; and all other related documents, (each as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases, and all collateral and ancillary documents executed in connection therewith).
E. As identified above, the Pre-Petition Loan Documents include: (i) that certain Secured Revolving Note dated December 6, 2005, in the initial aggregate amount of $15,000,000.00 (the Secured Revolving Note), and (ii) that certain Secured Term Note dated December 6, 2005, in the principal amount of $5,000,000.00, the (Secured Term Note).
F. Pursuant to the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, all obligations of the Debtors to Laurus of any kind or nature under the Pre-Petition Loan Documents are secured by a first priority blanket security interest (the Pre-Petition Liens) in substantially all of the Debtors assets including, without limitation, equipment, inventory, goods, fixtures, general liabilities, accounts, accounts receivable, deposit accounts (including without limitation bank accounts and all funds on deposit therein), the Debtors rights in escrow accounts and to receive proceeds from previous sale transactions, instruments, chattel paper, general intangibles, tax refunds, contracts,
4
letter of credit rights, intellectual property, commercial tort claims, if any, stock, documents of title, tangible and intangible personal and investment property, money, cash and all cash equivalents, and all cash held as cash collateral, books and records, all supporting obligations, and the proceeds and products of all of the foregoing as more particularly included and described in the Pre-Petition Loan Documents (the Pre-Petition Collateral).
G. Without prejudice to the rights of the Committee (as defined herein) that may be appointed (but subject to the limitations described in ordering paragraph 23 below), the Debtors admit that the Debtors were truly and justly indebted to Laurus under the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, without defense, counterclaim or offset of any kind, and that as of July 22, 2008 such liability to Laurus was, including interest, in the aggregate amount of approximately (but not less than) $5,321,965.17 with respect to the Pre-Petition Loan Documents (plus attorneys fees, costs, expenses, and fees, including default fees, unpaid thereon) (the Pre-Petition Indebtedness). As of the Petition Date, the Debtors, on behalf of their estates, but subject only to the Committees investigative and Challenge Rights under Paragraph 25 of this Order, in consideration of the Post-Petition Financing to be made available under the terms of this Order, waive and release any and all causes of action and claims against Laurus and its respective affiliates agents, representatives, assigns and successors. The provisions of this paragraph G constitute a stipulation by the Debtors and shall become a finding by the Court, subject to the provisions of ordering paragraph 23 of this Order.
H. Without prejudice to the rights of the Committee (but subject to the limitations described in ordering paragraph 23 below), the Debtors further admit that, by reason of the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, (i) the Pre-Petition Indebtedness is secured by valid, properly perfected, enforceable and non-avoidable liens and security interests granted by the Debtors to
5
Laurus upon and in all of the Pre-Petition Collateral, and (ii) the liens held by Laurus securing the Pre-Petition Indebtedness are senior to all other security interests in the Pre-Petition Collateral subject only to any Permitted Liens (as defined in paragraph 8(a) below). The provisions of this paragraph H constitute a stipulation by the Debtors and shall become a finding of the Court, subject to the provisions of ordering paragraph 23 of this Order.
I. Given the Debtors current financial condition, the Debtors are unable to operate by using only Cash Collateral and arc unable to provide Laurus with adequate protection for the use of Cash Collateral. Moreover, the Debtors are unable to obtain unsecured credit allowable under Bankruptcy Code § 503(b)(l) as an administrative expense. Financing on a post-petition basis is not otherwise available without the Debtors granting, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 364(c)(l), claims having priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kinds specified in §§ 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and securing such indebtedness and obligations with the security interests in and the liens upon the property described below pursuant to §§ 364(c) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.
J. Notice of the relief requested herein has been given to (i) the Office of the United States Trustee, (ii) the creditors holding the 20 largest unsecured claims against each of the Debtors; (iii) the Committee; and (iv) known holders of pre-petition liens against the Debtors property.
K. Based on the record presented to this Court by the Debtors, it appears that the Post-Petition Financing and use of Cash Collateral have been negotiated in good faith and at arms-length among the Debtors and Laurus and any credit extended and loans made and to be made to the Debtors by Laurus and DIP Lenders pursuant to this Order shall be deemed to have been extended, issued or made, as the case may be, in good faith as required by, and within the
6
meaning of, Section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and Laurus and the DIP Lender shall have all of the protections thereunder.
L. Based on the record before this Court, it appears that the terms of this Order, including, without limitation, the terms of the Post-Petition Financing and use of Cash Collateral, are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties, and are supported by reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration.
M. The Debtors have requested immediate entry of this Order. The permission granted herein to use Cash Collateral and obtain the Post-Petition Financing and obtain funds thereunder is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors. This Court concludes that entry of this Order is in the best interests of the Debtors estates and creditors as its implementation will, among other things, allow for the flow of supplies and services to the Debtors necessary to sustain the Debtors business operations and enhance the Debtors prospects for a successful completion of the Chapter 11 Cases.
