Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, Lenders severally agree to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth to make their respective shares of the Commitments available to Borrowers, in an aggregate amount up to $70,000,000, as set forth hereinbelow.

2.2. Revolving Commitments.

(a) Revolving Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally to the extent of its Revolving Commitment and not jointly with the other Lenders, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make Revolving Loans to Borrowers on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the Business Day before the last day of the Term, not to exceed in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at such time, which Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2.2(b)(ii), Lenders shall have no obligation to Borrowers whatsoever to honor any request for a Revolving Loan on or after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or if at the time of the proposed funding thereof the aggregate Working Capital Obligations then outstanding and Pending Revolving Loans exceeds, or would exceed after the funding of such Revolving Loan, the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base or (ii) the Revolving Commitments. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be funded by Lenders on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments (except for Regions with respect to Swingline Loans). The Revolving Loans shall bear interest as set forth in Section 2.5 hereof. Each Revolving Loan shall, at the option of Borrowers, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or more borrowings that, unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans.

(b) Out-of-Formula Loans.

(i) If the Working Capital Obligations outstanding at any time should exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (an “Out-of-Formula Condition”), such Working Capital

Obligations shall nevertheless constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and entitled to all of the benefits of the Credit Documents. In the event that Lenders are willing in their sole and absolute discretion to make Out-of-Formula Loans or are required to do so by Section 2.2(b)(ii), such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.5(e).

(ii) Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Requisite Lenders, Agent may require Lenders to honor requests by Borrowers for Out-of-Formula Loans (in which event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.2(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Lenders shall continue to make Revolving Loans up to their Pro Rata share of the Commitments) and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Out-of-Formula Condition, (1) when no Event of Default exists (or if an Event of Default exists, when the existence of such Event of Default is not known by Agent), if and for so long as (i) such Out-of-Formula Condition does not continue for a period of more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, following which no Out-of-Formula Condition exists for at least fifteen (15) consecutive days before another Out-of-Formula Condition exists, (ii) the amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding at any time does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time, and (iii) the Out-of-Formula Condition is not known by Agent at the time in question to exceed $5,000,000; and (2) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers the existence of an Out-of-Formula Condition not previously known by it to exist, but Lenders shall be obligated to continue making such Revolving Loans as directed by Agent only (A) if the amount of the Out-of-Formula Condition is not increased by more than $3,000,000 above the amount determined by Agent to exist on the date of discovery thereof and (B) for a period not to exceed five (5) Business Days. In no event shall any Borrower or any other Credit Party be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Section 2.2(b)(ii) or authorized to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 2.2(b)(ii).

(c) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely for one or more of the following purposes: (i) to refinance the Existing Indebtedness; (ii) to pay the Transaction Costs; (iii) to pay any of the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (iv) to make expenditures for working capital and other lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers to the extent such expenditures are not prohibited by this Agreement or applicable law including to finance Permitted Acquisitions. In no event may any Revolving Loan proceeds be used by any Credit Party (x) to purchase or to carry, or to reduce, retire or refinance any Indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry, any Margin Stock or for any related purpose that violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Exchange Act or (y) to fund any operations or finance any investments or activities in, or to make payments to, a Sanctioned Person.

(d) Revolving Notes. The Revolving Loans made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender and by the Revolving Loan Note payable to such Lender (or the assignee of such Lender), which shall be executed by Borrowers, completed in conformity with this Agreement and delivered to such Lender. All outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest under the Revolving Loan Notes shall be due and payable as set forth in Section 2.20.

(e) Voluntary Reduction of Revolving Commitments. Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments, on a Pro Rata basis for each Lender, upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction and shall be irrevocable once given. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, or an increment of $250,000 in excess thereof; provided, that, in no event shall the Revolving Commitments be reduced to less than $50,000,000.

(f) Protective Advances. Agent shall be authorized, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time or times that a Default or Event of Default exists or any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 hereof have not been satisfied, to make Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Borrowers in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $5,000,000, but only to the extent that Agent, in the exercise of its business judgment, deems the funding of such Loans (herein called “Protective Advances”) to be necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood, or increase the amount, of repayment of the Obligations or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses, all of which Protective Advances shall be deemed part of the Obligations and secured by the Collateral and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement (including Section 2.22) as advances for the repayment to Agent and Lenders of Extraordinary Expenses; provided, however, that the Requisite Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization to make any such Protective Advances by written notice to Agent, which shall become effective prospectively upon and after Agent’s actual receipt thereof. Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that the making of a Protective Advance is required for any such purposes shall be conclusive. Each Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance in an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time, when added to the aggregate of Revolving Loans, LC Obligations and Out-of-Formula Loans outstanding at such time, shall not exceed the total of the Revolving Commitments. Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be construed to limit in any way the amount of Extraordinary Expenses that may be incurred by Agent and that Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse to Agent as provided in the Credit Documents.

2.3. LC Facility.

(a) Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer agrees to establish the LC Facility pursuant to which, during the period from the date hereof to (but excluding) the 30th day prior to the last day of the Term, Issuer shall issue one or more Letters of Credit on Borrower Agent’s request therefor from time to time, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuer’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuer’s receipt of (A) an LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit and (B) such other instruments and agreements as Issuer may customarily require for the issuance of a letter of credit of equivalent type and amount as the requested Letter of Credit. Issuer shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (x) Issuer receives an LC Request and LC Application at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, and (y) each of the LC Conditions is satisfied on the date of Issuer’s receipt of the LC Request and at the time of the requested issuance of a Letter of Credit.

(ii) Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower only if they are to be used (a) to support obligations of a Borrower or a Subsidiary of a Borrower incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Borrower or such Subsidiary, on a standby or documentary basis, and payable solely in U.S. Dollars or (b) for such other purposes as Agent and Lenders may approve from time to time in writing.

(iii) Borrowers shall comply with all of the terms and conditions imposed on Borrowers by Issuer that are contained in any LC Application or in any other agreement customarily or reasonably required by Issuer in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit. If Issuer shall honor any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Issuer, in Dollars on the same day as the date on which payment was made by Issuer (the “Reimbursement Date”), an amount equal to the amount paid by Issuer under such Letter of Credit (or, if payment thereunder was made by Issuer in a currency

other than Dollars, an amount equal to the dollar equivalent of such currency, as determined by Issuer, as of the time of Issuer’s payment under such Letter of Credit, in each case), together with interest from and after the Reimbursement Date until Full Payment is made by Borrowers at the Default Rate for Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans. Until Issuer has received payment from Borrowers in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause (iii), Issuer, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement and any LC Application, shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary under such Letter of Credit whose claims against Borrowers have been discharged with the proceeds of such Letter of Credit. Whether or not a Borrower submits any Funding Notice to Agent, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested from Lenders a borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay to Issuer all amounts due to Issuer on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such borrowing whether or not any Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists, the Commitments have been terminated, the funding of the borrowing would result in (or increase the amount of) any Out of-Formula Condition, or any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are not satisfied.

