The Interim Hearing having been held by this Court on July 13, 2009, and upon the record made by the Debtors at the Interim Hearing and after due deliberation and consideration and sufficient cause appearing therefor; THE COURT HEREBY MAKES THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: I. Petition Date. On July 9, 2009 (the "Petition Date"), the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter II of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Cases"). The Debtors are continuing in possession of their property, and operating and managing their businesses, as debtors in possession pursuant to Bankruptcy Code 1107 and 1108. The Debtors have filed a motion requesting joint administration of the Cases. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in the Cases. 2. Jurisdiction and Venue. This Court has jurisdiction over the Cases and the parties and property affected hereby pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157(b) and 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157(b)(2). Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409. 3. Committee Formation. An official committee of unsecured creditors has not yet been appointed in the Cases. 4. Notice. Notice of the Motion and DIP Documents, the relief requested therein and the Interim Hearing has been served by the Debtors on (i) the Office of the United States Trustee, (ii) the DIP Lenders, (iii) counsel to Comerica, (iv) counsel to the Trustee and Collateral -4- #112\7923v2 Agent (as each such term is defined below), (v) the Debtors twenty (20) largest unsecured creditors, determined on a consolidated basis, and (vi) all other known holders of prepetition liens, encumbrances or security interests against the Debtors' property. Under the circumstances, such notice constitutes due and sufficient notice and complies with Bankruptcy Rules 400l(b), 400l(c) and 4001(d), Local Bankruptcy Rule 4001-2 and section 102(1) ofthe Bankruptcy Code in light of the emergency nature ofthe reliefrequested in the Motion, and no further notice of the relief sought at the Interim Hearing and the relief granted herein is necessary or required. 5. Necessity of Financing. The Debtors submit that the DIP Facility to be made available by the DIP Lenders pursuant to the DIP Loan Agreement and the Debtors' use of Cash Collateral will allow them to continue the operations of their businesses and administer and preserve the value of their estates during the pendency of the Cases. The ability of the Debtors to finance their operations during the pendency of the Cases requires the availability of additional working capital, the absence of which would immediately and irreparably harm the Debtors, their estates and their creditors and the Debtors' efforts to pursue and consummate the sale of all or substantially all of their assets (the "Sale"). Entry of this Interim Order approving the DIP Facility and the Debtors' use of Cash Collateral will benefit the Debtors and their estates and creditors. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Debtor's estates to establish the DIP Facility contemplated by the DIP Loan Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents and authorize the Debtors' use of Cash Collateral, other than Excluded Cash Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions in the DIP Loan Documents and as set forth in this Interim Order. 6. No Credit Available on Other Terms. The Debtors are unable to obtain unsecured credit allowable under sections 503(b)(l), 364(a) or 364(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. -5- #1\217923 v2 7. Willingness to Lend. The Debtors are unable to obtain secured credit allowable under sections 364(c)(l), 364(c)(2) and 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code without the necessity of the Debtors granting to the DIP Lenders the DIP Liens and the Superpriority Claims under the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Documents and this Interim Order, subject to the Carve-Out and the First Prepetition Liens, Replacement Liens and Superpriority Claims of Comerica. The Debtors are unable to obtain financing from sources other than the DIP Lenders or on more favorable terms than those set forth in the DIP Documents. 8. Business Judgment and Good Faith. The terms of the DIP Facility and DIP Loan Documents and the use of Cash Collateral as described in the Motion and as set forth at the Interim Hearing, including those which provide for the payment of interest to the DIP Lenders at the times, in the amounts and in the manner provided under the DIP Credit Agreement are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors' exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties and constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration. The DIP Facility and use ofthe Collateral (as defined below), including Cash Collateral, were negotiated in good faith (as that term is used in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) and at arm's length among the Debtors, DIP Lenders, Comerica and the Note Parties (collectively, the "Prepetition Lien Holders"), and all ofthe Debtors' obligations and indebtedness arising under, in respect of, or in connection with the DIP Facility and the DIP Documents, including, without limitation, (i) all loans made to the Debtors pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement and (ii) any Obligations or Indebtedness (as each such term is defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) permitted thereby, in each case owing to the DIP Lenders or any of their respective affiliates (all of the foregoing collectively, the "DIP Obligations"), shall be deemed to have been extended by the DIP Lenders and their respective affiliates in good faith (as that term is used in section 364(e) of the -6- #11217923 v2 Bankruptcy Code), and in express reliance upon the protections offered by section 364( e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall be entitled to the full protection of section 364( e) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event that this Interim Order or any provision hereof is vacated, reversed or modified, on appeal or otherwise. 9. Property of the Estate. Each item of the Collateral constitutes property of the estate of at least one Debtor. 10. Good Cause. Good and sufficient cause exists for the entry of this Interim Order. The borrowings under the DIP Facility and the Debtors' use of Cash Collateral, other than Excluded Cash Collateral, and the other relief requested in the Motion is necessary, essential, appropriate and in the best interest of the Debtors, their creditors, and their estates, as the implementation of the DIP Facility and access to Cash Collateral will, among other things, (a) provide the Debtors with the liquidity necessary to minimize disruption to the Debtors' businesses and on-going operations during the course of the Cases, (b) preserve and maximize the value of the Debtors' estates for the benefit of all creditors, (c) enable the Debtors to pursue and consummate the Sale, and (d) avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors and their estates, their creditors, their businesses, their employees, and their assets. 11. Debtors' Acknowledgments and Agreements. Without prejudice to the rights of any other party (but subject to the limitations thereon set forth in paragraph 40 of this Interim Order), the Debtors admit, stipulate, acknowledge and agree that: (i) ?repetition Senior Loan Agreement.

("BNY"), as Trustee (acting in such capacity, for the benefit of itself and the Noteholders, the "Trustee"), and all of the security, pledge, control, collateral and ancillary agreements and documents executed in connection with the Indenture, including the Security Agreement (as defined in the Indenture) under which BNY is the Collateral Agent (acting in such capacity on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders, the "Collateral Agent") (together with the Indenture, collectively, the "Note Documents", and together with the Senior Loan Documents, the "Prepetition Debt Documents").

Nothing herein shall permit the Prepetition Lien Holders to take any action in violation of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law or that is contrary to this Interim Order. -18- #11217923 v2 (b) The automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code are vacated and modified to permit the DIP Lenders to exercise: (i) immediately upon the occurrence of a DIP Event of Default, and at any times thereafter, all rights and remedies under the DIP Documents which permit the DIP Lenders to (a) terminate all or any portion of the DIP Facility and the DIP Commitments, (b) declare the DIP Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and (c) take any and all actions and exercise any and all rights and remedies permitted under the DIP Financing Documents which the DIP Lenders may deem appropriate (other than those set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 18); and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a DIP Event of Default and the giving of at least five (5) business days' prior written notice to the Debtors, the United States Trustee, Comerica, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any Committee, all rights and remedies against the Collateral provided for in the DIP Documents (including, without limitation, the right to setoff monies of the Debtors in accounts maintained with the DIP Lenders, if any). 19. Use of Cash Collateral. Subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Debtors are authorized to use Cash Collateral in the amounts set forth in the Original Budget attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Original Budget"), other than the Excluded Cash Collateral, through the earliest to occur of (the "Interim Period"): (a) the date of entry of the Final Order, (b) October 9, 2009, and (c) the occurrence of the Termination Date (as defined below). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Interim Order, the Debtors are authorized to use Cash Collateral (other than Excluded Cash Collateral) to: (x) continue operating while in chapter 11, including purchasing inventory, paying employees and employee related costs, rent, utilities and other overhead; and (y) fund the professional and other fees associated with conducting the Sale, negotiating and closing the Sale, closing the Debtors' -19- #!1217923v2 offices in France and Taiwan, and converting the Cases to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (or otherwise winding down and closing the estates), in each case in accordance with the Original Budget, as it may be updated from time-to-time. 20. The Original Budget reflects on a line-item thirteen (13) week rolling-basis the Debtors' anticipated aggregate cash receipts and aggregate necessary and required expenses for each week covered by the Original Budget. For each week covered by the Original Budget and any subsequent budget, the aggregate actual disbursements by the Debtors during such week of determination must be no greater than 115% of the aggregate amount of projected disbursements for such period as set forth in the Original Budget or any subsequent budget. In addition, during each four (4) week period covered by the Original Budget or any subsequent budget, aggregate actual cash receipts collected by the Debtors during such period of determination shall not be less than 85% of the aggregate amount of projected cash receipts for such period as set forth in the Original Budget or any subsequent budget. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the foregoing variance tests, any unused amounts set forth in the Original Budget or any subsequent budget for any period of determination may be carried forward and used during subsequent periods. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in the Original Budget or this Interim Order shall be deemed or construed as (x) a finding or admission as to the validity of any claim relating to a budgeted amount, (y) an agreement or promise by any party in interest to pay any such budgeted claim, or (z) a waiver ofthe rights of any party in interest to contest any such claim. Furthermore, nothing in this Interim Order shall authorize the disposition of any assets of the Debtors or their estates outside the ordinary course of business, nor authorize the use by the Debtors of any proceeds from any such disposition of assets. The Original Budget may be -20- #ll217923v2 amended or modified in writing from time to time only with the prior written consent of the DIP Lenders and Trustee at the direction of the Noteholders. 21. The Debtors shall provide to the DIP Lenders, Comerica (for so long as the Senior Loan Obligations remain outstanding) and the Trustee, so as to actually be received within four (4) business days following the end of each week, (a) an updated rolling 13-week budget, and (b) weekly line-by-line variance reports for the immediately preceding weekly period and on a cumulative basis from the Petition Date to the report date, comparing actual cash receipts and actual cash disbursements to cash receipts and cash disbursements forecasted in the Original Budget for such period and showing on a line-by-line basis any variance to the corresponding line-item of the Original Budget together with an explanation for such variance. 22. Adeguate Protection for Prepetition Lien Holders. In this Interim Order, the term "Replacement Lien" shall mean that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Interim Order, the Prepetition Lien Holders shall have and are hereby granted (effective upon the date of this Interim Order and without the necessity of the Debtors or the Prepetition Lien Holders to execute mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, pledge agreements, control agreements, financing statements or otherwise), valid and perfected, security interests in, and liens upon all present and after-acquired property of the Debtors of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, all cash contained in any account maintained or controlled by the Debtors, the proceeds of all causes of action, whether pursuant to applicable federal, state or local law of the Debtors or their estates and, subject to entry of the Final Order and the terms thereof, the proceeds of Avoidance Actions in the Cases, in the same priority and to the same extent, priority, enforceability, unavoidability and validity applicable to Comerica's security interests and liens in the Prepetition Collateral and the Collateral Agent's security interests and liens in the Prepetition -21- #11217923 v2 Collateral; provided, however, the Replacement Liens granted to Comerica shall be senior in all respects to the DIP Liens granted to the DIP Lenders and the Replacement Liens granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Interim Order and to the Second Prepetition Liens of the Collateral Agent, and provided further, that all of the Replacement Liens shall be subject and subordinate to any Permitted Prior Liens. 