N. Based upon the foregoing findings and conclusions, and upon the record made before this Court at the Preliminary Hearing, and the undersigned consents of the Debtors and Laurus, and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED DETERMINED AND DECREED that:
1. Motion Granted. The Motion is granted on a final basis, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Order.
2. Authorization. The Debtors are expressly authorized and empowered to (i) obtain the Post-Petition Financing, use the Cash Collateral, and perform their obligations strictly pursuant to the provisions of this Order; (ii) perform their obligations under
7
the Pre-Petition Loan Documents as such documents are, or may be, amended and modified pursuant to the terms of this Order; and (iii) enter into such other agreements, instruments and documents as may be necessary or required to evidence the obligations to DIP Lender and Laurus to consummate the terms and provisions of the Motion and this Order and to evidence perfection of the liens and security interests to be given to DIP Lender and Laurus (the Pre-Petition Loan Documents as modified by this Order shall hereinafter be referred to as the DIP Loan Documents). DIP Lenders advances of the Post-Petition Financing shall be pursuant to the same terms as the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, as modified by this Order, without the need for further execution or documentation, and all advances and borrowings shall be in accordance with the Secured Revolving Note and the other Pre-Petition Loan Documents. The borrowing(s) made under the credit facility maintained under the DIP Loan Documents (the DIP Facility) and all other indebtedness and obligations incurred on or after the Petition Date with respect to loans, advances and any other indebtedness or obligations, contingent or absolute, pursuant to this Order and the DIP Loan Documents which may now or from time to time hereafter be owing by the Debtors to DIP Lender (including principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and fees costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) are referred to herein as the DIP Indebtedness, and, together with the Pre-Petition Indebtedness, as the Indebtedness. The Debtors and Laurus may enter into nonmaterial amendments of or modifications to the DIP Loan Documents and without the need of further notice and hearing or order of this Court.

5. Interest, Fees, Costs and Expenses. The Pre-Petition Indebtedness shall bear interest at the applicable rates set forth in the DIP Loan Documents and the Pre-Petition Loan Documents. The DIP Indebtedness shall bear interest at the same rates as in the Pre-Petition Loan Documents. DIP Lender and Laurus shall be entitled to recover all of their reasonable attorneys fees and other professional fees as well as all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Indebtedness and this proceeding. In consideration for providing the DIP Facility, DIP Lender shall be paid all fees specified in the DIP Loan Documents in accordance
9
with the terms therein for such payment. In addition, for agreeing to provide the DIP Facility, DIP Lender shall be entitled to a payment (Facility Payment) in the amount of $200,000 which shall be included in the DIP Indebtedness and fully earned and non-refundable upon entry of this Oder.

7. Liens to Secure the DIP Indebtedness. As security for the DIP Indebtedness, DIP Lender is hereby granted the following security and liens (the DIP Facility
11
Liens) in all currently owned or hereafter acquired property and assets of the Debtors of any kind or nature, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and all proceeds, products, rents and profits thereof, including, without limitation, all cash, goods, accounts receivable, inventory, cash in advance deposits, the Debtors rights in escrow accounts and to receive any remaining proceeds from previous sale transactions, general intangibles, goodwill, investment property (including, without limitation, ownership interests in corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies), deposit accounts, real estate, intellectual property, machinery, leasehold interests, equipment, vehicles, trademarks, trade names, licenses, the Pre-Petition Collateral, causes of action, tax refund claims, commercial tort claims and insurance proceeds, and the proceeds, products, rents and profits of all of the foregoing (all of the foregoing, the DIP Facility Collateral), subject only to, in the event of the termination of the DIP Facility and the payment of the Carve-Out (as defined in paragraph 15):
(a) Pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, a perfected first priority senior security interest in and lien upon all property noted above of the Debtors, whether existing on the Petition Date or thereafter acquired, that, as of the Petition Date, is not subject to valid, perfected and non-avoidable liens;
(b) Pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, a perfected security interest in and lien upon all property noted above of the Debtors, whether existing on the Petition Date or thereafter acquired, that is subject to valid, perfected and unavoidable liens in existence as of the Petition Date or to valid and unavoidable liens in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date that are perfected subsequent to the Petition Date as permitted by Section
12
546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (546(b) Liens), immediately junior in priority to such valid, perfected and unavoidable liens;
(c) Pursuant to Section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, a perfected first priority senior priming lien (the Priming Liens) on all of the DIP Facility Collateral, including the Pre-Petition Collateral, which shall be senior to all other security interests and liens in property of the Debtors estates except only Permitted Liens (as defined in paragraph 8(a) below); and
(d) In addition, except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in this Order, or in a written instrument, agreement or other document executed by DIP Lender and subject to paragraph 23 of this Order, neither the Pre-Petition Liens nor the DIP Facility Liens shall be subject to subordination to any other liens, security interests or claims under Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Any security interest or lien upon the Pre-Petition Collateral or the DIP Facility Collateral which is avoided or otherwise preserved for the benefit of the Debtors estates under Section 551 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code shall be subordinate to the Pre-Petition Liens, the DIP Facility Liens and the Senior Adequate Protection Liens (defined in paragraph 8(a) below).
