FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED SENIOR POST-PETITION CREDIT
AGREEMENT

This FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED SENIOR POST-PETITION CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of September 3, 2008, and entered into by and among Portola Packaging, Inc., as a debtor and debtor-in-possession, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), the lenders that are or hereafter become parties to this Agreement as “Lenders” (as such term is defined in subsection 11.1 hereof), and General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (in its individual capacity, “GE Capital”), as collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) and as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent” and, together with the Collateral Agent, each an “Agent”, and, collectively, the “Agents”) and amends and restates that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 16, 2004 (the “Pre-Petition Loan Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto, as lenders, GE Capital Markets Group, Inc., as syndication agent, and GE Capital, as Agent (as defined therein) (in such capacity, “Pre-Petition Agent”).

R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, on August 27, 2008, the Borrower and certain of the Guarantors (as hereinafter defined) commenced cases (each, a “Chapter 11 Case”, and, collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), and the Borrower and such Guarantors (collectively, the “Debtor Loan Parties”) have each retained possession of its assets and is each authorized under the Bankruptcy Code to continue the operation of its business as debtor-in-possession;

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Lenders are parties to the Pre-Petition Loan Agreement and the Borrower has requested that the Lenders amend and restate the terms of the Pre-Petition Loan Agreement in the manner and on the terms hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Pre-Petition Loan Agreement, the Borrower has requested the Lenders to make post-petition loans and advances to the Borrower consisting of a debtor-in-possession credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000 plus the Per Diem Amount, if any, at any time outstanding, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders are severally, and not jointly, willing to extend such credit to the Borrower under this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, Borrower, Lenders and Agents agree that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, subsection 7.1), the Pre-Petition Loan Agreement shall be amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

SECTION 1.

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF TERM LOANS

1.1 Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower contained herein:

(A) Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and subject to the Bankruptcy Court Orders, each Lender agrees to lend to Borrower on the Effective Date its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan by advancing to Borrower the amounts set forth opposite the name of each Lender on Schedule 1.1(A) (the “Term Loans”). The aggregate principal balance of the Term Loans shall be repaid in full on the Final Maturity Date. Term Loans borrowed and prepaid or repaid may not be reborrowed. The proceeds of any Term Loan hereunder may be used only for the purposes set forth in subsection 5.12.

(B) Notes. Upon request of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender a Note to evidence the Term Loans, such Note to be in the principal amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans. Whether or not any Note is issued, this Agreement is evidence of Borrower’s Obligations with respect to the Term Loans. In the event of an assignment under subsection 8.1, Borrower shall, upon surrender of the assigning Lender’s Notes, issue new Notes to reflect the interests of the assigning Lender and the Person to which interests are to be assigned.

(C) Funding Authorization. The proceeds of the Term Loans made pursuant to this Agreement are to be funded by Administrative Agent by wire transfer to the account designated by Borrower below:


		Bank:		Union Bank of California.
		ABA No.:		122 000 496
		Bank Address:		99 Almaden Blvd., Suite 200
				San Jose, California 95113
		Account No.:		6450-1-54944
		Reference:		Portola Packaging, Inc.

Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with written notice of any change in the foregoing instructions at least three (3) Business Days before the desired effective date of such change.

1.2 Interest and Related Fees.

(A) Interest. From the Effective Date and the date the other Obligations become due, the Term Loans and the other Obligations shall bear interest by reference to the Index Rate at the applicable rates set forth below. The Term Loans and all other Obligations shall bear interest at the sum of the Index Rate plus the Index Rate Margin.

(B) Computation of Interest and Related Fees. Interest on the Term Loans and other Obligations shall be calculated daily on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. Interest on the Term

Loans is payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month commencing on September 1, 2008, and on the maturity of the Term Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

(C) Default Rate of Interest. At the election of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it continues, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Term Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate that is two percent (2.0%) in excess of the rates otherwise payable under this Agreement.

