REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS. (A) Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders agree, for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers from time to time, as requested by Borrowers in accordance with the terms of SECTION 2.3 hereof, up to a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding equal to the Borrowing Base at such time, as evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to make Advances in excess of such Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of the DIP Facility Limit and (ii) each Borrowing shall be made ratably by all Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages. It is expressly understood and agreed that Agent may use the Borrowing Base as a maximum ceiling on Revolving Credit Loans outstanding to Borrowers at any time. If the unpaid balance of the Revolving Credit Loans should for any reason exceed the Borrowing Base or any other limitation set forth in this Agreement, such Revolving Credit Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and entitled to all the benefits thereof. In no event shall Borrowers be authorized to request a Loan at any time that there exists a Default or an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 2.1(A), Borrowers and Lenders agree that at any time and at all times Agent shall have the right to establish and/or eliminate reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent shall in its reasonable credit judgment deem necessary or appropriate, against the amount of Revolving Credit Loans which Borrowers may otherwise request under this SECTION 2.1(A), including, without limitation, with respect to (i) price adjustments, damages, unearned discounts, returned products or other matters for which credit memoranda are issued in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business; (ii) shrinkage and obsolescence of Inventory; (iii) slow moving Inventory; (iv) other sums chargeable against Borrowers' Loan Account as Revolving Credit Loans under any section of this Agreement; (v) tax liabilities; and (vi) such other matters, events, conditions or contingencies as to which Agent, in its reasonable credit judgment, determines reserves should be established from time to time hereunder. In addition to the foregoing, at any time, Lenders shall have the right to establish and/or eliminate reserves against the amount of Revolving Credit Loans for accrued and unpaid royalty payments based on the amount of such accrued and unpaid payments which is shown on Borrower's financial statements at such time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no reserve shall be created for accrued and unpaid royalty payments pursuant to license agreements entered into by a Borrower with Disney or any affiliate of Disney. Upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, no reserves shall be eliminated by Agent without the consent of the Lenders. (B) The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used solely (i) to pay off in full all the Pre-Petition Debt, the intent of the parties hereto being that the proceeds of the initial Revolving Credit Loan under this Agreement will be used to pay off in full all the Pre-Petition Debt, (ii) to purchase Eligible Inventory, and (iii) may be used to pay for (a) those post-petition operating expenses of the Borrowers, inclusive of the payment of interest and other fees and expenses when due as to the Pre-Petition Debt and Obligations as required by this Agreement, incurred in the ordinary course of business, (b) other expenditures as may be authorized and approved by an order of the Court as reasonable, necessary costs and expenses of preserving or disposing of the properties and interests in property held by the Borrowers and in administering their respective Estates (other than fees and disbursements described in CLAUSE (III)(C) of this SECTION 2.1(B) which are indicated to be improper uses of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans), and (c) those fees and disbursements which are allowed by the Court and paid by a Borrower to such Borrower's professionals and any fees and disbursements paid to the Agent and Lenders and their professionals and agents in accordance with this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that no amounts shall be paid pursuant to this SECTION 2.1(B)(III)(C) for fees and disbursements incurred by a Borrower or for which a Borrower may be liable in connection with any proceeding commenced, including, without limitation, any motion or other pleading filed to contest (1) the attachment, perfection or priority of the Liens created by the Pre-Petition Loan Documents, (2) the validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Pre-Petition Loan Documents or any of the DIP Financing Documents, (3) the amount of the Obligations or Pre-Petition Debt, or (4) any other rights or interests of the Agent or Lenders under the DIP Financing Documents other than prechallenge investigative fees and expenses for work by or on behalf of an official committee appointed in a Chapter 11 Case to the extent such investigative work takes place prior to 60 days after the appointment of such committee. Borrowers agree that the pre-Petition Liens of Agent and Lenders shall continue or be reinstated to the extent provided for in the DIP Orders. 2.2. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION. (A) Each Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement, Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on a consolidated basis to the same extent possible if they were merged into a single corporate entity; (ii) it has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of Agent and Lenders hereunder and a desire of the Borrowers that each Borrower execute and deliver to Agent and Lenders this Agreement; and (iv) Borrowers have requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the advances contemplated by this Agreement. (B) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to Agent and Lenders for the full and prompt payment of the Obligations and the performance by each Borrower of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof; (ii) agrees to fully and promptly perform all of its obligations hereunder with respect to each advance of credit hereunder as if such advance had been made directly to it; (iii) agrees as a primary obligation to indemnify Agent and Lenders on demand for and against any loss incurred by Agent or Lenders as a result of any of the Obligations of any Borrower being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to Agent or any Lender or any Person, the amount of such loss being the amount which Agent or such Lender would otherwise have been entitled to recover from Borrower; (iv) agrees that a Loan to one Borrower's account is a Loan to all the Borrowers; and (v) that until notice to the contrary is given to Agent, Brazos is appointed by the Borrowers to act as Agent for and on behalf of all the Borrowers in connection with the DIP facility, including, without limitation, in connection with the Loans. (C) It is the intent of each Borrower that the indebtedness, obligations and liability hereunder of no one of them be subject to challenge on any basis. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the liability of each Borrower under this SECTION 2.2, together with all of its other liabilities to all Persons as of the date hereof and as of any other date on which a transfer is deemed to occur by virtue of this Agreement, calculated in amount sufficient to pay its probable net liabilities on its existing Indebtedness as the same become absolute and matured ("DATED LIABILITIES") is, and is to be, less than the amount of the aggregate of a fair valuation of its Property as of such corresponding date ("DATED ASSETS"). To this end, each Borrower under this SECTION 2.2 (i) grants to and recognizes in each other Borrower, ratably, rights of subrogation and contribution in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Assets of such Borrower, but for the aggregate of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Liabilities of such Borrower or, as the case may be, (ii) acknowledges receipt of and recognizes its right to subrogation and contribution ratably from the other Borrower in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Liabilities of such Borrower, but for the aggregate of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Assets of such Borrower under this SECTION 2.2; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each Borrower's rights of subrogation and contribution are subordinated in all respects to the full, final and indefeasible payment of the Obligations. In recognizing the value of the Dated Assets and the Dated Liabilities, it is understood that Borrowers will recognize, to at least the same extent of their aggregate recognition of liabilities hereunder, their rights to subrogation and contribution hereunder. It is a material objective of this SECTION 2.2 that each Borrower recognizes rights to subrogation and contribution rather than be deemed to be insolvent (or in contemplation thereof) by reason of any arbitrary interpretation of its joint and several obligations hereunder. 