AMERCO (Debtor in Possession) AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES AND

SAC HOLDING CORPORATIONS AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2003, March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002

(Unaudited)
 
1. Proceedings Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code

      On June 20, 2003, AMERCO (the “Debtor”) filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada. On August 13, 2003, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary Amerco Real Estate Company (“AREC”) filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada. Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtor in existence prior to the filing of the petition for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws are stayed while the Debtor continues business operations as Debtor–in-possession. These claims are reflected in the June 30, 2003, balance sheet as “liabilities subject to compromise.” Additional claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise subsequent to the filing date resulting from rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and from the determination by the court (or agreed to by parties in interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts. Claims secured against the Debtor’s assets (“secured claims”) also are stayed, although the holders of such claims have the right to move the court for relief from the stay. Secured claims are secured primarily by liens of the Debtor’s property, plant and equipment.

 
2. Organization and Principles of Consolidation
 
Organization

      AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (“AMERCO”), is the holding company for U-Haul International, Inc. (“U-Haul”), Amerco Real Estate Company (“Real Estate”), Republic Western Insurance Company (“RepWest”) and Oxford Life Insurance Company (“Oxford”). Throughout this Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” refers to AMERCO and all of its legal subsidiaries. The Company has four industry segments represented by Moving and Storage Operations (U-Haul), Real Estate, Property and Casualty Insurance (RepWest) and Life Insurance (Oxford).

      SAC Holding Corporation and SAC Holding Corporation II, Nevada corporations (collectively, “SAC Holdings”), are the holding companies for several individual corporations that own self-storage properties managed by AMERCO subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. Mark V. Shoen, a significant shareholder and executive officer of AMERCO, owns all of the equity interest of SAC Holdings.

 
Principles of Consolidation

      The condensed consolidated financial statements presented here include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly owned subsidiaries and SAC Holdings and their subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. SAC Holdings has been classified as a special purpose entity that meets the criteria for consolidation and therefore the accounts of SAC Holdings are included in the consolidated financial statements. AMERCO has concluded that SAC Holdings qualifies as a Variable Interest Entity, as defined by FIN 46, and will continue to be included in the consolidation. SAC Holdings are not legal subsidiaries of AMERCO. AMERCO is not liable for the debts of SAC Holdings and there are no default provisions in AMERCO indebtedness that cross-default to SAC Holdings’ obligations. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in AMERCO’s annual financial statements and notes. For a more detailed presentation of the accounts and transactions of AMERCO, refer to AMERCO’s Form 10-K.

      The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2003 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed

AMERCO (Debtor in Possession) AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES AND
SAC HOLDING CORPORATIONS AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) (Unaudited)

consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

      The operating results and financial position of RepWest and Oxford have been consolidated on the basis of a calendar year and, accordingly, are determined on a one-quarter lag for financial reporting purposes. There were no effects related to intervening events, which would materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations for the financial statements presented herein, with the exception of various Agreements of Exchange entered into between SAC Holdings and RepWest and SAC Holdings and Oxford. The exchanges were effective June 30, 2003, were non-monetary and were recorded on the basis of the book values of the assets exchanged. Under the terms of these Agreements of Exchange, RepWest and Oxford exchanged their respective interests in Private Mini Storage Realty, L.P., a Texas based self-storage operator, for real estate owned by SAC Holdings. For the purposes of consolidating the operations of RepWest and Oxford and to facilitate proper eliminations among the various entities as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the transaction was accounted for as if it were effective March 31, 2003 with respect to RepWest and Oxford.

      Revenues, expenses (including professional fees), realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses directly associated with the reorganization and restructuring of the business are reported as part of operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from both those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. Liabilities subject to compromise are reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts.

 
Going Concern Basis

      On June 20, 2003 (the “Petition Date”), AMERCO filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (Case No. 0352103). AMERCO will continue to manage its properties and operate its businesses as “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. In general, as debtor-in-possession, AMERCO is authorized under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Specific information pertaining to the bankruptcy filing may be obtained from the website www.amerco.com. The Bankruptcy filing and the events of default on substantially all of the Company’s debt raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from these uncertainties.

 
Restatements and Reclassifications

      In connection with the recently completed audit of the Company’s financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2003, it was determined that there was a need for the Company to record adjustments that resulted in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements, including financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The condensed consolidated statement of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 contained in this report have been restated. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as originally reported was $40.5 million, or $1.81 per basic and diluted share. Net income for this period as restated is $23.8 million or $1.00 per basic and diluted share. The major components of the restatement were related to an adjustment to accrue for fully-developed actuarial estimates of the Company’s insurance reserves and to recognize equity-method losses relating to the Company’s investments in Private Mini Storage Realty, L.P. For a detailed discussion of the adjustments to our financial statements for the fiscal

      In the normal course of business, AMERCO is a defendant in a number of suits and claims. AMERCO is also a party to several administrative proceedings arising from state and local provisions that regulate the removal and/or clean up of underground fuel storage tanks. In our opinion, none of such suits, claims or proceedings involving AMERCO, individually, or in the aggregate, are expected to result in a material loss.

      Compliance with environmental requirements of federal, state and local governments significantly affects Real Estate’s business operations. Among other things, these requirements regulate the discharge of materials into the water, air and land and govern the use and disposal of hazardous substances. Real Estate is aware of issues regarding hazardous substances on some of its properties. Real Estate regularly makes capital and operating expenditures to stay in compliance with environmental laws and has put in place a remedial plan at each site where it believes such a plan is necessary. Since 1988, Real Estate has managed a testing and removal program for underground storage tanks. Under this program we have spent $43.7 million.

      A subsidiary of U-Haul, INW Company (INW), owns one property located within two different state hazardous substance sites in the State of Washington. The sites are referred to as the “Yakima Valley Spray Site” and the “Yakima Railroad Area.” INW has been named as a “potentially liable party” under state law with respect to this property as it relates to both sites. As a result of the cleanup costs of approximately $5.0 million required by the State of Washington, INW filed for reorganization under federal bankruptcy laws in May of 2001. The potential liability to INW could be in the range of $750,000 to $1.25 million.

      Based upon the information currently available, compliance with the environmental laws and the costs of investigation and cleanup of known hazardous waste sites are not expected to have a material adverse affect on AMERCO’s financial position of operating results.

      In connection with the resolution of litigation with certain members of the Shoen family and their corporations, AMERCO has deducted for income tax purposes approximately $372.0 million of the payments made to plaintiffs in a lawsuit. While AMERCO believes that such income tax deductions are appropriate, there can be no assurance that such deductions ultimately will be allowed in full. The IRS has proposed adjustments to the Company’s 1997 and 1996 tax returns. Nearly all of the adjustments are attributable to denials of deductions claimed for certain payments made in connection with this litigation. We believe these income tax deductions are appropriate and are vigorously contesting the IRS adjustments. No additional taxes have been provided in the accompanying financial statements, as management believes that none will result.

      On July 20, 2000, Charles Kocher (“Kocher”) filed suit in Wetzel County, West Virginia, Civil Action No. 00-C-51-K, entitled Charles Kocher v. Oxford Life Insurance Co. (“Oxford”) seeking compensatory and punitive damages for breach of contract, bad faith and unfair claims settlement practices arising from an alleged failure of Oxford to properly and timely pay a claim under a disability and dismemberment policy. On March 22, 2002, the jury returned a verdict of $5 million in compensatory damages and $34 million in punitive damages. On November 5, 2002, the trial court entered an Order (“Order”) affirming the $39 million jury verdict and denying Oxford’s motion for New Trial Or, in The Alternative, Remittitur. Oxford has perfected its appeal to the West Virginia Supreme Court. Oral argument on the appeal petition occurred on September 9, 2003. Management does not believe that the Order is sustainable and expects the Order to be overturned by the West Virginia Supreme Court, in part because the jury award has no reasonable nexus to the actual harm suffered by Kocher. The Company has accrued $725,000, which represents management’s best estimate of the costs associated with legal fees to appeal and re-try the case and the company’s uninsured exposure to an unfavorable outcome.

      As previously discussed, on June 20, 2003, AMERCO filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As debtor-in-possession, AMERCO is authorized under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. As of the Petition Date, virtually all pending litigation against AMERCO is stayed, and absent further order of the Bankruptcy Court, no party, subject to certain exceptions, may take any action, again subject to certain exceptions, to recover on pre-petition claims against AMERCO. The automatic stay, however, does not apply to AMERCO’s subsidiaries, other than Amerco Real Estate Company, which filed for protection under Chapter 11, on August 13, 2003.

AMERCO (Debtor in Possession) AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES AND
SAC HOLDING CORPORATIONS AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) (Unaudited)

      On September 24, 2002, Paul F. Shoen filed a derivative action in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captioned Paul F. Shoen vs. SAC Holding Corporation et al, CV02-05602, seeking damages and equitable relief on behalf of AMERCO from SAC Holdings and certain current and former members of the AMERCO Board of Directors, including Edward J. Shoen, Mark V. Shoen and James P. Shoen as defendants. AMERCO is named a nominal defendant for purposes of the derivative action. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty, self-dealing, usurpation of corporate opportunities, wrongful interference with prospective economic advantage and unjust enrichment and seeks the unwinding of sales of self-storage properties by subsidiaries of AMERCO to SAC Holdings over the last several years. The complaint seeks a declaration that such transfers are void as well as unspecified damages. On October 28, 2002, AMERCO, the Shoen directors, the non-Shoen directors and SAC Holdings filed Motions to Dismiss the complaint. In addition, on October 28, 2002, Ron Belec filed a derivative action in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captioned Ron Belec vs. William E. Carty, et al, CV 02-06331 and on January 16, 2003, M.S. Management Company, Inc. filed a derivative action in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captioned M.S. Management Company, Inc. vs. William E. Carty, et. al, CV 03-00386. Two additional derivative suits were also filed against these parties. These additional suits are substantially similar to the Paul F. Shoen derivative action. The five suits assert virtually identical claims. In fact, three of the five plaintiffs are parties who are working closely together and chose to file the same claims multiple times. The court consolidated all five complaints before dismissing them on May 8, 2003. Plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal. These lawsuits falsely alleged that the AMERCO Board lacked independence. In reaching his decision to dismiss these claims, the court determined that the AMERCO Board of Directors had the requisite level of independence required in order to have these claims resolved by the Board.

      The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has issued a formal order of investigation to determine whether the Company has violated the Federal securities laws. On January 7, 2003, the Company received the first of four subpoenas issued by the SEC. SAC Holdings, the Company’s current and former auditors, and others have also received one or more subpoenas relating to this matter. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC and is facilitating the expeditious review of its financial statements and any other issues that may arise. The Company has produced a large volume of documents and other materials in response to the subpoenas, and the Company is continuing to assemble and produce additional documents and materials for the SEC. Although the Company has fully cooperated with the SEC in this matter and intends to continue to fully cooperate, the SEC may determine that the Company has violated Federal securities laws. We cannot predict when this investigation will be completed or its outcome. If the SEC makes a determination that we have violated Federal securities laws, we may face sanctions, including, but not limited to, significant monetary penalties and injunctive relief.

      AMERCO is a defendant in four putative class action lawsuits. Article Four Trust v. AMERCO, et al., District of Nevada, United States District Court, Case No. CV-N-03-0050-DWH-VPC. Article Four Trust, a purported AMERCO shareholder, commenced this action on January 28, 2003 on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or acquired AMERCO securities between February 12, 1998 and September 26, 2002. The Article Four Trust action alleges one claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Mates v. AMERCO, et al., United States District Court, District of Nevada, Case No. CV-N-03-0107. Maxine Mates, an AMERCO shareholder, commenced this putative class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or acquired AMERCO securities between February 12, 1998 and September 26, 2002. The Mates action asserts claims under section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5, and section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. Klug v. AMERCO, et al., United States District Court of Nevada, Case No. CV-S-03-0380. Edward Klug, an AMERCO shareholder, commenced this putative class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or acquired AMERCO securities between

February 12, 1998 and September 26, 2002. The Klug action asserts claims under section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 and section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. IG Holdings v. AMERCO, et al., United States District Court, District of Nevada, Case No. CV-N-03-0199. IG Holdings, an AMERCO bondholder, commenced this putative class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased, acquired, or traded AMERCO bonds between February 12, 1998 and September 26, 2002, alleging claims under section 11 and section 12 of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5, and section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. Each of these four securities class actions allege that AMERCO engaged in transactions with SAC entities that falsely improved AMERCO’s financial statements, and that AMERCO failed to disclose the transactions properly. The actions are at a very early stage. The Klug action has not been served. In the other three actions, AMERCO does not currently have a deadline by which it must respond to the complaints. Management has stated that it intends to defend these cases vigorously. We have filed a notice of AMERCO’s bankruptcy petition and the automatic stay in each of the Courts where these cases are pending.

      The United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) is presently investigating whether there were violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) involving the AMERCO Employee Savings, Profit Sharing, and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”). The DOL has interviewed a number of Company representatives as well as the Plan fiduciaries and has issued a subpoena to the Company and a subpoena to SAC Holdings. At the present time, the Company is unable to determine whether the DOL will assert any claims against the Company, SAC Holdings, or the Plan fiduciaries. The DOL has asked AMERCO and its current directors as well as the Plan Trustees to sign an agreement tolling the statute of limitations with respect to any claims arising out of certain transactions between AMERCO or any affiliate of AMERCO and SAC Holdings or any of its affiliates and such persons have done so. The DOL recently asked such parties to extend the tolling agreement. The DOL has not advised the Company that it believes that any violations of ERISA have in fact occurred. Instead, the DOL is simply investigating potential violations. The Company intends to take any corrective action that may be needed in light of the DOL’s ultimate findings. Although the Company has fully cooperated with the DOL in this matter and intends to continue to fully cooperate, the DOL may determine that the Company has violated ERISA. In that event, the Company may face sanctions, including, but not limited to, significant monetary penalties and injunctive relief.

 
5. New Accounting Standards

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS 143”), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, requires recognition of the fair value of liabilities associated with the retirement of long-lived assets when a legal obligation to incur such costs arises as a result of the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset. Upon recognition of the liability, a corresponding asset is recorded at present value and accreted over the life of the asset and depreciated over the remaining life of the long-lived asset. SFAS 143 defines a legal obligation as one that a party is required to settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statute, ordinance, or written or oral contract or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of promissory estoppel. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We adopted this statement effective April 1, 2003, and it did not affect our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

      In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 (“SFAS 145”), Rescission of No. 4, (Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt), No. 44 (Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers), No. 64, (Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements), Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 (Accounting for Leases) and Technical Corrections. This statement eliminates the current requirement that gains and losses on debt extinguishment must be classified as extraordinary items in the income statement. Instead, such gains and losses will be classified as extraordinary items only if they are

SAC HOLDING CORPORATIONS AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) (Unaudited)

deemed to be unusual and infrequent, in accordance with the current GAAP criteria for extraordinary classification. In addition, SFAS 145 eliminates an inconsistency in lease accounting by requiring that modification of capital leases that result in reclassification as operating leases be accounted for consistent with sale-leaseback accounting rules. The statement also contains other nonsubstantive corrections to authoritative accounting literature. The changes related to debt extinguishment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. We previously reclassified all extraordinary loss on debt extinguishment to interest expense. The changes related to lease accounting will be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. We have adopted the lease accounting provisions effective May 16, 2002 and it did not affect our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

      In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, (“SFAS 146”) Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3. SFAS 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of a company’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized. The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. We have adopted the Statement effective January 1, 2003 and it did not affect our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

      In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), Guarantor’s Accounting for Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34, Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 clarifies the requirements for a guarantor’s accounting for and disclosure of certain guarantees issued and outstanding. It also requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. This Interpretation also incorporates without reconsideration the guidance in FASB Interpretation No. 34, which is being superseded. As a result of FIN 45, the Company has recorded a $70 million liability at March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, which is management’s estimate of the liability associated with the guarantee of the indebtedness of an affiliate of Private Mini Storage Realty, L.P. which was entered into in February 2003.