(D) Excess Interest. (a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection 1.2(D) shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Administrative Agent’s option, (a) applied as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations or accrued and unpaid interest (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the interest rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) Borrower shall not have any action against Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligation shall remain at the Maximum Rate until each Lender shall have received the amount of interest that such Lender would have received during such period on such Obligation had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

1.3 Other Fees and Expenses.

(A) Audit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an audit fee equal to $900 per in-house auditor per day or any portion thereof, together with out-of-pocket expenses, or out-of-pocket costs (including fees and expenses) paid to third party auditors. Following the Effective Date and prior to a Default or an Event of Default, however, Administrative Agent shall be limited to one (1) such audit per country per fiscal year at Borrower’s expense.

(B) Expenses, Legal and Attorneys Fees. Borrower agrees to promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days following demand therefor, pay all (i) fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal and attorneys’ fees and expenses and appraisal fees and expenses (the “Professional Fees”) incurred by the Agents and the Lenders in connection with any matters contemplated by or arising out of the Loan Documents, in connection with the examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation, negotiation, closing and syndication of the

transactions contemplated herein and in connection with the continued administration of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, participation in the Chapter 11 Cases) including any amendments, modifications, consents and waivers; and (ii) out of pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders acting in any capacity (including, without limitation, Professional Fees) in connection with the preservation, enforcement or protection of any of their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise. Without limitation of the foregoing or any other provision of any Loan Document: (x) the Borrower agrees to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by any Agent or any Lender to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Agent and each Lender from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes, fees or impositions and (y) if the Borrower fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any Agent may itself perform or cause performance of such covenant or agreement, and the expenses of such Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be reimbursed promptly upon demand by the Borrower. All fees, costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under this subsection 1.3(B) shall be deemed part of the Obligations when incurred, payable in accordance with the final two sentences of subsection 1.4 and secured by the Collateral.

1.4 Payments. All payments by Borrower of the Obligations shall be made in US Dollars, in same day funds and delivered to the Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lenders, as applicable, by wire transfer to the following accounts or such other place within the United States as Administrative Agent may from time to time designate in writing:

ABA No. 021-001-033
Account Number 502-328-54
Bankers Trust Company
New York, New York
ACCOUNT NAME: GECC/CAF DEPOSITORY
Reference: GE Capital re Portola

Borrower shall receive credit on the day of receipt for funds received by Agent by 1:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time). In the absence of timely receipt, such funds shall be deemed to have been paid on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest and fees due hereunder.

1.5 Prepayments.

(A) Voluntary Prepayments of Term Loans. At any time, Borrower may prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Any such prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

(B) Prepayments from Asset Disposition. Immediately upon receipt of any Net Proceeds in excess of $250,000 for any single transaction or series of related transactions, Borrower shall repay the Term Loans by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds. Any such prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

(C) Prepayments from Issuance of Securities. Immediately upon the receipt by Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the proceeds of the issuance of capital stock or other equity securities (other than (1) proceeds of the issuance of capital stock or other equity securities by Borrower received on or before the Effective Date, (2) proceeds from the issuance of capital stock or other equity securities by Borrower to employees and directors of Borrower and (3) proceeds of the issuance of capital stock or other equity securities of Borrower which are contemporaneously applied to repurchase capital stock or other equity securities of Borrower from existing holder(s) thereof or which are held by Borrower in accordance with subsection 3.3(I) for the purpose of making Investments permitted under subsection 3.3(I)), Borrower shall repay the Term Loan in an amount equal to such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs associated therewith. Any such prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

(D) Amounts Prepaid May Not Be Reborrowed. Any amount prepaid pursuant to this subsection 1.5 may not be reborrowed.

1.6 Maturity. All of the Obligations shall become due and payable as otherwise set forth herein, but in any event all of the remaining Obligations shall become due and payable upon termination of this Agreement. Until all Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied, Collateral Agent shall be entitled to retain the Liens in the Collateral granted under the Security Documents and the ability to exercise all rights and remedies available to Agents and Lenders under the Loan Documents and applicable laws.

