CREDIT AGREEMENT This Credit Agreement, dated as of May 28, 2003, (this Agreement) among the financial institutions from time to time parties hereto (such financial institutions, together with their respective successors and assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a Lender and collectively as the Lenders), Bank One, NA having its principal office at 120 S. LaSalle Street, Chicago, IL 60603, as agent for the Lenders (in its capacity as agent, the Agent), and OMNOVA Solutions Inc., an Ohio corporation, with offices at 175 Ghent Road, Fairlawn, Ohio 44333 (the Borrower). W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested the Lenders to make available to the Borrower a revolving line of credit for loans and letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $100,000,000, which extensions of credit the Borrower will use for the purposes permitted hereunder; WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein; the rules of construction contained therein shall govern the interpretation of this Agreement, and all Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference; WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower a revolving credit facility upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Lenders, the Agent, and the Borrower hereby agree as follows. ARTICLE 1 LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT 1.1 Total Facility. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make available a total credit facility of up to $100,000,000 (the Total Facility) to the Borrower from time to time during the term of this Agreement. The Total Facility shall be composed of a revolving line of credit consisting of Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit described herein. 1.2 Revolving Loans. (a) (i) Amounts. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, upon the Borrowers request from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, to make revolving loans, including, without duplication, Swing Line Loans (the Revolving Loans) to the Borrower in amounts not to exceed such Lenders Pro Rata Share of Availability, except for Agent Advances. The Lenders, however, in their unanimous discretion, may elect to make Revolving Loans or issue or arrange to have issued
Letters of Credit in excess of the Borrowing Base on one or more occasions, but if they do so, neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of the Borrowing Base or to be obligated to exceed such limits on any other occasion. If any Borrowing would exceed Availability, the Lenders may refuse to make or may otherwise restrict the making of Revolving Loans as the Lenders determine until such excess has been eliminated, subject to the Agents authority, in its sole discretion, to make Agent Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2(i). (ii) Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender a note to evidence the Revolving Loan of that Lender. Each note shall be in the principal amount of the Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments, dated the date hereof and substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 (each a Revolving Loan Note and, collectively, the Revolving Loan Notes). Each Revolving Loan Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments, or, if less, such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans to Borrower together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.2. The entire unpaid balance of the Revolving Loan and all other non-contingent Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Termination Date. (b) Procedure for Borrowing. (1) Each Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrowers irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing (Notice of Borrowing), which must be received by the Agent prior to (i) 12:00 noon (Chicago time) three Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of Eurodollar Revolving Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the requested Funding Date, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans, specifying: (A) the amount of the Borrowing, which in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan must equal or exceed $5,000,000 (and increments of $1,000,000 in excess of such amount) and which in the case of Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans must equal or exceed $100,000 (and increments of $100,000 in excess of that amount); (B) the requested Funding Date, which must be a Business Day; (C) whether the Revolving Loans requested are to be Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loan); and (D) the duration of the Interest Period for Eurodollar Revolving Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one month); provided, however, that with respect to the Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, such Borrowings will consist of Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans only. (2) In lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may give the Agent telephonic notice of such request for advances to the Designated Account on 2
or before the deadline set forth above. The Agent at all times shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice in making such Revolving Loans, regardless of whether any written confirmation is received. (3) The Borrower shall have no right to request a Eurodollar Revolving Loan while a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. (c) Reliance upon Authority. Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, a notice setting forth the account of the Borrower (Designated Account) to which the Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Revolving Loans requested hereunder. The Borrower may designate a replacement account from time to time by written notice. All such Designated Accounts must be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent is entitled to rely conclusively on any persons request for Revolving Loans on behalf of the Borrower, so long as the proceeds thereof are to be transferred to the Designated Account. The Agent has no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing himself or herself as a person authorized by the Borrower to make such requests on its behalf. (d) No Liability. The Agent shall not incur any liability to the Borrower as a result of acting upon any notice referred to in Sections 1.2(b) and (c), which the Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an officer or other person duly authorized by the Borrower to request Revolving Loans on its behalf. The crediting of Revolving Loans to the Designated Account conclusively establishes the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Loans as provided herein. (e) Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be irrevocable. The Borrower shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith. (f) Agents Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Agent shall elect to have the terms of Section 1.2(g) or the terms of Section 1.2(h) apply to such requested Borrowing. If the Bank declines in its sole discretion to make a Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 1.2(h), the terms of Section 1.2(g) shall apply to the requested Borrowing. (g) Making of Revolving Loans. If Agent elects to have the terms of this Section 1.2(g) apply to a requested Borrowing, then promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice in lieu thereof, the Agent shall notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone or e-mail of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall transfer its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Agent in immediately available funds, to the account from time to time designated by Agent, not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the applicable Funding Date. After the Agents receipt of all proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to the account designated by the Borrower; provided, however, that the amount of Revolving Loans so made on any date shall not exceed the Availability on such date. 3
(h) Making of Swing Line Loans. (A) If Agent elects, with the consent of the Bank, to have the terms of this Section 1.2(h) apply to a requested Borrowing, the Bank shall make a Revolving Loan in the amount of that Borrowing available to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to Borrowers Designated Account. Each Revolving Loan made solely by the Bank pursuant to this Section is herein referred to as a Swing Line Loan, and such Revolving Loans are collectively referred to as the Swing Line Loans. Each Swing Line Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Revolving Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Bank solely for its own account. The aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000 (the Swing Line Commitment). The Agent shall not request the Bank to make any Swing Line Loan if (1) the Agent has received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed Availability on that Funding Date. (B) The Swing Line Loans shall be secured by the Agents Liens in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans and Obligations hereunder. (C) Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank a promissory note to evidence the Swing Line Commitment. Such note shall be in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment of the Bank, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 (the Swing Line Note). The Swing Line Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay the amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Swing Line Loans made to Borrower together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.1. (i) Agent Advances. (A) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Agent is authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agents sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have not been satisfied, to make Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loans to the Borrower on behalf of the Lenders in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $5,000,000 (but not to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount) which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 13.7 (any of such advances are herein referred to as Agent Advances); provided, that the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Agents authorization to make Agent Advances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Agents receipt thereof.
