Item 1.   Business
 
Our Company
 
Altra Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of Altra Industrial Motion, Inc., (“Altra Industrial”), and owns 100% of Altra Industrial’s outstanding capital stock. Altra Industrial, directly or indirectly, owns 100% of the capital stock of its 48 subsidiaries. The following chart illustrates a summary of our corporate structure:
 
(CHART)
 
We are a leading global designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of mechanical power transmission, or MPT, and motion control products serving customers in a diverse group of industries, including energy, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation, and turf and garden. Our product portfolio includes industrial clutches and brakes, enclosed gear drives, open gearing, belted drives, couplings, engineered bearing assemblies, linear components, electronic drives and other related products. Our products are used in a wide variety of high-volume manufacturing processes, where the reliability and accuracy of our products are critical in both avoiding costly down time and enhancing the overall efficiency of manufacturing operations. Our products are also used in non-manufacturing applications where product quality and reliability are especially critical, such as clutches and brakes for elevators and residential and commercial lawnmowers. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had net sales of $452.8 million and a net loss of $2.3 million.
 
We market our products under well recognized and established brands, many of which have been in existence for over 50 years. We believe many of our brands, when taken together with our brands in the same product category have achieved the number one or number two position in terms of consolidated market share and brand awareness in their respective product categories. Our products are either incorporated into products sold by original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, sold to end users directly or sold through industrial distributors.
 
We are led by a highly experienced management team that has established a proven track record of execution, successfully completing and integrating major strategic acquisitions and delivering significant growth in both revenue and profits. We employ a comprehensive business process called the Altra Business System, or ABS, which focuses on eliminating inefficiencies from every business process to improve quality, delivery and cost.

History and Acquisitions
 
Although we were incorporated in Delaware in 2004, much of our current business has its roots with the prior acquisition by Colfax Corporation, or Colfax, of the MPT group of Zurn Technologies, Inc. in December 1996. Colfax subsequently acquired Industrial Clutch Corp. in May 1997, Nuttall Gear Corp. in July 1997 and the Boston Gear and Delroyd Worm Gear brands in August 1997 as part of Colfax’s acquisition of Imo Industries, Inc. In February 2000, Colfax acquired Warner Electric, Inc., which sold products under the Warner Electric, Formsprag Clutch, Stieber and Wichita Clutch brands. Colfax formed Power Transmission Holding, LLC or “PTH” in June 2004 to serve as a holding company for all of these power transmission businesses. Boston Gear was established in 1877, Warner Electric, Inc. in 1927, and Wichita Clutch in 1949.
 
On November 30, 2004, we acquired our original core business through the acquisition of PTH from Colfax. We refer to this transaction as the PTH Acquisition.
 
On October 22, 2004, The Kilian Company, or Kilian, a company formed at the direction of Genstar Capital, the largest stockholder of Altra Holdings, acquired Kilian Manufacturing Corporation from Timken U.S. Corporation. At the completion of the PTH Acquisition, (i) all of the outstanding shares of Kilian capital stock were exchanged for shares of our capital stock and Kilian and its subsidiaries were transferred to Altra Industrial.
 
On February 10, 2006, we purchased all of the outstanding share capital of Hay Hall Ltd, or Hay Hall. Hay Hall was a UK-based holding company established in 1996 that was focused primarily on the manufacture of couplings and clutch brakes. Hay Hall consisted of five main businesses that were niche focused and had strong brand names and established reputations within their primary markets.
 
Through Hay Hall, we acquired 15 strong brands in complementary product lines, improved customer leverage and expanded geographic presence in over 11 countries. Hay Hall’s product offerings diversified our revenue base and strengthened our key product areas, such as electric clutches, brakes and couplings. Matrix International, Inertia Dynamics and Twiflex, three Hay Hall businesses, combined with Warner Electric, Wichita Clutch, Formsprag Clutch and Stieber, make the consolidated company one of the largest individual manufacturers of industrial clutches and brakes in the world.
 
On May 18, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Bear Linear Inc, or Warner Linear. Warner Linear manufactures high value-added linear actuators which are electromechanical power transmission devices designed to move and position loads linearly for mobile off-highway and industrial applications. Warner Linear’s product design and engineering expertise, coupled with our sourcing alliance with a low cost country manufacturer, were critical components in our strategic expansion into the motion control market.
 
On April 5, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of TB Wood’s Corporation, or TB Wood’s. TB Wood’s is an established designer, manufacturer and marketer of mechanical and electronic industrial power transmission products.
 
On October 5, 2007, we acquired substantially all of the assets of All Power Transmission Manufacturing, Inc., or All Power.

Divestitures
 
On December 31, 2007, we sold the TB Wood’s adjustable speed drives business or Electronics Division to Vacon, Inc. for $29.0 million. We sold the Electronics Division in order to continue our strategic focus on our core electro-mechanical power transmission business.
 
Initial Public Offering
 
In December 2006, the Company completed an initial public offering. The Company offered 3,333,334 of its own shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. In addition selling stockholders offered 6,666,666 shares of common stock. Proceeds to the Company after the underwriting discount were $41.9 million.
 
Secondary Public Offering
 
In June 2007, we completed a secondary public offering of 12,650,000 shares of our common stock, which included 1,650,000 sold as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their overallotment option in full at closing. We received proceeds of $48.9 million, net of issuance costs. In the offering, we sold 3,178,494 shares of common stock and certain selling stockholders sold 9,471,506 shares of common stock.
 
Our Industry
 
Based on industry data supplied by Penton Information Services, we estimate that industrial power transmission products generated sales in the United States of approximately $27 billion in 2009. These products are used to generate, transmit, control and transform mechanical energy. The industrial power transmission industry can be divided into three areas: mechanical power transmission, or MPT products; motors and generators; and adjustable speed drives. We compete primarily in the MPT area which, based on industry data, we estimate was a $12.8 billion market in the United States in 2009.
 
The global MPT market is highly fragmented, with over 1,000 small manufacturers. While smaller companies tend to focus on regional niche markets with narrow product lines, larger companies that generate annual sales of over $100 million generally offer a much broader range of products and have global capabilities. The industry’s customer base is broadly diversified across many sectors of the economy and typically places a premium on factors such as quality, reliability, availability and design and application engineering support. We believe the most successful industry participants are those that leverage their distribution network, their products’ reputations for quality and reliability and their service and technical support capabilities to maintain attractive margins on products and gain market share.
 
Our Strengths
 
Leading Market Shares and Brand Names.  We believe we hold the number one or number two market position in key products across many of our core platforms. We believe that over 50% of our sales from continuing operations are derived from products where we hold the number one or number two share and brand recognition, on a consolidated basis with our brands in the same product category, in the markets we serve. In addition, we have recently captured additional market share in several product lines due to our innovative product development efforts and exceptional customer service.
 
Customized, Engineered Products Serving Niche Markets.  We employ approximately 150 non-manufacturing engineers involved with product design, research and development, testing and technical customer support, and we often participate in lengthy design and qualification processes with our customers. Many of our product lines involve a large number of unique parts, are delivered in small order quantities with short lead times, and require varying levels of technical support and responsive customer service. As a result of these characteristics, as well as the essential nature of our products to the efficient operations of our customers, we generate a significant amount of recurring sales with repeat customers.
 
Significant Operating Leverage Driven by Disciplined Cost Reductions.  We have implemented a successful strategy to manage cost through the cycle with demonstrable results. Our disciplined cost saving

Table of Contents

initiatives have included workforce and payroll reductions, facility consolidations, and procurement savings. We estimate that we have realized net savings of approximately $59.0 million through December 2009. We estimate that, once volume returns to prior year levels, between $10.0 and $12.0 million of these savings will be permanent in nature, creating significant operating leverage and improving our cost position.
 
Aftermarket Sales Supported by Large Installed Base.  With a history dating back to 1857 with the formation of TB Wood’s, we believe we benefit from one of the largest installed customer bases in the industry. The moving, wearing nature of our products necessitates regular replacement and our large installed base of products generates significant aftermarket replacement demand. This has created a recurring revenue stream from a diversified group of end-user customers. For 2009, we estimate that approximately 41% of our revenues were derived from aftermarket sales.
 
Diversified End Markets.  Our revenue base has a balanced exposure across a diverse mix of end-user industries, including energy, food processing, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation, and turf and garden. We believe our diversified end markets insulate us from volatility in any single industry or type of end-user. In 2009, no single industry represented more than 9% of our total sales. In addition, we are geographically diversified with approximately 31% of our sales coming from outside North America during 2009.
 
Strong Relationships with Distributors and OEMs.  We have over 1,000 direct OEM customers and enjoy established, long-term relationships with the leading industrial MPT distributors, critical factors that contribute to our high base of recurring aftermarket revenues. We sell our products through more than 3,000 distributor outlets worldwide. We believe our scale, expansive product lines and end-user preference for our products make our product portfolio attractive to both large and multi-branch distributors, as well as regional and independent distributors in our industry.
 
Experienced, High-Caliber Management Team.  We are led by a highly experienced management team with over 250 years of cumulative industrial business experience and an average of 13 years with our companies. Our CEO, Carl Christenson, has over 28 years of experience in the MPT industry, while our CFO, Christian Storch, has approximately 22 years of experience. Our management team has established a proven track record of execution, successfully completing and integrating major strategic acquisitions and delivering significant growth and profitability.
 
The Altra Business System.  We benefit from an established culture of lean management emphasizing quality, delivery and cost through the ABS. ABS is at the core of our performance-driven culture and drives both our strategic development and operational improvements. We continually evaluate every aspect of our business to identify productivity improvements and cost savings.
 
Our Business Strategy
 
Our long-term strategy is to increase our sales through organic growth, expand our geographic reach and product offerings through strategic acquisitions and improve our profitability through cost reduction initiatives. In the near term, we are focused on cost reduction measures and working capital improvements. We seek to achieve these objectives through the following strategies:
 
Leverage Our Sales and Distribution Network.  We intend to continue to leverage our established, long-term relationships with the industry’s leading national and regional distributors to help maintain and grow our revenues. We seek to capitalize on customer brand preferences for our products to generate pull-through aftermarket demand from our distribution channel. We believe this strategy also allows our distributors to achieve higher profit margins, further enhancing our preferred position with them.
 
Focus our Strategic Marketing on New Growth Opportunities.  We intend to expand our emphasis on strategic marketing to focus on new growth opportunities in key end-user and OEM markets. Through a systematic process that leverages our core brands and products, we seek to identify attractive markets and product niches, collect customer and market data, identify market drivers, tailor product and service solutions to specific market and customer requirements, and deploy resources to gain market share and drive future sales growth.

Table of Contents

Accelerate New Product and Technology Development.  We focus on aggressively developing new products across our business in response to customer needs in various markets. Our extensive application-engineering know-how drives both new and repeat sales and we have an established history of innovation with over 250 granted patents and pending patent applications worldwide. In total, new products developed by us during the past three years generated approximately $58 million in revenues during 2009.
 
Capitalize on Growth and Sourcing Opportunities in the Asia-Pacific Market.  We intend to leverage our established sales offices in the Asia Pacific region and expand into regions where we currently do not have sales representation. We also intend to expand our manufacturing presence in Asia beyond our current plant in Shenzhen, China. During 2009, we sourced approximately 25% of our purchases from low-cost countries, resulting in average cost reductions of approximately 38% for these products. Within the next five years, we intend to utilize our sourcing office in Shanghai to significantly increase our current level of low-cost country sourced purchases. We may also consider additional opportunities to outsource some of our production from North American and Western European locations to Asia or lower cost regions.
 
Continue to Improve Operational and Manufacturing Efficiencies through ABS.  We believe we can continue to improve profitability through cost control, overhead rationalization, global process optimization, continued implementation of lean manufacturing techniques and strategic pricing initiatives. Our operating plan, based on manufacturing centers of excellence, provides additional opportunities to consolidate purchasing processes and reduce costs by sharing best practices across geographies and business lines.
 
Continue to Focus on Cost-Reduction Initiatives.  We intend to generate significant operating leverage by continuing to manage our business through the economic cycle. We continue to effect measures to reduce costs, including the timely implementation of workforce reduction and payroll savings initiatives, engaging the entire organization in pursuing procurement savings and other cost initiatives, and executing as many as six plant consolidations through mid-2010. As a result of these initiatives, at current volume levels, we have generated an estimated net annualized savings of approximately $76.5 million, $10.0 to $12.0 million of which we expect to be permanent in nature once volume returns to prior year levels. We expect these cost reductions will provide a competitive advantage as the industry rebounds.
 
Selectively Pursue Strategic Acquisitions that Complement Our Strong Platform.  While we have a successful track record of identifying, acquiring and integrating acquisitions, our current focus remains centered on cash generation and preservation. However, we believe that in the future there may be a number of attractive potential acquisition candidates, in part due to the fragmented nature of the industry. We plan to continue our disciplined pursuit of strategic acquisitions to strengthen our product portfolio, enhance our industry leadership, leverage fixed costs, expand our global footprint, and create value in products and markets that we know and understand.

Research and Development and Product Engineering
 
We closely integrate new product development with marketing, manufacturing and product engineering in meeting the needs of our customers. We have product engineering teams that work to enhance our existing products and develop new product applications for our growing base of customers that require custom solutions. We believe these capabilities provide a significant competitive advantage in the development of high quality industrial power transmission products. Our product engineering teams focus on:
 
  •       lowering the cost of manufacturing our existing products;
 
  •       redesigning existing product lines to increase their efficiency or enhance their performance; and
 
  •       developing new product applications.
 
Our continued investment in new product development is intended to help drive customer growth as we address key customer needs.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
We sell our products in over 70 countries to over 1,000 direct OEM customers and over 3,000 distributor outlets. We offer our products through our direct sales force comprised of 100 company-employed sales associates as well as independent sales representatives. Our worldwide sales and distribution presence enables us to provide timely and responsive support and service to our customers, many of which operate globally, and to capitalize on growth opportunities in both developed and emerging markets around the world.
 
We employ an integrated sales and marketing strategy concentrated on both key industries and individual product lines. We believe this dual vertical market and horizontal product approach distinguishes us in the marketplace allowing us to quickly identify trends and customer growth opportunities and deploy resources accordingly. Within our key industries, we market to OEMs, encouraging them to incorporate our products into their equipment designs, to distributors and to end-users, helping to foster brand preference. With this strategy, we are able to leverage our industry experience and product breadth to sell MPT and motion control solutions for a host of industrial applications.
 
Distribution
 
Our MPT components are either incorporated into end products sold by OEMs or sold through industrial distributors as aftermarket products to end users and smaller OEMs. We operate a geographically diversified business. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we derived approximately 69% of our net sales from customers in North America, 22% from customers in Europe and 9% from customers in Asia and the rest of the world. Our global customer base is served by an extensive global sales network comprised of our sales staff as well as our network of over 3,000 distributor outlets.
 
Rather than serving as passive conduits for delivery of product, our industrial distributors are active participants in influencing product purchasing decisions in the MPT industry. In addition, distributors play a critical role through stocking inventory of our products, which affects the accessibility of our products to


10


Table of Contents

aftermarket buyers. It is for this reason that distributor partner relationships are so critical to the success of the business. We enjoy strong established relationships with the leading distributors as well as a broad, diversified base of specialty and regional distributors.
 
Competition
 
We operate in highly fragmented and very competitive markets within the MPT market. Some of our competitors have achieved substantially more market penetration in certain of the markets in which we operate, such as helical gear drives and some of our competitors are larger than us and have greater financial and other resources. In particular, we compete with Emerson Power Transmission Manufacturing LP, Rexnord LLC., Regal-Beloit Corporation and Baldor Electric, Inc.. In addition, with respect to certain of our products, we compete with divisions of our OEM customers. Competition in our business lines is based on a number of considerations including quality, reliability, pricing, availability and design and application engineering support. Our customers increasingly demand a broad product range and we must continue to develop our expertise in order to manufacture and market these products successfully. To remain competitive, regular investment in manufacturing, customer service and support, marketing, sales, research and development and intellectual property protection is required. We may have to adjust the prices of some of our products to stay competitive. In addition, some of our larger, more sophisticated customers are attempting to reduce the number of vendors from which they purchase in order to increase their efficiency. There is substantial and continuing pressure on major OEMs and larger distributors to reduce costs, including the cost of products purchased from outside suppliers such as us. As a result of cost pressures from our customers, our ability to compete depends in part on our ability to generate production cost savings and, in turn, find reliable, cost-effective outside component suppliers or manufacturers for our products. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business — We operate in the highly competitive mechanical power transmission industry and if we are not able to compete successfully our business may be significantly harmed.”
 
Intellectual Property
 
We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyright, and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements, license arrangements, and domain name registrations to protect our intellectual property. We sell our products under a number of registered and unregistered trademarks, which we believe are widely recognized in the MPT industry. With the exception of Boston Gear, Warner Electric and TB Wood’s, we do not believe any single patent, trademark or trade name is material to our business as a whole. Any issued patents that cover our proprietary technology and any of our other intellectual property rights may not provide us with adequate protection or be commercially beneficial to us and, patents applied for, may not be issued. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability. Competitors may also be able to design around our patents. If we are unable to protect our patented technologies, our competitors could commercialize technologies or products which are substantially similar to ours.
 
With respect to proprietary know-how, we rely on trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions and on confidentiality agreements. Monitoring the unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and the steps we have taken may not prevent unauthorized use of our technology. The disclosure or misappropriation of our intellectual property could harm our ability to protect our rights and our competitive position.
 
Some of our registered and unregistered trademarks include: Warner Electric, Boston Gear, TB Wood’s, Kilian, Nuttall Gear, Ameridrives, Wichita Clutch, Formsprag, Bibby Transmissions, Stieber, Matrix, Inertia Dynamics, Twiflex, Industrial Clutch, Huco Dynatork, Marland, Delroyd, Warner Linear and Saftek.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2009, we had 2,613 full-time employees, of whom approximately 63% were located in North America, 22% in Europe, and 15% in Asia. 11% of our full-time factory North American employees are represented by labor unions. In addition, approximately 37 employees or 57% of our employees


11


Table of Contents

in our facility in Scotland are represented by a labor union. Additionally, approximately 49 employees in the TB Wood’s production facilities in Mexico are unionized under collective bargaining agreements that are subject to annual renewals. We are a party to four U.S. collective bargaining agreements. Three of the agreements will expire on August 2010, June 2011, and September 2011, respectively. With respect to the fourth collective bargaining agreement, we have entered into a plant closing agreement with labor union employees at our South Beloit Manufacturing facility. We expect the facility to close in the first quarter of 2010.
 
One of the four U.S. collective bargaining agreements contains provisions for additional, potentially significant, lump-sum severance payments to all employees covered by that agreement who are terminated as the result of a plant closing and one of our collective bargaining agreements contains provisions restricting our ability to terminate or relocate operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — We may be subject to work stoppages at our facilities, or our customers may be subjected to work stoppages, which could seriously impact our operations and the profitability of our business.”
 
Our European facilities have employees who are generally represented by local and national social works councils which are common in Europe. Social works councils meet with employer industry associations every two to three years to discuss employee wages and working conditions. Our facilities in France and Germany often participate in such discussions and adhere to any agreements reached.
 
Suppliers and Raw Materials
 
We obtain raw materials, component parts and supplies from a variety of sources, generally from more than one supplier. Our suppliers and sources of raw materials are based in both the United States and other countries and we believe that our sources of raw materials are adequate for our needs for the foreseeable future. We do not believe the loss of any one supplier would have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. Our principal raw materials are steel, castings and copper. We generally purchase our materials on the open market, where certain commodities such as steel and copper have fluctuated in price significantly in recent years. We have not experienced any significant shortage of our key materials and have not historically engaged in hedging transactions for commodity suppliers.
 
Seasonality
 
We experience seasonality in our turf and garden business, which in recent years has represented approximately 10% of our net sales. As our large OEM customers prepare for the spring season, our shipments generally start increasing in December, peak in February and March, and begin to decline in April and May. This allows our customers to have inventory in place for the peak consumer purchasing periods for turf and garden products. The June-through-November period is typically the low season for us and our customers in the turf and garden market. Seasonality is also affected by weather and the level of housing starts.
 
Regulation
 
We are subject to a variety of government laws and regulations that apply to companies engaged in international operations. These include compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.S. Department of Commerce export controls, local government regulations and procurement policies and practices (including regulations relating to import-export control, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings). We maintain controls and procedures to comply with laws and regulations associated with our international operations. In the event we are unable to remain compliant with such laws and regulations, our business may be adversely affected.
 
Environmental and Health and Safety Matters
 
We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local, foreign and provincial environmental laws and regulations, including those governing health and safety requirements, the discharge of pollutants into the air or water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the responsibility to investigate and cleanup contaminated sites that are or were owned, leased, operated or used by us or our predecessors.


12


Table of Contents

Some of these laws and regulations require us to obtain permits, which contain terms and conditions that impose limitations on our ability to emit and discharge hazardous materials into the environment and periodically may be subject to modification, renewal and revocation by issuing authorities. Fines and penalties may be imposed for non-compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and the failure to have or to comply with the terms and conditions of required permits. From time to time, our operations may not be in full compliance with the terms and conditions of our permits. We periodically review our procedures and policies for compliance with environmental laws and requirements. We believe that our operations generally are in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and requirements and that any non-compliance would not be expected to result in us incurring material liability or cost to achieve compliance. Historically, the costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with environmental laws and requirements have not been material.
 
Certain environmental laws in the United States, such as the federal Superfund law and similar state laws, impose liability for the cost of investigation or remediation of contaminated sites upon the current or, in some cases, the former site owners or operators and upon parties who arranged for the disposal of wastes or transported or sent those wastes to an off-site facility for treatment or disposal, regardless of when the release of hazardous substances occurred or the lawfulness of the activities giving rise to the release. Such liability can be imposed without regard to fault and, under certain circumstances, can be joint and several, resulting in one party being held responsible for the entire obligation. As a practical matter, however, the costs of investigation and remediation generally are allocated among the viable responsible parties on some form of equitable basis. Liability also may include damages to natural resources. We have not been notified that we are a potentially responsible party in connection with any sites we currently or formerly owned or operated or for liability at any off-site waste disposal facility.
 
However, there is contamination at some of our current facilities, primarily related to historical operations at those sites, for which we could be liable for the investigation and remediation under certain environmental laws. The potential for contamination also exists at other of our current or former sites, based on historical uses of those sites. We currently are not undertaking any remediation or investigations and our costs or liability in connection with potential contamination conditions at our facilities cannot be predicted at this time because the potential existence of contamination has not been investigated or not enough is known about the environmental conditions or likely remedial requirements. Currently, other parties with contractual liability are addressing or have plans or obligations to address those contamination conditions that may pose a material risk to human health, safety or the environment. In addition, while we attempt to evaluate the risk of liability associated with our facilities at the time we acquire them, there may be environmental conditions currently unknown to us relating to our prior, existing or future sites or operations or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities we may have assumed or acquired which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We are being indemnified, or expect to be indemnified by third parties subject to certain caps or limitations on the indemnification, for certain environmental costs and liabilities associated with certain owned or operated sites. Accordingly, based on the indemnification and the experience with similar sites of the environmental consultants who we have hired, we do not expect such costs and liabilities to have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or earnings. We cannot assure you, however, that those third parties will in fact satisfy their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to, or otherwise do not, comply with their respective indemnity obligations, or if certain contamination or other liability for which we are obligated is not subject to these indemnities, we could become subject to significant liabilities.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
We operate in the highly competitive mechanical power transmission industry and if we are not able to compete successfully our business may be significantly harmed.
 
We operate in highly fragmented and very competitive markets in the MPT industry. Some of our competitors have achieved substantially more market penetration in certain of the markets in which we operate, such as helical gear drives, and some of our competitors are larger than us and have greater financial and other resources. With respect to certain of our products, we compete with divisions of our OEM customers. Competition in our business lines is based on a number of considerations, including quality, reliability, pricing, availability, and design and application engineering support. Our customers increasingly demand a broad product range and we must continue to develop our expertise in order to manufacture and market these products successfully. To remain competitive, regular investment in manufacturing, customer service and support, marketing, sales, research and development and intellectual property protection is required. In the future we may not have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments and may not be able to maintain our competitive position within each of the markets we serve. We may have to adjust the prices of some of our products to stay competitive.
 
Additionally, some of our larger, more sophisticated customers are attempting to reduce the number of vendors from which they purchase in order to increase their efficiency. If we are not selected to become one of these preferred providers, we may lose market share in some of the markets in which we compete.
 
