Upon the delivery of the aforesaid “booking” approval from the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders, each of the Lenders agrees (on a several and not joint basis) to fund or caused to be funded to the Administrative Agent their respective Pro Rata Share of the requested Advance or Advances set forth in said “booking” approval on the Funding Date in respect thereof set forth in said approval by delivering or causing to be delivered immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent as provided for in Part 7 on the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto (or as the Administrative Agent may otherwise instruct the Lenders in writing reasonably in advance of any such funding).

The Administrative Agent may assume that all wholesale invoices (and any manufacturer’s statement of origin in respect thereof) delivered to it are authentic and accurate and that they have been submitted by or on behalf of a Borrower and with such Borrower’s permission. The Pro Rata Shares of each Advance funded by each Lender will be considered advanced on the Booking Date for such Advance and interest and finance charges shall commence to accrue thereon from and including such Booking Date notwithstanding that such Pro Rata Shares of such Advance will not be funded until the Funding Date in respect thereof. Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may issue “booking” approvals for wholesale invoices that are directly communicated from PHHI or PHMLP to the Administrative Agent and extend Advances in respect thereof without the need of any particular Borrower’s prior approval of such wholesale invoices or the Advances made in respect thereof. The Administrative Agent recognizes and acknowledges that PHHI, as provided for in Section 5 above, may act on behalf of PHMLP, PHHLP and/or PHMI, as its attorney-in-fact, in connection with satisfying any or all of the requirements set forth above in this Section 6 with respect to any requested Advance.

Any such Sub-Limit shall be established by an agreement reached between the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and such Borrower; if no such agreement shall be reached, then there shall be no such Sub-Limit with respect to such Borrower.
 
If a Sub-Limit for a Borrower shall be established by agreement, such Borrower, from time to time, may request inventory financing in excess of such Sub-Limit, but which, when aggregated with the aggregate principal amount of Advances then outstanding, would not cause the Total Credit Line to be exceeded. Each Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent acting at the instruction of the Majority Lenders may, in its and their sole discretion from time to time, elect to honor such requests by permanently or temporarily increasing such requesting Borrower’s Sub-Limit and simultaneously reducing the Sub-Limits of one or more of the other Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that it will benefit by the increased flexibility in respect of its Sub-Limit being provided to it and the other Borrowers in this Section 7.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree that whenever the Administrative Agent is considering issuing a “booking” approval or whenever the Lenders are preparing to fund or cause to be funded an Advance pursuant to a “booking” approval, no “booking” approval will be issued and no Advance shall be funded if, after giving effect (without duplication) to all then pending “booking” approvals and the funding of any then pending Advance or Advances, the Total Credit Line or any Sub-Limit would be exceeded.
 
8. Sale of Palm Harbor Brand Homes. Each of the Borrowers represents and warrants that it is engaged in the business of selling Palm Harbor Brand Homes. The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders intend for each of the Borrowers to sell the Palm Harbor Brand Homes being financed hereunder, but only in the ordinary course of its business as each such Borrower normally sells such inventory. Therefore, each of the Borrowers may sell any unit of Palm Harbor Brand Homes financed hereunder provided that: (a) no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, (b) the price obtained for such item of unit is not less than the unpaid principal amount of the Advance attributable thereto, (c) the consideration obtained for the sale of such unit is cash or such other consideration as the Administrative Agent (with the approval of the Majority Lenders) shall have approved in writing and (d) such Borrower holds all of the proceeds of any such sale in trust for, and promptly remits the unpaid Advance attributable to such unit to, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders as provided for in Part 9 of the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto and that the security interest provided for herein in such proceeds shall continue in full force and effect in favor of Administrative Agent. Other than as provided for in this Section 8, no Borrower will sell rent, lease, or otherwise dispose of, or encumber or permit to be encumbered (other than as provided for herein), any Palm Harbor Brand Homes that have been financed hereunder.
 
9. Payment Terms. Each Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of each Advance made hereunder to such Borrower, together with interest and fees and finance charges in respect thereof, in each case pursuant to terms and conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto). The obligations of each Borrower owing hereunder to the Administrative Agent and/or each Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by the manual or data processing records maintained by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and each such Lender and, absent manifest error, shall be binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders.
 
Each Borrower agrees that, with respect to each Advance obtained by it hereunder in respect of a unit of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes, it shall pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on the date that is 360 days after the earlier of the Booking Date of such Advance or the “original wholesale invoice” date in respect of such Advance if such Advance shall have been an advance outstanding under the Existing Agreement for Wholesale Financing (the “original wholesale invoice” date in respect of any such advance shall be the date of the “original wholesale invoice” that supported such advance under the Existing Agreement for Wholesale Financing) a curtailment equal to 10% of the original wholesale invoice price in respect of such unit of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes being financed by such Advance.
 
-11-

 
Each Borrower agrees that, with respect to each Advance obtained by it hereunder in respect of a unit of Palm Harbor Brand Modular Homes, it shall pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (a) on the date that is 540 days after the Booking Date of such Advance a curtailment equal to 5% of the original wholesale invoice price in respect of such unit of Palm Harbor Brand Modular Homes being financed by such Advance and (b) on the last day of each calendar quarter occurring after such 540th day, further curtailments each equal to 5% of the original wholesale invoice price in respect of such unit of Palm Harbor Brand Modular Homes being financed by such Advance until the full principal amount of such Advance shall have been paid in full.
 
Each Borrower will immediately pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders the outstanding principal indebtedness owed hereunder for each Advance made to it in respect of a unit of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes on the earliest occurrence of any of the following events: (i) when such unit of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes is lost, stolen or materially damaged; (ii) when such unit of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes is sold, transferred, rented, leased, or otherwise disposed of, provided that, if such unit of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes is sold pursuant to a Contract Pending, such sale shall not, for purposes of this subclause (ii), be deemed a “sale” until such Contract Pending is consummated and closed unless (A) such Contract Pending is not consummated and closed within 90 days of its being created or (B) such Contract Pending is not an Eligible Contract Pending at its time of creation or ceases at any time thereafter to be an Eligible Contract Pending, in either of which cases such unit of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes shall be deemed to have been immediately sold under this sub-clause (ii), and (iii) the date that is 540 days after the earlier of the Booking Date of such Advance or the “original wholesale invoice” date in respect of such Advance if such Advance shall have been an advance outstanding under the Existing Agreement for Wholesale Financing (the “original wholesale invoice” date in respect of any such advance shall be the date of the “original wholesale invoice” that supported such advance under the Existing Agreement for Wholesale Financing). Without limiting the foregoing, (1) if, at any time, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Over 360-Day Manufactured Home Advances exceeds 25% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Manufactured Home Advances (such excess amount is referred to herein as the “Over 360-Day Excess Amount”), the Borrowers shall, upon receipt of a written demand from the Administrative Agent, immediately prepay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders such Over 360-Day Excess Amount and (2) except with respect to any Advances hereunder that were outstanding under the Existing Agreement for Wholesale Financing and which were made at a 100% advance rate under the Existing Agreement for Wholesale Financing, if, at any time, the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Manufactured Home Advances exceeds 90% of the aggregate original wholesale invoice prices of the units of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes financed hereunder, the Borrowers will immediately upon demand from the Administrative Agent pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders the difference between such aggregate outstanding principal amount and 90% of such aggregate wholesale invoice prices of such units.
 