(iv) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuer for any payment made by Issuer under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and joint and several and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit except to the extent the Issuer was grossly negligent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable proceeding. In connection with the issuance of any documentary Letter of Credit, none of Agent, Issuer or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in the Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, enforceability, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such Documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure or omission to ship, any or all of the goods referred to in a documentary Letter of Credit or Documents applicable thereto; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by the shipper and/or any Person in connection with any goods or any shipping or delivery thereof; any breach of contract between the shipper or vendors and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, email, electronic transmission, or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher, unless such errors, omissions, interruptions or delays are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuer; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuer, Agent, or any Lender, including any act or omission (whether rightful or wrongful) of any present or future Governmental Authority. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit shall be in addition to, and cumulative with, all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Issuer under any of the LC Documents. Nothing herein shall be deemed to release Issuer from any liability or obligation that it may have in respect to any Letter of Credit arising out of and directly resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(v) No Letter of Credit shall be extended or amended in any respect that is not solely ministerial, unless all of the LC Conditions are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being

requested and issued. With respect to any Letter of Credit that contains any “evergreen” or automatic renewal provision, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal, unless any such Lender shall have provided to Agent written notice that it declines to consent to any such extension or renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Issuer is entitled to decline to extend or renew the Letter of Credit. If all of the LC Conditions are met and no Default or Event of Default exists, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal.

(vi) Unless otherwise provided in any of the LC Documents, each LC Application and each Letter of Credit shall be subject to and governed, as applicable, by (i) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), Publication 500, or any subsequent revision or restatement thereof adopted by the ICC and in use by Issuer or (ii) the International Standby Practices, ICC Publication No. 590, or any subsequent revision or restatement thereof adopted by the ICC and in use by Issuer, except to the extent that the terms of such publication would limit or diminish rights granted to Issuer hereunder or in any other Credit Document.

(b) Participations.

(i) Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to the Pro Rata share of such Lender (a “Participating Lender”) in all LC Obligations arising in connection with such Letter of Credit, but in no event greater than an amount which, when added to such Lender’s Pro Rata share of all Revolving Loans and LC Obligations then outstanding, exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however that if Issuer shall have received written notice from a Lender on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the date of Issuer’s issuance issue of a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 has not been satisfied, Issuer shall have no obligation to issue (and shall not issue) the requested Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn in writing by that Lender or until the Requisite Lenders shall have effectively waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. In no event shall Issuer be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any existence of any Default or Event of Default or the failure of any LC Condition or any other condition in Section 3.2 to be satisfied prior to its receipt of such notice from a Lender.

(ii) If Issuer makes any payment under a Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not repay or cause to be repaid the amount of such payment on the Reimbursement Date, Issuer shall promptly notify Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participating Lender, of such payment and each Participating Lender shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after its receipt of notice from Agent) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for the account of Issuer, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment, and Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to Issuer. If a Participating Lender does not make its Pro Rata share of the amount of such payment available to Agent on a timely basis as herein provided, such Participating Lender agrees to pay to Agent for the account of Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate until paid. The failure of any Participating Lender to make available to Agent for the account of Issuer such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata share of the LC Obligations shall not relieve any other Participating Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Agent its Pro Rata share of the LC Obligations. No Participating Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participating Lender to make available to Agent its Pro Rata share of the LC Obligations on the date such payment is to be made.

(iii) Whenever Issuer receives a payment on account of the LC Obligations, including any interest thereon, as to which Agent has previously received payments from any Participating Lender for the account of Issuer, Issuer shall promptly pay to each Participating Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata share thereof.

(iv) The obligation of each Participating Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuer in connection with Issuer’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances and irrespective of whether or not Borrowers may assert or have any claim for any lack of validity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; the existence of any Default or Event of Default; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; the existence of any setoff or defense any Credit Party may have with respect to any of the Obligations; or the termination of the Commitments.

(v) Neither Issuer nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Participating Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with any of the LC Documents except as a result of actual gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuer. Issuer does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or breach by a Borrower or any other Person of its obligations under any of the LC Documents. Issuer does not make to Participating Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, the LC Documents, or any Credit Party. Issuer shall not be responsible to any Participating Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any of the LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any of the Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Credit Party or any Account Debtor. In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any of the LC Documents, Issuer shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting upon, any certification, notice or other communication in whatever form believed by Issuer, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Issuer may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts and to advise it concerning its rights, powers and privileges under the LC Documents and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Issuer may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to the LC Documents and shall not be liable for the negligence, default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Issuer with reasonable care. Issuer shall not have any liability to any Participating Lender by reason of Issuer’s refraining to take any action under any of the LC Documents without having first received written instructions from the Requisite Lenders to take such action.

(vi) Upon the request of any Participating Lender, Issuer shall furnish to such Participating Lender copies (to the extent then available to Issuer) of each outstanding Letter of Credit and related LC Documents as may be in the possession of Issuer and reasonably requested from time to time by such Participating Lender.

(c) Cash Collateral Account. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding (i) at any time that an Event of Default exists, (ii) on any date that Excess Availability is less than zero, (iii) on or at any time after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, or (iv) on the day that is ten (10) days prior to the last day of the Term, then Borrowers shall, on Issuer’s or Agent’s request, forthwith pay to Issuer the amount of any LC Obligations that are then due and payable and shall, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) hereinabove, Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit or provide a back-up letter of credit acceptable to Agent in all respects and from a financial institution acceptable to Agent in all respects. If notwithstanding the occurrence of one or more of the events described in clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) in the immediately preceding sentence Borrowers fail to Cash Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit or provide a back-up letter of credit acceptable to Agent in all respects and from a financial institution acceptable to Agent in all respects on the first Business Day following Agent’s or Issuer’s demand therefor, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance such amount as Revolving Loans (whether or not the Revolving Commitment Termination Date has occurred or an Out of-Formula Condition is created thereby). Such cash (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be held by Agent in the Cash Collateral Account and may be invested, in Agent’s discretion, in Cash Equivalents. Each Borrower hereby pledges to Agent and grants to Agent a security interest in, for the benefit of Agent in such capacity and for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, all Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all Obligations (including LC Obligations), whether or not then due or payable. From time to time after cash is deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, Agent may apply Cash Collateral then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by Borrowers to Issuer, Agent or any Lender with respect to the LC Obligations. None of Borrowers nor any other Person claiming by, through or under or on behalf of Borrowers shall have any right to withdraw any of the Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account, including any accrued interest, provided that upon termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the payment and satisfaction of all of the LC Obligations, any Cash Collateral remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be returned to Borrowers unless an Event of Default then exists (in which event Agent may apply such Cash Collateral to the payment of any other Obligations outstanding in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22, with any surplus to be turned over to Borrowers).

(d) Indemnifications.

(i) In addition to and without limiting any other indemnity which Borrowers may have to any Indemnitees under any of the Credit Documents, or any other amount payable as provided herein each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend each of the Indemnitees and to hold each of the Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all claims which any Indemnitee may suffer, incur or be subject to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of (a) the issuance of, payment or failure to pay or any performance or failure to perform under any Letter of Credit, (b) any suit, investigation or proceeding as to which Agent or any Lender is or may become a party to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or the payment or failure to pay thereunder or (c) Issuer following any instructions of a Borrower with respect to any Letter of Credit or any Document received by Issuer with reference to any Letter of Credit.

(ii) Each Participating Lender agrees to indemnify and defend each of Regions and its Affiliates and all of Regions’ and each of its Affiliates present and future officers, directors, agents, employees and attorneys (the “Regions Indemnitees”) (to the extent the Regions Indemnitees are not reimbursed by Borrowers or any other Credit Party, but without limiting the indemnification obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement), to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Revolving Commitments, from and against any and all claims which may

be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Regions Indemnitees in any way related to or arising out of Issuer’s administration or enforcement of rights or remedies under any of the LC Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby (including costs and expenses which Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 2.7).

