the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to
Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement consent to:
(a) the Sallisaw Sale, provided that (i) the full amount of the book value of

Agreement for the current fiscal year of the Borrower, (ii) the Sallisaw Sale is for fair
market value and (iii) after giving effect to the modifications in this paragraph 1, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the
Sallisaw Sale or would result from the Sallisaw Sale;
(b) postpone any requirement under the Unlimited Pledge Agreement or any other Loan
Document that would require the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver share
certificates with respect to the Equity Interests issued by the Sale Vehicle until such time
as a Collateral Trigger shall have occurred; and
(c) the release of any Collateral sold pursuant to the Sallisaw Sale.
In furtherance of clause (c) of this paragraph 1, the Lenders party hereto authorize the
Administrative Agent to, upon the request of, and at the sole expense of, the Borrower, enter
into all releases or other documents necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created
by any of the Loan Documents on any Collateral sold pursuant to the Sallisaw Sale.

or disposition is for fair market value and is not otherwise prohibited under Section
6.6”

adding the phrase “clauses (a) through (d) of” before the reference to “Section 6.3” in

replacing it with the following:
“The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any
Disposition, or enter into any agreement to make any Disposition, of any Collateral or IP
Rights
2