1.7 Loan Accounts. Administrative Agent will maintain separate loan account records for the Term Loans and all interest charges and payments thereof, (b) the charging and payment of all fees, costs and expenses relating to the Term Loans, and (c) all other debits and credits pursuant to this Agreement. The balance in the loan accounts shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Lenders, provided that any failure by Administrative Agent to so record shall not limit or affect Borrower’s obligation to pay. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to thereafter apply payments in any manner it deems appropriate.

1.8 Taxes.

(A) No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder or under the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, excluding such taxes to the extent imposed on any Agent ’s or a Lender’s net income by the jurisdiction in which such Agent or such Lender

is organized, resident or carrying on business. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Loan Document to any Lender or Agent , then (i) the sum payable hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings and deductions (including withholdings and deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this subsection 1.8), such Agent or Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(B) Changes in Tax Laws. In the event that, subsequent to the Effective Date, (1) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (2) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (3) compliance by any Agent or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority, agency or instrumentality:

(a) does or shall subject any Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever or causes the withdrawal or termination of a previously granted tax exemption with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Term Loans made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Agent or such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for net income taxes or capital taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state, provincial or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of any such Agent or Lender); or

(b) does or shall impose on any Agent or any Lender any other condition or increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or participations herein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Agent or Lender of continuing the Term Loans hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Agent or Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Agent or Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, as determined by such Agent or Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If any Agent or Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 1.8(B), it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which such Agent or Lender has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by any Agent or Lender to Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(C) Withholding. Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Foreign Lender”) as to which payments to be made in US Dollars under this Agreement or under the Notes are exempt from United States withholding tax or are subject to United States withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to Borrower and each Agent (1) a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or other applicable form, certificate or

document prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to such exemption or reduced rate of withholding with respect to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under this Agreement and under the Notes (a “Certificate of Exemption”) or (2) a letter from any such Foreign Lender stating that it is not entitled to any such exemption or reduced rate of withholding (a “Letter of Non-Exemption”). Prior to becoming a Lender under this Agreement and within fifteen (15) days after a reasonable written request of Borrower or any Agent from time to time thereafter, each Foreign Lender that becomes a Lender under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Exemption or a Letter of Non-Exemption to Borrower and Administrative Agent. If a Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption with respect to US Dollar payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under this Agreement (or to a reduced rate of withholding) and does not provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and Administrative Agent within the time periods set forth in the preceding paragraph, Borrower shall withhold taxes from payments to such Foreign Lender at the applicable statutory rates and Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts as a result of such withholding, provided that all such withholding shall cease upon delivery by such Foreign Lender of a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and Administrative Agent.

1.9 Intentionally Omitted.

1.10 Liability Unconditional.

Borrower hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to the Agents and the Lenders by Borrower. Borrower agrees that its liability shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

(A) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which Borrower is or may become a party;

(B) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by any Agent or the Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(C) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by any Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(D) the insolvency of Borrower; or

(E) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,

it being agreed by Borrower that its obligations as confirmed under this subsection 1.10 shall not be discharged until the payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred. Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel any Agent or any Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other party or

against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, Borrower. It is agreed among Borrower, Agents and the Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this subsection 1.10 and such waivers, each Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement.

SECTION 2.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Borrower covenants and agrees that until payment in full of all Obligations, Borrower shall perform and comply with, and shall cause each of the other Loan Parties to perform and comply with, all covenants in this Section 2 applicable to such Person.

2.1 Compliance With Laws and Contractual Obligations. Borrower will (a) comply with and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with (i) the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority (including, without limitation, laws, rules, regulations and orders relating to taxes, employer and employee contributions, securities, employee retirement and welfare benefits, environmental protection matters and employee health and safety) as now in effect and which may be imposed in the future in all jurisdictions in which Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries are now doing business or may hereafter be doing business and (ii) the obligations, covenants and conditions contained in all Contractual Obligations of Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, other than those laws, rules, regulations and orders and provisions of such Contractual Obligations the noncompliance with which could not be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) maintain or obtain and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain or obtain, all licenses, qualifications and permits now held or hereafter required to be held by Borrower and its Subsidiaries, for which the loss, suspension, revocation or failure to obtain or renew, could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. This subsection 2.1 shall not preclude Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from contesting any taxes or other payments, if they are being diligently contested in good faith in a manner which stays enforcement thereof and if appropriate expense provisions have been recorded in conformity with GAAP or to the extent that such compliance or payment or any enforcement action is stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases. Borrower represents and warrants that it (i) is in compliance and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority as now in effect other than those laws, rules, regulations, orders and provisions of such Contractual Obligations the noncompliance with which could not be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) maintains and each of its Subsidiaries maintains all licenses, qualifications and permits referred to above.

