Any exercise of the increase option as provided in Section 2.1(b) shall require payment of any additional agency fee required under the Fee Letter, as well as an additional upfront fee and arrangement fee to be mutually agreed upon at the time of the request by the Agent and Borrower.”

Each such request shall (1) specify the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit, (2) the proposed date of expiration, (3) the name of the intended beneficiary thereof, and (4) whether such Letter of Credit is a new standby letter of credit or an extension or renewal thereof. Each standby Letter of Credit requested hereunder shall be in a face amount such that after issuance of such letter of credit (i) the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding plus the Letter of Credit Usage will not exceed the Aggregate Commitments; and (ii) the Letter of Credit Usage will not exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000).

However, any Letter of Credit that remains outstanding after the Maturity Date shall be secured

EXCEPTIONS TO REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In addition to any items disclosed in the preceding schedules, the Borrower provides the following additional disclosures relating to the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement:

TAXES

(LOAN AGREEMENT SECTION 5.12)

The IRS has proposed adjustments totaling $5 million related to interest deductions reported on the Borrower’s tax returns for the 2004 and 2005 tax years. These adjustments would result in an additional federal and state tax liability of $1.8 million. The Borrower is appealing this issue with the IRS, and expects to prevail on this issue. This item is disclosed in Note 9 – Income Taxes in the Financial Statements.

ERISA

(LOAN AGREEMENT SECTION 5.16)

The Borrower sponsors defined benefit plans in France and England. These plans are funded, and the Borrower’s policy is to make annual contributions based on actuarially determined funding requirements. The accumulated benefit obligation of the plans was $6.2 million at January 31, 2009, and the net unfunded pension liability was $1 million.

The Borrower also provides a post-retirement benefit plan, consisting of health care coverage for eligible retirees and qualifying dependents in the United States. This plan is not funded, and the Borrower has no plan to provide funding other than annual contributions, which represent the benefits paid for the year.

CONTINUING GUARANTY

This Guaranty (“Guaranty”) is made as of July 29, 2009, by , a (“Guarantor”) in favor of Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association, as agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Lenders (as defined below) and its successors as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, and together with its successors as agent for the Lenders, the “Agent”).

Factual Background

Guarantor is executing this Guaranty pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated as of February 28, 2003 by and among Cascade Corporation, an Oregon corporation (the “Borrower”), the several financial institutions from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), and Agent, as agent for the Lenders (as amended, restated, modified, renewed, supplemented or extended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Loan Agreement.

Guarantor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Borrower. Guarantor will receive benefit from the loans made by the Lenders in that Borrower provides needed working capital to Guarantor, and Guarantor will obtain a significant portion of that working capital from loans made by the Lenders to Borrower.

1. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guarantee of payment and not merely as a guarantee of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, all obligations of Borrower under or in connection with the Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is or may become a party, whether for principal, interest, costs, fees, expenses, indemnities or otherwise and all obligations of Guarantor existing under this Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which it is or may become a party, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and as the same may from time to time be modified, amended, extended or renewed (including all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon Guarantor and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

2. No Setoff or Deductions. All payments by Guarantor hereunder shall be paid in full, without setoff or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever, including, without limitation, for any and all present and future taxes.

3. No Termination. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of Agent or facilities provided by Agent with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated.

4. Waiver of Notices. Guarantor waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the extension or continuation of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. Guarantor further waives presentment, protest, notice, dishonor or default, demand for payment and any other notices to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled.

5. Subrogation. Guarantor shall exercise no right of subrogation, contribution or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of Agent or facilities provided by Agent with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts are paid to Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and shall forthwith be paid to Agent to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

6. Waiver of Suretyship Defenses. Guarantor agrees that Agent may, at any time and from time to time, and without notice to Guarantor, make any agreement with Borrower or with any other person or entity liable on any of the Guaranteed Obligations or providing collateral as security for the Guaranteed Obligations, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral (in whole or in part), or for any modification or amendment of the terms thereof or of any instrument or agreement evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations or the provision of collateral, all without in any way impairing, releasing, discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower, or any claim that Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrower and waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Agent now has or may hereafter have against Borrower and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Agent. Further, Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of Guarantor.

7. Exhaustion of Other Remedies Not Required. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor waives diligence by Agent and action on delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including, without limitation any provisions of law requiring Agent to exhaust any right or remedy or to take any action against Borrower, any other guarantor or any other person, entity or property before enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor.

8. Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is revoked, terminated, rescinded or reduced or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any other person or entity or otherwise, as if such payment had not been made and whether or not Agent is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.