      In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (“SFAS 148”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”, which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirement of SFAS 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements of the effects of stock-based compensation. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. We have adopted this statement and it did have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or results of operations.

      In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 (“SFAS 149”), “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in

12


 

AMERCO (Debtor in Possession) AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES AND
SAC HOLDING CORPORATIONS AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) (Unaudited)

other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. In particular, SFAS 149 (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as discussed in SFAS No. 133, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, (3) amends the definition of an underlying derivative to conform it to the language used in FIN 45, and (4) amends certain other existing pronouncements. SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 149 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

      In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150 (“SFAS 150”), “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003; including all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003. SFAS 150 currently has no impact on the Company.

      In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletins (“ARB”) No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements). FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and in the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for variable interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003. The interpretation explains how to identify variable interest entities and how an enterprise assesses its interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. The interpretation requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. Variable interest entities that effectively disperse risks will not be consolidated unless a single party holds an interest or combination of interests that effectively recombines risks that were previously dispersed. SAC Holdings has determined that Private Mini is a Variable Interest Entity and will need to be consolidated beginning in July 2003. Based on December 31, 2002 financial information for Private Mini, the impact of this on the consolidated financial statements is to increase assets by approximately $320.0 million and increase debt by approximately $308.0 million.

7.     Liabilities Subject to Compromise

      Under the Bankruptcy Code certain claims against AMERCO in existence prior to the Petition Date are stayed while AMERCO continues operating as a debtor-in-possession. AMERCO has received approval from the Court to (a) pay pre-petition and post-petition employee wages, salaries, benefits and other employee obligations; (b) pay vendors and other providers in the ordinary course for goods and services received from and after the Petition Date. Substantially all other pre-petition liabilities of AMERCO have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Adjustments to these liabilities may result from negotiations, payments authorized by Court order, additional rejection of executory contracts including leases, or other events.

      Shortly after the Chapter 11 filing, AMERCO began notifying all known or potential creditors of the filing for the purpose of identifying all pre-petition claims against the Company. Amounts that AMERCO has recorded may be different than amounts filed by its creditors. The number and amount of allowable claims cannot be presently ascertained. The claims reconciliation process may result in adjustments to allowable claims.

      The following table summarizes the components of Liabilities subject to compromise included in AMERCO’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2003 (in thousands):

           
Debt
  $ 860,873  
Accounts payable
    185  
     
 
 
Total liabilities subject to compromise

      Reorganization items represent amounts incurred as a direct result of the Company’s Chapter 11 filing and are included in operating expenses and interest expense in the Company’s Statement of Operations. Professional fees of $8.8 million and default interest payments of $4.4 million were paid during the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

      This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. We may make additional written or oral forward-looking statements from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise. We believe such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of revenues, income or loss, estimates of capital expenditures, our plans and intentions regarding the recapitalization of our balance sheet and the payment of dividends arrearages, plans for future operations, products or services and financing needs and plans, our perceptions of our legal positions and anticipated outcomes of pending litigation against us, liquidity, expected outcomes of the Chapter 11 proceeding as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Factors that could significantly affect results include, without limitation, the risk factors enumerated at the end of this section, as well as the following: the Company’s ability to operate pursuant to the terms of its DIP facility; the Company’s ability to obtain court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 proceeding prosecuted by it from time to time; the Company’s ability to develop, prosecute, confirm, and consummate a plan of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 case; risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for the Company to propose and confirm a plan of reorganization, for the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee or to convert the case to a Chapter 7 case; the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain normal terms with vendors and service providers; the Company’s ability to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; the potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11 case on the Company’s liquidity or results of operations; the costs and availability of financing; the Company’s ability to execute its business plan; the Company’s ability to attract, motivate and retain key employees; general economic conditions; weather conditions; fluctuations in our costs to maintain and update our fleet and facilities; our ability to refinance our debt; our ability to successfully recapitalize our balance sheet and cure existing defaults of our debt agreements; our ability to continue as a going concern; changes in government regulations, particularly environmental regulations; our credit ratings; the availability of credit; changes in demand for our products; changes in the general domestic economy; degree and nature of our competition; the resolution of pending litigation against the company; changes in accounting standards and other factors described in this report or the other documents we file with the Securities Exchange Commission. The above factors, the following disclosures, as well as other statements in this report and in the Notes to AMERCO’s Consolidated Financial Statements, could contribute to or cause such differences, or could cause AMERCO’s stock price to fluctuate dramatically. Consequently, the forward-looking statements should not be regarded as representations or warranties by the Company that such matters will be realized. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, unforeseen events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

General

      Information on industry segments is incorporated by reference from — Notes 1 and 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The notes discuss the principles of consolidation, summarized consolidated financial information and industry segment and geographical area data, respectively. In consolidation, all intersegment premiums are eliminated and the benefits, losses and expenses are retained by the insurance companies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

      Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,

24


 

and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, estimates are reevaluated, including those related to areas that require a significant level of judgment or are otherwise subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These areas include allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and buildings, self-insured liabilities, impairments of assets, insurance reserves, premiums and acquisition cost amortization, income taxes and commitments and contingencies. Our estimates are based on historical experience, observance of trends in particular areas, information and/ or valuations available from outside sources and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Such differences may be material.

      Accounting policies are considered critical when they are significant and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. We consider the following to be critical accounting policies:

     Principles of Consolidation

      Principles of consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly owned subsidiaries and SAC Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. SAC Holdings has been classified as a special purpose entity that meets the criteria for consolidation and therefore the accounts of SAC Holdings are included in the consolidated financial statements. AMERCO has concluded that SAC Holdings qualifies as a Variable Interest Entity, as defined by FIN 46, and will continue to be included in the consolidation. AMERCO does not have an equity ownership interest in SAC Holdings or any of SAC Holdings’ subsidiaries, except for investments made by RepWest and Oxford in a SAC Holdings-controlled limited partnership, which holds Canadian self-storage properties. SAC Holdings are not legal subsidiaries of AMERCO. AMERCO is not liable for the debts of SAC Holdings and there are no default provisions in AMERCO indebtedness that cross-default to SAC Holdings’ obligations. SAC Holdings has concluded that a conglomerate of entities, known as Private Mini Storage Realty, L.P. (“Private Mini”), qualifies as a Variable Interest Entity and will be included in the consolidation beginning July 1, 2003. As of June 30, 2003 and for the period then ended, Private Mini is accounted for on the equity method of accounting.

      Revenue earning vehicles and buildings — Depreciation is recognized in amounts expected to result in the recovery of estimated residual values upon disposal (i.e. no gains or losses). In determining the depreciation rate, historical disposal experience and holding periods, and trends in the market for vehicles are reviewed. Due to longer holding periods on trucks and the resulting increased possibility of changes in the economic environment and market conditions, these estimates are subject to a greater degree of risk.

      Long-lived assets and intangible assets — The carrying value is reviewed whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The events could include significant underperformance relative to expected, historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of using the assets, overall business strategy, significant negative industry or economic trends and an unexpected non-compliance with significant debt agreements.

      Investments — For investments accounted for under SFAS 115, in determining if and when a decline in market value below amortized cost is other than temporary, quoted market prices, dealer quotes or discounted cash flows are reviewed. Other-than-temporary declines in value are recognized in the current period operating results to the extent of the decline.

      Insurance revenue and expense recognition — Premiums are recognized as revenue and earned over the terms of the respective policies. Benefits and expenses are matched with recognized premiums to result in revenue and expense recognition over the life of the contracts. This match is accomplished by recording a provision for future policy benefits and unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses and by amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs. Charges related to services to be performed are deferred until earned. The amounts received in excess of premiums and fees are included in other policyholder funds in the consolidated balance sheets.

25


 

      Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written which relate to the unexpired term of policies. Liabilities for health and disability and other policy claims and benefits payable represent estimates of payments to be made on insurance claims for reported losses and estimates of losses incurred but not yet reported. These estimates are based on past claims experience and current claim trends as well as social and economic conditions such as changes in legal theories and inflation. Due to the nature of underlying risks and the high degree of uncertainty associated with the determination of the liability for future policy benefits and claims, the amounts to be ultimately paid to settle liabilities cannot be precisely determined and may vary significantly from the estimated liability.

      Acquisition costs related to insurance contracts have been deferred to accomplish matching against future premium revenue. The costs are charged to current earnings to the extent it is determined that future premiums are not adequate to cover amounts deferred.

      U-Haul insurance expense — Expense is recognized annually based on reported claims and an estimate of future claims. A reserve is booked for unpaid losses. U-Haul’s self-insured retention is paid out over time as claims are settled, relieving the reserve for unpaid losses.

Results of Operations

 
Quarter Ended June 30, 2003 Versus Quarter Ended June 30, 2002
 
U-HAUL Moving and Storage Operations

      Revenues consist of rental revenues, net sales and investment earnings. Rental revenue was $407.0 million and $383.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The increase was due to a 6% increase in the rental transactions of trucks and trailers.

      Net sales revenues were $54.3 million and $53.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The increase in sales was due to increased volume.

      Cost of sales were $25.6 million and $29.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The decrease was due to better material cost margins and increased labor efficiency.

      Operating expenses before inter-company eliminations were $262.7 million and $257.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

      Lease expense was $37.5 million and $41.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. This decrease reflects a decline in the number of leased rental trucks.

      Net depreciation expense was $30.6 million and $27.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

      Operating profit before inter-company eliminations was $65.7 million and $40.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

 
SAC Moving and Storage Operations

      Total revenues consist of storage rental revenues, vehicle rental commissions and net sales. Total rental revenue was $42.3 million and $40.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The increase is due to a 9% increase in storage rental transactions.

      Net sales revenues were $14.9 million and $14.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Net sales stayed about constant for the same time period.

      Operating expenses before inter-company eliminations were $28.1 million and $24.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Increased expenses were the result of increased property taxes, management fees, and utilities.

      Cost of sales were $6.6 million and $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The increase is proportional to increases in net sales.

      Net depreciation expense was $5.8 million and $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

      Operating profits were $16.7 million and $19.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

 
Amerco’s Real Estate Operations

      Rental revenue before inter-company eliminations was $14.8 million and $15.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Intercompany revenue was $14.0 and $14.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

      Net investment and interest income was $2.0 million and $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

      Lease expense was $4.4 million and $2.0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The increase is a result of the increase in synthetic lease expense.

      Net depreciation expense was $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The increase in net depreciation expense is the result of a decline in gross profits recognized on the sales of surplus properties.

      Operating profit before inter-company eliminations was $12.7 million and $14.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Property and Casualty

      RepWest’s earned premiums were $28.6 million and $46.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively. General agency premiums were $21.0 million and 28.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, respectively. The decrease in 2003 is due to the reduction of the Company’s non-core lines of business. Assumed treaty reinsurance premium was $2.0 million and $9.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, respectively. The decrease from 2002 to 2003 is due to the non-renewal and cancellation of Company’s assumed treaty business. Rental industry earnings were $5.5 million and $9.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, respectively. The 2003 decrease was from a change in policy structure on U-Haul business effective April 1, 2002. Under the new policy U-Haul is now responsible for the losses from $0 — $2,000,000.

      Net investment income was $5.8 million and $7.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower annual average invested assets.

      Operating expenses were $5.3 million and $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

      Benefits and losses incurred were $25.6 million and $45.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The decrease in 2003 is due to decreased underwritings in all segments of the Company’s business.

      The amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) was $3.7 million and $5.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The 2003 decrease is due to the Company’s premium writings.

      Operating loss before inter-company eliminations was $0.2 million and $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The decrease is due to the cancellation of multiple unprofitable lines of business.

      In April 2003, RepWest announced that in connection with the Company’s overall restructuring efforts, it is redirecting its operating focus. In particular, RepWest is exiting non-U-Haul related lines of business. Management estimates that approximately 78% of net earned premium and balance sheet reserves relate to the operations being discontinued. The process will be conducted in a fashion to help insure an orderly transition and minimize related costs. However, this exit may result in near term losses.

Life Insurance

      Net premiums were $38.1 million and $39.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Oxford increased Medicare supplement premiums by $0.3 million through direct writings and rate management activity. Credit insurance premiums decreased $1.0 million for the quarter. Other health premiums decreased $0.6 million from terminated programs. Other lines had premium decreases totaling $0.3 million.

      Net investment income before inter-company eliminations increased $0.02 million to $5.4 million from $5.4.

      Operating expenses were $8.7 million and $8.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. Non-deferrable commissions have increased $0.9 million from 2002 primarily due to the increase in Medicare supplement and life premiums. General and administrative expenses net of fees collected decreased $0.6 million.

      Benefits incurred were $27.8 million and $30.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. Medicare supplement incurred claims decreased $1.4 million for the quarter and Credit incurred claims decreased $1.3 million. Other lines had decreases of $0.3 million.

      Amortization of deferred acquisition cost (“DAC”) and the value of business acquired (“VOBA”) was $5.4 million and $5.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

      Operating profit/(loss) before tax and inter-company eliminations was $1.6 million and $0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The increase from 2002 is due primarily to improved loss ratios in Medicare supplement.

Consolidated Group

Interest Expense

      Interest expense was $30.9 million and $28.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

      Interest expense of SAC Holdings on third party debt was $10.8 million and $10.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. AMERCO’s interest expense on third party debt was $20.1 and $18.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

28


 

Earnings

      Pretax earnings were $44.7 million and $34.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. After providing for income taxes, net earnings were $27.7 million and $23.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The matters described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” to the extent that they relate to future events or expectations, may be significantly affected by the Chapter 11 case. That proceeding will involve, or may result in, various restrictions on the Company’s activities, limitations on financing, the need to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval for various matters and uncertainty as to relationships with vendors, suppliers, customers and others with whom the Company may conduct or seek to conduct business.

      Generally, under the Bankruptcy Code, most of a debtor’s liabilities must be satisfied in full in order to preserve the value of the debtor’s preferred and common stock. The rights and claims of the Company’s various creditors and security holders will be determined by the plan of reorganization to be filed by AMERCO. Although AMERCO expects to file and consummate a “full value” plan of reorganization that provides creditors with a combination of cash and new debt securities equal to the full amount of their allowed claims and also preserves the value of AMERCO’s common and preferred stock, no assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to each of these constituencies.

      The Company’s total of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was $85.5 million at June 30, 2003, compared to $66.8 million at March 31, 2003.

U-Haul Moving and Storage Operations

      To meet the needs of its customers, U-Haul must maintain a large inventory of fixed asset rental items. In fiscal year 2003, capital expenditures were $182.4 million, as compared to $248.7 million and $411.9 million in fiscal years 2002 and 2001, respectively. These expenditures primarily reflect the renewal of the rental truck fleet. The capital required to fund these expenditures was obtained through internally generated funds from operations and lease financings.

      During each of the fiscal years ending March 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, U-Haul estimates gross capital expenditures will average approximately $150 million to maintain the rental fleet at current levels. This level of capital expenditures, combined with a potential level of debt amortization of approximately $100 million, are expected to create average annual funding needs of approximately $250 million. Management estimates that U-Haul will fund these requirements entirely with internally generated funds and proceeds from the sale of trucks and surplus assets. The level of capital expenditures will be dependent upon the amount of internally generated funds and proceeds from the sale of assets.

DIP Facility

      The DIP Facility consists of a $300 million credit facility with an interest rate option of LIBOR plus 3.5% or the prime rate plus 1.0%. The DIP Facility will mature on the earlier of (i) 12 months following the Bankruptcy Court’s order approving the facility; (ii) ten days following the date of entry of an order confirming AMERCO’s plan of reorganization; and (iii) the conversion of the Chapter 11 case to a case under Chapter 7. In order to facilitate a drawing on the DIP Facility, Real Estate filed for Chapter 11. This filing was needed to facilitate granting security to the lending group in the real estate assets owned by Real Estate. The DIP Facility was approved on an interim basis by the Bankruptcy Court on August 14, 2003.