“Contractual Obligations,” as applied to any Person, means any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract, undertaking, agreement or other instrument to which that Person is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound or to which it or any of its properties is subject.

2.2 Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition all material properties used in the business of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, (a) public liability and property damage insurance with respect to its business and properties and the business and properties of its Restricted Subsidiaries against loss or damage of the kinds customarily carried or maintained by corporations of established reputation engaged in similar businesses and (b) flood hazard insurance on each Mortgaged Property that is located in a “special flood hazard area” (as defined in 12 CFR §22.2(k)), in each case in amounts acceptable to Administrative Agent and will deliver evidence thereof to Administrative Agent. Borrower will maintain business interruption insurance providing coverage for a period of at least six months and in an amount not less than $30,000,000. Borrower shall cause Administrative Agent, pursuant to endorsements and/or assignments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, to be named as lender’s loss payee in the case of casualty insurance, additional insured in the case of all liability insurance and assignee in the case of all business interruption insurance, in each case for the benefit of Agents and Lenders, but without liability for any premiums. All insurance policies shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent of any cancellations or reduction of coverage and that Administrative Agent may act as attorney for Borrower and Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries in obtaining, and at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, adjusting, settling, amending and canceling such insurance. Borrower represents and warrants that it and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries currently maintains all material properties as set forth above and maintains all insurance described above. In the event Borrower fails to provide Administrative Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect Administrative Agent’s interests in the Collateral. This insurance may, but need not, protect Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ interests. The coverage purchased by Administrative Agent may not pay any claim made by Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries or any claim that is made against Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the Collateral. Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Administrative Agent, but only after providing Administrative Agent with evidence that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Administrative Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and other charges imposed by Administrative Agent in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The cost of the insurance may be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Borrower is able to obtain on its own.

2.3 Inspection. Borrower shall permit any authorized representatives of Administrative Agent to visit and inspect any of the properties of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including its and their financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and business with its and their officers and certified public or chartered accountants, as applicable, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested. Representatives of each Lender will be permitted to accompany representatives of Administrative Agent during each visit, inspection and discussion referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

2.4 Organizational Existence. Except as otherwise permitted by subsection 3.6, Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its organizational existence and all rights and franchises material to its business.

2.5 Further Assurances.

(A) Subject to the terms of the Bankruptcy Court Orders (with respect to the Debtor Loan Parties), Borrower shall and shall cause each Loan Party to, from time to time, execute such guaranties, financing statements, documents, security agreements and reports as Agents or Requisite Lenders at any time may reasonably request to evidence, perfect or otherwise implement the guaranties and security for repayment of the Obligations contemplated by the Loan Documents.

(B) In the event any Loan Party acquires an interest in real property after the Effective Date, Borrower shall and shall cause each Loan Party to deliver to Collateral Agent a fully executed mortgage, deed of trust or hypothec, as applicable, over such real property in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent, together with such title insurance policies, surveys, appraisals, evidence of insurance, legal opinions, environmental assessments and other documents and certificates as shall be required by Collateral Agent and are consistent with requirements imposed with respect to real property interests of such Loan Parties at the Effective Date.

(C) Borrower shall cause each Person, upon its becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of Borrower, promptly to guaranty the Obligations and to grant to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Agents and Lenders, a Lien in the real, personal and mixed property of such Person to secure the Obligations. In addition, all of the capital stock of such Restricted Subsidiary shall be pledged to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Agents and Lenders. The documentation for such guaranty and security shall be substantially similar to the Loan Documents executed concurrently herewith with such modifications as are reasonably requested by Collateral Agent.