8. Adequate Protection Liens. As adequate protection of Laurus interests in the Pre-Petition Collateral, including use of the Cash Collateral, pursuant to §§ 361, 363 and 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, Laurus is hereby granted valid, binding, enforceable and perfected additional and replacement liens (the Adequate Protection Liens) in all property of the Debtors estates (excluding only actions for preferences, fraudulent conveyances and other avoidance claims and recoveries under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, hereinafter referred to as Avoidance Actions), including the DIP Facility Collateral, to the extent of any decrease in
13
the value of Laurus interests in the Pre-Petition Collateral occurring subsequent to the Petition Date, with such decrease in value to include decreases resulting from the Debtors use (if any) of Cash Collateral, the depreciation, use, sale, loss, decline in value or market price of the Pre-Petition Collateral, or otherwise. The Adequate Protection Liens shall enjoy the same validity and extent as the liens Laurus held on the Petition Date. The Adequate Protection Liens are (a) subject only to (i) existing liens and encumbrances that were senior to those of Laurus as of the Filing Date under applicable non-bankruptcy law, and which are valid, binding, enforceable, perfected and non-avoidable liens existing in the Pre-Petition Collateral as of the Petition Date (the Permitted Liens), other than the Pre-Petition Liens; (ii) the Carve-Out (as defined in paragraph 15); and (iii) the DIP Facility Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lauras Adequate Protection Liens and Liens to secure the DIP Indebtedness referenced in Paragraph 7 shall extend to Avoidance Actions, and the proceeds thereof solely as to claims involving avoidable transfers of Laurus Pre-Petition Collateral or Post-Petition Collateral, provided, however, that Laurus Adequate Protection Liens and the Liens to secure the DIP Indebtedness shall not extend to cash transfers under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code.
9. Section 507(b) Priority Administrative Claims. If, notwithstanding the provision of the Adequate Protection Liens, such Adequate Protection liens do not provide adequate protection of Laurus interests in the Pre-Petition Collateral, Laurus shall (i) have a claim allowed under §§ 507(a)(2) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (the 507(b) Claim), and, except with respect to being subordinated to the Carve-Out, such 507(b) Claim shall be entitled to priority over every other claim allowable under such § 507(a)(2); and (ii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, be entitled to seek further adequate protection of its interests and such further relief as is consistent therewith.
14
10. Superpriority Claims. Subject to the Carve-Out described in ordering paragraph 15 below, all of the DIP Indebtedness shall have the highest administrative priority under § 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall have priority over all other costs and expenses of administration of any kind, including those specified in, or ordered pursuant to, §§ 105, 326, 330, 331, 503(b), 507(a), 507(b) or 726 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (whether incurred in the Chapter 11 Case or any successor case), and shall at all times be senior to the rights of the Debtors, any successor trustee or estate representative in the Chapter 11 Cases or any successor case (the Superpriority Claims) provided, however, that the Superpriority Claims shall extend to the proceeds of the Avoidance Actions solely as to claims involving Avoidable Transfers of Laurus Pre-Petition or Post-Petition Collateral, other than cash transfers under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code. Nothing in this Order or the Approved Budgets (as defined in paragraph 17 below) shall constitute the consent by DIP Lender or Laurus to the imposition of any costs or expense of administration or other charge, fees, liens, assessment or claim (including, without limitation, any amounts set forth in the Approved Budgets) against DIP Lender or Laurus, their claims or collateral (including the Pre-Petition Collateral and the DIP Facility Collateral) under § 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, all of which rights have been waived as to all parties including the Committee pursuant to the terms of this Order.
