If Letters of Credit may be requested, check here: ☒ and attach Letter of Credit Rider following signature page hereof.

1. Using the Account.  All loans and advances from the Loan Account are referred to in this Agreement as “Loans”.  Loan requests must be made in writing or by telephone and confirmed in writing (including by facsimile or e‑mail) by the Company and, if required, Sun Capital Partners V, L.P. (the “Sun Guarantor”) and shall be sent to the Company’s Bank of Montreal Account Officer or Client Services Officer no later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of the proposed borrowing in order to be honored the same day.  Loan proceeds shall be credited to the Company’s deposit account at BMO Xxxxxx Bank N.A. unless the Lender is directed otherwise by special written directions from the Company.  The amount of each Loan requested shall be at least the minimum amount shown above, and the Lender shall have the right to refuse to honor any Loan requested by the Company which is less than that minimum amount, even if the Lender has previously honored a Loan request for less than the minimum amount.  The Company shall not request any Loan or letter of credit which, when taken together with the then Outstanding Obligations, would exceed the Maximum Credit.  The Company shall furnish to the Lender certificates in the form of Exhibit A attached to the Sun Guaranty described in Section 4 hereof at the times set forth in the Sun Guaranty, properly completed and duly certified by the Sun Guarantor.  If Loans or letters of credit are secured directly or indirectly by securities traded on a national exchange or by other “margin stock” (as defined by the Federal Reserve Board in Regulation U), then the Company promises to furnish the Lender a duly executed and completed Form U‑1 statement and agrees that the proceeds of Loans or other extensions of credit from the Loan Account will not be used to purchase or carry stock, convertible bonds or warrants unless the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Lender.  In no event shall the proceeds of any Loans be utilized to finance participation in a hostile tender offer or similar transaction or to finance an acquisition of securities in anticipation of such a hostile transaction.

Loans and letters of credit will be made available from the Loan Account subject to the Lender’s approval on a case-by-case basis as and when Loans and letters of credit are requested by the Company.

-2-

All Loans and letters of credit shall be made against and evidenced by the Company’s promissory note payable to the order of the Lender in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Note”).  The Lender agrees that the Note shall evidence only the actual Outstanding Obligations pursuant hereto.  All Loans and other extensions of credit made against the Note and the status of all amounts evidenced by the Note shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and records or, at its option in any instance, endorsed on a schedule to the Note and the unpaid principal balance and status and rates so recorded or endorsed by the Lender shall be prima facie evidence in any court or other proceeding brought to enforce the Note of the principal amount remaining unpaid thereon, the status of the Loans and other extensions of credit evidenced thereby and the interest rates applicable thereto, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Lender to record any of the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company to repay the principal amount of the Note together with accrued interest thereon. The Lender agrees that if it transfers or assigns the Note, the Lender will stamp thereon a statement of the actual principal amount evidenced thereby at the time of transfer.  The Company agrees that in any action or proceeding instituted to collect or enforce collection of the Note, the amount shown as owing the Lender on its records shall be prima facie evidence of the unpaid balance of principal and interest on the Note, absent manifest error.

2. Interest.  The Company shall pay the Lender interest on the unpaid principal balance of Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Accrued interest will be billed quarterly, and will be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each quarter (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) for interest accrued through the last day of the previous quarter.  Interest for each billing period is computed by applying a daily periodic rate based on the greater of (a) the Lender’s Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Margin or (b) the LIBOR Quoted Rate plus the LIBOR Margin to each day’s ending Loan balance.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed.  The Lender’s Prime Rate reflects market rates of interest as well as other factors, and it is not necessarily the Lender’s best or lowest rate.  The daily Loan balance shall be computed by taking the principal balance of Loans at the beginning of each day, adding any Loans posted to the Loan Account that day, and subtracting any principal payments posted to the Loan Account as of that day.  Interest begins to accrue on the date a Loan is posted to the Loan Account.  The principal balance of Loans which remains unpaid after demand for repayment shall bear interest until paid in full at a post‑maturity rate determined by adding the rate of 2.00% per annum to the interest rate otherwise applicable to the Loans (determined as aforesaid).  The interest rate payable under this Agreement shall be subject, however, to the limitation that such interest rate shall never exceed the highest rate which the Company may contract to pay under applicable law.  Interest on the Loans shall, at the option of the Company and subject to the following terms and conditions, be payable either (i) in immediately available funds on each Interest Payment Date in accordance with this Section 2, or (ii) through a Loan on each Interest Payment Date or (iii) by any combination of the methods described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) selected by the Company which results in such methods being applied in the satisfaction in full of all interest due on the Loans on such Interest Payment Date:

(A) Unless the Company notifies the Lender by 11:00 a.m. Chicago time on the applicable Interest Payment Date that the Company intends to pay the interest due on the Loans on such Interest Payment Date with funds not borrowed under this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have irrevocably requested a Loan on each Interest Payment Date in the amount of the interest then due on the Loans, in each case subject to the provisions of this Agreement (other than the requirement that a Loan be in a certain minimum amount), which new Loan shall be applied to pay the interest then due on the Loans.  In the event the Company has elected to pay the interest due on the Loans with funds not borrowed under this Agreement and the Company fails to make any such

-3-

payment within twenty (20) days of the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Lender may in its sole discretion deem the Company to have irrevocably requested a Loan in the amount of the interest then due on the Loans, in each case subject to the provisions of this Agreement (other than the requirement that a Loan be in a certain minimum amount) which new Loans shall be applied to pay the interest then due on the Loans.