-12-

 
Each Borrower will immediately pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders the outstanding principal indebtedness owed hereunder for each Advance made to it in respect of a unit of Palm Harbor Brand Modular Homes on the earliest occurrence of any of the following events: (aa) when such unit of Palm Harbor Brand Modular Homes is lost, stolen or materially damaged; (bb) when such unit of Palm Harbor Brand Modular Homes is sold, transferred, rented, leased, or otherwise disposed of or (cc) the date that is 1080 days after the Booking Date of such Advance.
 
If any Borrower from time to time is required to make immediate payment to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of any past due obligation discovered during any audit performed under Section 21 below, or at any other time, such Borrower agrees that acceptance of such payment by the Administrative Agent shall not be construed to have waived or amended any of the terms hereunder. The proceeds of any Palm Harbor Brand Home financed hereunder received by any Borrower will be held by such Borrower in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, for application as provided in this Agreement. Each such Borrower will send all payments hereunder to the Administrative Agent as provided for in Part 9 on the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders and for its record keeping purposes, shall, subject to written direction from the Majority Lenders, apply payments received from a Borrower hereunder as follows: (AA) first, to pay all unpaid fees and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent, (BB) second, to pay interest, fees and other finance charges of such Borrower, (CC) third, to pay the outstanding principal amount of Advances of such Borrower, (DD) fourth, to pay the obligations of the other Borrowers hereunder, regardless, in any case, of such Borrower’s or such other Borrowers’ instructions. The Administrative Agent shall, subject to direction from the Majority Lenders, apply all payments of principal of Advances of a Borrower in respect of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes under sub-clause (CC) or (DD) above as follows: first, in respect of curtailments, against the oldest (earliest) wholesale invoices for Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes financed by such Advances hereunder and, in any event, second, to all other principal payments of Advances of a Borrower in respect of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes which are sold, lost, stolen, damaged, rented, leased, or otherwise disposed of, as provided above, or unaccounted for under Section 21 hereof. The Administrative Agent shall, subject to direction from the Majority Lenders, apply all payments of principal of Advances of a Borrower in respect of Palm Harbor Brand Modular Homes under sub-clause (CC) or (DD) above as follows: first, in respect of curtailments, against the oldest (earliest) wholesale invoices for Palm Harbor Brand Modular Homes financed by such Advances hereunder and, in any event, second, to all other principal payments of Advances of a Borrower in respect of Palm Harbor Brand Modular Homes which are sold, lost, stolen, damaged, rented, leased, or otherwise disposed of, as provided above, or unaccounted for under Section 21 hereof. Any third party discount, rebate, bonus or credit granted to any Borrower for any Palm Harbor Brand Homes financed hereunder will not reduce the indebtedness of such Borrower owing hereunder to the Lenders (such indebtedness being reduced only when the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders has received payment therefor in cash).
 
-13-

 
Each Borrower will: (x) pay the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders even if any Palm Harbor Brand Homes financed hereunder is defective or fails to conform to any warranties extended by any third party; (y) not assert against either the Administrative Agent or any Lender any claim or defense such Borrower has against any third party; and (z) indemnify and hold each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless against all claims and defenses asserted by any buyer of any Palm Harbor Brand Home financed hereunder relating to the condition of, or any representations regarding, any of the same. Each Borrower waives all rights of offset and counterclaims such Borrower may have against anyone or more of the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders.
 
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, at the discretion of the Majority Lenders and in such order as the Majority Lenders shall determine in their sole discretion, apply the payments set forth in subclauses (AA), (BB), (CC) and (DD) above first to the Senior Component of the Total Credit Line and then to the Junior Component of the Total Credit Line.
 
10. Calculation of Charges and Fees. Each Borrower will pay finance charges to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on the outstanding principal amount of the Advances in respect of Palm Harbor Brand Manufactured Homes which have been made by the Lenders to or for the benefit of such Borrower at the following rates: (a) with respect to each such Advance that has been outstanding 540 days or less from the earlier of the Booking Date in respect thereof or the “original wholesale invoice” date in respect thereof if such Advance shall have been an advance outstanding under the Existing Agreement for Wholesale Financing (the “original wholesale invoice” date in respect of any such advance shall be the date of the “original wholesale invoice” that supported such advance under the Existing Agreement for Wholesale Financing), the per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate from time to time in effect and (b) with respect to each such Advance that has been outstanding for more than 540 days from the earlier of the Booking Date in respect thereof or the “original wholesale invoice” date in respect thereof if such Advance shall have been an advance outstanding under the Existing Agreement for Wholesale Financing (the “original wholesale invoice” date in respect of any such advance shall be the date of the “original wholesale invoice” that supported such advance under the Existing Agreement for Wholesale Financing), the per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus 3.00%.
 
Each Borrower will pay finance charges to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on the outstanding principal amount of the Advances in respect of Palm Harbor Brand Modular Homes which have been made by the Lenders to or for the benefit of such Borrower at the following rates: (i) with respect to each such Advance that has been outstanding 1080 days or less from the Booking Date in respect thereof, the per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate from time to time in effect and (ii) with respect to each such Advance that has been outstanding for more than 1080 days from the Booking Date in respect thereof, the per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus 3.00%.
 
-14-

 
Interest shall accrue on any past due principal, interest or other payment required to be paid hereunder on and after the due date thereof at a per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus 3.00%.
 
The finance charges based on the rates set forth above attributable to any Advance will: (A) be computed based on a 360 day year; (B) have payments in respect thereof recognized by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s payment recognition policy and the Administrative Agent will apply payments received in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower will also pay to the Administrative Agent $100 for each check returned unpaid for insufficient funds (an “NSF check”) (such $100 payment repays the Administrative Agent’s estimated administrative costs; it does not waive the Default or Event of Default caused by the NSF check). The annual percentage rate of the finance charges relating to any Advance hereunder will be calculated from the Booking Date of such Advance regardless of any period during which any finance charge subsidy shall be paid or payable by any third party. Each Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders intend to strictly conform to the applicable usury laws governing this Agreement. Regardless of any provision contained herein or in any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have contracted for, charged or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on this Agreement (whether termed interest herein or deemed to be interest by judicial determination or operation of law), any amount in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and, if any Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest will be applied first to the reduction of the unpaid principal balances of Advances under this Agreement made by such Lender, and, second, any remaining excess will be paid to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, each Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (A) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest; (B) exclude voluntary pre-payments and the effect thereof; and (C) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of this Agreement and the Advances so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term.
 