There is substantial and continuing pressure on major OEMs and larger distributors to reduce costs, including the cost of products purchased from outside suppliers. As a result of cost pressures from our customers, our ability to compete depends in part on our ability to generate production cost savings and, in turn, find reliable, cost effective outside suppliers to source components or manufacture our products. If we are unable to generate sufficient cost savings in the future to offset price reductions, then our gross margin could be materially adversely affected.
 
Changes in or the cyclical nature of our markets could harm our operations and financial performance.
 
Our financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on the U.S. and global economies in general. Some of the markets we serve are highly cyclical, such as the metals, mining, industrial equipment and energy markets. In addition, these markets may experience cyclical downturns. The present uncertain economic environment may have a significant adverse affect on business cycles in industries we serve as our customers may face significantly decreased sales and an inability to predict future demand. In such an adverse environment, expected cyclical activity or sales may not occur or may be delayed and may result in significant quarter-to-quarter variability in our performance. Any sustained weakness in demand, downturn or uncertainty in cyclical markets may reduce our sales and profitability.
 
We rely on independent distributors and the loss of these distributors could adversely affect our business.
 
In addition to our direct sales force and manufacturer sales representatives, we depend on the services of independent distributors to sell our products and provide service and aftermarket support to our customers. We support an extensive distribution network, with over 3,000 distributor locations worldwide. Rather than serving as passive conduits for delivery of product, our independent distributors are active participants in the overall competitive dynamics in the MPT industry. During the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 33% of our net sales from continuing operations were generated through independent distributors. In particular, sales through our largest distributor accounted for approximately 7% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009. Almost all of the distributors with whom we transact business offer competitive products and services to our customers. In addition, the distribution agreements we have are typically non-exclusive and cancelable by the distributor after a short notice period. The loss of any major distributor or a substantial number of smaller distributors or an increase in the distributors’ sales of our competitors’ products to our customers could materially reduce our sales and profits.

Table of Contents

We must continue to invest in new technologies and manufacturing techniques; however, our ability to develop or adapt to changing technology and manufacturing techniques is uncertain and our failure to do so could place us at a competitive disadvantage.
 
The successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to continuously invest in new technologies and manufacturing techniques to evolve our existing products and introduce new products to meet our customers’ needs in the industries we serve and want to serve. For example, motion control products offer more precise positioning and control compared to industrial clutches and brakes. If manufacturing processes are developed to make motion control products more price competitive and less complicated to operate, our customers may decrease their purchases of MPT products.
 
Our products are characterized by performance and specification requirements that mandate a high degree of manufacturing and engineering expertise. We believe that our customers rigorously evaluate their suppliers on the basis of a number of factors, including:
 
  •       product quality and availability;
 
  •       price competitiveness;
 
  •       technical expertise and development capability;
 
  •       reliability and timeliness of delivery;
 
  •       product design capability;
 
  •       manufacturing expertise; and
 
  •       sales support and customer service.
 
Our success depends on our ability to invest in new technologies and manufacturing techniques to continue to meet our customers’ changing demands with respect to the above factors. We may not be able to make required capital expenditures and, even if we do so, we may be unsuccessful in addressing technological advances or introducing new products necessary to remain competitive within our markets. Furthermore, our own technological developments may not be able to produce a sustainable competitive advantage. If we fail to successfully invest in improvements to our technology and manufacturing techniques, our business may be materially adversely affected.
 
Our operations are subject to international risks that could affect our operating results.
 
Our net sales outside North America represented approximately 31% of our total net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, we sell products to domestic customers for use in their products sold overseas. We also source a significant portion of our products and materials from overseas, a practice which is increasing. Our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally, and our future results could be materially adversely affected by a variety of factors, including:
 
  •       fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
  •       exchange rate controls;
 
  •       tariffs or other trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;
 
  •       potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws;
 
  •       interest rates;
 
  •       unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
 
  •       changes in foreign intellectual property law;
 
  •       differing labor regulations;
 
  •       requirements relating to withholding taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;


17


Table of Contents

  •       restrictions on our ability to own or operate subsidiaries, make investments or acquire new businesses in various jurisdictions;
 
  •       potential political instability and the actions of foreign governments; and
 
  •       restrictions on our ability to repatriate dividends from our subsidiaries.
 
As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. However, any of these factors could materially adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.
 
Our operations depend on production facilities throughout the world, many of which are located outside the United States and are subject to increased risks of disrupted production causing delays in shipments and loss of customers and revenue.
 
We operate businesses with manufacturing facilities worldwide, many of which are located outside the United States including in Canada, China, France, Germany, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Serving a global customer base requires that we place more production in emerging markets to capitalize on market opportunities and cost efficiencies. Our international production facilities and operations could be disrupted by a natural disaster, labor strike, war, political unrest, terrorist activity or public health concerns, particularly in emerging countries that are not well-equipped to handle such occurrences. Any production disruptions could materially adversely affect our business.
 
We rely on estimated forecasts of our OEM customers’ needs, and inaccuracies in such forecasts could materially adversely affect our business.
 
We generally sell our products pursuant to individual purchase orders instead of under long-term purchase commitments. Therefore, we rely on estimated demand forecasts, based upon input from our customers, to determine how much material to purchase and product to manufacture. Because our sales are based on purchase orders, our customers may cancel, delay or otherwise modify their purchase commitments with little or no consequence to them and with little or no notice to us. For these reasons, we generally have limited visibility regarding our customers’ actual product needs. The quantities or timing required by our customers for our products could vary significantly. Whether in response to changes affecting the industry or a customer’s specific business pressures, any cancellation, delay or other modification in our customers’ orders could significantly reduce our revenue, impact our working capital, cause our operating results to fluctuate from period to period and make it more difficult for us to predict our revenue. In the event of a cancellation or reduction of an order, we may not have enough time to reduce operating expenses to minimize the effect of the lost revenue on our business and we may purchase too much inventory and spend more capital than expected, which may materially adversely affect our business.
 
As a result of slowing global economic growth, the credit market crisis, declining consumer and business confidence, reduced levels of capital expenditures and other challenges currently affecting the global economy, our customers may experience deterioration of their businesses. In addition, due to an inability to predict the duration and severity of the current economic crisis, our customers may not be able to accurately estimate demand forecasts and may scale back orders in an abundance of caution. As a result, existing or potential customers may delay or cancel plans to purchase our products and may not be able to fulfill their obligations to us in a timely fashion. Such cancellations, reductions or inability to fulfill obligations could significantly reduce our revenue, impact our working capital, cause our operating results to fluctuate adversely from period to period and make it more difficult for us to predict our revenue.
 
The materials used to produce our products are subject to price fluctuations that could increase costs of production and adversely affect our profitability.
 
The materials used to produce our products, especially copper and steel, are sourced on a global or regional basis and the prices of those materials are susceptible to price fluctuations due to supply and demand

trends, transportation costs, government regulations and tariffs, changes in currency exchange rates, price controls, the economic climate and other unforeseen circumstances. From the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2009, the average price of copper and steel has increased approximately 141% and 27%, respectively. If we are unable to continue to pass a substantial portion of such price increases on to our customers on a timely basis, our future profitability may be materially adversely affected. In addition, passing through these costs to our customers may also limit our ability to increase our prices in the future.
 
We face potential product liability claims relating to products we manufacture or distribute, which could result in our having to expend significant time and expense to defend these claims and to pay material damages or settlement amounts.
 
We face a business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or other adverse effects. We currently have several product liability claims against us with respect to our products. Although we currently maintain product liability insurance coverage, we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, or obtain insurance that will provide adequate coverage against potential claims. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for long periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome. An unsuccessful product liability defense could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or our ability to make payments under our debt obligations when due. In addition, we believe our business depends on the strong brand reputation we have developed. In the event that our reputation is damaged, we may face difficulty in maintaining our pricing positions with respect to some of our products, which would reduce our sales and profitability.
 
We may be subject to work stoppages at our facilities, or our customers may be subjected to work stoppages, which could seriously impact our operations and the profitability of our business.
 
As of December 31, 2009, we had approximately 2,613 full time employees, of whom approximately 44% were employed outside the United States. Approximately 214 of our North American employees and 37 of our employees in Scotland are represented by labor unions. In addition, our employees in Europe are generally represented by local and national social works councils that hold discussions with employer industry associations regarding wage and work issues every two to three years. Our European facilities, particularly those in France and Germany, may participate in such discussions and be subject to any agreements reached with employees. Additionally, approximately 49 employees in the TB Wood’s production facilities in Mexico are unionized under collective bargaining agreements that are subject to annual renewals.
 
We are a party to four U.S. collective bargaining agreements. Three of the agreements will expire on August 2010, June 2011 and September 2011, respectively. We have entered into a plant closing agreement with labor union employees at our South Beloit manufacturing facility. We expect the facility to close in the first quarter of 2010. We may be unable to renew these agreements on terms that are satisfactory to us, if at all. In addition, one of our four U.S. collective bargaining agreements contains provisions for additional, potentially significant, lump-sum severance payments to all employees covered by the agreements who are terminated as the result of a plant closing and one of our collective bargaining agreements contains provisions restricting our ability to terminate or relocate operations.
 
If our unionized workers or those represented by a works council were to engage in a strike, work stoppage or other slowdown in the future, we could experience a significant disruption of our operations. Such disruption could interfere with our ability to deliver products on a timely basis and could have other negative effects, including decreased productivity and increased labor costs. In addition, if a greater percentage of our work force becomes unionized, our business and financial results could be materially adversely affected. Many of our direct and indirect customers have unionized work forces. Strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns experienced by these customers or their suppliers could result in slowdowns or closures of assembly plants where our products are used and could cause cancellation of purchase orders with us or otherwise result in reduced revenues from these customers.

Changes in employment laws could increase our costs and may adversely affect our business.
 
Various federal, state and international labor laws govern our relationship with employees and affect operating costs. These laws include minimum wage requirements, overtime, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates paid, leaves of absence, mandated health and other benefits, and citizenship requirements. Significant additional government-imposed increases or new requirements in these areas could materially affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow.
 
In the event our employee-related costs rise significantly, we may have to curtail the number of our employees or shut down certain manufacturing facilities. Any such actions would not only be costly but could also materially adversely affect our business.
 
We depend on the services of key executives, the loss of whom could materially harm our business.
 
Our senior executives are important to our success because they are instrumental in setting our strategic direction, operating our business, maintaining and expanding relationships with distributors, identifying, recruiting and training key personnel, identifying expansion opportunities and arranging necessary financing. Losing the services of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business until a suitable replacement could be found. We believe that our senior executives could not easily be replaced with executives of equal experience and capabilities. Although we have entered into employment agreements with certain of our key domestic executives, we cannot prevent our key executives from terminating their employment with us. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our executives.
 
If we lose certain of our key sales, marketing or engineering personnel, our business may be adversely affected.
 
Our success depends on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate highly skilled sales, marketing and engineering personnel. Competition for these persons in our industry is intense and we may not be able to successfully recruit, train or retain qualified personnel. If we fail to retain and recruit the necessary personnel, our business and our ability to obtain new customers, develop new products and provide acceptable levels of customer service could suffer. If certain of these key personnel were to terminate their employment with us, we may experience difficulty replacing them, and our business could be harmed.
 
We are subject to environmental laws that could impose significant costs on us and the failure to comply with such laws could subject us to sanctions and material fines and expenses.
 
We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local, foreign and provincial environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air or water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the responsibility to investigate and cleanup contaminated sites that are or were owned, leased, operated or used by us or our predecessors. Some of these laws and regulations require us to obtain permits, which contain terms and conditions that impose limitations on our ability to emit and discharge hazardous materials into the environment and periodically may be subject to modification, renewal and revocation by issuing authorities. Fines and penalties may be imposed for non-compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and the failure to have or to comply with the terms and conditions of required permits. From time to time, our operations may not be in full compliance with the terms and conditions of our permits. We periodically review our procedures and policies for compliance with environmental laws and requirements. We believe that our operations generally are in material compliance with applicable environmental laws, requirements and permits and that any lapses in compliance would not be expected to result in us incurring material liability or cost to achieve compliance. Historically, the costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with environmental laws, and requirements and permits have not been material; however, the operation of manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas, and a failure by us to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations, or permits could result in civil or criminal fines, penalties, enforcement actions, third party claims for property damage and personal injury, requirements to clean up property or to pay for the costs of cleanup, or regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, including the installation of pollution control

equipment or remedial actions. Moreover, if applicable environmental laws and regulations, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, become more stringent in the future, we could incur capital or operating costs beyond those currently anticipated.
 
Certain environmental laws in the United States, such as the federal Superfund law and similar state laws, impose liability for the cost of investigation or remediation of contaminated sites upon the current or, in some cases, the former site owners or operators and upon parties who arranged for the disposal of wastes or transported or sent those wastes to an off-site facility for treatment or disposal, regardless of when the release of hazardous substances occurred or the lawfulness of the activities giving rise to the release. Such liability can be imposed without regard to fault and, under certain circumstances, can be joint and several, resulting in one party being held responsible for the entire obligation. As a practical matter, however, the costs of investigation and remediation generally are allocated among the viable responsible parties on some form of equitable basis. Liability also may include damages to natural resources. We have not been notified that we are a potentially responsible party in connection with any sites we currently or formerly owned or operated any liabilities relating to any off-site waste disposal facility.
 
However, there is contamination at some of our current facilities, primarily related to historical operations at those sites, for which we could be liable for the investigation and remediation under certain environmental laws. The potential for contamination also exists at other of our current or former sites, based on historical uses of those sites. We currently are not undertaking any remediation or investigations and our costs or liability in connection with potential contamination conditions at our facilities cannot be predicted at this time because the potential existence of contamination has not been investigated or not enough is known about the environmental conditions or likely remedial requirements. Currently, other parties with contractual liability are addressing or have plans or obligations to address those contamination conditions that may pose a material risk to human health, safety or the environment. In addition, while we attempt to evaluate the risk of liability associated with our facilities at the time we acquire them, there may be environmental conditions currently unknown to us relating to our prior, existing or future sites or operations or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities we may have assumed or acquired which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We are being indemnified, or expect to be indemnified by third parties subject to certain caps or limitations on the indemnification, for certain environmental costs and liabilities associated with certain owned or operated sites. Accordingly, based on the indemnification and the experience with similar sites of the environmental consultants who we have hired, we do not expect such costs and liabilities to have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or earnings. We cannot assure you, however, that those third parties will in fact satisfy their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to, or otherwise do not, comply with their respective indemnity obligations, or if certain contamination or other liability for which we are obligated is not subject to these indemnities, we could become subject to significant liabilities.
 
We may face additional costs associated with our post-retirement and post-employment obligations to employees which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
 
As part of the acquisition of our original core business through the acquisition of PTH from Colfax Corporation, the PTH Acquisition, we agreed to assume pension plan liabilities for active U.S. employees under the Retirement Plan for Power Transmission Employees of Colfax and the Ameridrives International Pension Fund for Hourly Employees Represented by United Steelworkers of America, Local 3199-10, collectively referred to as the Prior Plans. We have established a defined benefit plan, the Altra Industrial Motion, Inc. Retirement Plan or New Plan, mirroring the benefits provided under the Prior Plans. The New Plan accepted a spin-off of assets and liabilities from the Prior Plans, in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, with such assets and liabilities relating to active U.S. employees as of the closing of the PTH Acquisition. Given the funded status of the Prior Plans and the asset allocation requirements of Code Section 414(l), liabilities under the New Plan greatly exceed the assets that were transferred from the Prior Plans. The accumulated benefit obligation (not including accumulated benefit obligations of non-U.S. pension plans in the amount of $3.3 million) was approximately $22.3 million as of December 31, 2009 while the fair value of plan assets was approximately $15.7 million as of December 31, 2009. As the New Plan has a considerable funding deficit, the cash funding requirements are expected to be


21


Table of Contents

substantial over the next several years, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. As of December 31, 2009, minimum funding requirements are estimated to be zero in 2010, $1.2 million in 2011, $1.2 million in 2012, $0.6 million in 2013, and $1.2 million in 2014. These amounts are based on actuarial assumptions and actual amounts could be materially different.
 
Additionally, as part of the PTH Acquisition, we agreed to assume all pension plan liabilities related to non-U.S. employees. The accumulated benefit obligations of non-U.S. pension plans were approximately $3.3 million as of December 31, 2009. There are no assets associated with these plans.
 
Finally, as part of the PTH Acquisition, we also agreed to assume all post-employment and post-retirement welfare benefit obligations with respect to active U.S. employees. The benefit obligation for post-retirement benefits, which are not funded, was approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2009.
 
For a description of the post-retirement and post-employment costs, see Note 9 to our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
 
Our future success depends on our ability to integrate acquired companies and manage our growth effectively.
 
Our growth through acquisitions has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational and financial resources. Realization of the benefits of acquisitions often requires integration of some or all of the acquired companies’ sales and marketing, distribution, manufacturing, engineering, finance and administrative organizations. Integration of companies demands substantial attention from senior management and the management of the acquired companies. In addition, we will continue to pursue new acquisitions, some of which could be material to our business if completed. We may not be able to integrate successfully our recent acquisitions, or any future acquisitions, operate these acquired companies profitably, or realize the potential benefits from these acquisitions.
 
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights, brands or technology effectively, which could allow competitors to duplicate or replicate our technology and could adversely affect our ability to compete.
 
We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as on license, non-disclosure, employee and consultant assignment and other agreements and domain names registrations in order to protect our proprietary technology and rights. Applications for protection of our intellectual property rights may not be allowed, and the rights, if granted, may not be maintained. In addition, third parties may infringe or challenge our intellectual property rights. In some cases, we rely on unpatented proprietary technology. It is possible that others will independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. In addition, in the ordinary course of our operations, we pursue potential claims from time to time relating to the protection of certain products and intellectual property rights, including with respect to some of our more profitable products. Such claims could be time consuming, expensive and divert resources. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies or proprietary protection of our brands, our ability to market or be competitive with respect to some or all of our products may be affected, which could reduce our sales and profitability.
 
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles comprises a significant portion of our total assets, and if we determine that goodwill has become impaired in the future, net income in such years may be materially and adversely affected.
 
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Due to the acquisitions we have completed historically, goodwill comprises a significant portion of our total assets. We review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles annually for impairment and any excess in carrying value over the estimated fair value is charged to the results of operations. Our prior review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles in December 2008 resulted in a $31.8 million reduction to the value of such assets in our financial statements. Future reviews of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles could result in further reductions. Any reduction in net income resulting from the write down or impairment of


22


Table of Contents

goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles could adversely affect our financial results. If economic conditions deteriorate we may be required to impair goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles in future periods.
 
Unplanned repairs or equipment outages could interrupt production and reduce income or cash flow.
 
Unplanned repairs or equipment outages, including those due to natural disasters, could result in the disruption of our manufacturing processes. Any interruption in our manufacturing processes would interrupt our production of products, reduce our income and cash flow and could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
 
Our operations are highly dependent on information technology infrastructure and failures could significantly affect our business.
 
We depend heavily on our information technology, or IT, infrastructure in order to achieve our business objectives. If we experience a problem that impairs this infrastructure, such as a computer virus, a problem with the functioning of an important IT application, or an intentional disruption of our IT systems by a third party, the resulting disruptions could impede our ability to record or process orders, manufacture and ship in a timely manner, or otherwise carry on our business in the ordinary course. Any such events could cause us to lose customers or revenue and could require us to incur significant expense to eliminate these problems and address related security concerns.
 
Our leverage could adversely affect our financial health and make us vulnerable to adverse economic and industry conditions.
 
We have incurred indebtedness that is substantial relative to our stockholders’ investment. As of December 31, 2009, we had approximately $220.3 million of indebtedness outstanding and $39.6 million available under lines of credit. Our indebtedness has important consequences; for example, it could:
 
  •       make it more challenging for us to obtain additional financing to fund our business strategy and acquisitions, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital;
 
  •       increase our vulnerability to interest rate changes and general adverse economic and industry conditions;
 
  •       require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to finance acquisitions and to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate activities;
 
  •       make it difficult for us to fulfill our obligations under our credit and other debt agreements;
 
  •       limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our markets; and
 
  •       place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that have less debt.
 
Substantially all of our assets have been pledged as collateral against any outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement governing Altra Industrial’s Senior Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial condition tests, which may require that we take action to reduce our debt or to act in a manner contrary to our business objectives. If an event of default were to occur under the Credit Agreements, then the lenders could declare all amounts outstanding under the senior revolving credit facility with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, our senior revolving credit facility and the indentures governing the 81/8% senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) have cross-default provisions such that a default under either one would constitute an event of default on the other.
 
The current economic conditions and severe tightening of credit markets may limit our access to additional capital. In particular, the cost of raising money in the credit markets has increased substantially while the availability of funds from those markets has diminished significantly. While currently these conditions have not impaired our ability to access capital under our credit facility and to finance our operations, there can be no


23


Table of Contents

assurance that there will not be a further deterioration in the credit markets, a deterioration in the financial condition of our lenders or their ability to fund their commitments or, if necessary, that we will be able to find replacement financing on similar or acceptable terms. An inability to access sufficient capital could have an adverse impact on our operations and thus on our operating results and financial position.
 
Our Senior Secured Notes impose significant operating and financial restrictions, which may prevent us from pursuing our business strategies or favorable business opportunities
 
Subject to a number of important exceptions, the indenture governing our Senior Secured Notes and Altra Industrial’s new senior secured credit facility may limit our and Altra Industrial’s ability to:
 
  •       incur more debt;
 
  •       pay dividends or make other distributions;
 
  •       redeem stock;
 
  •       issue stock of subsidiaries;
 
  •       make certain investments;
 
  •       create liens;
 
  •       reorganize our corporate structure;
 
  •       enter into transactions with affiliates;
 
  •       merge or consolidate; and
 
  •       transfer or sell assets.
 
The restrictions contained in the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes and Altra Industrial’s new senior secured credit facility may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interest of our business, and may make it difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. A breach of any of these covenants or the inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under the Senior Secured Notes, Altra Industrial’s new senior secured credit facility, or the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, as applicable. If any such default occurs, the lenders under Altra Industrial’s senior secured credit facility and the holders of our Senior Secured Notes may elect to declare all of their respective outstanding debt, together with accrued interest and other amounts payable thereunder, to be immediately due and payable. The lenders under Altra Industrial’s new senior secured credit facility also have the right in these circumstances to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings. In addition, following an event of default under Altra Industrial’s new senior secured credit facility, the lenders under the facility will have the right to proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the debt. If the debt under Altra Industrial’s new senior secured credit facility or the Senior Secured Notes were to be accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full the Senior Secured Notes and all of our other debt.
 
We are subject to tax laws and regulations in many jurisdictions and the inability to successfully defend claims from taxing authorities related to our current or acquired businesses could adversely affect our operating results and financial position.
 
We conduct business in many countries, which requires us to interpret the income tax laws and rulings in each of those taxing jurisdictions. Due to the subjectivity of tax laws between those jurisdictions as well as the subjectivity of factual interpretations, our estimates of income tax liabilities may differ from actual payments or assessments. Claims from taxing authorities related to these differences could have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial position.
 
Continued extreme volatility and disruption in global financial markets could significantly impact our customers, weaken the markets we serve and harm our operations and financial performance.
 
Our financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on the U.S. and global economies in general. As widely reported, U.S. and global financial markets have been experiencing extreme disruption recently, including, among other things, concerns regarding the stability and


24


Table of Contents

viability of major financial institutions, the declining state of the housing markets, a severe tightening in the credit markets, a low level of liquidity in many financial markets, and extreme volatility in credit and equity markets. Given the significance and widespread nature of these nearly unprecedented circumstances, the U.S. and global economies could remain significantly challenged in a recessionary state for an indeterminate period of time. While currently these conditions have not impaired our ability to access credit markets and finance our operations, there can be no assurance that there will not be a further deterioration in financial markets and confidence in major economies. In addition, the current tightening of credit in financial markets may adversely affect the ability of our customers to obtain financing for significant purchases and operations and could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products and services as well as impact the ability of our customers to make payments. Similarly, this tightening of credit may adversely affect our supplier base and increase the potential for one or more of our suppliers to experience financial distress or bankruptcy. These conditions would harm our business by adversely affecting our sales, results of operations, profitability, cash flows, financial condition and long-term anticipated growth rate.
 
We have taken, and continue to take, cost-reduction actions. Our ability to complete these actions and the impact of such actions on our business may be limited by a variety of factors. The cost-reduction actions, in turn, may expose us to additional production risk and have an adverse effect on our sales, profitability and ability to attract and retain employees.
 