23. Any provision of this Interim Order to the contrary notwithstanding, the Replacement Liens and the Superpriority Claims granted to the Prepetition Lien Holders pursuant to this Interim Order shall be subject and subordinate to the Carve-Out. 24. The Prepetition Lien Holders are granted the following adequate protection for any diminution in the value of their respective interests in the Prepetition Collateral from the Petition Date resulting from (a) the use, sale, lease, disposition, shrinkage, decline in market value, consumption or physical deterioration of the Prepetition Collateral (including Cash Collateral) by the Debtors, and (b) the imposition of the automatic stay pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the "Adequate Protection Obligations"): 25. The Prepetition Lien Holders shall have and are hereby granted the Replacement Liens subject to the priorities set forth herein and the Carve-Out. Subject in all respects to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Consent, and except as otherwise set forth herein, the Replacement Liens granted to the Prepetition Lien Holders pursuant to this Interim Order shall be prior and senior to all liens and encumbrances of (a) all other secured creditors in and to such property granted, or arising, subsequent to the date of this Interim Order (including, without limitation, liens and security interests, if any, granted in favor of any federal, state, municipal or other governmental unit, commission, board or court for any liability of the Debtors other than taxes), (b) any intercompany claim of any Debtor or subsidiary or affiliate of any Debtor, and (c) -22- #\1217923v2 any security interest or lien that is avoided or otherwise preserved for the benefit of any Debtor's estate pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 551; provided, however, that the Replacement Liens granted to the Collateral Agent shall be subordinate to the DIP Liens and the Replacement Liens granted to Comerica. (a) Subject to the Carve-Out, Comerica and the Collateral Agent are hereby granted allowed Superpriority Claims; provided, however, that the Superpriority Claims granted to Comerica shall be senior in all respects to the Supermajority Claims of the DIP Lenders and the Collateral Agent. Subject to the Carve-Out, no cost or expense of administration under Bankruptcy Code 105, 503(b) and 507(b) shall be senior to, or pari passu with, any Superpriority Claims; (b) As additional adequate protection for Comerica, to the extent that Comerica determines that the amount of Excluded Cash Collateral it will have on hand on the date of the closing of the Sale (the "Consummation Date") is insufficient to satisfy in full the Senior Loan Obligations, Comerica shall deliver written notice of the same, which notice shall include the amount ofthe deficiency (the "Deficiency Amount"), the calculation thereof and Comerica' s wire instructions, to the Debtors, with copies to counsel to the DIP Lenders and Note Parties, at least two (2) days prior to the Consummation Date and, as a condition to the occurrence of the closing of the Sale, (i) ifthe Noteholders are not the successful purchasers of the Debtors' assets pursuant to the Sale, the Debtors shall, prior to the Consummation Date, wire the Deficiency Amount to the Comerica in immediately available US funds, or (ii) if the Noteholders are the successful purchaser of the Debtors' assets pursuant to the Sale, the purchaser shall wire the Deficiency Amount to the Comerica in immediately available US funds on the Consummation Date. The DIP Lenders and Note Parties shall be deemed to consent to the -23- #ll2l7923v2 use of proceeds of the DIP Facility and/or Cash Collateral, as the case may be, to fund the Deficiency Amount; and (c) As additional adequate protection, the Debtors, without further order of or application to the Court, are directed and authorized during the Interim Period to pay on a monthly basis, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Comerica, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and any financial or other consultants advising them) that were due as of the Petition Date or arise after the Petition Date in connection with the Cases or any subsequent cases or proceedings, without the necessity of filing fee applications. In the event of a draw under or in connection with the Comerica letters of credit or credit card line, Comerica may deduct amounts from the Excluded Cash Collateral and apply the same to its own account for reimbursement of any or all of its fees or expenses incurred under the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement, whether such fees and expenses were incurred prior to or after the Petition Date, without the necessity of filing fee applications, seeking relief from the automatic stay or obtaining any other order of the Court or authorization from any other Entity (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code). Any party seeking reimbursement under this Section 25 shall provide copies of any invoices or notices sent to the Debtors for such costs and expenses to counsel for the Committee and the Office ofthe United States Trustee. Notwithstanding any provision of this Interim Order or the Prepetition Debt Documents