11. Billing Statement. The Administrative Agent will send each Borrower (c/o PHHI as their respective attorney-in-fact) a monthly billing statement identifying all charges due on such Borrower’s account hereunder. The Administrative Agent agrees, to the extent practicable, to provide to PHHI a single unified monthly billing statement for all Borrowers. The charges specified on each billing statement will be: (a) due and payable in full immediately on receipt; and (b) an account stated, unless the Administrative Agent receives such Borrower’s written objection thereto within 15 days after it is received by such Borrower. If the Administrative Agent does not receive, by the 25th day of any given month, payment of all finance charges accrued to a Borrower’s account maintained with the Administrative Agent during the immediately preceding month, such Borrower will (to the extent allowed by law) pay the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders a late fee (“Late Fee”) equal to the greater of $5 or 5% of the amount of such finance charges (payment of the Late Fee does not waive the Default or Event of Default caused by the late payment thereof). The Administrative Agent may adjust the billing statement at any time to conform to applicable law and this Agreement. All payments hereunder or pursuant to any monthly billing statement shall be made payable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders and delivered to the Administrative Agent as set forth in Part 9 of the Schedules of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto (or as the Administrative Agent may otherwise instruct the Borrowers in writing reasonably in advance of any such payment).
 
-15-

 
12. Joint and Several Obligations. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder with each other Borrower for the obligations of each such other Borrower hereunder, each Borrower shall be obligated and responsible for the performance of each other Borrower under this Agreement, and a default by any Borrower hereunder shall be a default by each other Borrower hereunder. Each Borrower waives: (a) any right of contribution from any other Borrower until all of the obligations have been fully and finally paid; (b) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to institute any action or suit or to exhaust rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender against any Collateral or any Borrower before proceeding against such Borrower or any other Borrower; and (c) any obligation of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower. Each Borrower consents that the Administrative Agent and each Lender may, without in any manner affecting such Borrower’s joint and several liability for any obligations hereunder: (i) extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, accelerate, change or release any obligation of any other Borrower; (ii) sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange, substitute or extend the duration or the time for the performance or payment of any and all Collateral or other property, of any nature and from whomsoever received, held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as security for the payment or performance of any obligations to the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Borrower or any other obligations of any Borrower; and (iii) settle, adjust or compromise any of claims of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower.
 
Each Borrower is part of an integrated family of companies, and, accordingly each Borrower desires to have the availability of one common credit facility instead of separate credit facilities, and each Borrower has requested that the Lenders extend such a common credit facility. Each Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders will be lending against, and relying on a lien upon, its inventory and proceeds thereof and other collateral and credit enhancements even though the proceeds of any particular Advance made hereunder may not be advanced directly to such Borrower, and that such Borrower will nevertheless benefit by the making of all such Advances by the Lenders and the availability of a single credit facility of a size greater than each could independently warrant.

13. Grant of Purchase Money Security Interest. In order to secure repayment of each Advance made by Lender to or for the benefit of PHHLP the proceeds of which enabled PHHLP to acquire rights in or the use of a unit or units of Palm Harbor Brand Homes or to refinance indebtedness which was itself used by PHHLP to acquire rights in or the use of such unit or units of Palm Harbor Brand Homes and to also secure the payment of all finance charges and interest accrued thereon and all fees, charges and expenses hereunder in respect thereof as well as all other obligations of PHHLP hereunder or in any other agreement entered into in connection herewith, PHHLP hereby grants to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders a security interest in such unit or units of Palm Harbor Brand Homes (which the parties hereto intend to be a purchase money security interest) and all proceeds thereof (including, without limitation, any Contracts Pending in respect thereof), to secure repayment of such Advance and all interest and finance charges accrued thereon and fees, charges and expenses in respect thereof and other obligations of PHHLP hereunder (collectively, the “PHHLP Purchase Money Collateral”). It is intended by this Section 13 that inventory so acquired by PHHLP, together with the proceeds thereof, will not serve as collateral for any other indebtedness or obligations other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement. PHHLP acknowledges that the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be entitled to a purchase money security interest in each of the aforesaid units of Palm Harbor Brand Homes and the proceeds thereof and such items are and shall be purchase-money collateral.
 
In order to secure repayment of each Advance made by Lender to or for the benefit of PHMI the proceeds of which enabled PHMI to acquire rights in or the use of a unit or units of Palm Harbor Brand Homes or to refinance indebtedness which was itself used by PHMI to acquire rights in or the use of such unit or units of Palm Harbor Brand Homes and to also secure the payment of all interest and finance charges accrued thereon and all fees, charges and expenses hereunder in respect thereof as well as all other obligations of PHMI hereunder or in any other agreement entered into in connection herewith, PHMI hereby grants to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders a security interest in such unit or units of Palm Harbor Brand Homes (which the parties hereto intend to be a purchase money security interest) and all proceeds thereof (including, without limitation, any Contracts Pending in respect thereof), to secure repayment of such Advance and all interest and finance charges accrued thereon and fees, charges and expenses in respect thereof and other obligations of PHMI hereunder (collectively, the “PHMI Purchase Money Collateral”).

The Borrowers shall deliver all original manufacturer statements of origin in respect of all Palm Harbor Brand Homes constituting Collateral to the Administrative Agent.
 
