THE INDEBTEDNESS: Revolving Credit

2.1 Bank agrees to make Advances to Companies at any time and from time to time from the effective date hereof until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, not to exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) in aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding. All of the Advances under this Section 2 shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note under which Advances, repayments and readvances may be made, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.2 The Revolving Credit Note shall mature on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and each Advance from time to time outstanding thereunder shall bear interest at its Applicable Interest Rate. The amount and date of each Advance, its Applicable Interest Rate, its Interest Period, if applicable, and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Bank’s records, which records will be conclusive evidence thereof absent demonstrable error.

2.3 Companies may request an Advance under this Section 2 upon the delivery to Bank of a Request for Advance executed by an authorized officer of Companies, subject to the following:

(a)

each such Request for Advance shall set forth the information required on the Request for Advance form annexed hereto as Exhibit “A”;

(b)

each such Request for Advance shall be delivered to Bank by 11:00 a.m. on the proposed date of Advance;

(c)

the principal amount of such Advance, plus the amount of any outstanding indebtedness to be then combined therewith having the same Applicable Interest Rate and Interest Period, if any, shall be in the case of a Eurodollar-based Advance at least $500,000 or any larger amount in $50,000 increments;

(d)

the principal amount of such Advance, plus the sum of the amount of all other outstanding Advances under this Section 2, and the Letter of Credit Reserve shall not exceed the formula set forth in Section 2.5 below;

(e)

a Request for Advance, once delivered to Bank, shall not be revocable by Companies.

Bank may, at its option, lend under this Section 2 upon the telephone request of an authorized officer of Companies and, in the event Bank makes any such advance upon a telephone request, the requesting officer shall, if so requested by Bank, mail to Bank, on the same day as such telephone request, a Request for Advance in the form attached as Exhibit “A”. Companies hereby authorize Bank to disburse Advances under this Section 2 pursuant to the telephone instructions of any person purporting to be an authorized officer of Companies and Companies shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone request. Each telephone request for an Advance shall constitute a certification of the matters set forth in the Request for Advance form as of the date of such requested Advance.

2.4 Companies may prepay all or part of the outstanding balance of the Prime-based Advance(s) under the Revolving Credit Note at any time. Upon one (1) Business Day prior notice to Bank, Companies may prepay all or part of any Eurodollar-based Advance, provided that the amount of any such partial prepayment shall be at least $250,000 and the unpaid portion of such Advance which is refunded or converted under Section 4.3 shall be subject to the limitations of Section 2.3(c) hereof. Any prepayment of a Prime-based Advance or a Eurodollar-based Advance on the last day of the Interest Period therefor made in accordance with this Section shall be without premium, penalty or prejudice to Companies’ right to reborrow under the terms of this Agreement. Any other prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof.

2.5 The aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under the Revolving Credit Note plus the Letter of Credit Reserve shall never exceed the Borrowing Base. Companies shall immediately make all payments necessary to comply with this provision. Any such payments shall be applied first to outstanding Prime-based Advances and the remainder, if any, to outstanding Eurodollar-based Advances.

2.6 In addition to Advances under the Revolving Credit Note to be provided to Companies by Bank under and pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement, Bank further agrees to issue, or commit to issue, from time to time, standby letters of credit for the account of Companies on a joint and several basis (herein individually called a “Letter of Credit” and collectively “Letters of Credit”) in aggregate undrawn amounts not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) at any one time outstanding; provided, however that the sum of the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding under the Revolving Credit Note plus the Letter of Credit Reserve shall not exceed, subject to Section 2.9, Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) at any one time; and provided further that no Letter of Credit shall, by its terms, have an expiration date which extends beyond the fifth (5th) Business Day before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or one (1) year after issuance, whichever first occurs. In addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the issuance of any Letters of Credit shall also be subject to the terms and conditions of any letter of credit applications and agreements executed and delivered by Companies to Bank with respect thereto. Companies shall pay to Bank quarterly in arrears a per annum fee equal to the Applicable L/C Commission Rate of the amount of each standby Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable on the first day of each July, October, January and April.