(B) Each payment of interest by a borrowing of a Loan shall be evidenced by the Note, shall bear interest from the date made at a rate per annum equal at all times to the rate then applicable to the Loans, payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date (commencing on the first of such dates following such issuance) and, subject to the provisions of Section 9 herein, on demand.  

(C) In no event shall the Outstanding Obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, each borrowing of a Loan to pay interest then due on the Loans, exceed the Maximum Credit.

3. Fees.  The Company agrees to pay to the Lender a non-refundable closing fee in the amount of $15,000, due and payable upon the closing of this Agreement.

4. Guaranty.  The Sun Guarantor shall at all times guarantee the payment of all Loans made (both for principal and interest) and letters of credit issued pursuant to this Agreement and the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Note and any and all applications and indemnity agreements for letters of credit delivered in connection with the issuance of letters of credit hereunder (together, the “Applications”) under that certain Guaranty of the Sun Guarantor dated as of even date herewith in favor of the Lender (as may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Sun Guaranty”).  The Company hereby acknowledges that the Sun Guaranty being provided by the Sun Guarantor is a material inducement to the Lender’s extension of credit hereunder and that in determining whether or not to extend additional credit to the Company and whether or not to demand repayment of this Loan, the Lender will be considering issues related to the continued creditworthiness and liquidity position of the Sun Guarantor.  

5. Maturity Date; Payments.  The Company shall pay to the Lender the principal balance of outstanding Loans together with any accrued interest On Demand, provided that to the extent funds are not immediately available, the Company shall have ten (10) Business Days to honor any demand for payment hereunder, provided, further that any borrowing of a Loan (other than for the purpose of payment of letter of credit fees or legal fees and expenses) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of such borrowing, and shall post cash collateral in an amount equal to 100% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn stated amount of the letters of credit and any unreimbursed draws thereunder On Demand. Payments received by the Lender on the Loans shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to the principal balance of outstanding Loans unless otherwise directed.  If any payment from the Company under this Agreement becomes due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next Business Day and any such extension shall be included in computing interest under this Agreement.

6. Periodic Statements.  The Lender will furnish the Company with a quarterly statement for each billing period which has any transaction or balance.  

7. Financial Statements. The Company agrees to furnish financial information of the Company to the Lender upon request of the Lender from time to time.  Such information shall be furnished as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event within thirty (30) days after request by the Lender.

8. Representations and Warranties.  In consideration of establishing and maintaining the Loan Account, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that:  (a) the Company is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization; (b) the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the Note, any Application delivered in connection with the issuance of letters of credit pursuant hereto, and any and all documents executed in connection with any of the foregoing (together, the “Loan Documents”) are within its powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not contravene the Company’s articles of organization or operating agreement or any law or contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Company; (c) no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the Company’s due execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party; (d) this Agreement is, and all other Loan Documents to which it is a party when executed and delivered by the Company will be, the Company’s legal, valid, and binding obligation enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal debtor relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and the availability of equitable remedies; (e) the Company is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no proceeds of the Loans will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock; and (f) there is no pending or threatened action or proceeding affecting the Company before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, which may materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or operations or which purports to affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

9. Demand Obligation; Enforcement.  The Loans are payable “On Demand”; provided that to the extent funds are not immediately available, the Company shall have ten (10) Business Days to honor any demand for payment hereunder; provided, further that any borrowing of a Loan (other than for the purpose of payment of letter of credit fees or legal fees and expenses) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of such borrowing.  Accordingly, the Lender can demand payment in full of the Loans and can demand the posting of cash collateral with respect to the letters of credit in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion even if the Company has complied with all of the terms of this Agreement.

No delay by the Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  The Company agrees to pay to the Lender all reasonable expenses incurred or paid by the Lender in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the Loan Account and the collection of the Loans and any amounts due with respect to letters of credit and any court costs and other reasonable amounts due under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.  The Lender shall have the right at any time to set‑off the balance of any deposit account that the Company may at any time maintain with the Lender against any amounts at any time owing under this Agreement, whether or not the balance of Loans or reimbursement or other obligations with respect to letters of credit under this Agreement are then due.