2.4. Bank Products. Borrowers may request any Lender to provide, or to arrange for one or more of its Affiliates to provide, Bank Products, but no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to provide, or to arrange for the provision of, any Bank Products. If Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of a Lender, Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims at any time incurred by Agent or any Lenders that arise from any indemnity given to such Affiliates that relate to such Bank Products. Borrowers acknowledge that obtaining Bank Products from any Lender or its Affiliates is in the discretion of such Lender or its Affiliates and is subject to all rules and regulations of such Lender or its Affiliates that are applicable to such Bank Products.

2.5. Interest.

(a) Rates of Interest. Borrowers agree to pay interest in respect of all unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans from the respective dates such principal amounts are advanced until paid (whether at stated maturity, on acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate indicated below:

(i) for Revolving Loans made or outstanding as Base Rate Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time; or

(ii) for Revolving Loans made or outstanding as LIBOR Loans, the Applicable Margin plus LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period selected by Borrowers in conformity with this Agreement; or

(iii) for Revolving Loans constituting Swingline Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the LIBOR Index Rate in effect from time to time.

During a Seasonal Overadvance Period, upon the satisfaction of the Seasonal Overadvance Conditions, the delivery of the Seasonal Overadvance Notice, and Agent’s acceptance of the same (and the inclusion of the Seasonal Overadvance Amount in the Borrowing Base), all Revolving Loans up to the Seasonal Overadvance Amount (which shall be deemed to be the first Revolving Loans made and outstanding) shall bear interest based upon the rates set forth above, as applicable, plus 0.50%.

Upon determining LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone and, if so requested by Borrowers, confirm the same in writing. Such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all parties and for all purposes. The applicable rate of interest for all Loans (or portions thereof) bearing interest based upon the Base Rate shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Base Rate, with such adjustments to be effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate becomes effective. Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date on which such Loan is made, converted to a Loan of another Type or continued as a LIBOR Loan to (but excluding) the date of any repayment thereof; provided, however, that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall be paid on such Loan.

(b) Conversions and Continuations.

(i) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to the giving of a proper Conversion/Continuation Notice as hereinafter described, elect (A) to continue all or any part of a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period therefor, to commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period, or (B) to convert all or any part of a Loan of one Type (other than a Swingline Loan) into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, during the period that any Default or Event of Default exists, Agent may (and shall at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made or continued as or converted into a LIBOR Loan. Any conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Any conversion or continuation made with respect to less than the entire outstanding balance of the Loans must be allocated among Lenders on a Pro Rata basis, and the Interest Period for Loans converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans shall be coterminous for each Lender.

(ii) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans under Section 2.5(b), Borrower Agent shall give Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice, signed by an authorized officer of Borrower Agent, at least one (1) Business Day before the requested conversion date, in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans, and at least three (3) Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of the proposed conversion or continuation. Each such Conversion/Continuation Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be converted or continued, the date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day) and whether the Loans are being converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans (and, if so, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto and, in the absence of any specification by Borrowers of the Interest Period, an Interest Period of one month will be deemed to be specified) or Base Rate Loans. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver the Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans.

(c) Interest Periods. In connection with the making or continuation of, or conversion into, each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which interest period shall commence on the date such LIBOR Loan is made and shall end on a numerically corresponding day in the first, second or third month thereafter; provided, however, that: (i) the initial Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of such borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Loan of another Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Revolving Loan shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Interest Period expires; (ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day; (iii) any Interest Period that begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month; (iv) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of principal of a Loan shall extend beyond a date on which a Borrower is required to make a scheduled payment of such portion of principal; and (v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the last day of the Term.

(d) Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining LIBOR for any Interest Period, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting

the London interbank market or any Lender’s or Regions’ position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR, then, and in any such event, Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to Borrowers of such determination. Until Agent notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and such affected Loans then outstanding shall, at the end of the then applicable Interest Period or at such earlier time as may be required by applicable law, bear the same interest as Base Rate Loans.

(e) Default Rate of Interest. Borrowers shall pay interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (i) with respect to the principal amount of any portion of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all past due interest) that is not paid on the due date thereof (whether due at stated maturity, on demand, upon acceleration or otherwise) until Full Payment; (ii) with respect to the principal amount of all of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all past due interest) upon the earlier to occur of (x) Borrower Agent’s receipt of notice from Agent of the Requisite Lenders’ election to charge the Default Rate based upon the existence of any Event of Default (which notice Agent shall send only with the consent or at the direction of the Requisite Lenders), whether or not acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations has been made, or (y) the commencement by or against any Borrower of an Insolvency Proceeding whether or not under the circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii) hereof Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity or demand payment of any of the Obligations; and (iii) with respect to the principal amount of any Out-of-Formula Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Requisite Lenders), whether or not demand for payment thereof has been made by Agent. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Default Rate shall apply and accrue on any judgment entered with respect to any of the Obligations and to the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations during any Insolvency Proceeding of a Borrower. Interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

2.6. Fees. In consideration of Lenders’ establishment of the Commitments in favor of Borrowers, and Agent’s agreement to serve as collateral and administrative agent hereunder, Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the following fees:

(a) Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee for each day of a Fiscal Quarter equal to (i) 0.50% per annum, divided by (ii) 360 times (iii) the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceeded the Working Capital Obligations for the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter. Such fee shall be set on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter and shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; provided that, with respect to any Fiscal Quarter, if the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceeded the Working Capital Obligations for the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter is less than 50% of the Revolving Commitments, then in calculating the fee under this Section 2.6(a), the rate set forth in subclause (i) shall be 0.375% per annum.

(b) LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay: (a)(i) to Agent for the Pro Rata account of each Lender for all Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin in effect for Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans on a per annum basis based on the average amount available to be drawn under Letters of Credit outstanding and all Letters of Credit that are paid or expire during the period of measurement (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination), payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following month; (ii) to Issuer for its own account a Letter of Credit fronting fee of 0.125% per annum based on the average amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit outstanding and all Letters of Credit that are paid or expire during the period of measurement determined as of the close of business on any date of determination, payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business

Day of the following month; and (iii) to Issuer for its own account all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing and administration of all Letters of Credit. All Letter of Credit fees referenced in clause (a)(i) above that are expressed as a percentage shall be increased to a percentage that is 2% greater than the percentage that would otherwise be applicable when the Default Rate is in effect.

(c) Audit and Appraisal Fees and Expenses. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent and Co-Collateral Agent for all reasonable (and to the extent an invoice is available, documented) costs and expenses incurred by Agent or Co-Collateral Agent (including standard fees charged by Agent’s or Co-Collateral Agent’s internal field exam department) in connection with field examinations and inventory appraisals and reviews of any Credit Party’s books and records and such other matters pertaining to any Credit Party or any Collateral as Agent in its Credit Judgment (or Agent and Co-Collateral Agent collectively in their Credit Judgment) shall deem appropriate, (i) up to three (3) times per Fiscal Year for Inventory appraisals as determined by Agent in its Credit Judgment (or Agent and Co-Collateral Agent collectively in their Credit Judgment) based upon the amount of Excess Availability from time to time, unless a Default or Event of Default exists (in which event, there shall be no limit on the number of appraisals for which Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse Agent and Co-Collateral Agent) and (ii) up to three (3) times per Fiscal Year for field examinations as determined by Agent in its Credit Judgment (or Agent and Co-Collateral Agent collectively in their Credit Judgment) based upon the amount of Excess Availability from time to time, unless a Default or Event of Default exists (in which event, there shall be no limit on the number of field examinations for which Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse Agent and Co-Collateral Agent) and, in each case, shall pay to Agent and Co-Collateral Agent the standard amount charged by Agent and Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, per day for each day that an employee or agent of Agent or Co-Collateral Agent shall be engaged in a field examination, appraisal or review of any Credit Party’s books and records plus out-of-pocket expenses. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit Agent’s or Co-Collateral Agent’s right to conduct audits and appraisals of the Collateral as provided in Section 5.6.