to the contrary, the Prepetition Lien Holders reserve, and this Interim Order is without prejudice to, their respective rights to, among other things, seek additional adequate protection (provided that any adequate protection provided hereafter to the Collateral Agent shall also be provided to Comerica on a senior priority basis), claim payment or reimbursement of additional interest (including default interest), fees and expenses (including, without limitation, -24- #\1217923 v2 professional fees and expenses) or other costs and expenses (including claims related to make whole or prepayment premiums, if any) set forth in the Prepetition Debt Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of this Interim Order or the Prepetition Debt Documents to the contrary, all provisions for payments to Comerica, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of post- petition fees and expenses (including, without limitation, professional fees and expenses) in respect of the Prepetition Obligations shall be without prejudice to the right of any party in interest with standing to seek a determination from the Court at the Final Hearing as to whether such parties were entitled to such payments as adequate protection payments pursuant to sections 361 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent that the Court determines in a final and non- appealable order that such party was not entitled to adequate protection payments under sections 361 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, then the amount of such payments shall be recharacterized and applied as payments of principal, if any, under the Senior Loan Agreement or Indenture, as the case may be. 26. Anything in this Interim Order to the contrary notwithstanding, the Debtors shall be prohibited from using Cash Collateral (absent further order of the Bankruptcy Court) immediately upon receipt of written notice from Comerica (to the extent the Senior Loan Obligations remain outstanding) or the Trustee to Debtors' counsel and counsel to the Committee that a Cash Collateral Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. For purposes of this Interim Order, a "Cash Collateral Event of Default" shall occur with respect to the Debtors' use of Cash Collateral if (a) the Debtors fail to perform any of their obligations in accordance with the terms of this Interim Order, including, without limitation, the Debtors' failure to use Cash Collateral in compliance with the Original Budget or subsequent budgets or to provide the information or access as required herein, (b) any representation or warranty made -25- #\1217923 v2 by the Debtors under this Interim Order or any pleading, certificate, report or financial statement delivered to the Prepetition Lien Holders proves to have been false or misleading in any material respect as of the time made or given (including by omission of material information or fact necessary to make such representation, warranty or statement not misleading), (c) the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee or examiner with expanded powers, (d) the Cases are converted to cases under chapter 7, (e) without the prior written consent ofComerica and the Collateral Agent, the Debtors shall purport to grant or file a motion seeking to grant a third party a security interest or lien upon all or part of any property of the Debtors that has a priority which is senior to, or equal with, any of the Prepetition Liens or Replacement Liens granted hereunder in all or any of a portion of such property (other than the DIP Liens), or (f) a DIP Event of Default shall have occurred. 27. Carve-Out. Any provision of this Interim Order to the contrary notwithstanding, the DIP Liens, Replacement Liens and Superpriority Claims granted hereunder to the DIP Lenders and/or Prepetition Lien Holders, as the case may be, shall be subject and subordinate to a carve-out (the "Carve-Out") for (a) allowed reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and financial advisors (collectively, the "Professionals") employed by the Debtors and any official committee(s) of unsecured creditors (the "Committee") formed pursuant to sections 327, 328, II 02 and II 03 of the Bankruptcy Code and any disbursements of any member of the Committee accrued before the termination of the DIP Facility and/or the Debtors' use of Cash Collateral hereunder, (b) following notice of the termination of the DIP Facility and/or Debtors' use of Cash Collateral, the payment of allowed professional fees and disbursements incurred or accrued after such notice of termination by the Professionals and any disbursements of any member of the Committee in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000 (in addition to compensation -26- #ll217923v2 previously awarded or incurred prior to termination of the Debtors' use of Cash Collateral, but subject to Court approval), (c) quarterly fees required to be paid pursuant to 28 U.S. C. 1930(a)(6) and any fees payable to the Clerk ofthe Bankruptcy Court, and (d) all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by a