11. Perfection of DIP Facility Liens and Adequate Protection Liens. The DIP Facility Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens shall be, and they hereby are, deemed duly perfected and recorded under all applicable federal or state or other laws as of the date hereof, and no notice, filing, mortgage recordation, possession, further order, landlord or warehousemen lien waivers or other third party consents or other act, shall be required to effect
15
such perfection; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of § 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, (i) DIP Lender may, at its sole option, file or record or cause the Debtors to obtain any such landlord or warehousemen lien waivers or other third party consents or execute, file or record, at the Debtors expense, any such UCC financing statements, notices of liens and security interests, mortgages and other similar documents as DIP Lender may require, and (ii) DIP Lender may require the Debtors to deliver to DIP Lender any chattel paper, instruments or securities evidencing or constituting any DIP Facility Collateral, and the Debtors are directed to cooperate and comply therewith. If DIP Lender, in its sole discretion, shall elect for any reason to cause to be obtained any landlord or warehouse lien waivers or other third party consents or cause to be filed or recorded any such notices, financing statements, mortgages or other documents with respect to such security interests and liens, or if DIP Lender, in accordance with the DIP Loan Documents or this Order, elects to take possession of any DIP Facility Collateral, all such landlord or warehouse lien waivers or other third party consents, financing statements or similar documents or taking possession shall be deemed to have been filed or recorded or taken in these Chapter 11 Cases as of the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases but with the priorities as set forth herein, DIP Lender and Laurus may (in their sole discretion), but shall not be required to, file a certified copy of this Order in any filing or recording office in any county or other jurisdiction in which the Debtors have real or personal property and such filing or recording shall be accepted and shall constitute further evidence of (a) DIP Lenders interest in the DIP Facility Collateral and (b) Laurus interest in the Pre-Petition Collateral.
12. Waiver by Debtors of Liens and Other Matters. The Debtors and their estates (and any party in interest acting on behalf of the Debtors) hereby irrevocably waive, and are barred from asserting or exercising any right (a) without Laurus or DIP Lenders prior
16
written consent (which may be withheld in their sole discretion) or (b) without prior indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the Indebtedness: (i) to grant or impose, or request that the Court grant or impose, under § 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, liens on or security interests in any DIP Facility Collateral, which are pari passu with or senior to the DIP Facility Liens or the Adequate Protection Liens and Senior Adequate Protection Liens; (ii) to return goods pursuant to § 546(h) of the Bankruptcy Code to any creditor of the Debtors or to consent to any creditor taking any setoff against any of such creditors pre-petition indebtedness based upon any such return pursuant to § 553(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (iii) to seek a surcharge of the DIP Facility Collateral or the Pre-Petition Collateral under § 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (which waiver shall be effective upon entry of the Final Order); (iv) to seek non-consensual use of Cash Collateral under § 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) to modify or affect any of the rights of Laurus or the DIP Lender under this Order or any DIP Loan Documents by any order entered in any of the Chapter 11 Cases or any successor cases; or (vi) propose a plan of reorganization or liquidation without the written consent of the DIP Lender and Laurus.
13. Sale Out of the Ordinary Course of Business. Subject to the requirement that the Indebtedness be paid in full in Laurus discretion, the Debtors may not propose a sale of any of their assets outside the ordinary course of business unless (a) all net proceeds realized from such sale, less any accrued, allowable and payable portion of the Carve-Out as contained in this Order, are transferred to Laurus and DIP Lender, as their respective interests appear, for immediate application in reduction of the Indebtedness in the manner set forth in this Order, until such time as the Indebtedness shall have been satisfied in full. Such sale proceeds shall not be permitted to be used by the Debtors under any circumstances except as
17
otherwise provided by this Order, and any sale application or procedure involving all or any portion of the Debtors assets shall expressly provide that Laurus and DIP Lender may exercise their rights to credit bid their indebtedness under § 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code.
14. Modification of Automatic Stay; Other Remedies.
(a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph, which governs any action of Laurus and DIP Lender to foreclose on their liens on any Pre-Petition Collateral or DIP Facility Collateral or to exercise any other default-related remedies (other than those specifically referenced in the next sentence), the automatic stay pursuant to § 362 of the Bankruptcy Code is hereby vacated as to Laurus and DIP Lender to permit each of them to perform in accordance with, and exercise, enjoy and enforce their respective rights, benefits, privileges and remedies pursuant to this Order and the DIP Loan Documents without further application or motion to, or order from, the Court, and regardless of any change in circumstances (whether or not foreseeable), and neither Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code nor any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other law, shall be utilized to prohibit Laurus or DIP Lender from the exercise, enjoyment and enforcement of any of such rights, benefits, privileges and remedies. Laurus and DIP Lender are hereby granted leave to receive and apply payments to the Indebtedness from collections on and proceeds of the Pre-Petition Collateral and the DIP Facility Collateral in the manner specified in this Order and the DIP Loan Documents. In addition, Laurus and DIP Lender are, as their interests may appear, hereby granted leave to, among other things, to (a) file or record any financing statements, mortgages or other instruments or other documents to evidence the Senior Adequate Protection Liens or the DIP Facility Liens or the Subordinated Adequate Protection Liens, (b) to charge and collect any interest, fees, costs, and expenses and other amounts accruing at any time under the DIP Loan Documents or this
18
