On or before the Wednesday prior to the first Monday of each Fiscal Month of the Borrower, commencing with the Wednesday prior to the first Monday of October 2010, the Borrower shall deliver an updated budget (for the period of 13 weeks commencing with the first day of such Fiscal Month) (each, a “Proposed Budget”) to Agent. Each such Proposed Budget shall be accompanied by a variance report setting forth actual cash receipts and disbursements from the Petition Date through the last day of the preceding month and all variances, on an aggregate basis and, with respect to Specified Budget Line Items, on a line-item basis, for such period from the amounts set forth for the corresponding period in the preceding Approved Budgets (including explanations for each such material variance), certified by the Chief Restructuring Officer as being prepared in good faith and fairly presenting in all material respects the information set forth therein. Each Proposed Budget provided to Agent shall be of no force and effect unless and until it is approved in writing by the Requisite Lenders, and until such approval is given the prior Approved Budget shall remain in effect and no Credit Party may pay any obligations or expenses (excluding legal fees and expenses) other than as permitted (subject to subsection (b) below) in the Current Period of such prior Approved Budget. The Requisite Lenders shall approve or reject each Proposed Budget within four Business Days after delivery by the Borrower to Agent as set forth above, provided that any failure to approve a Proposed Budget shall constitute a rejection of such Proposed Budget. Any such Proposed Budget, upon the written approval of the Requisite Lenders shall become, as of the date of such approval and for the period of time covered thereby, the Approved Budget, and shall prospectively replace any prior Approved Budget.

In connection with the review of a proposed Annual Budget, the Preferred Board Members may reasonably request additional information regarding the materials supporting the proposed Annual Budget or such other information as is necessary or desirable to enable review of such proposed Annual Budget, and the Asset Manager shall provide such requested information. The Preferred Board Members shall consent to or reject the proposed Annual Budget, or request additional information (as provided for above), within ten (10) Business Days following (i) receipt of such proposed Annual Budget or (ii) receipt of all additional information that is, in the determination of the Preferred Board Members, necessary or desirable to enable review of such proposed Annual Budget.