(d) Other Fees. In addition to the other fees provided for herein, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Regions the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

(e) General Provisions. All fees shall be fully earned by the identified recipient thereof pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement on the due date thereof (and, in the case of Letters of Credit, upon each issuance, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit); and, except as otherwise set forth herein or required by applicable law, shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees provided for in Section 2.6 are, and shall be deemed to be compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money.

(f) Computation of Interest and Fees. All fees and other charges provided for in this Agreement that are calculated as a per annum percentage of any amount and all interest shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days (or, in the case any interest calculated under clause (ii)(b) of the definition of Base Rate, 365/366 days). For purposes of computing interest and other charges hereunder, each payment received by Agent (with the date of such receipt to be governed by Section 2.23) shall be deemed applied by Agent and Lenders on account of the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) on the Business Day after the Business Day on which Agent receives such payment item in the Collection Account, and Agent shall be deemed to have received such payment item on the date specified in Section 2.23.

(g) Seasonal Overadvance Fee. On the date that Agent receives a Seasonal Overadvance Notice from Euramax, and concurrently with the delivery of such Seasonal Overadvance Notice and Agent’s acceptance of the same (and the inclusion of the Seasonal Overadvance Amount in the Borrowing

Base), Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, an activation fee in the amount of 0.20% of the Seasonal Overadvance Amount (such fee is referred to herein as the “Seasonal Overadvance Fee”).

2.7. Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) Borrowers shall reimburse Agent and Lenders for any Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender, on the sooner to occur of Agent’s demand therefor or Agent’s receipt of any proceeds of Collateral in connection with any Enforcement Action (subject to the provisions of Section 2.22 with respect to the application of any proceeds of Collateral). Borrowers also shall reimburse Agent for all legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting and other fees and expenses suffered or incurred by Agent in connection with: (i) the negotiation and preparation (and internal legal review) of any of the Credit Documents, any amendment or modification thereto; (ii) the administration of the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby; (iii) action taken to perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of any of Agent’s Liens with respect to any of the Collateral; (iv) any inspection of or audits conducted by Agent with respect to any Credit Party’s books and records or any of the Collateral; (v) any effort by Agent to verify or appraise any of the Collateral. All amounts chargeable to or reimbursable by Borrowers under this Section 2.7 shall constitute Obligations that are secured by all of the Collateral and shall be payable on demand to Agent. Borrowers also shall reimburse Agent for expenses incurred by Agent in its administration of any of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner provided in any of the other Credit Documents. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other provision of any of the Credit Documents regarding the indemnification or reimbursement by Borrowers of claims suffered or incurred by Agent or any Lender.

(b) If at any time Agent or (with the prior consent of Agent) any Lender shall agree to indemnify any Person against losses or damages that such Person may suffer or incur in its dealings or transactions with Borrowers, or shall guarantee or otherwise assure payment of any liability or obligation of Borrowers to such Person, or otherwise shall provide assurances of Borrowers’ payment or performance under any agreement with such Person, including indemnities, guaranties or other assurances of payment or performance given by Agent or any Lender with respect to Banking Relationship Debt, then the contingent obligation of Agent or any Lender providing any such indemnity, guaranty or other assurance of payment or performance, together with any payment made or liability incurred by Agent or any Lender in connection therewith, shall constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and Borrowers shall repay, on demand, any amount so paid or any liability incurred by Agent or any Lender in connection with any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose upon Agent or any Lender any obligation to provide any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance. The foregoing agreement of Borrowers shall apply whether or not such indemnity, guaranty or assurance is in writing or oral and regardless of any Borrower’s knowledge of the existence thereof, shall survive termination of the Commitments and Full Payment of the Obligations and any other provisions of the Credit Documents regarding reimbursement or indemnification by Borrowers of claims suffered or incurred by Agent or any Lender.

2.8. Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, on demand, any and all fees, costs or expenses which Agent pays to a bank or other similar institution (including any fees paid by Agent or any Lender to any Participant) arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to a Borrower or any other Person on behalf of a Borrower by Agent of proceeds of Loans made by Lenders to a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the depositing for collection by Agent of any payment item received or delivered to Agent on account of the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Agent may charge such costs, fees and expenses to Borrowers based upon Agent’s good faith estimate of such costs, fees and expenses as they are incurred by Agent.

2.9. Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (i) any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or LIR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBOR Loan or LIR Loan or (ii) at any time such Lender determines that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan or LIR Loan has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market, then such Lender shall give after such determination Agent and Borrowers notice thereof and may thereafter (1) declare that LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender, whereupon any request by a Borrower for a LIBOR Loan or LIR Loan from such Lender shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan, and any Swingline Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan, unless such Lender’s declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (which declaration shall be withdrawn promptly after the cessation of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above); and (2) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans made by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans, under the circumstances of clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.9 insofar as such Lender determines the continuance of LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans to be impracticable, in which event all such LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans of such Lender shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans as of the date of any Borrower’s receipt of the aforesaid notice from such Lender.

2.10. Increased Costs. If, by reason of (a) the introduction after the date hereof of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of LIBOR Reserve Requirements or other reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law):

(i) any Lender shall be subject after the date hereof to any Tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan, LIR Loan or Letter of Credit or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans or to issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit, or a change shall result in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans, issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit (except for (A) changes in the rate of Tax on the net income or gross receipts or franchise tax of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office is located or otherwise as a result of a connection between a Lender and such jurisdiction other than any connection arising solely from the rights and obligations as a Lender, or the activities of a Lender, pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents and (B) Taxes imposed as a result of the failure to comply with FATCA); or

(ii) any reserve (including any imposed by the Board of Governors), special deposits or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans, LIR Loans or Letters of Credit or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans or to issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit shall be imposed on such Lender or the London interbank market;

and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans or LIR Loans or issuing Letters of Credit (except to the extent already included in the determination of the applicable LIBOR for LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Index Rate for LIR Loans), or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by

such Lender, then such Lender shall, promptly after determining the existence or amount of any such increased costs for which such Lender seeks payment hereunder, give any Borrower notice thereof and Borrowers shall from time to time, upon written notice from and demand by such Lender specifying in reasonable detail the amount owing due to the increased costs (with a copy of such notice and demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender, within five (5) Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, an additional amount sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such increased costs. A certificate as to the amount of such increased costs, submitted to Borrowers by such Lender, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

If any Lender shall advise Agent at any time that, because of the circumstances described hereinabove in this Section 2.10 or any other circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or the London interbank market or such Lender’s position in such market, LIBOR, or the LIBOR Index Rate, as applicable, as determined by Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans or issuing Letters of Credit, then, and in any such event:

(i) Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed promptly in writing) to Borrowers and Lenders of such event;

(ii) Borrowers’ right to request and such Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans or to issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit shall be immediately suspended and Borrowers’ right to continue a LIBOR Loan or an LIR Loan as such beyond the then applicable Interest Period or to request a Letter of Credit or for Swingline Loans to be LIR Loans shall also be suspended, until each condition giving rise to such suspension no longer exists; and

(iii) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of the requested Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all purposes, be considered part of such borrowing, and all Swingline Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans.

