Section 3.13.  Obligations of Agent and Lenders.  Each Lender is solely responsible for its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit Loan and Capex Loan and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for, nor assume any obligations for, the failure of any Lender to make available its Pro Rata Share of any such Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans.  Should any Lender refuse to make available its Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans, then each of the other Lenders may, but without obligation to do so, increase, unilaterally, its portion of the Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans in which event the applicable Borrower shall be so obligated to such other Lender.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate the Agent to make available to the Borrowers the full amount of a requested Revolving Credit Loan or Capex Loan when the Agent has not received any Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Loan or Capex Loan or if the Agent otherwise has any notice that any of the Lenders will not advance its Pro Rata Share thereof.  The Agent, for the account of the Lenders, shall disburse all Revolving Credit Loans and Capex Loans and shall handle all collections of Collateral and repayment of Obligations.

10



 

made available to the Agent by such Lender on the Settlement Date, the Agent shall be entitled to charge the applicable Borrower’s account with any such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Credit Loans and/or Capex Loans, as applicable, hereunder, on demand, from the applicable Borrower without prejudice to any rights which the Agent may have against such Lender hereunder.  Nothing contained in this subsection shall relieve any Lender which has failed to make available its Pro Rata Share of any borrowing hereunder from its obligation to do so in accordance with the terms hereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate the Agent to make available to the applicable Borrower the full amount of a requested advance when the Agent has not received any Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Loan and/or Capex Loan or if the Agent has any notice that any of the Lenders will not advance its Pro Rata Share thereof.

 

Section 3.14.   Minimum Amounts.

(b)           Each Capex Loan, other than the Initial Capex Loan and the Lowville Capex Loan, shall be in an amount at least equal to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) or a greater amount, not in excess of the Equipment Costs, which is an integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).  Each separate Capex Loan shall, in its entirety, be either a Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loan or a Libor Rate Loan; provided that any Capex Loan with an outstanding principal balance of less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) shall be a Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loan.  There shall be no minimum amount of principal applicable to a conversion or continuation of a Capex Loan that is a Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loan.  The amount of the Initial Capex Loan shall be the Initial Capex Loan Amount.

 

Section 3.15.  Use of Proceeds.

 

(a)           The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans (other than the Capex Loans) shall be used by the applicable Borrower (i) for its working capital and general corporate purposes, and (ii) to make loans to any Obligor for working capital purposes; provided, however, that proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans (other than the Capex Loans) may be used to pay all or a portion of the consideration for the

 

11



 

acquisition of stock or assets of another Person only if each of the Restricted Payment Conditions is satisfied with respect to such acquisition.  No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, use any Revolving Credit Loan proceeds for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors or to extend credit to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock.

 

(b)           The proceeds of a Capex Loan, other than the Initial Capex Loan, shall be used by the applicable Borrower solely to pay Equipment Costs of the Financed Equipment as such Equipment Costs are represented to the Lenders in connection with such Borrower’s request for such Capex Loan.  The proceeds of the Initial Capex Loan shall be used by the Borrowers for working capital and general corporate purposes.

(c)                                  In addition to satisfaction of all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.02 (as if Capex Loans were Revolving Credit Loans), the obligations of the Lenders to make each Capex Loan, other than the Initial Capex Loan, shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that:

 

(i)            the Agent shall have received, at least thirty (30) days prior to the requested funding date, and approved, a request for a Capex Loan from the applicable Borrower, which request shall include, in addition to the other information required hereby, a detailed description of the Equipment Costs and Financed Equipment proposed to be acquired therewith;

 

(ii)           evidence shall have been submitted to the Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent (which shall include invoices and other contracts for purchases), that the amount of such Capex Loan will not exceed the related Equipment Costs;

13



 

such date) and, upon funding such Capex Loan, the original principal amount of all Capex Loans previously made plus such Capex Loan shall not exceed the Capex Subfacility;

whatever form (including, but not limited to, accounts, chattel paper, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, money, oil, gas or other minerals before extraction, and general intangibles).

 

2.10                        Amended and Restated Section 5.03 of the Financing Agreement.  Section 5.03 of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth below:

 

Section 5.03.  Covenants Regarding Equipment, Financed Equipment and Converting Facilities Equipment.

