All capitalized terms used in this Consent and not otherwise defined in this Consent shall have the same meanings herein as in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.
     WHEREAS, Neenah (a) prior to the date hereof, formed Neenah Welding, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of Neenah and (b) on the date hereof, changed the name of Neenah Welding, Inc. to Morgan’s Welding , Inc. (“Morgan’s Welding”);
     WHEREAS, on the date hereof, Morgan’s Welding will purchase substantially all of the assets of REMWC, Inc. (formerly known as Morgan’s Welding, Inc.), a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Seller”), for a total price of $3,850,000 (subject to adjustment pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement referenced herein) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement of even date herewith among Neenah Welding (now known as Morgan’s Welding), the Seller, and Robert E. Morgan, a final copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Acquisition”); and
     WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested that Agent and Lenders (i) consent to the Acquisition and (ii) join Neenah Welding to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as a Borrower thereunder. Subject to each of the terms and conditions set forth herein, Agent and Lenders have agreed to the requests described above.

     (b) Morgan’s Welding hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for all of Obligations, together with all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Agent or any Lender in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, all as more fully specified in the Guaranty Agreement.
     (c) In order to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, Morgan’s Welding hereby grants to Agent for itself and for the benefit of each Lender a security interest in all right, title and interest of Morgan’s Welding in all of the Collateral (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, and including without limitation all Accounts, Certificated Securities, Chattel Paper, Computer Hardware and Software, Contract Rights, Deposit Accounts, Documents, Equipment, Financial Assets, Fixtures, General Intangibles, Goods, Instruments, Intellectual Property, Inventory, Investment Property, Money, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Security Entitlements, Supporting Obligations and all Proceeds of the foregoing, that is now or hereafter owned by Morgan’s Welding or in which Morgan’s Welding otherwise has an interest.

-3-


 

defenses, personal or otherwise, or rights of setoff whatsoever with respect to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.

Neenah Enterprises, Inc. and Neenah Foundry Company Announce Acquisition of Morgan’s Welding, Inc.
Neenah, WI — Monday, August 11, 2008
Neenah Enterprises, Inc. and Neenah Foundry Company (collectively, the “Company”) announced today that a newly-created wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has purchased substantially all of the business and assets of Morgan’s Welding, Inc., a steel fabricator located in Pennsylvania, for a cash purchase price of $3.85 million plus the assumption of approximately $0.3 million of current liabilities, subject to a working capital adjustment. Upon closing, the new subsidiary changed its name to Morgan’s Welding, Inc.
The purchase was financed through borrowings under the Company’s existing credit facility. The Company expects this acquisition to significantly improve its ability to service customers in the municipal markets in the Northeastern United States by allowing it to package fabricated steel gratings with its iron casting products, thus offering a more complete array of street drainage products to the marketplace. Additionally, the Company will stage a distribution facility at the Pennsylvania location enabling it to further extend product availability into Northeastern markets.
