in accordance with section 1 02 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 4001 (c) and
(d), and the relief requested therein having been served by the Debtors on, among others,

twenty largest unsecured creditors; (iii) DIP Lender or its counsel; and (iv) all other known
holders of secured claims against any ofthe Debtors' assets affected by the reliefrequested in the
Motion.
Upon the record made and the testimony proffered at the Interim Hearing, the record in
the Chapter 11 Cases, the Declaration of Roland K. Bullard, II in Support of Chapter 11
Petitions and Requests for First Day Relief, and the record made at the Final Hearing, and after
due deliberation and consideration and sufficient cause appearing therefor;
- 2-
IT IS FOUND, DETERMINED, ORDERED AND ADJUDGED, that:3
1. Disposition. The Motion hereby is granted on final basis on the terms set forth
herein. Any objections to the relief sought in the Motion that have not previously been resolved
or withdrawn hereby are overruled on the merits. This Final Order shall be valid, binding on all
parties in interest and fully effective immediately upon entry by the Court.
2. Jurisdiction and Venue. This Court has jurisdiction to consider the Motion and
the relief requested therein pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1334. Consideration of the Motion and the
relief requested therein is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157(b). Venue is proper in
this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409. No request has been made for the
appointment of a trustee or examiner and no Committee (as defined below) has yet been
appointed in the Cases.
3. Commencement of the Cases. On March 20, 2012 (the "Petition Date"), each of
the Debtors filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The
Debtors are continuing to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in
possession pursuant to sections 11 07(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
4. Notice. Under the circumstances, the notice given by the Debtors constitutes due
and sufficient notice thereof and complies with section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code and
Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 4001(c) and (d) and 9014.
5. Findings Regarding the Financing.
(a) Good cause has been shown for the entry of this Final Order.
(b) The Debtors represent that they have an immediate need to obtain the
Financing to ensure that the Debtors have sufficient liquidity to finance the Debtors' operations,

Findings of fact shall also constitute conclusions oflaw, and conclusions of law shall also constitute findings of
fact.
- 3 -
pay employees, satisfy other working capital and operational needs and administer and preserve
the value of the Debtors' estates during the pendency of the Cases and to permit a reorganization
ofthe Debtors' assets. The Debtors represent that the Debtors' incurrence of new indebtedness
and other financial accommodations are vital to the preservation, maintenance, and maximization
of the value of the Debtors' assets.
(c) The Debtors represent that they are unable to obtain the required financing
on terms more favorable than those offered by the DIP Lender under the DIP Documents and are
unable to obtain adequate unsecured credit allowable under section 503(b )( 1) of the Bankruptcy
Code as an administrative expense. The Debtors represent that they also are unable to obtain
secured credit under sections 364(c) or 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code on equal or more
favorable terms than those set forth in the DIP Documents. The Debtors represent that a loan
facility in the amount and under the terms provided by the DIP Documents is not available
without the Debtors granting to the DIP Lender, subject to the Carve-Out as provided for herein,
the DIP Liens and the Superpriority Claim (each, as defined below) under the terms and
conditions set forth in the DIP Documents. After considering all alternatives the Debtors have
concluded, in the exercise of their prudent business judgment, that the DIP Facility represents the
best working capital financing available to them at this time.
(d) The terms of the Financing 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.
(e) The terms ofthe Financing have been negotiated in good faith and at
arm's length among the Debtors and the DIP Lender. All of the Debtors' obligations and
indebtedness arising under, in respect of, or in connection with, the Financing and the DIP
- 4-
Documents, including, but not limited to, (i) all loans made to the Debtors pursuant to the DIP
Documents and (ii) all Obligations incurred (collectively, the "DIP Obligations"), have been
extended by the DIP Lender in good faith, as that term is used in section 364(e) of the
Bankruptcy Code, and in express reliance upon the protections offered by section 364(e) ofthe
Bankruptcy Code. The DIP Lender shall be entitled to the full protection of section 364( e) of the
Bankruptcy Code in the event that this Final Order or any provision herein is vacated, reversed
or modified, on appeal or otherwise.
(f) The Debtors have requested entry of this Final Order pursuant to
Bankruptcy Rule 4001(c) and (d). The Debtors represent that, absent the relief in this Final
Order, the Debtors' estates will be immediately and irreparably harmed. Consummation of the
Financing, therefore, is in the best interests ofthe Debtors' estates.
6. Authorization of the Financing and the DIP Documents.
(a) The Debtors hereby are authorized to enter into the DIP Documents. The
Borrowers are hereby authorized to borrow money pursuant to the DIP Documents in the
principal amount of Four Hundred Thousand ($400,000) Dollars (plus interest, as provided for in
the DIP Documents), on a final basis. In accordance with the terms of this Final Order and the
DIP Documents, the borrowings under the DIP Documents shall be used solely for purposes
permitted under the DIP Documents.
(b) In furtherance of the foregoing and without further approval of the Court,
each Debtor is authorized and directed on a final basis to perform all acts, to make, execute and
deliver all instruments and documents (including the execution or recordation of security
agreements, mortgages and financing statements), that may be required or necessary for the
Debtors' performance ofthe DIP Obligations, including:
- 5-
(i) the execution, delivery and performance of the DIP Documents
and any exhibits attached thereto; and
(ii) the performance of all other acts required under or in connection
with the DIP Documents.
(c) Upon the entry ofthis Final Order, the DIP Documents shall constitute
valid and binding obligations of the Debtors, enforceable against each Debtor party thereto in
accordance with the terms of the DIP Documents. With respect to the amount borrowed
pursuant to this Final Order, no DIP Obligation, payment, transfer or grant of security under the
DIP Documents or this Final Order shall be stayed, restrained, voidable, or recoverable under the
Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable law (including under section 502( d) of the Bankruptcy
Code), or subject to any defense, disallowance, recharacterization, reduction, setoff, recoupment
or counterclaim.
7. Termination of DIP Loan Documents. The obligation to lend money under the
DIP Credit and Security Agreement (but no other provision of the DIP Credit and Security
Agreement or the Final Order), shall immediately and automatically terminate (except as the DIP
Lender may otherwise agree) upon receipt ofthe Termination Notice by Borrowers (the
"Termination Event"). Upon receipt of a Termination Notice, Debtors shall provide an
accounting to Lender of all funds received by Debtors, all Allowed Payments (as defined in the
DIP Credit and Security Agreement, and all amounts necessary to pay all fees owing to the US
Trustee for all quarters not yet paid, including the quarter in which the Termination notice is