We have been reducing our employee population, changing our compensation and benefit programs, and working to reduce our procurement costs. In addition, we also expect to consolidate certain of our manufacturing operations. The impact of these cost-reduction actions on our sales and profitability may be influenced by many factors including, but not limited to: (i) our ability to successfully complete these ongoing efforts; (ii) our ability to generate the level of cost savings we expect or that are necessary to enable us to effectively compete; (iii) delays in implementation of anticipated workforce reductions in highly-regulated locations outside the United States, particularly in Europe; (iv) decline in employee morale and the potential inability to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees; (v) our ability to retain or recruit key employees; and (vi) the adequacy of our manufacturing capacity. While we have business continuity and risk mitigation plans in place in case capacity is significantly reduced or eliminated at a given facility, the reduced number of alternative facilities could cause the duration of any manufacturing disruption to be longer. As a result, we could have difficulties fulfilling our orders and our sales and profits could decline.
 
If we are unable to successfully implement our new ERP system across the company or such implementation is delayed, our operations may be disrupted or become less efficient.
 
We have began the implementation for our operations worldwide of a new Enterprise Resource Planning system entitled “SAP,” with the aim of enabling management to achieve better control over the Company through: improved quality, reliability and timeliness of information; improved integration and visibility of information stemming from different management functions and countries; and optimization and global management of corporate processes The adoption of the new SAP system, which will replace the existing accounting and management systems, poses several challenges relating to, among other things, training of personnel, communication of new rules and procedures, changes in corporate culture, migration of data, and the potential instability of the new system. In order to mitigate the impact of such critical issues, the Company decided to implement the new SAP system on a step-by-step basis, both geographically and in terms of processes. As a result, we expect the system implementation process to continue for the next 2 to 2.5 years. However, there can be no assurance that the new SAP system will be successfully implemented and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Further, if implementation of the SAP system is delayed, we would continue to use our current system which may not be sufficient to support our planned operations and significant upgrades to the current system may be warranted or required to meet our business needs pending SAP implementation. However, there can be no assurance that the new SAP system will be successfully implemented and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

General
 
We are a leading global designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of MPT and motion control products with a presence in over 70 countries. Our global sales and marketing network includes over 1,000 direct OEM customers and over 3,000 distributor outlets. Our product portfolio includes industrial clutches and brakes, enclosed gear drives, open gearing, couplings, engineered bearing assemblies, linear components and other related products. Our products serve a wide variety of end markets including energy, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation and turf and garden. We primarily sell our products to a wide range of OEMs and through long-standing relationships with industrial distributors such as Motion Industries, Applied Industrial Technologies, Kaman Industrial Technologies and W.W. Grainger.
 
While the power transmission industry has undergone some consolidation, we estimate that in 2009 the top five broad-based MPT companies represented approximately 21% of the U.S. power transmission market. The remainder of the power transmission industry remains fragmented with many small and family-owned companies that cater to a specific market niche often due to their narrow product offerings. We believe that consolidation in our industry will continue because of the increasing demand for global distribution channels, broader product mixes and better brand recognition to compete in this industry.
 
Business Outlook
 
Our future financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on the U.S. and global economies in general. During November and December 2008, we saw a significant change in economic conditions both in North America and internationally as most of our end markets experienced dramatic downturns. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we began to see several of our distributors and OEM customers implement inventory reduction programs which continued throughout the first two quarters of 2009. By the end of 2009, it appeared that inventory reduction efforts by our customers began to come to an end as sales to our largest distribution customers improved during the later part of the year.
 
In response to the continued challenging economic conditions of 2009, we took swift and aggressive actions to reduce our expenses and maximize near-term profitability. Our cost-reduction initiatives are centered on three areas: workforce cutbacks, plant consolidations and procurement and other cost reductions. During 2009, we implemented a temporary suspension of our Company contributions to our 401(k) plan, a general hiring freeze, a freeze of all non-union employee salaries and reduced work schedules. During 2009, we incurred $7.3 million of restructuring expense including a $2.5 million non-cash charge primarily related to impairment charges at the Mount Pleasant facility, that closed in 2009 and the South Beloit facility which is expected to have completed the transfer of its manufacturing operations in the first quarter of 2010. The remaining expense relates mainly to severance and moving and relocation costs. We expect to incur between an additional $2.0 and $3.0 million of expenses associated with workforce reduction and consolidation of facilities in 2010. Beginning in 2010, we expect to see annualized savings from our procurement savings, the headcount reductions and consolidation of facilities of approximately $76.5 million. Savings in 2009 were approximately $59.0 million related to these efforts. We estimate that once volume returns to prior year levels, between $10.0 and $12.0 million of these savings will be permanent in nature. In 2010, we expect to return to growth activities but will continue to focus on generating cash flow, executing on plant consolidations, and maintaining a reduced cost base.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. Our estimates are based upon historical experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our experience and assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.


33


Table of Contents

Actual results may vary from what our management anticipates and different assumptions or estimates about the future could change our reported results.
 
We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in that they are important to the financial statements and they require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of the financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition.  Product revenues are recognized, net of sales tax collected, at the time title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment to the customer. Amounts billed for shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. Product return reserves are accrued at the time of sale based on the historical relationship between shipments and returns, and are recorded as a reduction of net sales. Certain large distribution customers receive quantity discounts which are recognized net at the time the sale is recorded.
 
Inventory.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for all of our subsidiaries except TB Wood’s. TB Wood’s inventory is stated at the lower of current cost or market, principally using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Inventory stated using the LIFO method approximates 13% of total inventory. We state inventories acquired by us through acquisitions at their fair values at the date of acquisition as determined by us based on the replacement cost of raw materials, the sales price of the finished goods less an appropriate amount representing the expected profitability from selling efforts, and for work-in-process the sales price of the finished goods less an appropriate amount representing the expected profitability from selling efforts and costs to complete.
 
We periodically review our quantities of inventories on hand and compare these amounts to the historical and expected usage of each particular product or product line. We record as a charge to cost of sales any amounts required to reduce the carrying value of inventories to net realizable value.
 
Retirement Benefits.  Obligations for pension obligations and other post retirement benefits are actuarially determined and are affected by several assumptions, including the discount rate, assumed annual rates of return on plan assets, mortality rates and per capita cost of covered health care benefits. Changes to the discount rate and mortality rate judgments could affect the estimated fair value of the projected benefit obligation. A decrease of 50 basis points in our discount rate assumption would result in an increase of $1.2 million in our projected benefit obligation. An average increase in the average life expectancy assumption of two years would result in an increase of $0.8 million in the pension projected benefit obligation.
 
Goodwill, Intangibles and other long-lived assets.  In connection with our acquisitions, goodwill and intangible assets were identified and recorded at their fair value. We recorded intangible assets for customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, product technology, patents and goodwill. In valuing the customer relationships, trade names, and trademarks, we utilized variations of the income approach. The income approach was considered the most appropriate valuation technique because the inherent value of these assets is their ability to generate current and future income. The income approach relies on historical financial and qualitative information, as well as assumptions and estimates for projected financial information. Projected financial information is subject to risk if our estimates are incorrect. The most significant estimate relates to our projected revenues and profitability. If we do not meet the projected revenues and profitability used in the valuation calculations then the intangible assets could be impaired. In determining the value of customer relationships, we reviewed historical customer attrition rates which were determined to be approximately 5% per year. Most of our customers tend to be long-term customers with very little turnover. While we do not typically have long-term contracts with customers, we have established long-term relationships with customers which make it difficult for competitors to displace us. Additionally, we assessed historical revenue growth within our industry and customers’ industries in determining the value of customer relationships. The value of our customer relationships intangible asset could become impaired if future results differ significantly from any of the underlying assumptions. This could include a higher customer attrition rate or a change in industry trends such as the use of long-term contracts which we may not be able to obtain successfully. Customer relationships and product technology and patents are considered finite-lived assets, with estimated lives ranging from 8 years to 16 years. The estimated lives were determined by calculating the number of years necessary to obtain 95% of the value of the discounted cash flows of the respective intangible asset. Goodwill and trade names and trademarks are considered indefinite lived assets. Trade names and trademarks were determined to


34


Table of Contents

be indefinite lived assets. Other intangible assets include trade names and trademarks that identify us and differentiate us from competitors, and therefore competition does not limit the useful life of these assets. Additionally, we believe that our trade names and trademarks will continue to generate product sales for an indefinite period.
 
As of December 31, 2008, goodwill was allocated to each of the twenty reporting units we had identified at that time. We conducted an annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2008 at each of these reporting units.
 
The breakdown of reporting units identified as of December 31, 2008 by acquisition and acquisition dates are as follows:
 
     
Colfax acquisition — November 30, 2004
  12 reporting units
Hay Hall acquisition — February 10, 2006
  5 reporting units (including Huco)
Warner Linear acquisition — May 18, 2006
  1 reporting unit
TB Wood’s acquisition — April 5, 2007
  1 reporting unit
All Power Transmission — October 5, 2007
  1 reporting unit
 
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, almost all of our reporting units were impacted by the general economic decline. The decline in our weekly order rates was significant and almost immediate. Continuation of the significant decrease in order rates in the final weeks of 2008 and into 2009 was a key assumption when developing our long-term revenue and profitability plan for our goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2009. All of our reporting units assumed significantly lower sales and lower profitability for 2009 in their long-term growth plan when compared to the forecast used in the goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2008. The discount rate was not changed significantly from the December 31, 2008 goodwill impairment analysis.
 
As a result of the December 31, 2008 goodwill impairment analysis, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $31.8 million at the TB Wood’s, Huco and Warner Linear reporting units. The goodwill remaining at these reporting units, after the adjustment for goodwill impairments, was $23.3 million at TB Wood’s and there was no goodwill remaining at either Warner Linear or Huco. Due to prevailing market conditions at the time of the acquisitions of these three reporting units, the purchase price paid as consideration for these three acquisitions required a higher premium when compared to the prior 2004 Colfax acquisition and therefore created higher goodwill at these reporting units.
 
During 2009, the Company appointed a new Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and went through an extensive restructuring plan. As a result of the change in the CODM and our restructuring activities, we re-evaluated our operating segments and reporting unit structure. We identified five operating segments and concluded that the five operating segments can be aggregated into one reportable segment. We also identified twenty-one reporting units. Our reporting units have common manufacturing and production processes. Each unit includes a machine shop which uses similar equipment and manufacturing techniques. Each of our segments uses common raw materials, such as aluminum, steel and copper. The materials are purchased and procurement contracts are negotiated by one global purchasing function. Based on similar long-term average gross profit margins and the fact that all of our products are sold by one global sales force and are marketed by one global marketing function, we haveconcluded that the reporting units could be aggregated into five reporting units when performing the goodwill impairment analysis.
 
In both 2008 and 2009, as part of the annual goodwill impairment assessment we estimated the fair value of each of our reporting units using an income approach. We forecasted future cash flows by reporting unit for each of the next five years and applied a long term growth rate to the final year of forecasted cash flows. The cash flows were then discounted using our estimated discount rate. The forecasts of revenue and profitability growth for use in the long-range plan and the discount rate were the key assumptions in our intangible fair value analysis. The following are the assumptions used in 2008 in the calculation of estimated fair value for the reporting units that recorded a goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2008 (Huco, Warner Linear and TB Wood’s).

We review the difference between the estimated fair value and net book value of each reporting unit. If the difference is less than $1.0 million, the reporting unit could be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment assessment in future periods if the estimated profitability decreased 10% when compared to our forecasts. As of December 31, 2009, each of our reporting units had estimated fair values that were at least $1.0 million greater than the net book value.
 
We considered whether the sum of the fair value of all of our reporting units was reasonable when compared to our market capitalization on the date of the goodwill impairment analysis. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, our estimated enterprise fair value was $413.6 million and $274.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, our market capitalization was $328.8 million and $208.7 million, respectively. The difference between the fair value of the enterprise and our market capitalization represented a control market premium of between 25% and 35%. We determined that a control market premium of between 25% and 35% was appropriate based on historical experience with purchase and sales transactions, the historical market trends based on our industry and the control market premium paid in relation to these transactions.
 
Management believes the preparation of revenue and profitability growth rates for use in the long-range plan and the discount rate requires significant use of judgment. If any of our aggregated reporting units do not meet our current year forecasted revenue and/or profitability estimates, we could be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis in future periods. In addition, if our discount rate increases, we could be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. We performed a sensitivity analysis on the estimated fair value of our reporting units by decreasing profitability by 5%, 10% and 15% leaving all other assumptions constant and increasing the discount rate by 5% and 10% leaving all other assumptions constant. We did not identify any reporting units that would be required to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis.
 
For our indefinite lived intangible assets, mainly trademarks, we estimated the fair value first by estimating the total revenue attributable to the trademarks for each of the reporting units. Second, we estimated an appropriate royalty rate using the return on assets method by estimating the required financial return on our assets, excluding trademarks, less the overall return generated by our total asset base. The return as a percentage of revenue provides an indication of our royalty rate (between 1.5% and 2%). We compared the estimated fair value of our trademarks with the carrying value of the trademarks and did not identify any impairment.
 
Long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recovered. Long-lived assets are considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its remaining useful life. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, and is charged to results of operations at that time. We did not identify any events or circumstances that would indicate the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recovered.
 
In 2008, a goodwill impairment was identified and recorded at three reporting units which, in turn, triggered an impairment analysis with respect to long-lived assets at those reporting units. For our definite

36


Table of Contents

lived intangible assets, mainly customer relationships, we estimated the future cash flows using the excess earnings method, a derivation of the discounted cash flow method. We estimated total revenue attributable to existing customer relationships and projected customer revenue growth for the remainder of the projection period. Existing customer revenue was then multiplied by an attrition curve based on our historical attrition rates percent (approximately 4%) for each reporting unit. We estimated profitability for the customer relationship based on the overall reporting unit’s profitability. We compared the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the customer relationship for each reporting unit and did not identify any impairment.
 
In 2009, the Company did not identify any impairments related to goodwill, definite lived intangible assets or indefinite lived intangible assets.
 
Income Taxes.  We record income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We evaluate the realizability of our net deferred tax assets and assess the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. The future benefit to be derived from our deferred tax assets is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the assets. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount that may be more likely than not to be realized. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance, an expense will be recorded within the provision for income taxes line on the statement of operations. In periods subsequent to establishing a valuation allowance, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our net deferred tax assets in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense in the period such determination was made.

Net sales The decrease in sales was almost exclusively due to overall economic decline which has impacted all of our end markets and industries. All of our operating segments saw double digit decreases in sales during 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2009, we began to see modest increases in our order rates, mainly related to our distribution customers, but until worldwide economic conditions improve, we expect continued weakness in our order rates. If the 2009 foreign exchange rates had remained constant when compared to 2008, sales would have decreased $163.6 million or 25.8%.

Gross profit.  The decrease in gross profit was due to the significant decrease in sales. We have taken aggressive actions, including workforce and payroll reductions, facility consolidations and procurement savings to reduce our expenses and maximize near-term profitability. If our sales volume improves in 2010, we expect

to see an improvement in our gross profit in 2010. If the 2009 foreign exchange rates had remained constant when compared to 2008, gross profit would have decreased $56.2 million or 30.2%. Our Gearings and Belted Drives operating segment’s gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 5.3% in 2009 when compared to 2008. Gearings and Belted Drives sells into early cycle markets and began to see a large decrease in sales in November 2008. The decrease in sales volume impacted the Gearings and Belted Drives operating segment for almost all of 2009 and impacted that operating segment’s profitability. Our two operating segments that sell into late cycle markets, Global Couplings and Heavy Duty Clutch Brake, did not see a decrease in gross profit percentages in 2009 when compared to 2008. These two operating segments were not impacted by the global economic downturn until the middle of 2009. We expect the Global Couplings and Heavy Duty Clutch Brake operating segments to see decreased profit margins in 2010 when compared to 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  The decrease in SG&A was due to our cost reduction efforts which began in the fourth quarter of 2008. Our cost reduction efforts were focused on headcount reductions and the elimination of non-critical expenses which decreased our overall SG&A costs. As a result of decreased sales volume, we have seen a reduction in outside sales representative commission costs. In addition, during the year, we required certain U.S. personnel to take furloughs. Also, we suspended the Company’s 401(k) match and Company contributions and also temporarily reduced wages for the executive management team and fees for the Board of Directors. However, due to the significant decrease in sales, SG&A as a percent of sales increased despite our cost reduction efforts.

In 2008, the Company recorded $5.0 million of foreign exchange gains due to the significant strengthening of the U.S. Dollar when compared to the British Pound Sterling, Euro and Canadian Dollar. During 2008, we recorded rental income of $0.6 million for facility rentals under lease agreements which were part of the sale of TB Wood’s Electronics Division and have a term of two years, with annual extensions thereafter at the lessee’s, or the Company’s option. In addition, we received $0.3 million in securities as part of a bankruptcy settlement

Interest expense.  Net interest expense increased primarily due to the redemption of our 9% Senior Secured Notes for which we incurred a $5.3 million prepayment premium compared to $1.1 million in 2008. In addition, we wrote off all unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discount of $5.8 million in 2009 compared to $2.8 million in 2008. These amounts were offset by lower interest expense due to lower average outstanding borrowings in 2009 as compared to previous periods For a more detailed description of the redemption of the 9% Senior Secured Notes and the pay down of the 11.25% Senior Notes, please see Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.
 
Goodwill impairment.  In 2008, we performed our annual impairment review of goodwill and identified a goodwill impairment of $31.8 million. We did not identify a goodwill impairment during our annual impairment review in 2009. If market conditions deteriorate in 2010, we may be required to take impairment charges in future periods.

Restructuring Expense

Restructuring.  During 2007, we adopted two restructuring programs. The first was intended to improve operational efficiency by reducing headcount, consolidating our operating facilities and relocating manufacturing to lower cost areas (the “Altra Plan”). The second was related to the acquisition of TB Wood’s and was intended to reduce duplicative staffing and consolidate facilities (the “TB Wood’s Plan”). We recorded approximately $2.3 million of restructuring expenses in 2008 for moving and relocation, severance and non-cash asset impairment. There were no costs related to the Altra Plan or the TB Wood’s Plan incurred in 2009.
 
In March 2009, we adopted a new restructuring plan (the “2009 Altra Plan”) to improve the utilization of our manufacturing infrastructure and to realign our business with the current economic conditions. The 2009 Altra Plan was intended to improve operational efficiency by reducing headcount and consolidating certain facilities. During 2009, we recorded $7.3 million of restructuring expenses, of which $4.2 million was related to severance, $0.6 million was related to other restructuring charges (primarily moving and relocation costs), and $2.5 million was non-cash impairment charges. We expect to incur between an additional $2.0 and $3.0 million of expenses associated with workforce reduction and consolidation of facilities in 2010. Beginning in 2010, we expect to see annualized savings from the headcount reductions and consolidation of facilities of approximately $52 million.
 
Other post employment benefit plan settlement gain.  In March 2009, we reached a new collective bargaining agreement with the union at our Erie, Pennsylvania facility. One of the provisions of the new agreement eliminated the benefits that employees were entitled to receive through the existing other post employment benefit plan (“OPEB”). OPEB benefits will no longer be available for retired and active employees. This resulted in a non-cash OPEB settlement gain of $1.5 million in 2009.
 
Loss on disposal of assets.  During 2009, we entered into a lease agreement at a new facility in China. As of December 31, 2009, we have exited our previous facility and moved into the new location. We recorded a loss of $0.3 million to dispose of the leasehold improvements associated with the old location.

Additionally, the benefit further increased as a result of changing certain tax elections during 2009 and amending certain prior year returns to reflect those election changes. This benefit was partially offset by the establishment of reserves for uncertain tax positions and interest expense on previously reserved

Net sales.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, net sales increased $51.0 million compared to 2007. The increase is primarily due to the 2007 acquisitions of TB Wood’s and All Power, which contributed $31.7 million, price increases which contributed $13.0 million, strong after market sales, market share gains, the strength of several key markets, including energy and primary metals. During 2008, the price increases resulting from material cost increases (primarily copper and steel) were across all product lines and impacted all markets served. If the 2008 foreign exchange rates had remained constant when compared to 2007, sales would have increased $50.4 million. During the first nine months of 2008, sales would have increased $57.0 million or if the 2008 foreign exchange rates had remained constant when compared to 2007. If the 2008 foreign exchange rates had remained constant when compared to 2007, sales would have increased $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. During November and December of 2008, we saw a significant change in economic conditions both in North America and internationally as most of our end markets experienced dramatic downturns, as a result, our fourth quarter sales would have been relatively flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, if the 2008 foreign exchange rates had remained constant when compared to 2007.

Gross profit.  In 2008 gross profit increased $20.8 million compared to 2007. The increase is primarily related to the 2007 acquisitions of TB Wood’s and All Power, which added incremental gross profit of $8.2 million in 2008. Gross profit of other operations also increased due to price increases which contributed $13.0 million, an increase in low cost country material sourcing and manufacturing which contributed $5.3 million and further manufacturing efficiencies as a result of continued application of the Altra Business System. If the 2008 foreign exchange rates remained constant when compared to 2007, gross profit would have increased $20.6 million. During the first nine months of 2008, gross profit increased $21.2 million or $18.8 million if the 2008 foreign exchange rates remained constant when compared to 2007. During the fourth quarter of 2008 gross profit would have decreased $0.3 million compared to the prior year period. If the 2008 foreign exchange rates remained constant when compared to 2007, gross profit increased $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The global economic slowdown experienced during 2008 and particularly during the fourth quarter of 2008 affected our markets and customers. As a result, our sales and therefore gross profit in the fourth quarter would have been flat when compared to the fourth quarter of 2007 if the 2008 foreign exchange rates remained constant compared to 2007.
 
Cost of sales benefited from warehousing fees of $0.3 million billed as a part of a transition services agreement which was entered into in connection with the sale of TB Wood’s Electronics Division. These warehousing services terminated in 2008.

Interest expense.  Net interest expense decreased due to the lower average outstanding balance of 11.25% Senior Notes during 2008, which resulted in lower interest of $2.9 million compared to the prior year. In addition, in 2007, we incurred an additional $7.1 million of prepayment premiums associated with the pay down of the 11.25% Senior Notes as compared to the prepayment premiums on the pay-down of the 9% Senior Secured Notes in 2008. In addition, in 2007 we recorded $2.0 million related to the write-off of deferred financing fees and $0.5 million related to a bridge fee. This was offset by $1.4 million of additional interest expense in 2008 associated with the additional 9% Senior Secured Notes that were issued in the second quarter of 2007.
 
Goodwill impairment.  We performed our annual impairment review of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2008. As a result of the annual goodwill impairment review, we determined that the goodwill associated with three reporting units was impaired, and therefore recorded a charge of $31.8 million. We

believe that the global economic crisis and economic conditions within our industry end-markets during 2008 were the primary factors that led to the impairment of goodwill.
 
Restructuring.  During 2007, we adopted two restructuring programs, the Altra Plan and the TB Wood’s Plan. The total restructuring charge for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $2.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. In 2008, the restructuring expense is comprised of $0.2 million of non-cash asset impairment on fixed assets, $0.7 million of moving and relocation expenses and $1.4 million of severance expenses. In addition, in 2008, as part of the Altra Plan, the manufacturing plant in Erie, Pennsylvania was originally scheduled to close. As part of the plan and the plant closure agreement, employees were offered severance for continued service through their termination date. We were accruing the severance ratably from the communication date through the date of termination. In September 2008, we announced that the plant would not be closing and one manufacturing line would remain in operation at the facility. In connection with the announcement, we reversed $0.5 million of severance through the restructuring line in the income statement, that was no longer due to the employees. In 2007, the restructuring expense was comprised of $0.2 million of non cash fixed asset impairment, $1.3 million of moving and relocation expenses, $0.7 million of severance and $0.2 million of other expenses.
 
Curtailment.  One of our four U.S. collective bargaining agreements expired in September 2007. The negotiations originally resulted in a provision to close the Erie, Pennsylvania plant by December 2008 through the transfer of manufacturing equipment to other existing facilities and a ratable reduction in headcount. The plant closure triggered a special retirement pension feature and plan curtailment.
 
Under the special retirement pension feature, plan participants become eligible for pension benefits at an age earlier than the normal retirement feature would otherwise allow provided that service is broken by permanent shutdown, layoff or disability. The pension benefit is increased by a special supplemental benefit payment on a monthly basis and a special one time payment at the time of retirement. The curtailment and special termination benefits were approximately $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
In August 2008, an announcement was made that we would no longer be closing the plant in Erie, Pennsylvania and that the Company would continue to employ those employees that had not previously been terminated. As a result of this announcement, the remaining employees are no longer eligible for the special retirement pension feature under the pension plan. An adjustment to the minimum pension liability was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and will be amortized over the average expected remaining life expectancy of the participants of the plan.
 
