NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
     The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lexington Precision Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2007, the Company’s results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the Company’s cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. In preparing the interim consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures; actual results could differ from those estimates.
     The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the full year.
     The Company did not make the scheduled interest payments due on its Senior Subordinated Notes on November 1, 2006, and February 1 and May 1, 2007. On May 25, 2007, the Company entered into a six-month forbearance agreement with certain holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes, holding $25,428,000 aggregate principal amount, or 74.4% of the Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding. An additional $7,772,000 aggregate principal amount, or 22.7% of the Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding, is held by affiliates of the Company or their relatives. As long as the forbearance agreement is in effect, the Company will not be required to make interest payments on the Senior Subordinated Notes and the forbearing noteholders may not take any action to collect any past due interest payments. The Company agreed to raise the interest rate on the Senior Subordinated Notes from 12% to 16% for the period from March 9, 2007, through the end of the forbearance period.
     The failure to make the scheduled interest payments on the Senior Subordinated Notes caused a cross-default under the agreements governing the Company’s secured debt. Additionally, the Company was not in compliance with a financial covenant related to fixed charge coverage on February 28, March 31, and April 30, 2007, or with a financial covenant related to leverage on March 31, 2007. The Company has remained current on all principal and interest payments owed to the secured lenders. Effective May 25, 2007, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with the secured lenders. The forbearance agreement provides that the secured lenders will take no action, during the forbearance period, to accelerate or collect their loans as a result of any existing default or cross-default. The forbearance agreement modifies certain of the financial covenants effective March 31, 2007, through the end of the forbearance period, which is 120 days from May 25, 2007, and provides for extensions of 30 or 60 days in certain circumstances. As amended, the Company was in compliance with both its fixed charge coverage ratio and its leverage ratio as of March 31 and April 30, 2007.
     During the concurrent forbearance periods, the Company plans to pursue all available strategic alternatives to satisfy its outstanding debt, including (i) the refinancing of the Company’s indebtedness, (ii) the sale of the Company’s Rubber Group and (iii) the sale of the entire Company. The Company has

retained W. Y. Campbell and Company, a Detroit-based investment banking firm, to assist it in its efforts.
     If the Company is unable to restructure, refinance, or repay its secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes during the respective forbearance periods and its secured lenders and the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes do not agree to extend the forbearance periods, it may seek protection under chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code in order to permit it to continue to operate its business in an orderly fashion until a restructuring of the secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes can be consummated.
     The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a “going concern” basis, as such term is used in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A going concern basis contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to restructure, refinance, or repay its secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes is subject to risks and uncertainties. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue on a going concern basis. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts or classification of assets or liabilities to reflect these risks and uncertainties.
     For information regarding discontinued operations, please refer to Note 8.

  Secured Debt
     The failure to make the scheduled interest payments on the Senior Subordinated Notes on November 1, 2006, and February 1 and May 1, 2007, caused a cross-default under the agreements governing the Company’s secured debt. Additionally, the Company was not in compliance with a financial covenant related to fixed charge coverage on February 28, March 31, and April 30, 2007, or with a financial covenant related to leverage on March 31, 2007. The Company has remained current on all principal and interest payments owed to the secured lenders. Effective May 25, 2007, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with the secured lenders. The forbearance agreement provides that the secured lenders will take no action, during the forbearance period, to accelerate or collect their loans as a result of any existing default or cross-default. The forbearance agreement modifies all of the financial covenants during the forbearance period, which is 120 days from May 25, 2007, and provides for extensions of 30 or 60 days if certain conditions are met. As amended, the Company was in compliance with both its fixed charge coverage ratio and its leverage ratio as of March 31 and April 30, 2007.
     At March 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding loans of $12,277,000 and reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit of $1,562,000 under the revolving line of credit and unused availability was $864,000. Under the revolving line of credit, loans and reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit are limited to the lesser of $17,500,000 or an amount equal to (1) 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus (2) 65% of eligible inventories, minus (3) $500,000. Loans under the

revolving line of credit bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.75%. At March 31, 2007, the interest rate on loans outstanding under the revolving line of credit was 10.07%. The Company’s obligations under the revolving line of credit are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets other than real estate and a second priority lien on the Company’s real estate.
     At March 31, 2007, the outstanding balance of the equipment term loan was $11,042,000. The equipment term loan is payable in monthly principal installments of $208,000 through May 1, 2009, with the unpaid balance payable on May 15, 2009. Interest on the equipment term loan is payable monthly at LIBOR plus 6.5%. At March 31, 2007, the interest rate on the equipment term loan was 11.82%. The equipment term loan is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets other than real estate and a second priority lien on the Company’s real estate.
     At March 31, 2007, the outstanding balance of the real estate term loan was $14,572,000. The real estate term loan is payable in monthly principal installments of $61,000 through May 1, 2009, with the unpaid balance payable on May 15, 2009. Additionally, if the balance outstanding on the real estate term loan is not reduced to $11,022,000 or less by December 31, 2007 (which would require principal prepayments aggregating $3,000,000 in addition to the scheduled monthly principal payments), interest payments on the Company’s subordinated debt may only be made if the unused availability under the Company’s revolving line of credit exceeds an amount equal to $3,000,000 minus any principal prepayments made to date. At March 31, 2007, interest on the real estate term loan was payable monthly at LIBOR plus 6.5% on $10,572,000 of the loan and (2) the prime rate plus 8% on $4,000,000 of the loan. At March 31, 2007, the weighted average interest rate on the real estate term loan was 13.04%. Principal payments made on the real estate term loan are allocable first to the portion of the loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 6.5% and then to the portion of the loan that bears interest at the prime rate plus 8%. The real estate term loan is secured by a first priority lien on the Company’s real estate and a second priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s other assets.
     The agreements governing the revolving line of credit and the secured term loans contain covenants that (1) require the Company to maintain a maximum ratio of senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and minimum levels of fixed charge coverage, revenue, and EBITDA, (2) prohibit the payment of interest on subordinated debt if there would not be unused availability under the revolving line of credit of $3,000,000 through November 19, 2006, $5,000,000 from November 20, 2006, through February 1, 2007, and $3,000,000 from February 2 through August 1, 2007, after giving effect to such payment, (3) limit the Company’s capital expenditures to $5,500,000 and $6,000,000 per annum during the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, (4) limit the amount of new secured financing that the Company can incur for the purchase of plant and equipment to $2,500,000 during the term of the revolving line of credit, and (5) place certain other restrictions on the Company’s business and operations, including limitations on the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, the repurchase of common stock, the redemption of preferred stock, and the payment of cash dividends.
  Senior Subordinated Notes
     The Senior Subordinated Notes mature on August 1, 2009, and are unsecured obligations of the Company that are subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt. The Company did not make the scheduled interest payments due on the Senior Subordinated