2.7 Companies agree to pay to Bank a facility fee on the average daily balance of the revolving credit commitment at the rate of the Applicable Fee Percentage per annum, computed on the actual number of days elapsed using a year of 360 days. The facility fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each July, October, January and April (commencing April 1, 2010) and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

2.8 Companies may upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Bank (but not more frequently than twice during any period of 12 consecutive months), permanently reduce the revolving credit commitment in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty, provided that: (i) each partial reduction of the revolving credit commitment shall be in an aggregate amount equal to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) or a larger integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); (ii) Companies shall prepay in accordance with the terms hereof the amount, if any, by which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Advances outstanding hereunder, plus the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, exceeds the amount of the then applicable revolving credit commitment as so reduced, together with interest thereon to the date of prepayment; and (iii) no reduction shall reduce the revolving credit commitment to an amount which is less than the aggregate undrawn amount of any Letters of Credit outstanding at such time. Reductions of the revolving credit commitment will not be available for reinstatement by or readvance to the Companies.

2.9 Companies may request that the revolving credit commitment be increased in an aggregate amount (for all such requests under this Section 2.9) not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), subject to the satisfaction concurrently with or prior to the date of each such request of the following conditions:

(a)

Companies shall have delivered to the Bank a written request for such increase, specifying the amount of increase thereby requested (each such request, a “Request for Increase”); provided, however, that in the event Companies have previously delivered a Request for Increase pursuant to this Section 2.9, Companies may not deliver a subsequent Request for Increase until all the conditions to effectiveness of such first Request for Increase have been fully satisfied (or such Request for Increase has been withdrawn); and provided further that Companies may make no more than two Requests for Increase;

(b)

Bank shall have consented to the increase in the revolving credit commitment (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Bank);

(c)

If requested, Companies shall have executed and delivered to Bank a new Revolving Credit Note payable to Bank in the face amount of the revolving credit commitment (after giving effect to the Request for Increase);

(d)

no Event of Default (or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(e)

such other amendments, acknowledgments, consents, documents, instruments, and registrations, if any, shall have been executed and delivered and/or obtained by Companies as required by Bank, in its reasonable discretion.

2.10 Proceeds of Advances under the Revolving Credit Note shall be used solely for working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes.

INTEREST, INTEREST PERIODS, CONVERSIONS, PREPAYMENTS.

3.1 The Revolving Credit Note and the Advances thereunder shall bear interest from the date thereof on the unpaid principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding, at a rate per annum equal to the Prime-based Rate or the Eurodollar-based Rate, as the Companies may elect subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Interest shall be payable monthly on the first Business Day of each month, commencing on the first Business Day following the month during which such Advance is made, and at maturity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and solely during the continuation thereof, the Advances shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to: (i) in the case of Prime-based Advances, two percent (2%) above the Prime-based Rate; and (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar-based Advance, two percent (2%) above the rate which would otherwise be applicable under this Section 3.1 until the earlier of (A) the waiver by Bank, or the cure by the Borrowers, of the Event of Default and (B) the end of the then current Interest Period, at which time such Advance shall bear interest at the rate provided for in clause (i) of this Section 3.1. Interest on all Advances shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The interest rate with respect to any Prime-based Advance shall change on the effective date of any change in the Prime-based Rate.

3.2 Each Interest Period for a Eurodollar-based Advance shall commence on the date such Eurodollar-based Advance is made or is converted from an Advance of another type pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof or on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period for such Eurodollar-based Advance, and shall end on the date one, two or three months thereafter, as the Companies may elect as set forth below, subject to the following:

(i)

no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; and

(ii)

any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the next succeeding Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case, such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day and when an Interest Period begins on a day which has no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month during which such Interest Period is to end, it shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month.

