The proceeds of the Initial Supplemental Loan shall be used by the Company (i) first, to repay in full the obligations of the Company to ING Capital under the Credit Agreement dated July 10, 1998 between the Company and ING Capital, and (ii) second, to repay outstanding Loans under the Domestic Commitment. (b) Concurrently with the effectiveness of this Amendment, those letters of Credit described on Exhibit L, in the aggregate effective face amount of $10,645,201.11, shall be deemed to have been issued under the Supplemental Commitment (rather than the Domestic Commitment). Each drawing under any Supplemental Letters of Credit issued from time to time hereunder shall be deemed to be a Supplemental Loan. (c) In the event that, prior to the payment in full and in cash of all of the Obligations under the Domestic Commitment and the UK Commitment, the aggregate credit exposure of the Supplemental Lenders with respect to the Supplemental Obligations is effectively reduced to a principal amount which is less than 4 $30,500,000, whether by reason of the expiration of any Supplemental Letter of Credit, the reduction of the amount available for drawing thereunder, or otherwise then the Supplemental Lenders shall, in each case to the extent of the reduction: (i) ratably participate in new Supplemental Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Domestic Borrowers; or (ii) ratably participate in Letters of Credit previously issued under the Domestic Commitment (which shall, to the extent of such participation, be deemed to be Supplemental Letters of Credit) and the participation of the Lenders under the Domestic Commitment shall be likewise reduced; or (iii) make additional Supplemental Loans in Dollars, the proceeds of which shall be used to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Loans under the Domestic Commitment; PROVIDED that in no event shall the SUM of the principal amount of the outstanding Supplemental Loans PLUS the aggregate effective face amount of all Supplemental Letters of Credit exceed $30,500,000. (d) All Obligations under the Supplemental Commitment, including all principal, all interest, fees and other amounts payable with respect thereto and all reimbursement obligations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to the Supplemental Letters of Credit, shall be subordinated to the other Obligations in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Subordination Agreement. (e) The Supplemental Loans and the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers with respect to the Supplemental Letters of Credit shall be evidenced by the Supplemental Loan Note, which shall be deemed to be one of the "Notes" described in the Loan Agreement. (f) The principal amount of the Supplemental Loans shall be due and payable on December 31, 2002 (the "Supplemental Maturity Date"), PROVIDED that in the event that the Maturity Date is hereafter extended, then the Supplemental Maturity Date shall be automatically extended to the date which is 91 days following the new Maturity Date. Interest shall accrue with respect to the Supplemental Loans at the same rates, and shall be payable on the same dates as interest accrues and is payable with respect to other Loans under the Loan Agreement. Each of the fees payable with respect to Letters of Credit under Section 3.4 of the Loan Agreement shall be payable with respect to the Supplemental Letters of Credit, PROVIDED THAT such fees shall be for the sole account of the Supplemental Lenders. Without the consent of ING Capital, no Supplemental Letter of Credit shall have a term which exceeds the Supplemental Maturity Date. 5 (g) ING Capital, the Company and Borrowers agree that no prepayments of principal shall be made with respect to the Supplemental Loans unless and until the other Obligations have been repaid in full and in cash. No Supplemental Letter of Credit shall be treated as usage under the Domestic Commitment or usage of the sublimit for Letters of Credit under the Domestic Commitment and the UK Commitment. No Letter of Credit shall be issued under the Domestic Commitment for the purpose of replacing, directly or indirectly, any Supplemental Letter of Credit or to provide credit support for any Supplemental Letter of Credit. (h) The Supplemental Loans and the Supplemental Letters of Credit are made and issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement, are "Obligations" (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and shall be entitled to the benefit of the Guaranties and the Collateral Documents to the same extent (although on a subordinated basis pursuant to the Subordination Agreement) as the Obligations under the Domestic Commitment). (i) The Obligations under the Supplemental Commitment shall be entitled to the exclusive benefit of the Sponsor Collateral, and the Supplemental Lenders shall be entitled to release, reconvey, subordinate, foreclose upon and otherwise deal with the Sponsor Collateral without the consent of the other Lenders. (j) No amendment, modification or waiver of the Supplemental Note, the Supplemental Letters of Credit or this Section 3 shall be effective without the consent of the Supplemental Lenders. In addition, without the consent of the Supplemental Lenders, no amendment, modification or waiver may be made of the terms of the Loan Documents which has the effect of: (A) reducing the principal amount of the Supplemental Obligations, requiring any extension of the maturity of the Supplemental Obligations (except as described in Section 3(f) of this Amendment), or reducing the interest rate or fees payable to the Supplemental Lenders with respect to the Supplemental Obligations; (B) releasing the Sponsor Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations; or (C) releasing any collateral for the Obligations (except to the extent that the same is (x) for fair value to any third party unaffiliated to the Company, the Sponsors or the Lenders, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or (y) approved by the court in any relevant insolvency proceedings). Except as set forth in this clause (j), no consent of the Supplemental Lenders (except when constituting the Majority Lenders) shall be required for the taking of any action requiring the consent of all the Lenders under Section 12.2 of the Loan Agreement. 6 (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Loan Documents (including without limitation Section 10.2(e) of the Loan Agreement) upon any foreclosure or other realization upon the Collateral (other than the Sponsor Collateral), and upon any realization upon the Guaranties, the other Obligations shall be paid in full and in cash prior to the making of any payment therefrom with respect to the Supplemental Obligations. No amendment, modification or waiver of the Subordination Agreement shall be effective without the consent of all of the Lenders affected thereby. 4. ADJUSTMENTS TO DOMESTIC ELIGIBLE RECEIVABLES. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the portion of the otherwise eligible accounts receivable of GeoLogistics Americas and its Subsidiaries representing prepaid customs duties and prepaid excise taxes paid by GeoLogistics Americas and its Subsidiaries on account of their customers, shall not be reserved from the Domestic Eligible Receivables, PROVIDED that Borrowers shall provide such evidence as may be requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent of such prepayment. 5.