 

(a)           Equipment.  The Equipment is and will only be used by FiberMark Office in its business and will not be held for sale or lease, or removed from its premises, or otherwise disposed of by FiberMark Office without the prior written approval of the Agent.  FiberMark Office will not sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Equipment constituting a part of the Brattleboro Collateral, or attempt, offer or contract to do so, except for sales of assets permitted by this Financing Agreement.  Concurrently with any such permitted disposition, the property acquired by a transferee in such disposition shall automatically be released from the security interest created by this Financing Agreement (the “Security Interest”).  It is acknowledged and agreed that notwithstanding any release of property from the Security Interest in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.03, the Security Interest shall in any event continue in the proceeds of the Brattleboro Collateral.  The Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (and, when appropriate, shall cause any separate agent, co-agent or trustee to execute and deliver) any releases, instruments or documents reasonably requested by FiberMark Office to accomplish or confirm the release of the Equipment constituting a part of the Brattleboro Collateral provided by this Section 5.03.  Any such release of the Equipment constituting a part of the Brattleboro Collateral provided by the Agent shall specifically describe that portion of the Brattleboro Collateral to be released, shall be expressed to be unconditional and shall be without recourse or warranty (other than a warranty that the Agent has not assigned its rights and interests to any other Person).  The Borrowers shall pay all of the Agent’s out-of-pocket expenses in connection with any release of the Brattleboro Collateral.

 

The Borrowers agree at their own cost and expense to keep the Equipment in as good and substantial repair and condition as the same is now or at the time the Lien and security interest granted herein shall attach thereto, reasonable wear and tear excepted, making any and all repairs and replacements when and where necessary.  The Borrowers also agree to safeguard, protect and hold all Equipment for the Lenders’ account and make no disposition thereof unless the Borrowers first obtain the prior written approval of the Agent.  Any sale, exchange or other disposition of any Equipment shall only be made with the prior written approval of the Agent, and the proceeds of any such sales shall not be commingled with FiberMark Office’s or any other Borrower’s other property, but shall be segregated, held by the Borrowers in trust for the Lenders as the Lenders’ exclusive

 

15



 

property, and shall be delivered immediately by the Borrowers to the Agent in the identical form received by the Borrowers by deposit to the Depository Accounts.  Upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition of the Equipment, as herein provided, the security interest provided for herein shall, without break in continuity and without further formality or act, continue in, and attach to, all proceeds, including any instruments for the payment of money, accounts receivable, contract rights, documents of title, shipping documents, chattel paper and all other cash and non cash proceeds of such sales, exchange or disposition.  As to any such sale, exchange or other disposition, the Agent shall have all of the rights of an unpaid seller, including stoppage in transit, replevin, rescission and reclamation.  Notwithstanding anything hereinabove contained to the contrary, FiberMark Office may sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of obsolete Equipment or Equipment no longer needed in FiberMark Office’s operations, provided, however, that (a) the then book value of the Equipment so disposed of does not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year and (b) the proceeds of such sales or dispositions are delivered to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, except that FiberMark Office may retain and use such proceeds to purchase forthwith replacement Equipment which FiberMark Office determines in its reasonable business judgment to have a collateral value at least equal to the Equipment so disposed of or sold, provided, however, that the aforesaid right shall automatically cease upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not waived.

 

In the event of any merger of Fibermark Office into another Borrower, or any transfer by Fibermark Office of the Equipment to another Borrower, the covenants set forth in this Section 5.03(a) shall bind such successor/transferee Borrower, as fully as though its name were originally set forth in this Section.

 

(b)           Financed Equipment and Converting Facilities Equipment.  The Financed Equipment and Converting Facilities Equipment are and will only be used by the Borrowers in their business and will not be held for sale or lease, or removed from the premises on which such Financed Equipment and/or Converting Facilities Equipment is initially (or, in the case of Converting Facilities Equipment, is currently) installed, or otherwise disposed of by any Borrower without the prior written approval of the Agent.  No Borrower shall permit any of the Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment to be located in any of the Excluded Premises.  The Borrowers agree at their own cost and expense to keep the Financed Equipment and the Converting Facilities Equipment in as good and substantial repair and condition as the same is on the date acquired by a Borrower or at the time the Lien and security interest granted herein shall attach thereto, reasonable wear and tear excepted, making any and all repairs and replacements when and where necessary.  The Borrowers also agree to safeguard, protect and hold all Financed Equipment and Converting Facilities Equipment for the Lenders’ account.  The Borrowers will not sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment until all of the Capex Loans have been paid in full.  Concurrently with any disposition not prohibited by the