(D) The assurances contemplated by this Section 2.5 shall be given under applicable non-bankruptcy law (to the extent not inconsistent with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Court Orders) as well as the Bankruptcy Code, it being the intention of the parties that the Collateral Agent may request assurances under applicable non-bankruptcy law, and such request shall be complied with (if otherwise made in good faith by the Collateral Agent and to the extent not inconsistent with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Court Orders) whether or not the Bankruptcy Court Orders are in force and whether or not dismissal of any of the Chapter 11 Cases or any other action by the Bankruptcy Court is imminent, likely or threatened.

2.6 Holding Company. In the event that a majority of Borrower’s outstanding capital stock shall at any time be owned by a corporation or other entity (other than an individual) (a “Holding Company”), Borrower shall cause such Holding Company to guaranty the Obligations, to pledge to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Agents and the Lenders, all of the capital stock of Borrower owned by such Holding Company, and to grant to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Agents and the Lenders, a Lien in all of such Holding Company’s assets. In addition, if

any holding company is formed or acquired for the purpose of owning the stock of Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries, Borrower shall cause such holding company to guaranty the Obligations and to pledge to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Agents and the Lenders, all of the capital stock of such Restricted Subsidiaries.

2.7 Environmental Matters. Borrower shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to: (a) conduct its operations and keep and maintain its Real Estate in compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits other than noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) implement any and all investigation, remediation, removal and response actions that are appropriate or necessary to maintain the value and marketability of the Real Estate or to otherwise comply with Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits pertaining to the presence, generation, treatment, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release of any Hazardous Material on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate; (c) notify Administrative Agent promptly after Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person within its control becomes aware of any violation of Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or any Release on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any Real Estate that is reasonably likely to result in Environmental Liabilities to Borrower or its Subsidiaries in excess of $50,000; and (d) promptly forward to Administrative Agent a copy of any order, notice, request for information or any communication or report received by Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Person within its control in connection with any such violation or Release or any other matter relating to any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits that could reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities in excess of $50,000, in each case whether or not the Environmental Protection Agency or any governmental authority has taken or threatened any action in connection with any such violation, Release or other matter. If Administrative Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person under the control of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Liability arising thereunder, or a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, that, in each case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall, upon Administrative Agent’s written request (i) cause the performance of such environmental audits including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and preparation of such environmental reports, at Borrower’s expense, as Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, which shall be conducted by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, and (ii) permit Administrative Agent or its representatives to have access to all Real Estate for the purpose of conducting such environmental audits and testing as Administrative Agent deems appropriate, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater. Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for the costs of such audits and tests and the same will constitute a part of the Obligations secured hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will cause Tech Industries to report, to the extent required by and in accordance with the requirements of the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, elevated arsenic and TPH in ground water at Tech Industries’ facilities in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.

2.8 Compliance with Restructuring Support Agreement. The Borrower shall comply at all times with the provisions of the Restructuring Support Agreement.

2.9 New Subsidiaries. From and after the Effective Date, in connection with the acquisition of the Capital Stock of a Person that becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower or the formation of a new Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall cause such Person to guaranty the payment and performance of the Obligations when due and to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Agents and the Lenders as security therefor a security interest in and to and Lien on all of the property, assets or interests in property or assets of such Person and, in furtherance thereof, shall cause such Person to enter into a security agreement substantially similar to the Security Agreements, a guaranty substantially similar to the Guaranties and such additional security documents or instruments, together with such certificates, resolutions, opinions and the like, as may be requested by the Agents in their reasonable discretion.

disposition, including applicable taxes, if any), provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amount of such Investments so permitted be increased above the amounts specified in such clauses (G), (H) and (I), and (iii) in the case of an Investment made by issuing letters of credit (or reimbursement agreements in respect thereof), the aggregate amount of such Investments will be decreased by the amount remaining unpaid thereunder upon termination of Borrower’s obligations thereunder.

The amount of any Investment shall be the original cost of such Investment plus the cost of all additions thereto, without any adjustments for increases or decreases in value, or write-ups, write-downs or write-offs with respect to such Investment. The term “Investment” shall not include any guaranty of the Senior Notes or the Junior DIP Debt by any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries.