For purposes of this Section 2.10, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include Issuer and any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender or Issuer. If any Lender provides notice that, due to the circumstances described in this Section 2.10, LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding LIBOR Loans or participating in LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit, then such Lender may be replaced pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.7.

2.11. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that after the date hereof (a) the adoption of any applicable law regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or the subsidiaries thereof, (b) any change in the interpretation or administration of any such applicable law by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (c) compliance by such Lender or its holding company with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved (taking into consideration such Lender’s and its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption, change or compliance and assuming that such Lender’s capital was fully utilized prior to such adoption, change or compliance) but for such adoption, change or compliance as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make the Loans pursuant hereto by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material:

(i) Agent shall promptly, after its receipt of a certificate from such Lender setting forth such Lender’s determination of such occurrence, give notice thereof to Borrowers and Lenders; and

(ii) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of such Lender, as an additional fee from time to time, on demand, such amount as such Lender certifies to be the amount reasonably calculated to compensate such Lender (on or after tax basis) for such reduction.

A certificate of such Lender claiming entitlement to compensation as set forth above will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate will set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to such Lender (including the basis for such Lender’s determination of such amount), and the method by which such amounts were determined. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method. For purposes of this Section 2.11 all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include Issuer and any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender or Issuer.

2.12. Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that, with reasonable promptness after such Lender becomes aware that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Sections 2.9, 2.10 or 2.11, or is or has become subject to U.S. withholding taxes payable by any Borrower in respect of its Loans or other Credit Extensions, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with any internal policy of such Lender or any applicable legal or regulatory restriction, (i) use all reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans or other Credit Extensions of such Lender through another lending office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other reasonable measures, if, as a result thereof, the circumstances which would relieve Borrowers from their obligations to pay such additional amounts (or reduce the amount of such payments), or such withholding taxes would be reduced, and if the making, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans or other Credit Extensions through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitment or Loans or other Credit Extensions or the interests of such Lender. For purposes of this Section 2.12, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include Issuer.

2.13. Funding Losses. Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent or any Lender may ever sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by Borrowers in the payment of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Loan or failure by Borrowers to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a LIBOR Loan after notice thereof has been given, including any interest payable by Agent or any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by any of them in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrower Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.14. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Credit Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Agent and Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents and that are deemed interest under applicable law exceed the highest rate permissible under any applicable law. No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or the exercise by Agent of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever contained in any of the Credit Documents, or the prepayment by Borrowers of any of the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle Agent or any Lender to charge or receive in any event, interest or any charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by applicable law (such interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to herein collectively as “Interest”) in excess of

the Maximum Rate and in no event shall Borrowers be obligated to pay Interest exceeding such Maximum Rate, and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrowers to pay Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate. If any Interest is charged or received with respect to the Obligations in excess of the Maximum Rate (“Excess”), each Borrower stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal of such Obligations and the balance, if any, returned to Borrowers, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. The right to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any Interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Agent and Lenders do not intend to collect any unearned Interest in the event of any such acceleration. Each Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in Section 2.5, and the Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result could inadvertently occur. All monies paid to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent required by applicable law. By the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by such Borrower of such Excess, and (ii) such Borrower shall not seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Agent or any Lender, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by Agent or any Lender, all Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Borrowers in connection with any of the Credit Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations. Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The provisions of this Section 2.14 shall be deemed to be incorporated into every Credit Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to therein). All such Credit Documents and communications relating to any Interest owed by Borrowers and all figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of Obligations, be automatically recomputed by Borrowers, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by this Section 2.14.

2.15. Loan Administration.

(a) Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolving Loans. Borrowings under the Commitments established pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be made and funded as follows:

(b) Funding Notice.

(i) Whenever Borrowers desire to make a borrowing under Section 2.2 (other than a borrowing resulting from a conversion or continuation pursuant to Section 2.5(b)), Borrowers shall give Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of such borrowing request in the form of a Funding Notice, which shall be signed by an authorized officer of Borrower Agent. Such Funding Notice shall be given by Borrower Agent no later than 1:00p.m. at the office designated by Agent from time to time (a) on the Business Day of the requested funding date of such borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested funding date of such borrowing, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Funding Notice (or telephonic notice thereof) shall be irrevocable and shall specify (a) the principal amount of the borrowing, (b) the date of borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (c)

whether the borrowing is to consist of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, (d) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (e) the account of Borrowers to which the proceeds of such borrowing are to be disbursed.

(ii) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations (whether as principal, accrued interest, fees or other charges, including any LC Obligations, Extraordinary Expenses, and any amounts owed to any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender for Banking Relationship Debt) shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a Funding Notice) for Revolving Loans on the due date of, and in an aggregate amount required to pay, such Obligations, and the proceeds of such Revolving Loans may be disbursed by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to Borrowers to honor any deemed request for a Revolving Loan on or after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or would result therefrom, or when any applicable condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 is not satisfied, but may do so in the discretion of Agent (or at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such Revolving Loan is funded after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(iii) If Regions establishes any Controlled Disbursement Account, the presentation for payment by Regions of any check or other item of payment drawn on any such Controlled Disbursement Account at a time when there are insufficient funds in such account to cover such check shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a Funding Notice) for Revolving Loans on the date of such presentation and in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the items presented for payment, and the proceeds of such Revolving Loans may be disbursed to such Controlled Disbursement Account and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to honor any deemed request for a Revolving Loan on or after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or would result therefrom or when any condition precedent in Section 3.2 is not satisfied, but may do so in the discretion of Agent (or at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such Revolving Loan is funded after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(c) Fundings by Lenders. Subject to its receipt of notice from Agent of a Funding Notice as provided in Section 2.15(b) (except in the case of a deemed request by Borrower Agent for a Revolving Loan as provided in Section 2.15(b)(ii) or (iii) or Section 2.15(d), in which event no Funding Notice need be submitted), each Lender shall timely honor its Revolving Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each borrowing of Revolving Loans that is properly requested and that Borrowers are entitled to receive under this Agreement. Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Funding Notice (or deemed request for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.15(b)(ii) or (iii)), by 2:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date (in the case of Base Rate Loans) or by 3:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days before the proposed funding date (in the case of LIBOR Loans). Each Lender shall deposit with Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the borrowing requested or deemed requested by Borrowers at Agent’s designated bank in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of funding of such borrowing, unless Agent’s notice to Lenders is received after 2:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date of a Base Rate Loan, in which event Lenders shall deposit with Agent their respective Pro Rata shares of the requested borrowing on or before 1:00 p.m. of the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Agent shall make the proceeds of the Revolving Loans received by it available to Borrowers by disbursing such proceeds in accordance with Borrower Agent’s disbursement instructions

set forth in the applicable Funding Notice. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability on account of any delay by any bank or other depository institution in treating the proceeds of any Revolving Loan as collected funds or any delay in receipt, or any loss, of funds that constitute a Revolving Loan, the wire transfer of which was initiated by Agent in accordance with wiring instructions provided to Agent. Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the proposed time of funding that such Lender does not intend to deposit with Agent an amount equal such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the requested borrowing (or deemed request for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.15(b)(ii) or (iii)), Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent and Agent may in its discretion disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers on the applicable funding date. If a Lender’s Pro Rata share of such borrowing is not in fact deposited with Agent, then, if Agent has disbursed to Borrowers an amount corresponding to such share, then such Lender agrees to pay, and in addition Borrowers agree to repay, to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed by Agent to or for the benefit of Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, (a) in the case of Borrowers, at the interest rate applicable to such borrowing and (b) in the case of such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender repays to Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute a Revolving Loan, and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall have repaid such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrowers such corresponding amount in same day funds. A notice from Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.15 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Swingline and Swingline Loans.