In connection with the change at the Erie, Pennsylvania plant, as employees were terminated, we recorded a post-retirement benefit plan curtailment gain of $0.3 million and $0.2 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
During 2008, we entered into a new collective bargaining agreement at one of our plants in Warren, Michigan. The new collective bargaining agreement eliminated post retirement benefits to all employees who were previously eligible. This resulted in a plan curtailment and in the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded a curtailment gain of $0.6 million.
 
Loss on disposal of assets.  We recognized losses on sale and abandonment of fixed assets at various locations during 2008 totaling $1.6 million.

Provision for income taxes.  The provision for income taxes was $16.7 million, or 71.4% of income before taxes for 2008, versus a provision of $8.2 million, or 37.9% of income before taxes for 2007. The 2008 provision for income taxes was higher than the 2007 provision for income taxes primarily due to the non-tax deductible portion of the goodwill impairment charge.

Discontinued Operations.  Loss from discontinued operations in the year to date period ended December 31, 2008, was comprised of a purchase price working capital adjustment, an adjustment to deferred taxes and an adjustment to the tax provision. The tax provision is comprised of taxes on the working capital adjustment and a revision of tax estimates made during 2007 based on the actual amounts filed on the Company’s tax return in 2008.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview
 
We finance our capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility. We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures, expenditures in connection with restructuring activities and pension plan funding. In the event additional funds are needed, we could borrow additional funds under our senior secured revolving credit facility, attempt to refinance our 81/8% Senior Notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”), or attempt to raise capital in equity markets. Presently, we have capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility to borrow $50.0 million. Of this total capacity, we can borrow up to $27.1 million without being required to comply with any financial covenants under the agreement. In order to refinance the existing 81/8% Senior Secured Notes, we would incur a pre-payment premium. There can be no assurance however that additional debt financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Similarly, there can be no assurance that equity financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
 
During 2009, Altra Industrial retired the remaining principal balance of the 111/4% Senior Notes (the “Old Senior Notes”), of £3.3 million or $5.0 million of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the redemption, Altra Industrial incurred $0.2 million of pre-payment premium and wrote-off the entire remaining balance of $0.2 million of deferred financing fees, which is recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income (loss).
 
Senior Secured Notes
 
In 2009, we issued $210 million of Senior Secured Notes due December 1, 2016. The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a second priority lien, subject to first priority liens securing our senior secured revolving credit facility, on substantially all of our assets and those of our domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable in arrears, semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2010. The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants which restrict our subsidiaries. These restrictions limit or prohibit, among other things, their ability to incur additional indebtedness; repay subordinated indebtedness prior to stated maturities; pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions; make investments or acquisitions; sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies; sell stock in our subsidiaries; and create liens on their assets. We were in compliance with all covenants of the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes at December 31, 2009
 
Tender Offer
 
We used the proceeds of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes to repurchase or redeem Altra Industrial’s 9% Old Senior Secured Notes. On November 10, 2009, Altra Industrial commenced a cash tender offer to repurchase any and all of the outstanding Old Senior Secured Notes as of the date thereof at a price equal to $1,000.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes tendered, plus an early tender premium of $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes tendered, payable on notes tendered before the early tender deadline. Holders who tendered their Old Senior Secured Notes also agreed to waive any rights to written notice of redemption. With respect to any Old Senior Secured Notes that were not tendered, we redeemed all Old Senior Secured Notes that remained outstanding after the expiration of the tender offer by issuing a notice of redemption on the early tender deadline. On the early tender deadline, we satisfied and discharged all of our obligations under the indenture governing the Old Senior Secured Notes by depositing funds with the depositary in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge any remaining indebtedness on the Old Senior Secured Notes upon the consummation of the tender offer.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
 
Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Old Senior Secured Notes, Altra Industrial entered into a new Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), that provides for borrowing capacity in an initial amount of up to $50.0 million (subject to adjustment pursuant to a borrowing base and subject to increase from time to time in accordance with the terms of the credit facility). The Revolving Credit Agreement replaced Altra Industrial’s then existing senior secured credit facility (the “Old Revolving Credit Agreement”), and the TB Wood’s existing credit facility (the“Old TB Wood’s Revolving Credit Agreement”).
 
Altra Industrial and all of its domestic subsidiaries are borrowers, or “Borrowers”, under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Certain of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries which are not Borrowers do and will guarantee (on a senior secured basis) the Revolving Credit Agreement. Obligations of the other Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the guarantees are secured by substantially all of Borrowers’ assets and the assets of each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor of our obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement (with such subsidiaries being referred to as the “U.S. subsidiary guarantors”), including but not limited to: (a) a first-priority pledge of all the capital stock of subsidiaries held by Borrowers or any U.S. subsidiary guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any foreign subsidiary, will be limited to 100% of any non-voting stock and 65% of the voting stock of such foreign subsidiary) and (b) perfected first-priority security interests in and mortgages on substantially all tangible and intangible assets of each Borrower and U.S. subsidiary guarantor, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, intellectual property, certain real property, cash and proceeds of the foregoing (in each case subject to materiality thresholds and other exceptions).
 
An event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement would occur in connection with a change of control, among other things, if: (i) Altra Industrial ceases to own or control 100% of each of its borrower subsidiaries, or (ii) a change of control occurs under the Senior Secured Notes, or any other subordinated indebtedness.
 
An event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement would also occur if an event of default occurs under the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes or if there is a default under any other indebtedness of any borrower may have involving an aggregate amount of $10 million or more and such default: (i) occurs at final maturity of such debt, (ii) allows the lender there under to accelerate such debt or (iii) causes such debt to be required to be repaid prior to its stated maturity. An event of default would also occur under the Revolving Credit Agreement if any of the indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement ceases with limited exception to be secured by a full lien of the assets of Borrowers and guarantors.

As of December 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all covenant requirements associated with all of our borrowings. As of December 31, 2009, we had no borrowing and $10.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
 
Old TB Wood’s Revolving Credit Agreement
 
As part of the TB Wood’s acquisition in 2007, the Company refinanced $13.0 million of debt associated with TB Wood’s line of credit. As of December 31, 2008, there was $6.0 million of debt outstanding under the Old TB Wood’s Revolving Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2008 there was $6.0 million of outstanding letters of credit. In connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement described above, the Old TB Wood’s Revolving Credit Agreement was paid in full.
 
Old Revolving Credit Agreement
 
In connection with the PTH Acquisition, we incurred substantial indebtedness. To partially fund the PTH acquisition, Altra Industrial issued $165.0 million of Old Senior Secured Notes and Altra Industrial entered into a $30.0 million senior revolving credit facility, (the “Old Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Old Revolving Credit Agreement provided for senior secured financing of up to $30.0 million, including $10.0 million available for letters of credit. As of the date of refinancing, we were in compliance with all covenant requirements associated with all of our borrowings. The Old Revolving Credit Agreement was terminated in connection with the entering into of the Revolving Credit Agreement.
 
In connection with our acquisition of Hay Hall in February 2006, Altra Industrial issued £33.0 million of Old Senior Notes. Based on an exchange rate of 1.7462 U.S. Dollars to U.K. pounds sterling (as of February 8, 2006), the proceeds from these notes were approximately $57.6 million. The notes were unsecured and were due in 2013. Interest on the Old Senior Notes was payable in U.K. pounds sterling semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing August 15, 2006. In connection with our acquisition of TB Wood’s in April 2007, Altra Industrial issued an additional $105.0 million of its Old Senior Secured Notes. During 2009, the outstanding Old Senior Notes were redeemed.

Highlights:
 
  •      In 2009, we generated significant cash through the reduction of inventory of $28.2 million related to a reduction in purchasing as a result of the economic downturn and we also reduced Accounts Receivable by $19.3 million.
 
  •      In 2009, we issued $210 million of 81/8% Senior Secured Notes due December 2016. We used the proceeds of the offering of the 81/8% Senior Secured Notes to repurchase or redeem $205.3 million of Altra Industrial’s 9% Old Senior Secured Notes and to pay related fees, expenses and other costs of $7.6 million.
 
  •      In 2009, the $6.0 million of debt under the Old TB Wood’s Revolving Credit Agreement was paid in full.
 
  •      During 2009, we retired the remaining principal balance of the 111/4% Old Senior Notes of £3.3 million ($5.0 million) of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the redemption, we incurred $0.2 million of pre-payment premium and wrote-off the entire remaining balance of $0.2 million of deferred financing fees
 
We intend to use our remaining existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations to provide for our working capital needs and to fund potential future acquisitions, debt services, capital expenditures, and pension funding. We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating and investing cash needs. Furthermore, the existing cash balances and the availability of additional borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement provide additional potential sources of liquidity should they be required.

Cash Flows for 2009
 
The primary source of funds for our fiscal year 2009 was cash provided by operating activities of $59.4 million. Net cash used in investing activities of $9.2 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment primarily for investment in manufacturing equipment. Net cash used in financing activities of $54.0 million for 2009 consisted primarily of $242.5 million of payments on the 9% Old Senior Secured Notes, and $5.0 million of payments on the 111/4% Old Senior Notes, offset by $207.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 81/8% Senior Secured Notes.
 
Cash Flows for 2008
 
Net cash provided by operating activities for 2008 of $45.1 million, resulted mainly from net income of $6.5 million, non-cash depreciation, amortization of intangibles and deferred financing costs, accretion of debt discount, goodwill impairment charges, loss on the sale of the TB Wood’s Electronics Division, loss on disposal of fixed assets, non-cash stock compensation expense and the provision for deferred taxes of $61.1 million. This was offset by a non-cash gain on foreign exchange, OPEB curtailment gain and a net change in working capital of $22.5 million.
 
Capital Expenditures
 
We made capital expenditures of approximately $9.2 million and $19.3 million in the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These capital expenditures will support on-going business needs. In 2010, we expect capital expenditures to be approximately $12.0 million.
 
Pension Plans
 
As of December 31, 2009, we had minimum cash funding requirements associated with our pension plan which we estimated to be zero in 2010, $1.2 million in 2011, $1.2 million in 2012 and $0.6 million in 2013 and $1.2 million in 2014. These amounts represent minimum funding requirements for the previous pension benefits we provided our employees. In addition to the minimum funding requirements, we may choose to make additional supplemental payments to the plan.
 
One of the Company’s four U.S. collective bargaining agreements expired in September 2007. In October 2007, negotiations with the union covered by that agreement resulted in a provision to close the Erie, Pennsylvania plant by December 2008 through the transfer of manufacturing equipment to other existing facilities and a ratable reduction in headcount. The plant closure triggered a special retirement pension feature and plan curtailment.
 
Under the special retirement pension feature, plan participants became eligible for pension benefits at an age earlier than the normal retirement feature would allow, provided that service is broken by permanent shutdown, layoff or disability. The pension benefit was increased by a special supplemental benefit payment on a monthly basis and a special one time payment at the time of retirement. The curtailment and special termination benefits were approximately $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
In August 2008, an announcement was made that we would no longer close the plant in Erie, Pennsylvania, and would continue to employ those employees that had not previously been terminated and begin to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement for the remaining employees. As a result of this announcement, the remaining employees are no longer eligible for the special retirement pension feature under the pension plan. An adjustment to the minimum pension liability was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and will be amortized over the average expected remaining life expectancy of the participants of the plan.
 
In March 2009, the Company reached a new collective bargaining agreement with the union at its Erie, Pennsylvania facility. One of the provisions of the new agreement eliminates benefits that employees were entitled to receive through the applicable other post employment benefit plan (“OPEB”). OPEB benefits will no longer be available to retired or active employees. This resulted in a non-cash OPEB settlement gain of $1.5 million in 2009. In addition, no additional years of credited service will be accrued on the defined benefit pension plan effective February 28, 2009. There was no curtailment gain or loss as a result of the change in the pension plan, the plan had no unrecognized prior service cost and there was no change in the projected benefit obligation.

Also, in connection with the union renegotiation, the post retirement benefit plan for employees at that location have been terminated for all eligible employees who had not retired, or given notice to retire in 2007. As employees terminated their employment, we recognized a non-cash gain of $0.3 million and $0.2 million in the year ended 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
In September 2008, we reached a new collective bargaining agreement with the labor union at the manufacturing facility in Warren, Michigan. The new collective bargaining agreement eliminated post-retirement healthcare benefits for all employees and retirees. This resulted in a settlement gain of $0.6 million in the year ended 2008.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
The following table is a summary of our contractual cash obligations as of December 31, 2009 (in millions):

(1) We have semi-annual cash interest requirements due on the Senior Secured Notes with $17.1 million payable in 2010 through 2015, and $15.6 million due in 2016.
 
(2) In June, 2006, our German subsidiary entered into a mortgage on its building in Heidelberg, Germany, with a local bank. The mortgage has a principal of €2.2 million as of December 31, 2009, an interest rate of 3.5% and is payable in monthly installments over the next 6 years.
 
(3) In April 2007, as part of the TB Wood’s acquisition, we assumed obligation for payment of interest and principal on the Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds. These bonds bear variable interest rates and mature in April 2022 and April 2024.
 
(4) We have up to $50.0 million of borrowing capacity, through November 2012, under our Revolving Credit Agreement (including $30 million available for use for letters of credit). As of December 31, 2009, there were no outstanding borrowings and $10.4 million of outstanding letters of credit under our Revolving Credit Agreement.
 
We have cash funding requirements associated with our pension plan. As of December 31, 2009, these requirements were estimated to be zero for 2010, $1.2 million for 2011, $1.2 million for 2012, $0.6 million for 2013 and $1.2 million for 2014.
 
We may be required to make cash outlays related to our unrecognized tax benefits. However, due to the uncertainty of the timing of future cash flows associated with our unrecognized tax benefits, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement, if any, with the respective taxing authorities. Accordingly, unrecognized tax benefits of $9.7 million as of December 31, 2009, have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above. For further information on unrecognized tax benefits, see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based Compensation
 
In January 2005, we established the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan that provides for various forms of stock based compensation to our officers and senior level employees.
 
As of December 31, 2009, there were 560,081 shares of unvested restricted stock outstanding under the plan. The remaining compensation cost to be recognized through 2012 is $2.2 million. Based on the stock price at December 31, 2009, of $12.35 per share, the intrinsic value of these awards as of December 31, 2009, was $6.9 million.
 
Income Taxes
 
We are subject to taxation in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world. Our effective tax rate and tax liability will be affected by a number of factors, such as the amount of taxable income in particular jurisdictions, the tax rates in such jurisdictions, tax treaties between jurisdictions, the extent to which we transfer funds between jurisdictions and repatriate income, and changes in law. Generally, the tax liability for each legal entity is determined either (a) on a non-consolidated and non-combined basis or (b) on a consolidated and combined basis only with other eligible entities subject to tax in the same jurisdiction, in either case without regard to the taxable losses of non-consolidated and non-combined affiliated entities. As a result, we may pay income taxes to some jurisdictions even though on an overall basis we incur a net loss for the period.
 
Seasonality
 
We experience seasonality in our turf and garden business, which in recent years has represented approximately 10% of our net sales. As our large OEM customers prepare for the spring season, our shipments generally start increasing in December, peak in February and March, and begin to decline in April and May. This allows our customers to have inventory in place for the peak consumer purchasing periods for turf and garden products. The June-through-November period is typically the low season for us and our customers in the turf and garden market. Seasonality is also affected by weather and the level of housing starts.
 
Inflation
 
Inflation can affect the costs of goods and services we use. The majority of the countries that are of significance to us, from either a manufacturing or sales viewpoint, have in recent years enjoyed relatively low inflation. The competitive environment in which we operate inevitably creates pressure on us to provide our customers with cost-effective products and services.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) issued enhanced disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets. The additional disclosures are intended to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of (a) how investment allocation decisions are made, (b) the major categories of plan assets, (c) the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, (d) the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period and (e) significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. See Note 9 to consolidated financial statements for our enhanced disclosure.
 
Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are exposed to various market risk factors such as fluctuating interest rates, changes in foreign currency rates and changes in commodity prices. At present, we do not utilize derivative instruments to manage these risks.
 
Currency translation.  The results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates for each period concerned. The balance sheets of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Any adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the aggregate total assets (based on book value) of foreign subsidiaries were $76.8 million and $73.5 million, respectively, representing approximately 55.3% and 57.0%, respectively, of our total assets

Table of Contents

(based on book value). Our foreign currency exchange rate exposure is primarily with respect to the Euro and British Pound Sterling. The approximate exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2009 and 2008, were $1.43 and $1.41, respectively to the Euro. The approximate exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1.59 and $1.45, respectively to the British Pound Sterling.
 
Currency transaction exposure.  Currency transaction exposure arises where actual sales, purchases and financing transactions are made by a business or company in a currency other than its own functional currency. Any transactional differences at an international location are recorded in net income on a monthly basis.
 
Interest rate risk.  The majority of our debt is fixed rate debt, however we are subject to market exposure to changes in interest rates on some of our financing activities. This exposure relates to borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement, and our Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds. Our Revolving Credit Agreement is payable at prime rate plus 0.25% in the case of prime rate loans, or LIBOR rate plus an applicable spread of 2.75% to 3.25%, in the case of LIBOR rate loans. The applicable spread varies depending on the average amount that is unavailable under the Revolving Credit Agreement during the most recent quarter. As of December 31, 2009, we had no borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement and $10.4 million of outstanding letters of credit under our Revolving Credit Agreement. The Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds have a variable interest rate that was less than 1% as of December 31, 2009. Due to the minimal amounts of outstanding debt a hypothetical change in interest rates of 1% would not have a material effect on our near-term financial condition or results of operations.
 
Commodity Price Exposure.  We have exposure to changes in commodity prices principally related to metals including steel, copper and aluminum. We primarily mange our risk associated with such increases through the use of surcharges or general pricing increases for the related products. We do not engage in the use of financial instruments to hedge our commodities price exposure.

Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Net Income Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are included in the per share calculations when the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive.
 
The following is a reconciliation of basic to diluted net income (loss) per share:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amount of the 81/8% Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) was $210.0 million as December 31, 2009. The carrying amount of the 9% Senior Secured Notes (“Old Senior Secured Notes”) was $242.5 million December 31, 2008. The carrying amount of the 11.25% Senior Notes (“Old Senior Notes”) was $4.7 million at December 31, 2008. The estimated fair value of the Senior Secured Notes at December 31, 2009 was

Amounts in thousands (unless otherwise noted)
 
$215.5 million. The estimated fair value of the Old Senior Secured Notes at December 31, 2008 was $232.8 million based on quoted market prices for such notes. The estimated fair value of the Old Senior Notes was approximately £3.3 million ($4.7 million) as of December 31, 2008.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside of the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates at the end of the respective period. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates effective during the respective period.
 
Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations in the period incurred and included in other non-operating expense (income), net in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include all financial instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
 
Trade Receivables
 
An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for estimated collection losses that will be incurred in the collection of receivables. Estimated losses are based on historical collection experience, as well as a review by management of the status of all receivables. Collection losses have been within the Company’s expectations.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for all entities excluding one of the Company’s subsidiaries, TB Wood’s. TB Wood’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, principally using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Inventory stated using the LIFO method approximates 13% of total inventory. The cost of inventories acquired by the Company in its acquisitions reflect their fair values at the date of acquisition as determined by the Company based on the replacement cost of raw materials, the sales price of the finished goods less an appropriate amount representing the expected profitability from selling efforts, and for work-in-process the sales price of the finished goods less an appropriate amount representing the expected profitability from selling efforts and costs to complete.
 
The Company periodically reviews its quantities of inventories on hand and compares these amounts to the expected usage of each particular product or product line. The Company records a charge to cost of sales for any amounts required to reduce the carrying value of inventories to its estimated net realizable value.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
 
Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment, including capital leases is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, as follows:
 
         
Buildings and improvements
    15 to 45 years  
Machinery and equipment
    2 to 15 years  
Capital lease
    Life of lease

Improvements and replacements are capitalized to the extent that they increase the useful economic life or increase the expected economic benefit of the underlying asset. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangibles represent product technology, patents, tradenames, trademarks and customer relationships. Product technology, patents and customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over 8 to 16 years, which approximates the period of economic benefit. The tradenames and trademarks are considered indefinite-lived assets and are not being amortized. Intangibles are stated at fair value on the date of acquisition. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, intangibles are stated net of accumulated amortization incurred since the date of acquisition and any impairment charges.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid by the Company for Power Transmission Holding, Inc. (“PTH”), The Kilian Company (“Kilian”), Hay Hall Ltd. (“Hay Hall”), Bear Linear Inc. (“Warner Linear”), TB Wood’s, Corporation. (“TB Wood’s”), and All Power Transmission Manufacturing, Inc. (“All Power”) over the fair value of the net assets acquired in each of the acquisitions. Goodwill can be attributed to the value placed on the Company being an industry leader with a market leading position in the Power Transmission industry. The Company’s leadership position in the market was achieved by developing and manufacturing innovative products and management anticipates that its leadership position and profitability will continue to expand, enhanced by cost improvement programs associated with ongoing consolidation and centralization of its operations.
 
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company establishes its reporting units based on an analysis of the components that comprise each of our operating segments. Components of an operating segment are aggregated to form one reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units as of the date of the related acquisition. To the extent assets and liabilities relate to multiple reporting units, they are allocated to the reporting units based on the relative fair value of each reporting unit. This requires significant use of judgment and estimates.
 
During 2009, the Company appointed a new Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and went through an extensive restructuring plan. As a result of the change in the CODM and our restructuring activities, we re-evaluated our operating segments and reporting unit structure. We identified five operating segments and concluded that the five operating segments can be aggregated into one reportable segment. We also identified twenty-one reporting units and concluded that the reporting units could be aggregated into five reporting units when performing the goodwill impairment analysis.
 
Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
 
The Company conducts an annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets in December of each year, unless events occur which trigger the need for an interim impairment review. In connection with the Company’s annual impairment review, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value using a two step approach. In the first step, the Company estimates future cash flows based upon historical results and current market projections, discounted at a market comparable rate. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, impairment may be present, the Company would then be required to perform a second step in its impairment analysis. In the second step, the Company would evaluate impairment losses based upon the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, and estimate the implied fair value of the goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that a reporting unit’s recorded value of the goodwill asset exceeded its calculated fair

value. In addition, to the extent the implied fair value of any indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the assets carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized on those assets.
 
As a result of the annual goodwill impairment review in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined that goodwill was impaired at three of its reporting units and therefore recorded a pre-tax charge of $31.8 million in the consolidated statement of operations. Significant declines in macroeconomic market conditions, substantial declines in global equity valuations and the Company’s market capitalization were the main causes of the goodwill impairment.
 
The Company did not identify any impairment of goodwill in 2009.
 
Preparation of forecasts of revenue and profitability growth for use in the long-range plan and the discount rate require significant use of judgment. Changes to the discount rate and the forecasted profitability could affect the estimated fair value of one or more of the Company’s reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other Than Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
 
Long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recovered. Long-lived assets are considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its remaining useful life. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, and is charged to results of operations at that time.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2008, a goodwill impairment was identified and recorded at three of our reporting units. This indicated that there could be an impairment of long-lived assets at those reporting units. The Company performed an impairment analysis of our long-lived assets at the three reporting units that recorded a goodwill impairment charge. The undiscounted cash flows relating to the definite-lived assets exceeded the carrying value of those assets and therefore no impairment charge was recorded.
 
Determining fair values based on discounted cash flows requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including forecasting of revenue and profitability growth for use in the long-range plan and estimating appropriate discount rates.
 
Debt Issuance Costs
 
Costs directly related to the issuance of debt are capitalized, included in other long-term assets and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt obligation. The net carrying value of debt issuance costs was approximately $7.6 million and $4.0 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Product revenues are recognized, net of sales tax collected, at the time title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment to the customer. Product return reserves are accrued at the time of sale based on the historical relationship between shipments and returns, and are recorded as a reduction of net sales.
 
Certain large distribution customers receive quantity discounts which are recognized net at the time the sale is recorded.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
Shipping and handling costs associated with sales are classified as a component of cost of sales.

