ARTICLE II

Credit Facilities

Section 2.1. Commitment to Provide Loans . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Financing Orders, the Lender agrees to make Loans (each such Loan, a “Loan”) to the Debtors from time to time during the Credit Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the lesser of $3,242,000.00 and the aggregate drawdown amounts set forth in the Budget through the most recent Budget Period (the “Commitment”). The Debtors, jointly and severally, agree to repay all of the Obligations owed to the Lender under the terms of this Section 2.1 and this Agreement.

Section 2.2. Method of Borrowing . The Debtors shall request Loans by submitting a written request to the Lender specifying the principal amount of the Loan requested. The Lender shall honor each loan request by making a wire transfer to the Debtors’ operating account in the amount of the Loan requested, provided that (i) honoring the request would not cause the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans to exceed the Commitment, (ii) such request is in specific accordance with the line items set forth in the Budget for the Budget Period to which such request relates and (iii) an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing. Each request for a Loan shall constitute a representation by the Debtors that each of the representations and warranties in Article V of this Agreement is true and complete in all material respects as of the date of such request.

Section 2.3. Interest Rate . As provided further below, interest shall accrue on the average daily outstanding balance of the Loans at the rate of LIBOR plus 2% per annum. On each monthly anniversary of the Effective Date and on the effective date of the Plan (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), accrued interest shall be paid in kind and shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations owing by the Debtors to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Any accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the date that the outstanding principal amount of the Loans is paid or becomes due and payable in full. In the event of an Event of Default, the Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 4% per annum for each day from the date of the Event of Default until the Loans are paid in full.

Section 2.4. Computation of Interest . Interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.5. Maturity; Payments . The Loans shall mature, and the principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations that may be due to the Lender under this Agreement, shall be immediately due and payable by the Debtors to the Lender upon the Maturity Date. The Obligations may be prepaid at any time by the Debtors without penalty. Immediately upon the receipt by the Debtors of any proceeds of any recovery upon any of the Debtors’ litigation claims, the Debtors shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such recovery after taking into account expenses (a “Mandatory Prepayment”). All payments by the Debtors shall be made to the Lender in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest hereunder.

Section 2.6. Reduction of Commitments . The Commitment of the Lender shall be permanently reduced by (a) the amount of any Mandatory Prepayment, and (b) an amount equal to all revenues received by the Debtors in a Budget Period net of amounts of up to 20% of such revenues to the extent such amounts are paid to Persons unrelated to the Debtors for commissions and fees in relation to such revenues.

Section 2.7. Use of Proceeds . The proceeds of the Loans shall be used only (i) to pay the Debtors’ obligations to the Lender hereunder, (ii) to pay the costs of the Debtors’ operations in the ordinary course of their businesses and in specific accordance with the line items set forth in the Budget, or (iii) to pay restructuring expenses and fees incurred by the Debtors as set forth in the Budget, and (iv) to pay such other amounts as may be agreed to by the Debtors and the Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein, no proceeds of the Loans shall be utilized for the payment of any fees and expenses incurred in connection with (x) any investigation of or challenge to the amount, extent, priority, validity, perfection or enforcement of indebtedness of the Debtors owing to the Lender, the Pre-Petition Lender, the Repo Counterparty or any Affiliate thereof, or to the collateral securing the Pre-Petition Loan or the perfection, priority or validity of the liens granted in favor of the Pre-Petition Lender with respect to the Pre-Petition Loan, or (y) any investigation, assertion, initiation or prosecutions of any claim, causes of action, adversary proceedings or other litigation against the Lender, the Pre-Petition Lender, Repo Counterparty or their Affiliates.

Section 2.8. Evidence of Debt . The Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender. The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lender to the Debtors and the interest and payments thereon. Upon the request of the Lender, the Debtors shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records, however, no such Note will be necessary as evidence of the Loans. The Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