The Companies shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar-based Advance by its Request for Advance given to the Bank pursuant to Section 2.3 or by its notice of conversion given to the Bank pursuant to Section 3.3, as the case may be. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Companies may elect to continue an Advance as a Eurodollar-based Advance by giving irrevocable written, telephonic or telegraphic notice thereof to the Bank, before 11:00 a.m. on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar-based Advance, specifying the duration of the succeeding Interest Period therefor. If the Bank does not receive timely notice of the election and the Interest Period elected by the Companies, the Companies shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar-based Advance to a Prime-based Advance at the end of the then current Interest Period. No more than three (3) Interest Periods shall be in effect at any one time with respect to the Revolving Credit Note.

3.3 Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Companies may, on any Business Day, convert any outstanding Advance into an Advance of another type in the same aggregate principal amount, provided that any conversion of a Eurodollar-based Advance shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Advance. If the Companies desire to convert an Advance, they shall give the Bank written, telephonic or telegraphic notice, specifying the date of such conversion, the Advances to be converted, the type of Advance elected and, if the conversion is into a Eurodollar-based Advance, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor, which notice shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. on the applicable date of conversion.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS, CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES AND YIELD PROTECTION.

4.1 If Companies make any payment of principal with respect to any Eurodollar-based Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntarily, by acceleration, or otherwise), or if Companies fail to borrow any Eurodollar-based Advance after notice has been given by Companies to Bank in accordance with the terms hereof requesting such Advance, or if Companies fail to make any payment of principal or interest when due in respect of a Eurodollar-based Advance, Companies shall reimburse Bank on demand for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred by Bank as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying deposits from third parties, whether or not Bank shall have funded or committed to fund such Advance. Such amount payable by Companies to Bank may include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, refund or convert, through the last day of the relevant Interest Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said Advance(s) provided under this Agreement, over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by Bank) which would have accrued to Bank on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. Calculation of any amounts payable to Bank under this paragraph shall be made as though Bank shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant Eurodollar-based Advance through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund any Eurodollar-based Advance in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. Upon the written request of Companies, Bank shall deliver to Companies a certificate setting forth the basis for determining such losses, costs and expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest error.

4.2 For any Interest Period for which the Applicable Interest Rate is the Eurodollar-based Rate, if Bank shall designate a Eurodollar Lending Office which maintains books separate from those of the rest of Bank, Bank shall have the option of maintaining and carrying the relevant Advance on the books of such Eurodollar Lending Office.

4.3 If with respect to any Interest Period Bank reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in Eurodollars in the applicable amounts are not being offered to the Bank for such Interest Period, then Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Companies. Thereafter, until Bank notifies Companies that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of Bank to make Eurodollar-based Advances, and the right of Companies to convert an Advance to or refund an Advance as a Eurodollar-based Advance shall be suspended.

4.4 If, after the date hereof, the introduction or implementation of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Advance with interest at the Eurodollar-based Rate, Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to Companies. Thereafter (a) the obligations of Bank to make Eurodollar-based Advances and the right of Companies to convert an Advance or refund an Advance as a Eurodollar-based Advance shall be suspended and thereafter Companies may select as Applicable Interest Rates only those which remain available, and (b) if Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain an Advance to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the Prime-based Rate shall be the Applicable Interest Rate for the remainder of such Interest Period.

4.5 If the adoption or implementation after the date hereof, or any change after the date hereof in, any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof:

(a)

shall subject Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Advance or any Note or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on any Advance or the Note or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank or its Eurodollar Lending Office imposed by any jurisdiction in which Bank is organized or engaged in business); or

(b)

shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) or shall impose on Bank (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Advance or the Note;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs to Bank of maintaining any part of the indebtedness hereunder or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under this Agreement or under the Note, by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then Bank shall promptly notify Companies of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen days after demand by Bank, Companies agree to pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction. Bank will promptly notify Companies of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section. A certificate of Bank setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. Bank agrees that, as promptly as practical after it becomes aware of the occurrence of any event or the existence of a condition that will cause Bank to be entitled to compensation under this Section, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with Bank’s internal policies, use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain any affected Eurodollar-based Advance through another lending office of Bank if as a result thereof the additional monies which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such Eurodollar-based Advance would be materially reduced and if, as determined by Bank, in its reasonable discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Eurodollar-based Advance through such other lending office would not materially adversely affect such Advance or Bank. Companies shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by Bank in utilizing another lending office pursuant to this Section.