 

16



 

immediately preceding sentence, the property acquired by a transferee in such disposition shall automatically be released from the security interest created by this Financing Agreement.  The Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (and, when appropriate, shall cause any separate agent, co-agent or trustee to execute and deliver) any releases, instruments or documents reasonably requested by a Borrower to accomplish or confirm the release of such Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment.  Any such release of the Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment provided by the Agent shall specifically describe that portion of the Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment to be released, shall be expressed to be unconditional and shall be without recourse or warranty (other than a warranty that the Agent has not assigned its rights and interests to any other Person).  The Borrowers shall pay all of the Agent’s out-of-pocket expenses in connection with any release of the Collateral comprised of Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment.

 

While any Capex Loans are outstanding, any sale, exchange or other disposition of any Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment shall only be made by a Borrower with the prior written approval of the Agent, and the proceeds of any such sales shall not be commingled with any Borrower’s other property, but shall be segregated, held by the applicable Borrower in trust for the Lenders as the Lenders’ exclusive property, and shall be delivered immediately by such Borrower to the Agent in the identical form received by the Borrower and shall be applied as provided in Section 3.10 hereof.  Upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition of the Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment, as herein provided, the security interest provided for herein shall, without break in continuity and without further formality or act, continue in, and attach to, all proceeds, including any instruments for the payment of money, accounts receivable, contract rights, documents of title, shipping documents, chattel paper and all other cash and non-cash proceeds of such sales, exchange or disposition.  As to any such sale, exchange or other disposition, the Agent shall have all of the rights of an unpaid seller, including stoppage in transit, replevin, rescission and reclamation.

 

2.11                        Amended and Restated Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.05 of the Financing Agreement.  Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.05 of the Financing Agreement are hereby amended and restated to read in their entirety as set forth below:

 

Section 6.01.  Method of Electing Interest Rates.   The Revolving Credit Loans and Capex Loans made to the Borrowers shall bear interest at either the Chase Manhattan Bank Rate or the Libor Rate; provided, however, that with respect to Capex Loans that are Libor Rate Loans (i) in no event shall the applicable Libor Rate Period extend beyond the next Quarterly Payment Date; and (ii) the entire amount of such Capex Loan shall be a Libor Rate Loan.  Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the Type borne by each Revolving Credit Loan or Capex Loan, as follows:

 

(a)           if such Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans are Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loans, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such

 

17



 

Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans to Libor Rate Loans as of any Business Day; provided that with respect to Capex Loans (i) in no event shall the applicable Libor Rate Period extend beyond the next Quarterly Payment Date; (ii) the entire amount of such Capex Loan shall be a Libor Rate Loan; and (iii) the outstanding principal balance of such Capex Loan exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).

 

(b)           if such Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans are Libor Rate Loans, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans to Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loans, or elect to continue such Libor Rate Loans as Libor Rate Loans for an additional Libor Rate Period, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Libor Rate Period applicable to such Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans; provided, however, that with respect to Capex Loans in no event shall the applicable Libor Rate Period extend beyond the next Quarterly Payment Date.

 

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Interest Rate Selection”) to Agent by (1) 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day before the conversion of a Libor Rate Loan into a Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loan, or (2) 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days before the conversion of a Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loan into a Libor Rate Loan or the continuation of a Libor Rate Loan as a Libor Rate Loan.  A Notice of Interest Rate Selection may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Revolving Credit Loan; provided that the portion to which such notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, each are sufficient to meet the minimum amount specified in Section 3.14.  A Notice of Interest Rate Selection with respect to a Capex Loan shall apply to the entire principal amount of the relevant Capex Loan.

 

Each Notice of Interest Rate Selection relating to a Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loan or Libor Rate Loan shall specify:

 

(i)  the Revolving Credit Loan (or portion thereof) or the Capex Loan to which such notice applies;

 

(ii)  the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of the first paragraph of this Section 6.01;

 

(iii)  if the Revolving Credit Loans or the Capex Loans are to be converted, and if such new Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans are Libor Rate Loans, the duration of the initial Libor Rate Period applicable thereto (subject to the limitation with respect to Capex Loans that such Libor Rate Period does not extend beyond the next Quarterly Payment Date); and

 

(iv)  if such Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans are to be continued as Libor Rate Loans for an additional Libor Rate Period, the duration of

 

18



 

such additional Libor Rate Period (subject to the limitation with respect to Capex Loans that such Libor Rate Period does not extend beyond the next Quarterly Payment Date).