Order as provided therein, (c) to give the Debtors any notice provided for in any of the DIP Loan Documents or this Order, and (d) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, and without application or motion to, or order from the Court or any other court, (i) terminate the DIP Facility and the DIP Loan Documents, (ii) declare all Indebtedness immediately due and payable, and (iii) revoke the Debtors right, if any, under this Order and/or the other DIP Loan Documents to use Cash Collateral.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date, Laurus or DIP Lender may file a motion to terminate the automatic stay which shall be served by hand delivery, facsimile or overnight mail on counsel to the Debtors, the Committee and the Office of the United States Trustee, and the Court shall conduct a hearing on an expedited or emergency basis, but not more than three days, to consider terminating the automatic stay under § 362 of the Bankruptcy Code in favor of Laurus or DIP Lender for the purpose of allowing the DIP Lender or Laurus to exercise all of their rights and remedies under the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, the DIP Loan Documents, this Order and applicable law, including foreclosing or otherwise enforcing their liens on any or all of the Pre-Petition Collateral and the DIP Facility Collateral. The only issue that may be raised by any party or addressed at such hearing is whether the Termination Date has occurred. Subject to the right of parties-in-interest to contest whether a Termination Date has occurred, the Debtors shall cooperate with Laurus and DIP Lender in connection with any enforcement action by such parties by, among other things, (i) providing access to its premises to representatives of Laurus and DIP Lender, (ii) providing Laurus and DIP Lender or their designees access to the Debtors books and records, (iii) performing all other obligations set forth in the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, this Order and/or the other DIP Loan Documents, and (iv) taking reasonable steps to safeguard and protect the Pre-Petition Collateral,
19
and the DIP Facility Collateral until Laurus or DIP Lender can make adequate provision to protect and safeguard the Pre-Petition Collateral and the DIP Facility Collateral, and the Debtors shall not otherwise interfere or encourage others to interfere with enforcement of the rights of Laurus or DIP Lender.
15. Carve-Out.
(a) Subject to the remaining provisions of this paragraph, the Adequate Protection Liens, the DIP Facility Liens, the Superpriority Claims and the 507(b) Claim shall be subject to (a) the payment of any unpaid fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 (including, without limitation, fees under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6)), (b) the fees due to the Clerk of the Court (c) the actual fees and expenses incurred by professionals, for the period prior to the occurrence of a Termination Date, retained by an order of the Court entered pursuant to Sections 327 or 1103(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided they are within the amounts set forth in the Approved Budgets and are subsequently allowed by the Bankruptcy Court under Sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Pre-Termination Date Carve-Out), (d) the payment, following the occurrence of any Termination Date which is not waived by DIP Lender, of allowed professional fees and disbursements incurred after such Termination Date by all Professionals retained in this proceeding, pursuant to Sections 327, 328 or 1103(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000 to the extent such amounts are allowed by the Court and not otherwise payable from any unused amounts for payments to Professionals set forth in the Approved Budgets (the Post-Termination Date Carve-Out), and (e) any Expense Reimbursement (but not any Break-up Fee), not to exceed $100,000, due and owing to MHC Acquisition Corp. (MHC) pursuant to the terms of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement between MHC and the Debtors dated July 22, 2008 (the Agreement), which
20
Expense Reimbursement shall be paid to MHC by the Debtors as and when due under the Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date that is not waived by DIP Lender, DIP Lender shall fund the remaining portion of the Pre-Termination Date Carve-Out, if any, within seven (7) days after being provided with a notice setting forth the amount of accrued and unpaid fees and costs allowable under the Approved Budget and this Order, together with supporting documentation for such amounts. DIP Lender shall be under no obligation to fund the Post-Termination Date Carve-Out until it is determined that there will be insufficient assets in the estate for this purpose. In the event sufficient funds will not otherwise be available, DIP Lender shall fund the Post-Termination Date Carve-Out upon being provided with notification of the unavailability of estate assets for such funding. Subject to the foregoing, the rights of the professionals to the Pre-Termination Date Carve-Out, the Post-Termination Date Carve-Out, or such lessor amounts as may be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, shall be senior to the rights of DIP Lender to such funds. Any Curve-Outs funded by Laurus or DIP Lender shall be deemed advances under the DIP Facility.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Order or the DIP Loan Documents, no proceeds of any Collateral of Laurus (including any pre-petition retainer funded by Laurus) pursuant to the Pre-Petition Loan Documents nor any Pre-Petition Collateral or DIP Facility Collateral (or proceeds thereof) nor any portion of the Carve-Out may be used to pay any claims for services rendered by any of the Debtors professionals, any other entity, or the Committees professionals, if any, in connection with the assertion of or joinder in any claim, counterclaim, action, proceeding, application, motion, objection, defense or other contested matter, the purpose of which is to seek or the result of which would be to obtain any order, judgment, determination, declaration or similar relief (x) invalidating, setting aside, avoiding or
21
subordinating, in whole or in part, the Indebtedness or the liens and security interests of Laurus and DIP Lender in the Pre-Petition Collateral or in the DTP Facility Collateral; or (y) preventing, hindering or otherwise delaying, whether directly or indirectly, the exercise by Laurus or DIP Lender of any of their rights and remedies under the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, this Order and/or the DIP Loan Documents or Laurus or DTP Lenders enforcement or realization upon any of the liens on or security interests in any Pre-Petition Collateral or DIP Facility Collateral; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to claims (i) to contest whether a Termination Date has occurred and (ii) for services rendered by the professionals retained by the Committee, if any, within the time provided in paragraph 25 of this Order in connection with the Committees investigation of (but not the assertion of) any Challenge Rights as defined in Paragraph 25 of this Order. Laurus and DIP Lender shall retain their rights as a party in interest to object to any fee applications or other claims of any entity including, but not limited to, professionals retained by the Debtors and Committee.