Each of the classifications of Contingent Obligations permitted to be incurred pursuant to subparts (A) through (M) hereof shall be deemed to be separate and independent of the other classifications and, in the event of any such Contingent Obligation meets the criteria of more than one of the classifications of Contingent Obligations described in subparts (A) through (M) permitted to be incurred hereunder, Borrower will only be required to include the amount and type of such Contingent Obligations in one of such classifications.

SECTION 8.

ASSIGNMENT; PARTICIPATION; AGENTS; ETC.

8.1 Assignments and Participations.

(A) Assignments. Each Lender may from time to time assign, subject to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement to another Person, provided that (i) other than any assignment to by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund in accordance with subsection 8.1(E) or to one or more other Lenders, such Lender shall first obtain the written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; (ii) the Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans being assigned shall in no event be less than the lesser of (a) $1,000,000 and (b) the entire amount of the Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender; and (iii) upon the consummation of each such assignment (other than any assignment to by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund in accordance with subsection 8.1(E) or to one or more other Lenders), the assigning Lender shall pay Administrative Agent an administrative fee of $3,500. The administrative fee referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence shall not apply to an assignment described in paragraph (E) below. In the case of an assignment authorized under this subsection 8.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were an initial Lender hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans or

assigned portion thereof. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a Lender hereunder.

(B) Recording of Assignments. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its office in Chicago, Illinois a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and principal amount of the Term Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Lender in the absence of manifest error. Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(C) Acceptance of Assignment by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and its assignee (together with the Notes subject to such assignment) and the administrative fee referred to above, Administrative Agent shall (subject to the consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment, if required) (1) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (2) record the information contained therein in the Register and replace Schedule 1.1(A) to reflect such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and (3) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders. Upon request by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to Administrative Agent Notes evidencing the Obligations owed by Borrower to the assignee and, if applicable, the assigning Lender, after giving effect to the assignment. Administrative Agent shall cancel the Notes delivered to it by the assigning Lender and deliver the new Notes to the assignee and, unless the assigning Lender has assigned all of its interests under this Agreement, the assigning Lender.

(D) Participations. Any Lender may sell participations in all or any part of its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans to another Person, provided that such Lender (excluding GE Capital) shall first obtain the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and any such participation shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000. All amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation and the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except action directly effecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount or interest rate payable with respect to the portion of the Term Loans in which such holder participates; (ii) any extension of the Final Maturity Date or the date fixed for any payment of interest payable with respect to the portion of the Term Loans in which such holder participates; or (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (except if the sale, disposition or release of such Collateral is permitted under subsection 3.7 or 8.2 or any other Loan Document). Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any participation will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the participant, and the participant shall for purposes of subsections 1.8, 8.4 and 9.1 be considered to be a Lender hereunder.

(E) Assignments to Affiliates. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time, following written notice to Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans to an Affiliate of such Lender

which is at least fifty percent (50%) owned by such Lender or its parent company, to one or more other Lenders or to a Related Fund. For purposes of this paragraph, a “Related Fund” shall mean, with respect to any Lender, a fund or other investment vehicle that invests in commercial loans and is managed by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

(F) Other Matters. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 8.1, no Lender shall, as between Borrower and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of a participation in, all or any part of the Term Loans, the Notes or other Obligations owed to such Lender. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to the provisions of subsection 9.13. Borrower agrees that it will use its best efforts to assist and cooperate with Administrative Agent and any Lender in any manner reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or such Lender to effect the sale of a participation or an assignment described above, including, without limitation, assistance in the preparation of appropriate disclosure documents or placement memoranda.

8.2 Administrative Agent.

(A) Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints GE Capital as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes GE Capital to execute and deliver the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of Lenders subject to the requirement that certain of Lenders’ consent be obtained in certain instances as provided in this subsection 8.2 and subsections 8.3 and 9.2. The provisions of this subsection 8.2 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any other Loan Party. Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through its agents or employees.