trustee under section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in an amount not to exceed $50,000; provided, however, the Carve-Out shall not include professional fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the commencement and prosecution of any adversary proceeding or contested matter in which any person or entity asserts any claims or causes of action against any or all of the DIP Lenders or Prepetition Lien Holders or challenges or raises any defense to the DIP Liens, DIP Lenders, Petition Obligations, Prepetition Liens, Prepetition Lien Holders, Replacement Liens or the Superpriority Claims; provided, further that nothing herein shall be construed to impair the ability of any party, including, but not limited to the DIP Lenders and Prepetition Lien Holders, to object to any fees, expenses, reimbursement or compensation described in this paragraph 27. As long as the Debtors are entitled to use borrowings under the DIP Facility or Cash Collateral pursuant to the terms ofthis Interim Order, the Debtors shall be permitted to pay all reasonable and necessary compensation and reimbursement of expenses allowed and payable under sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, as the same may be payable, and the amount so paid shall not reduce the Carve-Out. In the event of a liquidation of either of both of the Debtors' estates, an amount equal to the Carve- Out (or a pro rata amount in the event of a liquidation of only one of the Debtors) shall be reserved from the proceeds of such liquidation, or from cash held in the estates at such time, and held in a segregated account prior to the making of the distributions. 28. So long as no DIP Event of Default or Cash Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Debtors shall be permitted to pay administrative expenses of the -27- #11217923 v2 kind specified in section 503(b) ofthe Bankruptcy Code incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Debtors, subject to the maximum amounts for such type of expenditures contained in the provisions of the DIP Credit Documents and Original Budget in the aggregate, as the same may be due and payable. 29. Proceeds ofSubseguent Financing. Without limiting any of the other provisions of this Interim Order, if at any time prior to (i) the indefeasible repayment in full in cash of all DIP Obligations, and (ii) the termination of the DIP Commitments, any Debtor or any trustee subsequently appointed in the Cases shall obtain credit or incur debt pursuant to section 364(b ), 364( c) or 364( d) of the Bankruptcy Code, then, except as permitted by the DIP Credit Agreement, all of the proceeds of such credit or debt shall immediately be applied to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the DIP Obligations in accordance with the DIP Documents. 30. Limitation on Charging Expenses Against Collateral. Subject to and effective only upon entry of the Final Order granting such relief, except to the extent of the Carve-Out, no expenses of administration of the Cases or any future proceeding that may result therefrom, including liquidation in bankruptcy or other proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, shall be charged against or recovered from the Collateral pursuant to section 506( c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar principle of law, without the prior written consent of the DIP Lenders, Comerica and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and no such consent shall be implied from any other action, inaction, or acquiescence by the DIP Lenders and/or the Prepetition Lien Holders. 31. Termination. All (i) DIP Obligations of the Debtors to the DIP Lenders shall be immediately due and payable in accordance with the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement and -28- #11217923v2 (ii) authorization to use Cash Collateral shall cease, on the date (the "Termination Date") that is the earliest to occur of: (a) October 9, 2009; (b) the Consummation Date, (c) the effective date of a plan of reorganization for any of the Debtors confirmed pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, (d) the date that is the Commitment Termination Date (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) and (e) the occurrence of a DIP Event of a Default and/or Cash Collateral Event of Default. 32. Access to Collateral. The DIP Lenders and the Collateral Agent and their respective experts and advisors shall be given reasonable access to the Collateral for purposes of monitoring the business of the Debtors and valuing the Collateral. 33. Information. The Debtors shall provide the DIP Lenders and the Prepetition Lien Holders with all inspection rights and reports (in addition to those required by this Interim Order) to the extent required under the Prepetition Debt Documents or as otherwise reasonably requested by the DIP Lenders and the Prepetition Lien Holders. 34. Reservation of Rights of Prepetition Lien Holders. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Interim Order (including, without limitation, the authorization of the use of any Cash Collateral) shall impair or modify any rights, claims or defenses available in law or equity, to the DIP Lenders or Prepetition Lien Holders, including, without limitation, rights of a party to a swap agreement, securities contract, commodity contract, forward contract or repurchase agreement with a Debtor to assert rights of setoff or other rights with respect thereto as permitted by law (or the right of a Debtor to contest such assertion). 35. Perfection of DIP Liens and Replacement Liens. (a) The automatic stay imposed under section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code is hereby vacated and modified to permit the Debtors to grant the liens and security interests to -29- #11217923v2 the DIP Lenders and Prepetition Lien Holders contemplated by the DIP Financing Documents (with respect to the DIP Lenders) and this Interim Order. (b) The DIP Liens and Replacement Liens granted pursuant to this Interim Order shall constitute valid and duly perfected security interests and liens (subject to the priorities set forth herein and in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Consent), and the DIP Lenders and the Prepetition Lien Holders shall not be required to file or serve financing statements, notices of lien or similar instruments which otherwise may be required under federal, state or local law in any jurisdiction, or take any action, including taking possession, to validate and perfect such security interests and liens; and the failure by the Debtors to execute any documentation relating to the DIP Liens or Replacement Liens shall in no way affect the validity, perfection or priority of such liens. The DIP Lenders and Prepetition Lien Holders are hereby authorized, but not required, to file or record financing statements, trademark filings, copyright filings, mortgages, notices of lien or similar instruments in any jurisdiction or take any other action in order to validate and perfect the liens and security interests granted to them hereunder. Whether or not the DIP Lenders or Prepetition Lien Holders shall, in their sole discretion, choose to file such financing statements, trademark filings, copyright filings, mortgages, notices of lien or similar instruments or otherwise confirm perfection of the liens and security interests granted to them hereunder, such liens and security interests shall be deemed valid, perfected, allowed, enforceable, nonavoidable and not subject to challenge, dispute or subordination, at the time and as of the date of entry of this Interim Order. Upon the request of the DIP Lenders, the Debtors and the Prepetition Lien Holders, without any further consent of any party, are authorized to take, execute and deliver such instruments (in each case without representation or warranty of -30- #11217923 v2 any kind) to enable the DIP Lenders to further validate, perfect, preserve and enforce the DIP Liens. (c) A certified copy of this Interim Order may be filed with or recorded in filing or recording offices in addition to or in lieu of such financing statements, mortgages, notices of lien or similar instruments, and all filing offices are hereby authorized and directed to accept such certified copy of this Interim Order for filing and recording. 36. Marshalling. In no event shall the DIP Lenders or the Prepetition Lien Holders be subject to the equitable doctrine of "marshaling" or any similar doctrine with respect to the Collateral. 37. Section 552(b).

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, if an order dismissing any of the Cases under section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise is at any time entered, such order shall provide (in accordance with sections I 05 and 349 of the Bankruptcy Code), to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) the DIP Liens, Replacement Liens and Superpriority Claims pursuant to this Interim Order shall continue in full force and effect and shall maintain their priorities as provided in this Interim Order (and pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and Consent) until all DIP Obligations and Adequate Protection Obligations shall have been paid and satisfied in full and that such DIP Liens, Replacement Liens and Superpriority Claims, shall, notwithstanding such dismissal, remain binding on all parties in interest and (ii) this Court shall retain jurisdiction, notwithstanding such dismissal, for the purposes of enforcing the claims, liens and security interests referred provided for this Interim Order. (c) If any or all of the provisions of this Interim Order are hereafter reversed, modified, vacated or stayed, such reversal, stay, modification or vacation shall not affect (i) the validity of any DIP Obligations or Adequate Protection Obligations incurred prior to the effective date of such reversal, stay, modification or vacation or (ii) the validity or enforceability of any lien or priority authorized or created hereby or pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement with respect to any DIP Obligations or with respect to the Adequate Protection Obligations.