(c) So long as no Termination Date has occurred, the Debtors are authorized to use the proceeds of the DIP Facility and the Cash Collateral in accordance with and limited to the amounts in the Approved Budget to pay such compensation and expense reimbursements of professional persons retained by the Debtors (the Debtor Professionals), the Committee (Committee Professionals), and reasonable expenses of Committee members, as may be awarded by the Court pursuant to Section 328, 330 or 331 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Professional Expenses). The Debtor Professionals and the Committee Professionals, if any, shall be permitted to submit to the Debtors, with copies to counsel for the DIP Lender, periodic statements (but no more frequently than on a monthly basis) for services rendered and reimbursable expenses incurred by them and the expenses for Committee members (the
22
Conditional Professional Expenses). Nothing in this subparagraph shall prejudice or impair the rights of either the Debtors Professionals or the Committees Professionals to request an award of compensation in excess of the amounts set forth in the Approved Budget (the Unbudgeted Professional Expenses) or the rights of the DIP Lender or Laurus to object to the amount or reasonableness of the Conditional Professional Expenses, the Professional Expenses or the Unbudgeted Professional Expenses. In no event, however, shall Laurus or DIP Lender be responsible for the payment of Unbudgeted Professional Expenses or any amounts in excess of the Carve-Out.
16. Cash Collection Procedures. From and after the date of the entry of this Order all collections and proceeds of any DIP Facility Collateral or services provided by the Debtors and all other cash or cash equivalents which shall at any time come into the possession or control of the Debtors, or to which the Debtors shall become entitled at any time shall be deposited in the same bank accounts into which the collections and proceeds of the Pre-Petition Collateral were deposited under the Pre-Petition Loan Documents (or in such other accounts as are designated by Laurus from time to time), and such collections and proceeds upon such deposit shall become the sole and exclusive property of Laurus or DIP Lender and shall be applied against the Indebtedness as provided in this Order and the DIP Loan Documents. In the event the Debtors intend to open any new bank accounts that would affect the right and ability of Laurus to receive any proceeds as contemplated by this Order, the Debtors shall first obtain a lock box agreement or other written confirmation to the satisfaction of Laurus and the DIP Lender from the relevant banking institution recognizing the rights of Laurus and the DIP Lender as provided for in this Order. All cash and cash equivalents of the Debtors currently in any account of the Debtors or otherwise in the possession or control of the Debtors constitute
23
proceeds of the Pre-Petition Collateral and shall be immediately remitted to Lauras for application against the Indebtedness. All financial institutions in which any lockboxes, blocked accounts or other accounts of the Debtors are located are hereby authorized and directed to comply with any request of Laurus to turnover to Laurus all funds therein without offset or deduction of any kind.
17. Budget; Use of Cash Collateral and DIP Facility Proceeds.
(a) Attached as Exhibit A hereto and incorporated herein by reference is a budget (which has been approved by DIP Lender) setting forth by line item all projected cash receipts, billings and cash disbursements for the time period from the weeks ending July 25, 2008 through September 12, 2008 (the Initial Approved Budget). The Initial Approved Budget may be modified or supplemented from time to time by additional budgets (covering any time period covered by a prior budget or covering additional time periods) to which Laurus and DIP Lender agree in their sole discretion (each such additional budget, a Supplemental Approved Budget), so long as such modification or supplement does not alter the amount of the Professional Fee Expenses set forth on any Approved Budget without the consent of the Debtor Professionals and Committee Professionals. The aggregate of all items approved by DIP Lender and Laurus in the Initial Approved Budget and any and all Supplemental Approved Budgets (acceptable to Laurus and DIP Lender in their sole discretion) shall constitute an Approved Budget.