(i) In order to facilitate the administration of the Revolving Loans under this Agreement, Lenders and Agent agree (which agreement shall be solely between Lenders and Agent and shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that settlement among them with respect to the Revolving Loans may take place on a periodic basis on dates determined from time to time by Agent (each a “Swingline Date”), which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default and whether or not all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 have been met. On each Swingline Date, payment shall be made by or to each Lender in the manner provided herein and in accordance with the Swingline Report delivered by Agent to Lenders with respect to such Swingline Date so that, as of each Swingline Date and after giving effect to the transaction to take place on such Swingline Date, each Lender shall hold its Pro Rata share of all Revolving Loans and participations in LC Obligations. Agent shall request settlement with the Lenders on a basis not less frequently than once every five (5) Business Days.

(ii) Between Swingline Dates, Agent may request Regions to advance, and Regions may, but shall in no event be obligated to, advance to Borrowers out of Regions’ own funds the entire principal amount of any borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans requested or deemed requested pursuant to this Agreement (any such Revolving Loan funded exclusively by Regions being referred to as a “Swingline Loan”). Each Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolving Loan hereunder, shall be an LIR Loan notwithstanding any request or deemed request for a Base Rate Loan, and shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and security applicable to other Revolving Loans, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to Regions solely for its own account. The obligation of Borrowers to repay such Swingline Loans to Regions shall be evidenced by the records of Regions and need not be evidenced by any promissory note. Unless a funding is required by all Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii), Agent shall not request Regions to make any Swingline Loan if (A) Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 will not be satisfied on the requested funding date for the applicable Borrowing and Agent has made a determination

(without any liability to any Person) that such condition precedent will not be satisfied or (B) the requested borrowing would exceed the amount of Excess Availability on the funding date or (C) the aggregate amount of all Swingline Loans outstanding would exceed $8,000,000. Regions shall not be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or the requested borrowing would exceed the amount of Excess Availability on the funding date applicable thereto prior to making, in its sole discretion, any Swingline Loan. On each Swingline Date, or, if earlier, upon demand by Agent for payment thereof, the then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be immediately due and payable. As provided in Section 2.15(b)(ii), Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested (without the necessity of submitting any Funding Notice) Revolving Loans to be made on each Swingline Date in the amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans and to have Agent cause the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to be applied to the repayment of such Swingline Loans and interest accrued thereon. Agent shall notify the Lenders of the outstanding balance of Revolving Loans prior to 11:00 a.m. on each Swingline Date and each Lender (other than Regions) shall deposit with Agent (without setoff, counterclaim or reduction of any kind) an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the amount of Revolving Loans deemed requested in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on such Swingline Date. Each Lender’s obligation to make such deposit with Agent shall be absolute and unconditional, without defense, offset, counterclaim or other defense, and without regard to whether any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied, any Out-of-Formula Condition exists or the Revolving Commitment Termination Date has occurred. If, as the result of the commencement by or against Borrowers of any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be repaid by the funding by Lenders of Revolving Loans, then each Lender (other than Regions) shall be deemed to have purchased a participating interest in any unpaid Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata share of such Swingline Loan and shall transfer to Regions, in immediately available funds not later than the second Business Day after Regions’ request therefor, the amount of such Lender’s participation. The proceeds of Swingline Loans may be used solely for purposes for which Revolving Loans generally may be used in accordance with Section 2.2(c). If any amounts received by Regions in respect of any Swingline Loans are later required to be returned or repaid by Regions to Borrowers or any other Credit Party or their respective representatives or successors-in-interest, whether by court order, settlement or otherwise, the other Lenders shall, upon demand by Regions with notice to Agent, pay to Agent for the account of Regions, an amount equal to each other Lender’s Pro Rata share of all such amounts required to be returned or repaid. All Swingline Loans shall bear interest as LIR Loans.

(e) Disbursement Authorization. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested by any Borrower, or deemed to be requested pursuant to Section 2.15(b) or Section 2.15(d)(ii), as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested under Section 2.15(b) shall be disbursed by Agent in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrowers in the case of the initial borrowing, and, in the case of each subsequent borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrowers and Agent from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from any Borrower; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested under Section 2.15(b) or Section 2.15(d)(ii) shall be disbursed by Agent by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation. Any Loan proceeds received by any Borrower or in payment of any of the Obligations shall be deemed to have been received by all Borrowers.

(f) Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower authorizes Agent and Lenders to extend, convert or continue Loans, effect selections of Types of Loans and transfer funds to or on behalf of Borrowers based on telephonic notices or instructions from any individual whom Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Borrower Agent or any Borrower. Borrowers shall confirm each such

telephonic request for a borrowing or conversion or continuation of Loans by prompt delivery to Agent of the required Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as applicable, duly executed by an authorized officer of Borrower Agent. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by Agent or Lenders, the records of Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by any Borrower as a result of Agent’s or any Lender’s acting upon its understanding of telephonic instructions or requests from a person believed in good faith by Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized by a Borrower to give such instructions or to make such requests on Borrowers’ behalf.

2.16. Defaulting Lender. If any Lender shall, at any time, (a) fail to make any payment to Agent or Regions that is required hereunder or fails otherwise to perform its obligations under any Credit Documents, and such failure is not cured within one (1) Business Day, or (b) is the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding (such Lender is referred to herein as a “Defaulting Lender”), Agent may, but shall not be required to, retain payments that would otherwise be made to such Defaulting Lender hereunder and apply such payments to such Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations hereunder, at such time, and in such order, as Agent may elect in its sole discretion. With respect to the payment of any funds from Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to Agent, the party failing to make the full payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, upon demand by the other party, pay such amount together with interest on such amount at the Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Revolving Loan or payment in respect of an LC Obligation shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of the Revolving Loan or payment in respect of an LC Obligation on the date of Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan or payment in respect of an LC Obligation to be made by such Lender on the date of any borrowing. Solely as among the Lenders and solely for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to any of the Credit Documents, Collateral or any Obligations and determining a Defaulting Lender’s share of payments, fees and proceeds of Collateral pending such Defaulting Lender’s cure of its defaults hereunder, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0). The provisions of this Section 2.16 shall be solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and may not be enforced by Borrowers.

2.17. Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans.

(a) Number of LIBOR Loans. In no event may the number of LIBOR Loans outstanding at any time to any Lender exceed nine (9).

(b) Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 2.5, and each continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 2.5, shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount.