9. Subordination. Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of Borrower owing to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of Borrower to Guarantor as subrogee of Agent or resulting from Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. If Agent so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by Guarantor as trustee for Agent and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

10. Information. Guarantor agrees to furnish promptly to Agent any and all financial or other information regarding Guarantor or its property as Agent may reasonably request in writing.

11. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any other person or entity, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor immediately upon demand by Agent.

12. Expenses. Guarantor shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and the allocated cost and disbursements of internal legal counsel) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of Agent’s rights under this Guaranty, including any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of Agent in any case commenced by or against Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor statute. The obligations of Guarantor under the preceding sentence shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

13. Amendments. No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by Agent and Guarantor.

14. No Waiver. No failure by Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein.

15. Assignment; Governing Laws; Jurisdiction. This Guaranty shall (a) bind Guarantor and its successors and assigns, provided that Guarantor may not assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of Agent (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void), (b) inure to the benefit of Agent and its successors and assigns and Agent may, without notice to Guarantor and without affecting Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, assign or sell participations in the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, in whole or in part, and (c) be governed by the internal laws of the State of Oregon. Guarantor hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or State court sitting in Multnomah County, Oregon, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and (ii) waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense asserting an inconvenient forum in connection therewith. Service of process by Agent in connection with such action or proceeding shall be binding on Guarantor if sent to Guarantor by registered or certified mail at its address specified below. Guarantor agrees that

Agent may disclose to any prospective purchaser and any purchaser of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all information in Agent’s possession concerning Guarantor, this Guaranty and any security for this Guaranty.

16. Condition of Borrower. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of Borrower as Guarantor requires, and that Agent has no duty, and Guarantor is not relying on Agent at any time, to disclose to Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of Borrower.

17. Setoff. If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, Agent may setoff and charge from time to time any amount so due against any or all of Guarantor’s accounts or deposits with Agent.

18. Other Guarantees. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by Guarantor for the benefit of Agent or any term or provision thereof.

19. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants that (i) it is duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full capacity and right to make and perform this Guaranty, and all necessary authority has been obtained; (ii) this Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms; (iii) the making and performance of this Guaranty does not and will not violate the provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order, and does not and will not result in the breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, any material agreement, instrument, or document to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected; (iv) all consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations of, and filings and registrations with, any governmental authority required under applicable law and regulations for the making and performance of this Guaranty have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect; (v) by virtue of its relationship with Borrower, the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty is for the direct benefit of Guarantor and it has received adequate consideration for this Guaranty; and (vi) the financial information, that has been delivered to Agent by or on behalf of Guarantor, is complete and correct in all respects and accurately presents the financial condition and the operational results of Guarantor and since the date of the most recent financial statements delivered to Agent, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition or operational results of Guarantor.

20. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; FINAL AGREEMENT. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GUARANTOR AND AGENT EACH WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY. THIS GUARANTY REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

21. Security. The Guaranteed Obligations shall be secured by a security interest in all assets of the Guarantor. Contemporaneous with the execution of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall also execute and deliver a Security Agreement granting such a security interest to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, all as defined therein. Guarantor shall provide all such other documentation reasonably required by Agent and the Lenders to document a first priority

perfected security interest in the assets of Guarantor, including, but not limited to, filings in foreign jurisdictions and opinions of counsel. To the extent such documentation is not available upon the date of execution of this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to facilitate this process at its own expense, and shall cause such documentation to be provided to Agent and Lenders within the time period set forth in the Loan Agreement.