Warranty Costs
 
Estimated expenses related to product warranties are accrued at the time products are sold to customers. Estimates are established using historical information as to the nature, frequency, and average costs of warranty claims. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Self-Insurance
 
Certain exposures are self-insured up to pre-determined amounts, above which third-party insurance applies, for medical claims, workers’ compensation, vehicle insurance, product liability costs and general liability exposure. The accompanying balance sheets include reserves for the estimated costs associated with these self-insured risks, based on historic experience factors and management’s estimates for known and anticipated claims. A portion of medical insurance costs are offset by charging employees a premium equivalent to group insurance rates.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs are charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses as incurred and amounted to approximately $1.3 million, $2.3 million and $2.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company established the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended that provides for various forms of stock based compensation to officers, directors key employees and others who make significant contributions to the success of the Company. Expense associated with equity awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period which typically coincides with the vesting period of the grant.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. The future benefit to be derived from its deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the assets. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that may be more likely than not to be realized.
 
To the extent the Company establishes a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets generated from operations, an expense will be recorded within the provision for income taxes. In periods subsequent to establishing a valuation allowance on net deferred assets from operations, if the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its net deferred tax assets in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense in the period such determination was made.
 
We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination, based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authority that has full

knowledge of all relevant information. Interest and penalties are accrued, where applicable. If we do not believe that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized.

Reclassifications
 
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. In the 2008 Consolidated Balance Sheet, the income tax receivable balance has been presented in a separate line in the balance sheet to conform with 2009 presentation.
 
2.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) issued enhanced disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets. The additional disclosures are intended to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of (a) how investment allocation decisions are made, (b) the major categories of plan assets, (c) the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, (d) the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period and (e) significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. See Note 9 to consolidated financial statements for the Company’s enhanced disclosure.
 
3.   Discontinued Operations
 
On December 31, 2007, the Company completed the divestiture of its TB Wood’s adjustable speed drives business (“Electronics Division”) to Finland-based Vacon for $29.0 million. The decision to sell the Electronics Division was made to allow the Company to continue its strategic focus on its core electro-mechanical power transmission business.
 
As of December 31, 2007, $11.9 million of cash had been received from Vacon for the purchase of the Electronics Division. The remaining $17.1 million was recorded as a receivable for the sale of Electronics Division on the December 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet. The Company collected the receivable in January 2008. The Company determined that the Electronics Division became a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter of 2007. Accordingly, the operating results of the Electronics Division were segregated from the continuing operations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the periods subsequent to the acquisition of TB Wood’s (April 5, 2007) through December 31, 2007.

In connection with the acquisition of TB Wood’s stock, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. Because the transaction was an acquisition of stock, the historical tax basis in the stock acquired was carried over and became the tax basis for the Company resulting in significant book-tax differences. The deferred tax liabilities were not recorded in connection with the non-deductible goodwill resulting from the acquisition. In addition, there were significant differences between the outside and inside basis in the foreign subsidiaries’ stock that was sold as part of the disposal. As a result of these book-tax differences, we realized a significant gain on the sale of the Electronics Division for tax purposes but a much smaller gain for book purposes. As a result, the tax expense on the gain on the discontinued operations was significantly larger than one might expect when compared to the income from discontinued operations before taxes.
 
The Company entered into a transition services agreement to provide services such as sales support, warehousing, accounting and IT services to Vacon. The Company has recorded the income received as an offset to the related expense of providing the service. During 2008, the Company recorded $0.3 million against cost of sales, $1.1 million against SG&A and $0.6 million in other income related to lease payments for the rental of buildings. During 2009, the Company recorded $0.6 million in other income related to lease payments for the rental of buildings.
 
Loss from discontinued operations in the year ended December 31, 2008, was comprised of a purchase price working capital adjustment, net of tax and a revision of tax estimates made in 2007 based on the actual amounts filed on the Company’s tax return in 2008.
 
4.   Inventories
 
Inventories located at certain subsidiaries acquired in connection with the TB Wood’s acquisition are stated at the lower of current cost or market, principally using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. All of the Company’s remaining subsidiaries are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)

method. The cost of inventory includes direct materials, direct labor and production overhead. Market is defined as net realizable value. Inventories at December 31, 2009 and 2008 consisted of the following:
 
                 
    December 31,
    December 31,
 
    2009     2008  
 
Raw Materials
  $ 28,539     $ 31,925

Inventories, net
  $ 71,853     $ 98,410  
                 
 
Approximately 13% of total inventories at December 31, 2009, were valued using the LIFO method. The Company recorded as a component of cost of sales, a $0.1 million benefit and a provision of $1.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. If the LIFO inventory was accounted for using the FIFO method, the inventory balance at December 31, 2009 and 2008, would be $0.4 million and $0.3 million lower, respectively.
 
5.   Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2009 and 2008, consisted of the following:
 
                 
    2009     2008

    $ 105,603     $ 110,220  
                 
 
During the fourth quarter of 2007, management entered into a plan to exit the building located in Stratford, Canada. The operations of the facility, which was acquired as part of the TB Wood’s acquisition, were integrated into certain of the Company’s other existing facilities in 2008. In the second quarter of 2009, due to real estate market conditions in Stratford, Canada, the Company reevaluated the classification of this building as an asset held for sale and reclassified the building, with a net book value of $1.2 million, to held and used. As a result of the change in classification, the Company recorded a catch-up depreciation adjustment of $0.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
As of December 31, 2008, management planned to exit two buildings, one in Scotland, Pennsylvania and one in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The two buildings were previously the operating facilities for the Electronics Division which was divested on December 31, 2007. The Company leases the space to Vacon. In the first quarter of 2009, due to real estate market conditions in Scotland, Pennsylvania and Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Company reevaluated the classification of these buildings as assets held for sale and reclassified the buildings, with a net book value of $3.5 million, to held and used. As a result of the change in classification, the Company recorded a catch-up depreciation adjustment of $0.2 million in 2009.

    416             (688 )      
                                 
Total intangible assets
  $ 98,619     $ 23,714     $ 97,515     $ 18,176  
                                 
 
The Company recorded $5.5 million, $5.7 million and $5.5 million of amortization for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Customer relationships, product technology and patents are amortized over their useful lives ranging from 8 to 16 years. The weighted average estimated useful life of intangible assets subject to amortization is approximately 11 years.
 
The estimated amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately $5.5 million in each of the next five years and then $16.3 million thereafter.
 
In 2008 and 2009, as part of the annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company estimated the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units using an income approach. The Company forecasted future cash flows by reporting unit for each of the next five years and applied a long-term growth rate to the final year of forecasted cash flows.
 
As a result of the December 31, 2008 goodwill impairment analysis, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $31.8 million at the TB Wood’s, Huco and Warner Linear reporting units. Due to prevailing market conditions at the time of the acquisitions of these three reporting units, the purchase price paid as consideration for these three acquisitions required a higher premium when compared to the prior 2004 Colfax acquisition and therefore created higher goodwill at these reporting units.
 
The Company did not identify a goodwill impairment in 2009.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-25, formerly known as FASB interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB 109” (“FIN 48”), at the beginning of fiscal 2007, which resulted in a decrease of approximately $0.2 million to the December 31, 2006 retained earning balance. FIN 48 provides a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $9.7 million. If recognized, $9.2 million would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate and $0.5 million would reduce deferred tax assets resulting in no impact to our effective tax rate.
 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company accrued interest and penalties of $0.4 million, $1.4 million and $1.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $3.5 million, $3.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively. We do not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefit disclosed above to change significantly over the next 12 months.

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States as well as consolidated and separate income tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in all of these jurisdictions. With the exception of certain state and non U.S. jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the tax years prior to 2005 in these major jurisdictions. Additionally, the Company has indemnification agreements with the sellers of the Colfax PTH, Kilian and Hay Hall entities, which provides for reimbursement to the Company for payments made in satisfaction of tax liabilities relating to pre-acquisition periods.
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

At December 31, 2009, the Company had federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $12.4 million, which expire in 2029, state NOL carryforwards of $33.8 million, which expire between 2014 and 2029, and non U.S. NOL carryforwards of $17.9 million, of which $17.5 million have an unlimited carryforward period and the remaining $0.4 million expire between 2019 and 2027. The NOL carryforwards available are subject to limitations on their annual usage. The Company also has federal and state tax credits of $2.8 million available to reduce future income taxes that expire between 2013 and 2029.
 
Valuation allowances are established for deferred tax assets that management believes may not be realized. The Company continually reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognizes tax benefits only as reassessments indicate that it is more likely than not the benefits will be realized. A valuation allowance of $8.7 million and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, have been established due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of these NOL carryforwards and tax credits.
 
A provision has not been made for U.S. or additional non-U.S. taxes on $13.5 million of undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries that could be subject to taxation if remitted to the U.S. because the

Company plans to keep these amounts permanently reinvested outside the U.S. except for instances where the Company can remit such earnings to the U.S. without an associated net tax cost.

For all pension plans presented above, the accumulated and projected benefit obligations exceed the fair value of plan assets. The accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $25.6 million and $26.7 million, respectively. Non-U.S. pension liabilities recognized in the amounts presented above are $3.3 million and $2.9 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2009 and 2008, is $0.5 million (net of $0.3 million in taxes) and $2.0 million (net of $1.2 million in taxes), respectively, of unrecognized actuarial losses that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost.
 
The weighted average discount rate used in the computation of the respective benefit obligations at December 31, 2009 and 2008, presented above are as follows:

The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption is 8.5%. The assumption represents the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the benefit obligation. The assumption reflects expectations regarding future rates of return for the

investment portfolio, with consideration given to the distribution of investments by asset class and historical rates of return for each individual asset class.

The investment strategy is to achieve a rate of return on the plan’s assets that, over the long-term, will fund the plan’s benefit payments and will provide for other required amounts in a manner that satisfies all fiduciary responsibilities. A determinant of the plan’s return is the asset allocation policy. The plan’s asset mix will be reviewed by the Company periodically, but at least quarterly, to rebalance within the target guidelines. The Company will also periodically review investment managers to determine if the respective manager has performed satisfactorily when compared to the defined objectives, similarly invested portfolios, and specific market indices.
 
For measurement of the postretirement benefit obligations and net periodic benefit costs, an annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits of approximately 9.5% was assumed. This rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5%. The assumed health care trends are a significant

The Company contributed $0.9 million to its pension plan in 2009. The Company has minimum cash funding requirements associated with its pension plan which are estimated to be zero in 2010, $1.2 million in 2011, $1.2 million in 2012, $0.6 million in 2013 and $1.2 million in 2014.
 
One of the Company’s four U.S. collective bargaining agreements expired in September 2007. In October 2007, negotiations with the union covered by that agreement resulted in a provision to close the Erie, Pennsylvania plant by December 2008 through the transfer of manufacturing equipment to other existing facilities and a ratable reduction in headcount. The plant closure triggered a special retirement pension feature and plan curtailment.
 
Under the special retirement pension feature, plan participants became eligible for pension benefits at an age earlier than the normal retirement feature would allow, provided that service is broken by permanent shutdown, layoff or disability. The pension benefit was increased by a special supplemental benefit payment on a monthly basis and a special one time payment at the time of retirement. The curtailment and special termination benefits were approximately $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
In August 2008, an announcement was made that the Company would no longer close the plant in Erie, Pennsylvania, and would continue to employ those employees that had not previously been terminated and begin to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement for the remaining employees. As a result of this announcement, the remaining employees were no longer eligible for the special retirement pension feature under the pension plan. An adjustment to the minimum pension liability was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and will be amortized over the average expected remaining life expectancy of the participants of the plan.
 
Also, in connection with the union renegotiation, the post retirement benefit plan for employees at that location have been terminated for all eligible employees who had not retired, or given notice to retire in

2007. As employees terminated their employment, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $0.3 million and $0.2 million in the year ended 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
In September 2008, the Company reached a new collective bargaining agreement with the labor union at the manufacturing facility in Warren, Michigan. The new collective bargaining agreement eliminated post-retirement healthcare benefits for all employees and retirees. This resulted in a settlement gain of $0.6 million in the year ended 2008.
 
In March 2009, the Company reached a new collective bargaining agreement with the union at its Erie, Pennsylvania facility. One of the provisions of the new agreement eliminates benefits that employees were entitled to receive through the applicable other post employment benefit plan (“OPEB”). OPEB benefits will no longer be available to retired or active employees. This resulted in an OPEB settlement gain of $1.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, no additional years of credited service will be accrued on the defined benefit pension plan effective February 28, 2009. There was no curtailment gain or loss as a result of the change in the pension plan.
 
Defined Contribution Plans
 
At November 30, 2004, the Company established a defined contribution plan for substantially all full-time U.S.-based employees.
 
Under the terms of the Company’s plan, eligible employees may contribute from one to fifty percent of their compensation to the plan on a pre-tax basis. During 2009, the Company made matching contributions equal to half of the first six percent of salary contributed by each employee and makes a unilateral contribution of three percent of all employees’ salary (including non-contributing employees). Effective February 2009, the Company’s matching contribution was temporarily suspended and effective July 2009, the Company’s unilateral contribution was suspended. The Company’s expense associated with the defined contribution plan was $1.0 million and $1.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Senior Secured Notes
 
In 2009, the Company issued 81/8% Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) with a face value of $210 million. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semiannually in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2010 at an annual rate of 81/8%. The effective interest rate of the Senior Secured Notes was approximately 8.75% after consideration of the $6.5 million of deferred financing costs (included in other assets). The principal balance of the Senior Secured Notes matures on December 1, 2016.
 
The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a second priority lien, subject to first priority liens securing the Revolving Credit Agreement, on substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of its domestic subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants which restrict our subsidiaries. These restrictions limit or prohibit, among other things, their ability to incur additional indebtedness; repay subordinated indebtedness prior to stated maturities; pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions; make investments or acquisitions; sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies; sell stock in our subsidiaries; and create liens on their assets.
 
Tender Offer
 
The Company used the proceeds of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes to repurchase or redeem the Old Senior Secured Notes. On November 10, 2009, Altra Industrial commenced a cash tender offer to repurchase any and all of its outstanding 9% Senior Secured Notes (the “Old Senior Secured Notes”) as of the date thereof at a price equal to $1,000.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes tendered, plus an early tender premium of $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes tendered, payable on notes tendered before the early tender deadline. Holders who tendered their Old Senior Secured Notes also agreed to waive any rights to written notice of redemption. With respect to any Old Senior Secured Notes that were not tendered, Altra Holdings redeemed all Old Senior Secured Notes that remained outstanding after the expiration of the tender offer by issuing a notice of redemption on the early tender deadline. On the early tender deadline, Altra Holdings satisfied and discharged all of its obligations under the indenture governing the Old Senior Secured Notes by depositing funds with the depositary in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge any remaining indebtedness on the Old Senior Secured Notes upon the consummation of the tender offer.
 
Revolving Credit Agreement
 
Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes, Altra Industrial entered into a new senior secured credit facility, (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), that provides for borrowing capacity in an initial amount of up to $50.0 million (subject to adjustment pursuant to a borrowing base and subject to increase from time to time in accordance with the terms of the credit facility). The Revolving Credit Agreement replaced Altra Industrial’s then existing senior secured credit facility, (the “Old Revolving Credit Agreement”), and the TB Wood’s existing credit facility, “Old TB Wood’s Revolving Credit Agreement”. The Company may use up to $30.0 million of its availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement for standby letters of credit issued on its behalf, the issuance of which will reduce the amount of borrowings that would otherwise be available to the Company. The Company may re-borrow any amounts paid to reduce the amount of outstanding borrowings; however, all borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement must be repaid in full as of November 25, 2012.
 
There were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement at December 31, 2009, however, the lender had issued $10.4 million of outstanding letters of credit on behalf of the Company.
 
Altra Industrial and all of its domestic subsidiaries are borrowers, or “Borrowers”, under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Obligations of the other Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the guarantees are secured by substantially all of Borrowers’ assets and the assets of each of our existing and

subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor of our obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement (with such subsidiaries being referred to as the “U.S. subsidiary guarantors”), including but not limited to: (a) a first-priority pledge of all the capital stock of subsidiaries held by Borrowers or any U.S. subsidiary guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any foreign subsidiary, will be limited to 100% of any non-voting stock and 65% of the voting stock of such foreign subsidiary) and (b) perfected first-priority security interests in and mortgages on substantially all tangible and intangible assets of each Borrower and U.S. subsidiary guarantor, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, intellectual property, certain real property, and cash and proceeds of the foregoing (in each case subject to materiality thresholds and other exceptions).
 
An event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement would occur in connection with a change of control, among other things, if: (i) Altra Industrial ceases to own or control 100% of each of its borrower subsidiaries, or (ii) a change of control occurs under the Senior Secured Notes, or any other subordinated indebtedness.
 
An event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement would also occur if an event of default occurs under the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes or if there is a default under any other indebtedness of any borrower may have involving an aggregate amount of $10 million or more and such default: (i) occurs at final maturity of such debt, (ii) allows the lender there under to accelerate such debt or (iii) causes such debt to be required to be repaid prior to its stated maturity. An event of default would also occur under the Revolving Credit Agreement if any of the indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement ceases with limited exception to be secured by a full lien on the assets of Borrowers and guarantors.
 
Old Revolving Credit Agreement
 
Prior to entering into the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company maintained a $30 million revolving borrowings facility with a commercial bank (the “Old Revolving Credit Agreement”) through its wholly owned subsidiary Altra Industrial. The Old Revolving Credit Agreement was subject to certain limitations resulting from the requirement of Altra Industrial to maintain certain levels of collateralized assets, as defined in the Old Revolving Credit Agreement. Altra Industrial was in compliance with all covenant requirements associated with the Old Revolving Credit Agreement as of the date of refinancing.
 
Old TB Wood’s Revolving Credit Agreement
 
As part of the TB Wood’s acquisition in 2007, the Company refinanced $13.0 million of debt associated with TB Wood’s line of credit. As of December 31, 2008, there was $6.0 million of debt outstanding under the TB Wood’s Old Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2008 there was $6.0 million of outstanding letters of credit. In connection with the refinancing transaction described above, the Old TB Wood’s Revolving Credit Agreement was paid in full.
 
Overdraft Agreements
 
Certain of our foreign subsidiaries maintain overdraft agreements with financial institutions. There were no borrowings as of December 31, 2009 or 2008 under any of the overdraft agreements.

In connection with the pay-down, Altra Industrial incurred $5.1 million of pre-payment premiums and wrote-off $3.2 million of deferred financing costs, and $1.9 million of discount/premium which was recorded as a component of interest expense.
 
The Old Senior Secured Notes were guaranteed by Altra Industrial’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries and were secured by a second priority lien, subject to first priority liens securing the Old Revolving Credit Agreement, on substantially all of Altra Industrial’s assets. The Old Senior Secured Notes contained numerous terms, covenants and conditions, which imposed substantial limitations on Altra Industrial.

The Old Senior Notes mature on February 13, 2013.
 
During 2008, Altra Industrial retired £0.7 million, or $1.3 million, aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Old Senior Notes at a redemption price of 106.0% of the principal amount of the Old Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

During 2009, Altra Industrial retired the remaining principal balance of the Old Senior Notes, of £3.3 million or $5.0 million of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the redemption, Altra Industrial incurred $0.2 million of pre-payment premium and wrote-off the entire remaining balance of $0.2 million of deferred financing fees, which is recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income (loss).The Old Senior Notes were guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Altra Industrial’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries. The Old Senior Notes contained numerous terms, covenants and conditions, which imposed substantial limitations on the Company.
 
Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds
 
In connection with the acquisition of TB Wood’s, the Company assumed obligations for certain Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds outstanding as of the acquisition date. TB Wood’s had assumed obligations for approximately $3.0 million and $2.3 million of Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds issued under the authority of the industrial development corporations of the City of San Marcos, Texas and City of Chattanooga, Tennessee, respectively. These bonds bear variable interest rates (less than 1% as of December 31, 2009) and mature in April 2024 and April 2022, respectively. The bonds were issued to finance production facilities for TB Wood’s manufacturing operations in those cities, and are secured by letters of credit issued under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company currently is leasing the facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee to Vacon, the purchaser of the Electronics Division.

Restricted Common Stock
 
The Company’s Board of Directors established the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”) that provides for various forms of stock based compensation to independent directors, officers and senior-level employees of the Company. The restricted shares issued pursuant to the plan generally vest ratably over a period ranging from immediately to five years from the date of grant, provided, that the vesting of the restricted shares may accelerate upon the occurrence of certain liquidity events, if approved by the Board of Directors in connection with the transactions. Common stock awarded under the Plan is generally subject to restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights, and other limitations and rights as set forth in the applicable award agreements. The shares are valued based on the share price on the date of grant.
 
The Plan permits the Company to grant restricted stock to key employees and other persons who make significant contributions to the success of the Company. The restrictions and vesting schedule for restricted stock granted under the Plan are determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the

13.   Concentrations of Credit, Segment Data and Workforce
 
Financial instruments, which are potentially subject to counter party performance and concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company manages these risks by conducting credit evaluations of customers prior to delivery or commencement of services. When the Company enters into a sales contract, collateral is normally not required from the customer. Payments are typically due within thirty days of billing. An allowance for potential credit losses is maintained, and losses have historically been within management’s expectations. No customer represented greater than 10% of total sales for the year ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
 
The Company is also subject to counter party performance risk of loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, such as cash and investments. Cash and investments are held by international and well established financial institutions.
 
The Company has five operating segments that are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker. Each of these operating segments represents a unit that produces mechanical power transmission products. The Company aggregates all of the operating segments into one reportable segment. The five operating segments have similar long-term average gross profit margins. All of our products are sold by one global sales force and we have one global marketing function. Strategic markets and industries are determined for the entire company and then targeted by the brands. All of our operating segments have common manufacturing and production processes. Each segment includes a machine shop which uses similar equipment and manufacturing techniques. Each of our segments uses common raw materials, such as aluminum, steel and copper. The materials are purchased and procurement contracts are negotiated by one global purchasing function.

We serve the general industrial market by selling to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and distributors. Our OEM and distributor customers serve the general industrial market. Resource allocation decisions such as capital expenditure requirements and headcount requirements are made at a consolidated level and allocated to the individual operating segments.
 
Discrete financial information is not available by product line at the level necessary for management to assess performance or make resource allocation decisions.
 
Net sales to third parties and property, plant and equipment by geographic region are as follows:

Net sales to third parties are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country in which the shipment originates. Amounts attributed to the geographic regions for property, plant and equipment are based on the location of the entity, which holds such assets. The net assets of our foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $76.8 million and $73.5 million, respectively.
 
The Company has not provided specific product line sales as our general purpose financial statements do not allow us to readily determine groups of similar product sales.
 
Approximately 17.1% of the Company’s labor force (11.1% and 40.8% in the United States and Europe, respectively) is represented by collective bargaining agreements.
 
14.   Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Transition Expenses
 
In 2009, the Company adopted a new restructuring plan (“2009 Altra Plan”) to improve the utilization of the manufacturing infrastructure and to realign the business with the current economic conditions. The 2009 Altra Plan is intended to improve operational efficiency by reducing headcount and consolidating facilities.
 
During 2007, the Company adopted two restructuring programs. The first was intended to improve operational efficiency by reducing headcount, consolidating its operating facilities and relocating manufacturing to lower cost areas (the “Altra Plan”). The second was related to the acquisition of TB Wood’s and was intended to reduce duplicate staffing and consolidate facilities (the “TB Wood’s Plan”). The TB Wood’s Plan was initially formulated at the time of the TB Wood’s acquisition and therefore an accrual was recorded as part of purchase price accounting. The total restructuring charges for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $2.3 million, primarily comprised of costs associated with the termination of certain individuals whose positions with the Company were determined to be redundant. In 2007, the total restructuring charges of $2.4 million were primarily comprised of costs associated with the relocation of certain manufacturing operations, including third party costs for transporting manufacturing equipment related to the consolidation of facilities and relocating personnel. These moving and relocation costs are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. There were no costs incurred in 2009 under the Altra Plan or the TB Wood’s Plan.

On April 7, 2009, the Company announced that it would be closing its facility in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan and relocating the manufacturing to certain of the Company’s other facilities. In connection with this decision, the Company completed an impairment analysis. The facility which had a carrying value of $1.4 million was written down to the fair value of $0.7 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $0.7 million. The Company estimated the fair value using observable inputs (level 2) by reviewing sale prices of comparable buildings in the Mt. Pleasant, Michigan area. The relocation is expected to be completed by the end of 2009.
 