Notes on November 1, 2006, and February 1 and May 1, 2007. On May 25, 2007, the Company entered into a six-month forbearance agreement with certain holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes, holding $25,428,000 aggregate principal amount, or 74.4% of the Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding. An additional $7,772,000 aggregate principal amount, or 22.7% of the Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding, is held by affiliates of the Company or their relatives. As long as the forbearance agreement is in effect, the Company will not be required to make interest payments on the Senior Subordinated Notes and the forbearing noteholders may not take any action to collect any past due interest payments. The Company agreed to raise the interest rate on the Senior Subordinated Notes from 12% to 16% for the period from March 9, 2007, through the end of the forbearance period.
  Junior Subordinated Note
     The Junior Subordinated Note matures on November 1, 2009, and is an unsecured obligation of the Company that is subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt and the Senior Subordinated Notes. The Junior Subordinated Note bears interest at 13% per annum, payable quarterly on February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1. The holder of the Junior Subordinated Note has deferred the interest payments due on November 1, 2006, and February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1, 2007, to February 1, 2008, and eliminated the cross-default provision contained in the Junior Subordinated Note.
  Series B Preferred Stock
     At March 31, 2007, there were outstanding 3,300 shares of the Company’s $8 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), par value $100 per share, with a carrying value of $658,000. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is (1) entitled to one vote, (2) redeemable for $200 plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, (3) convertible into 14.8148 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment), and (4) entitled, upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation and after payment of all liabilities of the Company, to a liquidation preference of $200 plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. Redemptions of $90,000 are scheduled on November 30 of each year in order to retire 450 shares of Series B Preferred Stock annually. The Company did not make scheduled redemptions in the aggregate amount of $630,000 during the years 2000 through 2006. The Company did not make the scheduled dividend payments on the Series B Preferred Stock on December 15, 2006, and March 15, 2007.
     The Series B Preferred Stock is classified as debt in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.”
  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     The Company believes that, at March 31, 2007, the fair values of the loans outstanding under the revolving line of credit, the equipment term loan, and the real estate term loan approximated the principal amounts of such loans.
     Because of the limited trading in the Company’s various unsecured debt securities, the Company is unable to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Junior Subordinated Note, or the Series B Preferred Stock.

  Cash Interest Paid
     Cash interest paid during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, including amounts allocated to discontinued operations, totaled $1,023,000 and $2,076,000, respectively.
Note 5 — Income Taxes
     At March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the Company’s net deferred income tax assets were fully reserved by a valuation allowance. The income tax provisions recorded during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, consisted of estimated state income taxes payable.
Note 6 — Net Loss per Common Share
     The calculations of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, are set forth below (in thousands, except per share amounts). The assumed conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and the assumed exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock were not dilutive. As a result, the weighted average number of outstanding common shares used in the calculation of net loss per common share set forth below does not reflect the assumed conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or the assumed exercise of the warrants. In addition, awards of restricted common stock issued under the Company’s 2005 Stock Award Plan are not considered outstanding common shares for purposes of the calculation of basic or diluted net income or loss per share of common stock until such shares vest.

Note 7 — Segments
  Description of Segments and Products
     The Company has two operating segments, the Rubber Group and the Metals Group. The Rubber Group manufactures tight-tolerance rubber components, primarily connector seals used in automotive wiring systems, insulators used in both original equipment and aftermarket automotive ignition-wire sets, and molded rubber components used in a variety of medical devices, such as intravenous feeding systems, syringes, and surgical equipment. The Metals Group manufactures machined metal components from aluminum, brass, steel, and stainless steel bars, forgings, and cold-headed blanks. The Rubber Group and the Metals Group conduct substantially all of their business within the continental United States.
     The Corporate Office consists primarily of general administrative functions that are not a result of any activity carried on by either the Rubber Group or the Metals Group. Corporate Office expenses include the compensation and benefits of the Company’s executive officers and corporate staff, rent on the office space occupied by these individuals, general corporate legal fees, including fees related to financings, and certain insurance expenses. Assets of the Corporate Office are primarily cash, certain prepaid expenses and other miscellaneous current assets, deferred tax assets, and deferred financing expenses.

Note 8 — Discontinued Operations
     The results of operations, assets, liabilities, and cash flows of the Company’s former die casting division have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
     In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issue Task Force Abstract No. 87-24, “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations” (“EITF 87-24”), the Company has allocated interest to discontinued operations based on the amount and the terms of the debt that was or will be required to be repaid using management’s estimate of the proceeds realized or to be realized on the actual or possible sale of assets of discontinued operations. No allocation was made to discontinued operations for any other interest or for any Corporate Office expenses.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
     Some of our statements in this Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements usually can be identified by our use of words like “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” or the negative thereof. They may be used when we discuss strategy, which typically involves risk and uncertainty, and they generally are based upon projections and estimates rather than historical facts and events.
     Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results or performance to be materially different from the future results or performance expressed in or implied by those statements. Some of those risks and uncertainties are:
    our ability to restructure, refinance, or repay our debt,
 
    increases and decreases in business awarded to us by our customers,
 
    unanticipated price reductions for our products as a result of competition,
 
    changes in the cost of raw materials,
 
    strength or weakness in the North American automotive market,
 
    financial difficulties encountered by our customers or suppliers,
 
    the filing by one or more of our customers or suppliers for protection under the federal bankruptcy code,
 
    changes in the competitive environment,
 
    labor interruptions at our facilities or at our customers’ or suppliers’ facilities,
 
    unanticipated operating results,
 
    changes in economic conditions, and
 
    changes in interest rates.
     Our results of operations for any particular period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any succeeding period. The use of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation that any of the projections or estimates expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements will be realized, and actual results may vary materially. We cannot assure you that any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will prove to be accurate. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by the discussion above.
     Because we have substantial borrowings for a company our size and because those borrowings require us to make substantial interest and principal payments, any negative event may have a greater adverse effect upon us than it would have upon a company of the same size that has less debt.
     For additional discussion about risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and Part II, Item IA of this Form 10-Q.

(2)   EBITDA is not a measure of performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for income from operations, net income, net cash provided by operating activities, or other operating or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have presented EBITDA here and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q because this measure is used by investors, as well as our own management, to evaluate the operating performance of our business, including its ability to service debt, and because it is used by our lenders in setting financial covenants. Our definition of EBITDA is not exactly the same definition of EBITDA as used to calculate compliance with the financial covenants that are incorporated in our secured loan agreements and may not be the same as the definition of EBITDA used by other companies.
 
(3)   The calculation of net cash provided by operating activities is detailed in the consolidated statement of cash flows that is part of our consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1.

     Our net sales for the first quarter of 2007 were $22,530,000, compared to net sales of $24,798,000 for the first quarter of 2006, a decrease of $2,268,000 or 9.1%. The decrease in net sales was principally a result of decreased unit sales of automotive components offset, in part, by increased unit sales of medical components. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2007 was $2,970,000, or 13.2% of net sales, compared to EBITDA of $3,828,000, or 15.4% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2006. Administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2007, included $185,000 of expenses incurred in connection with our efforts to restructure, refinance, or repay our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes as more fully discussed in the section titled “Liquidity” in this Part 1, Item 2.
     Net cash used by our operating activities during the first quarter of 2007 totaled $1,080,000, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $113,000 for the first quarter of 2006. For more information about the net cash provided or used by our operating activities, please refer to the consolidated statements of cash flows in Part I, Item 1, and to the section titled “Operating Activities” in this Part I, Item 2.
     The discussion that follows sets forth our analysis of the operating results of the Rubber Group, the Metals Group, and the Corporate Office for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
  Rubber Group
     The Rubber Group manufactures tight-tolerance rubber components. The Rubber Group’s primary products are connector seals used in automotive wiring systems, insulators used in both original equipment and aftermarket automotive ignition-wire sets, and molded rubber components used in a variety of medical devices, such as intravenous feeding systems, syringes, and surgical equipment.