(b) Debtor agrees with regard to the Collateral and Proceeds (but not with respect to any property other than Collateral and Proceeds), unless Lenders agree otherwise in writing: (i) that Agent is authorized to file financing statements in the name of Debtor to perfect Agent’s security interest in Collateral and Proceeds; (ii) where applicable, to insure the Collateral with Agent named as loss payee, in form, substance and amounts, under agreements, against risks and liabilities, and with insurance companies, in each case as required by the Loan Documents or in a manner otherwise satisfactory to Agent; (iii) where applicable, to operate the Collateral in accordance with all applicable statutes, rules and regulations relating to the use and control thereof, and not to use any Collateral for any unlawful purpose or in any way that would void any insurance required to be carried in connection therewith; (iv) not to remove the Collateral from Debtor’s premises, except (A) for deliveries to buyers in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business and (B) Collateral which consists of mobile goods as defined in the Oregon Uniform Commercial Code, in which case Debtor agrees not to remove or permit the removal of such Collateral from its state of domicile for a period in excess of thirty (30) calendar days; (v) to pay when due all license fees; registration fees and other charges in connection with any Collateral; (vi) except to the extent expressly permitted in writing by Agent, not to permit any lien on the Collateral or Proceeds, including without limitation, liens arising from repairs to or storage of the Collateral, except in favor of Agent; (vii) not to sell, hypothecate or dispose of, nor permit the transfer by operation of law of, any of the Collateral or Proceeds or any interest therein, except sales of (I) inventory to buyers in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business and (II) Collateral (in addition to inventory) in amounts permitted by Agent; (viii) to permit Agent to inspect the Collateral at any time; (ix) to keep, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, complete and accurate records regarding all Collateral and Proceeds, and to permit Agent or its representatives to inspect the same and make copies thereof at any reasonable time; (x) if requested by Agent, to receive and use reasonable diligence to collect Collateral consisting of accounts and other rights to payment and Proceeds, after an Event of Default, in trust and as the property of Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, and to immediately endorse as appropriate and deliver such Collateral and Proceeds to Agent daily in the exact form in which they are received together with a collection report in form satisfactory to Agent; (xi) not to commingle Collateral or Proceeds, or collections thereunder, with other property except for Proceeds deposited in Debtor’s account(s) maintained at Agent. As used herein the prohibition on commingling of Collateral refers to combining or intermixing Equipment or inventory in which Agent is granted a security interest pursuant to this Agreement with other property in which Agent has no security interest if the effect of such combining or intermixing is that the property in which Agent is not granted a security interest hereunder cannot be differentiated and separated from the Collateral in which Agent is granted a security interest pursuant to this Agreement; (xii) to give only allowances and credits on accounts in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business and to advise Agent and each Secured Creditor of the same immediately in writing if they affect any rights to payment or Proceeds in any material respect; (xiii) from time to time, when requested by Agent, to prepare and deliver a schedule of all Collateral and Proceeds subject to this Agreement, and to assign in writing and deliver to Agent all accounts, contracts, leases and other chattel paper, instruments, documents and other evidences thereof, (xiv) in the event Agent elects to receive payments or rights to payment or Proceeds hereunder to

pay all reasonable expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith; including reasonable expenses of accounting, correspondence, collection efforts, reporting to account or contract debtors, filing, recording, record keeping and expenses incidental thereto; and (xv) to provide any service and do any other acts which may be necessary to maintain, preserve and protect all Collateral and, as appropriate and applicable, to keep all Collateral in good and saleable condition, to deal with the Collateral in accordance with the standards and practices adhered to generally by users and manufacturers of like property, and to keep all Collateral and Proceeds free and clear of all defenses, rights of offset and counterclaims.

14. POWERS OF AGENT. Debtor appoints Agent its true attorney in fact to perform any of the following powers, which are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until termination of this Agreement and may be exercised from time to time by Agent’s officers and employees, or any of them: (a) to perform any obligation of Debtor hereunder in Debtor’s name or otherwise; (b) to give notice to account debtors or others of Agent’s rights in the Collateral and Proceeds, to enforce or forebear from enforcing the same and make extension and modification agreements with respect thereto; (c) to release persons liable on Collateral or Proceeds and to give receipts and acquittances and compromise disputes in connection therewith; (d) to release or substitute security; (e) to resort to security in any order; (f) to prepare, execute, file, record or deliver notes, assignments, schedules, designation statements, financing statements, continuation statements, termination statements, statements of assignment, applications for registration or like papers to perfect, preserve or release Agent’s interest in the Collateral and Proceeds; (g) to receive, open and read mail addressed to Debtor; (h) to take cash; instruments for the payment of money and other property to which Agent is entitled; (i) to verify facts concerning the Collateral and Proceeds by inquiry of obligors thereon, or otherwise, in its own name or a fictitious name; (j) to endorse, collect, deliver and receive payment under instruments for the payment of money constituting or relating to Proceeds; (k) to prepare, adjust, execute, deliver and receive payment under insurance claims, and to collect and receive payment of and endorse any instrument in payment of loss or returned premiums or any other insurance refund or return, and to apply such amounts received by Agent or any Secured Creditor toward repayment of the Obligations in the manner specified by the Loan Agreement or, where appropriate and if approved by Majority Lenders, replacement of the Collateral; (l) to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which Debtor would have, but for this Agreement, with respect to all Collateral and Proceeds subject hereto; (m) to enter onto Debtor’s premises in inspecting the Collateral; (n) to make withdrawals from and to close deposit accounts or other accounts with any financial institution, wherever located, into which Proceeds may have been deposited, and to apply funds so withdrawn to payment of the Obligations; (o) to preserve or release the interest evidenced by chattel paper to which Agent is entitled hereunder and to endorse and deliver any evidence of title incidental thereto; and (p) to do all acts and things and execute all documents in the name of Debtor or otherwise, deemed by Agent as necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of its rights hereunder. Agent shall exercise its rights as attorney in fact under this Agreement only upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default (as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement).

15. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS, TAXES, CHARGES, LIENS AND ASSESSMENTS. Debtor agrees to pay, when due, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges, liens and assessments (collectively, the “Assessments”) against the Collateral and Proceeds, and upon

the failure of Debtor to do so, Agent or any Secured Creditor at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same. Any such payments made by Agent or any Secured Creditor shall be obligations of Debtor to Agent or such Secured Creditor, due and payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the Collateral and Proceeds, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Assessments that are payable in installments may be paid in installments as long as each installment is paid by its due date. Further, Debtor may withhold payment and diligently contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, the amount or validity of any Assessments as long as Debtor provides Agent and each Secured Creditor with prior written notice of the contest in cases where the amount in controversy exceeds $1,000,000 and if Agent or any Secured Creditor so requests, provides a bond or other security acceptable to Agent and Lenders.

OREGON STATUTORY WARNING

WARNING: UNLESS YOU PROVIDE US WITH EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE AS REQUIRED BY OUR CONTRACT OR LOAN AGREEMENT, WE MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT YOUR EXPENSE TO PROTECT OUR INTEREST. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, ALSO PROTECT YOUR INTEREST. IF THE COLLATERAL BECOMES DAMAGED, THE COVERAGE WE PURCHASE MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM YOU MAKE OR ANY CLAIM MADE AGAINST YOU. YOU MAY LATER CANCEL THIS COVERAGE BY PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED PROPERTY COVERAGE ELSEWHERE.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY US. THE COST OF THIS INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO YOUR CONTRACT OR LOAN BALANCE. IF THE COST IS ADDED TO YOUR CONTRACT OR LOAN BALANCE, THE INTEREST RATE ON THE UNDERLYING CONTRACT OR LOAN WILL APPLY TO THIS ADDED AMOUNT. THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE MAY BE THE DATE YOUR PRIOR COVERAGE LAPSED OR THE DATE YOU FAILED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF COVERAGE.

THE COVERAGE WE PURCHASE MAY BE CONSIDERABLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN INSURANCE YOU CAN OBTAIN ON YOUR OWN AND MAY NOT SATISFY ANY NEED FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE COVERAGE OR ANY MANDATORY LIABILITY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW. (Each reference to “you” and “your” shall refer to Debtor and each reference to “us” and “we” shall refer to Agent.)

or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Agent shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder or under the Loan Documents shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Agent or any Secured Creditor of any default hereunder or under the Loan Documents, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing.

With respect to any sale or other disposition by Agent of any Collateral subject to this Agreement, Debtor hereby expressly grants to Agent the right to sell such Collateral using any or all of Debtor’s trademarks, trade names, trade name rights and/or proprietary labels or marks. Debtor further agrees that Agent shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.

18. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In disposing of Collateral hereunder, Agent may disclaim all warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Agent to the payment of expenses and fees incurred by or owed to Agent, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be distributed by Agent toward the payment of the Obligations in such order of application as may be required by the Loan Documents. Upon the appointment of a new Agent, Agent shall transfer all of the Collateral or Proceeds and shall be fully discharged from all liability and responsibility with respect to the Collateral so transferred and all acts of the successor Agent upon and after acceptance of its appointment, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights and powers of Agent hereunder with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred.

19. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all Obligations shall have been paid in full and all commitments by the Secured Creditors to extend credit to Debtor pursuant to the Loan Documents have been terminated, the power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to Agent hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Agent at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the personal liability of Debtor may have ceased, unless such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Obligations secured hereunder.

20. MISCELLANEOUS WAIVERS. Debtor hereby waives any right to require Agent or any Secured Creditor to (i) proceed against Debtor or any other person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security from Debtor or any other person, (iii) perform any obligation of Debtor with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, and (d) except as specifically required under

other provisions of this Agreement, make any presentment or demand, or give any notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any Collateral or Proceeds. Debtor further waives any right to direct the application of payments or security for any Obligations of Debtor or indebtedness of customers of Debtor.

All of the foregoing shall be paid by Debtor with interest from the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to (i) for so long as Bank of America is the Agent, the Default Rate specified in the Loan Agreement, or (ii) if Bank of America is not the Agent, at the rate per annum equal to 12%. Notwithstanding anything apparently to the contrary in this Section 15, if Agent demands payment of any of the costs, expenses and attorney fees described in this Section 15 in the absence of an Event of Default, then Debtor shall have 30 days from the date of such demand to make such payment and if no Event of Default has occurred during that 30 day period, Debtor may make such payment within that 30 day period without having to pay interest on such payment.
