On April 22, 2009, Dayton Superior Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Senior Secured Priming and Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Revolving Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) with General Electric Capital Corporation, as letter of credit issuer, swingline lender and lender and as collateral agent and administrative agent.

The Company entered into the DIP Credit Agreement in connection with a voluntary filing for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) made on April 19, 2009 as described in Item 1.03 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2009. On April 19, 2009, the Company filed a motion seeking approval of the DIP Credit Agreement with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On April 21, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court granted interim approval of the DIP Credit Agreement (the “Interim Order”). Based on such interim approval, the Company entered into the DIP Credit Agreement on April 22, 2009, subject to final approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

The DIP Credit Agreement provides for initial aggregate borrowings of up to $165 million which amount includes a roll-up of outstanding obligations under the Company’s existing Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of March 3, 2008 (as amended and modified to date, the “Prior Credit Agreement”) between the Company and General Electric Capital Corporation, as letter of credit issuer, swingline lender and lender and as collateral agent and administrative agent. Actual borrowings by the Company are subject to a block on availability and a borrowing base, a formula based on certain eligible inventory and eligible receivables of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, less $15 million and certain reserves.

The use of proceeds under the DIP Credit Agreement are limited to refinancing the Prior Credit Agreement, working capital and other general corporate purposes consistent with a budget (including period updates thereto) that the Company presented to the administrative agent, including payment of costs and expenses related to the administration of the bankruptcy proceedings and payment of other expenses as approved by the Bankruptcy Court (the “Budget”).

The principal amount outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon, will be due and payable in full at maturity, which is the earlier of April 22, 2010 and confirmation of a plan of reorganization in the bankruptcy proceedings, subject to provisions in the DIP Credit Agreement providing for an earlier maturity date under certain circumstances.

Borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates based on the prime rate, LIBOR or the banker’s acceptance rate, depending on the type of borrowing, plus 12.00% per annum in the case of any revolving loan or swingline loan that is a LIBOR rate loan and 11.00% per annum in the case of any revolving loan or swingline loan that is a base rate loan. Interest and fees are payable monthly. If the Company defaults on its obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement, the default rate of interest will be the rate otherwise in effect plus 2.00% per annum.

In addition to interest, the Company is required to pay an unused commitment fee of 1.00% per annum in respect of the unutilized commitments under the DIP Credit Agreement. An upfront fee of 1.00% of the aggregate amount of commitments under the DIP Credit Agreement was payable to the lender on April 22, 2009. The Company must also pay funding fees, letter of credit fees and certain agency fees.

All obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement are secured, subject to certain limited exceptions, by substantially all of the assets of the Company according to the lien priorities set forth in the Interim Order, including a super-priority administrative expense claim in the bankruptcy proceedings with respect to certain of the collateral.

The DIP Credit Agreement contains various representations and warranties, as well as covenants from the Company and events of default that are customary for transactions of this nature. The DIP Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants relating to minimum levels of EBITDA and compliance with the Budget. In addition, the DIP Credit Agreement includes covenants related to the progress of the bankruptcy proceedings, including actions relating to the filing of a plan of reorganization on or before October 21, 2009.

On April 22, 2009, the Company entered into the DIP Credit Agreement, as described in Item 1.01 above. The DIP Credit Agreement succeeds the Prior Credit Agreement as of that date.

The Prior Credit Agreement provided for aggregate borrowings of up to $150 million. The borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement were secured primarily by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower. Borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement were available for working capital, letters of credit, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement bore interest at variable rates based on the LIBOR or the banker’s acceptance rate, depending on the type of borrowing, plus an additional margin based on the type of borrowing and the amount of available borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement.

Additional information with respect to the Prior Credit Agreement is included in Item 1.01 above, and a summary of the Prior Credit Agreement was set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2008. Summaries of subsequent amendments to the Prior Credit Agreement are set forth in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2009, March 24, 2009, April 9, 2009 and April 20, 2009.

On April 20, 2009, the Company received a staff determination notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that, in accordance with Listing Rules 5100, 5110(b), and IM-5100-1, the Company’s common stock will be suspended from trading at the opening of business on April 29, 2009 as a result of the Company’s filing of a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, which is described in Item 1.03 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2009.