 

Each Libor Rate Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Selection shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Libor Rate Period.  No conversion into a Libor Rate Loan and no continuation of a Libor Rate Loan shall be permitted when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Selection to the Agent for any Libor Rate Loans to such Borrower such Revolving Credit Loans or Capex Loans shall be converted into Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Libor Rate Period applicable thereto.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, at no time shall there be outstanding more than five (5) different Libor Rate Periods relating to Libor Rate Loans in the aggregate for all Borrowers.

 

Section 6.02.  Interest.  Each applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount of its Revolving Credit Loans and/or Capex Loans for each day from and including the date such Revolving Credit Loan or Capex Loan is made until but excluding the date such Revolving Credit Loan or Capex Loan is paid in full, at one of the following rates per annum:

 

(a)           Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loan.  For a Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of the Chase Manhattan Bank Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin; and

 

(b)           Libor Rate Loan.  For a Libor Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Libor Rate Period of such Revolving Credit Loan or Capex Loan to the sum of the Libor Rate for such Libor Rate Period plus the Applicable Margin.

 

All accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Credit Loans (including accrued and unpaid interest under the September 1999 Agreement as of the Closing Date) and Capex Loans will be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, regardless of interest rate, and shall be calculated based on a 360 day year.  The Agent shall be entitled to charge the applicable Borrower’s account with the applicable interest rate(s) until all such Obligations have been paid in full.

 

The interest rate on Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loans shall change when the Chase Manhattan Bank Rate changes.  Interest on the Chase Manhattan Bank Rate Loans and the Libor Rate Loans shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under applicable Law.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default interest will accrue at the Default Rate of Interest as provided in Section 12.02.

 

Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans and Capex Loans hereunder.  Agent shall give prompt notice to the

 

19



 

applicable Borrower and each Lender of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

 

Section 6.05.  Certain Compensation.  Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and hold the Agent and each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense they may sustain or incur as a consequence of the failure by such Borrower to complete any borrowing hereunder of a Libor Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given by such Borrower to the Agent, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Agent to fund such borrowing when the applicable amount of the Revolving Credit Loan or the Capex Loan, as a result of such failure, is not made subject to such interest rates on such date.  The Agent shall certify the amount of its and/or the Lenders’ loss, cost or expense to the applicable Borrower, and such certification shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

 

Without limiting the foregoing, such compensation shall include the Libor Rate Prepayment Premium.

 

2.12                        Amended and Restated Section 9.07 of the Financing Agreement.  Section 9.07 of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth below:

 

Section 9.07.          Insurance.             (a)  FiberMark Office will maintain, with financially sound and reputable companies, acceptable to the Agent, insurance policies (i) insuring FiberMark Office, the Agent and the Lenders against Comprehensive General Liability and auto liability, liability for personal injury and property damage relating to the Brattleboro Collateral and Inventory and (ii) insuring the Brattleboro Collateral and Inventory of FiberMark Office against all risk of loss by fire, explosion, theft and auto comprehensive/collision, and such other casualties as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, such policies to be in such amounts and on such terms as the Agent shall reasonably require.  All policies covering the Brattleboro Collateral and Inventory are, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to the Lenders, to be made payable to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, in case of loss, under a standard non contributory “mortgage”, “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as the Lenders may require to fully protect the Lenders’ interest in the Real Estate and shall protect the Lenders’ interest in the Brattleboro Collateral and Inventory and any payments to be made under such policies.  All original certificates of Insurance, policies or true copies thereof are to be delivered to the Agent, premium prepaid, with the loss payable endorsement in the Agent’s favor for the benefit of the Lenders, and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation.

 

In addition to the foregoing, FiberMark Office will maintain Business Interruption and Comprehensive Boiler and Machinery Insurance in form and

 

20



 

amounts and with insurers acceptable to the Agent.  In addition, Workman’s Compensation Insurance in amounts required by applicable law and in form acceptable to the Agent shall be maintained in connection with the Brattleboro Collateral and Inventory.