-19-

 
Borrowers shall, on or prior to the date hereof, deliver to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, a cash deposit (the “Cash Deposit”) of $10,000,000 to be held as additional Collateral and hereby grant to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders a security interest in the Cash Deposit and all interest, investments and proceeds in respect thereof to secure the payment and performance by Borrowers of all present and future indebtedness and obligations of Borrowers hereunder or in any other agreement entered into in connection herewith, whether direct or indirect, primary or secondary, absolute or contingent, or otherwise, including but not limited to the Advances owing from anyone or more of the Borrowers, the payment of all interest and finance charges accrued thereon and all fees, charges and expenses hereunder in respect thereof. The Cash Deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in an account owned by and under the control of the Administrative Agent and may be commingled with other funds of the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall have no access to the Cash Deposit or the right to direct any investments thereof. The Administrative Agent is under no obligation to invest any of the Cash Deposit but may do so in its sole discretion. The Borrowers are entitled to no proceeds or interest earned in respect of the investment of the Cash Deposit by the Administrative Agent (all of such proceeds to be retained by the Administrative Agent in consideration of its undertaking to pay interest to the Borrowers on the Cash Deposit as set forth in the next sentence). The Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the Borrowers, quarterly in arrears for so long as no Event of Default shall exist, interest on the balance of the Cash Deposit held by the Administrative Agent accrued at the Prime Rate from time to time in effect (based on the actual days that the Cash Deposit is held by the Administrative Agent and a year of 365 days). When, at any time, the aggregate outstanding amount of the Advances shall be less than $50,000,000 and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Borrowers an amount of the Cash Deposit such that the remaining balance of the Cash Deposit shall equal $5,000,000; such payment to be made reasonably promptly after the aggregate outstanding amount of the Advances shall have decreased below the $50,000,000 threshold. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be obligated to make any Advance to anyone or more of the Borrowers if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances would exceed $50,000,000 unless the Cash Deposit being held by the Administrative Agent equals $10,000,000. If the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall make Advances to anyone or more of the Borrowers such that the $50,000,000 threshold is exceeded without having the full $10,000,0000 as the Cash Deposit, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a written demand to the Borrowers to pay to the Administrative Agent sufficient moneys in immediately available funds such that the Cash Deposit shall equal $10,000,000; the failure of the Borrowers to do so within five (5) Business Days of receiving such written demand shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. Any calculation of the Cash Deposit for purposes of this Agreement shall exclude accrued interest or investment gains or losses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have, with respect to the Cash Deposit, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State whose laws govern this Agreement and all of the rights and remedies otherwise provided for under applicable law.

20. Financial Statements. Borrowers will deliver to Administrative Agent and to each Lender: (a) within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of PHHI, a reasonably detailed audited consolidated balance sheet as of the last day of such fiscal year and a reasonably detailed audited consolidated income statement covering Borrowers’ and their consolidated subsidiaries’ operations for such fiscal year, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (b) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the fiscal quarters of PHHI, a reasonably detailed consolidated balance sheet as of the last day of such quarter and a consolidated income statement covering Borrowers’ and their consolidated subsidiaries’ operations for such quarter, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and (c) within ten (10) days after request therefor by the Administrative Agent, any other report reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent relating to the Collateral or the financial condition of any Borrower, Each Borrower warrants and represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that all financial statements and information relating to the Borrowers or any consolidated subsidiary thereof which have been or may hereafter be delivered by any Borrower are true and correct and have been and will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and, with respect to such previously delivered statements or information, there has been no material adverse change in the financial or business condition of any of the Borrowers since the submission to the Administrative Agent, either as of the date of delivery, or, if different, the date specified therein, and each Borrower acknowledges the reliance of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereon.
 
21. Reviews. Each Borrower grants the Administrative Agent an irrevocable license to enter such Borrower’s business locations during normal business hours without notice to such Borrower to: (a) account for and inspect all Collateral of such Borrower; (b) verify such Borrower’s compliance with this Agreement; and (c) examine and copy such Borrower’s books and records related to the Collateral of such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to provide the Administrative Agent with such information as the Administrative Agent reasonably requests to substantiate such Borrower’s wholesale invoice price determinations and to allow the Administrative Agent reasonable access to such Borrowers’ books, records and personnel from time to time during normal business hours to verify such information. Without limiting the foregoing and in addition thereto, in order to assess each Borrower’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to audit or cause to be audited the inventory (and any Contract Pendings in respect thereof) of such Borrower as frequently as the Administrative Agent considers it prudent to do so (in each case, an “Audit”). During each calendar quarter for so long as this Agreement is in effect and no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence, the Administrative Agent shall conduct Audits such that the Administrative Agent shall have reviewed all Palm Harbor Brand Homes financed hereunder (and any Contract Pendings in respect thereof). If a Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, conduct Audits as frequently as it deems necessary. Each Borrower shall cooperate fully with Administrative Agent in connection with each Audit and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall remit to Administrative Agent an audit fee (the “Audit Fee”) for each Audit conducted in the amount of $250 per location together with all other out-of-pocket costs of the Administrative Agent in respect of such Audit. If, as a result of any Audit, it shall be determined by the Administrative Agent that a Palm Harbor Brand Home financed hereunder is not in the possession of a Borrower on whose behalf an Advance was made hereunder and that is still outstanding (other than with respect to a Contract Pending) or that a Contract Pending in respect of such unit is not an Eligible Contract Pending or has been outstanding for more than 90 days and has not closed and been consummated, then such Borrower shall immediately, upon receipt of a written demand therefor from the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders the outstanding unpaid principal balance of such Advance. This Agreement, as provided for in Section 9 above, is a “Pay-As-Sold” facility and, at the election of the Administrative Agent, no payment as provided in the preceding sentence shall remedy or cure any Default or Event of Default that may have arisen hereunder as a result of the sale or other disposition of a Palm Harbor Brand Home financed hereunder without the outstanding principal balance of the Advance allocated thereto having been paid in full.

23.1 Acceleration. At the direction of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, at any time and without notice or demand to any Borrower, take anyone or more of the following actions as directed: (a) declare all or any part of the indebtedness and obligations of anyone or more of the Borrowers hereunder immediately due and payable, together with all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ collection activity, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, a termination fee in respect of such accelerated indebtedness and obligations as provided for in Section 27 below; (b) subject to Section 39 hereof, exercise any or all rights under applicable law (including, without limitation, the right to possess, transfer and dispose of the Collateral and to enforce the payment of any and all obligations (including, without limitation, any deficiency obligations) of anyone or more of the Borrowers hereunder); and/or (c) terminate the Commitments of the Lenders. Any action that the Administrative Agent may be directed to take under the immediately preceding sentence shall, in all respects, be subject to Section 29 hereof. Each Lender may at any time, without notice or demand to any Borrower but with reasonable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, do anyone or more of the following: (i) subject to Section 29.11 hereof, declare all or any part of the indebtedness and obligations of anyone or more of the Borrowers hereunder owing to such Lender to be immediately due and payable, together with all costs and expenses of such Lender’s collection activity, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees; (ii) subject to Section 29.11 and Section 39 hereof, exercise any or all rights under applicable law (but expressly excluding the right to foreclose upon, possess, transfer and dispose of the Collateral); and/or (iii) terminate the Commitment of such Lender.