4.6 In the event that at any time after the date of this Agreement any change in law such as described in Section 4.5, hereof, shall, in the reasonable opinion of Bank require that the credit provided under Section 2 of this Agreement be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for purposes of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by Bank or any corporation controlling Bank and such change has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank’s or Bank’s parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of the Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank or Bank’s parent would have achieved but for such change, then Bank shall notify Companies and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen days after demand by Bank, Companies agree to pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. Bank will promptly notify Companies of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section. A certificate of Bank setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

4.7 [Reserved].

4.8 [Reserved].

4.9 Neither Company shall be required to compensate Bank pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 for any such increased cost, reduction incurred or other amount more than 180 days prior to the date that Bank demands, or notifies Companies of its intention to demand, compensation, therefor; provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

To the extent that a Company has heretofore given a security interest to Bank with respect to certain of the foregoing and such documents and agreements comply with the requirements of this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that such documents and agreements shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.2 and remain in full force and effect for the purposes of this Agreement, but Bank may, if it reasonably deems it necessary or desirable for the purposes of creating or perfecting the security interests contemplated above, require execution of a new agreement or agreements or amendments to such agreements on substantially identical terms.

5.3 As a condition to the initial Advance, Bank shall have received evidence of receipt by Company of $3,560,000 from the Support Parties (“2010 Funded Support Payment”) in the form of cash equity contributions representing a prefunding of a portion of their respective obligations under the Support Letters for the period January 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Company represents and warrants and such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be given after giving effect to the Transaction and shall be deemed to be continuing representations and warranties during the entire life of this Agreement:

6.1 Each Company is a limited liability company duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan; each Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it is required to be qualified to do business, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Companies and their Subsidiaries or their ability to carry on their business; execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and other documents and instruments required under this Agreement, and the issuance of the Note by Companies are within their powers, have been duly authorized, are not in contravention of law or the terms of any Company’s Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement, and do not require the consent or approval of any governmental body, agency or authority except to the extent already obtained; and this Agreement and other documents and instruments required under this Agreement and Note, when issued and delivered, will be valid and binding on the Companies in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

6.2 The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other documents and instruments required under this Agreement, and the issuance of the Note by Companies are not in contravention of the unwaived terms of any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which any Company is a party or by which it is bound.

6.3 No litigation or other proceeding before any court or administrative agency is pending, or to the knowledge of the officers of Companies is threatened against any Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially impair any Company’s or any Subsidiary’s financial condition or the ability of any Company or any Subsidiary to carry on its business.

6.4 There are no security interests in, liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances on any of any Company’s or any Subsidiary’s assets, except to Bank or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

6.5 Neither any Company nor any Subsidiary maintains or contributes to any employee pension benefit plan subject to title IV of the “Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974” (herein called “ERISA”), except for any contingent multi-employer plan withdrawal liability with respect to the Teamsters Pension Plan. There was no unfunded past service liability of any pension plan maintained by the Companies as of December 31, 2009, and there is no accumulated funding deficiency within the meaning of ERISA, or any existing material liability with respect to any pension plan owed to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) or any successor thereto, except any funding deficiency for which an application to the PBGC for waiver is pending or for which a waiver has been granted by the PBGC.

6.6 The financial statements of the Companies for the period ended December 31, 2009, previously furnished to Bank, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Companies and their consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date in accordance with the assumptions stated in the pro forma balance sheet; since said date there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of the Companies and their consolidated Subsidiaries; to the best of the knowledge of any Company’s officers, Companies do not have any material contingent obligations (including any liability for taxes) not disclosed by or reserved against in the balance sheet most recently provided, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any present commitment of any Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

6.7 To the best knowledge of Companies, the financial projections previously furnished by Companies to Bank were as of the date thereof and are as of the date of execution of this Agreement reasonable in all material respects taking into account all facts and information known or reasonably available to Companies it being understood that projections are not facts.