EBITDA
  $ 3,578       18.7 %   $ 4,508       20.8 %
 
                       
     During the first quarter of 2007, total net sales of the Rubber Group decreased by $2,533,000, or 11.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2006. Net sales to automotive customers decreased by $3,820,000, or 20.5%, to $14,771,000, net sales to medical device manufacturers increased by $1,188,000, or 41.8%, to $4,032,000, and all other net sales increased by $99,000, or 36.1%, to $373,000.
     The decrease in net sales to automotive customers was primarily due to (1) decreased unit sales of connector seals for automotive wire harnesses, which we believe resulted primarily from production cutbacks by Detroit-based automakers, (2) reduced unit sales to original equipment manufacturers of insulators for automotive ignition-wire sets due to production cutbacks by Detroit-based automakers and the loss of certain parts to competitors, (3) reduced unit sales to manufacturers of aftermarket insulators for automotive ignition-wire sets, and to a lesser extent (4) price reductions on certain components. During the first quarter of 2007, the Rubber Group’s net sales to Delphi Corporation, its largest customer, totaled $2,082,000, a decrease of $1,308,000, or 38.6%, compared to net sales of $3,390,000 during the first quarter of 2006.
     Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 84.6% of net sales during the first quarter of 2007, compared to 82.5% of net sales during the first quarter of 2006, primarily due to underabsorption of fixed or partially fixed manufacturing overhead during a period of reduced sales volume, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense.
     Selling and administrative expenses of the Rubber Group expressed as a percentage of net sales increased to 4.6% of net sales during the first quarter of 2007, compared to 4.3% during the first quarter of 2006.
     During the first quarter of 2007, income from operations totaled $2,074,000, a decrease of $802,000, or 27.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2006. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2007 was $3,578,000, or 18.7% of net sales, compared to $4,508,000, or 20.8% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2006.

  Metals Group
     The Metals Group manufactures machined metal components from aluminum, brass, steel, and stainless steel bars, forgings, and cold-headed blanks. The Metals Group’s sales are primarily to automotive industry customers.
     The following table sets forth the operating results of the Metals Group for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the reconciliation of the Metals Group’s loss from operations to its EBITDA (dollar amounts in thousands):

EBITDA
  $ 152       4.5 %   $ (50 )     (1.6 )%
 
                       
     During the first quarter of 2007, net sales of the Metals Group increased by $265,000, or 8.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of sales to a new automotive customer.
     Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 97.3% of net sales during the first quarter of 2007 from 102.0% of net sales during the first quarter of 2006, primarily because of (1) improved production efficiencies, (2) lower depreciation expense, and (3) reduced material costs.
     During the first quarter of 2007, selling and administrative expenses decreased to $118,000 from $213,000 during the first quarter of 2006, primarily because of a reduction in salaried headcount.
     During the first quarter of 2007, the loss from operations was $26,000, compared to a loss from operations of $274,000 during the first quarter of 2006. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2007 was positive $152,000 compared to negative $50,000 for the first quarter of 2006.

     Corporate office expenses, which are not included in the operating results of the Rubber Group or the Metals Group, represent administrative expenses incurred primarily at our New York City and Cleveland offices. Corporate Office expenses are consolidated with the selling and administrative expenses of the Rubber Group and the Metals Group in our consolidated financial statements.

     The following table sets forth the operating results of the Corporate Office for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the reconciliation of the Corporate Office’s loss from operations to its EBITDA (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1)   Excludes the amortization and write-off of deferred financing expenses, which totaled $358,000, during the first quarter of 2006, and which is included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.

     During the first quarter of 2007, corporate administrative expenses increased to $763,000 from $639,000 during the first quarter of 2006, because we incurred expenses of $185,000 in connection with our efforts to refinance, restructure, or repay our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes as more fully discussed in the section titled “Liquidity” in this Part 1, Item 2.
  Interest Expense
     During the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, interest expense (excluding interest expense of $42,000 and $48,000, respectively, allocated to discontinued operations) totaled $2,185,000 and $2,278,000, respectively, which included amortization of deferred financing expenses of $358,000 during 2006. Effective December 31, 2006, we wrote off the remaining balance of unamortized deferred financing expense in the amount of $1,829,000. Excluding deferred financing expenses, interest expense during the first quarter of 2007 increased compared to the first quarter of 2006 because:
  1.   We incurred $123,000 of default interest on our secured debt;
 
  2.   We incurred $51,000 of interest on the interest payments that we failed to make on November 1, 2006, and February 1, 2007;
 
  3.   We incurred $89,000 of additional interest expense on our Senior Subordinated Notes and on the quarterly interest payments that we failed to make on November 1, 2006 and February 1, 2007, because we agreed to increase the interest rate on the notes from 12% to 16% effective March 9, 2007; and
 
  4.   The average amount of interest bearing debt outstanding increased to $71,898,000 in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $67,523,000 in the first quarter of 2006.
  Income Tax Provision
     At March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, our net deferred tax assets were fully reserved by a valuation allowance. The income tax provisions recorded during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, consisted of estimated state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
  Operating Activities
     During the first quarter of 2007, operating activities of our continuing operations used net cash of $1,080,000. Accounts receivable increased by $4,006,000 during the first quarter of 2007, primarily because our net sales during February and March of 2007 were higher than our net sales during November and December of 2006. Trade accounts payable increased by $1,328,000 primarily because of increased production levels to support increased net sales. Accrued interest expense increased by $1,203,000, because of additional accruals of interest on our subordinated debt.
  Investing Activities
     During the first quarter of 2007, investing activities of our continuing operations used net cash of $896,000. Capital expenditures attributable to the Rubber Group and the Metals Group totaled $630,000 and $198,000, respectively, primarily for the purchase of equipment used in manufacturing. Capital expenditures for the Rubber Group, the Metals Group, and the Corporate Office are currently projected to total $3,103,000, $415,000, and $59,000, respectively, for the year ending December 31, 2007. At March 31, 2007, we had approximately $187,000 of commitments outstanding to purchase equipment.
  Financing Activities
     During the first quarter of 2007, our financing activities provided net cash of $2,831,000 due to additional borrowings.
  Liquidity
     During the third and fourth quarters of 2006, we experienced a significant decrease in sales of automotive components. We believe that this reduction was primarily a result of production cutbacks by the Detroit-based automakers and resultant production cutbacks and inventory adjustments by our customers, who are primarily tier-one suppliers to automobile manufacturers. Although we reduced expenses in an effort to offset the impact of the lower sales, our operating profit and cash flow during the third and fourth quarters of 2006 were adversely affected, as was the availability under our revolving line of credit. During the first quarter of 2007, net sales improved to $22,530,000 compared to $20,371,000 and $18,293,000 during the third and fourth quarters of 2006, respectively. We expect sales to automotive customers to improve during the remainder of 2007.
     We did not make the scheduled interest payments due on our Senior Subordinated Notes on November 1, 2006, and February 1 and May 1, 2007. On May 25, 2007, we entered into a six-month forbearance agreement with certain holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes, holding $25,428,000 aggregate principal amount, or 74.4% of the Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding. An additional $7,772,000 aggregate principal amount, or 22.7% of the Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding, is held by affiliates of ours or their relatives. As long as the forbearance agreement is in effect, we will not be required to make interest payments on the Senior Subordinated Notes and the forbearing noteholders may not take any action to collect any past due interest payments. We agreed to raise the interest rate on the Senior Subordinated Notes from 12% to 16% for the period from March 9, 2007, through the end of the forbearance period.
     The failure to make the scheduled interest payments on the Senior Subordinated Notes caused a cross-default under the agreements governing our secured debt. Additionally, we were not in compliance