(b)           Each Corporate Obligor will maintain, with financially sound and reputable companies, acceptable to the Agent, insurance policies (i) insuring such Corporate Obligor, the Agent and the Lenders against Comprehensive General Liability and auto liability, liability for personal injury and property damage relating to the Inventory of such Corporate Obligor and (ii) insuring the Inventory of such Corporate Obligor against all risk of loss by fire, explosion, theft and auto comprehensive/collision, and such other casualties as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, such policies to be in such amounts and on such terms as the Agent shall reasonably require.  All policies covering the Inventory of each such Corporate Obligor are, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to the Lenders, to be made payable to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, in case of loss, under a standard non contributory “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as the Lenders may require to fully protect the Lenders’ interest in the Inventory of such Corporate Obligor and any payments to be made under such policies.  All original certificates of Insurance, policies or true copies thereof are to be delivered to the Agent, premium prepaid, with the loss payable endorsement in the Agent’s favor for the benefit of the Lenders, and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation.

 

In addition to the foregoing, each such Corporate Obligor will maintain Business Interruption and Comprehensive Boiler and Machinery Insurance in form and amounts and with insurers acceptable to the Agent.  In addition, Workman’s Compensation Insurance in amounts required by applicable law and in form acceptable to the Agent shall be maintained in connection with the Inventory of each such Corporate Obligor.

 

(c)           Each Borrower shall maintain with financially sound and reputable companies, acceptable to the Agent, insurance policies insuring the Financed Equipment and Converting Facilities Equipment against all risk of loss by fire, explosion, theft and auto comprehensive/collision, and such other casualties as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, such policies to be in such amounts and on such terms as the Agent shall reasonably require.  All policies covering the Financed Equipment and Converting Facilities Equipment are to be made payable to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, in case of loss, under a standard non-contributory “mortgage”, “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as the Lenders may require to fully protect the Lenders’ interest in the Financed Equipment and Converting Facilities Equipment and shall protect the Lenders’ interest in the Financed Equipment and Converting Facilities Equipment and any payments to be made under such policies.  All original certificates of Insurance, policies or true copies thereof are to be delivered to the Agent, premium prepaid, with the loss payable endorsement in the Agent’s favor for the benefit of the

 

21



 

Lenders, and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation.

 

(d)           At the request of FiberMark or if any Obligor fails to maintain such insurance, the Agent may arrange for such insurance, but at the applicable Obligor’s expense and without any responsibility on the Lenders’ part for:  obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to the Lenders, have the sole right, in the name of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or the applicable Obligor, to file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies.

 

In the event of any loss or damage by fire or other casualty, insurance proceeds relating to Inventory shall first reduce all the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and then be paid to the Agent to be held as cash collateral pending repair, restoration or replacement of the insured property pursuant to the provisions below.  In the event of any loss or damage by fire or other casualty related to the Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment, insurance proceeds relating thereto shall at the election of the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, either (i) reduce the outstanding Capex Loans or (ii) be held as cash collateral pending repair, restoration or replacement of the Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions below.

 

(1)           Brattleboro Collateral.  In the event any part of the Brattleboro Collateral is damaged by fire or other casualty and the insurance proceeds for such damage or other casualty (the “Proceeds”) is less than or equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Agent shall promptly apply such Proceeds to reduce the outstanding balances of all the Revolving Credit Loans.

 

As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, FiberMark Office has sufficient business interruption insurance to replace the lost profits of any of its facilities, and the Proceeds are in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), FiberMark Office may elect (by delivering written notice to the Agent) to repair or restore the Brattleboro Collateral to substantially the equivalent condition prior to such fire or other casualty as set forth herein, or to replace the same with substantially the equivalent or functionally equivalent Real Estate or Equipment.  If FiberMark Office does not, or cannot, elect to use the Proceeds as set forth above, the Agent may, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted Encumbrances holding claims senior to the Lenders and the Agent, apply the Proceeds to the payment of the Obligations in such manner and in such order as the Agent may reasonably elect.