6.8 All tax returns and tax reports of Companies and their consolidated Subsidiaries required by law to have been filed have been duly filed or extensions obtained, and all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies (other than those presently payable without penalty and those currently being contested in good faith for which adequate reserves have been established) upon Companies and their consolidated Subsidiaries (or any of its or their properties) which are due and payable and for which the failure to pay would materially adversely affect its business or the value of its property or assets have been paid. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Companies in respect of the Federal income tax for all periods are adequate in the opinion of Companies.

6.9 Except as set forth in Schedule 6.9, there are no subsidiaries of any Company.

6.10 Except as set forth in Schedule 6.10:

(a)

Each Company and each of its Subsidiaries, in the conduct of its business, is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state or local laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations applicable to any of them, the enforcement of which, if such Person were not in compliance, would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect its business or the value of its property or assets. Companies and their Subsidiaries have all approvals, authorizations, consents, licenses, orders and other permits of all governmental agencies and authorities, whether federal, state or local, required to permit the operation of their business as presently conducted, except such approvals, authorizations, consents, licenses, orders and other permits with respect to which the failure to have would not reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect their business or the value of their property or assets (taken as a whole).

(b)

Neither any Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to any litigation or administrative proceeding, nor so far as is known by any Company is any litigation or administrative proceeding threatened against any Company or any Subsidiary, the outcome of which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any Company or any Subsidiary which in either case (i) asserts or alleges that any Company or any Subsidiary violated Environmental Laws, (ii) asserts or alleges that any Company or any Subsidiary is required to clean up, remove, or take remedial or other response action due to the disposal, depositing, discharge, leaking or other release of any hazardous substances or materials, (iii) asserts or alleges that any Company or any Subsidiary is required to pay all or a portion of the cost of any past, present, or future cleanup, removal or remedial or other response action which arises out of or is related to the disposal, depositing, discharge, leaking or other release of any hazardous substances or materials by any Company or any Subsidiary.

(c)

Neither any Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any judgment, decree, order or citation related to or arising out of applicable Environmental Laws which would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect its business or the value of its property or assets and to the knowledge of the Companies, neither any Company nor any Subsidiary has been named or listed as a potentially responsible party by any governmental body or agency in a matter arising under any applicable Environmental Laws which would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect its business or the value of its property or assets.

(d)

To the Companies’ knowledge, Companies and their Subsidiaries have all permits, licenses and approvals required under applicable Environmental Laws, the failure of which to have would have a material adverse effect on the operation of their business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

6.11 No Company is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Company is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, directly or indirectly, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and none of the proceeds of any of the loans hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose which would violate the provisions of Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Terms for which meanings are provided in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any regulations substituted therefor, as from time to time in effect, are used in this paragraph with such meanings.

6.12 Companies and their Subsidiaries have good and valid title to or rights in the property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered or to be encumbered by them under the Security Agreements.

6.13 Companies have delivered to Bank a complete and correct copy of the Contribution Agreement, including all schedules and exhibits thereto. The Contribution Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties thereto relating to the subject matter thereof, and there are no other agreements, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, relating to the matters covered thereby. The execution, delivery and performance of the Contribution Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent of stockholders or other holders of Equity Interests required by law or by any applicable corporate or other organization documents) on the part of Companies. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to filing with or license from, any governmental authority is, to Companies’ knowledge, required for such sale other than such as have been obtained on or prior to the effective date of the Contribution Agreement. Each of the representations and warranties contained in the Contribution Agreement made by Holding is true, correct and complete in all material respects and each of the representations and warranties contained in the Contribution Agreement made by Persons other than Holding is, to Companies’ knowledge, true, correct and complete in all material respects.

6.14 To the knowledge of Companies, all conditions precedent to the Contribution Agreement have been fulfilled or (with the prior written consent of Bank) waived, the Contribution Agreement has not been amended or otherwise modified, and, to the knowledge of the Companies, there has been no breach of any material term or condition of the Contribution Agreement.