-19-


Table of Contents

with a financial covenant related to fixed charge coverage on February 28, March 31, and April 30, 2007, or with a financial covenant related to leverage on March 31, 2007. We have remained current on all principal and interest payments owed to the secured lenders. Effective May 25, 2007, we entered into a forbearance agreement with the secured lenders. The forbearance agreement provides that the secured lenders will take no action, during the forbearance period, to accelerate or collect their loans as a result of any existing default or cross-default. The forbearance agreement modifies certain of the financial covenants effective March 31, 2007, through the end of the forbearance period, which is 120 days from May 25, 2007, and provides for extensions of 30 or 60 days in certain circumstances. As amended, we were in compliance with both our fixed charge coverage ratio and our leverage ratio as of March 31 and April 30, 2007.
     During the concurrent forbearance periods, we plan to pursue all available strategic alternatives to satisfy our outstanding indebtedness, including (i) the refinancing of our indebtedness, (ii) the sale of our Rubber Group and (iii) the sales of the entire Company. We have retained W. Y. Campbell and Company, a Detroit-based investment banking firm, to assist us in our efforts.
     The financial covenants contained in our revolving line of credit and our secured term loans as revised by the terms of the forbearance agreement with our secured lenders are as set forth below. At the end of the forbearance period the financial covenants will revert back to those in effect before the forbearance agreement became effective. For the purpose of determining compliance with the covenants set forth below certain expenses are excluded from the determination of EBITDA and fixed charges. Please refer to the financing documents for definitions of capitalized terms.
  1.   Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated EBITDA, less Unfinanced Capital Expenditures, by consolidated Fixed Charges, and is required to be not less than 0.85 to 1.0 for the three- and four-month periods ended May 31, and June 30, 2007, respectively; 0.75 to 1.0 for the five-, six-, and seven-month periods ended July 31, August 31, and September 30, 2007, respectively; and 0.85 to 1.0 for each period commencing March 1, 2007, and ending on the last day of each month following September 30, 2007, until the forbearance period terminates. On March 31 and April 30, 2007, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 1.45 to 1.00.
 
  2.   Leverage Ratio. The Leverage Ratio is calculated by dividing Senior Debt by consolidated EBITDA and is required to be not more than 3.5 to 1.0 for the three- and four-month periods ended May 31, and June 30, 2007, respectively; 3.75 to 1.0 for the five-, six-, and seven-month periods ended July 31, August 31, and September 30, 2007, respectively; and 3.5 to 1.0 for each period commencing March 1, 2007, and ending on the last day of each month following September 30, 2007, until the forbearance period terminates. As of March 31 and April 30, 2007, our Leverage Ratio was 2.28 to 1.0, and 2.45 to 1.0, respectively.
 
  3.   Minimum Revenue. Revenue is required to be not less than 90% of specified amounts on a cumulative basis starting on March 1, 2007, through the last day of each month from May, 2007, through the end of the forbearance period. As of March 31 and April 30, 2007, our revenue exceeded the minimum revenue requirement by $800,000 and $2,087,000, respectively.
 
  4.   Minimum EBITDA. EBITDA is required to be not less than 90% of specified amounts on a cumulative basis starting on March 1, 2007, through the last day of each month from May, 2007, through the end of the forbearance period. As of April 30, 2007, our EBITDA, which

-20-


Table of Contents

      is to be measured starting with the two month period ending April 30, 2007, exceeded the minimum EBITDA requirement by $498,000.
     Although there can be no assurance, we currently believe that we will be able to restructure, refinance, or repay our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes and thereby remedy the defaults currently existing on the secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes within the forbearance periods. If we are unable to restructure, refinance, or repay our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes within the forbearance periods and we are unable to extend the forbearance period, we likely would seek protection under chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code in order to permit us to continue to operate our business in an orderly fashion until a restructuring and/or refinancing of our indebtedness could be consummated.
     Our consolidated financial statements have been presented on a “going concern” basis, as such term is used in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A going concern basis contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to restructure, refinance, or repay our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes is subject to risks and uncertainties. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts or classification of assets or liabilities to reflect this uncertainty.
     Consolidated EBITDA totaled $2,970,000 during the first quarter of 2007. The Rubber Group reported EBITDA of $3,578,000, or 18.7% of net sales, the Metals Group reported EBITDA of $152,000, or 4.5% of net sales, and the Corporate Office recorded negative EBITDA of $760,000, which included $185,000 of expenses incurred in connection with our efforts to restructure, refinance, or repay our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes. For the second quarter, we project that the EBITDA of the Rubber Group will be approximately $4,000,000, or 20% of net sales, and that EBITDA of the Metals Group will be approximately $275,000, or 7% of net sales. We also project that consolidated EBITDA for all of 2007, excluding all expenses incurred in connection with our efforts to restructure, refinance, or repay our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes, will exceed $15,000,000.
     At March 31, 2007, our aggregate indebtedness was $75,268,000, (including $2,051,000 of past due interest,) compared to $71,132,000 at December 31, 2006 (including $1,025,000 of past due interest).
     At March 31, 2007, we had outstanding loans of $12,277,000 and reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit of $1,562,000 under our revolving line of credit, and unused availability and cash on hand of $1,708,000. Under the revolving line of credit, loans and reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit are limited to the lesser of $17,500,000 or an amount equal to (1) 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus (2) 65% of eligible inventories, minus (3) $500,000. Loans under the revolving line of credit bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.75%. At March 31, 2007, the interest rate on loans outstanding under the revolving line of credit was 10.07%. Our obligations under the revolving line of credit are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets other than real estate and a second priority lien on our real estate.
     At March 31, 2007, the outstanding balance of the equipment term loan was $11,042,000. The equipment term loan is payable in monthly principal installments of $208,000 through May 1, 2009, with the unpaid balance payable on May 15, 2009. Interest on the equipment term loan is payable monthly at LIBOR, plus 6.5%. At March 31, 2007, the interest rate on the equipment term loan was 11.82%. The equipment term loan is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets other than real estate and a second priority lien on our real estate.

-21-


Table of Contents

     At March 31, 2007, the outstanding balance of the real estate term loan was $14,572,000. The real estate term loan is payable in monthly principal installments of $61,000 through May 1, 2009, with the unpaid balance payable on May 15, 2009. If the balance outstanding on the real estate term loan is not reduced to $11,022,000 or less by December 31, 2007 (which would require principal prepayments aggregating $3,000,000 in addition to the scheduled monthly principal payments), interest payments on our subordinated debt may only be made if the unused availability under our revolving line of credit exceeds an amount equal to $3,000,000 minus any principal prepayments made to date. At March 31, 2007, interest on the real estate term loan was payable monthly at LIBOR plus 6.5% on $10,572,000 of the loan and (2) the prime rate plus 8% on $4,000,000 of the loan. At March 31, 2007, the weighted average interest rate on the real estate term loan was 13.04%. Principal payments made on the real estate term loan are allocable first to the portion of the loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 6.5% and then to the portion of the loan that bears interest at the prime rate plus 8%. The real estate term loan is secured by a first priority lien on our real estate and a second priority lien on substantially all of our other assets.
     In addition to the financial covenants discussed above, the agreements that govern our revolving line of credit and secured term loans contain covenants that (1) limit our capital expenditures to $5,500,000 and $6,000,000 per annum during the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, (2) limit the amount of new secured financing we can incur for the purchase of plant and equipment to $2,500,000 during the term of the new secured financing, and (3) place certain other restrictions on our business and operations, including limitations on the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the repurchase of common stock, the redemption of preferred stock, and the payment of cash dividends.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We do not invest in or trade market risk sensitive instruments. We also do not have any foreign operations or any significant amount of foreign sales and, therefore, we believe that our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk is insignificant.
     At March 31, 2007, we had outstanding $37,891,000 of floating-rate debt at interest rates equal to either LIBOR plus 4.75%, LIBOR plus 6.50%, or the prime rate plus 8.0%.
     At March 31, 2007, we had outstanding $35,326,000 of fixed-rate debt with a weighted-average interest rate of 15.7%.
     In the absence of a restructuring, refinancing, or repayment of our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes, we currently estimate that our monthly interest expense during the remaining nine months of 2007 will be approximately $921,000 and that a one percentage point increase or decrease in short-term interest rates would increase or decrease our monthly interest expense by approximately $29,000.
     For further information about our indebtedness, please refer to Note 4, “Debt,” to our consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Our Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of the management of our operating divisions, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officers and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure

that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They also reviewed our internal controls and determined that there have been no changes in our internal controls or in other factors identified in connection with this evaluation that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
     The first risk factor in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2006, is replaced in its entirety by the following:
The Company Must Refinance its Secured Debt and its Senior Subordinated Notes or Undertake a Sale of the Rubber Group or of the Company.
     As more fully described in the “Liquidity” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” in Part I, Item 2, we are currently in default of our secured debt and our Senior Subordinated Notes and have entered into forbearance agreements with the secured lenders and holders of 74.5% of the Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding. The forbearance agreements are intended to allow us to attempt to remedy the payment defaults that now exist on our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes in an orderly fashion. During the concurrent forbearance periods, we plan to pursue all available strategic alternatives to satisfy our outstanding debt, including (i) the refinancing of our indebtedness, (ii) the sale of our Rubber Group and, (iii) the sale of the entire Company. We have retained W.Y. Campbell and Company, a Detroit-based investment banking firm, to assist us in our efforts. If we are unable to consummate any of these measures in the forbearance periods and the forbearance periods are not extended, we may seek protection under chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code in order to permit us to continue to operate our business in an orderly fashion until a restructuring of our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes can be consummated. Our consolidated financial statements have been presented on a “going concern” basis, as such term is used in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A going concern basis contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to restructure, refinance, or repay our secured debt and Senior Subordinated Notes is subject to risks and uncertainties. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts or classification of assets or liabilities to reflect theses risks and uncertainties.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
     On November 1, 2006, and February 1 and May 1, 2007, we failed to pay the quarterly interest payments, each in the amount of $1,025,000, then due on our Senior Subordinated Notes.

Exhibit 10-1
EXECUTION VERSION
AGREEMENT
          This AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of May 18, 2007 by and between Lexington Precision Corporation (“LPC”) and Lexington Rubber Group, Inc. (“LRG”) (collectively, the “Borrowers”), as borrowers under that certain Credit and Security Agreement with Borrower dated May 31, 2006 (as amended to date and as may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), and CapitalSource Finance LLC (“CapitalSource”), as a lender, as collateral agent and administrative agent for itself and other lenders under the Credit Agreement (CapitalSource, when acting in such capacity, is herein called the “Revolver Agent”), and as Co-Documentation Agent, and Webster Business Credit Corporation (“Webster”) as a lender (CapitalSource and Webster, as lenders, collectively the “Revolver Lenders”) and as Co-Documentation Agent (CapitalSource and Webster in such capacity, collectively the “Co-Documentation Agents”), and by and among Borrowers as borrowers under that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated May 31, 2006 (as amended to date and as may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) and CSE Mortgage LLC (“CSE”), as a lender and as collateral agent for itself and each other lender under the Loan Agreement (CSE, when acting in such capacity, is herein called the “Loan Agent”) (Revolver Agent and Loan Agent, collectively, the “Agents”), and DMD Special Situations Funding, LLC, (“DMD”), as a lender under the Loan Agreement (CSE and DMD collectively, the “Mortgage Loan Lenders”) (Revolver Lenders and Mortgage Loan Lenders collectively, the “Lenders”; those Lenders agreeing to this Agreement the “Forbearing Lenders”).
RECITALS:
     A. Revolver Lenders have loaned money and made credit available to Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Mortgage Loan Lenders have loaned money and made credit available to Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
     B. Borrowers and CapitalSource, Webster, CSE and DMD in their various capacities have entered into that certain First Amendment and Default Waiver Agreement dated as of November 20, 2006, (the “Former Forbearance Agreement”). Collectively the Credit Agreement, Loan Agreement and Former Forbearance Agreement may be referred to herein as the “Documents.”
     C. The Lenders have asserted that certain Defaults and Events of Default (each as defined in the Documents) have occurred under the Documents, as set forth in: (a) the Former Forbearance Agreement, (b) that Notice of Default and Notice of Termination letter issued to Borrowers by the Agents, dated February 2, 2007; (c) that certain Notice of Events of Default dated March 5, 2007; (d) that certain Notice of Events of Default dated April 4, 2007; and (e) those certain letters, the most recent of which is dated May 17, 2007, between Agent and the Borrowers related to amounts being borrowed by Borrowers under the Revolver (the “Discretionary Funding Letters” and, collectively with the correspondence identified in (b)-(e), the “Default Letters”). The Defaults and Events of Default set forth in the Former Forbearance Agreement and the Default Letters are hereby incorporated herein verbatim. The parties hereto agree that “Designated Defaults” as used herein include:
  i.   the Borrowers’ failure to meet the covenant set forth in Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement as a result of their failure to meet their Fixed Charge Coverage requirement for the period ending January 31, 2007;

-1-


 

  ii.   the Borrowers’ failure to furnish, as required under Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement, December 2006 covenant calculations pursuant to the request of Revolver Agent on or before February 15, 2007;
 
  iii.   the Borrowers’ failure to obtain a landlord waiver for the Borrowers’ New York City location;
 
  iv.   the Borrowers’ failure to make those certain interest payments arising under that certain Indenture dated as of November 18, 2003 (as supplemented or amended) in respect of LPC’s 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due August 1, 2009 (the “Subordinate Debt Issue”) due (1) November 1, 2006; (2) February 1, 2007; and (3) May 1, 2007 (or to cure such payment defaults within the applicable cure period);
 
  v.   the Borrowers’ failure to meet the covenant set forth in Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement as a result of their failure to meet their Fixed Charge Coverage requirements for the periods ending February 28, 2007, and March 31, 2007;
 
  vi.   the Borrowers will fail, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, to make those certain interest payments on account of the Subordinate Debt Issue due (1) August 1, 2007 and (2) November 1, 2007 (and will not cure such payment defaults within the applicable cure period).
Borrowers contest that Designated Defaults i, ii, and iii are Defaults or Events of Default but acknowledge that Designated Defaults iv and v have occurred and are continuing to occur through the date of this agreement and that Designated Default vi will occur in the future. Borrowers acknowledge that the failure to list an alleged Default or Event of Default herein or in the Former Forbearance Agreement or Default Letters shall not impair Agents’ or Lenders’ abilities to pursue any rights or exercise any remedies related to such alleged Defaults or Events of Default upon an Event of Termination (as defined below).
     D. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that as a result of the occurrence of the Designated Defaults: (i) Agents and Lenders are entitled to accelerate the Obligations, to seek immediate payment in full of the Obligations and to exercise their rights and remedies under the Documents; and (ii) Lenders have no obligation to make further Loans or Advances or otherwise extend credit to Borrowers under the Documents or otherwise.
     E. On April 6, 2007, DMD sent a notice of acceleration to the Borrowers pursuant to which DMD made its election to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations owed to DMD. This acceleration commenced a 180-day standstill period pursuant to the Documents during which period DMD may not enforce its remedies (the “DMD Standstill Period”).
     F. Borrowers have requested that Agents and Lenders forbear from accelerating the Obligations and from taking present action to collect payment in full of the Obligations, and Lenders have agreed to do so under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
          NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, Agents, Lenders and Borrowers agree as follows:
     1. Incorporation of Recitals; Definitions. Each of the foregoing recitals is hereby acknowledged and affirmed as being accurate and complete and is hereby incorporated as part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms defined in the Recitals section of this Agreement are incorporated