 

22



 

If FiberMark Office elects to use the Proceeds for the repair, replacement or restoration of any Real Estate or Equipment, and there is then no Event of Default, (a) proceeds on Equipment and Real Estate in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) will be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Credit Loans, and (b) the Agent may set up a reserve against Availability for an amount equal to the amount of proceeds so allocated to the Revolving Credit Loans.  The reserves will collectively be reduced dollar for dollar upon receipt of non cancelable executed purchase orders, delivery receipts or contracts for the replacement, repair or restoration of Equipment or the Real Estate and disbursements in connection therewith, such reduction to be allocated between FiberMark Office’s reserve in such proportions as the Agent shall determine.  Prior to the commencement of any restoration, repair or replacement of Real Estate, FiberMark Office shall provide the Agent with a restoration plan and a total budget certified by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of FiberMark Office, and, if the total budget exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), also certified by an independent third party experienced in construction costing.  If there are insufficient proceeds to cover the cost of restoration as so determined, FiberMark Office shall be responsible for the amount of any such insufficiency prior to the commencement of restoration and shall demonstrate evidence of such before the reserve will be reduced.  Completion of restoration shall be evidenced by a final, unqualified certification of the design architect employed, if any, but only if the cost of restoration exceeded One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); an unconditional certificate of occupancy, if applicable; such other certification as may be required by law; or if none of the above is applicable, a written good faith determination of completion by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of FiberMark Office as the case may be (herein collectively the “Completion”).  Upon Completion, any remaining reserves as established hereunder will be automatically released.

 

(2)           Financed Equipment and Converting Facilities Equipment.  In the event any part of the Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment is damaged by fire or other casualty, the insurance proceeds for such damage or other casualty (the “Capex Insurance Proceeds”), shall, at the Borrowers’ election if no Default or Event of Default exists and otherwise in the Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, either be (i) applied to reduce the outstanding balance of the related Capex Loan (with any excess Capex Insurance Proceeds applied to the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans) or (ii) held by the Agent as cash collateral pending repair, restoration or replacement of the Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions below.  If the Agent elects to proceed under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence and if the Capex Insurance Proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the outstanding balance of the applicable Capex Loan, then the applicable Borrower shall concurrently pay to the Agent the additional amounts required to pay in full the outstanding balance of the applicable Capex Loan.

 

If the Agent has elected to hold the Capex Insurance Proceeds as cash collateral and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

 

23



 

the applicable Borrower may repair or restore the Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment, as applicable, to substantially the equivalent condition prior to such fire or other casualty as set forth herein, or to replace the same with substantially the equivalent or functionally equivalent Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment, as applicable.  If the applicable Borrower does not, or cannot, use the Capex Insurance Proceeds as set forth above, the Agent shall apply the Capex Insurance Proceeds to the payment of the related Capex Loan (with any excess Capex Insurance Proceeds applied to the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans) and the applicable Borrower shall concurrently pay to the Agent any additional amounts required to pay in full the outstanding balance of the applicable Capex Loan.

 

If the Agent has elected to hold the Capex Insurance Proceeds as cash collateral and if there is then no Event of Default, the Agent shall disburse the Capex Insurance Proceeds on a dollar-for-dollar basis upon receipt of non-cancelable executed purchase orders, delivery receipts or contracts for the replacement, repair or restoration of the applicable Financed Equipment or Converting Facilities Equipment.

 

All policies of insurance required under the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall contain (a) an endorsement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of any Obligor that might otherwise give rise to a defense by the insurer to its payment of such loss, and (b) a waiver by the insured of all rights of subrogation to any rights of the additional insureds against the applicable Obligor, and (c) a disclaimer of all rights of setoff, counterclaim or deduction against the insureds other than the applicable Obligor.  The applicable Obligor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Financing Agreement unless the same shall contain a standard non-contributory lender’s loss payable endorsement in scope and form approved by the Required Lenders prior to the Closing Date with loss payable to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as its interests may appear.  All retentions and deductibles under policies where the Agent is loss payee shall be the sole responsibility of the applicable Obligor maintaining such policies subject to the Lenders’ approval.

 

Without limiting any of the foregoing, each of the insurance policies required by this Section 9.07 which is required to name the Agent in its capacity as agent for each of the Lenders, as an additional insured thereunder shall provide:

 

(a)  that no cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Agent of written notice thereof;

 

(b)  that the interests of Agent and each of the Lenders will be insured regardless of any breach by any Obligor or any other Person of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained therein; and

 

24



 

(c)  that neither Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance.