(B) Nature of Duties. The duties of Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower in connection with the extension of credit hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower, and Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than

as expressly required herein). If Administrative Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, then Administrative Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Requisite Lenders have instructed Administrative Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

(C) Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that Administrative Agent shall be liable to the extent of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Administrative Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account, but neither Administrative Agent nor any of its agents or representatives shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any Loan Party. Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the financial condition of any Loan Party, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from Requisite Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders and, notwithstanding the instructions of Requisite Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action exposes Administrative Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with subsection 8.2(E).

(D) Reliance. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written or oral notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this

Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and their duties hereunder or thereunder. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(E) Indemnification. Lenders will reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not reimbursed by Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent resulting from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Requisite Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished. The obligations of Lenders under this subsection 8.2(E) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(F) Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans made by it, GE Capital shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders” or “Requisite Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include GE Capital in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Requisite Lenders. GE Capital may lend money to, acquire equity or other ownership interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Loan Party as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent pursuant hereto.

(G) Successor Agent.

(1) Resignation. Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its agency functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower and the Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to clause (2) below or as otherwise provided below.

(2) Appointment of Successor. Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to clause (1) above, Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent which, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower. If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day period referred to in clause (1) above, the retiring Administrative Agent, upon notice to Borrower, shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(3) Successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this subsection 8.2 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.

(H) Collateral Matters.

(1) Release of Collateral. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon payment and satisfaction of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claims giving rise thereto have been asserted); (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if Borrower certifies to Collateral Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and Collateral Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property being sold or disposed of in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, or (iv) in accordance with the provisions of the next sentence. In addition, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, Collateral Agent may release any Lien granted to or held by Collateral Agent upon any Collateral having a book value not greater than ten percent (10%) of the total book value of all Collateral, either in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions; provided, however, that in no event will Collateral Agent, acting under the authority granted to it pursuant to this sentence, release Collateral having a total book value in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the book value of all Collateral, as determined by Collateral Agent, during any calendar year.

(2) Confirmation of Authority; Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by Lenders (as set forth in subsection 8.2(H)(1)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Collateral Agent or Borrower, the authority to release any Collateral conferred upon Collateral Agent under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection 8.2(H)(1). Upon receipt by Collateral Agent of any required confirmation from the Requisite Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Collateral Agent upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Loan Party, in respect of), all interests retained by any Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(3) Absence of Duty. Agents shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the property covered by the Security Documents exists or is owned by Borrower or any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Collateral Agent have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agents in this subsection 8.2(H) or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the property covered by the Security Documents or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in property covered by the Security Documents as one of the Lenders and that Agents shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders, provided that each Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account.

(4) Power of Attorney for Quebec Property. For the purpose of holding any security granted by any of the Loan Parties pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, Collateral Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney for all present and future Lenders. By executing an Assignment and Acceptance, any future Lender shall be deemed to ratify the power of attorney granted to Collateral Agent hereunder. Lenders and Loan Parties agree that notwithstanding Section 32 of the Act respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons (Quebec), Collateral Agent may, as the person holding the power of attorney of Lenders, acquire any debenture or other title of indebtedness secured by any hypothec granted by any Loan Party to Collateral Agent pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec.

(I) Agency for Perfection. Agents and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Collateral Agent’s Lien in assets which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction or any applicable Personal Property Legislation, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than Collateral Agent) obtain possession of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Collateral Agent or in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement or to realize upon any collateral security for the Term Loan unless instructed to do so by Collateral Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(J) Notice of Default. Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agents for the account of Lenders, unless any such Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The applicable Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice. The applicable Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Requisite Lenders in accordance with Section 6. Unless and until such Agent has received any such request, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders.

8.3 Amendments, Consents and Waivers.

(A) Except as otherwise provided in subsection 8.2, this subsection 8.3 or in subsection 9.2 and except as to matters set forth in other subsections hereof or in any other Loan Document as requiring only Administrative Agent’s consent, the consent of Requisite Lenders and Borrower will be required to amend, modify, terminate, or waive any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The consent of Borrower shall constitute consent of all of its Subsidiaries.