-27-

 
23.3 Delivery of Collateral. Upon Administrative Agent’s oral or written demand (at the direction of the Majority Lenders), each Borrower will immediately deliver the Collateral of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, in good order and repair, at a place specified by the Administrative Agent, together with all related documents; or the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and without notice or demand to any Borrower, take immediate possession of the Collateral of such Borrower together with all related documents. Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, by itself or through an agent, without notice to any person and without judicial process of any kind, enter into any premises or upon any land owned, leased or otherwise under the apparent control of such Borrower where the Administrative Agent believes any of the Collateral of such Borrower may be, and disassemble, render unusable and/or repossess all or any items of such Collateral. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights to possession of its Collateral after default and all claims for injuries suffered through or loss caused by such entering and/or repossession by the Administrative Agent.
 
23.4 Default Rate of Interest. The Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, shall, without any requirement of a notice to any Borrower, apply a default finance charge to each Borrower’s outstanding principal indebtedness hereunder equal to the per annum rate of interest that is the sum of (a) the Prime Rate from time to time in effect and (b) 3.00%, (but in any case not higher than the highest lawful contract rate of interest permitted under applicable law).
 
23.5 Cumulative Rights and Remedies.

The failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any of its rights or remedies hereunder will not waive any of such persons rights or remedies as to any past, current or future default.
 
23.6 Miscellaneous. In connection with the Administrative Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section 23 and Section 24 below, each Borrower (a) acknowledges that the arbitration provisions of Section 39 below are not applicable to the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 23 and in Section 24 in respect of the Collateral, (b) irrevocably waives any right it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto following an Event of Default and (c) irrevocably waives, to the extent it may lawfully do so, any right it may have under any applicable valuation and exemption laws. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have waived any of its or their rights or remedies in respect of the obligations of anyone or more of the Borrowers hereunder or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to marshal any Collateral for, or other assurances of payment of, the obligations of anyone or more of the Borrowers or to resort to such Collateral or other assurances of payment in any particular order. Each Borrower hereby agrees, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument related thereto and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand any and all expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Administrative Agent in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder in such order or preference as the Majority Lenders may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any such obligations not then due and to the Senior Component and Junior Component of the Total Credit Line. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State whose laws govern this Agreement, any excess shall be returned to the applicable Borrower. In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations, the Borrowers shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency.

23.7 Certain Other Remedies. Administrative Agent shall have the right (to be exercised at the direction of the Majority Lenders after the occurrence of an Event of Default), and each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Administrative Agent and its designees as the attorney in fact of such Borrower, with power of substitution (which appointment is coupled with an interest and irrevocable) and with power and authority in such Borrower’s name, Administrative Agent’s name, or otherwise and for the use and benefit of Administrative Agent (but at the cost and expense of such Borrower), and with or without notice to such Borrower (a) to notify account debtors obligated to make payments or other remittances on or with respect to any account, chattel paper or general intangible constituting the Collateral to make such payments and other remittances directly to Administrative Agent, (b) to demand, collect, give receipt for, give renewals, extensions, discharges and releases of, sue for, take control of, compromise, settle, change the terms of, release, exchange, substitute, surrender, or otherwise deal with any such accounts, chattel paper or general intangibles or with any account debtor in respect thereof, and (c) to, at the cost and expense of such Borrower, make use of any place of business of such Borrower as may be necessary or desirable to administer, control, collect, sell or otherwise dispose of any of such accounts, chattel paper or general intangibles. Administrative Agent shall have the right (to be exercised at the direction of the Majority Lenders) to effect any offset against the Cash Deposit on behalf of anyone or more of the Lenders in respect of any and all indebtedness owing by anyone or more of the Borrowers to any of such Lenders.
 
24. Sale of Collateral. Each Borrower agrees that if the Administrative Agent conducts a private sale of any Collateral of such Borrower consisting of Palm Harbor Brand Homes by requesting bids from 10 or more dealers or distributors in that type of Collateral, any sale by Administrative Agent of such Collateral in bulk or in parcels within 120 days of: (a) the Administrative Agent’s taking possession and control of such Collateral; or (b) when the Administrative Agent is otherwise authorized to sell such Collateral, whichever occurs last, to the bidder submitting the highest cash bid therefor, is a commercially reasonable sale of such Collateral under the Uniform Commercial Code. Each Borrower further agrees that seven (7) days prior written notice will be commercially reasonable notice of any public or private sale. Each Borrower irrevocably waives any requirement that the Administrative Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral of such Borrower until after an arbitration hearing, arbitration award, confirmation, trial or final judgment. If the Administrative Agent disposes of any such Collateral other than as herein contemplated, the commercial reasonableness of such disposition will be determined in accordance with the laws of the State governing this Agreement.

25. Power of Attorney. Each Borrower grants the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney, which shall become effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by any Borrower (subject to any applicable cure period), to: execute or endorse on such Borrower’s behalf any checks, financing statements, instruments, Certificates of Title and Statements of Origin pertaining to the Collateral of such Borrower; supply any omitted information and correct errors in any documents between or among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the other Borrowers and such Borrower; initiate and settle any insurance claim pertaining to the Collateral of such Borrower; and do anything to preserve and protect the Collateral of such Borrower and the Administrative Agent’s rights and interest therein.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may obtain credit references from any Borrower’s creditors.

On the last day of such Term (the “Maturity Date”), all Commitments of the Lenders shall, if not previously terminated, terminate and all obligations hereunder outstanding on such last day shall mature and automatically become due and payable, including, without limitation, all outstanding Advances, all accrued and unpaid interest and/or finance charges and all fees, costs and expenses.

The total outstanding balance due under this Agreement as of the effective date of termination will be due and payable upon the effective termination date of this Agreement (which shall include, without limitation, all unpaid principal in respect of any outstanding Advances, all accrued and unpaid interest, finance charges and fees in respect thereof and all costs and expenses to be paid by any Borrower hereunder) together with the following termination fees: (i) if the effective date of termination shall occur on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, a fee equal to 1.50% of the principal amount of Advances outstanding on the date on which notice of such termination was given (or, if such termination arose out of an Event of Default, on the date on which the obligations of the Borrowers are accelerated under Section 23 hereof), (ii) if the effective date of termination shall occur after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement, a fee equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of Advances outstanding on the date on which notice of such termination was given (or, if such termination arose out of an Event of Default, on the date on which the obligations of the Borrowers are accelerated under Section 23 hereof), and (iii) if the effective date of termination shall occur after the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the Maturity Date, a fee equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of Advances outstanding on the date on which notice of such termination was given (or, if such termination arose out of an Event of Default, on the date on which the obligations of the Borrowers are accelerated under Section 23 hereof). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will retain all of its or their respective rights, interests and remedies hereunder until each Borrower has fully and finally paid all of such Borrower’s obligations owing hereunder. All waivers set forth within this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.
 