 

On or before the Closing Date (or, with respect to (y) Financed Equipment, the relevant funding date of the Capex Loan related to such Financed Equipment and (z) Converting Facilities Equipment, the funding date of the Initial Capex Loan) and prior to each policy expiration thereafter, each Obligor shall deliver to the Agent an original certificate or binder signed by the insurer or its duly authorized representative showing the insurance then maintained by such Obligor pursuant to this Section 9.07, and stating that such insurance complies with the terms of this Section 9.07, together with evidence that payment of the premiums on such insurance is current.  Each Obligor shall effect such changes in the form (but not the amount or types) of the policies required pursuant to this Section 9.07, as may be required by the Agent, provided such changes (a) are commercially available at reasonable rates, which determination shall be made by Agent and (b) the effect of such changes by FiberMark Office would not result in a violation of the provisions of the Mortgage.

 

2.13                        Amendments to Sections 10.05 and 10.06Each reference to “Section 9.07” set forth in Sections 10.05 and 10.06 is hereby corrected to read “Section 9.10”.

 

2.14                        Amended and Restated Section 12.01(a) of the Financing Agreement.  Section 12.01(a) of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth below:

 

(a)           failure of any Obligor to pay any of its Obligations within five (5) business days of the due date thereof, provided that nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Agent from charging such amounts to any Obligor’s loan account on the due date thereof and such amount shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan (if the Agent so charges such Obligor’s loan account, no Event of Default relating to non-payment of Obligations will be deemed to have occurred) and, provided further, that if the Agent chooses not to charge such amounts to an Obligor’s loan account on the due date thereof, the Agent shall so notify the Obligor and the Obligor shall have five (5) days from the date it receives such notice to pay such Obligations;

 

2.15                        Schedule 1.01A of the Financing Agreement.  Schedule 1.01A attached hereto is hereby inserted into the Financing Agreement as Schedule 1.01A.

 

3.                                      Execution of Loan Documents by FiberMark Office Products, LLC.  Certain Loan Documents to which FiberMark Office Products, LLC, a Vermont limited liability company (“FiberMark Office”), is a party have been executed on behalf of FiberMark Office by FiberMark, Inc., identified as the sole member of FiberMark Office.  FiberMark Office acknowledges that, on December 18, 1997, FiberMark, Inc. conveyed its interest in FiberMark Office to FiberMark Filter and Technical Products, Inc. (“FiberMark Filter”), and FiberMark Office acknowledges and agrees that it intended to execute, and to be bound by, all of the Loan Documents that have been

 

25



 

executed on its behalf by FiberMark, Inc., and hereby ratifies and confirms the execution and delivery of such Loan Documents and the grants of security interests and liens set forth therein and all actions taken by FiberMark Office thereunder or otherwise in connection therewith.  All such Loan Documents executed on behalf of FiberMark Office by FiberMark, Inc. shall be deemed to have been properly executed by FiberMark Office.

 

4.                                      Representations and Warranties.  To induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, the Obligors hereby represent and warrant to the Agent and the Lenders as follows:

 

4.1          Corporate Power and Authority; No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of this Amendment has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not: (a) in the case of each Corporate Obligor require any consent or approval of its stockholders and in the case of FiberMark Office require any consent or approval of its members-managers, which consent or approval has not already been obtained; (b) in the case of each Corporate Obligor contravene its certificate of incorporation or by-laws and in the case of FiberMark Office contravene its Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement; (c) violate any provision of, or require any filing, registration, consent or approval under any Law (including, without limitation, Regulation U), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to such Obligor; (d) result in a breach of or constitute a default under or require any consent under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which such Obligor is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected; or (e) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than as created hereunder), upon or with respect to any of the properties now owned or hereafter acquired by such Person.

 

4.2          Legally Enforceable Agreements.  This Amendment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

 

4.3          Both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties set forth in Article VIII of the Financing Agreement are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as if made on the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date.

 

4.4          After giving effect to this Amendment, no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

4.5          Since January 31, 2002, there has been no development or event, or any prospective development or event, which has had or could result in a Material Adverse Change.

 

5.                                      Execution by Guarantors.  Each Guarantor, as a guarantor, is executing this Amendment and consenting to the modifications to the Financing Agreement set forth herein.  Each Guarantor hereby reaffirms its guaranty set forth in the Financing Agreement and acknowledges that all Capex Loans incurred by any other Obligor shall automatically, without notice or action of any party, be a Guaranty Obligation.

 

26