(B) In the event Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender and does not receive a written consent or denial thereof within ten (10) Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of such request, then such Lender will be deemed to have denied the giving of such consent.

8.4 Set Off and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, and subject to the requirements of the Interim Financing Order, during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to Borrower (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (A) balances held by such Lender at any of its offices for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower or its Subsidiaries), and (B) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations; except that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such amount so set off to the Agents for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

8.5 Payment of Interest to Lenders; Return of Payments.

(A) Calculation of Payment of Interest. For purposes of this subsection 8.5(A), the following terms and conditions will have the meanings indicated:

(a) “Daily Loan Balance” means an amount calculated as of the end of each calendar day by subtracting (i) the cumulative principal amount paid by Administrative Agent to a Lender on the Term Loans from the Effective Date through and including such calendar day, from (ii) the cumulative principal amount on the Term Loans advanced by such Lender to Administrative Agent through and including such calendar day.

(b) “Daily Interest Rate” means an amount calculated by dividing the interest rate payable to a Lender as of each calendar day by three hundred sixty (360).

(c) “Daily Interest Amount” means an amount calculated by multiplying the Daily Loan Balance of the Term Loans by the associated Daily Interest Rate on the Term Loans.

(d) “Interest Ratio” means a number calculated by dividing the total amount of the interest on the Term Loans received by Administrative Agent with respect to the immediately preceding month by the total amount of interest on the Term Loans due from Borrower during the immediately preceding month.

On the first (1st) Business Day of each month (“Interest Settlement Date”), Administrative Agent will advise each applicable Lender by telephone or telecopy of the amount of such Lender’s share of interest on the Term Loans as of the end of the last day of the immediately preceding month. Provided that such Lender has made all payments required to be made by it under this Agreement, Administrative Agent will pay to such Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender on the signature page of this Agreement or the applicable Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, as amended by such Lender from time to time after the date hereof pursuant to the notice provisions contained herein or in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance Agreement) not later than 3:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the next Business Day following the Interest Settlement Date, such Lender’s share of interest on the Term Loans. Such Lender’s share of interest on the Term Loans will be calculated by adding together the Daily Interest Amounts for each calendar day of the prior month for the Term Loans and multiplying the total thereof by the Interest Ratio for the Term Loans.

(B) Return of Payments.

(1) If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from Borrower and such related payment is not received by Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind together with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available by Administrative Agent to such Lender to but excluding the date of repayment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(2) If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any requirement of law, court order or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement, Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Administrative Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

SECTION 9.

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Indemnities. Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay, and hold each Agent, each Lender and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys (the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to such Indemnitees) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnitees being a party to this Agreement or the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement; provided that Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to liabilities to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction thereof which is permissible under applicable law.

Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall be construed to limit or affect the obligation of the Borrower or any other Person to serve upon the Agents and the Lenders in the manner prescribed by the Bankruptcy Code any pleading or notice required to be given to the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.

9.4 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Agents or any Lender to exercise, nor any partial exercise of, any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Documents shall impair such power, right, or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. All rights and remedies existing hereunder or under any other Loan Document are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

9.5 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes payment(s) or any Agent enforces its Liens or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment(s) or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid by anyone, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

9.6 Severability. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision under the Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the remaining provisions in the Loan Documents.

9.7 Lenders’ Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for any obligation of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in any Loan Document and no action taken by any Agent or any Lender pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.

9.8 Headings. Section and subsection headings are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purposes or be given substantive effect.

9.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any trustee succeeding to the rights of the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to any conversion to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code) except that Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of all Lenders.

9.11 No Fiduciary Relationship; Limited Liability. No provision in the Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing to Borrower by any Agent or any Lender. Borrower agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender shall have liability to Borrower or any other Person (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrower or any other Person in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless and to the extent that it is determined that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

9.19 Judgment Currency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of Borrower and any Loan Party in respect to any amount due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (the “Other Currency”) (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the currency in which it is due (the “Agreed Currency”) that Administrative Agent or any Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in the Other Currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately after the day on which Administrative Agent or such Lender receives the payment.