On July 7, 2009, the Company announced that it would be closing its manufacturing facility in South Beloit, Illinois and relocating the manufacturing operations to certain of the Company’s other facilities. In connection with this decision, the Company completed an impairment analysis. The facility which had a carrying value of $2.1 million was written down to the fair value of $1.5 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $0.6 million. The Company estimated the fair value using observable inputs (level 2). The Company reviewed sale prices of comparable buildings in the South Beloit, Illinois area. The relocation is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2010. In September 2009, the Company negotiated a plant closing agreement with the local union at the South Beloit facility. The Company has agreed to pay approximately $0.7 million in severance and performance bonuses to those employees who remain employed through their termination date. The Company expects to pay these amounts in the fourth quarter of 2009 through the first quarter of 2010.

The Company expects to incur between an additional $2.0 million and $3.0 million in total restructuring costs, of which severance will account for approximately $1.5 million and the remainder will relate to moving and relocation costs.
 
15.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
Minimum Lease Obligations
 
The Company leases certain offices, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, automobiles and equipment with various terms that range from a month to month basis to ten year terms and which, generally, include renewal provisions. Future minimum rent obligations under non-cancelable operating and capital leases are as follows:

          $ 1,821  
                 
 
Net rent expense under operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $4.8 million, $5.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
 
General Litigation
 
The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. None of these legal proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. With respect to these proceedings, management believes that it will prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate reserves to cover potential liabilities. Any costs that management estimates may be paid related to these proceedings or claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adversely to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no product liability claims for which management believed a loss was probable. As a result, no amounts were accrued in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for product liability losses at those dates.
 
Although the Company is indemnified under the terms of certain acquisition agreements for pre-existing matters up to agreed upon limits, there can be no assurance that the counter-party to such agreements will agree or be able to make payments in the event of future indemnity claims.

Item 9A.   Controls and Procedures
 
1.   Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or the Exchange Act. These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of December 31, 2009, or the Evaluation Date, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
2.   Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
(a)   Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
  •       pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of assets;
 
  •       provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
  •       provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.
 
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(b)   Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Altra Holdings, Inc.
Braintree, Massachusetts
 
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Altra Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 of the Company and our report dated March 9, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.

Such Grantor will promptly notify the Collateral Agent of any Collateral which constitutes a claim against the United States government or any state or local government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having a value in excess of $1,000,000, the assignment of which claim is restricted by federal, state or municipal law.
     4.11. No Interference. Such Grantor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Collateral Agent provided for in this Security Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.
     4.12. Insurance.
          (a) In the event any Collateral is located in any area that has been designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a “Special Flood Hazard Area”, such Grantor shall purchase and maintain flood insurance on such Collateral (including any personal property which is located on any real property leased by such Grantor within a “Special Flood Hazard Area”). The amount of flood insurance required by this Section shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of the total amount of the Notes or the total replacement cost value of the improvements.
          (b) All insurance policies required hereunder shall name the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Holders) (or, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) as an additional insured or as loss payee, as applicable, and shall contain loss payable clauses or mortgagee clauses, through customary endorsements which provide that: (i) all proceeds thereunder with respect to any Collateral shall be payable to the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) to be held, remitted to the Grantors or applied against the Secured Obligations as provided in the Indenture or the Credit Agreement, as the case may be; (ii) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy; and (iii) such policy and loss payable or mortgagee clauses may be canceled, amended, or terminated only upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice given to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
          (c) All premiums on any such insurance shall be paid when due by such Grantor, and copies of the policies delivered to the Collateral Agent. If such Grantor fails to obtain any insurance as required by this Section, the Collateral Agent may obtain such insurance at the Grantor’s expense. By purchasing such insurance, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any Default arising from the Grantor’s failure to maintain such insurance or pay any premiums therefor.
     4.13. Collateral Access Agreements. Such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, within 120 days following the Closing Date, a Collateral Access Agreement, from (x) the lessor of each leased property and (y) from any bailee or consignee with respect to any warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location, in each case where inventory having a fair market value in excess of $500,000 is stored or located or where machinery or equipment having a fair market value in excess of $500,000 is stored or located, which agreement or letter shall provide access rights, contain a waiver or subordination of all Liens or claims that the landlord, bailee or consignee may assert against the Collateral at that location; provided, however, to the extent the Collateral Access Agreement relates to any Lease entered into after the date of the Indenture, such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Collateral Access Agreement within 90 days following the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, no real property or warehouse space shall be leased by such Grantor and no Inventory shall be shipped to a processor or converter under arrangements established after the Closing Date, unless and until a satisfactory Collateral Access Agreement shall first have been obtained with respect to such location (unless the fair market value of the inventory at such location, or the

14


 

fair market value of the machinery and equipment at such location, is less than $500,000). Such Grantor shall timely and fully pay and perform its obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each leased location or third party warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located.
     4.14. Control Agreements. As soon as practicable but in no event later than March 25, 2010, unless waived by the Administrative Agent, which waiver shall be evidenced by the delivery of a written notice to the Collateral Agent with respect to this Section 4.14, the Grantors shall cause each depository bank or other institution where the Grantors continue to maintain any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) to enter into a Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account or Securities Account; provided, that, in the event the Grantors are not able to obtain a Control Agreement with respect to any Deposit Account or Securities Account (other than Excluded Accounts) as of March 25, 2010, then the Grantors shall close each such Deposit Account or Securities Account (other than an Excluded Account) for which a Control Agreement was not obtained, and shall transfer all cash or securities (or proceeds thereof) maintained in such accounts to new Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts maintained with a depository bank, securities broker, securities intermediary or other financial institution that is a party to a Control Agreement. The Grantors will (i) provide prompt written notice to the Collateral Agent of the establishment of any Deposit Account or Securities Account after the Closing Date and (ii) contemporaneous with the establishment of such Deposit Account or Securities Account (other than an Excluded Account), obtain a Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account or Securities Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Grantors shall enter into a Control Agreement with respect to the Collection Account and any other Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) established by the Grantors
     4.15. Change of Name or Location; Change of Fiscal Year. Such Grantor shall not (a) change its name as it appears in official filings in the state of its incorporation or organization, (b) change its chief executive office, principal place of business, mailing address, corporate offices or warehouses or locations at which Collateral is held or stored, or the location of its records concerning the Collateral as set forth in the Security Agreement, (c) change the type of entity that it is, (d) change its organization identification number, if any, issued by its state of incorporation or other organization, or (e) change its state of incorporation or organization, in each case, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of such change and such Grantor shall have acknowledged in writing that such change will not adversely affect the validity, perfection or priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral; provided, that any new location shall be in the continental U.S. Such Grantor shall not change its fiscal year which currently ends on December 31.
     4.16. Assigned Contracts. Such Grantor will use its best efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) of any Assigned Contract held by such Grantor and to enforce the security interests granted hereunder, except where the failure to obtain such consent or approval could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Such Grantor shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of its Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce all of its rights and remedies thereunder, in each case, as it deems appropriate in its business judgment; provided, however, that such Grantor shall not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to its Assigned Contracts which would cause the termination of an Assigned Contract unless the Grantor shall have reasonably determined that the termination of such Assigned Contract would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Grantor shall take all action necessary or appropriate to permit, and shall not take any action which would have any materially adverse effect upon, the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under its Assigned Contracts. Such Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing, promptly after such Grantor becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a claim by it for indemnification in an amount in excess of $500,000 under any of its Assigned Contracts, and shall diligently pursue such right to recover such claim and report to the Collateral Agent on all further developments with respect thereto. If Full Cash Dominion shall be in effect, such Grantor shall deposit into a Deposit Account at the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) or subject to a Control Agreement for application to the Secured Obligations all amounts received

15


 

by such Grantor as indemnification or otherwise pursuant to its Assigned Contracts. Subject to the Discharge of the First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, if such Grantor shall fail after the Collateral Agent’s demand to pursue diligently any right under its Assigned Contracts, or if an Event of Default then exists, the Collateral Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Holders shall, directly enforce such right in its own or such Grantor’s name and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent or the Required Holders, as applicable, shall determine. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders under any Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, such Grantor shall indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent and Holders harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaims, recoupment, or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by such Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from such Grantor to or in favor of such obligor or its successors. All such obligations of such Grantor shall be and remain enforceable only against such Grantor and shall not be enforceable against the Collateral Agent or the Holders. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, such Grantor shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its duties and obligations under its Assigned Contracts, and the Collateral Agent’s or any Holder’s exercise of any of their respective rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release such Grantor from any of such duties and obligations. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Holder shall be obligated to perform or fulfill any of such Grantor’s duties or obligations under its Assigned Contracts or to make any payment thereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment or property received by it thereunder or the sufficiency of performance by any party thereunder, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance, any payment of any amounts, or any delivery of any property.
ARTICLE V
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
     5.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:
          (a) Any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of any Grantor under or in connection with this Security Agreement shall be materially false as of the date on which made.
          (b) The breach by any Grantor of any of the terms or provisions of Article IV or Article VII.
          (c) The breach by any Grantor (other than a breach which constitutes an Event of Default under any other Section of this Article V) of any of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement which is not remedied within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice by such Grantor of written notice from either the Required Holders or the Collateral Agent of such breach.
          (d) The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under, and as defined in, the Indenture.
          (e) Any Equity Interest which is included within the Collateral shall at any time constitute a Security or the issuer of any such Equity Interest shall take any action to have such interests treated as a Security unless (i) all certificates or other documents constituting such Security have been delivered to the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent) and such Security is properly defined as such under Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction, whether as a result of actions by the issuer thereof or otherwise, or (ii) either the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent has entered into a Control Agreement with the issuer of such Security or with a securities intermediary relating to such Security and such Security is defined as such under Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction, whether as a result of actions by the issuer thereof or otherwise.
     5.2. Remedies.

16


 

          (a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:
          (i) those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Indenture, or any other Second Priority Document; provided, that this Section 5.2(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent and the Holders prior to an Event of Default;
          (ii) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;
          (iii) after the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Control Agreement or any other control agreement with any securities intermediary and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral;
          (iv) after the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; and
          (v) after the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Collateral Agent were the outright owner thereof.
          (b) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Holders, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
          (c) After the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Holders, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.
          (d) After the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Holders), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

17


 

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Holders shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.
          (f) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.
     5.3. Grantor’s Obligations Upon Default. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:
          (a) assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified by the Collateral Agent, whether at a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere;
          (b) after the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy;
          (c) after the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, prepare and file, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to prepare and file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable government agency, registration statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged Collateral as necessary, and furnish to the Collateral Agent or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to furnish to the Collateral Agent any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in such detail as the Collateral Agent may specify;
          (d) take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral; and
          (e) at its own expense, cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by each Grantor to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent the following reports with respect to the applicable Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts.
     5.4. Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article V following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby (a) grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Holders, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any intellectual property rights now owned or

18


 

hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (b) irrevocably agrees that the Collateral Agent may sell any of such Grantor’s Inventory directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased the Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Collateral Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.
ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNT VERIFICATION; ATTORNEY IN FACT; PROXY
     6.1. Account Verification. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and after the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may at any time, in the Collateral Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Collateral Agent, or in the name of any Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of any such Grantor, parties to contracts with any such Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments of any such Grantor to verify with such Persons, to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables; provided, that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Grantors prior to contacting Account Debtors.
     6.2. Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action.
          (a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent and appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Collateral or with securities intermediaries holding Pledged Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to give the Collateral Agent Control over such Pledged Collateral, (v) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Section 7.4, (vi) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder), (vii) to contact Account Debtors for any reason, (viii) to demand payment or enforce payment of the Receivables in the name of the Collateral Agent or such Grantor and to endorse any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, (ix) to sign such Grantor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Receivables, drafts against any Account Debtor of the Grantor, assignments and verifications of Receivables, (x) to exercise all of such Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral, (xi) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables, (xii) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables, (xiii) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor of such Grantor, (xiv) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables, (xv) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Grantor to such address as the Collateral Agent may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor, and (xvi) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Security Agreement; and such Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent in

19


 

connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that this authorization shall not relieve such Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Indenture.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing authorization, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to prepare or file any financing statements whatsoever, or to maintain the perfection of the security interest granted hereunder.
          (b) All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Holders, under this Section 6.2 are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Holder to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent agrees that, except for the powers granted in Section 6.2(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) and Section 6.2(a)(xvi), it shall not exercise any power or authority granted to it unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
     6.3. Proxy. SUBJECT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.2 ABOVE) WITH RESPECT TO ITS PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT.
     6.4. Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS ARTICLE VI IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.14. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE COLLATERAL AGENT, NOR ANY HOLDER, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED, THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
ARTICLE VII
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS, SECURITIES ACCOUNTS, LOCK BOXES;
COLLECTION AND APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS
     7.1. Perfected Security Interests in Accounts. After the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent will have a valid, enforceable, perfected first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in all Accounts (including the Collection Account), the Deposit Accounts, the Securities Accounts and Lock Boxes by Control. No Grantor has granted or shall grant Control of any Account (including the Collection Account), the Deposit Accounts, the Securities Accounts or the Lock Boxes (in each case, including an Excluded Account) to any person other than the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent

20


 

to secure the Secured Obligations (as defined herein, with respect to the Collateral Agent, and as defined in the Credit Agreement, with respect to the Administrative Agent).
     7.2. Covenant Regarding New Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Lock Boxes. Before opening or replacing any Deposit Account or Securities Account, or establishing a new Lock Box, each Grantor shall (a) ensure that such action complies with the Indenture (or, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, shall obtain in writing the consent of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) to the opening of such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Lock Box, and (b) cause each bank or financial institution in which it seeks to open a Deposit Account, Securities Account or Lock Box (in each case, other than an Excluded Account) to enter into a Control Agreement with the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) in order to give the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, dominion and control over such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Lock Box.
     7.3. Application of Proceeds; Deficiency. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, in the case of any sale or other disposition of Collateral by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its remedies provided herein or in any other Collateral Document, the proceeds of such sale shall be applied (and allocated) by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Indenture. In the event that the proceeds from any sale or other disposition of Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations in full, the Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by the Collateral Agents or any Holder to collect such deficiency.
ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
     8.1. Waivers. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent or any Holder arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or such Holder as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any Holder, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
     8.2. Limitation on Collateral Agent’s and Holders’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Holder shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or such Holder, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition

21


 

of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.
     Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under this Security Agreement and under each of the underlying contracts to which such Grantor is a party described herein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Security Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders of any of their rights, remedies or powers hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under this Security Agreement or such underlying contracts described herein and (c) neither the Noteholders nor the Trustee shall have any obligation or liability under such underlying contracts by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement, nor shall the Noteholders or the Trustee be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the Grantors hereunder or any of the contracts described herein.
     Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. Nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Grantors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.
     The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers vested in it by this Security Agreement, at the request, order or direction of any Required Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Security Agreement, unless such Required Holders shall have offered to the Collateral Agent reasonable

22


 

security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) which might be incurred therein or thereby.
     In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any duty for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause it to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause it to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to any Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for any real property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including the Collateral Agent, the Required Holders shall direct the Collateral Agent to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent who such Required Holders shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, such real property.
     8.3. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.
     8.4. Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and the Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.
     8.5. Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.1(d), 4.1(e), 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 5.3, or 8.7 or in Article VII will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Holders, that the Collateral Agent and Holders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Collateral Agent or the Holders to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.
     8.6. Dispositions Not Authorized. No Grantor is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1(d) and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Grantor and the Collateral Agent or other conduct of the Collateral Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 4.1(d)) shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Collateral Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Holders.

23


 

     8.7. No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or any Holder to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Collateral Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Holders required under Section 9.02 of the Indenture, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Collateral Agent and the Holders until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
     8.8. Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in any this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.
     8.9. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
     8.10. Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the Holders and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (except in connection with a Change of Control). No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Holders, hereunder.
     8.11. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.
     8.12. Taxes and Expenses. Any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled payable by Federal or State authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Grantors, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all out-of-pocket expenses and internal charges (including reasonable attorneys’, auditors’ and accountants’ fees and reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants who may be employees of the Collateral Agent) paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.

24


 

     8.13. Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.
     8.14. Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until (i) the Indenture has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.
     8.15. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.
     8.16. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.
     8.17. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER SECOND PRIORITY DOCUMENT AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY HOLDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY GRANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY GRANTOR AGAINST THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY HOLDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE AGENT OR ANY HOLDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER SECOND PRIORITY DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK.
     8.18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH HOLDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER SECOND PRIORITY DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.
     8.19. Indemnity. Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Holders, and their respective successors, assigns, agents and employees, from and against any and all liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs, and expenses of any kind and nature (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Collateral Agent or any Holder is a party thereto) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent or the Holders, or their respective successors, assigns, agents and employees, in any way relating to or arising out of the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent or the Holders in accordance with the terms of this Security Agreement, or the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition of any Collateral (including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by the Collateral Agent or the Holders or any Grantor, and any claim for Patent, Trademark or Copyright infringement).

25


 

     8.20. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Security Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
     8.21. Post-Closing Matters. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and consents that the documents and deliverables set forth in Exhibit H will be provided by the party responsible therefor in the manner set forth in such Exhibit on or prior to the due date specified in such Exhibit.

        This entity is the owner of record of an Indian trademark registration for “WARNER ELECTRIC.” The assignment of the registration from Dana Corporation to Warner Electric Technology, Inc. and the subsequent name change from Warner Electric Technology, Inc. to Warner Electric Technology LLC have been submitted for recordation. Dana Corporation is also the owner of record of a Canadian trademark registration for “DISC-O-TORQUE” relating to TB Woods. No action has been taken to address the change in ownership of this registration in view of instructions given in 2000 to a prior law firm for TB Woods to allow the registration to lapse (the registration actually remains in force until 2015.

Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
          SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings.
     (a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. Any Protective Advance, any Overadvance and any Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04 and 2.05.
     (b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of CBFR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower Representative may request in accordance herewith, provided that all Borrowings made on the Effective Date must be made as CBFR Borrowings but may be converted into Eurodollar Borrowings in accordance with Section 2.08. Each Swingline Loan shall be a CBFR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
     (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. CBFR Revolving Borrowings may be in any amount. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five (5) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.
     (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower Representative shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
          SECTION 2.03. Requests for Revolving Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request either in writing (delivered by hand or facsimile) in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative or by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of a CBFR Borrowing, not later than noon, Chicago time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of a CBFR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e) may be given not later than 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:
     (i) the name of the applicable Borrower;
     (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing and a breakdown of the separate wires comprising such Borrowing;

- 26 -


 

     (v) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”
If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be a CBFR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower(s) shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
          SECTION 2.04. Protective Advances.
     (a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of all Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed $5,000,000; provided further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances shall not cause the Aggregate Credit Exposure to exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be CBFR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b).
     (b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.
          SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans and Overadvances.
     (a) The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Revolving Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after the Borrower Representative requests a CBFR Borrowing, the Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing Request by advancing, on

- 27 -


 

behalf of the Revolving Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the Borrowers, on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(d). Each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other CBFR Loans funded by the Revolving Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own account. In addition, the Borrowers hereby authorize the Swingline Lender to, and the Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice required), not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on each Business Day, make available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to the Funding Account(s), the proceeds of a Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay items to be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account that day (as determined based on notice from the Administrative Agent). The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan exceeds Availability (before giving effect to such Swingline Loan). All Swingline Loans shall be CBFR Borrowings.
     (b) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, in amounts that exceed Availability (any such excess Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “Overadvances”); provided that, no Overadvance shall result in a Default due to Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance. In addition, Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied. All Overadvances shall constitute CBFR Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000,000 at any time, no Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than sixty days and no Overadvance shall cause any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment; provided that, the Required Revolving Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.
     (c) Upon the making of a Swingline Loan or an Overadvance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan or Overadvance), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan or Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Commitment. The Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the Revolving Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan.
     (d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Revolving Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the Revolving Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 noon Chicago time on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Revolving Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which

- 28 -


 

Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07.
          SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit.
     (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or for the account of another Loan Party, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Loan Parties to, or entered into by the Loan Parties with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
     (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Representative shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the applicable Loan Party also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit and (iv) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base.
     (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided, that, in the case of any Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the Maturity Date (including any Letter of Credit subject to automatic renewal or extension), on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall have provided the Administrative Agent with cash collateral in an amount equal to 103% of the sum of (x) the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit and (y) the amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements with respect thereto.
     (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank

- 29 -


 

or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
     (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers Representative shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative receives such notice; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with a CBFR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting CBFR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of CBFR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
     (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ joint and several obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever,

- 30 -


 

whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
     (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Loan Party by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
     (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to CBFR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
     (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or

- 31 -


 

to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
     (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived.
          SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings.
     (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s); provided that CBFR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent.
     (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable

- 32 -


 

Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to CBFR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
          SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections.
     (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.
     (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or by electronic transmission of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request (whether telephonic or by electronic transmission) shall be irrevocable and each telephonic request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile, or electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative.
     (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
     (i) the Borrower and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
     (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
     (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a CBFR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
     (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

- 33 -


 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
     (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
     (e) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
          SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments.
     (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
     (b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
     (c) The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base.
     (d) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

- 34 -


 

     (e) The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the Revolving Commitment by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrower, may make a maximum of 3 such requests, (iii) the Administrative Agent has approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (iv) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (v) the procedure described in Section 2.09(f) have been satisfied.
     (f) Any supplement hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lender(s) being added or increasing their Commitment, subject only to the approval of all Lenders if any such increase would cause the Revolving Commitment to exceed $65,000,000. As a condition precedent to such an increase, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default exists.
     (g) Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Commitment Schedule to reflect such increase and shall distribute such revised Commitment Schedule to each of the Lenders and the Borrowers, whereupon such revised Commitment Schedule shall replace the old Commitment Schedule and become part of this Agreement. On the Business Day following any such increase, all outstanding CBFR Advances shall be reallocated among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective revised Applicable Percentages. Eurodollar Advances shall not be reallocated among the Lenders prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in effect at the time of any such increase.
          SECTION 2.10. Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
     (a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Overadvance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent.
     (b) At all times that Full Cash Dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 5.12(d), on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to the Collection Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available) as follows: (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, first to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans), third to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure, and fourth the balance, if any, to the Borrowers’ general operating account; or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18(b).
     (c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan

- 35 -


 

made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
     (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
     (e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
     (f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
          SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.
     (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.
     (b) Except for Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05, in the event and on such occasion that the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving Commitments or (B) the Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
     (c) At all times that Full Cash Dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 5.12(d), the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans and cash collateralize the LC Exposure in accordance with Section 2.10(b).
     (d) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of a Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by such Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(e) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds, provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, if the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Loan Parties intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 180 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire (or replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) to be used in the business of the Loan Parties, and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then either (i) so long as Full Cash Dominion is not in effect pursuant to Section 5.12(d), no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate or (ii) if Full Cash Dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 5.12(d), if the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate are to be applied by (A) the Borrowers, then such Net Proceeds

- 36 -


 

shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans (without a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitment) and upon such application, the Administrative Agent shall establish a Reserve against the Borrowing Base in an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds so applied and (B) any Loan Party that is not a Borrower, then such Net Proceeds shall be deposited in a cash collateral account and in either case, thereafter, such funds shall be made available to the applicable Loan Party as follows:
     (1) the Borrower Representative shall request a Revolving Loan (specifying that the request is to use Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section) or the applicable Loan Party shall request a release from the cash collateral account be made in the amount needed;
     (2) so long as the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been met, the Revolving Lenders shall make such Revolving Loan or the Administrative Agent shall release funds from the cash collateral account; and
     (3) in the case of Net Proceeds applied against the Revolving Loan, the Reserve established with respect to such insurance proceeds shall be reduced by the amount of such Revolving Loan;
provided that to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such 180-day period, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied; provided, further that the Borrowers shall not be permitted to make elections to use Net Proceeds to acquire (or replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) with respect to Net Proceeds in any fiscal year in an aggregate amount in excess of $5,000,000.
     (e) All such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(d) shall be applied, first to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure.
     (f) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a CBFR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
          SECTION 2.12. Fees.
     (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments terminate, which

- 37 -


 

commitment fee shall be calculated based upon the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender for the immediately preceding month. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.
     (b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, which participation fee shall accrue at the rate separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar month shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.
     (c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
     (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
          SECTION 2.13. Interest.
     (a) The Loans comprising each CBFR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
     (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
     (c) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans plus 2%.
     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower Representative (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or

- 38 -


 

(ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder.
     (e) Accrued interest on each Loan (for CBFR Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar month) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a CBFR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
     (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The CB Floating Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
          SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
     (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or
     (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a CBFR Borrowing.
          SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs.
     (a) If any Change in Law shall:
     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or
     (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case

- 39 -


 

may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
     (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
     (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
     (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
          SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive

- 40 -


 

absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
          SECTION 2.17. Taxes.
     (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
     (b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
     (c) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     (d) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank shall indemnify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17(f). Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.17(d).
     (e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
     (f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed

- 41 -


 

by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
     (g) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.
          SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.
     (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street, 22nd Floor, Chicago, Illinois, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.
     (b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account when Full Cash Dominion is in effect (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) and

unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably, seventh, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations, and ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding CBFR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations.
     (c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.
     (d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

     (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
     (f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and apply any such amounts to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder; application of amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be made in such order as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.”
          SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
     (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment).
     (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender) pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior

     (b) the Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
     (c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
     (i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; and

     (iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.20(c), the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

     (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

     (e) in the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
          SECTION 2.21. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds.