      The terms of the DIP Facility include covenants that require AMERCO to maintain agreed upon minimum levels of EBITDA, EBITDAR and fixed charge coverage ratios. The DIP Facility also contains a limitation on capital expenditures. All such financial covenants will be tested quarterly. Other customary covenants (both positive and negative) are included in the DIP Facility.

29


 

      In addition, AMERCO has entered into a restructuring agreement with the revolver lenders and Amerco Real Estate Company has entered into a restructuring agreement with the holders of $100 million of its notes. Both agreements govern the consensual treatment of such creditors under AMERCO’s contemplated Plan of Reorganization and such creditors have agreed to support confirmation of the Plan. These agreements are filed as exhibits to this report.

Credit Agreements

      AMERCO’s operations were previously funded by various credit and financing arrangements, including unsecured long-term borrowings, unsecured medium-term notes and revolving lines of credit with domestic and foreign banks. To finance its fleet of trucks and trailers, U-Haul routinely enters into sale and leaseback transactions. As of June 30, 2003, AMERCO had $954.9 million in total notes and loans outstanding.

      Certain of AMERCO’s credit agreements contained restrictive financial and other covenants, including, among others, covenants with respect to incurring additional indebtedness, making third party guarantees, entering into contingent obligations, maintaining certain financial ratios and placing certain additional liens on its properties and assets and restricting the issuance of certain types of preferred stock AMERCO’s various credit and financing arrangements are affected by its credit ratings. When AMERCO experienced the credit downgrade, certain interest rates that were being charged were increased.

      On October 15, 2002, AMERCO failed to make a $100 million principal payment due to the Series 1997-C Bond Backed Asset Trust. On that date, AMERCO also failed to pay a $26.6 million obligation to Citibank and Bank of America in connection with the BBATs. As a result of the foregoing, AMERCO is in default with respect to its other credit arrangements that contain cross-default provisions, including its Revolver in the amount of $205 million. In addition to the cross-default under the Revolver, AMERCO is also in default under that agreement as a result of its failure to obtain incremental net cash proceeds and/or availability from additional financings in the aggregate amount of at least $150 million prior to October 15, 2002. In addition, Amerco Real Estate Company has defaulted on a $100 million loan by failing to grant mortgages required by the loan agreement in a timely manner. The obligations of AMERCO currently in default (either directly or as a result of a cross-default) are approximately $1,178.1 million.

Support Agreements

      In February 1997, AMERCO, through its insurance subsidiaries, invested in the equity of Private Mini. During 1997, Private Mini secured a line of credit in the amount of $225 million with a financial institution, which was subsequently reduced in accordance with its terms to $125 million in December 2001. Under the terms of this credit facility AMERCO entered into a support party agreement with Private Mini and the financial institution whereby upon certain defaults or noncompliance with debt covenants by Private Mini, AMERCO could be required to assume responsibility in fulfilling all payment obligations and certain covenant obligations related to this credit facility. Private Mini defaulted on the credit facility due to AMERCO’s default under the support party agreement, which support party agreement default was triggered by virtue of cross-defaults to certain other AMERCO obligations. Additionally, Private Mini defaulted under the credit facility by virtue of non-payment of the outstanding balance at maturity. In December 2002, the financing institution exercised its option to require AMERCO to purchase all commitments under the credit facility. In March, 2003 AMERCO and the financial institution entered a standstill agreement with respect to this obligation, which standstill agreement expired by its terms on April 30, 2003. Since April 30, 2003, the financial institution has not re-issued any default notices to AMERCO with respect to this obligation or otherwise required AMERCO to purchase all commitments under the credit facility. AMERCO has not purchased any commitments under the credit facility and, as of March 31, 2003, AMERCO has recorded a liability for the $55 million remaining balance under the credit facility with a corresponding increase to its receivable from Private Mini.

      In February 2003, an entity affiliated with Private Mini closed on a $255 million financing and $70 million of these proceeds were used to pay down the $125 million line of credit described above. The aggregate amount of support provided by AMERCO remains unchanged at $125 million ($55 million to the

30


 

lenders under the Amended and Restated loan agreement with the 1997 lenders and $70 million under the new $255 million financing). Under the terms of the support party agreement for the $255 million financing, following certain events of default, AMERCO would assume responsibility for $70 million of the obligations under this financing. AMERCO has recorded a liability for the $70 million obligation with a corresponding increase to its receivable from Private Mini.

SAC Holdings

      SAC Holdings intends to meet its current debt obligations through cash flows, generated from its operating activities. SAC Holdings intends to continue to purchase storage properties during the next year using financing arrangements.

U-Haul Moving and Storage Operations

      At June 30, 2003, U-Haul Moving and Storage notes and loans payable due in less than one year total $31.7 million and its accounts payable and accrued expenses total $295.7 million. U-Haul Moving and Storage financial assets (cash, receivables, inventories, and short term investments) at June 30, 2003 were $142.4 million. These assets, if converted to cash, are available to meet the financial obligations of AMERCO.

SAC Moving and Storage Operations

      At June 30, 2003, SAC Holdings notes and loans payable due in less than one year total $80.0 million and its accounts payable and accrued expenses total $49.4 million. SAC Holdings financial assets (cash, receivables, inventories, and short term investments) at June 30, 2003 were $9.5 million. Because AMERCO does not have any equity ownership in SAC Holdings (other than investments made by RepWest and Oxford in a SAC Holdings-controlled limited partnership which holds Canadian self-storage properties), these assets are not available to meet the obligations of AMERCO.

Real Estate Operations

      At June 30, 2003, Real Estate had $101.5 million of notes and loans payable due in less than one year and its accounts payable and accrued expenses total $3.8 million. Real Estate financial assets (cash, receivables, inventories, and short term investments) at June 30, 2003 were $19.8 million. These assets, if converted to cash, are available to meet the obligations of AMERCO to the extent such cash exceeds current obligations of Real Estate.

Property and Casualty

      At March 31, 2003, Property and Casualty had no notes and loans due in less than one year and its accounts payable and accrued expenses were $17.1 million. Property and Casualty financial assets (cash, receivables, inventories, and short term investments) at March 31, 2003 were $343.2 million. Because of state insurance regulations that restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid to stockholders of insurance companies, these assets are generally not available to meet the obligations of AMERCO. Reference is made to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Insurance Operations.”

Life Insurance

      At March 31, 2003, Life Insurance had no notes and loans payable due in less than one year and its accounts payable and accrued expenses total $0.7 million. Life Insurance financial assets (cash, receivables, inventories, and short term investments) at March 31, 2003 were $280.7 million. Because of state insurance regulations that restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid to stockholders of insurance companies, these assets are generally not available to meet the obligations of AMERCO. Reference is made to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Insurance Operations.”

Consolidated group

      At June 30, 2003, total outstanding notes and mortgages payable for AMERCO and consolidated subsidiaries was $955.0 million compared to $954.9 million at March 31, 2003.

      At June 30, 2003, total outstanding notes and mortgages payable for SAC Holdings and consolidated subsidiaries, before intercompany eliminations were $982.7 million as compared to $983.2 million at March 31, 2003. SAC Holdings’ creditors have no recourse to AMERCO. AMERCO is not liable for the debts of SAC Holdings. Further, there are no cross default provisions on indebtedness between AMERCO and SAC Holdings.

      Due to the defaults and various cross defaults, the consolidated group has notes, loans and lease obligations due in one year of $1.2 billion. The group also had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $380.0 million. Liquid assets for the group totaled $412.5 million. AMERCO is in the process of refinancing and restructuring its debt to meet it’s liquidity needs.

U-HAUL Moving and Storage Operations

      Cash provided by operating activities was $48.1 million and $49.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

SAC Moving and Storage Operations

      SAC Holdings’ operations are funded by various mortgage loans and unsecured notes, with interest rates ranging from 7.5% to 13.0%. SAC Holdings’ does not utilize revolving lines of credit to finance its operations or acquisitions. Certain of SAC Holdings’ agreements contain restrictive covenants including coverage ratios and restrictions on incurring additional subsidiary indebtedness. At June 30, 2003, SAC Holdings was in compliance with all of these covenants.

Property and Casualty

      Cash used by operating activities was $28.2 million and $28.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is due to less change in unearned premiums offset by increased receivables.

      RepWest’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment portfolio was $25.1 million and $11.6 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

      RepWest maintains a diversified securities investment portfolio, primarily in bonds, at varying maturity levels with 71.2% of the fixed-income securities consisting of investment grade securities. The maturity distribution is designed to provide sufficient liquidity to meet future cash needs. Current liquidity remains stable with current invested assets equal to 72.9% of total liabilities.

      The liability for reported and unreported losses based upon RepWest’s historical results and industry averages. Unpaid loss adjustment expenses are based on historical ratios of loss adjustment expenses paid to losses paid. Unpaid loss and loss expenses are not discounted.

      Stockholder’s equity was $183.1 million and $199.1 million at March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. RepWest considers current shareholder’s equity to be adequate to support future growth and absorb unforeseen risk events.

Life Insurance

      Oxford’s primary sources of cash are premiums, receipts from interest-sensitive products, and investment income. The primary uses of cash are operating costs and benefit payments to policyholders. Matching the investment portfolio to the cash flow demands of the types of insurance being written is an important consideration. Benefit and claim statistics are continually monitored to provide projections of future cash requirements.

32


 

      Cash flows used by operating activities was $1.2 million, and $16.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $0.8 million, and $17.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. Cash flows from deferred annuity sales increased investment contract deposits, which are a component of financing activities.

      In addition to cash flows from operating and financing activities, a substantial amount of liquid funds is available through Oxford’s short-term portfolio. At March 31, 2003 and 2002 short-term investments amounted to $115.2 million and $57.5 million respectively. Management believes that the overall sources of liquidity will continue to meet foreseeable cash needs.

      Stockholders’ equity of Oxford decreased to $106.3 million from $111.1 for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, respectively.

      Applicable laws and regulations of the State of Arizona require the Company’s insurance subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital and surplus determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices. With respect to Oxford, the amount is $0.4 million. In addition, the amount of dividends that can be paid to shareholders by insurance companies domiciled in the State of Arizona is limited. Any dividends in excess of the limit requires prior regulatory approval. As of March 31, 2003, Oxford must receive regulatory approval before any statutory surplus can be distributed as dividends. These restrictions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to meet its cash obligations.

Consolidated Group

      Cash provided by operating activities was $42.6 million and $117.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

      On June 20, 2003 (the “Petition Date”), AMERCO filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (Case No. 0352103). AMERCO will continue to manage its properties and operate its businesses as “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. In general, as debtor-in-possession, AMERCO is authorized under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Specific information pertaining to the bankruptcy filing may be obtained from the website www.amerco.com. The Bankruptcy filing and the events of default on substantially all of the Company’s debt raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liability that might result from these uncertainties. The Company’s independent auditors qualified their opinion on the company’s March 31, 2003 financial statements by including an explanatory paragraph in which they expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

      At June 30, 2003, total outstanding notes and mortgages payable for AMERCO and wholly owned subsidiaries was $955.0 million compared to $954.9 million at March 31, 2003. At June 30, 2003, total outstanding notes and mortgages payable for SAC Holdings and consolidated subsidiaries was $982.7 million compared to $983.2 million at March 31, 2003. SAC Holdings’ securitized loan agreements have no guarantees, or triggers that could create a guarantee, from AMERCO. There are no cross default provisions on indebtedness between AMERCO and SAC Holdings.

      On October 15, 2002 the AMERCO failed to make a $100 million principal payment and a $3.6 million interest payment due to the Series 1997-C Bond Backed Asset Trust (“BBAT”) holders. On that date, the AMERCO also failed to pay a $26.6 million obligation, in the aggregate, to Citibank and Bank of America in connection with the BBATs. This expense was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003.

33


 

      As a result of the foregoing, the AMERCO is in default with respect to its other credit arrangements that contain cross-default provisions, including its 3-Year Credit Agreement dated June 28, 2002 (the “Revolver”) in the amount of $205.0 million. In addition to the cross-default under the Revolver, the Company is also in default under that agreement as a result of the Company’s failure to obtain incremental net cash proceeds and/or availability from additional financings in the aggregate amount of at least $150 million prior to October 15, 2002. In addition, Amerco Real Estate Company has defaulted on a $100 million loan by failing to grant mortgages required by the loan agreement in a timely manner. The obligations of the Company currently in default (either directly or as a result of a cross-default) are approximately $1,178.1 million.

      AMERCO does not have any ownership interest in SAC Holdings or its subsidiaries, except for investments made by RepWest and Oxford in a SAC Holdings — controlled limited partnership which holds Canadian self-storage properties. The presentation of the consolidated statements has no bearing on the credit agreements or the operations of either AMERCO or SAC Holdings.

      Due to the defaults that exist with respect to certain obligations of the Company we suspended the dividend payment to the holders of our Series A 8 1/2% preferred stock.

Credit Agreements

      Our operations are funded by various credit and financing arrangements, including unsecured long-term borrowings, unsecured medium-term notes, revolving lines of credit with banks and operating leases. The operating leases are primarily used to finance the Company’s fleet of trucks and trailers. As of June 30, 2003, we had $954.8 million in total notes and loans payable outstanding.

      On June 28, 2002, AMERCO entered into an agreement replacing an existing five year $400.0 million revolving credit agreement with the Revolver.

      Certain of our credit agreements contain restrictive financial and other covenants, including, among others, covenants with respect to incurring additional indebtedness, making third party guarantees, entering into contingent obligations, maintaining certain financial ratios, placing certain additional liens on our properties and assets, and restricting the issuance of certain types of preferred stock. Although AMERCO was in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2002, we were in default as of October 15, 2002 as a result of our failure to make the principal payment due to the BBAT holders and a covenant contained in the Revolver that required the completion of a $150 million financing.

Risk Factors

 
AMERCO has filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

      On June 20, 2003, AMERCO filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. AMERCO’s subsidiaries were not included in the initial filing. However, on August 13, 2003, Amerco Real Estate Company filed for protection under Chapter 11. AMERCO will continue to manage its properties and operate its businesses as “debtor-in-possession in” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. In order to exit Chapter 11 successfully, AMERCO will need to propose, and obtain confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court of, a plan of reorganization that satisfies the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code. Although AMERCO expects to file a “full-value” plan of reorganization that provides creditors with a combination of cash and new debt securities equal to the full amount of their allowed claims as well as AMERCO’s emergence from bankruptcy as a going concern, there can be no assurance at this time that a plan of reorganization will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court or that any such plan will be implemented successfully.

      The U.S. Trustee has appointed a Creditors’ Committee and an Equity Committee. The Creditors’ Committee, Equity Committee and their respective legal representatives have a right to be heard on certain matters that come before the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that the Creditors’ Committee and Equity Committee will support AMERCO’s positions or AMERCO’s ultimate plan of reorganization, once proposed, and disagreements between AMERCO and the Creditors’ Committee and Equity Committee could protract the Chapter 11 case, could negatively impact AMERCO’s ability to operate during the Chapter 11 case, and could prevent AMERCO’s emergence from Chapter 11.

      At this time, it is not possible to predict accurately the effect of the Chapter 11 reorganization process on the Company’s business or when AMERCO may emerge from Chapter 11. The Company’s future results depend on the timely and successful confirmation and implementation of a plan of reorganization. The rights and claims of various creditors and security holders will be determined by the plan as well. Although AMERCO expects to file and consummate a “full value” plan of reorganization that provides creditors with a combination of cash and new debt securities equal to the full amount of their allowed claims and also preserves the value of AMERCO’s common and preferred stock, no assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to each of these constituencies. Accordingly, the Company urges that appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any of such securities and claims.

We operate in a highly competitive industry.