Effect of Stipulations on Third Parties. The agreements, stipulations and findings contained in this Interim Order shall be binding upon all parties in interest, including but not -33- 1111217923 v2 limited to the Debtors and the Committee, unless (a) (i) a party in interest with standing, other than the Committee, in the Debtors' Cases has timely filed an adversary proceeding or contested matter no later than seventy-five (75) days from the date of entry of this Interim Order (unless such deadline is extended by written consent of Comerica (until the Senior Loan Obligations have been paid in full and discharged in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Loan Agreement) and the Trustee or by order of this Court) asserting any claims or causes of action against the Prepetition Lien Holders, or (ii) the Committee has timely filed an adversary proceeding or contested matter no later than sixty (60) days from the date of its formation (unless such deadline is extended by written consent of Comerica (until the Senior Loan Obligations have been paid in full and discharged in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Loan Agreement) and the Trustee or by order of this Court) asserting any claims or causes of action against the Prepetition Lien Holders, and (b) the Court rules (whether prior to or after such period) in favor of the plaintiff or movant in any such adversary proceeding or contested matter timely filed within such period. If no such adversary proceeding or contested matter is timely commenced within the respective periods set forth above, (w) the Prepetition Obligations shall constitute allowed claims (other than those Senior Loan Obligations that are contingent, if any, which shall constitute allowed claims upon the date such claims are no longer contingent), subject to increase in accordance with the provisions of this Interim Order, for all purposes in the Cases and any subsequent chapter 7 cases, (x) the Prepetition Lien Holders' respective security interest and liens on the Prepetition Collateral shall be deemed legal, valid, binding, perfected and otherwise unavoidable, (y) the Prepetition Obligations and the Prepetition Lien Holders' security interest and liens on the Prepetition Collateral shall not be subject to subordination, counterclaims, set-off, defense, avoidance or any other or further challenge by any party in -34- #112l7923v2 interest seeking to exercise the rights of the Debtors' estates, including, without limitation, any successor thereto, and (z) as a result of the foregoing, the repayment of any Prepetition Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Interim Order and the Prepetition Debt Documents shall constitute an indefeasible payment and shall be final and binding for all purposes. If any such adversary proceeding or contested matter is timely commenced within the respective periods set forth above, the agreements, stipulations and findings contained in this Interim Order shall nonetheless remain binding and preclusive on the Committee and on any other person or entity, except to the extent that such findings or admissions were expressly challenged in such adversary proceeding or contested matter. Nothing in this Interim Order confers on any Entity (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code), other than the Debtors, standing or authority to pursue any cause of action belonging to the Debtors or their estates, including without limitation, claims and defenses with respect to the Prepetition Obligations. For purposes of this paragraph 40, any trustee appointed or elected in the Cases shall, until expiration of the period for commencing an adversary proceeding or contested matter as described in this paragraph and thereafter for the duration of any litigation in such an adversary proceeding or contested matter (whether commenced by such trustee or by any other party in interest on behalf of the debtors' estates), be deemed to be a party "other than the debtors" and shall not, for purposes of such litigation, be bound by the acknowledgments, admissions and confirmations of the debtors in this Interim Order. 41. Except with respect to the matters expressly governed by this Interim Order and subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Consent, entry ofthis Interim Order shall be without prejudice to any and all the rights, remedies, claims and causes of action which the Prepetition Lien Holders may have against the Debtors or any third parties, and -35- #11217923 v2 without prejudice to the rights, if any, ofPrepetition Lien Holders to seek relief from the automatic stay in effect pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other relief in the Cases, and without prejudice to the rights of the Debtors or any other party in interest to oppose any such relief. The provisions of this Interim Order shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Prepetition Lien Holders, the Debtors, and their respective permitted successors and assigns, including any trustee or other fiduciary hereatler appointed in the Cases as a legal representative of the Debtors or the Debtors' estates. 42. Limitation on Use of DIP Facility Proceeds and Cash Collateral.