the Borrowers' account will be paid out in such quarter and to pay to Lender all unused
borrowed funds (the "Unused Funds"), consisting of the borrowed funds less all Allowed
- 6 -
Payments and the unpaid quarterly fees owing to the US Trustee's office and any fees owing to
the Clerk's office.

whatsoever, including all administrative expenses of the kind specified in sections 503(b) and
507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and over any and all administrative expenses or other claims
arising under sections 105,326,328,330,331, 503(b), 506(c), 507, 546(c), 726, 1113 or 1114 of
the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such expenses or claims may become secured by a
judgment lien or other non-consensual lien, levy or attachment, subject, in each instance, only to
the payment of the Carve-Out.
(b) The term "Carve-Out" means, subject to the proviso below, an amount
necessary to pay (i) all fees required to be paid to the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and to the
Office of the United States Trustee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1930(a), (ii) all allowed but unpaid
fees and expenses incurred by professionals of the Borrowers, in respect of allowances of
compensation for services rendered or reimbursement of expenses awarded by the Bankruptcy
Court to the Professionals (not including the Claims Agent, who for purposes of the Carve Out
shall not be included in the Professional Fee Carve Out, but shall be included in (iii) below), in
an aggregate amount not to exceed $195,000, and (iii) all amounts paid or accrued in accordance
with an approved budget, until the receipt ofthe Termination Notice. The payment of the fees
and expenses described in clauses (ii) of this paragraph shall only be to the extent authorized in,
- 7 -
and in accordance with the Budget (as same may be modified by agreement of the Borrower and
Lender), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and which was delivered by the
Debtors to and approved by the DIP Lender, and the payment of the fees and expenses described
in clause (ii) of this paragraph shall be subject to, among other things, entry of an order of the
Court allowing for the payment of such amounts.
(c) In the event of a termination of funding by Lender, any amounts of the
Carve-Out that have accrued through the date of receipt of such Termination Notice from Lender
shall be charged against the funds borrowed from Lender; provided, however, that all fees
required to be paid to the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and to the Office of the United States
Trustee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1930(a) shall be charged first against the funds borrowed from
Lender, and second from all other assets of the Estate; provided further, however, that, in no
event shall the Carve-Out include any fees or expenses incurred after the receipt of such
Termination Notice, except that the Carve-Out shall include all fees required to be paid to the
clerk ofthe Bankruptcy Court and to the Office of the United States Trustee pursuant to 28
U.S.C. 1930(a), whether incurred before or after the receipt of such Termination Notice.
Nothing in the previous sentence shall impact the obligation of the borrowers to pay to the
Lender the Unused Funds as defined in paragraph 7 hereof. Further, nothing herein shall be
construed to impair the ability of any party in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases to object to the
reasonableness of any of the professional fees, expenses, reimbursement or compensation
described above.
9. DIP Liens. As security for the DIP Obligations, the security interests and liens
described in subparagraphs (a) through (c) below hereby are granted to the DIP Lender for its
own benefit (all property identified in subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) below being collectively