      The truck rental industry is highly competitive and includes a number of significant national and hundreds of regional and local competitors. Competition is generally based on price, product quality, convenience, availability, brand name recognition and service. In our truck rental business, we face competition from Budget Car and Truck Rental Company and Penske Truck Leasing. Some of our competitors may have greater financial resources than we have. We cannot assure you that we will not be forced to reduce our rental prices or delay price increases.

      We compete with national and regional self-storage operators as well as local operators. Competition in the market areas in which we operate is significant and affects the occupancy levels, rental rates and operating expenses of our facilities. Competition might cause us to experience a decrease in occupancy levels, limit our ability to increase rental rates and compel us to offer discounted rental rates which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

      Entry into the self-storage business through acquisition of existing facilities is possible for persons or institutions with the required initial capital. Development of new self-storage facilities is more difficult, however, due to zoning, environmental and other regulatory requirements. The self-storage industry has in the past experienced overbuilding in response to perceived increases in demand. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete in existing markets or expand into new markets.

 
Control of AMERCO remains in the hands of a small contingent.

      As of June 30, 2003, Edward J. Shoen, Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of AMERCO, James P. Shoen, a director of AMERCO, and Mark V. Shoen, an executive officer of AMERCO, collectively own 8,893,078 shares (approximately 43.1%) of the outstanding common shares of AMERCO. Accordingly, Edward J. Shoen, Mark V. Shoen and James P. Shoen will be in a position to continue to influence the election of the members of the Board of Directors and approval of significant transactions. In addition, 2,402,456 shares (approximately 11.7%) of the outstanding common shares of AMERCO, including shares allocated to employees and unallocated shares, are held by our Employee Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Trust.

 
Our operations subject us to numerous environmental regulations and the possibility that environmental liability in the future could adversely affect our operations.

      Compliance with environmental requirements of federal, state and local governments significantly affects our business. Among other things, these requirements regulate the discharge of materials into the water, air and land and govern the use and disposal of hazardous substances. Under environmental laws, we can be held strictly liable for hazardous substances that are found on real property we have owned or operated. We are aware of issues regarding hazardous substances on some of our real estate and we have put in place a remedial plan at each site where we believe such a plan is necessary. We regularly make capital and operating expenditures to stay in compliance with environmental laws. In particular, we have managed a testing and removal program since 1988 for our underground storage tanks. Under this program, we spent $43.7 million between April 1988 and March 31, 2003. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is part of the nature of our business.

      While we do not expect the future cost of compliance with environmental laws or future environmental liabilities, including compliance and remediation costs, to have a material adverse effect on our business, environmental laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and could become more stringent in the future. We cannot assure you that future compliance with these regulations or future environmental liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

 
Our business is seasonal.

      Our business is seasonal and our results of operations and cash flows fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Historically, revenues have been stronger in the first and second fiscal quarters due to the overall

36


 

increase in moving activity during the spring and summer months. The fourth fiscal quarter is generally weakest, when there is a greater potential for adverse weather conditions.
 
We obtain our rental trucks from a limited number of manufacturers.

      In the last ten years, we purchased all of our rental trucks from Ford and General Motors. Although we believe that we have alternative sources of supply for our rental trucks, termination of one or more of our relationships with any of these suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 
Our property and casualty insurance business has suffered extensive losses.

      Our property and casualty insurance business, RepWest, has experienced significant net losses totaling approximately $77.0 million for the three calendar years ended December 31, 2002. These losses are primarily attributable to business lines that were unprofitable as underwritten. To restore profitability in RepWest, we are exiting all non-U-Haul related lines and the exit may result in near term losses as these lines are eliminated. Although we believe the changes will have a positive impact on the financial position of RepWest, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in returning RepWest to sustained profitability. Our inability to sustain profitability could have a material adverse effect on our earnings and financial position.

 
Our insurance businesses have recently suffered downgrades in their ratings from national insurance company rating agencies.

      A.M. Best has recently downgraded RepWest and Oxford. These downgrades have affected their standing in the insurance industry and caused their premiums to decrease. Ratings have become an increasingly important factor in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies. A.M. Best ratings reflect its opinion of an insurance company’s financial strength, operating performance, strategic position and ability to meet its obligations to policyholders. The A.M. Best ratings are C for RepWest and C+ for Oxford.

 
Notes receivable from SAC Holdings are a significant portion of AMERCO’S total assets.

      At June 30, 2003, we held $393.1 million of mortgage loans and notes due from SAC Holdings. Although these assets have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, we have significant economic exposure to SAC Holdings. SAC Holdings is highly leveraged with total outstanding indebtedness and other obligations of $982.7 million at June 30, 2003. We hold various senior and junior unsecured notes of SAC Holdings. The senior unsecured notes of SAC Holdings that we hold rank equal in right of payment with the notes of certain senior mortgage holders, but junior to the extent of the collateral securing the applicable mortgages and junior to the extent of the cash flow waterfalls that favor the senior mortgage holders. If SAC Holdings are unable to meet their obligations to their senior lenders, it could trigger a default on their obligations to us. In such an event of default, we could suffer a significant loss to the extent the value of the underlying collateral on our loans to SAC Holdings is inadequate to repay SAC Holdings’ senior lenders and us. We cannot assure you that SAC Holdings will not default on their loans to their senior lenders or that the value of SAC Holdings’ assets upon liquidation would be sufficient to repay us in full.

 
AMERCO is a holding company and is dependent on its subsidiaries for cash flow.

      As a holding company with no business operations, AMERCO’s material assets consist only of the stock of its subsidiaries. AMERCO will have to rely upon dividends and other payments from its subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to pay its obligations. AMERCO’s subsidiaries, however, are legally distinct from AMERCO and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to make funds available to AMERCO. The ability of AMERCO’s subsidiaries to make dividend and other payments to AMERCO is subject to, among other things, the availability of funds, the terms of the indebtedness of AMERCO’s subsidiaries and applicable state laws and insurance regulations.

We face risks related to an SEC investigation and securities litigation.

      The SEC has issued a formal order of investigation to determine whether we have violated the Federal securities laws. Although we have fully cooperated with the SEC in this matter and intend to continue to fully cooperate, the SEC may determine that we have violated Federal securities laws. We cannot predict when this investigation will be completed or its outcome. If the SEC makes a determination that we have violated Federal securities laws, we may face sanctions, including, but not limited to, significant monetary penalties and injunctive relief.

      In addition, the Company has been named a defendant in a number of class action and related lawsuits. The findings and outcome of the SEC investigation may affect the class-action lawsuits that are pending. We are generally obliged, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify our directors and officers who are named defendants in some of these lawsuits. We are unable to estimate what our liability in these matters may be, and we may be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses in aggregate amounts that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 
We face risks related to a Department of Labor Investigation.

      The DOL is presently investigating whether there were violations of ERISA involving the AMERCO Employee Savings, Profit Sharing, and Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Although the Company has fully cooperated with the DOL in this matter and intends to continue to fully cooperate, the DOL may determine that the Company has violated ERISA. In that event, the Company may face sanctions, including, but not limited to, significant monetary penalties and injunctive relief.

 
Our common stock may be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market.

      On June 24, 2003, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that, in light of AMERCO’s recent Chapter 11 filing, a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) would consider such filing and associated concerns in rendering a determination regarding AMERCO’s listing status. NASDAQ has requested, and we have provided, information regarding the Chapter 11 filing and the anticipated effect of the filing on the shareholders of AMERCO. On August 13, 2003, AMERCO received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Panel has determined to continue the listing of AMERCO’s common stock on Nasdaq provided that: (1) on or before August 22, 2003, AMERCO files this report and its Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002 with the SEC and Nasdaq (Nasdaq has been advised that this deadline was not met and further discussions with Nasdaq are anticipated); (2) on or before deadlines determined by the Panel, AMERCO submits to Nasdaq a copy of the Company’s plan of reorganization as filed with the bankruptcy court, a copy of any amendments to the plan of reorganization as submitted to the bankruptcy court; documentation evidencing that AMERCO has commenced the solicitation of votes regarding the plan of reorganization, as well as documentation evidencing that the plan of reorganization has been confirmed by the bankruptcy court; and (3) on or before January 9, 2004, AMERCO submits documentation to Nasdaq evidencing its emergence from bankruptcy. In addition to the foregoing, AMERCO must comply with all other requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. Although we have requested a modification of the above deadlines and intend to take all actions available to maintain our Nasdaq listing, there can be no assurance that AMERCO will be able to do so.

 
Our preferred stock may be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange

      The New York Stock Exchange has completed a review of the continued listing of the Series A 8 1/2% preferred stock of AMERCO following its filing for protection under Chapter 11. According to NYSE, this assessment has shown that the Company is currently in compliance with all of the NYSE’s quantitative continued listing standards. The NYSE will continue to closely monitor events at the Company in connection with assessing the appropriateness of continued listing of the Company’s preferred stock. The NYSE has indicated that it will give consideration to immediate suspension of the Company’s preferred stock if authoritative advice is received that the Company’s securities, including the common stock, are without value, or if the Company subsequently falls below any of the NYSE’s quantitative continued listing standards. In

38


 

addition, the NYSE noted that it may, at any time, suspend a security if it believes that continued dealings in the security on the NYSE are not advisable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company’s preferred stock will continue to be listed on NYSE.
 
RepWest has consented to an Order of Supervision issued by the Arizona Department of Insurance.

      On May 20, 2003, RepWest consented to an Order of Supervision issued by the DOI. Pursuant to this Order and Arizona law, during the period of supervision, RepWest may not engage in certain activities without the prior approval of the DOI.

      The requirements to abate the order are for RepWest to eliminate the specific credit risk associated with the exposures to AMERCO and its affiliates and establish that it possesses surplus sufficient with Arizona law and as the Arizona Director of Insurance may require based on type, volume or nature of its business pursuant to Arizona law.

      In addition, if RepWest fails to satisfy the requirements to abate DOI’s concerns, the DOI may take further action, including, but not limited to, commencing a conservatorship.

 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      Reference is made to Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, in AMERCO’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.

 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

      We maintain disclosure controls procedures, which are designed to ensure that material information related to AMERCO and its subsidiaries and SAC Holdings and their subsidiaries, is disclosed in our public filings on a regular basis. In response to recent legislation and proposed regulations, we reviewed our internal control structure and our disclosure controls and procedures. We believe our pre-existing disclosure controls and procedures are adequate to enable us to comply with our disclosure obligations.

      As of the end of the period covered by this report, members of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in causing material information to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Company on a timely basis and to ensure that the quality and timeliness of the Company’s public disclosures complies with its SEC disclosure obligations.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

      During the period covered by this report and during our second fiscal quarter of 2003, there were significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. These changes are summarized below:

      a.     We limited access to the general ledger (posting ability) to specifically identified individuals;

      b.     We require documentation for all journal postings;

      c.     We have hired a system administrator to document and map all accounting imports and exports to the various sub ledgers maintained throughout the organization;

      d.     We have initiated a formal cross training program to ensure that any unforseen loss of personnel does not adversely affect the financial reporting and disclosure processes;

      e.     We have hired additional accounting personnel; and

39


 

      f.     We are implementing control procedures to verify each inter company account is reconciled prior to each month end closing process.

      These changes are largely a result of a material weaknesses letter we received from our independent auditors in July. The Company is developing a plan to address these issues and implement a strategy to improve the overall control environment.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

      On July 20, 2000, Charles Kocher (“Kocher”) filed suit in Wetzel County, West Virginia, Civil Action No. 00-C-51-K, entitled Charles Kocher v. Oxford Life Insurance Co. (“Oxford”) seeking compensatory and punitive damages for breach of contract, bad faith and unfair claims settlement practices arising from an alleged failure of Oxford to properly and timely pay a claim under a disability and dismemberment policy. On March 22, 2002, the jury returned a verdict of $5 million in compensatory damages and $34 million in punitive damages. On November 5, 2002, the trial court entered an Order (“Order”) affirming the $39 million jury verdict and denying Oxford’s motion for New Trial Or, in The Alternative, Remittitur. Oxford has perfected its appeal to the West Virginia Supreme Court. Oral argument on the appeal petition occurred on September 9, 2003. Management does not believe that the Order is sustainable and expects the Order to be overturned by the West Virginia Supreme Court, in part because the jury award has no reasonable nexus to the actual harm suffered by Kocher. The Company has accrued $725,000, which represents management’s best estimate of the costs associated with legal fees to appeal and re-try the case and the company’s uninsured exposure to an unfavorable outcome.

      As previously discussed, on June 20, 2003, AMERCO filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As debtor-in-possession, AMERCO is authorized under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. As of the Petition Date, virtually all pending litigation against AMERCO is stayed, and absent further order of the Bankruptcy Court, no party, subject to certain exceptions, may take any action, again subject to certain exceptions, to recover on pre-petition claims against AMERCO. The automatic stay, however, does not apply to AMERCO’s subsidiaries, other than Amerco Real Estate Company, which filed for protection under Chapter 11, on August 13, 2003.

      On September 24, 2002, Paul F. Shoen filed a derivative action in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captioned Paul F. Shoen vs. SAC Holding Corporation et al, CV02-05602, seeking damages and equitable relief on behalf of AMERCO from SAC Holdings and certain current and former members of the AMERCO Board of Directors, including Edward J. Shoen, Mark V. Shoen and James P. Shoen as defendants. AMERCO is named a nominal defendant for purposes of the derivative action. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty, self-dealing, usurpation of corporate opportunities, wrongful interference with prospective economic advantage and unjust enrichment and seeks the unwinding of sales of self-storage properties by subsidiaries of AMERCO to SAC Holdings over the last several years. The complaint seeks a declaration that such transfers are void as well as unspecified damages. On October 28, 2002, AMERCO, the Shoen directors, the non-Shoen directors and SAC Holdings filed Motions to Dismiss the complaint. In addition, on October 28, 2002, Ron Belec filed a derivative action in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captioned Ron Belec vs. William E. Carty, et al, CV 02-06331 and on January 16, 2003, M.S. Management Company, Inc. filed a derivative action in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captioned M.S. Management Company, Inc. vs. William E. Carty, et. al, CV 03-00386. Two additional derivative suits were also filed against these parties. These additional suits are substantially similar to the Paul F. Shoen derivative action. The five suits assert virtually identical claims. In fact, three of the five plaintiffs are parties who are working closely together and chose to file the same claims multiple times. The court consolidated all five complaints before he dismissed them on May 8, 2003. Plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal. These lawsuits falsely alleged that the AMERCO Board lacked independence. In reaching his decision to dismiss these claims, the

40


 

court determined that the AMERCO Board of Directors had the requisite level of independence required in order to have these claims resolved by the Board.

      A subsidiary of U-Haul, INW Company (“INW”), owns one property located within two different state hazardous substance sites in the State of Washington. The sites are referred to as the “Yakima Valley Spray Site” and the “Yakima Railroad Area.” INW has been named as a “potentially liable party” under state law with respect to this property as it relates to both sites. As a result of the cleanup costs of approximately $5.0 million required by the State of Washington, INW filed for reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws in May of 2001. A successful mediation with other liable parties has occurred and future potential liability to INW will be in the range of $750,000 to $1.25 million.

      The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has issued a formal order of investigation to determine whether the Company has violated the Federal securities laws. On January 7, 2003, the Company received the first of four subpoenas issued by the SEC. SAC Holdings, the Company’s current and former auditors, and others have also received one or more subpoenas relating to this matter. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC and is facilitating the expeditious review of its financial statements and any other issues that may arise. The Company has produced a large volume of documents and other materials in response to the subpoenas, and the Company is continuing to assemble and produce additional documents and materials for the SEC. Although the Company has fully cooperated with the SEC in this matter and intends to continue to fully cooperate, the SEC may determine that the Company has violated Federal securities laws. We cannot predict when this investigation will be completed or its outcome. If the SEC makes a determination that we have violated Federal securities laws, we may face sanctions, including, but not limited to, significant monetary penalties and injunctive relief.