-2-


 

herein by this reference and are used herein as so defined. Capitalized terms used herein to the extent not otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meaning as provided in the Documents.
     2. Forbearance. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth herein, until that date (the “Forbearance Termination Date”), which is the earliest to occur of (a) 4:00 p.m. (Eastern) on the one hundred twentieth day following the Effective Date (as defined herein) of this Agreement, plus an additional thirty (30) days (or sixty (60) days in the event of the execution of an LOI with a Deposit or an APA, as set forth in paragraph 3) should an Extending Event occur (as defined in the following paragraph), or (b) the consummation of a refinancing or a sale of the stock or assets of Borrowers (other than in the ordinary course), or (c) the date of the occurrence of any one or more Events of Termination (defined herein) (the “Forbearance Period”), Lenders will not exercise or enforce their rights or remedies against Borrowers which Agents or Lenders would be entitled to exercise or enforce under the terms of the Documents by reason of the occurrence or continuance of the Designated Defaults. This Agreement shall not act as a waiver of Agents or Lenders’ right to enforce any claims, rights or remedies, nor shall this Agreement act as a forbearance in the event Defaults or Events of Default (other than the Designated Defaults) occur at any time prior to the Forbearance Termination Date. Further, this forbearance shall not act as a waiver of Agents or Lenders’ right to enforce any claims, rights or remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring the Forbearing Lenders to extend the Forbearance Termination Date, except pursuant to paragraph 3. On the Forbearance Termination Date, without notice, the Obligations shall be deemed automatically accelerated and immediately due and payable in full by Borrowers (unless Agents notify Borrowers otherwise in writing) to Lenders and the Borrowers’ ability to borrow additional amounts under any of the Documents shall be deemed terminated.
     3. Extending Events. An “Extending Event” shall be the delivery to Agents and Lenders of either of the following documents: (i) a letter conveying a financing proposal executed by Borrowers and an entity or person that has the financial capability to provide the proposed financing and which is not an affiliate or subsidiary in, or officer or director of, any Borrower (the “Refinancing Lender”), pursuant to which such Refinancing Lender commits to provide credit to the Borrowers, prior to the expiration of the Forbearance Period, in an amount equal to or in excess of the amount necessary to pay in full and in cash all Obligations owing on the date such amounts are remitted to the Lenders, provided that, as of such initial Forbearance Termination Date, such proposal or commitment letter does not have a contingency that makes the obligations of the Refinancing Lender subject to completing any due diligence (other than, with respect to any real estate, the completion of satisfactory surveys, title reports, environmental reports or other reports prepared by a governmental agency, engineer or attorney which such governmental agency or attorney advises the Borrowers will take more than thirty (30) days to complete) (the “Commitment Letter”); or (ii) one or more letters of intent (“LOI”) executed by Borrowers and entities or persons (the “Buyers”) pursuant to which the Borrowers, prior to the expiration of the Forbearance Period will sell such stock and/or assets and receive and tender the funds from such sale to Lenders at a price sufficient to repay in full and in cash all Obligations on the date the funds are remitted to the Lenders. In the event an LOI is executed during the initial Forbearance Period, the Forbearance Period shall be extended automatically to one hundred fifty (150) days from the Effective Date. In the event an LOI is executed which is accompanied by an earnest money deposit equal to at least three percent (3%) of the purchase price (the “Deposit”), or if an Asset Purchase Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement (collectively the “APA”) is executed, or if the Deposit requirement of this Agreement is specifically waived by Agents, in writing, then the Forbearance Period (whether prior to the expiration of the initial Forbearance Period or during any extended Forbearance Period) will be extended, automatically, to a total of one hundred eighty (180) days from the Effective Date. The Deposit shall be remitted to an

-3-


 

institutional Escrow Agent mutually satisfactory to the Borrowers, Buyers, Agents and Lenders.
     4. DMD Standstill. DMD agrees that the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Agreement apply to the Obligations owed to DMD, provided, however, that the Standstill Period shall be deemed completed upon the Forbearance Termination Date.
     5. Fees, Costs, and Expenses of Lenders. All reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of Lenders (subject to any limitations provided to Agents’ Financial Advisor provided herein) shall be charged to the Borrowers when they become due during the Forbearance Period, in accordance with the Documents and this Agreement and Agents and Lenders shall not forbear from charging or collecting such amounts during the Forbearance Period.
     6. Interest Rate. Interest under all of the Documents shall be charged at the Default Rate and shall be paid to Lenders in accordance with the Documents. Agents and Lenders shall not forbear from charging or collecting such amounts during the Forbearance Period.
     7. Revolving Facility Prior to Forbearance Termination Date. During the period commencing on the Effective Date (defined below) and ending on the Forbearance Termination Date, Revolving Lenders shall make additional Advances under the Credit Agreement provided the conditions to such further Advances as set forth in this Agreement and in the Documents have been met, including but not limited to: availability, compliance with all covenants (as supplemented or amended), and that no Defaults or Events of Default other than the Designated Defaults and no Events of Termination have occurred. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by Borrowers that upon an Event of Termination whether to make further Advances shall be solely within the discretion of the Revolving Agent or Revolving Lenders and that Revolving Agent’s or Revolving Lenders’ determination to extend Advances shall not in any manner be deemed to prejudice Revolving Agent or Revolving Lenders or act as a waiver of their otherwise applicable rights and remedies, including without limitation to cease making Advances without notice to Borrowers at any time, or to collect and enforce the full amount of the Obligations from and after the Forbearance Termination Date. As a condition to each Advance, Borrowers shall execute a form of Borrowing Base Certificate Agents will provide to the Borrowers which will represent that no Defaults or Events of Default exist under this Agreement, that there has been no material adverse event or change since the last Borrowing Base Certificate was submitted, and that reaffirms the terms of this Agreement (including the Releases provided to the Agents and Lenders hereunder) through the date of such borrowing.
     8. Forbearance Fee. A non-refundable forbearance fee in the amount equal to one percent of the Obligations outstanding on the Effective Date shall be charged on the Effective Date. The Forbearance Fee is deemed fully earned on the Effective Date and shall be paid as follows: Borrowers shall receive a credit of $130,140.64 against the Forbearance Fee for Default Interest charged during December 2006 and January 2007 on the Effective Date; the balance shall be due on the Forbearance Termination Date and Agent is directed to deduct such amount from the Revolving Credit Facility on the Forbearance Termination Date. If for any reason such amount is not paid on or before the Forbearance Termination Date, then the balance owing for such Forbearance Fee shall be added, pro rata (based upon the principal amounts then owing) to the Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreements, all of which shall accrue interest at the rate or rates then being applied under the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement from the Forbearance Termination Date until all Obligations are paid in full.
     9. Ratification of Existing Agreements and Amounts Owing. Borrowers hereby reaffirm all of the terms, conditions, representations and warranties of each of the Documents (except

-4-


 