28. Participating Lenders and New Lenders.
 
28.1 Participations. Each of the Lenders shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower or the approval of any Borrower, to designate one or more Participating Lenders and to grant to such Participating Lenders participations in such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of anyone or more of the Advances and in respect of any interest, finance charges and fees otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder on terms and conditions satisfactory to such Lender. In the event that such Lender so designates such a Participating Lender and grants such Participating Lender a participation in its Pro Rata Share of such Advance or Advances and such interest, finance charges and fees, such Participating Lender shall communicate and deal only with such Lender in respect to such Participating Lender’s interest in such Advance or Advances or such interest, finance charges and fees and neither any Borrower nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to communicate or deal with such Participating Lender. Nothing in this Section 28.1 shall relieve any Lender from its obligations, if any, hereunder.
 
28.2 Assignments. Each Lender shall have the right, at any time without the prior approval of any Borrower or Administrative Agent, to sell, assign and transfer to any Eligible Assignee (a) all or any part of its Pro Rata Share of any Advance or Advances and any interest, finance charges and fees otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder in respect thereof and/or (b) a ratable amount of its Commitment, provided that
 
-31-

 
(a) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have been given reasonable prior written notice thereof,
 
(b) no such sale, assignment or transfer shall, without the prior written consent of the Borrowers, require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify such sale, assignment or transfer under the securities laws of any state, and
 
(c) no such sale, assignment or transfer shall be effective unless and until an assignment agreement effecting such sale, assignment or transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent, and
 
(d) no such sale, assignment or transfer shall be effected in an amount of less than $1,000,000.
 
To the extent of any such assignment to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the requirements of this Section 28.2 that relates to both Advances and a ratable portion of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, such assigning Lender shall be relieved of any obligations with respect to its Pro Rata Shares of any Advance or Advances being so assigned and the ratable amount of its Commitment being reallocated to such Eligible Assignee. Upon such execution, deliver and acceptance from and after the effective date specified in the aforesaid assignment agreement, (i) the Eligible 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 agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder that corresponds to the portion of the Advance or Advances so assigned and/or the portion of the Commitment being reallocated to such Eligible Assignee and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations, if any, under this Agreement to the extent of the portion of such Advance or Advances so assigned and/or the portion of its Commitment so reallocated. The Commitments among the Lenders shall be modified to reflect the reallocation of the assigning Lender’s Commitment to the Eligible Assignee and to reflect any portion of such Commitment retained by such assigning Lender. The Commitments of the Lenders and the allocation of the Total Credit Line in respect thereof in the records of the Administrative Agent shall be binding on the Borrowers and Lenders absent manifest error.

The provisions of this Section 29 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each of the Borrowers agrees it shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any such other agreements. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower.

(a) Duties Specified. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and under any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified in this Agreement or in any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith and it may perform such duties by or through its agents, sub-agents or employees (including, without limitation, Textron Business Services, Inc.). The Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or such other agreements as expressly set forth herein or therein. It is expressly understood that the Administrative Agent’s role hereunder and under any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith will be primarily administrative in nature.
 
(b) No Responsibility for Certain Matters.

-33-

 
(c) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents or sub-agents shall be liable to anyone or more of the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith except to the extent caused by the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders or the Majority Lenders with respect to any act or action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for any Borrower), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent’s acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any power, discretion or authority vested in it under this Agreement or any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith unless and until it has obtained the instructions of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, and such indemnification and/or reimbursement of costs, expenses and fees as it may reasonably request. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Lender with respect to its failure to take any action hereunder or under any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith directed by the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, if such action would, in the good faith opinion of the Administrative Agent, be unlawful or contrary to the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith, or would subject the Administrative Agent to liability under any environmental protection law.
 
(d) Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participating in the Advances, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may lend money to, have the rights set forth in Section 28 hereof, and generally engage in any kind of financial or other business with, anyone or more of the Borrowers or any affiliate or dealer thereof as if it were not performing the duties specified herein (including, without limitation, extending out-bound credit facilities to dealers of one or more of the Borrowers), and may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or any affiliate or dealer thereof for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders (including fees, finance charges and interest in respect of any out-bound credit facilities).

Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each of the Borrowers in connection with entering into this Agreement and the making of the Advances hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided, directly or indirectly, to the Lenders by any Borrower or any employee, officer, director or agent thereof.
 
29.4 Right to Indemnity. Subject to the next sentence of this paragraph, each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith or otherwise in its capacity as the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or such other agreements, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose in connection with its performance of its duties hereunder or under any such other agreements shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The indemnification provided for in this Section 29.4 shall extend to and cover any employees, officers, directors, agents, co-agents, and sub-agents of the Administrative Agent that have performed any duties for or on behalf of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, upon 5 business days’ notice to PHHI, to appoint a successor to the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor to the Administrative Agent, that successor to the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 29 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith.
 
29.6 Collateral Documents. Anything contained in this Agreement or in other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof.
 
29.7 Designation of Additional Administrative Agents. Whenever the Administrative Agent shall deem it necessary or prudent in order either to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Collateral shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit with respect to the Collateral or any other agreements now or hereafter executed in connection herewith, or in the event that the Administrative Agent shall have been requested to do so by the Majority Lenders, or for any other reason in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent and, to the extent necessary, each Borrower shall execute and deliver a supplemental agreement or agreements and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute a bank or trust company or one or more other persons approved by the Administrative Agent, either to act as the Administrative Agent or its agents, sub-agents or co-agents or as a separate trustee with respect to all or any part of the Collateral, in any such case with such powers and protections of the Administrative Agent as may be provided in such supplemental agreement and herein, and to vest in such bank, trust company or other person as such Administrative Agent, agent, sub-agent or co-agent or separate trustee, as the case may be, any property, title, right, or power of the Administrative Agent deemed necessary or advisable by the Administrative Agent.
 
29.8 Payments.
 
(a) Notification of Advance Request. Each submission of a wholesale invoice by a Borrower under Section 5 hereof shall be a request for an Advance in respect thereof. The Administrative Agent agrees to reasonably promptly review each such wholesale invoice and reasonably promptly determine whether to reject or approve such wholesale invoice, as provided for in Section 6 hereof. If the Administrative Agent shall determine to issue a “booking” approval in respect of such wholesale invoice, as provided for in Section 6 hereof, it shall reasonably promptly send a copy of such “booking” approval to each Lender. The Administrative Agent shall cause any such “booking” approval to be sent to each Lender not later than one business day prior to the Funding Date in respect of the Advance identified in such approval. Subject to the second paragraph of this clause (a), each Lender agrees to fund to the Administrative Agent (in immediately available funds) its Pro Rata Share of the Advance identified in such approval on the Funding Date in respect thereof. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the applicable Borrower on the Funding Date the immediately available funds received from the Lenders in respect of any wholesale invoice of such Borrower and the approval issued in respect thereof. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to fund any portion of an Advance for which one or more Lenders shall have failed under this paragraph to deliver their Pro Rata Share thereof (an “Unfunded Portion of an Advance”). The Administrative Agent may request one or more other Lenders to fund any such Unfunded Portion of an Advance but shall be under no obligation to do so and no such other Lender shall be under any obligation under this paragraph to fund any such Unfunded Portion of an Advance.
 