tangible and intangible pre- and post-petition property of the Borrowers, including without
limitation, (A) such property of the Borrowers described in clause (ii) of Section 2.08(b ), and
(B) the proceeds of the foregoing, whether now existing or hereafter acquired that is subject to
any existing Liens (whether or not valid or perfected) including, without limitation, the liens
securing the obligations existing on the Petition Date.
10. Adequate Protection. Based on the evidence presented by the Debtors at hearing
on the Motion for interim relief, it appears that the security interests held by pre-petition secured
lenders may have little to no value. Consequently, there is no need for adequate protection as to
any diminution in the value of the collateral ofthe pre-petition lenders, especially given the
amount that is to be lent by the DIP Lender on a final basis is limited to $400,000. To the extent
adequate protection is required on a final basis, based on the evidence presented by the Debtors
at the hearing on the Motion, the pre-petition secured lenders are adequately protected by the
increased value of their security gained through the reorganization process, which is funded by
the DIP loans.
11. Limitation on Charging Expenses Against Collateral. 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 any chapter of
the Bankruptcy Code, shall be charged against or recovered from the DIP Collateral pursuant to
section 506( c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar principle of law without the prior written
- 11 -
consent of the DIP Lender. No such consent shall be implied from any other action, inaction, or
acquiescence by the DIP Lender.
12. Limitation on Use of Financing Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything herein or
in any other order by the Court to the contrary, no borrowings under the Financing, DIP
Collateral or the Carve-Out may be used (i) to object, contest or raise any defense to, the validity,
perfection, priority, extent or enforceability of any amount due under the DIP Documents, or the
liens or claims granted under this Final Order or the DIP Documents, (ii) to assert any action for
preferences, fraudulent conveyances, other avoidance power claims or any other claims,
counterclaims or causes of action, objections, contests or defenses against the DIP Lender, or its
respective agents, affiliates, representatives, attorneys or advisors, in respect of the DIP
Documents, (iii) to prevent, hinder or otherwise delay the DIP Lender's assertion, enforcement
or realization on the DIP Collateral in accordance with the DIP Documents or this Final Order,
(iv) to seek to modify any of the rights granted to the DIP Lender under this Final Order or under
the DIP Documents, or (v) to pay any amount on account of any claims or expenses arising prior
to or after the Petition Date unless such payments are approved by this Final Order (to the extent
requested in the Motion) or are consistent with the Budget (as same may be modified and
approved by Borrower and Lender) was approved (to the extent necessary) by an order of the
Court.
13. Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. The DIP Documents and the
provisions of this Final Order, including all findings herein, shall be binding upon all parties in
interest in the Cases, including the DIP Lender, all Committees appointed in the Cases and the
Debtors and their respective successors and assigns (including any chapter 7 or chapter 11 trustee
hereinafter appointed or elected for the estate of any of the Debtors) and shall inure to the benefit
- 12-
of the DIP Lender and the Debtors and their respective successors and assigns; provided,
however, that the DIP Lender shall have no obligation to extend any financing to any chapter 7
trustee, chapter 11 trustee, examiner or similar responsible person appointed for the estates of the
Debtors. The determination to make any loan under the DIP Documents and/or the exercise of
any rights or remedies as and when permitted pursuant to this Final Order or the DIP Documents,
shall not deem the DIP Lender to be in control of the operations of the Debtors or to be acting as
a "responsible person" or "owner or operator" with respect to the operation or management of
the Debtors (as such terms, or any similar terms, are used in the United States Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 29 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. as
amended, or any similar federal or state statute).
14. Rights Reserved. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the entry of
this Final Order is without prejudice to, and does not constitute a waiver of, expressly or