as expressly set forth herein with respect to the Designated Defaults which have occurred and are continuing) and acknowledge that all of the Obligations are, by Borrowers’ execution of this Agreement, ratified and confirmed in all respects by Borrowers. Borrowers acknowledge that, as of May 17, 2007 (prior to any borrowing May 17), Borrowers are obligated to repay the outstanding Obligations to Agents and Lenders, including without limitation $39,101,704.73 of outstanding principal, $1,562,000 of L/C Obligations, all accrued and unpaid interest, late charges, pre-payment premiums, and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including without limitation legal fees and expenses due pursuant to the Documents and this Agreement (whether incurred by outside or in-house legal counsel) (the “Balance”). The Balance, plus all additional advances and new Obligations incurred between May 1, 2007 and the Effective Date are subject to no offset, recoupment, claim, counterclaim or defense of any kind to their enforcement. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that they are unconditionally liable to Lenders on a joint and several basis under the Documents for the payment of all Obligations, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, late charges, pre-payment premiums, and all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Agents and Lenders, including without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses, including in-house and outside attorneys’ fees and expenses, due pursuant to the Documents and this Agreement, the Agents’ Financial Advisor’s fees and expenses described below, and all other Obligations, each as set forth in the Documents or in this Agreement. Borrowers reaffirm that all Obligations are subject to the security interests previously granted under the Documents to the Lenders, that the Agents have, and will continue to have after execution of this Agreement, a continuing first (and second, as applicable) priority, perfected Lien on the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, created or arising, as set forth in the Documents, subject to no Liens other than Liens expressly permitted under the Documents. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that nothing herein contained in any way impairs Lenders’ existing rights under the Documents or Agents’ first and second (as applicable) priority lien status in the Collateral.
     10. Effective Date and Conditions Precedent. The obligations of the parties hereunder shall become effective on the date when each of the following conditions are met (the “Effective Date”): (a) Borrowers shall have delivered to Agents this Agreement duly executed by an authorized officer of Borrowers; (b) the Forbearing Lenders shall have countersigned this Agreement; (c) Borrowers shall have delivered to Agents the Budget (as defined below); (d) the Borrowers and ninety-seven percent of the holders of the obligations evidencing the Subordinated Debt Issue (the “Holders”), or the indenture trustee on behalf of the Holders, shall have executed an agreement pursuant to which the Holders or the indenture trustee on behalf of the Holders agree not to take action to enforce any right or remedy related to the Subordinated Debt Issue during the Forbearance Period (the “Subordinate Debt Forbearance Agreement”); and (e) the secretary of Borrowers’ boards of directors shall have delivered to Agents a duly executed secretary’s and incumbency certificate identifying the current officers of Borrowers who are duly authorized by Borrowers’ board of directors to execute and deliver Documents, including without limitation this Agreement, and identifying the current members of the boards of directors of Borrowers. In the event condition precedent (d) of this paragraph is not satisfied by 5:00 p.m. (Eastern) May 25, 2007 (unless further extended by the Forbearing Lenders in writing), then the terms of this document shall be deemed to have been withdrawn, and the parties stipulate that none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon any party hereto.
     11. Representations and Warranties. Borrowers hereby represent and warrant that: (a) Borrowers are duly formed, validly existing and in legal good standing in the State of Delaware, that each of Borrowers has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement; (b) Borrowers have duly executed and delivered this Agreement and this Agreement constitutes the valid, binding and legal obligation of Borrowers; (c) this Agreement is not being entered into with the intent to hinder or

-5-


 

defraud any person; and (d) the recitals set forth in the Recitals of this Agreement and all information and documents provided to Lenders in connection herewith are true, accurate and complete in all material respects. Further, Borrowers confirm, reaffirm and restate in all material respects to the Lenders, on and as of the Effective Date, the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Former Forbearance Agreement and the other Documents, except as may be set forth herein or to the extent that such representations and warranties solely relate to a specific earlier date in which case Borrowers confirm, reaffirm and restate in all material respects such representations and warranties as of such earlier date. Each request for an Advance under the Revolving Facility shall constitute Borrowers’ confirmation, reaffirmation and restatement in all material respects of the representations and warranties set forth in the this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Former Forbearance Agreement and the other Documents as of the date of each such request, except as set forth herein or except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to a specific earlier date in which case each such request shall constitute Borrowers’ confirmation, reaffirmation and restatement in all material respects of such representations and warranties as of such earlier date.
     12. Covenants. For purposes of this Agreement, EBITDA shall exclude expenses incurred by the Borrowers with their legal counsel and the I-Banker (as defined below) for professional services related directly to preparing for filing of a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or the sale or refinancing of the business (the “Restructuring Charges”). For purposes of this Agreement, Fixed Charges shall exclude any charges in respect of the fees and expenses of legal counsel of the Agents and Lenders and the Agents’ Financial Advisor (as defined below). For the period commencing March 1, 2007 (the “Closing Date” for purposes of this Agreement only) and ending upon an Event of Termination, Borrowers and Lenders hereby amend Sections 8.2 of the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) to provide as follows: (A) Borrowers shall maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of the last day of each calendar month ending after the Closing Date of not less than (i) .85:1 for each month ending after the Closing Date through June 30, 2007; (ii) .75:1 for each month during the period July 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007; and (iii) .85:1 for each month during the period October 1, 2007 through an Event of Termination (if such Event of Termination occurs after October 1, 2007). For the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending upon an Event of Termination, Borrowers and Lenders hereby amend Sections 8.4 of the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement (Leverage Ratio) to provide as follows: (B) Borrowers shall maintain a Leverage Ratio at the end of each month of not more than (i) 3.5:1 for each month after the Closing Date through June 30, 2007; (ii) 3.75:1 for each month after July 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007; and (iii) 3.5:1 for each month after October 1, 2007 through an Event of Termination (if such Event of Termination occurs after October 1, 2007). Measurement of the EBITDA component of the Leverage Ratio will be on a cumulative annualized basis beginning March 1, 2007 (consistent with what has previously been provided to the Agents’ Financial Advisor). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, both the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Leverage Ratio described above shall immediately revert, as of the Effective Date, to the ratios set forth in the Documents (as they existed prior to the amendments outlined in this Agreement).
     13. Financial Measurements/I-Banker. Borrowers agree to provide the following measurements to the Agents and Lenders during the Forbearance Period:
      a.   Borrowers shall prepare a 13-week projection (in the form that has been previously provided since mid-February 2007) (the “Budget”). Every week, Borrowers will report actual results against the Budget and provide such information to Agents, Lenders and Agents’ Financial Advisor on or prior to the Status Call (as defined below). Borrowers

-6-


 

      will also roll the Budget forward every two weeks to continue to project 13 weeks ahead. Borrowers agree to give Agents, Lenders and Agents’ Financial Advisor notice when they become aware of any customer intent to terminate or materially reduce any business. Borrowers will also provide an estimate of the impact of such event on monthly projections to the Agents’ Financial Advisor.
 
      b.   Borrowers have provided to Agents’ Financial Advisor an updated revenue and EBITDA projection (the “Revenue and EBITDA Projection”). For purposes of compliance with this Agreement, the actual performance shall not be less than the Revenue and EBITDA Projection by more than ten percent (10%), on a cumulative basis from March 1, 2007. Actual results under the Revenue and EBITDA Projection shall be provided to the Agents, Lenders and Agents’ Financial Advisor monthly, twenty days after the end of the prior month, commencing June 20, 2007. For purposes of this Agreement, EBITDA shall exclude Restructuring Charges.
 
      c.   Borrowers shall have delivered to Agents proof of execution of an engagement agreement with W.Y. Campbell, or such other financial advisor and/or investment banker selected by Borrowers and reasonably acceptable to Agents and Lenders (the “I-Banker”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agents and Lenders, by no later than May 31, 2007, for a period no less than the Forbearance Period and, pursuant to the terms of such engagement agreement, the I-Banker shall assist the Borrowers in their efforts to refinance the Obligations or effectuate a sale transaction of assets or stock sufficient to pay in full in cash all Obligations before the expiration of the Forbearance Period. Such I-Banker’s engagement shall outline the steps the I-Banker intends to take and also authorize the I-Banker to speak to Agents and Lenders as set forth in paragraph 14 herein, and to provide materials as provided in paragraph 14 herein by the dates specified. By no later than June 15, 2007, initial marketing materials shall be prepared, distributed to potential interested parties and provided to Agents and Lenders.
     14. Status Calls with Lender. Borrowers also agree that on every other Tuesday, commencing May 22, 2007, Agents, Agents’ Financial Advisor, Lenders, Borrowers (chief financial officer or co-chief executive officer) and I-Banker shall have a phone conference (the “Status Call”), commencing at a time set by agreement among the parties. During such calls, Borrowers and I-Banker shall update Agents, Agents’ Financial Advisor and Lenders as to (i) the Borrowers’ financial and operational status, including updates as to relations with vendors and suppliers, (ii) the occurrence of any litigation (pending or threatened) between Borrowers and any party where the amount in controversy exceeds $1,000,000, (iii) any change in status of any Material Agreements, any material matters or material occurrences (as required pursuant to Sections 10.1, 10.5 and 10.12 of the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement), (iv) and updates as to efforts being undertaken and expressions of interest regarding refinancing proposals or any sale. Borrowers shall not be required to disclose to Agents, Agents’ Financial Advisor or Lenders the identities of any potential refinancing prospects or Buyers.
     15. Agents’ Financial Advisor. Agents have retained Bridge Associates, LLC (“Agents’ Financial Advisor” or “Bridge”) to assist them in evaluating the Borrowers’ financial and operational status and to assist them in connection with any legal proceedings that may arise. Agents have agreed that Borrowers shall be liable for Bridges’ fees of no more than $45,000, total, beginning on the Effective Date of this Agreement and for the months of June and July 2007, and no more than $50,000 for the period August through September 30, 2007. Should the Forbearance Period extend past September 30, 2007, Bridge’s fees shall not be subject to a cap, but will be limited by the terms