(b) Debtors may use Cash Collateral and the proceeds of the DIP Facility exclusively to pay for the expenses incurred by Debtors as provided for in the Approved Budget. Debtors represent and warrant that (a) the expenditures set forth in the Approved Budget constitute all of Debtors projected expenses during the period of the Approved Budget,
24
and (b) the Cash Collateral and the sums to be advanced by DIP Lender pursuant to the DIP Facility are sufficient to pay all of the expenses set forth in the Approved Budget. Notwithstanding the amount of Professional Fees reflected on the item entitled Creditors Professionals on the Approved Budget annexed to this Order, which item relates to the fees and expenses of the Committees Professionals, the aggregate amount during the budget period for this item shall be increased from $150,000 to $250,000. Debtors cash receipts shall not be less than as set forth in the Approved Budget and Debtors expenses shall not exceed those set forth in the Approved Budget, in all cases subject to the Approved Sales Variance, the Approved Cash Receipts Variance, and the Approved Disbursements Variance (all as defined below, and collectively, the Approved Variances). Notwithstanding the foregoing, DIP Lender shall have no obligation to provide the DIP Facility if the Debtors exceed the disbursement amounts overadvance limits provided in the Approved Budgets. As used herein, the Approved Variances include, and are defined and calculated as follows:
(i) | Approved Billing Variance means a negative variance of less than 8%, between Debtors actual billings and Debtors projected billings measured as of the end of the weeks ending August 8, 2008 and September 12, 2008 covered by the Approved Budget; | ||
(ii) | Approved Cash Receipts Variance means a negative variance of less than 10%, between Debtors actual cash receipts and Debtors projected cash receipts measured commencing as of the end of the second week covered by the Approved Budget and each week thereafter for both (i) the two-week period concluding with the week during which the variance is being calculated, and (ii) cumulatively from the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases concluding with the week during which the variance is being calculated; | ||
(iii) | Approved Disbursements Variance means a positive variance of (A) less than 71/2%, between Debtors actual disbursements and Debtors projected disbursements, on a line item basis, and (B) less than 71/2% of the Debtors actual disbursements and Debtors projected disbursements, on a cumulative basis, each measured commencing as of the end of the second week covered by the |
25
Approved Budget and each week thereafter for both (i) the two-week period concluding with the week during which the variance is being calculated, and (ii) cumulatively from the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases concluding with the week during which the variance is being calculated. |
18. Financial Reporting. In addition to all of the financial reports the Debtors are required to provide to Laurus pursuant to the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, which financial reports the Debtors shall continue to provide to Laurus timely in accordance with the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, the Debtors shall also provide the following reports to DIP Lender and Laurus, with copies to the Committee: (i) no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) each business day, a weekly borrowing base certificate in the same format as which were submitted prior to the Petition Date, along with a log of each of the daily disbursements and collections; (ii) no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) each Wednesday, a comparison of the items in the Budget for the preceding week to the Debtors actual performance that includes a narrative summary of any material variances from the Budget for the preceding week; (iii) no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) each Monday, a detailed report from the Debtors investment bankers that summarizes the status of the Debtors efforts to sell substantially all of its assets as a going concern, which report shall include (w) a tracking chart reflecting what communications, if any, the Investment Banker had with interested parties during the prior week; (x) copies of expressions of interest or letters of intent received by the Debtors from third parties; (y) a summary of the due diligence activities conducted by interested parties in the preceding week; and (z) a time table for execution of definitive agreements with potential parties and the filing of pleadings with the Court seeking approval of the sale; and (ii) no later than the 10th day of each month, beginning August 10, 2008, the Debtors financial statements (including detail by operating division and consolidated balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements)
26
for the immediately preceding month in the same format as the Debtors have been providing to Laurus prior to the Petition Date.
19. Covenants. The Debtors shall timely comply with all of the covenants set forth in the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, this Order and the DIP Loan Documents, other than the financial covenants which are superseded by the Approved Budgets and any covenants relating to the Debtors insolvency or the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases.
20. Application of Proceeds. Neither the Debtors nor any other party shall have the right to direct or seek an order directing the manner of application of any payments to DIP Lender or Laurus or any other receipts by DIP Lender or Laurus of proceeds of any of the Pre-Petition Collateral or DIP Facility Collateral other than in the manner set forth in this Order and the Pre-Petition Loan Documents and the DIP Loan Documents.
21. DIP Lender and Laurus Reservation of Rights. DIP Lender and Laurus do not waive, and expressly reserve, any and all claims, defenses, rights and remedies they have pursuant to any or all of the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, the DIP Loan Documents, the Bankruptcy Code (including but not limited to Section 1110 thereof) and/or other applicable law against the Debtors and any officer, director, employee, agent or other representative of the Debtors. In addition, the rights and obligations of the Debtors and the rights, claims, liens, security interests and priorities of DIP Lender and Laurus arising under this Order are in addition to, and are not intended as a waiver or substitution for, the rights, obligations, claims, liens, security interests and priorities granted by the Debtors, in its pre-petition capacity, under the Pre- Petition Loan Documents.
27
22. Order Binding on Successors. The provisions of this Order shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of DIP Lender, Laurus, and the Debtors and their respective successors and assigns (including any trustee or other estate representative appointed as a representative of the Debtors estate or of any estate in any successor cases). No third parties are intended to be or shall be deemed to be third party beneficiaries of this Order or the DIP Loan Documents.