      AMERCO is a defendant in four putative class action lawsuits. Article Four Trust v. AMERCO, et al., District of Nevada, United States District Court, Case No. CV-N-03-0050-DWH-VPC. Article Four Trust, a purported AMERCO shareholder, commenced this action on January 28, 2003 on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or acquired AMERCO securities between February 12, 1998 and September 26, 2002. The Article Four Trust action alleges one claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Mates v. AMERCO, et al., United States District Court, District of Nevada, Case No. CV-N-03-0107. Maxine Mates, an AMERCO shareholder, commenced this putative class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or acquired AMERCO securities between February 12, 1998 and September 26, 2002. The Mates action asserts claims under section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5, and section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. Klug v. AMERCO, et al., United States District Court of Nevada, Case No. CV-S-03-0380. Edward Klug, an AMERCO shareholder, commenced this putative class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or acquired AMERCO securities between February 12, 1998 and September 26, 2002. The Klug action asserts claims under section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 and section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. IG Holdings v. AMERCO, et al., United States District Court, District of Nevada, Case No. CV-N-03-0199. IG Holdings, an AMERCO bondholder, commenced this putative class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased, acquired, or traded AMERCO bonds between February 12, 1998 and September 26, 2002, alleging claims under section 11 and section 12 of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5, and section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. Each of these four securities class actions allege that AMERCO engaged in transactions with SAC entities that falsely improved AMERCO’s financial statements, and that AMERCO failed to disclose the transactions properly. The actions are at a very early stage. The Klug action has not been served. In the other three actions, AMERCO does not currently have a deadline by which it must respond to the complaints. Management has stated that it intends to defend these cases vigorously. We have filed a notice of AMERCO’s bankruptcy petition and the automatic stay in each of the Courts where these cases are pending.

      The United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) is presently investigating whether there were violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) involving the AMERCO Employee Savings, Profit Sharing, and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”). The DOL has interviewed a number of Company representatives as well as the Plan fiduciaries and has issued a subpoena to the Company and a subpoena to SAC Holdings. At the present time, the Company is unable to determine whether the DOL will assert any claims against the Company, SAC Holdings, or the Plan fiduciaries. The

41


 

DOL has asked AMERCO and its current directors as well as the Plan Trustees to sign an agreement tolling the statute of limitations until December 31, 2003 with respect to any claims arising out of certain transactions between AMERCO or any affiliate of AMERCO and SAC Holdings or any of its affiliates and such persons have done so. The DOL recently asked such parties to extend the tolling agreement. The DOL has not advised the Company that it believes that any violations of ERISA have in fact occurred. Instead, the DOL is simply investigating potential violations. The Company intends to take any corrective action that may be needed in light of the DOL’s ultimate findings. Although the Company has fully cooperated with the DOL in this matter and intends to continue to fully cooperate, the DOL may determine that the Company has violated ERISA. In that event, the Company may face sanctions, including, but not limited to, significant monetary penalties and injunctive relief.

Item 3.     Defaults Upon Senior Securities

      (a)     On October 15, 2002, AMERCO failed to make a $100 million principal payment and a $3.6 million interest payment due to the Series 1997-C Bond Backed Asset Trust. On that date, AMERCO also failed to pay $26.6 million in the aggregate to Citibank and Bank of America in connection with the early extinguishment of the Series 1997-C bonds. As a result of the foregoing, AMERCO is in default with respect to the other contractual obligations and commercial commitments listed below, which contain cross-default provisions, including its 3-Year Credit Agreement dated June 28, 2002 (the “Revolver”). In addition to the cross-default under the Revolver, the AMERCO is also in default under that agreement as a result of its failure to obtain incremental net cash proceeds and/or availability from additional financings in an aggregate amount of at least $150.0 million prior to October 15, 2002. In addition, Amerco Real Estate Company has defaulted on a $100 million loan by failing to grant mortgages required by the loan agreement in a timely manner. The total amount of indebtedness currently in default (either directly or as a result of a cross-default) is approximately $1,178.1 million.

(b) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Agent shall have the right to establish reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against the Borrowing Base, including reserves with respect to (i) Carve-Out Expenses up to the Carve-Out Amount, (ii) sums that Borrowers are required to pay (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and have failed to pay under any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) amounts required to be paid to any Governmental Authority for mortgage, stamp or other documentary taxes with 33 respect to any Mortgage delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (iv) amounts owing by Borrowers or their Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely would have a priority superior to the Agent's Liens (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral; provided, however, the amount of any such reserve established by Agent in its Permitted Discretion after the Closing Date shall only be reduced with the consent of the Required Lenders. (c) The Lenders with Revolver Commitments shall have no obligation to make additional Advances hereunder to the extent such additional Advances would cause the Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. (d) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. 2.2 TERM LOAN. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Drawdown Date each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make term loans (collectively, the "Term Loan") to Borrowers in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Term Loan Amount, or (ii) the Borrowing Base less the Revolver Usage as of such date. The Term Loan shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date. (b) The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the date of termination of this Agreement, whether by its terms, by prepayment, or by acceleration.

Each Borrowing shall be made by an irrevocable written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent (which notice must be received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day; provided, however, that (x) in the case of a request for Swing Loan in an amount of $1,000,000, or less, such notice will be timely received if it is received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date, and (y) in the case of the Term Loan, Agent shall have received three Business Days' notice prior to the requested Funding Date, if such Funding Date will be prior to August 29, 2003), specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day. At Agent's election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time, with such telephonic notice to be confirmed in writing within 24 34 hours of the giving of such notice and the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request. Upon the making of any request for a Borrowing hereunder, Borrowers shall be deemed to have certified that all conditions set forth in Section 3.3 hereof have been satisfied. (b) AGENT'S ELECTION. Promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Agent shall elect, in its discretion, (i) to have the terms of Section 2.3(c) apply to such requested Borrowing, or (ii) if the Borrowing is for an Advance, to request Swing Lender to make a Swing Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3(d) in the amount of the requested Borrowing; provided, however, that if Swing Lender declines in its sole discretion to make a Swing Loan pursuant to Section 2.3(d), Agent shall elect to have the terms of Section 2.3(c) apply to such requested Borrowing. (c) MAKING OF ADVANCES. (i) In the event that Agent shall elect to have the terms of this Section 2.3(c) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in Section 2.3(b), then promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto (or two Business Days immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto in the case of the Term Loan), by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent's Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent's receipt of the proceeds of such Advances (or the Term Loan, as applicable), upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Administrative Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to Administrative Borrower's Designated Account; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(i), Agent shall not request any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any Advance (or its portion of the Term Loan) if Agent shall have actual knowledge that (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Closing Date, prior to 9:00 a.m. (California time) on the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to 35 Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrowers such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender's Advance (or portion of the Term Loan, as applicable) on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Administrative Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances (or portion of the Term Loan, as applicable) composing such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance (or portion of the Term Loan, as applicable) on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make an Advance (or portion of the Term Loan, as applicable) on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date. (iii) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrowers to Agent for the Defaulting Lender's benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender member of the Lender Group ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender's Advance was funded by the other members of the Lender Group) or, if so directed by Administrative Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender's Advance was not funded by the Lender Group), retain same to be re-advanced to Borrowers as if such Defaulting Lender had made Advances to Borrowers. Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a "Lender" and such Lender's Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Administrative Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender's default in writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Advance and pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect thereof. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the 36 performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Administrative Borrower at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever; provided further, however, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups' or Borrowers' rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. (d) MAKING OF SWING LOANS. (i) In the event Agent shall elect, with the consent of Swing Lender, as a Lender, to have the terms of this Section 2.3(d) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in Section 2.3(b), Swing Lender as a Lender shall make such Advance in the amount of such Borrowing (any such Advance made solely by Swing Lender as a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(d) being referred to as a "Swing Loan" and such Advances being referred to collectively as "Swing Loans") available to Borrowers on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to Administrative Borrower's Designated Account. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Advances, except that all payments on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender as a Lender solely for its own account (and for the account of the holder of any participation interest with respect to such Swing Loan). Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(i), Agent shall not request Swing Lender, as a Lender, to make, and Swing Lender as a Lender shall not make, any Swing Loan if Agent has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (ii) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Swing Lender as a Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making, in its sole discretion, any Swing Loan. 37 (ii) The Swing Loans shall be secured by the Agent's Liens, shall constitute Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. (e) AGENT ADVANCES. (i) Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent's sole discretion, (1) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (2) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have not been satisfied, to make Advances to Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral and any other collateral securing the Obligations, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations), or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Lender Group Expenses and the costs, fees, and expenses described in Section 10 (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.3(e) shall be referred to as "Agent Advances"), provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3(e), the aggregate principal amount of Agent Advances outstanding at any one time, when taken together with the aggregate principal amount of Overadvances made in accordance with Section 2.3(i) outstanding at any time, shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 5.0% of the Borrowing Base then in effect and (y) $10,000,000. Each Agent Advance shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Advances, except that no such Agent Advance shall be eligible for the LIBOR Option and all payments thereon shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account (and for the account of the holder of any participation interest with respect to such Agent Advances). (ii) The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and secured by the Agent's Liens granted to Agent under the Loan Documents, shall constitute Advances and Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. (f) SETTLEMENT. It is agreed that each Lender's funded portion of the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the Agent Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: (i) Agent shall request settlement ("Settlement") with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent, (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to each outstanding Swing Loan, (2) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and (3) with respect to Borrowers' or 38 their Subsidiaries' Collections received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the "Settlement Date"). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances (including Swing Loans and Agent Advances) for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.3(c)(iii)): (y) if a Lender's balance of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Agent Advances) exceeds such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Agent Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate) an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Agent Advances), and (z) if a Lender's balance of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances is less than such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Agent Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the Agent's Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and Agent Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion of such Swing Loan or Agent Advance representing Swing Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate. (ii) In determining whether a Lender's balance of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, and fees payable by Borrowers and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral and any other collateral securing the obligations. To the extent that a net amount is owed to any such Lender after such application, such net amount shall be distributed by Agent to that Lender as part of such next Settlement. (iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Agent Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Lender any payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to Swing 39 Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each Lender (subject to the effect of letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) with respect to the Advances other than Swing Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.