ARTICLE VIII.
The Administrative Agent
          Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
          The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
          The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
          The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts

- 73 -


 

selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
          The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall 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 hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
          Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

          Neither the Sole Bookrunner nor the Sole Lead Arranger have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

     (c) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.
          SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.
     (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
     (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders or, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (provided that the Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances as set forth in Section 2.04), (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base or add new categories of eligible assets, without the written consent of each Revolving Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) change Section 2.20, without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (viii) release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (ix) except as provided in clauses (d) and (e) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank). The Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.

- 76 -


 

     (c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of any Loan Party that is Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty provided by such Loan Party, (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $5,000,000 during any fiscal year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.
     (d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
          SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
     (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges

and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses of the Administrative Agent that the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:
     (i) appraisals (subject to the limits set forth in Section 5.11(a);
     (ii) insurance reviews;
     (iii) field examinations (subject to the limits set forth in Section 5.11(b)) and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination;
     (iv) taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien and title searches and title insurance and (B) recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative Agent’s Liens;
     (v) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and
     (vi) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral.
All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c).
     (b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, incremental taxes, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, (iv) the failure of the Borrowers to deliver to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by the Borrowers for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17(a), (b), (c), (e), (f) or (g), or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
     (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).

     (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender.

The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
          SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

          SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
          SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or such Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
          SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
     (a) The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks.

     (c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
     (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
          SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

          ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT HOLDINGS, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
          SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of Law.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

          SECTION 9.17. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
ARTICLE X.
Loan Guaranty
          SECTION 10.01. Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.
          SECTION 10.02. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.
          SECTION 10.03. No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.
     (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of

- 85 -


 

any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.
     (b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.
     (c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).
          SECTION 10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any other person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.
          SECTION 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders.
          SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the

- 86 -


 

insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.
          SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.
          SECTION 10.08. Termination. The Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of that Guaranteed Obligations.
          SECTION 10.09. Taxes. All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
          SECTION 10.10. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”. This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.
          SECTION 10.11. Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any

realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.
          SECTION 10.12. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
ARTICLE XI.

          SECTION 11.01. Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The Company is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XI. Additionally, the Borrowers hereby appoint the Borrower Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans in the Funding Account(s), at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the appropriate Borrower, provided that, in the case of a Revolving Loan, such amount shall not exceed such Borrower’s Availability. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall not be liable to the Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.01.
          SECTION 11.02. Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative.

- 88 -


 

          SECTION 11.03. Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through authorized officers.
          SECTION 11.04. Notices. Each Borrower shall immediately notify the Borrower Representative of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Borrower Representative receives such a notice, the Borrower Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by the Borrower Representative.
          SECTION 11.05. Successor Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to the Lenders.
          SECTION 11.06. Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowers hereby empower and authorize the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Borrowing Base Certificates and the Compliance Certificates. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers.
          SECTION 11.07. Reporting. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower shall furnish promptly after each fiscal month to the Borrower Representative a copy of its Borrowing Base Certificate and any other certificate or report required hereunder or requested by the Borrower Representative on which the Borrower Representative shall rely to prepare the Borrowing Base Certificates and Compliance Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(“Holdings”), Altra Industrial Motion, Inc.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Compliance Certificate have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.
  THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY CERTIFIES, ON ITS BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWERS, THAT:
     1. I am the duly elected [          ] of the Borrower Representative;
     2. Attached as Schedule I hereto are the [audited] consolidated financial statements of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal [year/quarter/month] ended [___] {the “Accounting Period”) required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01[_] of the Credit Agreement. I have reviewed the terms of the Agreement and I have made, or have caused to be made under my supervision, a detailed review of the transactions and conditions of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the Accounting Period [for quarterly or monthly financial statements add: and such financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject to (i) normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes and (ii) those exceptions to GAAP as shall be expressly identified in such financial statements];
     3. The examinations described in paragraph 2 did not disclose, except as set forth below, and I have no knowledge of (i) the existence of any condition or event which constitutes a Default during or at the end of the Accounting Period or as of the date of this Certificate or (ii) any change in GAAP or in the application thereof that has occurred since the date of the audited financial statements referred to in Section 3.04 of the Agreement;
     4. I hereby certify that no Loan Party has changed (i) its name, (ii) its chief executive office, (iii) principal place of business, (iv) the type of entity it is, (v) its organization identification number, if any, issued by its state of incorporation or other organization or (v) its state of incorporation or organization without having given the Agent the notice required by Section 4.15 of the Security Agreement; and
     5. Set forth on Schedule II attached hereto is a true, correct and complete calculation of the Loan Parties’ Available Liquidity during the period of two consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date of this Compliance Certificate. During the Accounting Period, the Loan Parties have complied with each of the requirements set forth in Sections 6.04(c), 6.04(d) and 6.04(e).
Exhibit C

 


 

     6. Check one of the following options based upon (i) whether a Fixed Charge Coverage Covenant Period is in effect as described in Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) whether the Borrowers had LC Exposure equal to or in excess of $20,000,000, or outstanding Revolving Loans, or both:
         
 
  o   As of the last day of the Accounting Period, a Fixed Charge Coverage Covenant Period is in effect, and therefore, the Loan Parties are required to comply with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the attached Schedule III sets forth financial data and computations evidencing the Loan Parties’ compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.12 of the Agreement, all of which data and computations are true, complete and correct.
 
       
 
  o   As of the last day of the Accounting Period, a Fixed Charge Coverage Covenant Period is not in effect, and therefore, the Loan Parties are not required to comply with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding such fact, as of the last day of the Accounting Period, [the Borrowers had LC Exposure equal to or in excess of $20,000,000] / [the Borrowers had outstanding Revolving Loans] / [the Borrowers had LC Exposure equal to or in excess of $20,000,000, and outstanding Revolving Loans]. Accordingly, the attached Schedule III sets forth (for informational purposes only) financial data and computations evidencing the Loan Parties’ compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.12 of the Agreement.
 
       
 
  o   As of the last day of the Accounting Period, a Fixed Charge Coverage Covenant Period is not in effect, and therefore, the Loan Parties are not required to comply with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Borrowers had LC Exposure less than $20,000,000 and no outstanding Revolving Loans. Accordingly, the Loan Parties are not required to set forth financial data and computations evidencing the Loan Parties’ compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.12 of the Agreement.
     Described below are the exceptions, if any, to paragraph 3 by listing, in detail, the (i) nature of the condition or event, the period during which it has existed and the action which the Borrowers have taken, are taking, or propose to take with respect to each such condition or event or (ii) the change in GAAP or the application thereof and the effect of such change on the attached financial statements:

(Disclosed Matters)
(a) None
(b)
Environmental Reports
          Findings or conditions disclosed in environmental reports to be delivered to the Administrative Agent on a post-closing basis which do not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Other Environmental Matters
    One of the Loan Parties or their affiliates formerly owned a site in Roscoe, Illinois, which is known to have contamination associated with the release of chlorinated solvents. Dana Corporation, which formerly owned the Roscoe facility and sold it to Colfax Corporation, is responsible for remediating the contamination in the area of the former plant. It is the Loan Parties’ understanding that the remediation is being done pursuant to an order. In 2004, Colfax Corporation sold the power transmission business to the Company and retained ownership of the Roscoe, Illinois property and any losses arising from the ownership of the Roscoe, Illinois property. Note, the contamination did not occur while the Loan Parties or their affiliates owned or operated the site.
 
    A Liability Determination Report dated December 15, 1995 was issued by the Michigan Department of Environmental Qualify, Environmental Response Division, Saginaw Bay District Headquarters with respect to 801 E. Industrial Drive, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan that indicated that solid and groundwater at the facility was contaminated with hazardous substances.
 
    Ingersoll-Rand’s environmental consulting division continues to monitor wells at Kilian Manufacturing Corporation’s Syracuse and Toronto plants.
 
    As with most manufacturers, the Loan Parties generate hazardous wastes, which are transported off site for treatment or disposal. A party that arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous wastes may be liable for the cost of remediating if the disposal or treatment site becomes contaminated.

NOTES:
American Enterprises MPT L.P.
This entity is the owner of record of a pair of Canadian registrations. The changes in the company’s name from American Enterprises MPT L.P. to Ameridrives International L.P. (on 04/25/1997) and later from Ameridrives International L.P. to Ameridrives International LLC (on 12/21/2005) have not yet been recorded against the registrations.
Dana Corporation
This entity is the owner of record of an Indian trademark registration for “WARNER ELECTRIC.” The assignment of the registration from Dana Corporation to Warner Electric Technology, Inc. and the subsequent name change from Warner Electric Technology, Inc. to Warner Electric Technology LLC have been submitted for recordation. Dana Corporation is also the owner of record of a Canadian trademark registration for “DISC-O-TORQUE” relating to TB Woods. No action has been taken to address the change in ownership of this registration in view of instructions given in 2000 to a prior law firm for TB Woods to allow the registration to lapse (the registration actually remains in force until 2015.
Emerson Power Transmission Corp.
This entity is the owner of record on a Mexican registration for “GFR.” Assignments from Emerson Power Transmission Corp. to Dana Holdings GmbH and from Dana Holdings GmbH to Warner Electric Technology LLC have been submitted for recordation and the process is ongoing.
IMO Industries, Inc.
This entity is the owner of record on a pair of Mexican registrations for “BOSTON GEAR”. An assignment of the Mexican registrations to Boston Gear LLC is in the process of being recorded.
Warner Electric Technology, Inc.
A number of patents and trademarks owned by Warner Electric Technology LLC remain in the former name (Warner Electric Technology, Inc.) of the company on the records of various foreign patent and trademark offices. Efforts to record the change in name are in progress with respect to some of the patents and trademarks. For others, a conscious decision was made to hold off on recordation pending some other action relating to the property (e.g., the next renewal of a trademark registration).

          (b) Such Grantor will permit the Administrative Agent from time to time to cause the appropriate issuers (and, if held with a securities intermediary, such securities intermediary) of uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged Collateral owned by it not represented by certificates to mark their books and records with the numbers and face amounts of all such uncertificated securities or other types of Pledged Collateral not represented by certificates and all rollovers and replacements therefor to reflect the Lien of the Administrative Agent granted pursuant to this Security Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, such Grantor will, with respect to any such Pledged Collateral held with a securities intermediary, cause such securities intermediary to enter into a control agreement with the Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, giving the Administrative Agent Control.
          (c) Each Grantor that is an issuer of uncertificated securities which constitute Pledged Collateral hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have “control” over such uncertificated securities within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC, (ii) such Grantor shall comply with all instructions originated by the Administrative Agent regarding such uncertificated securities, (iii) such Grantor shall market its books and records to reflect the Lien of the Administrative Agent in such uncertificated securities, and (iv) such Grantor shall not register any transfer of any portion of such uncertificated securities to any Person other than to another Grantor or to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s designee.

          (c) Registration of Pledged Collateral. Such Grantor will permit any registrable Pledged Collateral owned by it to be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee at any time at the option of the Required Secured Parties.

          (i) Without in any way limiting the foregoing and subject to clause (ii) below, such Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral owned by it for all purposes not inconsistent with this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided however, that no vote or other right shall be exercised or action taken which would have the effect of impairing the rights of the Administrative Agent in respect of such Pledged Collateral.
          (ii) Such Grantor will permit the Administrative Agent or its nominee at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral owned by it, including, without limitation, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any Equity Interest or Investment Property constituting such Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof.
          (iii) Such Grantor shall be entitled to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral owned by it to the extent not in violation of the Credit Agreement other than any of the following distributions and payments (collectively referred to as the “Excluded Payments”): (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of such Pledged Collateral, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of such Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital of an issuer; and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, such Pledged Collateral; provided however, that until actually paid, all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Security Agreement; and
          (iv) All Excluded Payments and all other distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral owned by such Grantor, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor, and be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
     4.7. Intellectual Property.
          (a) Such Grantor will use its best efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or benefit of the Administrative Agent of any License held by such Grantor and to enforce the security interests granted hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any License for the use of intellectual property where such License is for the use of intellectual property that is commercially available.
          (b) Such Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent immediately if it knows or has reason to know that any application or registration relating to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (now or hereafter existing) may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court) regarding such Grantor’s

ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.
          (c) In no event shall such Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency without giving the Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof, and, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver any and all security agreements as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s first priority security interest on such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.
          (d) Such Grantor shall take all actions necessary or requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of its Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings, except if such Patent, Trademark or Copyright is not material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business.
          (e) Such Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright is in no way material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other actions as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Patent, Trademark or Copyright. In the event that such Grantor institutes suit because any of its Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights constituting Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall comply with Section 4.8.
          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, not later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, such Grantor shall (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent the results of patent and trademark searches of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office databases, evidencing its ownership of all Patents and Trademarks held by such Grantor, together with a true, correct and complete listing of all Patents and Trademarks (including any licenses of the foregoing) in which such Grantor has an ownership interest, which listing shall be attached to this Security Agreement as Exhibit D, and (ii) execute and deliver in favor of the Administrative Agent (x) a patent security agreement and (y) a trademark security agreement, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
     4.8. Commercial Tort Claims. Such Grantor shall promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the same is acquired by it, notify the Administrative Agent of any Commercial Tort Claim acquired by it having a value in excess of $500,000 and, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, such Grantor shall enter into an amendment to this Security Agreement, in the form of Exhibit G hereto, granting to Administrative Agent a first priority security interest in such commercial tort claim.

     4.11. No Interference. Such Grantor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Administrative Agent provided for in this Security Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.
     4.12. Insurance.
          (a) In the event any Collateral is located in any area that has been designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a “Special Flood Hazard Area”, such Grantor shall purchase and maintain flood insurance on such Collateral (including any personal property which is located on any real property leased by such Loan Party within a “Special Flood Hazard Area”). The amount of flood insurance required by this Section shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of the total Commitment or the total replacement cost value of the improvements.
          (b) All insurance policies required hereunder and under Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement shall name the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) as an additional insured or as loss payee, as applicable, and shall contain loss payable clauses or mortgagee clauses, through endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which provide that: (i) all proceeds thereunder with respect to any Collateral shall be payable to the Administrative Agent to be held, remitted to the Grantors or applied against the Secured Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement; (ii) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy; and (iii) such policy and loss payable or mortgagee clauses may be canceled, amended, or terminated only upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice given to the Administrative Agent.
          (c) All premiums on any such insurance shall be paid when due by such Grantor, and copies of the policies delivered to the Administrative Agent. If such Grantor fails to obtain any insurance as required by this Section, the Administrative Agent may obtain such insurance at the Grantor’s expense. By purchasing such insurance, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any Default arising from the Grantor’s failure to maintain such insurance or pay any premiums therefor.
     4.13. Collateral Access Agreements. Such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, within 120 days following the Closing Date, a Collateral Access Agreement, from (x) the lessor of each leased property and (y) from any bailee or consignee with respect to any warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location, in each case where inventory having a fair market value in excess of $500,000 is stored or located or where machinery or equipment having a fair market value in excess of $500,000 is stored or located, which agreement or letter shall provide access rights, contain a waiver or subordination of all Liens or claims that the landlord, bailee or consignee may assert against the Collateral at that location, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent. After the Closing Date, no real property or warehouse space shall be leased by such Grantor and no Inventory shall be shipped to a processor or converter under arrangements established after the Closing Date, unless and until a satisfactory Collateral Access Agreement shall first have been obtained with respect to such location (unless the fair market value of the inventory at such location, or the fair market value of the machinery and equipment at such location, is less than $500,000). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Collateral Access Agreement has not been obtained with respect to any location where inventory is stored or located, Eligible Inventory at that location shall be subject to the establishment of Reserves acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Such Grantor shall timely and fully pay and perform its obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each leased location or third party warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located.
     4.14. Control Agreements. Such Grantor will provide to the Administrative Agent Control Agreements to the extent required under Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement.
     4.15. Change of Name or Location; Change of Fiscal Year. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall not (a) change its name as it appears in official filings in the state of its incorporation or organization, (b) change its chief executive office, principal place of business, mailing address, corporate offices or warehouses or locations at which Collateral is held or stored, or the

14


 

location of its records concerning the Collateral as set forth in the Security Agreement, (c) change the type of entity that it is, (d) change its organization identification number, if any, issued by its state of incorporation or other organization, or (e) change its state of incorporation or organization, in each case, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of such change and the Administrative Agent shall have acknowledged in writing that either (1) such change will not adversely affect the validity, perfection or priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, or (2) any reasonable action requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith has been completed or taken (including any action to continue the perfection of any Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, in any Collateral), provided that, any new location shall be in the continental U.S. Such Grantor shall not change its fiscal year which currently ends on December 31.
     4.16. Assigned Contracts. Such Grantor will use its best efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent of any Assigned Contract held by such Grantor and to enforce the security interests granted hereunder, except where the failure to obtain such consent or approval could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Such Grantor shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of its Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce all of its rights and remedies thereunder, in each case, as it deems appropriate in its business judgment; provided however, that such Grantor shall not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to its Assigned Contracts which would cause the termination of an Assigned Contract unless the Grantor shall have reasonably determined that the termination of such Assigned Contract would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Grantor shall take all action necessary or appropriate to permit, and shall not take any action which would have any materially adverse effect upon, the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under its Assigned Contracts. Such Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing, promptly after such Grantor becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a claim by it for indemnification in an amount in excess of $500,000 under any of its Assigned Contracts, and shall diligently pursue such right to recover such claim and report to the Administrative Agent on all further developments with respect thereto. If Full Cash Dominion shall be in effect, such Grantor shall deposit into a Deposit Account at the Administrative Agent or subject to a Control Agreement for application to the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement, all amounts received by such Grantor as indemnification or otherwise pursuant to its Assigned Contracts. If such Grantor shall fail after the Administrative Agent’s demand to pursue diligently any right under its Assigned Contracts, or if an Event of Default then exists, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Secured Parties shall, directly enforce such right in its own or such Grantor’s name and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent or the Required Secured Parties, as applicable, shall determine. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under any Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, such Grantor shall indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaims, recoupment, or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by such Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from such Grantor to or in favor of such obligor or its successors. All such obligations of such Grantor shall be and remain enforceable only against such Grantor and shall not be enforceable against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, such Grantor shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its duties and obligations under its Assigned Contracts, and the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise of any of their respective rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release such Grantor from any of such duties and obligations. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to perform or fulfill any of such Grantor’s duties or obligations under its Assigned Contracts or to make any payment thereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment or property received by it thereunder or the sufficiency of performance by any party thereunder, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance, any payment of any amounts, or any delivery of any property.

          (a) Any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of any Grantor under or in connection with this Security Agreement shall be materially false as of the date on which made.
          (b) The breach by any Grantor of any of the terms or provisions of Article IV or Article VII.
          (c) The breach by any Grantor (other than a breach which constitutes an Event of Default under any other Section of this Article V) of any of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement which is not remedied within twenty (20) days after such breach.
          (d) The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under, and as defined in, the Credit Agreement.
          (e) Any Equity Interest which is included within the Collateral shall at any time constitute a Security or the issuer of any such Equity Interest shall take any action to have such interests treated as a Security unless (i) all certificates or other documents constituting such Security have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and such Security is properly defined as such under Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction, whether as a result of actions by the issuer thereof or otherwise, or (ii) the Administrative Agent has entered into a control agreement with the issuer of such Security or with a securities intermediary relating to such Security and such Security is defined as such under Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction, whether as a result of actions by the issuer thereof or otherwise.
     5.2. Remedies.
          (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:
          (i) those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided that, this Section 5.2(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to an Event of Default;
          (ii) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;
          (iii) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Control Agreement or and other control agreement with any securities intermediary and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral;
          (iv) without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for

16


 

future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable; and
          (v) concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof.
          (b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
          (c) The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.
          (d) Until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.
          (e) If, after the Credit Agreement has terminated by its terms and all of the Obligations have been paid in full, there remain Swap Obligations outstanding, the Required Secured Parties may exercise the remedies provided in this Section 5.2 upon the occurrence of any event which would allow or require the termination or acceleration of any Swap Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Swap Agreement.
          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.
          (g) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.
     5.3. Grantor’s Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:

          (d) take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable the Administrative Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral; and
          (e) at its own expense, cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by each Grantor to prepare and deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, at any time, and from time to time, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the following reports with respect to the applicable Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts.

ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNT VERIFICATION; ATTORNEY IN FACT; PROXY
     6.1. Account Verification. The Administrative Agent may at any time, in the Administrative Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Administrative Agent, or in the name of any Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of any such Grantor, parties to contracts with any such Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments of any such Grantor to verify with such Persons, to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables; provided that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Grantors prior to contacting Account Debtors.

          (a) Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Collateral or with securities intermediaries holding Pledged Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to give the Administrative Agent Control over such Pledged Collateral, (v) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Administrative Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Section 7.4, (vi) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder), (vii) to contact Account Debtors for any reason, (viii) to demand payment or enforce payment of the Receivables in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Grantor and to endorse any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, (ix) to sign such Grantor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Receivables, drafts against any Account Debtor of the Grantor, assignments and verifications of Receivables, (x) to exercise all of such Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral, (xi) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables, (xii) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables, (xiii) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor of such Grantor, (xiv) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables, (xv) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Grantor to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor, and (xvi) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Security Agreement; and such Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that, this authorization shall not relieve such Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.
          (b) All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders, under this Section 6.2 are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent agrees that, except for the powers granted in Section 6.2(a)(i)-(vi), 6.2(a)(vii) solely with respect to periodic account verifications with prior notice to the Grantors, and Section 6.2(a)(xvi), it shall not exercise any power or authority granted to it unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
     6.3. Proxy. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.2 ABOVE) WITH RESPECT TO ITS PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER

19


 

THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT.
     6.4. Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS ARTICLE VI IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.14. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, NOR ANY LENDER, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
ARTICLE VII
COLLECTION AND APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS; DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS,
SECURITIES ACCOUNTS, LOCK BOXES
     7.1. Collection of Receivables. As of the date of this Security Agreement, all Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and postal lock boxes (“Lock Boxes”) established by the Grantors with any banking institution, securities broker, securities intermediary or other financial institution are listed on Exhibit B hereto. Each Grantor has and will continue to direct its Account Debtors to remit cash, checks, electronic funds transfers and other similar payments relating to or constituting payments made in respect of Receivables directly to a Lock Box. Such Lock Box shall be subject to an irrevocable lockbox agreement in the form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank where the Lock Box is located of the Lien of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder and of irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to the Collection Account during an Availability Trigger Period pursuant to Section 7.2 (a “Lock Box Agreement”). If any Grantor should refuse or neglect to notify any Account Debtor to forward payments directly to a Lock Box after notice from the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such notification directly to such Account Debtor.
     7.2. Application of Funds During an Availability Trigger Period. At all times during an Availability Trigger Period, the Grantors shall comply and shall cause the Cash Management Bank to comply with the provisions of Section 5.12(d) of the Credit Agreement. At all times during an Availability Trigger Period, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (i) to declare that Full Cash Dominion is in effect, (ii) to give a notice of sole control or other instruction under any Control Agreement, (iii) to notify each banking institution, securities broker or securities intermediary (including the Cash Management Bank) at which any Grantor maintains any Deposit Account or Securities Account (in each case, other than Excluded Accounts), that (A) the Administrative Agent has taken full dominion and control over all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts (in each case, other than Excluded Accounts) and all funds from time to time on deposit therein, (B) such banking institutions, securities brokers and securities intermediaries shall follow all instructions given by the Administrative Agent with respect to such Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, and (C) such banking institutions shall remit directly to the Collection Account (or to such other account as the Administrative Agent may direct), on a daily basis (or on such other basis as the Administrative Agent shall direct) all funds from time to time deposited into such Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, and (iv) to automatically apply, on a daily basis, all funds remitted to the Collection Account (or to such other account as the Administrative Agent shall so direct), from all such Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, and all other proceeds of the Collateral, to repay the Loans and other Obligations in accordance with Sections 2.11 and 2.18 of the Credit Agreement.