23. Releases and Validation of Pre-Petition Indebtedness and Pre-Petition Liens: Allowance of Pre-Petition Indebtedness as Fully Secured Claim. The release, discharge, waivers and agreements set forth in this ordering paragraph will be deemed effective upon the entry of a Final Order (as defined below) incorporating this paragraph, subject only to the rights of the Committee, if any, or any party in interest with requisite standing as set forth in paragraph 25 below. Subject to the rights of the Committee, if any, or any party in interest with requisite standing acting on behalf of the estate pursuant to paragraph 25, below, the Debtors and their estates, hereby: (a) release and discharge Laurus together with all of their affiliates, agents, attorneys, officers, directors and employees from any and all claims and causes of action arising out of, based upon or related to, in whole or in part, any of the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, any aspect of the pre-petition relationship between Laurus and the Debtors, or any other acts or omissions by Laurus in connection with any of the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, or Laurus pre-petition relationship with the Debtors; (b) waive any and all claims, defenses (including, without limitation, offsets and counterclaims of any nature or kind) as to the validity, perfection, priority, enforceability, subordination and avoidability (under §§510, 544, 545, 547, 548, 550, 551, 552 or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) of the Pre-Petition Indebtedness and the security interests in and liens on the Pre-Petition Collateral in favor of Laurus; and (c) agree, without
28
further Court order and without the need for the filing of any proof of claim, to the allowance of the pre-petition claims of Laurus pursuant to §§ 502 and 506 of the Bankruptcy Code on account of the Pre-Petition Indebtedness, as fully secured claims.
24. No Liability to Third Parties. DTP Lender and Laurus shall not (i) have liability to any third party nor shall it be deemed to be in control of the operations of the Debtors or to be acting as a controlling person, responsible person or owner or operator with respect to the operation or management of the Debtors (as such terms, or any similar terms, are used in the Internal Revenue Code, the Unites States Comprehensive, Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act as amended, or any similar Federal or state statute), or owe any fiduciary duty to the Debtors, its creditors or its estate, and (ii) DIP Lender and Laurus relationship with the Debtors shall not constitute nor be deemed to constitute a joint venture or partnership with the Debtors.
25. Objections by Parties in Interest. Except as set forth below in this paragraph 25, all of the provisions of this Order shall be final and binding on the Debtors (including, without limitation, their successors and assigns), the Debtors shareholders, and all creditors and other parties in interest, including any Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 trustee hereinafter appointed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee shall have until October 15, 2008 (Objection Period), unless extended by written consent of Laurus and DIP Lender, to file, on behalf of the Debtors estates, and to serve upon counsel for Laurus, objections or complaints respecting (a) the claims, causes of actions and defenses released by the Debtors pursuant to ordering paragraph 23 above or (b) the validity, extent, priority, avoidability, or enforceability of the Pre-Petition Indebtedness, the Pre-Petition Liens in the Pre-Petition Collateral including, without limitation, to seek recharacterization, disgorgement (other than with
29
respect to the financing extended hereunder), reconciliation or to subordinate any liens or claims of Laurus under Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (the Challenge Rights). In the event that no objections or complaints are filed with this Court by the Committee and served upon counsel for Laurus within the time period set forth above, the provisions of this Order including, without limitation, paragraph 23 and the Debtors Stipulations in this Order shall become final and binding for all purposes and upon all parties. For purposes of this paragraph 25, a Chapter 7 trustee, as well as the Committee, shall be deemed a party-in-interest with requisite standing to assert the Challenge Rights in the manner set forth herein provided that the Objection Period has not expired, in which case such Challenge Rights shall terminate.
26. Effect of Modification of Order. The Debtors shall not, without DIP Lender or Laurus prior written consent (which shall be given or refused in their sole discretion), seek to modify, vacate or amend this Order or any DIP Loan Documents. If any of the provisions of this Order are hereafter modified, vacated or stayed by subsequent order of this or any other Court, such stay, modification or vacatur shall not affect the validity of any obligation outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of such stay, modification or vacation, or the validity and enforceability of any lien, priority, right, privilege or benefit authorized hereby with respect to any such obligations. Notwithstanding any such stay, modification or vacatur, any obligation outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of such modification, stay or vacatur shall be governed in all respects by the original provisions of this Order, and Laurus shall be entitled to all the rights, privileges and benefits, including, without limitation, the security interests and priorities granted herein, with respect to all such obligations.
30
27. Safe Harbor. The Court has considered and determined the matters addressed herein pursuant to its powers under the Bankruptcy Code, including the power to authorize the Debtors to obtain credit on the terms and conditions upon which the Debtors Laurus and DIP Lender have agreed. Thus, each of such terms and conditions constitutes a part of the authorization under § 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, and is, therefore, subject to the protections contained in § 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