10. Termination; Renewal.  The availability of additional Loans and letters of credit under this Agreement will automatically terminate On Demand.  The Lender reserves the right at any time without notice to terminate

the Loan Account, suspend the Company’s borrowing privileges or refuse any Loan or letter of credit request even though the Company has complied with all of the terms under this Agreement.  The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time effective upon receipt by the Lender of at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice.  No termination under this Section shall affect the Lender’s rights or the Company’s obligations regarding payment or default under this Agreement.  Such termination shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay all Loans and other obligations and the interest accrued through the date of final payment.  The Lender may also elect to honor Loan and letter of credit requests after termination of this Agreement, and the Company agrees that any such payment or issuance, as applicable, by the Lender shall constitute a Loan to the Company or a letter of credit issued at the request of the Company under this Agreement, as applicable.

Letter of Credit Rider

This Letter of Credit Rider is hereby made an integral part of and deemed by the parties hereto to be incorporated within the foregoing Loan Authorization Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2017 (the “Agreement”), between Bank of Montreal (“Lender”) and Xxxxx, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).

In consideration of the agreement by the Lender to consider issuing letters of credit applied for by the Company pursuant to the Agreement as more fully described herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. The Company may, in addition to requesting that the Lender make Loans under the Agreement, also request that the Lender issue letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Company under the Agreement in a stated amount not to exceed the Maximum Credit (as set forth in the Agreement) at any one time.  The Maximum Credit under the Agreement shall be deemed utilized by Letters of Credit by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate undrawn stated amount of the Letters of Credit plus (ii) any unreimbursed draws thereunder (such sum, the “L/C Obligations”).

2. The issuance of the Letters of Credit under the Agreement shall be at the Lender’s sole discretion and shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Company and the Lender shall mutually agree upon at the issuance thereof.  The Company shall request a Letter of Credit by completing an application and indemnity agreement therefor (an “Application”) on the standard form of the Lender then in use for such type of Letters of Credit.

3. The Company shall pay to the Lender a fee for the Letters of Credit at the rate set forth in the Application therefor (computed on the basis of a 365 day year for the actual number of days elapsed).  In addition, the Company shall pay to the Lender its standard issuance, drawing, negotiation, amendment, and other administrative fees relating to the Letters of Credit at the rates in effect from time to time.

4. Letter of Credit fees or L/C Obligations shall, at the option of the Company and subject to the following terms and conditions, be payable either (i) in immediately available funds on the date a Letter of Credit is drawn upon (the “L/C Payment Date”), or (ii) through a Loan which the Company hereby promises to pay in accordance with the Agreement, or (iii) by any combination of the methods described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) selected by the Company which results in such methods being applied in the satisfaction in full of all Letter of Credit fees or L/C Obligations due on such L/C Payment Date:

(A) Unless the Company notifies the Lender that the Company intends to pay the Letter of Credit fees or L/C Obligations due on such applicable L/C Payment Date with funds not borrowed under the Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have irrevocably requested a Loan on such L/C Payment Date in the amount of the fees and reimbursement obligations then due on the Letters of Credit, in each case subject to the provisions of the Agreement (other than the requirement that a Loan be in a certain minimum amount), which new Loan shall be applied to pay the fees and reimbursement obligations then due on the Letters of Credit.  In the event the Company has elected to pay the Letter of Credit fees and L/C Obligations with funds not borrowed under the Agreement and the Company fails to make any such payment within twenty (20) days of the applicable L/C Payment Date, the Lender may in its sole discretion deem the Company to have irrevocably requested a Loan on each L/C Payment Date in the amount of the fees and reimbursement obligations then due on the Letters of Credit, in each case subject to the provisions of the Agreement

(other than the requirement that a Loan be in a certain minimum amount), which new Loan shall be applied to pay the fees and reimbursement obligations then due on the Letters of Credit.  

(B) Each payment of Letter of Credit fees or L/C Obligations by a borrowing of a Loan shall be evidenced by the Note, shall bear interest from the date made at the rate then applicable under the Agreement, payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date (commencing on the first of such dates following such issuance) and, subject to the provisions of Section 5 of the Agreement, on demand.  

(C) In no event shall the Outstanding Obligations (as defined in the Agreement), including, without limitation, each borrowing of a Loan to pay interest then due on the Loans or to pay Letter of Credit fees or L/C Obligations, exceed the Maximum Credit.

5. The representations and warranties of the Company in the Agreement shall be deemed to be made by the Company on each day an Application is executed by the Company, and shall be deemed to refer to each Application in the same manner and to the same extent as they refer to the Agreement and the Note.

6. At any time during the term of the Agreement, the Lender may require that the Company deliver to the Lender, and the Company hereby agrees to deliver to the Lender at any such time, cash collateral to secure the Company’s obligations under the Applications in an amount not less than 100% of the amount of L/C Obligations outstanding at such time.  At any time when the availability of additional Loans under the Agreement terminates pursuant to the terms thereof, the Company will no longer be permitted to request the issuance of Letters of Credit thereunder.

7. The Lender may, at its option, elect to issue Letters of Credit at such of its branches or offices as the Lender may from time to time elect.