2.3. MANNER OF BORROWING REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS. Borrowings under the credit facility established pursuant to SECTION 2.1 hereof shall be as follows: (A) A request for a Revolving Credit Loan shall be made, or shall be deemed to be made, in the following manner: (i) Borrowers may give Agent notice of their intention to borrow, in which notice Borrowers shall specify the amount of the proposed borrowing and the proposed borrowing date; (ii) the becoming due of any amount required to be paid under this Agreement or the Notes as interest shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request for a Revolving Credit Loan on the due date in the amount required to pay such interest; (iii) the becoming due of any amount required to be paid under the Notes as principal shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request for a Revolving Credit Loan on the due date for the amount required to pay such principal; (iv) any payment made by Agent pursuant to a Letter of Credit issued as part of the DIP Facility (including each Rollover Letter of Credit) issued by Agent or issued by Bank pursuant to the Fleet Bank Risk Participation Agreement or any other LC Risk Participation Agreement which is not immediately reimbursed by Borrowers (each such reimbursed payment made by Agent being referred to individually as an "LC PAYMENT") shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request for a Revolving Credit Loan on the date such LC Payment was made; and (v) the becoming due of any other Obligations shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request for a Revolving Credit Loan on the due date in the amount then so due. (B) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan requested, or deemed to be requested, pursuant to this SECTION 2.3 as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan requested under SECTION 2.3(A)(I) shall be disbursed by Agent in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, in the case of the initial borrowing, in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrowers, and in the case of each subsequent borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrower and Agent from time to time; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan requested under SECTION 2.3(A)(II), (III) OR (IV) shall be disbursed by Agent by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation. (C) SETTLEMENT. On or about 10:00 A.M. (Dallas, Texas time) on Friday of each week during the term of this Agreement (or, if any such Friday is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day), Agent shall notify each Lender by telephone (confirmed immediately by facsimile or cable), facsimile or cable of (i) the terms of Borrowers' Borrowings at the time of such notice and the amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of such Borrowings, and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Letters of Credit issued in connection with this Agreement (including all Rollover Letters of Credit) and outstanding at the end of such week, the aggregate amount of any LC Payments made by Agent, such Lender's participation therein and the total amount of commissions paid to the Lenders with respect thereto. Contemporaneously with the giving of such notice, Agent shall deliver to each Lender copies of (i) any Letters of Credit which were issued during such week, and (ii) any LC Risk Participation Agreements which were executed during such week. Each Lender shall, before 2:00 P.M. (Dallas, Texas time) on the day of such notice, deposit with Agent the amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of such Borrowings and/or LC Payments. In the event of any failure by a Lender to make an Advance required hereunder, the other Lenders may (but shall not be required to) purchase (on a pro rata basis, according to their respective Revolving Credit Percentages) such Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of such Borrowings and/or LC Payments. Upon the failure of a Lender to make an Advance required to be made by it hereunder, Agent shall use good faith efforts to obtain one or more banks, acceptable to the Lenders, to replace such Lender, but neither Agent nor any other Lender shall have any liability or obligation whatsoever as a result of the failure to obtain a replacement for such Lender. Lenders hereby agree with Borrowers and Agent, and hereby direct Agent, that Agent may assume that each notified Lender will make such Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of the Borrowings and/or LC Payments available to Agent in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 2.3(C) and Agent shall, in reliance upon such assumption, make available a corresponding amount to or on behalf of Borrowers on the requested date of each Borrowing or make the LC Payment subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If and to the extent any Lender shall not make its Revolving Credit Percentage of any Borrowing or LC Payment, Borrowers agree to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for its Revolving Credit Percentage of any Borrowing or LC Payment hereunder, and in no event shall Agent or any Lender (including Agent in its capacity as a Lender) bear any financial risk for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance required hereunder. 2.4. LETTERS OF CREDIT, LC RISK PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS. If requested to do so by a Borrower and subject to the terms of this Agreement and any documents executed in connection with any Letter of Credit, the Fleet Bank Risk Participation Agreement, or any other LC Risk Participation Agreement, Agent shall issue its, or cause Bank to issue Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrower or execute an LC Risk Participation Agreement, PROVIDED THAT no Event of Default then exists, and further provided that the aggregate face amount of all such Letters of Credit (including all Rollover Letters of Credit) may at no time exceed $7,500,000.00. The aggregate face amount of all standby Letters of Credit (including any standby Rollover Letters of Credit) issued by Agent and issued by Bank at any time shall not exceed $1,500,000.00. No standby Letter of Credit will contain an automatic renewal provision. No Letter of Credit issued by Agent or issued by Bank and covered by an LC Risk Participation Agreement may have an expiry date that is after the Maturity Date. Further, no documentary Letter of Credit issued by Agent or Bank shall have a term exceeding 180 days, and no standby Letter of Credit issued by Agent or Bank shall have a term exceeding one year. A documentary Letter of Credit may only be issued by Agent or Bank if such documentary Letter of Credit is issued in connection with the purchase of inventory by such Borrower. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder by Agent and without further action on the part of the Agent or the Lenders, each Lender hereby accepts from the Agent an undivided participation (which participation shall be nonrecourse to the Agent) in such Letter of Credit and in each LC Payment equal to such Lender's pro rata (based on its Revolving Credit Percentage) share of such LC Payment under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit and, in addition, without further action on the part of the Agent or the Lenders, each Lender agrees to purchase, and Agent agrees to sell, an undivided participation equal to such Lender's pro rata (based on its Revolving Credit Percentage) share, in any LC Payment made pursuant to the Fleet Bank Risk Participation Agreement or any other LC Risk Participation Agreement. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally assumes, as primary obligor and not as a surety, and agrees to pay and discharge, and to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from liability in respect of such Lender's pro rata share of the amount of any LC Payment. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in either (x) each Letter of Credit issued by Agent or (y) each LC Payment made by Agent and its obligation to make the payments specified herein, and the right of the Agent to receive the same, in the manner specified herein, are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 2.5. ALL LOANS TO CONSTITUTE ONE OBLIGATION. All Loans shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers, and shall be secured by Agent's security interest, for the benefit of Lenders, in and Lien upon all of the Collateral, and by all other security interests and Liens now or at any time or times hereafter granted by Borrower to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders. 2.6. LOAN ACCOUNT. Agent shall enter all Loans as debits to the Loan Account and shall also record in the Loan Account all payments made by Borrowers on the Loans and all proceeds of Collateral which are finally paid to Lenders, and may record therein, in accordance with customary accounting practice, all charges and expenses properly chargeable to Borrowers hereunder. 2.7. SHARING OF SETOFFS. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, including, but not limited to, a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan made by it or in respect of a participation held by it in a Letter of Credit or an LC Payment as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of the Loans made by it plus the participations held by it in Letters of Credit and LC Payments shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans made by any other Lender plus outstanding participations held by such other Lender in Letters of Credit and LC Payments, it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased from such other Lender a participation in the Loans made by such other Lender and outstanding participations held by such Lender in Letters of Credit and LC Payments, so that (a) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans made by it plus the outstanding participations held by it in Letters of Credit and LC Payments shall be in the same proportion to (b) the sum of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans plus the aggregate participations held by all Lenders in Letters of Credit and LC Payments then outstanding as (i) the sum of the principal amount of the Loans and participations in the Loans held by it plus participations held by it in the Letters of Credit and LC Payments prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim was to (ii) the sum of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans outstanding plus the aggregate participations held by all Lenders in the Letters of Credit and LC Payments prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this SECTION 2.7 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustments restored without interest. Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or another Lender's participating interest in any Letters of Credit and LC Payments deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by such Borrower to such Lender under the DIP Financing Documents as fully as if such Lender held a Loan or direct participation in a Letter of Credit or LC Payment in the amount of such participation. SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES, TERM AND REPAYMENT 3.1. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES. (A) INTEREST. Outstanding principal on the Loans shall bear interest, calculated daily (computed on the actual days elapsed over a year of 360 days), at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to one and one-half percent (1.50%) above the Base Rate (the "APPLICABLE ANNUAL RATE"). The Applicable Annual Rate shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Base Rate, with such adjustments to be effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate becomes effective. The Base Rate in effect on the date hereof shall be the Base Rate effective as of the opening of business on the date hereof, but if this Agreement is executed on a day that is not a Business Day, the Base Rate in effect on the date hereof shall be the Base Rate effective as of the opening of business on the last Business Day immediately preceding the date hereof. For the purpose of computing interest, all items of payment received by Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall be applied by Agent (subject to final payment of all drafts and other items received in form other than immediately available funds) against the Obligations on the second Business Day after receipt. The determination of when a payment is received by Agent will be made in accordance with SECTION 3.5. (B) DEFAULT RATE OF INTEREST. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the principal amount of the Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest, calculated daily (computed on the actual days elapsed over a year of 360 days), at 2.00% above the Applicable Annual Rate or other applicable rate of interest (a "DEFAULT RATE"). (C) MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if at any time the amount of interest computed as provided in the DIP Financing Documents would exceed the amount of such interest computed upon the basis of the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable state or federal law in effect from time to time hereafter (the "MAXIMUM LEGAL RATE"), the interest payable under this Agreement shall be computed upon the basis of the Maximum Legal Rate, but any subsequent reduction in the Applicable Annual Rate, Default Rate or other rate, as applicable, shall not reduce such interest thereafter payable hereunder below the amount computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal Rate until the aggregate amount of such interest accrued and payable under this Agreement equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if such interest had been at all times computed solely as provided in the DIP Financing Documents. To the extent that any of the optional interest rate ceilings provided for in Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code (Vernon's Texas Code Annotated), as amended from time to time (as amended, the "TEXAS FINANCE CODE") may be applicable to any Loans or any extensions of credit made pursuant to this Agreement for the purpose of determining the maximum allowable interest hereunder pursuant to the Texas Finance Code, the applicable "weekly ceiling" (as such term is defined in Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code) from time to time in effect shall be used to the extent that it is so available. If the applicable state or federal law is amended in the future to allow a greater rate of interest to be charged under this Agreement than is presently allowed by applicable state or federal law, then the limitation of interest hereunder shall be increased to the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable state or federal law as amended, which increase shall be effective hereunder on the effective date of such amendment, and all interest charges owing to Lenders by reason thereof shall be payable upon demand. (D) EXCESS INTEREST. No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement between a Borrower, Agent and/or any Lender, or default of a Borrower, or the exercise by Agent or Lenders of the right to accelerate the payment of the maturity of principal and interest, or to exercise any option whatsoever contained in this Agreement or any other DIP Financing Document, or the arising of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle Agent or any Lender to contract for, charge, or receive, in any event, interest exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate. In no event shall any Borrower be obligated to pay interest exceeding such Maximum Legal Rate and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel such Borrower to pay a rate of interest exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate, shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of interest over such Maximum Legal Rate. In the event any interest is contracted for, charged or received in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate ("EXCESS"), each Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such contract, charge, or receipt shall be the result of an accident and BONA FIDE error, and that any Excess received by Agent and/or any Lender shall be applied, first, to reduce the principal then unpaid hereunder; second, to reduce the other Obligations; and third, returned to such Borrower, it being the intention of the parties hereto not to enter at any time into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. Each Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the Base Rate and the Maximum Legal Rate, such a result could inadvertently occur. By the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower covenants that the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by each Borrower of such Excess. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by Agent and/or Lender, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by Agent and/or Lender in connection with the DIP Financing Documents shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts during the entire term of this Agreement and the Loans. (E) INCORPORATION BY THIS REFERENCE. The provisions of SECTIONS 3.1(C) AND 3.1(D) shall be deemed to be incorporated into every document or communication relating to the Obligations which sets forth or prescribes any account, right or claim or alleged account, right or claim of Agent and/or any Lender with respect to such Borrower (or any other obligor in respect of Obligations), whether or not any provision of SECTION 3.1 is referred to therein. All such documents and communications and all figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of the Obligations and obligations of any Borrower (or other obligor) asserted by Agent and/or any Lender thereunder, be automatically re-computed by such Borrower or obligor, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by SECTION 3.1(D). (F) CAPITAL ADEQUACY CHARGE. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Agent or any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or governmental authority, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Agent or any Lenders' capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Agent's and each Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent or such Lender, in its sole discretion, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Agent or such Lender to Borrowers of a written demand therefor, the Borrower shall pay to Agent or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such reduction. A certificate of Agent or any Lender claiming entitlement to payment as set forth above shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate shall set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such payment, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to Agent or such Lender, and the method by which such amounts were determined. In determining such amount, Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method. (G) LETTER OF CREDIT; LC FEES. As additional consideration for Agent's issuing its or causing Bank to issue its Letters of Credit for a Borrower's account or for entering into LC Risk Participation Agreements at a Borrower's request pursuant to SECTION 2.4 hereof, each Borrower agrees to pay Agent, for the account of Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages, a fee equal to (i) two percent (2.00%) per annum of the face amount of each standby Letter of Credit issued by Agent or Bank for the account of a Borrower, which fee shall be deemed fully earned upon issuance of each such standby Letter of Credit, and shall be due and payable upon the issuance of each such standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) one and one-half percent (1.50%) per annum of the face amount of each documentary Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower by Agent or Bank or covered by an LC Risk Participation Agreement, which fee shall be deemed fully earned upon issuance of each such documentary Letter of Credit and shall be due and payable upon issuance of each such documentary Letter of Credit. Other fees and other charges relevant to standby Letters of Credit and documentary Letters of Credit are set forth in EXHIBIT T attached hereto. No fee payable by Borrowers under this SECTION 3.1(G) or as set forth on EXHIBIT T attached hereto shall be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. (H) CLOSING FEE. Each Borrower agrees to pay to Agent on the Closing Date, for the account of Lenders (Lenders to determine between themselves the portion of such fee to which each Lender is entitled), an amount equal to $625,000.00, which fee shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable as of the Closing Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, there shall be credited against the amount of the closing fee otherwise payable on the Closing Date (i) the portion of the $100,000.00 fee actually received by Lenders pursuant to SECTION 3.05 of that certain Amendment to Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated November 30, 1998, executed by Brazos, Morning Sun, Agent and Lenders ("FOURTH AMENDMENT TO PRE-PETITION LOAN AGREEMENT"), and (ii) the portion of the second $50,000.00 installment of the fee actually received by Lenders pursuant to SECTION 2.03 of that certain Fifth Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated December 23, 1998, executed by Brazos, Morning Sun, Agent and Lenders ("FIFTH AMENDMENT TO PRE-PETITION LOAN AGREEMENT"). The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that if by the Closing Date Borrowers have not paid the second $50,000.00 installment of the fee provided for in SECTION 2.03 of the Fifth Amendment to Pre-Petition Loan Agreement, Borrowers shall pay on the Closing Date under this SECTION 3.1(H) an amount equal to $525,000.00 (which reflects the $100,000.00 credit for the fee paid by Brazos and Morning Sun pursuant to SECTION 3.05 of the Fourth Amendment to Pre-Petition Loan Agreement), and upon receipt of such $525,000.00 payment, Agent and Lenders will waive the payment of the second $50,000.00 installment of the fee provided for in SECTION 2.03 of the Fifth Amendment to Pre-Petition Loan Agreement. After receipt of the closing fee, Agent shall pay to Boston the portion of such fee to which Boston is entitled. (I) UNUSED FACILITY FEE. From the date hereof, each Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages, a monthly unused facility fee, equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days) of the difference between the DIP Facility Limit and the sum of (i) the Average Monthly Loan Balance for the Revolving Credit Loans for such month, PLUS (ii) the average face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including any Rollover Letters of Credit) issued by Agent, PLUS (iii) the average face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including any Rollover Letters of Credit) which are covered by an LC Risk Participation Agreement for such month (the sum of CLAUSES (I), (II) and (III) above being referred to as the "AVERAGE MONTHLY REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS USAGE"), payable in arrears with the first payment being due on February 1, 1999, and continuing regularly thereafter during the term of this Agreement, and upon the termination hereof. In no event, however, shall any charge be payable for any month for which the Average Monthly Revolving Credit Loans Usage was less than the DIP Facility Limit by reason of any Lender's declining to extend Revolving Credit Loans to Borrower in amounts equal to the Borrowing Base, to the extent of such refusal, for any month for which the Average Monthly Revolving Credit Loans Usage was less than the DIP Facility Limit by reason of Agent's determination to reduce applicable advance rates under the Borrowing Base, to the extent of such reduction, or for any month during which or after Agent or Lenders accelerate the maturity or demands payment of the Obligations by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default. 3.2. TERM AND TERMINATION. Subject to Lenders' right to cease making Loans to Borrowers at any time upon or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the DIP Facility shall be in effect for the period of time commencing on the date of entry of the Interim Financing Order and ending on the Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated as herein provided. The foregoing term may be extended by written agreement between Borrowers and Lenders without further notice, hearing or order of the Court. Lenders may terminate the DIP Facility at any time without notice upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and the DIP Facility shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of the Maturity Date, the dismissal of either or both of the Chapter 11 Cases, the conversion of any or all of the Chapter 11 Cases to a case under Chapter 7, the consummation of any Reorganization Plan, the entry for an order approving a sale of all or substantially all of the Collateral, or the appointment of a trustee in any of the Chapter 11 Cases. All of the Obligations shall be forthwith due and payable upon any termination of the DIP Facility. No termination (regardless of cause or procedure) of the DIP Facility shall in any way affect or impair the rights, powers or privileges of Agent and/or any Lender or the obligations, duties, or liabilities of any Borrower or Agent and/or any Lender in any way relating to (i) any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination or (ii) any of the undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties or representations of any Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other DIP Financing Documents. All such undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of each Borrower shall survive such termination and Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other DIP Financing Documents notwithstanding such termination until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, in immediately available funds, and all Letters of Credit have expired or been confirmed by another Person satisfactory to Lenders, in their sole discretion. 