11.9 Any payment of the Indebtedness made by mail will be deemed tendered and received only upon actual receipt by Bank at the address designated for such payment, whether or not Bank has authorized payment by mail or any other manner, and shall not be deemed to have been made in a timely manner unless received on the date due for such payment, time being of the essence. Companies expressly assume all risks of loss or liability resulting from non-delivery or delay of delivery of any item of payment transmitted by mail or in any other manner. Acceptance by Bank of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter and until the entire amount then due has been paid, Bank shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights conferred upon it herein upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Companies waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by Bank from or on behalf of Companies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Companies agree that Bank shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter against the Indebtedness in such manner as Bank may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Bank upon any of its books and records. Companies expressly agree that to the extent that Bank receives any payment or benefit and such payment or benefit, or any part thereof, is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or benefit, the Indebtedness or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or benefit had not been made and, further, any such repayment by Bank, to the extent that Bank did not directly receive a corresponding cash payment, shall be added to and be additional Indebtedness payable upon demand by Bank.

11.10 In the event Companies’ obligation to pay interest on the principal balance of the Note is or becomes in excess of the maximum interest rate which Companies are permitted by law to contract or agree to pay, giving due consideration to the execution date of this Agreement, then, in that event, the rate of interest applicable shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not of interest.

11.11 COMPANIES AND BANK ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED. EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE INDEBTEDNESS.

11.12 (a) The obligations of the Companies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are joint and several.

(b)

Each Company acknowledges and agrees that it is the intent of the parties that each Company be primarily liable for the obligations as a joint and several obligor (except as specifically set forth in this Section 12.12). It is the intention of the parties that with respect to liability of any Company hereunder arising solely by reason of its being jointly and severally liable for Indebtedness and other extensions of credit taken by other Companies, the obligations of such Company shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

(i)

any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note as to any other Company;

(ii)

the failure of Bank or any holder of any Note:

(A)

to enforce any right or remedy against any Company or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement, any Note, or otherwise, or

(B)

to exercise any right or remedy against any Person of, or collateral securing, any obligations;

(iii)

any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Indebtedness, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any of the Indebtedness;

(iv)

any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any of the Indebtedness with respect to any other Company for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Company hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any of the Indebtedness with respect to any other Company;

(v)

any addition, exchange, release, surrender or nonperfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any guaranty, held by Bank or any holder of any Note securing any of the Indebtedness; or

(vi)

any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any other Company, any surety or any guaranty.

(c)

Each Company agrees that its joint and several liability hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Indebtedness is rescinded or must be restored by Bank or any holder of any Note, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Company as though such payment had not been made.

(d)

Each Company hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of the Bank’s acceptance of this Agreement; (b) notice of the existence or creation or non payment of all or any of the Indebtedness; (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever other than notices expressly provided for in this Agreement; and (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Indebtedness or any thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for or guaranty of any of the foregoing.

(e)

No delay on the Bank part in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No action of the Bank permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair Bank’s rights or any Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

(f)

Each Company hereby represents and warrants to each of the other Companies that it now has and will continue to have independent means of obtaining information concerning the other Companies’ affairs, financial condition and business. Bank shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Company with any credit or other information concerning the Companies’ affairs, financial condition or business which may come into the Bank’s possession.

(g)

Each of the Companies (other than BWB) authorizes Superior with full power and authority as attorney-in-fact, to execute and deliver requests for advances, requests for issuance of Letters of Credit and each other instrument, certificate and report to be delivered by the Companies to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement. Each of Companies agrees that it shall be bound by any action taken by Superior on its behalf pursuant to such appointment.

11.13 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION. The following notification is provided to Companies pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318; IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for Companies: When Companies, or any of them, open an account, the Bank will ask for Company’s name, tax identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the Bank to identify such Companies. Bank may also ask to see each Company’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

11.14 This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution hereof by Bank and Companies.

11.15 This Agreement constitutes an amendment to and restatement in its entirety of the Existing Credit Agreement, which Existing Credit Agreement is fully superseded and amended and restated in its entirety hereby without constituting a novation; provided, however, that the Indebtedness governed by the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect (subject to the terms hereof).

WITNESS the due execution hereof as of the day and year first above written.