(c) LIBOR Lending Office. Each Lender’s initial LIBOR Lending Office is set forth opposite its name on the signature pages hereof. Each Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to designate a different office of itself or of any Affiliate as such Lender’s LIBOR Lending Office, and to transfer any outstanding LIBOR Loans to such LIBOR Lending Office. No such designation or transfer shall result in any liability on the part of Borrowers for increased costs or expenses resulting solely from such designation or transfer. Increased costs for expenses resulting from a change in applicable law occurring subsequent to any such designation or transfer shall be deemed not to result solely from such designation or transfer.

(d) Funding of LIBOR Loans. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBOR Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such LIBOR Loans;

provided, however, that such LIBOR Loans shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of Borrowers to repay such LIBOR Loans shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. The calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under Sections 2.10 and 2.13 shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded or committed to fund its LIBOR Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans; provided, however, each Lender may fund its LIBOR Loans in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing presumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under Sections 2.10 and 2.13.

2.18. Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Euramax, and Euramax agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of itself and each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such capacity, “Borrower Agent”), including requesting borrowings, selecting whether any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from Agent. Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Funding Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, disbursement instructions, reports, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or any other notice or communication made or given by Borrower Agent, whether in its own name, on behalf of any Borrower or on behalf of “the Borrowers,” and Agent shall have no obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such Funding Notice, Notice of Conversion Continuation, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ liability for the Obligations be affected, provided that the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed so as to preclude any Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other actions permitted to be taken by “a Borrower” hereunder. Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of “Euramax International, Inc.” hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of such Borrower’s liability for the Obligations.

2.19. Loans to Constitute One General Obligation. The Loans and LC Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Collateral Document) shall be secured by Agent’s Liens upon all of the Collateral; provided, however, that Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of each Borrower and the holder of a separate claim against each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations owed by Borrowers to Agent or such Lender.

2.20. Payments.

(a) General Payment Provisions. All payments (including all prepayments) of principal of and interest on the Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations that are payable to Agent or any Lender shall be made to Agent in Dollars without any offset or counterclaim and free and clear of (and without deduction for) any present or future Taxes (subject to Section 2.25), and, with respect to payments made other than by application of collections to the Collections Account, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the due date (and payment made after such time on the due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). All payments received by Agent shall be distributed by Agent in accordance with this Agreement, hereof, subject to the rights of offset that Agent may have as to amounts otherwise to be remitted to a particular Lender by reason of amounts due Agent from such Lender under any of the Credit Documents.

(b) Repayment of Revolving Loans.

(i) Payment of Principal. The outstanding principal amounts with respect to the Revolving Loans shall be repaid as follows:

(A) Any portion of the Revolving Loans consisting of the principal amount of Base Rate Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, for the sole benefit of Regions) unless timely converted to a LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Agreement, immediately upon (a) each receipt by Agent, any Lender or Borrowers of any proceeds of any of the Accounts or Inventory, to the extent of such proceeds, (b) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, and (c) in the case of Swingline Loans, the earlier of Regions’ demand for payment or on each Swingline Date with respect to all Swingline Loans outstanding on such date.

(B) Any portion of the Revolving Loans consisting of the principal amount of LIBOR Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, unless converted to a Base Rate Loan or continued as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, immediately upon (a) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (b) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. In no event shall Borrowers be authorized to make a voluntary prepayment with respect to any Revolving Loan outstanding as a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless (x) otherwise agreed in writing by Agent or Borrowers are otherwise expressly authorized or required by any other provision of this Agreement to pay any LIBOR Loan outstanding on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (y) Borrowers pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, concurrently with any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan, any amount due Agent and Lenders under Section 2.13 as a consequence of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.20(b)(i)(B), if, on any date that Agent receives proceeds of any of the Accounts or Inventory, there are no Revolving Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans, Agent may either hold such proceeds as cash security for the timely payment of the Obligations or apply such proceeds to any outstanding Revolving Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the same become due and payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest Periods or on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date).

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if an Out-of-Formula Condition shall exist, Borrowers shall, on the sooner to occur of Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower has obtained knowledge of such Out-of-Formula Condition, repay the outstanding Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans by an amount equal to such excess; and, if such payment of Base Rate Loans is not sufficient to eliminate the Out-of-Formula Condition, then Borrowers shall immediately deposit with Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, for application to any outstanding Revolving Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the same become due and payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest Periods or on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Out-of-Formula Condition, and Agent may (a) hold such deposit as cash security pending disbursement of same to Lenders for application to the Obligations, or (b) if a Default or Event of Default exists, immediately apply such proceeds to the payment of the Obligations, including the Revolving Loans outstanding as LIBOR Loans (in which event Borrowers shall also pay to Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders any amounts required by Section 2.13 to be paid by reason of the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto).

(ii) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on (i) the first day of each month (for the immediately preceding month), computed through the last day of the preceding month, with respect to any Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan, an LIR Loan or a LIBOR Loan, and (ii) the last day of the applicable Interest Period also in the case of a LIBOR Loan. Accrued interest shall also be paid by Borrowers on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. With respect to any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.5(b) on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable with respect to such Base Rate Loan, accrued interest to the date of such conversion on the amount of such Base Rate Loan so converted shall be paid on the conversion date.

(iii) Mandatory Prepayments. In addition to Borrowers’ obligation to pay the entire amount of the Obligations upon the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers shall also be jointly and severally required to prepay the Obligations as follows:

(A) Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations (I) in the amount of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds from Asset Sales of ABL Priority Collateral (other than the collection of Accounts and the sale or lease of Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business) and (II) in the amount of all cash proceeds from the collection of Accounts or the sale or lease of Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business. In addition, Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations in the amount of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds from Asset Sales of Notes Priority Collateral to the extent (x) such Net Asset Sale Proceeds are not required to be applied to the Senior Secured Notes or the Second Lien Obligations pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be, and (y) such prepayment is otherwise permitted by the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement;

(B) Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations from (I) the Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds received by Agent or any Credit Party, as applicable paid in respect of any ABL Priority Collateral and (II) all Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds to the extent (x) such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds are not required to be applied to the Senior Secured Notes or the Second Lien Obligations pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be, and (y) such prepayment is otherwise permitted by the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement; and

(C) On the date of receipt by any Credit Party of any Cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of any Credit Party (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.1, including, without limitation, the Senior Secured Notes, the $125,000,000 Unsecured Debt, the Second Lien Obligations, or the Subordinated Lien Obligations, if any), Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses that are not otherwise required to be applied to the Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the $125,000,000 Unsecured Debt pursuant to the $125,000,000 Unsecured Debt Credit Agreement, as such agreements are in effect on the date hereof.

(iv) Payment of Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of money, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be repaid by Borrowers to Agent for allocation among Agent and Lenders as provided in the Credit Documents, or, if no date of payment is otherwise specified in the Credit Documents, on demand.

(v) Application of Prepayments.

(A) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22, each mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.20(b)(iii) shall be remitted by Borrowers to Agent for application, unless otherwise directed or agreed in writing by Agent (acting at the direction of the Requisite Lenders), to repay the principal balance of Revolver Loans outstanding.

(B) All distributions of prepayments by Agent to Lenders shall be on a Pro Rata basis. Each Lender shall apply the portion of a prepayment that is to be applied to principal installments first to outstanding Base Rate Loans and then to any outstanding LIBOR Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining; but if application to any LIBOR Loans would cause the same to be paid prior to the end of an applicable Interest Period, then, by prior written notice to Agent, Borrowers may elect as to such LIBOR Loan to deliver cash to Agent in the amount of the required prepayment, to be held by Agent as Cash Collateral until the end of the applicable Interest Period, at which time Agent shall disburse such Cash Collateral to the affected Lenders for application to such LIBOR Loans.