3.3. PAYMENTS. Except where evidenced by notes or other instruments issued or made by a Borrower to Agent or any Lender specifically containing payment provisions which are in conflict with this SECTION 3.3 (in which event the conflicting provisions of said notes or other instruments shall govern and control), that portion of the Obligations consisting of: (A) Principal payable on account of Revolving Credit Loans made by Lenders to Borrowers pursuant to SECTION 2.1 of this Agreement shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent, for the account of Lenders, immediately upon the earliest of (i) the receipt by Agent or a Borrower of any proceeds of any of the Collateral, to the extent of said proceeds (except that to the extent Agent elects to apply, and is not prohibited by the DIP Order from applying, any such proceeds to the Pre-Petition Debt), (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which Agent or Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity and payment of such Loans, or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to SECTION 3.2 hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the principal balance of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at any time shall exceed the Borrowing Base at such time, Borrowers shall, on demand, repay the Revolving Credit Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loans by an amount equal to such excess. (B) Interest accrued on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be due and payable to Agent, for the account of Lenders, on the earliest of (i) the first day of each month (for the immediately preceding month), computed through the last calendar day of the preceding month, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which Agent or Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity and payment of the Obligations or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to SECTION 3.2 hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, in Agent's sole discretion, to advance to Borrowers, and to charge to Borrowers' Loan Account hereunder as a Revolving Credit Loan, a sum sufficient each month to pay all interest accrued on the Obligations during the immediately preceding month. (C) Costs, fees and expenses payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable by each Borrower, on demand by Agent, to Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of Lenders, or to any other Person designated by Lenders in writing. Agent will promptly provide Borrowers with written notice detailing any such costs, fees and expenses payable by Borrowers. (D) The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of money, if any, shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent and/or to Lenders as and when provided in the DIP Financing Documents, or, if no provision is made in the DIP Financing Documents for payment of any such Obligations, such Obligations shall be payable on demand. 3.4. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and collections at any time or times hereafter received by Agent or any Lender from or on behalf of such Borrower. Except as may be expressly provided in the DIP Order, each Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections received at any time or times hereafter by Agent or its agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Agent upon any of its books and records, so long as such payments and collections are first applied to the portion of the Obligations then due. If as the result of collections of Accounts as authorized by SECTION 5.4 hereof a credit balance exists in the Loan Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be available to Borrowers at any time or times for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may offset such credit balance against the Obligations upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Payments and collections received by Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, from the Dominion Account or otherwise in Providence, Rhode Island (a) before 2:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on a Business Day shall be deemed received on such Business Day, and (b) after 2:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on a Business Day shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day, in each case for purposes of determining the amount of Revolving Credit Loans available for borrowing hereunder and for purposes of computing interest on the Loans (subject in each case to final payment of all items and collections received in form other than immediately available funds). 3.5. STATEMENTS OF ACCOUNT. Agent will account to Borrowers monthly with a statement of Loans, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and such account rendered by Agent absent manifest error shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers unless Agent is notified by Borrowers in writing to the contrary within sixty (60) days after the date each account is mailed to Borrowers. Such notice shall only be deemed an objection to those items specifically objected to therein. SECTION 4. COLLATERAL: GENERAL TERMS 4.1. SECURITY INTEREST IN COLLATERAL. To secure the prompt payment and performance to Lenders of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of the Property of such Borrower, including without limitation, all of the Property of such Borrower described below, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising, and whether created, acquired or arising prior to or on the Filing Date, and wheresoever located: (A) Accounts; (B) Inventory; (C) all Equipment; (D) all General Intangibles; (E) all Investment Property; (F) all Chattel Paper; (G) all Documents; (H) all monies and other Property of any kind, now or at any time or times hereafter, in the possession of or under the control of Agent or a Lender or a bailee of Agent or a Lender; (I) all accessions to, substitutions for and all replacements, products and cash and non-cash proceeds of (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G) and (H) above, including, without limitation, proceeds of and unearned premiums with respect to insurance policies insuring any of the Collateral; and (J) all books and records (including, without limitation, customer lists, credit files, computer programs, print-outs, and other computer materials and records) of Borrower pertaining to any of (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H) or (I) above. 4.2. REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. The Obligations shall also be secured by all real Property of Borrowers and improvements thereon pursuant to the Mortgages. 4.3. NO LIENS IN AVOIDANCE ACTIONS. The Liens and security interests granted to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 4 and pursuant to any of the other DIP Financing Documents shall not include a Lien against or security interest in any proceeds from any Avoidance Actions. 4.4. PRIORITY OF LIENS; FURTHER ASSURANCES. (A) The Liens granted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other DIP Financing Documents, and the Liens conferred upon Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to the terms of the DIP Orders, shall constitute first priority Liens and security interests in all of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the DIP Orders. (B) Each Borrower shall take such action and execute such instruments and documents as Agent may request from time to time to perfect, continue the perfection of or give notice of perfection of any Liens granted in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to any of the DIP Financing Documents or conferred upon Agent pursuant to the terms of either of the DIP Orders, all at the cost and expense of Borrowers. 