implicitly, or otherwise impair (a) any of the rights, claims, privileges, objections or defenses
(whether legal, equitable or otherwise) of the DIP Lender under the Bankruptcy Code or under
non-bankruptcy law, including, without limitation, the right of such parties to (i) request
modification of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) request dismissal
ofthe Cases, conversion of the Cases to cases under chapter 7 ofthe Bankruptcy Code, or
appointment of a chapter 11 trustee or examiner, or (iii) propose, subject to the provisions of
section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code, a chapter 11 plan or plans or (b) any other rights, claims or
privileges of the DIP Lender (whether legal, contractual, equitable or otherwise) against any
person or entity in any court.
15. Agreed Budget and Use of Funds. The Debtors represent that the Budget is
achievable and will allow the Debtors to operate in the Cases without the accrual of unpaid
- 13 -
administrative expenses. The DIP Lender is relying upon the Debtors' compliance with the
Budget in accordance with this Final Order in determining to continue lending in accordance
with the DIP Documents. The Debtors shall use the loans or advances made under, or in
connection with, the DIP Documents solely as provided in the DIP Documents (including in
accordance with the Budget, as such Budget may be extended, varied, supplemented, or
otherwise modified in accordance with the provisions of the DIP Documents). The Debtors shall
not, without the prior written consent of the DIP Lender, use any amounts loaned or advanced
under the DIP Documents or proceeds ofthe DIP Collateral in an amount in excess of the
amounts budgeted other than as set forth in the DIP Documents. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Debtors shall be deemed to be in compliance thereof to the extent the
aggregate cumulative expenditures or obligations incurred are not in excess often percent (10%)
of the aggregate amount set forth in the Budget for the applicable time period.
16. Amendments. The DIP Documents may be amended, modified, supplemented,
or the provisions thereof waived in accordance with their terms, without further order of this
Court or notice to any party; provided, however, that if such amendment, modification,
supplement, or waiver is material and/or is adverse to the Debtors' estates, such amendment,
modification, supplement, or waiver may only take place pursuant to an order of the Court, after
notice and a hearing.
17. No Third Party Rights. Except as explicitly provided for herein, this Final
Order does not create any rights for the benefit of any third party, creditor, equity holder or any
direct, indirect, or incidental beneficiary.
18. Final Order Effective Immediately. This Final Order shall constitute findings
of fact and conclusions of law and shall take effect and be fully enforceable immediately upon
- 14-
entry hereof. Notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 4001(a)(3), 6004(h), 6006(d), 7062 or 9024 or
any other Bankruptcy Rule, or Rule 62(a) ofthe Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, this Final
Order shall be immediately effective and enforceable upon its entry and there shall be no stay of
execution or effectiveness of this Final Order.
19. Priority of Terms. To the extent of any conflict between or among (a) the
express terms or provisions of any of the DIP Documents, the Motion, any other order of this
Court, or any other agreements, on the one hand, and (b) the terms and provisions of this Final
Order, on the other hand, unless such term or provision herein is phrased in terms of "as defined
in" or "as more fully described in" the DIP Loan Documents, the terms and provisions of this
Final Order shall govern.

economy. The Debtors shall request a hearing on the pending Interim Fee

Court deems appropriate.

Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the
guidelines of the Office of the UST and the Local Rules of the Court.

as set forth herein, shall not prejudice the rights of any parties in interest
from objecting to, or responding to any objection to, any Interim Fee
Application or final fee application under Bankruptcy Code section 330.
m. The pendency of an Objection to payment of compensation or reimbursement of
expenses shall not disqualify a Professional from the future payment of

compensation or reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the Interim Fee Payment
Procedures; and it is further
ORDERED that service of the Monthly Fee Application, the Interim Fee Application,
final fee applications, and hearing notices is approved as follows: (i) the Notice Parties shall be