As more fully set forth in Section 2.16 and Section 14.1(h) Agent shall record on its books the principal amount of the Advances (or portion of the Term Loan, as applicable) owing to each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing Lender, and Agent Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such records shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate. In addition, each Lender is authorized, at such Lender's option, to note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender's Advances (or portion of Term Loan, as applicable) in its books and records, including computer records and such records shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate. (h) LENDERS' FAILURE TO PERFORM. All Advances (other than Swing Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder. (i) OPTIONAL OVERADVANCES. Any contrary provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, and Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances to Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby would be created, so long as (i) after giving effect to such Advances, the sum of the outstanding Revolver Usage and the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan does not exceed the Borrowing Base by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 5.0% of the Borrowing Base and (y) $10,000,000, (ii) after giving effect to such Advances the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Overadvances made pursuant to this Section 2.3(i) when taken together with the aggregate principal amount of Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 2.3(e) does not exceed at any 40 time an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 5.0% of the Borrowing Base then in effect and (y) $10,000,000, and (iv) at the time of the making of any such Advance (including a Swing Loan), Agent does not believe, in good faith, that the Overadvance created by such Advance will be outstanding for more than 90 days. The foregoing provisions are for the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrowers in any way. The Advances and Swing Loans, as applicable, that are made pursuant to this Section 2.3(i) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as any other Advance or Swing Loan, as applicable, except that they shall not be eligible for the LIBOR Option and the rate of interest applicable thereto shall be the rate applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans under Section 2.6(c) hereof without regard to the presence or absence of a Default or Event of Default. (i) In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the preceding paragraph, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations or its value), and the Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrowers and intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances to Borrowers to an amount permitted by the preceding paragraph. In the event Agent or any Lender disagrees over the terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. (ii) Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to settle with Agent as provided in Section 2.3(f) for the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.3(i), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses. 2.4 PAYMENTS. (a) PAYMENTS BY BORROWERS. (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers shall be made to Agent's Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b)(iii) below, any payment received by Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (California time), shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day. 41 (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Administrative Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrowers do not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. (b) APPORTIONMENT AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. (i) Except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (including letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), aggregate principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent's separate account, after giving effect to any letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee relates. All payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments, and all proceeds of any Loan Party's Accounts or other Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied as follows: (A) first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses then due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, (B) second, to pay any Lender Group Expenses then due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, on a ratable basis, until paid in full, (C) third, to pay any fees then due to Agent (for its separate accounts, after giving effect to any letter agreements between Agent and the individual Lenders) under the Loan Documents until paid in full, (D) fourth, to pay any fees then due to any or all of the Lenders (after giving effect to any letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) under the Loan Documents, on a ratable basis, until paid in full, (E) fifth, to pay interest due in respect of all Agent Advances, until paid in full, (F) sixth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Advances (other than Agent Advances), the Swing Loans, and the Term Loan until paid in full, 42 (G) seventh, to pay the principal of all Agent Advances until paid in full, (H) eighth, to pay the principal of all Swing Loans until paid in full, (I) ninth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and at Agent's election (which election Agent agrees will not be made if an Overadvance would be created thereby), to pay amounts then due and owing by Administrative Borrower or its Subsidiaries in respect of Bank Products in an amount up to the amount of the Bank Product Reserves, until paid in full, (J) tenth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay the principal of all Advances until paid in full, (K) eleventh, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, ratably to pay all principal amounts then due and payable (other than as a result of an acceleration thereof) with respect to the Term Loan until paid in full, (L) twelfth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, ratably (i) to pay the principal amount of all Advances until paid in full, and (ii) to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the ratable benefit of Issuing Lender and those Lenders having a Revolver Commitment, as cash collateral in an amount up to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage until paid in full, (M) thirteenth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan until the Term Loan is paid in full, (N) fourteenth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Agent, to be held by Agent for the benefit of the Bank Product Providers, as cash collateral in an amount up to the amount of the Bank Product Reserve established prior to the occurrence of, and not in contemplation of, the subject Event of Default until Administrative Borrower's and its Subsidiaries' obligations in respect of the then extant Bank Products have been paid in full or the cash collateral amount has been exhausted, (O) fifteenth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay any other Obligations (including Bank Product Obligations) until paid in full, and (P) sixteenth, to Borrowers (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. 43 (ii) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.3(h). (iii) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Section 2.4(b) shall not be deemed to apply to any payment by Borrowers specified by Borrowers to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement. (iv) For purposes of the foregoing, "paid in full" means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding. (v) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern. 2.5 OVERADVANCES. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) owed by Borrowers to the Lender Group pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.12 is greater than either the Dollar or percentage limitations set forth in Sections 2.1 or 2.12, (an "Overadvance"), Borrowers immediately shall pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b). In addition, Borrowers hereby promise to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full to the Lender Group as and when due and payable under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 2.6 INTEREST RATES AND LETTER OF CREDIT FEE: RATES, PAYMENTS, AND CALCULATIONS. (a) INTEREST RATES. Except as provided in clause (c) below, all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows (i) if the relevant Obligation is an Advance that is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, (ii) if the relevant Obligation is a portion of the Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, (iii) if the relevant Obligation is a portion of the Term Loan that is a Base Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the 44 Base Rate Margin, and (iv) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin. (b) LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. Borrowers shall pay Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders with a Revolver Commitment, subject to any letter agreement between Agent and individual Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in Section 2.12(f)) which shall accrue at a rate equal to 3.50% per annum times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. (c) DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (and at the election of Agent or the Required Lenders), (i) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2.00 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder, and (ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for above shall be increased to 2.00 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder. (d) PAYMENT. Interest (other than Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans), Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month at any time that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding. Borrowers hereby authorize Agent, from time to time, without prior notice to Borrowers, to charge all interest and fees, all Lender Group Expenses (as and when incurred), the charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for in Section 2.12(f) (as and when accrued or incurred), the fees and costs provided for in Section 2.11 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document (including the installments due and payable with respect to the Term Loan and including any amounts due and payable to Bank Product Providers in respect of Bank Products up to the amount of the then extant Bank Product Reserve) to Borrowers' Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by being charged to Borrowers' Loan Account and shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans hereunder. (e) COMPUTATION. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate. (f) INTENT TO LIMIT CHARGES TO MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and the Lender Group, in 45 executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess. 2.7 CASH MANAGEMENT. (a) Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of the Guarantors to, (i) establish and maintain cash management services of a type and on terms satisfactory to Agent at one or more of the banks set forth on Schedule 2.7(a) (each, a "Cash Management Bank"), and shall immediately after closing request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all of their Account Debtors forward payment of the amounts owed by them directly to such Cash Management Bank, and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all Collections (including those sent directly by their Account Debtors to a Cash Management Bank or Collections received at a retail location of any Borrower or any Guarantor) into a bank account in Agent's name (a "Cash Management Account") at one of the Cash Management Banks. (b) The Cash Management Bank maintaining the Concentration Account and such other Cash Management Banks as may be required by Agent shall establish and maintain Cash Management Agreements with Agent and Borrowers, in form and substance acceptable to Agent. Each such Cash Management Agreement shall provide, among other things, that (i) all items of payment deposited in such Cash Management Account and proceeds thereof are held by such Cash Management Bank as agent or bailee-in-possession for Agent, (ii) the Cash Management Bank has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Cash Management Account, other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Cash Management Account and for returned checks or other items of payment, and (iii) it immediately will forward by daily sweep all amounts in the applicable Cash Management Account to the Concentration Account. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Cash Management Agreement applicable to the Concentration Account, all amounts received in the Concentration Account shall be swept into the Agent's Account. (c) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Borrower may amend Schedule 2.7(a) or (b) to add or replace a Cash Management Account Bank or Cash Management Account; provided, however, that (i) such prospective Cash Management Bank shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Agent shall have consented in writing in advance to the opening of such Cash Management Account with the prospective Cash Management Bank, and (ii) prior to the time of the opening of such Cash Management Account, Borrowers or Guarantors, as applicable, and such prospective Cash Management Bank shall have executed and delivered to Agent a Cash Management Agreement. Borrowers or Guarantor, as applicable, shall close any of their Cash Management Accounts (and establish replacement cash management accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event within 30 days of notice from Agent that the creditworthiness of any 46 Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within 60 days of notice from Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or performance of the Cash Management Bank with respect to Cash Management Accounts or Agent's liability under any Cash Management Agreement with such Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment. (d) The Cash Management Accounts shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Obligations, and in which Borrowers are hereby deemed to have granted a Lien to Agent. 2.8 CREDITING PAYMENTS. The receipt of any payment item by Agent (whether from transfers to Agent by the Cash Management Banks pursuant to the Cash Management Agreements or otherwise) shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to the Agent's Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into the Agent's Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. (California time). If any item is received into the Agent's Account on a non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. 2.9 DESIGNATED ACCOUNT. Agent is authorized to make the Advances and the Term Loan, and Issuing Lender is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person, or without instructions if pursuant to Section 2.6(d). Administrative Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrowers and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Administrative Borrower, any Advance, Agent Advance, or Swing Loan requested by Borrowers and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account. 2.10 MAINTENANCE OF LOAN ACCOUNT; STATEMENTS OF OBLIGATIONS. Lender shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (the "Loan Account") on which Borrowers will be charged with the Term Loan, all Advances (including Agent Advances and Swing Loans) made by Agent, Swing Lender, or the Lenders to Borrowers or for Borrowers' account, the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender for Borrowers' account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank Product Obligations), including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.8, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrowers or for Borrowers' account, including all amounts received in the Agent's Account from any Cash Management Bank. Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to Administrative Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and 47 constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Administrative Borrower, Administrative Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements. 2.11 FEES. Borrowers shall pay to Agent the following fees and charges, which fees and charges shall be fully earned and due and non-refundable when paid (irrespective of whether this Agreement is terminated thereafter) and shall be apportioned among the Lenders in accordance with the terms of letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders: (a) UNUSED LINE FEE. On the first day of each month during the term of this Agreement, an unused line fee (the "Unused Line Fee") in the amount equal to 0.5% per annum times the result of (a) the Maximum Revolver Amount, less (b) the sum of (i) the average Daily Balance of Advances that were outstanding during the immediately preceding month, plus (ii) the average Daily Balance of the Letter of Credit Usage during the immediately preceding month, (b) FEE LETTER FEES. As and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, and (c) AUDIT, APPRAISAL, AND VALUATION CHARGES. Audit, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges as follows, (i) a fee of $850 per day, per auditor, plus out-of-pocket expenses for each financial audit of a Borrower performed by personnel employed by a Lender, and (ii) the actual charges paid or incurred by Agent if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons to perform financial audits of Borrowers, to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or to assess a Borrower's business valuation. 2.12 LETTERS OF CREDIT. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrowers (each, an "L/C") or to purchase participations or execute indemnities or reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an "L/C Undertaking") with respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer is to be Wells Fargo) for the account of Borrowers. To request the issuance of an L/C or an L/C Undertaking (or the amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding L/C or L/C Undertaking), Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of an L/C or L/C Undertaking, or identifying the L/C or L/C Undertaking to be amended, renewed, or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension, the date on which such L/C or L/C Undertaking is to expire, the amount of such L/C or L/C Undertaking, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof (or of the Underlying Letter of Credit, as applicable), and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such L/C or L/C Undertaking. If requested by the Issuing Lender, Borrowers also shall be an applicant under the application with respect to any Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking. The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit: 48 (i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Borrowing Base less the amount of outstanding Advances less the outstanding balance of the Term Loan, or (ii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $50,000,000, or (iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount less the then extant amount of outstanding Advances. (b) Borrowers and the Lender Group acknowledge and agree that certain Underlying Letters of Credit may be issued to support letters of credit that already are outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit (and corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion), including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Lender is obligated to advance funds under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers immediately shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement to Issuing Lender by paying to Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m. (California time), on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if Administrative Borrower shall have received written or telephonic notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. (California time), on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by Administrative Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m. (California time), on (i) the Business Day that Administrative Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (California time), on the date of receipt, and, in the absence of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, thereafter, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans under Section 2.6. To the extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrowers' obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.12(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interest may appear. (c) Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.12(a), each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested such Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. 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 Lender or the Lenders with Revolver Commitment, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with a Revolver Commitment, and each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by 49 the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in clause (a) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3 hereof. If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender. Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full. (d) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Lender Group arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender Group. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer's regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender's interpretations of any L/C issued by Issuing Lender to or for such Borrower's account, even though this interpretation may be different from such Borrower's own, and each Borrower understands and agrees that the Lender Group shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowers' instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by the Lender Group under any L/C Undertaking as a result of the Lender Group's indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender Group. (e) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender's instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application. (f) Any and all charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately shall be reimbursable by Borrowers to Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the usage charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum times 50 the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals. (g) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto): (i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or (ii) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto; and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Lender Group of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by the Lender Group, then, and in any such case, Agent may (and at the direction of the Required Lenders, Agent shall), at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Administrative Borrower, and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Lender Group for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto. 2.13 LIBOR OPTION. (a) INTEREST AND INTEREST PAYMENT DATES. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall have the option (the "LIBOR Option") to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances or the Term Loan be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which the Required Lenders or Agent on behalf thereof elect to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Administrative Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers no longer shall have the option to request that Advances or the Term Loan bear interest at the LIBOR Rate and Agent shall have the right to 51 convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. (b) LIBOR ELECTION. (i) Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (California time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the "LIBOR Deadline"). Notice of Administrative Borrower's election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Advances or the Term Loan and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders having a Revolver Commitment. (ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrowers. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate 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 LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, "Funding Losses"). Funding Losses shall, with respect to Agent or any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount determined by Agent or such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, 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 therefor), minus (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to be offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to Administrative Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (iii) Borrowers shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. Borrowers only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR 52 Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof. (c) PREPAYMENTS. Borrowers may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of Collections in accordance with Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with clause (b) above. (d) SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LIBOR RATE. (i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Administrative Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Administrative Borrower may, by notice to the affected Lender (y) require such Lender to furnish to Administrative Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under clause (b)(ii) above). (ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Administrative Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender's notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so. 53 (e) NO REQUIREMENT OF MATCHED FUNDING. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if each Lender or its Participants had match-funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans. 2.14 CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), will have the effect of reducing the return on such Lender's or such holding company's capital as a consequence of such Lender's Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such holding company's then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity's capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Administrative Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender's calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 2.15 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF BORROWERS. (a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. (b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.15), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. (c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. 54 (d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.15 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each such Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever. (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Advances or Letters of Credit issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Agent or Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Agent or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Agent or Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Borrowers assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Agent or Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.15 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.15, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Agent or Lender. The joint and several liability of the Persons composing Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, constitution or place of formation of any of the Persons composing Borrowers or any Agent or Lender. (f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers' financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, 55 and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations. (g) The provisions of this Section 2.15 are made for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all of Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any such Agent, Lender, successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. Notwithstanding the entry of an order confirming a reorganization plan pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Agent or Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.15 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made. (h) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrowers with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to Agent or the Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to Agent or Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor. (i) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Agent, and the Agent shall deliver any such amounts to Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(b). 2.16 REGISTERED NOTES. Agent agrees to record each Advance and each Lender's Term Loan on the Register referenced in Section 14.1(h). Each Advance and each Lender's Term 56 Loan recorded on the Register (each a "Registered Loan") may not be evidenced by promissory notes other than Registered Notes (as defined below). Upon the registration of any Advance or any Lender's Term Loan, Borrowers agree at the request of any Lender, to execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, in conformity with the terms of this Agreement, in registered form to evidence such Registered Loan, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Lender, and registered as provided in Section 14.1(h) (a "Registered Note"), payable to the order of such Lender and otherwise duly completed, provided that any Registered Note issued to evidence Advances or any Lender's Term Loan shall be issued in the principal amount of the applicable Lender's Revolver Commitment or Term Loan Commitment. Once recorded on the Register, each Advance and each Lender's Term Loan may not be removed from the Register so long as it or they remain outstanding, and a Registered Note may not be exchanged for a promissory note that it is not a Registered Note. 2.17 SUPER-PRIORITY NATURE OF OBLIGATIONS. All Obligations under the Loan Documents shall constitute administrative expenses of Borrowers in the Chapter 11 Case with priority under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and secured by Liens under Sections 362(c)(2) and (3) of the Bankruptcy Code over any and all other administrative expenses of the kind specified in, without limitation, Sections 105, 326, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b) and 726 of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall also have priority over any other claims and liens, including any claims arising under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject and subordinate only to (a) the Carve-Out Expenses up to the Carve-Out Amount, (b) Senior Claims, and (c) recoveries under Avoidance Actions, which claims to the Avoidance Actions shall attach pari passu with other administrative claimants. No other claim having a priority superior or pari passu to that granted to or on behalf of Agent and the Lender Group by the Interim Order or the Final Order, as the case may be, shall be granted or approved while any of the Obligations or the Commitments under this Agreement remain outstanding. 3.

Each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, a continuing security interest in all of its right, title, and interest in all currently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Personal Property Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all of the Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrowers of each of their covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. The Agent's Liens in and to the Personal Property Collateral shall attach to all Personal Property Collateral without further act on the part of Agent or Borrowers. Anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, except for Permitted Dispositions, Borrowers have no authority, express or implied, to dispose of any item or portion of the Collateral. 4.2 NEGOTIABLE COLLATERAL AND CHATTEL PAPER. Each Borrower covenants and agrees with Agent that from and after the Closing Date and until the date of termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.5: (a) In the event that any Collateral, including proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral of any Borrower, and if and to the extent that perfection of priority of Agent's security interest with respect to such Collateral is dependent on or enhanced by possession, the applicable Borrower, immediately upon the request of Agent, shall endorse and deliver physical possession of such Negotiable Collateral to Agent; (b) Upon request by Agent, each Borrower shall take all steps reasonably necessary to grant Agent control of all electronic Chattel Paper of such Borrower in accordance with the Code and all "transferable records" as defined in each of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act; and (c) In the event any Borrower, with Agent's consent, retains possession of any Chattel Paper or instruments otherwise required to be endorsed and delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 4.2(a), all of such Chattel Paper and instruments shall be marked with the following legend: "This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured thereby are subject to the security interest of Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as Agent." 4.3 COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS, GENERAL INTANGIBLES, AND NEGOTIABLE COLLATERAL. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent or Agent's designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of Borrowers that Borrowers' Accounts, Chattel Paper, or General Intangibles (other than the Excluded Assets) have been assigned to 65 Agent or that Agent has a security interest therein, or (b) collect Borrowers' Accounts, Chattel Paper, or General Intangibles (other than the Excluded Assets) directly and charge the collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account. Each Borrower agrees that it will hold in trust for the Lender Group, as the Lender Group's trustee, any Collections that it receives and immediately will deliver said Collections to Agent or a Cash Management Bank in their original form as received by the applicable Borrower. 4.4 DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file, transmit, or communicate, as applicable, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments describing the Collateral as "all personal property of debtor" or "all assets of debtor" or words of similar effect in order to perfect Agent's Liens on the Collateral without any Borrower's signature, to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, Agent shall clearly identify Excluded Assets as excepted items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time upon the request of Agent, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent, any and all financing statements, original financing statements in lieu of continuation statements, fixture filings, security agreements, pledges, assignments, endorsements of certificates of title, supplements, and all other documents (the "Additional Documents") upon which Borrower's signature may be required that Agent may request in its Permitted Discretion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to perfect and continue perfection of or better perfect the Agent's Liens in the Collateral (whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired), to create and perfect Liens in favor of Agent in any Real Property acquired after the Closing Date, and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Loan Documents. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower authorizes Agent to execute any such Additional Documents in the applicable Borrower's name and authorize Agent to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office, and Agent shall provide Administrative Borrower with copies of any such filings; provided, however, that the failure by Agent to so provide such filings shall not affect the authorizations herein. Each Borrower also hereby ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed in any jurisdiction any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the Closing Date. No Borrower shall terminate, amend or file a correction statement with respect to any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement filed pursuant to this Section 4.4 without Agent's prior written consent.

Each Borrower shall provide Agent with notice that any Borrower or any Guarantor has made a Permitted Investment (other than an Investment in its Subsidiaries made in the ordinary course of business) promptly, but in any event within 5 Business Days, following the consummation thereof and, upon the request of Agent, shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered to Agent) any and all Additional Documents requested by Agent to perfect the Agent's Liens in such Permitted Investment. 66 4.5 POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and appoints Agent (and any of Agent's officers, employees, or agents designated by Agent) as such Borrower's true and lawful attorney, with power to (a) if such Borrower refuses to execute and deliver, or fails timely to execute and deliver any of the documents described in Section 4.4, sign the name of such Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.4, (b) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, sign such Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Collateral, drafts against Account Debtors of such Borrower, or notices to such Account Debtors, (c) send requests for verification of such Borrower's Accounts, (d) endorse such Borrower's name on any Collection item that may come into the Lender Group's possession, (e) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Borrower's policies of insurance and make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, and (f) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting such Borrower's Accounts, Chattel Paper, or General Intangibles other than the Excluded Assets directly with Account Debtors of such Borrower, for amounts and upon terms that Agent determines to be reasonable, and Agent may cause to be executed and delivered any documents and releases that Agent determines to be necessary. The appointment of Agent as each Borrower's attorney, and each and every one of its rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully and finally repaid and performed and the Lender Group's obligations to extend credit hereunder are terminated. 4.6 RIGHT TO INSPECT. Agent and each Lender (through any of their respective officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, from time to time hereafter to inspect Borrowers' Books and records and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations in order to verify Borrowers' financial condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations. Absent the occurrence of an Event of Default during such calendar year, Agent and the Lenders shall require appraisals of only those parcels of Real Property constituting 20% of the Fair Market Valuation of Real Property Collateral (as determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion) per calendar year; provided, however, that if Agent determines, in its Permitted Discretion, that there has been a significant decrease in the Fair Market Valuation of Real Property Collateral, appraisals of all parcels of Real Property Collateral or such lesser amount as may be determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion per calendar year. 4.7 CONTROL AGREEMENTS. Each Borrower agrees that it will not transfer assets out of any Securities Accounts other than as permitted under Section 7.19 and, if to another securities intermediary, unless each of the applicable Borrower, Agent, and the substitute securities intermediary have entered into a Control Agreement. No arrangement contemplated hereby or by any Control Agreement in respect of any Securities Accounts or other Investment Property of Borrowers shall be modified by Borrowers without the prior written consent of Agent.