4.5. LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. All Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, will at all times be kept by each Borrower at one or more of the business locations set forth in EXHIBIT B or other locations permitted pursuant to SECTION 9.2(M) hereof and shall not, without the prior written approval of Agent, be moved therefrom except, prior to an Event of Default, for (A) sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business; (B) the storage of Inventory at locations within the continental United States other than those shown on EXHIBIT B if (i) Borrowers give Agent written notice of the new storage location prior to storing Inventory at such location, (ii) Agent's security interest, for the benefit of Lenders, in such Inventory is and continues to be a duly perfected, first priority Lien thereon, (iii) neither Borrowers' nor Agent's nor any Lender's right of entry upon the premises where such Inventory is stored, or its right to remove the Inventory therefrom, is in any way restricted, (iv) the owner of such premises agrees with Agent and/or Lenders not to assert any landlord's, bailee's or other Lien in respect of the Inventory for unpaid rent or storage charges, and (v) all negotiable documents and receipts in respect of any Collateral maintained at such premises are promptly delivered to Agent; and (C) temporary transfers of Inventory from a location set forth on EXHIBIT B to another location if done for the limited purpose of additional processing to such Inventory in the ordinary course of a Borrower's business. 4.6. INSURANCE OF COLLATERAL. Each Borrower agrees to maintain and pay for insurance upon all Collateral wherever located, in storage or in transit in vehicles, including goods evidenced by documents, covering casualty, hazard, public liability and such other risks and in such amounts and with a Permitted Insurer to insure Agent's and Lenders' interest in the Collateral. Borrowers shall deliver the originals or certified copies of such policies to Agent with satisfactory endorsements naming Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as loss payee and as mortgagee pursuant to a standard mortgagee clause. Each policy of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than 30 days prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause that the interest of Agent and Lenders shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower or owner of the Property nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. If Borrowers fail to provide and pay for such insurance, Agent may, at Borrowers' expense, procure the same, but shall not be required to do so. Each Borrower agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in any reporting forms to insurance companies. Borrowers will maintain, with Permitted Insurers, insurance with respect to its Properties and business against such casualties and contingencies of such type (including public liability, product liability, larceny, embezzlement, or other criminal misappropriation insurance) and in such amounts as is customary in the business or as otherwise reasonably required by Agent. 4.7. PROTECTION OF COLLATERAL. All insurance expenses and all expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral, any and all excise, property, sales, and use taxes imposed by any state, federal, or local authority on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof shall be borne and paid by Borrowers. If Borrowers fail to promptly pay any portion thereof when due, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, pay the same and charge the Loan Account therefor. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse Agent promptly for any amounts not charged to the Loan Account with interest accruing thereon daily at the Default Rate. All sums so paid or incurred by Agent for any of the foregoing and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, legal expenses, and court costs) which Agent may incur in enforcing or protecting its Lien on or rights and interest in the Collateral or any of its rights or remedies under any Loan Document or in respect of any of the transactions to be had hereunto, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be considered Obligations hereunder secured by all Collateral. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in Agent's or any Lender's actual possession) or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers' sole risk. 4.8.

Borrowers agree that ten days written notice to Borrowers of any public or private sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be reasonable notice thereof, and such sale shall be at such locations as Lender may designate in said notice. Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on Borrowers' premises, without charge therefor, and such sales may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with applicable law. Agent shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of such Collateral, or any part thereof, for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Agent or any Lender may purchase all or any part of such Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the DIP Financing Documents shall be in addition to and cumulative with, and not in lieu of, all of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Agent and Lenders under the Pre-Petition Loan Agreement and all instruments, agreements and documents executed in connection therewith or referred to therein. The failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers, or remedies hereunder or under any of the aforesaid agreements or other documents or security or Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such Liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all Loans and all other Obligations owing or to become owing from Borrowers to Agent and/or any Lender shall have been fully satisfied, and all Liens, rights, powers, and remedies herein provided for are cumulative and none are exclusive. SECTION 12. THE AGENT 12.1. APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other DIP Financing Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. With respect to its DIP Facility Limit, the Advances made by it, and the Note issued to it, Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Agent, in its capacity as a Lender. The Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower and its Affiliates, and any Person which may do business with such Borrower or its Affiliates, all as if Agent were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. 12.2. NOTE HOLDERS. Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with it signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to Agent. 12.3. CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL. Lenders agree that Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel. 12.4. DOCUMENTS. Agent shall not be under a duty to examine or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness or value of any of the DIP Financing Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, and Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective, enforceable and genuine and what they purport to be. 12.5. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF AGENT. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers and the Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by any number of Lenders whose aggregate Revolving Commitment Percentages total at least 51%. Upon any such resignation or removal, Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or Lenders' removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance by any Person of any appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this SECTION 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. 12.6. RESPONSIBILITY OF AGENT. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of Agent under the DIP Financing Documents are only those expressly set forth in the DIP Financing Documents and that Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless Agent has actual knowledge of such fact or has received notice from Borrower or a Lender that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the nature thereof. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with the DIP Financing Documents, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of any of the DIP Financing Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by it to be genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or discretion, or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the premises. Agent shall not be responsible to Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Lender under, this Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any document referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by any Borrower to perform any of its obligations hereunder. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The relationship between Agent and each of the Lenders is only that of agent and principal and has no fiduciary aspects. Nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere contained shall be construed to impose on Agent any duties or responsibilities other than those for which express provision is herein made. In performing its duties and functions hereunder, Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed, and hereby expressly disclaims, any obligation or responsibility toward or any relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Lenders and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. 12.7. NOTICES OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. In the event that Agent shall have acquired actual knowledge of any Event of Default or of an event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. 12.8. REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION. In the event that Agent shall have received any information, notices, or documents of any kind which are not required to be provided to Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Agent shall, upon any Lender's request, use its best efforts to provide copies of the same to such Lender. In addition, contemporaneously with the giving of the settlement notice pursuant to SECTION 2.3(C) hereof, Agent shall deliver to each Lender an analysis of Borrowers' Borrowing Base and availability as of the preceding Business Day, detailed to show Collateral categories and ineligibles. 12.9. INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION. Each of the Lenders severally represents and warrants to Agent that it has made its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers in connection with the making and continuation of its participation in the Loans hereunder and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to such Lender by Agent in connection herewith, and each Lender represents, warrants and undertakes to Agent that it shall continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrowers while the Loans are outstanding or its DIP Facility Limit hereunder is in force. 12.10.INDEMNIFICATION. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers), ratably according to their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the DIP Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent under the DIP Financing Documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. 12.11.BENEFIT OF SECTION 12. The agreements contained in SECTION 12 hereof are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and are not for the benefit of, or to be relied upon by, Borrowers, or any third party. SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS 13.1. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such Borrower's true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) and Agent, or Agent's agent, may, without notice to such Borrower and in either such Borrower's or Agent's name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers: (A) At such time or times hereafter as Agent or said agent may determine, endorse such Borrower's name on any checks, notes, acceptances, drafts, money orders or any other evidence of payment or proceeds of the Collateral which come into the possession of Agent or any Lender or under Agent's or any Lender's control; and (B) At such time or times upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default as Agent or its agent may determine: (i) demand payment of the Accounts from the Account Debtors, enforce payment of the Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise all of such Borrower's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or release any of the Accounts or other Collateral or any legal proceedings brought to collect any of the Accounts or other Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any of the Accounts and other Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as Agent deems advisable; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds relating to any Collateral; (v) prepare, file and sign such Borrower's name to a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor or to any notice of lien, assignment or satisfaction of lien or similar document in connection with any of the Collateral; (vi) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Borrower and to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Agent may designate; (vii) endorse the name of such Borrower upon any of the items of payment or proceeds relating to any Collateral and deposit the same to the account of Lenders on account of the Obligations; (viii) endorse the name of such Borrower upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to the Accounts, Inventory and any other Collateral; (ix) use such Borrower's stationery and sign the name of such Borrower to verifications of the Accounts and notices thereof to Account Debtors; (x) use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the Accounts, Inventory, and any other Collateral and to which such Borrower has access; (xi) make and adjust claims under policies of insurance; and (xii) do all other acts and things necessary, in Agent's determination, to fulfill such Borrower's obligations under this Agreement. 13.2. INDEMNITY. EACH BORROWER HEREBY INDEMNIFIES, HOLDS HARMLESS, AND SHALL DEFEND AGENT, LENDERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, COUNSEL AND EMPLOYEES ("INDEMNIFIED PERSONS") FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS, EXPENSES, SUITS, ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS EVER SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSSES CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON, BUT NOT INCLUDING ANY LOSSES CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON, AND EACH BORROWER SHALL REIMBURSE THE AGENT, LENDERS AND EACH OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON FOR ANY EXPENSES (INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH THE INVESTIGATION OF, PREPARATION FOR OR DEFENSE OF ANY ACTUAL OR THREATENED CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING THEREFROM, INCLUDING ANY SUCH COSTS OF RESPONDING TO DISCOVERY REQUESTS OR SUBPOENAS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AGENT, SUCH LENDER OR SUCH OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS A PARTY THERETO). WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THIS INDEMNITY SHALL EXTEND TO ANY CLAIMS ASSERTED AGAINST AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON BY ANY PERSON UNDER ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS OR SIMILAR LAWS BY REASON OF BORROWERS' OR ANY OTHER PERSON'S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH LAWS APPLICABLE TO SOLID OR HAZARDOUS WASTE MATERIALS OR OTHER TOXIC SUBSTANCES. EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON MAY SELECT ITS OWN COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOSSES, IN ADDITION TO BORROWERS' COUNSEL, AND SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED THEREFOR HEREUNDER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY CONTRARY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATION OF EACH BORROWER UNDER THIS SECTION 13.2 SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 13.3. MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT. All modifications, consents, amendments or waivers of any provision of any DIP Financing Document, or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall be effective only if the same shall be in writing and concurred in by Lenders, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. 13.4. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. Without limiting Borrowers' obligations for payment of expenses as provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other DIP Financing Document, if, at any time or times prior or subsequent to the date hereof, regardless of whether or not an Event of Default then exists or any of the transactions contemplated hereunder are concluded, Agent or any Lender employs counsel for advice or other representation, or incurs reasonable legal expenses or other reasonable costs or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with: (A) the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement or any of the other DIP Financing Documents or any amendment of or modification of this Agreement or any of the other DIP Financing Documents; or (B) the administration of this Agreement or any of the other DIP Financing Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (C) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Person) in any way relating to the Collateral, this Agreement or any of the other DIP Financing Documents, or any Borrower's affairs; (D) any attempt to enforce any rights of Agent or any Lender against any Borrower or any other Person which may be obligated to Agent or any Lender by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other DIP Financing Documents, including, without limitation, the Account Debtors; or (E) the exercise or enforcement of any rights, remedies or privileges of Agent or any Lender under the DIP Financing Documents or applicable law; (F) the analysis of information received in connection with any of the DIP Financing Documents; (G) the audit of any Collateral or any Borrower's books and records; (H) the granting of any consents or waivers requested in connection with the DIP Financing Documents; (I) the collection of any Obligation; or (J) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, preserve, restore, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral; then, in any such event, the reasonable attorneys' fees arising from such services and all expenses, costs, charges and other fees of such counsel or of Agent or any Lender or relating to any of the events or actions described in this SECTION 13.4 shall be payable, on demand and upon presentation of an itemized statement, by Borrowers to Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall be additional Obligations hereunder secured by the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and fees may include appraisal fees; audit fees; accountants' fees, costs and expenses; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplicating expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air express charges; telegram charges; secretarial overtime charges; consulting fees, costs and expenses; and expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or incurred in connection with the performance of such legal or other services, and Agent or such Lender shall not be obligated to give Borrowers any notice prior to incurring any such expenses. Additionally, if any taxes (excluding taxes imposed upon or measured by the net income of Agent or any Lender) shall be payable on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other DIP Financing Documents, or the creation of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any existing or hereafter enacted federal or state statute, Borrowers will pay all such taxes, including, but not limited to, any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold Agent or such Lender harmless from and against liability in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment to Agent and Lenders as reimbursement for attorney's fees and other legal expenses shall (to the extent required by applicable law or Court procedure) be subject to prior approval of the Court as to the reasonableness of the amount of such fees and expenses. 13.5. INDULGENCES NOT WAIVERS. Agent's and/or Lenders' failure, at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver by Agent or any Lender of an Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other DIP Financing Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other DIP Financing Documents, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations contained in this Agreement or any of the other DIP Financing Documents and no Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other DIP Financing Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Agent and/or Lenders, unless such suspension or waiver is by an instrument in writing specifying such suspension or waiver and is signed by a duly authorized representative of Agent and directed to Borrowers. 13.6. SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 13.7. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; PARTICIPATIONS BY LENDER. This Agreement and the other DIP Financing Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Borrowers, Agent and Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrowers may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement or any other DIP Financing Document, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, Borrowers' rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder or thereunder. Any purported assignment by any Borrower in violation of this SECTION 13.7 shall be void, without Lenders' prior written consent. Borrowers hereby consent to Agent's and/or any Lender's participation, sale, assignment, transfer or of the disposition, at any time or times hereafter, of this Agreement, any other DIP Financing Document, or any other Obligations, or of any portion hereof or thereof, including, without limitation, Agent's and Lenders' rights, title, interests, remedies, powers, and duties hereunder or thereunder. In the case of an assignment, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would have if it were the original "Agent" or "Lender" (as the case may be) hereunder, Agent or Lender (as the case may be) shall be relieved of all obligations hereunder upon any such assignment. In the case of a participation, (i) each participating lender shall be entitled to receive all information received by Agent regarding the creditworthiness of Borrowers, including, without limitation, information required to be disclosed to a participant pursuant to Banking Circular 181 (Rev., August 2, 1984), issued by the Comptroller of the Currency (whether such participating lender is subject to the circular or not), (ii) Borrowers shall execute new Notes in favor of each Lender and (iii) each Lender's pro rata share of the Loans shall be adjusted accordingly. 13.8. CUMULATIVE EFFECT; CONFLICT OF TERMS. The provisions of the other DIP Financing Documents are hereby made cumulative with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 3.3 of this Agreement and except as otherwise provided in any of the other DIP Financing Documents by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in direct conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any of the other DIP Financing Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control. 13.9. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 13.10.

(OTC BB: BRZS) announced today that the Company and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Concurrently, Brazos announced that it has received commitments for up to $62.5 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing from its existing bank group, led by Fleet Capital Corporation as agent, which Brazos believes will be adequate to fund the Company's operations during the reorganization period. Gilbert C. Osnos, interim president and chief executive officer of Brazos, emphasized that daily operations of the Company's manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and offices will continue as usual, and employees will continue to be paid as they always have. "Vendors will be paid in the ordinary course for goods and services purchased after the filing date," Mr.Osnos said. "Over the past few months, the Company has made a number of tough decisions, including the planned closure of our Cincinnati licensed product manufacturing facility and the disposal of excess inventory. While the Company has made progress in its turnaround efforts, management and the board of directors have determined that Brazos must take immediate steps to reorganize its operations, and at the same time restructure its debt obligations to create a capital structure that will ensure that sufficient resources are available to fund the Company's operations. "After reviewing the various alternatives available, we concluded that utilizing the Chapter 11 process to complete our financial restructuring is in the best interests of the Company and its various constituents," Mr. Osnos said. "This action will allow the Company to achieve its restructuring objectives in an orderly, timely manner." He said BT Alex. Brown Incorporated, retained by Brazos Sportswear in November 1998, continues as the Company's financial advisor during the restructuring period. Mr. Osnos, appointed in mid-December 1998, is a principal of OSNOS & Company, a New York- and Charlotte, N.C.- based turnaround and corporate renewal firm which Brazos has retained to assist in its restructuring. Richard Redden, a principal of OSNOS & Company, has been named executive vice president and acting chief operating officer of Brazos. Brazos Sportswear, Inc., designs, produces and markets moderately priced sportswear. Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, it operates manufacturing, distribution and sales facilities in 12 states.