-36-

 
For so long as Textron Financial Corporation shall be the Administrative Agent and Textron Financial shall be a Lender and subject at all times to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, Textron Financial agrees to fund to the Administrative Agent the Pro Rata Share of each Lender other than Textron Financial (each, an “Other Lender”) in respect of each Advance identified in an applicable “booking” approval on the Funding Date in respect thereof, provided that each such Advance is being made by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. With respect to each such Advance, each Other Lender agrees to deliver to Textron Financial, as provided for in Part II on the Schedule of Terms and Disclosures attached hereto, on the Settlement Date first occurring after the Funding Date in respect of such Advance, its Pro Rata Share of such Advance in immediately available funds (with respect to each Other Lender, a “Settlement Date Funding Payment”). Unless an Other Lender shall have affirmatively stated to both the Administrative Agent and Textron Financial, in writing, at the time that such Lender became a lender under this Agreement, that it does not desire this paragraph to operate with respect to it, this paragraph shall automatically operate with respect to each Other Lender and its Pro Rata Share of Advances to be funded hereunder. If an Other Lender shall fail to deliver to Textron Financial on the applicable Settlement Date its Settlement Date Funding Payment in respect of any Advance previously funded by Textron Financial under this paragraph, (1) the funding accommodation being provided by Textron Financial to such non-funding Other Lender under this paragraph shall be automatically withdrawn and Textron Financial shall not fund such non-funding Other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of future Advances hereunder, (2) any and all voting and consent rights of such non-funding Other Lender shall be automatically deemed withdrawn and such non-funding Other Lender shall not constitute a “Lender” for voting or consent purposes or be included in the calculation of “Majority Lenders” hereunder, (3) such non-funding Other Lender shall owe Textron Financial interest on its unfunded Settlement Date Funding Payment at 2.00% per annum over the interest rate otherwise applicable to the underlying Advance hereunder for the actual number of days its Settlement Date Funding Payment remains unfunded, and (4) the Administrative Agent shall pay to Textron Financial all payments in respect of the Advance funded by Textron Financial for such non-funding Other Lender until the Settlement Date Funding Payment of such non-funding Other Lender and all interest accruing thereon as provided in subclause (3) above shall have been paid in full and Textron Financial shall be further entitled to receive all Late Fees in respect thereof and any unused credit line fees that would have otherwise been payable to such non-funding Other Lender until all amounts owing under this sub-clause (4) have been paid in full. The rights and remedies under this paragraph are in addition to any other rights and remedies that Textron Financial and the Administrative Agent or any other party may have against such non-funding Other Lender. With respect to any non-funding Other Lender, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, notify such non-funding Other Lender of its intention to replace such non-funding Other Lender with a substitute Lender (a “Substitute Lender”). If the Administrative Agent obtains a Substitute Lender within 180 days following notice of its intention to do so, the applicable non-funding Other Lender must sell and assign all of its Pro Rata Shares of all of the Advances and any interest, finance charges and fees related thereto together with the remainder of its Commitment hereunder to such Substitute Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of such Pro Rata Shares and all accrued interest, finance charges and fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale and the Administrative Agent may deduct from the proceeds thereof all payments owing to Textron Financial under this paragraph and pay the same to Textron Financial. For the avoidance of doubt, once Textron Financial has funded an Other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an Advance hereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the funding accommodation being provided by Textron Financial to such Other Lender under this paragraph, such Other Lender is obligated to pay to Textron Financial the related Settlement Date Funding Payment on the applicable Settlement Date notwithstanding any insolvency, bankruptcy, Default or Event of Default that may have arisen on or after the applicable Funding Date and on, after or prior to the applicable Settlement Date; it being the intention of Textron Financial, the Administrative Agent and the Other Lenders that the applicable Other Lender shall be irrevocably bound to pay to Textron Financial, without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, the full amount of the Settlement Date Funding Payment on the applicable Settlement Date. Without limiting any of the foregoing, until Textron Financial shall have received from any Other Lender its Settlement Date Funding Payment on the applicable Settlement Date (y) all interest accrued under this Agreement in respect of the underlying Pro Rata Share of the Advance of such Other Lender from the applicable Funding Date to the applicable Settlement Date shall belong to Textron Financial and the Administrative Agent shall cause the same to be paid to Textron Financial upon receipt thereof and such Other Lender shall not be entitled to any portion thereof and (z) any payments of principal received by the Administrative Agent in respect of the underlying Pro Rata Share of the Advance of such Other Lender shall likewise be paid to Textron Financial and the Settlement Date Funding Payment shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis in respect thereof. The funding accommodations being provided in this paragraph by Textron Financial are for the sole benefit of the Other Lenders participating in such accommodation and there shall be no other third-party beneficiaries in respect thereof, including, without limitation, the Borrowers or any Other Lender that has elected not to, or is no longer eligible to, participate in such accommodation.

(b) Distributions to Lenders. Subject to the second paragraph of clause (a) above and the second paragraph of this clause (b), the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from any Borrower or from proceeds of Collateral in respect of any Advance or Advances and all interest, finance charges, fees and Late Fees in respect thereof by 11:00 a.m. (Administrative Agent’s time) on the first business day after the Administrative Agent’s receives good, collected funds in respect of such payments if such good, collected funds are received prior to 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s time) and by 11:00 a.m. (Administrative Agent’s time) on the second business day after the Administrative Agent receives good, collected funds in respect of such payments if such funds shall be received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s time). No Lender shall be entitled to any share of the following fees and/or expenses payable to the Administrative Agent hereunder: any fees for NSF checks, any Audit Fees and other reimbursement for Audit costs and expenses, any indemnification payments to be paid to the Administrative Agent and all other costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent to be reimbursed by anyone or more of the Borrowers and/or the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may deduct anyone or more of the aforesaid fees and expenses payable to the Administrative Agent on a priority basis from any payments or proceeds of Collateral otherwise payable or distributable to the Lenders hereunder and pay the same to itself. The payment of all such fees and expenses shall be secured by a lien and security interest in and to the Collateral and the Borrowers hereby grant the same to the Administrative Agent. The Lenders shall be entitled to their respective Pro Rata Share of the fee payable by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent under the last paragraph of Section 10 hereof in respect of unused portion of the Total Credit Line. The Administrative Agent may equitably adjust, in its sole and reasonable determination, the Pro Rata Shares of any payment or fee to be shared among the Lenders to give effect to any Unfunded Portion of an Advance or Advances in respect of any Lender or Lenders hereunder and any Lender or Lenders that may have covered the same, in each case with respect to fundings effected under the first paragraph of clause (a) above.
 