Each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, a license or other right to use, without charge, such Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Personal Property Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Personal Property Collateral and such Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Lender Group's benefit; (j) Sell the Personal Property Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrowers' premises) as Agent determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Personal Property Collateral be present at any such sale; 96 (k) Agent shall give notice of the disposition of the Personal Property Collateral as follows: (i) Agent shall give Administrative Borrower (for the benefit of the applicable Borrower) a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Personal Property Collateral, the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; and (ii) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Administrative Borrower as provided in Section 12, at least 10 days before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the notice; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Personal Property Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market; (l) Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; (m) Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing; (n) The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity pursuant to any other Loan Documents; and (o) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Personal Property Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrowers. Any excess will be returned, without interest and subject to the rights of third Persons, by Agent to Administrative Borrower (for the benefit of the applicable Borrower); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent and Lenders shall be permitted to exercise any remedy in the nature of a liquidation of, or foreclosure on, any of the Collateral upon not less than 5 days' written notice to each Borrower and counsel approved by the Court for the Committee and the U.S. Trustee. Borrowers agree for themselves and on behalf of each of their Subsidiaries that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Agent to dispose of the Collateral (as defined herein and in the Guarantor Security Agreement) or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in such Collateral (as defined herein and in the Guarantor Security Agreement) or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers. 9.2 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy 97 shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. 10. TAXES AND EXPENSES. If any Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement, then, Agent, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to any Borrower, may do any or all of the following, provided that, to the extent practicable, Agent shall give Administrative Borrower 10 days' prior notice before exercise: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof, (b) set up such reserves in Borrowers' Loan Account as Agent deems necessary to protect the Lender Group from the exposure created by such failure, or (c) in the case of the failure to comply with Section 6.8 hereof, obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described in Section 6.8 and take any action with respect to such policies as Agent deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Agent shall constitute Lender Group Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an agreement by the Lender Group to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Agent need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing. 11. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION. 11.1 DEMAND; PROTEST; ETC. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, Chattel Paper, and guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which any such Borrower may in any way be liable. 11.2 THE LENDER GROUP'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. Each Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as the Lender Group complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, Agent shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers. 11.3 INDEMNIFICATION. Each Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender Related Persons with respect to each Lender, each Participant, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in 98 connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Borrowers' and their Subsidiaries' compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrowers were required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON. 12. NOTICES. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by Borrowers or Agent to the other relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), overnight courier, electronic mail (at such email addresses as Administrative Borrower or Agent, as applicable, may designate to each other in accordance herewith), or telefacsimile to Borrowers in care of Administrative Borrower or to Agent, as the case may be, at its address set forth below: If to Administrative Borrower: AMERCO 1325 Airmotive Way, Suite 100 Reno, Nevada 89502-3239 Attn: Assistant Treasurer Fax No. 775.688.6338 with copies to: U-HAUL INTERNATIONAL, INC. 2727 North Central Phoenix, Arizona 85004 Attn: General Counsel Fax No. 602.263.6173 99 with copies to: SQUIRE, SANDERS & DEMPSEY, L.L.P.

CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. (a) THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT), THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO OR THERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. (b) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE 100 UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEVADA; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT AGENT'S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE AGENT ELECTS TO BRING SUCH ACTION OR WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. BORROWERS AND THE LENDER GROUP WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 13(b). (c) BORROWERS AND THE LENDER GROUP HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. BORROWERS AND THE LENDER GROUP REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 14. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS. 14.1 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS. (a) Any Lender may, with the written consent of Agent (provided that no written consent of Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Eligible Transferee), assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each an "Assignee") all, or any ratable part of all, of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (except that such minimum amount shall not apply to an Affiliate of a Lender or to a Related Fund); provided, however, that Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Administrative Borrower and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Administrative Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent's separate account a processing fee in the amount of $5,000. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the consent of Agent shall not be required (and payment of any fees shall not be required) if (x) such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of such Lender or (y) the assignee is an Affiliate (other than individual(s)) of a Lender or a Related Fund. 101 (b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assignor Lender (with a copy to Administrative Borrower) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, as applicable, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 11.3 hereof) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall effect a novation between Borrowers and the Assignee; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender's obligations under Article 16 and Section 17.8 of this Agreement. (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrowers or the performance or observance by Borrowers of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (d) Immediately upon each Assignee's making its processing fee payment under the Assignment and Acceptance and receipt and acknowledgment by Agent of such fully executed Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto. (e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of such Lender (a "Participant") participating interests in its Obligations, the Commitment, and the other rights and interests of 102 that Lender (the "Originating Lender") hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a "Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a "Lender" hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers, Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (1) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (2) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (3) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (4) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender, or (5) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant shall only be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrowers, the Collections, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves. (f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation, a Lender may disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrowers or Borrowers' business. (g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or United States Treasury Regulation 31 C.F.R. Section 203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. (h) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 14.1(h), Agent shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the "Register") on which it enters the name of a Lender as the registered owner of each Advance, as the case may be, held by such Lender. A Registered 103 Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Registered Note shall expressly so provide). Subject to the last sentence of this Section 14.1(h), any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such Registered Note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of an assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same), Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of an assignment or delegation covered by Section 14.1(a)(y), the assigning Lender shall maintain a register comparable to the Register on behalf of Agent. (i) In the event that a Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (the "Participant Register"). A Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Registered Note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. (j) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Lenders hereby consent to any Lender's pledge (a "Pledge") of its interest in the Obligations, the Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (a "Loan Pledgor") to any Eligible Transferee that has extended a credit facility to such Loan Pledgor (a "Loan Pledgee"), on the terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph. Upon written notice by any Loan Pledgor to Agent that the Pledge has been effected, Agent agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (a) to use its best efforts to give Loan Pledgee written notice of any default by Loan Pledgor under this Agreement and any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of Loan Pledgor's rights under this Agreement; provided, however, Agent shall not have any liability to Loan Pledgee if Agent fails to give such notice; (b) that Agent shall deliver, at the expense of Loan Pledgor, to Loan Pledgee such information available to the Lenders hereunder as Loan Pledgee shall reasonably request; and (c) that, upon written notice (a "Redirection Notice") to Agent by Loan Pledgee that Loan Pledgor is in default, beyond applicable cure periods, under Loan Pledgor's obligations to Loan Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between Loan Pledgor and Loan Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by all Lenders), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by Loan Pledgee, any payments to which Loan Pledgor is entitled from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, shall be paid or directed to Loan Pledgee. The relevant Loan Pledgor hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases Agent and the other Lenders from any liability to the such Loan Pledgor on account of Agent's or any Lender's compliance with any Redirection Notice reasonably believed by Agent or the Lenders to have been delivered in good faith. Loan Pledgee shall be permitted fully to exercise its rights and remedies against the relevant Loan 104 Pledgor, and realize on any and all collateral granted by such Loan Pledgor to Loan Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of this Agreement. In such event, Agent and the Lenders shall recognize Loan Pledgee, and its successors and assigns that are Eligible Transferees, as the successor to the applicable Loan Pledgor's rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The rights of Loan Pledgee under this paragraph shall remain effective unless and until such Loan Pledgee shall have notified Agent in writing that its interest in the Obligations, the Commitment, and the other rights and interests of the relevant Loan Pledgor has terminated. (k) It is contemplated that those Persons which are Lenders hereunder on the Closing Date will assign and transfer all or a portion of their Commitments and the Obligations related thereto effective as of the date established by Agent, after consultation with such Lenders, as the date for closing the general syndication ("General Syndication Closing Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.1, assignments effective on the General Syndication Closing Date (i) do not require the consent of Administrative Borrower or payment of a processing fee, (ii) may not be in a ratable amount of the Obligations and Commitments of such Lenders, and (iii) shall be accomplished by the execution by all such Lenders as of such date and all such transferees of a single agreement provided by Agent in substantially the form of an Assignment and Acceptance. Such agreement shall provide that all Commitments shall, as of the effective date of such agreement, be as set forth on Annex I thereto, which Annex shall, as of the General Syndication Closing Date, amend Schedule C-2 hereto. 14.2 SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto including, with respect to each Borrower, the estate of such Borrower, any trustee or successor-in-interest of such Borrower in the Chapter 11 Case or any subsequent case commenced under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that Borrowers may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders' prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release any Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, no consent or approval by any Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment. 15. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. 15.1 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Borrowers) and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders affected thereby and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Borrowers) and acknowledged by Agent, do any of the following: 105 (a) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender, (b) postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any loan or other extension of credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (d) change the percentage of the Commitments that is required to take any action hereunder, (e) amend, modify or waive this Section or any provision of the Agreement providing for consent or other action by all Lenders, (f) release Collateral other than as permitted by Section 16.12, (g) change the definition of "Required Lenders" or "Pro Rata Share", (h) contractually subordinate any of the Agent's Liens or modify, waive, release or subordinate the superpriority claim status of the Obligations (except as permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), (i) release any Borrower or any material Guarantor from any obligation for the payment of money, (j) change the definitions of Availability, Bank Product Reserves, Borrowing Base, Fair Market Valuation, Maximum Revolver Amount, or Term Loan Amount or amend, modify or waive any of the provisions of Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2, Section 2.3(e), Section 2.3(i) or Section 2.4(b); or (k) amend, modify or waive any of the provisions of Section 16. and, provided further, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, Issuing Lender, or Swing Lender, affect the rights or duties of Agent, Issuing Lender, or Swing Lender, as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing notwithstanding, any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrowers, shall not require consent by or the agreement of Borrowers. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of any Bank Product Agreement may be effected by the parties thereto without the consent of the Lender Group. 106 15.2 REPLACEMENT OF HOLDOUT LENDER. If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders, and a Lender ("Holdout Lender") fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Lenders (each, a "Replacement Lender"), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given. Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, subject only to the Holdout Lender's being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 14.1. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender's Pro Rata Share of Advances and to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit. 15.3 NO WAIVERS; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent's and each Lender's rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement. Agent's and each Lender's rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have. 16. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP. 16.1 APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF AGENT. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Foothill as its representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than the Bank Product Agreements) and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents (other than the Bank Product Agreements) on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document (other than the Bank Product Agreements) and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this 107 Section 16. The provisions of this Section 16 are solely for the benefit of Agent, and the Lenders, and Borrowers shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent; it being expressly understood and agreed that the use of the word "Agent" is for convenience only, that Foothill is merely the representative of the Lenders, and only has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management accounts as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrowers, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents. 16.2 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 16.3 LIABILITY OF AGENT. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any other 108 party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the Books or properties of Borrowers or the books or records or properties of any of Borrowers' Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 16.4 RELIANCE BY AGENT. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 16.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders, except with respect to Defaults and Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Administrative Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 16.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. 16.6 CREDIT DECISION. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers and any other Person party to a 109 Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers and any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrowers and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. 16.7 COSTS AND EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies and auctioneer fees and expenses and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral or any other collateral securing the obligations, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to the Loan Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from Collections received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses from Collections received by Agent, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or reimburse Agent for the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 110 16.8 AGENT IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Foothill and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though Foothill were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Foothill or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include Foothill in its individual capacity. 16.9 SUCCESSOR AGENT. Agent may resign as Agent upon 45 days' notice to the Lenders (and at least 15 days notice to Administrative Borrower). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders. In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent's appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 45 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. 16.10 LENDER IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates and any other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender not shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Swing Loans and Agent Advances, Swing Lender shall have the same 111 rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the sub-agent of the Agent. 16.11 WITHHOLDING TAXES. (a) If any Lender is a "foreign person" within the meaning of the IRC and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the IRC, such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrowers, to deliver to Agent and Administrative Borrower: (i) if such Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception, (1) a statement of the Lender, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (A) a "bank" as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (B) a 10% shareholder of a Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to a Borrower within the meaning of 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (2) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN, before the first payment of any interest under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Administrative Borrower; (ii) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN before the first payment of any interest under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Administrative Borrower; (iii) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the first payment of any interest is due under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Administrative Borrower; and (iv) such other form or forms as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax. Such Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Administrative Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. (b) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender's IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid. (c) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the 112 applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. (d) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent. (e) All payments made by Borrowers hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense, except as required by applicable law other than for Taxes (as defined below). All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction (other than the United States) or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than of the United States) with respect to such payments (but excluding, any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (i) measured by or based on the net income or net profits of a Lender, or (ii) to the extent that such tax results from a change in the circumstances of the Lender, including a change in the residence, place of organization, or principal place of business of the Lender, or a change in the branch or lending office of the Lender participating in the transactions set forth herein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as "Taxes"). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, each Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any note, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16.11(e) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to Agent or any Lender (i) that is not organized under the laws of the United States, if such Person fails to comply with the other requirements of this Section 16.11, or (ii) if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent's or such Lender's own willful misconduct or gross negligence. Borrowers will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrowers. 16.12 COLLATERAL MATTERS. (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral or any other collateral securing the 113 Obligations (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Administrative Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 7.4 of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which no Borrower and its Subsidiaries owned any interest at the time the Agent's Lien was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to a Borrower and its Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or any substantial portion of the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Administrative Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations pursuant to this Section 16.12; provided, however, that (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent's opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) 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 Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by Borrowers, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations. (b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations exists or is owned by Borrowers or Guarantors or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent's Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent's own interest in the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein. (c) Notwithstanding any provision in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, and Agent hereby agrees that it shall, upon the written request of Administrative Borrower, execute, have acknowledged as appropriate, and deliver to Administrative Borrower such release documents as are reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to effect the release of any Collateral to the extent the sale of such Collateral is permitted under this Agreement. Agent shall deliver any such release documents to Administrative Borrower (or, if applicable, any closing attorney) to hold in escrow pending the closing of the related transaction. In the event the closing of such transaction does 114 not occur, Administrative Borrower shall promptly return to Agent the release documents executed and delivered by Agent. 16.13 RESTRICTIONS ON ACTIONS BY LENDERS; SHARING OF PAYMENTS. (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrowers or any Deposit Accounts of Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. (b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (1) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment. 16.14 AGENCY FOR PERFECTION. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Agent's Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Code can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent's request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations to Agent or in accordance with Agent's instructions. 16.15 PAYMENTS BY AGENT TO THE LENDERS. All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, or interest of the Obligations. 16.16 CONCERNING THE COLLATERAL AND RELATED LOAN DOCUMENTS. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan 115 Documents relating to the Collateral or other collateral securing the Obligations, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations and the exercise by Agent 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 Lenders. 16.17 FIELD AUDITS AND EXAMINATION REPORTS; CONFIDENTIALITY; DISCLAIMERS BY LENDERS; OTHER REPORTS AND INFORMATION. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender: (a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a "Report" and collectively, "Reports") prepared by or at the request of Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports, (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrowers and will rely significantly upon Loan Parties' Books, as well as on representations of Borrowers' personnel, (d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 17.10, and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Borrowers to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Borrowers to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from Borrowers, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such 116 right as specified in such Lender's notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Administrative Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Administrative Borrower, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Administrative Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender. 16.18 SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS; NO LIABILITY. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) or any Lender to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 16.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts or any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to any Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein. 16.19 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.] 16.20 ADDITIONAL AGENTS. None of the Lenders or other entities identified on the facing page of or elsewhere in this Agreement as a "Lead Arranger", "Syndication Agent" or "Co-Documentation Agent" shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other entities so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in taking or not taking action hereunder or thereunder. 16.21 QUEBEC SECURITY. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of Agent or any other Person acting as an agent for the Lender Group hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby acknowledges that, for purposes of holding any Liens, including hypothecs, granted or to be granted by any Borrower or any Guarantor on movable or immovable property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of any Borrower or any Guarantor under any bond issued by any Borrower or any Guarantor, Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fonde de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) for and on behalf of (i) all present and future Lenders (including the Issuing Lender), (ii) the Issuing Lender and the Underlying Issuer that may from time to time, and respectively, issue L/C and L/C Undertaking for the account of Borrowers, and 117 (iii) any Bank Product Provider that may from time to time extend Bank Products to Administrative Borrower or its Subsidiaries. Each Lender (including the Issuing Lender), for itself and on behalf of any Underlying Issuer that issues or may issue L/C Undertaking for the account of Borrowers and any Bank Product Provider that extends or may extend Bank Products to the Administrative Borrower or its Subsidiaries, hereby (i) irrevocably constitutes, to the extent necessary Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fonde de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in order to hold Liens, including hypothecs, granted or to be granted by any Borrower or any Guarantor on movable and immovable property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of any Borrower or any Guarantor under any bond issued by any Borrower or any Guarantor; and (ii) appoints and agrees that Agent, acting as administrative agent for the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) may act as the bondholder and mandatory with respect to any bond that may be issued and pledged from time to time for the benefit of the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender), any Underlying Issuer and any Bank Product Provider. The said constitution of the fonde de pouvoir (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney and of Agent as bondholder and mandatory with respect to any bond that may be issued and pledged from time to time for the benefit of the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender), the Underlying Issuer and the Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed as follows: (i) by any Assignee by the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) by any Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer or Bank Product Provider by the issuance or execution, as the case may be, of L/C, L/C Undertaking or Bank Product; and (iii) by any assignee of the Issuing Lender, the Underlying Issuer or of the Bank Product Provider by the execution of an assignment agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec), Agent may purchase, acquire and be the holder of any bond issued by any Borrower or any Guarantor (i.e. the fonde de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond issued under any deed of hypothec granted by any Borrower or any Guarantor). Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that any such bond shall constitute a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec. Agent herein appointed as fonde de pouvoir shall have the same rights, powers and immunities as the Agent as stipulated in this Article 16, which shall apply mutates mutandis. Without limitation, the provisions of Section 16.9 shall apply mutates mutandis to the resignation and appointment of a successor to Agent acting as fonde de pouvoir. 17. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 17.1 EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrowers, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof. 118 17.2 SECTION HEADINGS.

Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement. 17.3 INTERPRETATION. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against the Lender Group or Borrowers, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto. 17.4 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 17.5 AMENDMENTS IN WRITING. This Agreement only can be amended by a writing in accordance with Section 15.1. 17.6 COUNTERPARTS; TELEFACSIMILE EXECUTION. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis. 17.7 REVIVAL AND REINSTATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by any Borrower or any Guarantor or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors' rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a "Voidable Transfer"), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Borrowers or Guarantors automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made. 17.8 INTEGRATION. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. 119 17.9 PARENT AS AGENT FOR BORROWERS. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the "Administrative Borrower") which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide Agent with all notices with respect to Advances and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Advances and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender Group shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Lender Group to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender Group harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender Group by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, (b) the Lender Group's relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by the Lender Group hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person under this Section 17.9 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person, as the case may be. 17.10 CONFIDENTIALITY. Agent and the Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by Agent and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (a) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the Lender Group, (b) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group (including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.10, (c) as may be required by statute, decision, or the Court or other judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (d) as may be agreed to in advance by Administrative Borrower or its Subsidiaries or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (e) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agent or the Lenders), (f) in connection with any assignment, prospective assignment, sale, prospective sale, participation or prospective participations, or 120 pledge or prospective pledge of any Lender's interest under this Agreement, provided that any such assignee, prospective assignee, purchaser, prospective purchaser, participant, prospective participant, pledgee, or prospective pledgee shall have agreed in writing to in writing to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, and (g) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 17.10 shall survive for 2 years after the payment in full of the Obligations. Anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of confidentiality contained herein and therein, as they relate to the transactions contemplated hereby, shall not apply to the federal tax structure or federal tax treatment of such transactions, and each party hereto (and any employee, representative, or agent of any party hereto) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal tax structure and federal tax treatment of such transactions (including all written materials related to such tax structure and tax treatment). The preceding sentence is intended to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to not be treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6011 of the IRC and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose. In addition, each party hereto acknowledges that it has no proprietary or exclusive rights to the tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby or any tax matter or tax idea related thereto. 17.11 AGENT AS PARTY IN INTEREST. Each Borrower hereby stipulates and agrees that, until the repayment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, Agent is and shall remain a party in interest in the Chapter 11 Case and shall have the right to participate, object and be heard in any motion or proceeding in connection therewith. Without limitation of the foregoing, Agent shall have the right to make any motion or raise any objection it deems to be in its interest (specifically including but not limited to objections to use of proceeds of the Advances, to payment of professional fees and expenses or the amount thereof, to sales or other transactions outside the ordinary course of business or to assumption or rejection of any executory contract or lease), until the repayment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

EX-10.71 4 p68169exv10w71.txt EX-10.71 EXHIBIT 10.71 AMERCO REVOLVER LENDERS RESTRUCTURING AGREEMENT This AMERCO Revolver Lenders Restructuring Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of August __ 2003, by AMERCO, a Nevada corporation ("AMERCO"), JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement described below (the "Administrative Agent"), and the lenders under the Credit Agreement described below (the "Revolver Lenders"). AMERCO, the Administrative Agent and the Revolver Lenders are collectively referred to herein as the "Parties" and individually as a "Party." RECITALS WHEREAS, AMERCO, the Administrative Agent and the Revolver Lenders have engaged in good faith negotiations with the objective of reaching an agreement with regard to the restructuring of the indebtedness of AMERCO under that certain 3-Year Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 2002 (as amended to date, the "Credit Agreement"), among AMERCO, the Revolver Lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent for the Revolver Lenders, and the recapitalization of AMERCO and its subsidiaries. WHEREAS, on June 20, 2003, AMERCO filed for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. Section Section 101, et. seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"), which case is pending before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the "Bankruptcy Court") and on August 13, 2003, AMERCO Real Estate Company ("AREC") filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, which case is also pending before the Bankruptcy Court. WHEREAS, AMERCO, the Administrative Agent and the Revolver Lenders desire to implement the financial restructuring consistent with this Agreement and the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Term Sheet," and the restructuring and recapitalization contemplated therein, the "Financial Restructuring"). WHEREAS, in order to implement the Financial Restructuring, AMERCO intends, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Term Sheet, to prepare a plan of reorganization (the "Plan") and a disclosure statement (the "Disclosure Statement")1 consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Term Sheet, to file and seek approval of such Disclosure Statement, to solicit acceptances of such Plan, and to seek confirmation of such Plan in its administratively consolidated Chapter 11 cases, as expeditiously as possible under the Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Bankruptcy Rules"). WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent and each consenting Lender (collectively, the "Consenting Parties") owns or controls the aggregate principal amount of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement ("Existing Loans"), in each case as identified on the signature pages hereto. WHEREAS, in order to facilitate and expedite the implementation of the Financial Restructuring, the Administrative Agent and the Consenting Parties are prepared, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to vote their Claims (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code) to accept the Plan. - -------- 1 For purposes of this Agreement, the terms "Plan" and "Disclosure Statement" shall mean a Plan and Disclosure Statement consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Term Sheet. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Recitals. Each of the foregoing Recitals is incorporated hereby as if fully set forth herein. 2. Voting in Favor of the Plan. Each Consenting Party agrees to timely vote its claim under the Credit Agreement to accept the Plan and not to revoke or withdraw such vote. The Parties understand that the Plan and all related documents will contain customary provisions for transactions of the nature set forth herein and in the Term Sheet. Each Consenting Party to this Agreement agrees not to elect on its ballot for its Credit Agreement Claim to preserve any rights, if any, that such Party may have that may be affected by the releases provided for under the Plan. 3. Restrictions on Transfer. Each Consenting Party hereby agrees, so long as this Agreement remains in effect, not to (i) sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any of its Existing Loans, in whole or in part, or any interest therein, unless the transferee accepts such claims subject to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) grant any proxies, deposit any of its Existing Loans into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any of the Existing Loans unless such arrangement provides for compliance herewith. In the event that a Consenting Party transfers such Existing Loans prior to the last date for voting on the Plan, such transferee shall comply with and be subject to all the terms of this Agreement as long as such Agreement remains in effect, including, but not limited to, such Consenting Party's obligations to vote its Existing Loans in favor of the Plan and shall, as a condition precedent to such transfer, execute an agreement on terms substantially identical to the terms of this Agreement and, upon commencement of the solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan, a ballot for the Existing Loan indicating its acceptance of the Plan. 4. AMERCO Agreements. During the term of this Agreement, AMERCO hereby agrees to the following: (a) AMERCO shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Disclosure Statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an order of the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan, in each case as expeditiously as possible under the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules and consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Term Sheet. (b) AMERCO shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the $300,000,000 debtor-in-possession financing facility (the "DIP Facility") based on the Term Sheet (the "Foothill Term Sheet") provided to AMERCO by Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as lead arranger, collateral agent, syndication agent and administrative agent ("Foothill"), and an emergence facility of approximately $650,000,000 also to be provided by Foothill on the confirmation and consummation of the Plan (the "Emergence Facility"). Notwithstanding the references in this Agreement or the Term Sheet to Foothill and the Foothill Term Sheet, AMERCO may select an alternative 2 senior lender or lenders to provide the DIP Facility or the Emergence Facility under terms substantially similar to the Foothill Term Sheet. 5. Support of the Plan. As long as this Agreement remains in effect, AMERCO and each Consenting Party (acting only in its capacity as the holder of an Existing Loan) will: (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confirmation of the Plan in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code as expeditiously as possible; and (ii) take all commercially reasonable, necessary and appropriate actions to achieve confirmation including communicating the Consenting Holders' support of the Plan to the holders of allowed impaired claims. As long as this Agreement remains in effect, no Consenting Party, acting in its capacity as a holder of an Existing Loan, shall (a) object to confirmation of the Plan or otherwise commence any proceeding to oppose or alter the Plan or any other reorganization related documents or agreements (the "Plan Documents"), which shall include, but not be limited to, any documents or agreements related to the DIP Facility and the Emergence Facility, to the extent such documents, in the reasonable judgment of the Consenting Parties, substantially conform to the terms of the Foothill Term Sheet, (b) vote for, consent to, support or participate in the formulation of any other plan of reorganization or liquidation proposed or filed or to be proposed or filed in any Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 case commenced in respect of AMERCO, (c) directly or indirectly seek, solicit, support or encourage any other plan, sale, proposal or offer of dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, merger or restructuring of AMERCO or any of its subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to materially prevent, delay or impede the successful restructuring of AMERCO as contemplated by the Plan or the Plan Documents, (d) object to the Disclosure Statement or the solicitation of consents to the Plan, or (e) take any other action that is inconsistent with, or that would materially delay confirmation of, the Plan. 6. Acknowledgment. This Agreement is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a solicitation for consents to the Plan. The acceptances of the Consenting Parties will not be solicited until such Parties have received the Disclosure Statement approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court as continuing "adequate information," as such term is defined in Section 1125(a)(1) and (2) the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan and related ballot. 7. Disclaimer. The Parties agree that a copy of this Agreement shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court. 8. Termination of Agreement.

This Term Sheet has been produced for discussion and settlement purposes only and is not an offer with respect to any securities or a solicitation of acceptances of the Conforming Plan. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS "AREC" means AMERCO Real Estate Company. "Effective Date" means the date the Conforming Plan becomes effective in accordance with its terms and conditions. "Term Loan A Notes" means the notes to be issued by the Debtors, as reorganized, jointly and severally, on the Effective Date of the Conforming Plan, in the aggregate face amount not to exceed $350,000,000. "Term Loan B Notes" means the notes to be issued by the Debtors, as reorganized, jointly and severally, on the Effective Date of the Conforming Plan, in the aggregate face amount not to exceed $200,000,000. "Debtor or Debtors" means, collectively, AMERCO, AREC, and any other affiliates or subsidiaries of AMERCO or AREC who file voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, other than PAC Fourteen, Inc. and PAC Fifteen, Inc. "New Notes" means, collectively, the Term Loan A Notes and the Term Loan B Notes. CAPITALIZED TERMS USED HEREIN AND NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED SHALL HAVE THE RESPECTIVE MEANINGS ASCRIBED TO THEM IN THAT CERTAIN RESTRUCTURING AGREEMENT, BY AND AMONG, AREC AND THE NOTEHOLDERS SIGNATORY THERETO (THE "NOTEHOLDERS RESTRUCTURING AGREEMENT"). TREATMENT OF NOTES CLASSIFICATION: The Conforming Plan will place the claims of the Noteholders in a single class, and such class will be impaired and entitled to vote on the Conforming Plan. CASH On the Effective Date of the Conforming Plan, the Consenting DISTRIBUTIONS: Noteholders will receive the following cash distributions: -- $65,000,000 in cash; -- Additional cash in an amount equal to the sum of (a) interest accrued and unpaid from October 15, 2002 up to the AREC Petition Date, payable at the default rate; and (b) interest accrued from the AREC Petition Date up to the Effective Date, payable at the non-default rate. DISTRIBUTION OF $18,600,000 (18.6% of remaining principal amount of the NEW NOTES: Notes) exchanged for and satisfied with Term Loan A Notes under the Emergence Facility in the par amount (net after any discount) of $18,600,000, subject to the Syndication Terms set forth in this Term Sheet. $16,400,000 (16.4% of the remaining principal amount of the Notes) exchanged for and satisfied with Term Loan B Notes under the Emergence Facility in having an aggregate Market Value (as defined below) of $16,400,000, subject to the Syndication Terms set forth in this Term Sheet. TERMS OF NEW As the New Notes are issued under the Emergence Facility, NOTES: the New Notes (under both Term Loan A and Term Loan B) will be identical to the notes issued under the Emergence Facility and will be issued under the same credit agreement, note purchase agreement, or comparable governing document, and will be governed by and entitled to all of the same benefits and terms as the Term Loan A Notes and Term Loan B Notes, including borrowers, guarantors, maturity date, early termination provisions, lien priority on collateral, interest rate, fees, and all other terms of the Foothill Term Sheet, subject to the qualification that the maturity of the New Notes will not exceed 5 years from date of issuance.

In addition to any fees payable to the Noteholders as set forth in this Term Sheet, to the extent the Term Loan B Notes are offered or issued in a syndication with additional fees, discounts, increased spreads, or other additional compensations not already taken into account in the determination of Market Value (whether paid pre- or post-closing of the Term Loan B Notes, and including anticipated flex fees), the Noteholders will fully participate therein, on the same terms offered or issued to each other holder of Term Loan B Notes. 4. If less than $20,000,000 of Term Loan B Notes are sold to Market Participants on the same terms as issued to the Noteholders, then the Noteholders will receive Term Loan A Notes in the amount (net after any discount) of $16,400,000, instead of any Term Loan B Notes, and the Noteholders will not participate in the Term Loan B Notes. For purposes of this Term Sheet, "Market Participants" shall be defined as recognized institutional investors not affiliated with the Debtors or with any "insider" (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code) of the Debtors. NOTEHOLDER FEES: The reasonable fees and expenses of the financial and legal professionals retained by the Noteholders shall be paid on the Effective Date of the Conforming Plan, including, without limitation, fees, including success fees, due to Houlihan, Lokey, Howard, & Zukin ("HLHZ") under that certain Engagement Agreement between AREC and HLHZ.