20


 

     7.3. Covenant Regarding New Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts and Lock Boxes. Before opening or replacing any Deposit Account or Securities Account, or establishing a new Lock Box, each Grantor shall (a) obtain the Administrative Agent’s consent in writing to the opening of such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Lock Box, and (b) cause each bank or financial institution in which it seeks to open a Deposit Account, Securities Account or Lock Box (in each case, other than an Excluded Account) to enter into a Control Agreement with the Administrative Agent in order to give the Administrative Agent dominion and control over such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Lock Box. In the case of Deposit Accounts or Lock Boxes maintained with Lenders, the terms of such letter shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement regarding setoffs.
     7.4. Application of Proceeds; Deficiency. In the case of any sale or other disposition of Collateral by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its remedies provided herein or in any other Loan Document, the proceeds of such sale shall be applied (and allocated) by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement. In the event that the proceeds from any sale or other disposition of Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations in full, the Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents or any Lender to collect such deficiency.
ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
     8.1. Waivers. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
     8.2. Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies

21


 

against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2.
     8.3. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.
     8.4. Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and the Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.
     8.5. Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.1(d), 4.1(e), 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 5.3, or 8.7 or in Article VII will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that the Administrative Agent and Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.
     8.6. Dispositions Not Authorized. No Grantor is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1(d) and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Grantor and the Administrative Agent or other conduct of the Administrative Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 4.1(d)) shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

22


 

     8.7. No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders required under Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
     8.8. Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in any this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.
     8.9. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
     8.10. Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (except in connection with a transaction permitted under Section 6.03(a) of the Credit Agreement). No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, hereunder.
     8.11. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.
     8.12. Taxes and Expenses. Any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled payable by Federal or State authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Grantors, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any and all out-of-pocket expenses and internal charges (including reasonable attorneys’, auditors’ and accountants’ fees and reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants who may be employees of the Administrative Agent) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any

23


 

periodic or special audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.
     8.13. Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.
     8.14. Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until (i) the Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full (or with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit, a cash deposit or Supporting Letter of Credit has been delivered to the Administrative Agent as required by the Credit Agreement) and no commitments of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders which would give rise to any Secured Obligations are outstanding.
     8.15. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral.
     8.16. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.
     8.17. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY GRANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY GRANTOR AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK.
     8.18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.
     8.19. Indemnity. Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors, assigns, agents and employees, from and against any and all liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs, and expenses of any kind and nature (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or their respective successors, assigns, agents and employees, in any way relating to or arising out of the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders

24


 

in accordance with the terms of this Security Agreement, or the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition of any Collateral (including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any Grantor, and any claim for Patent, Trademark or Copyright infringement).
     8.20. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Security Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
     8.21. Post Closing Matters. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and consents that the documents and deliverables set forth in Exhibit H will be provided by the party responsible therefor in the manner set forth in such exhibit on or prior to the due date specified in such exhibit.

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Security Agreement shall be sent by United States mail, telecopier, personal delivery or nationally established overnight courier service, and shall be deemed received (a) when received, if sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail notices or (b) when sent, if sent by telecopier (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient), in each case addressed to the Grantors at the notice address set forth on Exhibit A, and to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the addresses set forth in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

        Dana Corporation                            
        This entity is the owner of record of an Indian trademark registration for “WARNER ELECTRIC.” The assignment of the registration from Dana Corporation to Warner Electric Technology, Inc. and the subsequent name change from Warner Electric Technology, Inc. to Warner Electric Technology LLC have been submitted for recordation. Dana Corporation is also the owner of record of a Canadian trademark registration for “DISC-O-TORQUE” relating to TB Woods. No action has been taken to address the change in ownership of this registration in view of instructions given in 2000 to a prior law firm for TB Woods to allow the registration to lapse (the registration actually remains in force until 2015.

The Senior Agent, for itself and the Senior Lenders, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority, enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral. Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, agrees that it will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder under the Indenture Agreements, including any public or private sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, hereby waives any and all rights it may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to contest, protest, object to, interfere with the manner in which the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder seeks to enforce the Liens in any portion of the Collateral (it being understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement shall govern with respect to the Collateral even if any portion of the Liens securing the Indenture Secured Obligations are avoided, disallowed, set aside, or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or otherwise).
     Section 2.03 Remedies Standstill. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, the Senior Agent may send a Standstill Notice to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that from and after the date of the Collateral Agent’s receipt of any Standstill Notice, none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies (other than its rights under Section 2.04(d)) unless and until (a) the Senior Agent has expressly waived or acknowledged the cure of the applicable Event of Default in writing or the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations shall have occurred, or (b) 120 days shall have elapsed from the date of the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such Standstill Notice. From and after the earlier to occur of (i) the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such waiver or cure notice, or (ii) the elapsing of such 120th day period, any of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder may commence to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies (subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including the immediately succeeding sentence, Section 4.02 hereof and except with respect to any such Collateral as to which the Senior Agent is diligently effecting the collection, foreclosure, sale or other realization upon or disposition of). NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT, NONE OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY NOTEHOLDER MAY EXERCISE ANY SECURED CREDITOR REMEDIES PRIOR TO THE DISCHARGE OF FIRST PRIORITY CREDIT AGREEMENT SECURED OBLIGATIONS (X) WITH RESPECT TO ANY ITEM OF COLLATERAL SO LONG AS SENIOR AGENT HAS COMMENCED AND IS DILIGENTLY PURSUING ITS EXERCISE OF SECURED CREDITOR REMEDIES IN RESPECT OF SUCH ITEMS OF COLLATERAL, AND (Y) WITHOUT FIRST PROVIDING SENIOR AGENT AT LEAST FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS’ PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE. The Senior Agent may only send three (3) Standstill Notices following the date hereof (it being understood and agreed as clarification to the foregoing that no more than three (3) Standstill Notices may be provided whether delivered hereunder or under any corresponding provision of any other agreement similar hereto that may be delivered pursuant to Section 7.17 hereof) and no more than one (1) Standstill Notice may be given by the Senior Agent in any consecutive 365-day period. The time period during which the Collateral Agent is not permitted to

Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under this section is referred to herein as the “Standstill Period”.
     Section 2.04 Exercise of Rights.
          (a) No Other Restrictions. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Noteholders, the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have any and all rights and remedies it may have as a creditor under applicable law, including the rights to exercise all rights and remedies in foreclosure or otherwise with respect to any of the Collateral; provided, however, that any such exercise by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Noteholders, and any collection or sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Noteholders, shall be subject to the Liens of the Senior Agent on the Collateral to the extent provided in Section 2.01 and to the provisions of this Agreement including Section 4.02 hereof. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Senior Agent may enforce the provisions of the Senior Credit Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as it may determine in the exercise of its sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the sale, lease, license, or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral by private or public sale or any other means permissible under applicable law or any agreement; provided, that the Senior Agent agrees to provide copies of any notices that it is required under applicable law to deliver to Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor to the Collateral Agent; provided further, that the failure to provide any such copies to the Collateral Agent shall not impair any of the Senior Agent’s rights hereunder. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may enforce the provisions of the Indenture Agreements and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as it may determine in the exercise of its sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the sale, lease, license, or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral by private or public sale or any other means permissible under applicable law or any agreement; provided, that the Collateral Agent agrees to provide copies of any notices that it is required under applicable law to deliver to Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor to the Senior Agent until the Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred; provided further, that the failure to provide any such copies to the Senior Agent shall not impair any of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder.
          (b) Release of Liens.
          (i) In the event of any such private or public sale by the Senior Agent or its designee, the Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, that, until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, such sale will be free and clear of the Liens securing the Indenture Secured Obligations and, if the sale or other disposition includes the Equity Interests in any Borrower or any Guarantor, agrees to release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Indenture Secured Obligations so long as the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders also release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Credit Agreement Secured Obligations. In furtherance thereof, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Senior Agent in connection therewith, so long as the proceeds from such sale or other disposition of the Collateral are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
          (ii) If and to the extent that the Senior Agent or its designee releases any of its Liens on any Collateral in connection with the sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, the Liens, if any, of the Collateral Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Trustee and the Noteholders, on such

10


 

Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the Collateral Agent, for itself and for each of the Trustee and the Noteholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Senior Agent such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Senior Agent may request to effectively confirm such release in respect of such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Collateral Agent to release its Lien on such Collateral shall arise only if such sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral is effected in connection with an exercise of remedies or is permitted by (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by) the Senior Credit Documents and the terms hereof.
          (iii) In the event of any private or public sale by the Collateral Agent permitted by the terms of this Agreement following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, that such sale will be free and clear of the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and, if the sale or other disposition includes the Equity Interests in any Borrower or any Guarantor, agrees to release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Credit Agreement Secured Obligations so long as the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders also release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Indenture Secured Obligations. In furtherance thereof, the Senior Agent agrees that it will execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, so long as the proceeds from such sale or other disposition of the Collateral are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
          (iv) If and to the extent that the Collateral Agent or its designee releases any of its Liens on any Collateral in connection with the sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Liens, if any, of the Senior Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, on such Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the Senior Agent, for itself and for the Senior Lenders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Collateral Agent may request to effectively confirm such release in respect of such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Senior Agent to release its Lien on such Collateral shall arise only if such sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral is effected in connection with an exercise of remedies or is permitted by (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by) the Indenture Agreements and the terms hereof.
          (c) Except as provided in Section 3.01, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders may exercise, and nothing herein shall constitute a waiver of, any right it may have at law or equity to receive notice of, or to commence or join with any creditor in commencing any Insolvency Proceeding or to join or participate in, any action or proceeding or other activity described in Section 3.01; provided, however, that exercise of any such right by the Collateral Agent shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the obligation to turn over Collateral and Proceeds to the Senior Agent for application to the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations as provided in Section 4.02.
          (d) The Collateral Agent may make such demands or file such claims in respect of the Indenture Secured Obligations as may be necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under applicable statutes of limitations or other statutes, court orders or rules of procedure (including, without limitation, the filing of any proofs of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding), but except as provided in this Section 2.04 or otherwise in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not take any

11


 

actions restricted by this Agreement until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations shall have occurred.
          (e) Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the other provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders as if it were the Senior Agent and the Senior Agent was the Collateral Agent, mutatis mutandis.
     Section 2.05 Insurance. The parties acknowledge that at the time of execution of this Agreement the Senior Agent shall be named as loss payee and/or mortgagee under all insurance policies of Parent, the Borrowers and the Guarantors insuring the Collateral. The parties agree that following the execution of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may seek to be named as subordinate loss payee and/or subordinate mortgagee on all such insurance policies; provided that until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred (i) all such certificates and endorsements to such insurance policies that name the Collateral Agent as loss payee or mortgage shall include a legend or statement indicating that (x) the rights of the Collateral Agent to receive amounts payable under such policies are subordinate and junior to the rights of the Senior Agent to the extent set forth herein and (y) the Senior Agent shall have the exclusive right to the extent set forth herein to provide instructions to each insurer under each such policy, and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall, or shall cause the Borrowers to, provide the Senior Agent with copies of all such certificates and endorsements to such insurance policies that name the Collateral Agent as loss payee or mortgagee. Until such time as the Collateral Agent shall have obtained certificates and endorsements to all such insurance policies that name the Collateral Agent as subordinate loss payee and/or subordinate mortgagee, the Senior Agent agrees that the designation of the Senior Agent as loss payee and/or mortgagee on all such policies shall be as agent for both the holders of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and the Indenture Secured Obligations. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, subject to the terms of the Senior Credit Documents, the Senior Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, and subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) with respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the Senior Agent and shall be disbursed by the Senior Agent as follows: first, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents or unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, to Parent, Borrowers and Guarantors; second, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents or if otherwise required by the Loan Documents, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02(c) of this Agreement; and third, to the extent no Indenture Secured Obligations or Credit Agreement Secured Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, if the Collateral Agent or any holder of Indenture Secured Obligations shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent or such holder of Indenture Secured Obligations shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the Senior Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
     Section 2.06 Collateral Access Agreements.
          (a) The Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that any collateral access agreement, landlord waiver or other similar agreement (any such access agreement, waiver or other agreement, a “Collateral Access Agreement”) by and among the Senior

12


 

Agent, the Collateral Agent, Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor and any landlord or warehouse operator where any Collateral is stored or located or any other bailee, consignee or other similar Person in possession of any Collateral (any such bailee, consignee or other Person, a “Bailee”), shall be for the benefit of both (x) the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders, and (y) the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders. Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, the Senior Agent (as agent for both the holders of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and the holders of the Indenture Secured Obligations) shall have the sole and exclusive right to contact, provide instructions, and deliver notices to, all landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees, to exercise rights under Collateral Access Agreements, and to take possession of any Collateral in the possession of any landlord, warehouse operator or Bailee. Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, at the request of the Collateral Agent, the Senior Agent shall (i) assign to the Collateral Agent all rights of the Senior Agent under all Collateral Access Agreements and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to notify all landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees that the Senior Agent has assigned its rights to the Collateral Agent and that such landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees shall follow all notices and instructions provided by the Collateral Agent with respect to any and all Collateral in their possession (a “Notice of Assignment”).
          (b) Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and until such time as the Collateral Agent shall have either (i) received an acknowledgement from the landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees party to Collateral Access Agreements of receipt of a Notice of Assignment or (ii) entered into new Collateral Access Agreements with all applicable landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees, the Senior Agent agrees to continue to act as the agent for the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders, and to follow all instructions provided to the Senior Agent by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral in the possession of landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees; provided that, the Senior Agent shall not be obligated to take any action that is, in its reasonable opinion, contrary to any applicable law, rule or regulation, the terms of this Agreement or the terms of any Loan Document. Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent (to the extent that the Collateral Agent, in turn, is entitled to enforce a right of reimbursement or indemnification against the Parent, Borrower or Guarantors pursuant to any of the Indenture Agreements), for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders, agrees to indemnify Senior Agent and its officers, directors, agents and employees for and against all claims, liabilities, and expenses arising out of any action taken by Senior Agent with respect to Collateral in the possession of a landlord, warehouse operator or Bailee at the request or in accordance with the instructions of the Collateral Agent, except to the extent the claims, liabilities, or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Senior Agent or its officers, directors, agents or employees.

NOTICES AND APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
     Section 4.01 Notices of Exercise. Concurrently with any exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and remedies under the Indenture Agreements following the occurrence of any default

14


 

under the Indenture Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall give notice of such exercise to the Senior Agent and shall only exercise such rights or remedies in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Concurrently with any exercise by the Senior Agent of any of its rights and remedies under the Senior Credit Documents following the occurrence of any default under the Senior Credit Documents, the Senior Agent shall give notice of such exercise to the Collateral Agent and shall only exercise such rights or remedies in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
     Section 4.02 Application of Proceeds.
          (a) Revolving Nature of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations.

The Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, expressly acknowledges and agrees that (a) any such application of the proceeds of accounts receivable, other rights to payment or Cash Collateral or the release of any Lien by the Senior Agent upon any portion of the Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition of assets by the Borrowers or the Guarantors that is permitted under the terms of the Senior Credit Documents shall not be considered to be the exercise of remedies under this Agreement; and (b) all Proceeds of Cash Collateral received by the Senior Agent in connection therewith may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited or reborrowed, in whole or in part, as Credit Agreement Secured Obligations without reducing the Maximum Priority Debt Amount. The Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders, further acknowledges that the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations are revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time (subject to Section 5.02(a)), and that the aggregate amount of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced from time to time, subject to the Maximum Priority Debt Amount. The lien priorities provided in this Agreement shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations.
          (b) Turnover of Cash Collateral After Payment. Upon the Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent shall deliver to the Collateral Agent or execute such documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to cause the Collateral Agent to have control over any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral still in the Senior Agent’s or its designee’s possession, custody or control in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Collateral Agent to the Indenture Secured Obligations. Proceeds of any exercise by the Senior Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of any of their respective secured creditor rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents, under applicable law, or otherwise with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, shall be applied as provided in Section 4.02(c) below.
          (c) Application of Proceeds. The Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby agree that all Collateral and all Proceeds received by either of them upon the Exercise Of Secured Creditor Remedies shall be applied as follows:
          first, to the payment of costs and expenses of the Senior Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in connection with such exercise;

Each of the Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, at any time when the other shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it; provided, however, the remedy of specific performance shall not be available, and the asserting party shall be free to assert any and all legal defenses it may possess, if such remedy would result in, or otherwise constitute, a violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Each of the Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.
ARTICLE V.
INTERCREDITOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND WAIVERS
     Section 5.01 Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers.
          (a) All Credit Agreement Secured Obligations at any time made or incurred by Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, hereby waives (i) notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by the Senior Agent of this Agreement, and (ii) notice of the existence, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations. Neither the Senior Agent, nor any Senior Lender, nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so (other than in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Senior Agent or such Senior Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. If the Senior Agent honors (or fails to honor) a request by a Borrower for an extension of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any of the Senior Credit Documents, whether the Senior Agent has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of the Indenture or any Indenture Agreement or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if the Senior Agent otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under the Senior Credit Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), the Senior Agent shall not have any liability whatsoever to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder as a result of such action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions of this Agreement). The Senior Agent will be entitled to manage and supervise its loans and

16


 

extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement and other Senior Credit Documents as the Senior Agent may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Agent may manage its loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders have in the Collateral or otherwise except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that the Senior Agent shall not incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, pursuant to the Senior Credit Documents conducted in accordance with mandatory provisions of applicable law.
          (b) None of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders nor any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. If the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders should exercise any of their contractual rights or remedies under the Indenture Agreements (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders shall have any liability whatsoever to the Senior Agent as a result of such action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions of this Agreement). The Collateral Agent, the Trustee, and the Noteholders will be entitled to manage and supervise the Indenture Agreements as they may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.03, the Senior Agent agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or the Noteholders shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, pursuant to the Indenture Agreements conducted in accordance with mandatory provisions of applicable law.
     Section 5.02 Modifications to Senior Credit Documents and Indenture Agreements.
          (a) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, hereby agrees that, without affecting the obligations of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders hereunder, the Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, may, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion without the consent of or notice to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder (except to the extent such notice or consent is required pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), and without incurring any liability to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder or impairing or releasing the subordination provided for herein, amend, restate, supplement, replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify the Credit Agreement or any of the Senior Credit Documents (except as otherwise provided herein) in any manner whatsoever, including, to
          (i) change the manner, place, time, or terms of payment or renew or alter, all or any of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations or otherwise amend, restate, supplement, or otherwise modify in any manner, or grant any waiver or release with respect to, all or any part of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations or any of the Senior Credit Documents,
          (ii) retain or obtain a Lien on any property of any Person to secure any of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, and in that connection to enter into any additional Senior Credit Documents,
          (iii) amend, or grant any waiver, compromise or release with respect to, or consent to any departure from, any guaranty or other obligations of any Person obligated in any manner under or in respect of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations,

          (A) subject Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors to any prohibition or limitation on the making of (x) scheduled payments of interest (including default interest, if applicable) in respect of the Indenture Secured Obligations as required under the Indenture Agreements or (y) indemnification payments provided for under the Indenture Agreements, in each case that are more restrictive to Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors than those set forth in the Senior Credit Documents (as in effect on the date hereof);
          (B) contravene the provisions of this Agreement or impose any limitation or restriction as contemplated by Section 5.02(d) below
          (b) The Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, hereby agrees that Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders may, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion without the consent of or notice to the Senior Agent (except to the extent any such notice or consent is required pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), and without incurring any liability to the Senior Agent or impairing or releasing the subordination provided for herein, amend, restate, supplement, replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify the Indenture Agreements in any manner whatsoever, provided, however, that unless the Senior Agent otherwise agrees in advance in writing, no such amendment, restatement, supplement, replacement, refinancing, extension, consolidation, restructuring, or other modification of the Indenture Agreements shall:
          (i) provide for the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder to obtain a Lien on any assets of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor not constituting Collateral unless (A) the Senior Agent also obtains a Lien on such assets either before or at the same time as the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or such Noteholder or (B) the Senior Agent declines in a writing to Collateral Agent to obtain a Lien on such assets;
          (ii) subject Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors to any prohibition or limitation on the making of any payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts in respect of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations as and when the same shall be due under the Senior Credit Documents;

     Section 5.03 Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement.
          (a) If the Senior Agent is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person any amount (a “Recovery”), then the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders, and the Noteholders under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of any Insolvency Proceeding by or against Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations. No priority or right of the Senior Agent shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of the Credit Agreement, the Indenture or any of the other Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Senior Agent may have.
          (b) If the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person a Recovery, then the Indenture Secured Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. No priority or right of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of the Credit Agreement, the Indenture or any of the other Indenture Agreements, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder may have.
     Section 5.04 New Credit Facility. If at any time Parent, any Borrower or any Subsidiaries of Parent or any Borrower enters into a New Credit Facility in connection with a Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations under the Original Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and any prior termination thereof, if any, as a result of a prior Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto (including the lender providing the New Credit Facility) from such date of reinstatement; provided that in connection with any New Credit Facility, the Company and the lender providing such New Credit Facility or its designee shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an acknowledgment, in substantially the form of Annex A. It is hereby agreed that the entering into of

19


 

any new Credit Agreement would not constitute an amendment, modification or supplement to any of the Indenture Agreements.
ARTICLE VI.
INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS
     Section 6.01 DIP Financing. If Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and the Senior Agent shall desire, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding (“DIP Financing”) to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral, then the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection with its or their interest in any such Collateral except to the extent specified in this Section 6.01. To the extent the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, hereby agrees that the Collateral Agent’s Liens in the Collateral shall be subordinated to such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any “carve-out” for professional fees and expenses and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Agent) upon the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral and will not provide or offer to provide any DIP Financing secured by a Lien senior to or pari passu with the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, in each case unless the Senior Agent otherwise has provided its express written consent.
     Section 6.02 No Contest. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the Senior Agent for adequate protection, or (b) any objection by the Senior Agent to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on Senior Agent claiming that their interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency Proceeding, if the Senior Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding, then the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien hereby is and shall be deemed to be subordinated to the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations on the same basis as the Lien Priority up to (but not in excess of) the sum of (i) the Maximum Priority Debt Amount and (ii) the amount of such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any “carve-out” for professional fees and expenses and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Agent). In the event the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of Liens in respect of additional collateral, then the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and each of the Noteholders, agrees that the Senior Agent also shall be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations (and for any such DIP Financing) and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Indenture Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens in respect of such additional collateral securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing and any other Liens granted to the Senior Agent as

20


 

adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Indenture Secured Obligations are subordinated to the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations under this Agreement up to the sum of (i) the Maximum Priority Debt Amount and (ii) the amount of such DIP Financing (and all obligations related thereto and any “carve-out” for professional fees and expenses and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Agent). Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Senior Agent, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any of the Noteholders, including the seeking by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder of adequate protection or the asserting by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder of any of its rights and remedies under the Indenture Agreements or otherwise.
     Section 6.03 Asset Sales. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, the Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the Senior Agent of Collateral pursuant to Section 363 or 365 of Title 11 of the United States Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) so long as (i) if the proceeds of such sale are retained by the Senior Agent, the Senior Agent agrees to apply such proceeds in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) if the Senior Agent agrees to permit any portion of such proceeds to be retained by Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors to be used as cash collateral, the Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors use such portion of such proceeds as cash collateral in accordance with the agreement of the Senior Agent, subject to the rights of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders to seek or request adequate protection in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.02.
     Section 6.04 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable under Section 510 of Title 11 of the United States Code. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that all distributions that the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder receives in any Insolvency Proceeding on account of the Collateral or Proceeds shall be held in trust by such Person and turned over to the Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, for application in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Agreement. To the extent that any amounts received by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder are paid over in connection with this provision, the obligations owed by Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor to such Person will be deemed to be reinstated to the extent of the amounts so paid over.
ARTICLE VII.
MISCELLANEOUS
     Section 7.01 Rights of Subrogation. The Collateral Agent agrees that no payment or distribution to the Senior Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations resulting from payments or distributions to the Senior Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the Senior Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof.
     Section 7.02 Further Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that either Party may reasonably request, in order to

21


 

protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Senior Agent or the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this Section 7.02 to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal requirement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this Section 7.02.
     Section 7.03 Representations. The Original Senior Agent represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the Original Credit Agreement to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders. The Collateral Agent represents and warrants that it has the requisite power and authority under the Indenture to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders.
     Section 7.04 Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Party hereto shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by the Collateral Agent and the Senior Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