-38-

 
With respect to each Other Lender subject to Textron Financial’s funding accommodation set forth in the second paragraph of clause (a) above, each such Other Lender hereby irrevocably directs the Administrative Agent to pay all principal payments in respect of its Pro Rata Share of any Advance that would otherwise be paid to it under the first paragraph of this clause (b) (with respect to such Other Lender, its “Pro Rata Principal Payments”) to Textron Financial. On each Settlement Date, Textron Financial shall remit to each such Other Lender an amount equal to the Pro Rata Principal Payments paid to it by the Administrative Agent since the last Settlement Date (or, in the case of the first Settlement Date, since the date of this Agreement) together with interest thereon calculated at the Prime Rate for the actual number of days such Pro Rata Principal Payments were held by Textron Financial (excluding the day on which such Pro Rata Principal Payments were delivered to the applicable Other Lender). Any Pro Rata Principal Payments of an Other Lender received by Textron Financial from the Administrative Agent under this paragraph shall be held in trust by Textron Financial for such Other Lender but, in any case, subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph and the second paragraph of clause (a) above, Textron Financial may invest, deposit, commingle or otherwise deal with such Pro Rata Principal Payments in any manner that it desires and all interest or other yields earned thereon shall be for the exclusive benefit of Textron Financial and such Pro Rata Principal Payments shall be subject to being applied by Textron Financial to satisfy any obligations of such Other Lender to Textron Financial under the second paragraph of clause (a) above if such Other Lender shall become a non-funding Other Lender. If, for any reason, Textron Financial is required to return to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to Section 29.9 hereof or otherwise, any amount received from the Administrative Agent and paid to an Other Lender, such Other Lender will, upon notice from Textron Financial, return to Textron Financial the amount which such Other Lender has received from Textron Financial (together with all interest thereon paid to such Other Lender by Textron Financial and such additional interest thereon as the Administrative Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or other person effecting such recovery). With respect to any Settlement Date and any Other Lender, Textron Financial may net payments owing to it from such Other Lender under the second paragraph of clause (a) above against payments owing from it under this paragraph to such Other Lender and either pay such net amount to such Other Lender or have such Other Lender pay such net amount to it, as appropriate; in any case, Textron Financial will send to each Other Lender participating in the Textron Financial funding accommodation set forth in the second paragraph of clause (a) above and this paragraph one business day prior to each Settlement Date a statement showing its determination of payments owing from such Other Lender to Textron Financial under the second paragraph of clause (a) above and its determination of payments owing to such Other Lender from Textron Financial under this paragraph and the net amount due to or from Textron Financial, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, Textron Financial does not assume nor will it have any liability or obligation whatsoever to any Other Lender for any Borrower’s repayment of all or any part of any Advance or any interest, finance charges or fees thereon or related thereto. All payments to be made by Textron Financial to any Other Lender shall be made pursuant to written payment instructions submitted to Textron Financial by such Other Lender reasonably in advance of the applicable date for such payments.
 
(c) Administrative Agent’s Fee. In consideration of the undertakings of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, each of the Lenders hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent the following: with respect to each Advance, the amount of interest that shall have accrued hereunder on such Advance from the Booking Date thereof to and including the Funding Date thereof provided that such amount of interest shall have been actually collected by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers and/or the Collateral. Each of the Lenders hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deduct, on a priority basis, such amount of interest from all payments or collections hereunder and to pay the same to itself. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that it has assigned and transferred such portion of such interest to the Administrative Agent and that it shall have no right to collect, receive and/or retain the same.
 
29.9 Return of Payments.
 
(a) Anticipatory Payments to Lenders. If the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion to pay an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Administrative Agent from anyone or more of the Borrowers and such related payment is not so received by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
 
-39-

 
(b) Return of Payments. If the Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower or paid to any other person pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, Any amount returned to any Borrower hereunder shall be automatically reinstated as an obligation hereunder.
 
29.10 Dissemination of Information. The Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to deliver to each Lender a copy of any notice of a Default or Event of Default or any notice of termination received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower. The Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to inform each Lender of any Default or Event of Default of which a senior administrative officer of Administrative Agent has actually become aware and will further inform each Lender of any action taken by the Administrative Agent following any such Default or Event of Default, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent agrees, upon the request of any Lender, to deliver any financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent under Section 20 hereof and any compliance certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent under Section 37.3 hereof to the extent not delivered to such Lender.
 
29.11 Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to accelerate the indebtedness and obligations owed to it hereunder or to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to accelerate indebtedness hereunder or to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Administrative Agent.
 
29.12 Offsets. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, but subject in any case to Section 29.11 above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of any Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower) and any other properties or assets any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of any Borrower against and on account of any of the obligations which are not paid when due hereunder owing to such Lender. Any Lender exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the obligations owing to it in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

The Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent will have the right to refrain from or postpone enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreements between or among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers without prejudice and the failure to strictly enforce these agreements will not be construed as having created a course of dealing between or among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers contrary to the specific terms of the agreements or as having modified, released or waived the same. The express terms of this Agreement will not be modified by any course of dealing, usage of trade, or custom of trade which may deviate from the terms hereof. Except as provided in Sections 28.2, 28.3, and 44 or with respect to any ministerial corrections to the terms and provisions of this Agreement agreed to, in writing, among the Borrowers and Administrative Agent, this Agreement may be amended or modified or provisions waived only in a writing signed by the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, provided that no such amendment or modification or waiver shall, without the prior written consent of the affected Lender, reduce, waive, forgive, defer or postpone any payment of principal, interest or fees hereunder to such Lender, reduce any rate of interest provided for herein, change the dollar amount of the Total Credit Line allocated to such Lender or its Commitment, release any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder to such Lender, or change the definition of “Total Credit Line” or “Majority Lenders.” If any Borrower fails to pay any taxes, fees or other obligations which may impair the Administrative Agent’s security interest or lien in the Collateral, or fails to keep the Collateral insured, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, pay such taxes, fees or obligations and pay the cost to insure the Collateral, and the amounts paid will be: (a) an additional debt owed by Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, which shall be subject to finance charges as provided herein; and (b) due and payable immediately in full.