-7-


 

of the Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement. Further, should an Event of Termination occur, then Borrowers acknowledge they shall be liable to Agents for all of Bridge’s reasonable fees and expenses, and Agents’ agreement to cap the fees as set forth herein shall not be deemed an admission by anyone that Bridge’s reasonable fees are the amount set forth in theses caps.
     16. Events of Termination. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of termination (each an “Event of Termination”) hereunder, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: (a) a Default or Event of Default under the Documents (other than the Designated Defaults); (b) the failure of Borrowers to comply with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation the failure of any covenant set forth in Paragraphs 11-13 of this Agreement; (c) the termination of the Subordinate Debt Forbearance Agreement; (d) the payment of any amount on account of the Subordinate Debt Issue or other Subordinated Debt; (e) the initiation of any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding by or against one or both Borrowers; (f) the claim, initiation or commencement of any claim or proceeding in favor of, through or by Borrowers against any Agent or Lender including any that alleges that the release of Agents and Lenders set forth herein or in any of the other Documents is invalid or unenforceable. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Termination, Agents may, at their option and with written notice to Borrowers, exercise any and all rights and remedies pursuant to the Documents.
     17. Release of Lenders. By execution of this Agreement, Borrowers acknowledge and confirm that they do not have any offsets, defenses or claims whatsoever against Agents, Lenders, or any of Agents or Lenders’ subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, attorneys, predecessors, successors or assigns whether asserted or unasserted as of the Effective Date. To the extent that such offsets, defenses or claims may exist, Borrowers for each of themselves and their successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, employees, agents, heirs and executors, as applicable (collectively, “Releasors”), jointly and severally, knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally release and forever discharge Agents, Lenders, their subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, attorneys, predecessors, successors and assigns, both present and former (individually, a “Releasee” and collectively, the “Releasees”) of and from any and all manner of actions, causes of action, suits, debts, controversies, torts, damages, judgments, executions, claims and demands whatsoever, including, without limitation, any so-called “lender liability” claims or defenses which it has, asserted or unasserted, in law or in equity, which Releasors ever had or now have against the Releasees, including, without limitation, any presently existing claim or defense whether or not presently suspected, contemplated or anticipated based upon, or in any manner connected with (i) any transaction, event circumstance, action, omission, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, or was taken or permitted prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Obligations, the Documents, including the Former Forbearance Agreement, or the administration thereof (ii) any discussions, commitments, negotiations, conversations or communications, whether oral or evidenced by a writing of any sort prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Obligations, or (iii) any thing or matter related to any of the foregoing prior to the execution of this Agreement. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the inclusion of this paragraph in this Agreement and the execution of this Agreement by the Agents and Lenders does not constitute an acknowledgment or admission by the Agents or Lenders of liability for any matter, or a precedent upon which any liability may be asserted. If Borrowers assert or commence any claim, counter-claim, demand, obligation, liability or cause of action in derogation of the foregoing release or challenges the enforceability of the foregoing release (in each case, a “Violation”), then the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such Violation, all attorneys’ fees and expenses (including in-house and outside counsels’) incurred by such Releasee as a result of such

-8-


 

Violation. Specifically covered by this Release are the claims or defenses arising on account of the allegations Borrowers made prior to their execution of this Agreement that Agents or Lenders improperly charged the Default Rate for any period, incorrectly asserted any covenant violation by Borrowers (including those identified in Paragraph C of the Recitals in this Agreement), or that Borrowers executed any of the Default Letters while under duress or without the advice of legal counsel.
     18. No Waiver by Agents or Lenders. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall extend to or affect in any way any of the Obligations or any of the rights of Agents or Lenders and remedies of Agents or Lenders arising under the Documents. Agents and Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived any or all of such rights or remedies with respect to any default or event or condition which, with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become a Default or Event of Default under the Documents and which upon Borrowers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement might otherwise exist or which might hereafter occur. The failure of Agents or Lenders at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by Borrowers of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement or in the Documents shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Agents or Lenders at any time or times thereafter to demand strict performance thereof; and, no rights of Agents or Lenders hereunder shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of Agents, Lenders, or either of their agents, officers or employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing signed by an authorized officer of each of the Agents and Lenders and directed to such Person specifying such waiver. No waiver by Agents or Lenders of any of their rights shall operate as a waiver of any other of their rights or any of their rights on a future occasion at any time and from time to time. All terms and conditions of the Documents remain in full force and effect except to the extent specifically modified by this Agreement.
     19. Acknowledgment/Waiver of Legal Counsel; Drafting of Agreement. Borrowers represent and warrant that: (a) they are represented by legal counsel of their choice, are fully aware of the terms contained in this Agreement and have voluntarily and without coercion or duress of any kind, entered into this Agreement and the documents executed in connection with this Agreement; or (b) they have knowingly and intentionally waived their right to have legal counsel of their choice review and represent them with respect to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement. Borrowers further represent and warrant and acknowledge and agree that they have participated in the drafting of this Agreement.
     20. Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries; Binding Affect. This Agreement constitutes the entire and final agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no agreements, understandings, warranties or representations among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof except as set forth herein. This Agreement will inure to the benefit and bind the respective heirs, administrators, executors, representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the Documents.
     21. Governing Law. This Agreement is executed and delivered in the State of New York (the “State”) and it is the desire and intention of the parties that it be in all respects interpreted according to the laws of the State, without reference to its conflicts of law principles. Borrowers specifically and irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts of the State with respect to all matters concerning this Agreement or the Documents or the enforcement of any of the foregoing. The parties hereto agree that the execution and performance of this Agreement

-9-


 

shall have a State situs and accordingly, consent to personal jurisdiction in the State.
     22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original document, but all of which will constitute a single document. This document will not be binding on or constitute evidence of a contract between the parties until such time as a counterpart of this document has been executed by each of the parties and a copy thereof delivered to each party under this Agreement.
     23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE DOCUMENTS OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR PERTAINING OR RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF AGENTS OR LENDERS AND/OR BORROWERS WITH RESPECT TO THE DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE DOCUMENTS OR THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY PARTIES’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE DOCUMENTS OR THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER SUCH EXERCISE WAS CORRECT OR IN ERROR) OR OTHERWISE, OR THE CONDUCT OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES HERETO, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. BORROWERS AGREE THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED FOR AGREEMENT OF BORROWERS IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY AS AN INDUCEMENT OF AGENTS OR LENDERS TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY WHERESOVER BETWEEN BORROWERS AND AGENTS OR ANY LENDER SHALL INSTEAD BY TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY. BORROWERS CERTIFY THAT NEITHER THE AGENTS NOR LENDERS NOR ANY OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR COUNSEL HAVE REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE AGENTS AND LENDERS WOULD NOT IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH SUIT, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
     24. Agreement Controls. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