2.21. Payments Set Aside. If Borrowers make a payment to Agent or Lenders or if Agent or any Lender receives proceeds of any Collateral or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or proceeds of Collateral or setoff (or any part thereof) are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of any loss by Agent or Lenders, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been made or received and any such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.21 shall survive any termination of the Commitments and Full Payment of the Obligations.

2.22. Allocation of Payments.

(a) Allocation. At any time that an Event of Default exists or Agent receives a payment or Collateral proceeds in an amount that is insufficient to pay all amounts then due and payable to Agent and Lenders, all monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether such monies represent voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments by one or more Credit Parties or are received pursuant to demand for payment or realized from any disposition of Collateral and irrespective of any designation by Borrowers of the Obligations that are intended to be satisfied, shall be allocated among Agent and such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto (and, with respect to monies allocated to Lenders, on a Pro Rata basis unless otherwise provided herein): (i) first, to Agent to pay the amount of Extraordinary Expenses that have not been reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers or Lenders, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (ii) second, to Agent to pay principal and accrued interest on any portion of the Revolver Loans (including any Protective Advances) which Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and for which Agent has not been reimbursed by such Lender or Borrowers, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (iii) third, to Regions to pay the principal and accrued interest on any portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding, to be shared with Lenders that have acquired and paid for a participating interest in such Swingline Loans, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (iv) fourth, to the extent that Issuer has not received from any Participating Lender a payment as required by Section 2.3, to Issuer to pay all such required payments from each Participating Lender, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (v) fifth, to Agent to pay any claims that have not been paid pursuant to any indemnity of Agent Indemnitees by any Credit Party, or to pay amounts owing by Lenders to Agent Indemnitees

pursuant to Section 9.6, in each case together with interest accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (vi) sixth, to Agent to pay any fees due and payable to Agent, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (vii) seventh, to each Lender, ratably, for any claims such Lender has paid to Agent Indemnitees pursuant to its indemnity of Agent Indemnitees and any Extraordinary Expenses such Lender has reimbursed to Agent or such Lender has incurred, to the extent that such Lender has not been reimbursed by Obligors therefor; (viii) eighth, to Issuer to pay principal and interest with respect to LC Obligations (or to the extent any of the LC Obligations are contingent and an Event of Default then exists, deposited in the Cash Collateral Account to Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations or provide a back-up letter of credit acceptable to Agent in all respects and from a financial institution acceptable to Agent in all respects), which payment shall be shared with the Participating Lenders in accordance with Section 2.3(b); (ix) ninth, to Lenders in payment of the unpaid principal and accrued interest in respect of the Loans and Specified Secured Hedging Obligations; (x) tenth, to Lenders in payment of other Obligations (excluding Banking Relationship Debt, Specified Secured Hedging Obligations and Non-Specified Secured Hedging Obligations) then outstanding, in such order of application as shall be designated by Agent (acting at the direction or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders); (xi) eleventh, to Agent and Lenders and any Affiliates of Agent and Lenders in payment of any Banking Relationship Debt (other than Specified Secured Hedging Obligations and Non-Specified Secured Hedging Obligations) owed to such Person and secured by the Collateral hereunder; and (xii) twelfth, to Agent and Lenders and any Affiliates of Agent and Lenders in payment of any Non-Specified Secured Hedging Obligations. The allocations set forth in this Section 2.22 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Lenders as among themselves and may be changed by Agent and Lenders without notice to or the consent or approval of any Borrower or any other Person.

(b) Erroneous Allocation. Agent shall not be liable for any allocation or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and, if any such allocation or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to which payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which such other Lenders are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

2.23. Application of Payments and Collateral Proceeds. All payment items received by Agent by 12:00 noon, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on that Business Day. All payment items received by Agent after 12:00 noon, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and Collateral proceeds at any time or times hereafter received by Agent or any Lender from or on behalf of Borrowers, and each Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and Collateral proceeds received at any time or times hereafter by Agent or its agent against the Obligations (including by application of collections received to the Collections Account to pay down the Obligations), in such manner as Agent may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Agent upon any of its books and records; provided, however, that any payments or proceeds of Collateral received by Agent on any date that an Event of Default does not exist shall be applied in accordance with any provisions of this Agreement that govern the application of such payment or proceeds. If, as the result of Agent’s collection of proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral as authorized by Section 2.22, a credit balance exists and no Loans or other Obligations are outstanding, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be available to Borrowers at any time or times for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Agent may apply such credit balance against any of the Obligations upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default in the manner specified in Section 2.22.

2.24. Loan Accounts; the Register; Account Stated.

(a) Loan Accounts. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan or other Credit Extension owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under each Note payable to such Lender. Any failure of a Lender to record in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing hereunder to such Lender.

(b) The Register. Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”), which shall include a master account and a subsidiary account for each Lender and in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Loan comprising such borrowing and any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrowers to each Lender hereunder or under the Notes, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by Agent from Borrowers or any other Obligor and each Lender’s Pro Rata share thereof. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender at the offices of Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any failure of Agent to record in the Register, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Agent. Borrowers hereby designate Regions to serve as Borrowers’ agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.24.

(c) Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each Loan Account shall constitute rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information contained therein; provided, however, that if a copy of information contained in the Register or any Loan Account is provided to any Person, or any Person inspects the Register or any Loan Account, at any time or from time to time, then the information contained in the Register or the Loan Account, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, unless such Person notifies Agent in writing within thirty (30) days after such Person’s receipt of such copy or such Person’s inspection of the Register or Loan Account of its intention to dispute the information contained therein.

2.25. Gross Up for Taxes. If Borrowers or any other Person (including Agent) shall be required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, (a) other than (i) with respect to Taxes on the net income, (ii) Taxes imposed as a result of any connection between a Lender or Agent and the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes (other than any connection arising solely from the rights and obligations as a Lender, or the activities of a Lender, pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents), and (iii) Taxes imposed as a result of the failure to comply with FATCA, the sum payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased by Borrowers as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made; provided, that Agent and such Lender comply with requirements of Section 2.26, (b) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions (including withholding or deductions required to be made by Agent on payments to a Lender), and (c) Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. For purposes of this Section 2.25 and Section 2.26, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include Issuer.

2.26. Withholding Tax Exemption.

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Foreign Lender, such Foreign Lender agrees that it will deliver to Borrowers and Agent two (2) duly completed and executed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (and/or any subsequent replacement substitute or form therefor), and/or any other document reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payment under this Agreement and such Lender’s Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal withholding taxes. Agent and each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent on or prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of such Person two (2) duly completed and executed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 unless such Person is an “exempt recipient” (as defined in Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) of the United States Treasury Regulations). Agent and each Lender that so delivers a Form X-0, X-0XXX or W-8ECI (or any other document reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent) further undertakes to deliver to Borrowers and Agent two (2) additional copies of such form (or a successor form) and/or documentation on or before the date that such form and/or documentation expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form and/or documentation so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, in each case, certifying that such Person is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and its Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal withholding taxes, unless any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such Person became a party to this Agreement but prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders all such forms and/or documentation inapplicable or that would prevent such Person from duly completing and delivering any such form and/or documentation with respect to it and such Person advises Borrowers and Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal withholding taxes.

(b) In addition, upon request, Agent and each Lender shall deliver to Agent and Borrowers such other tax forms and/or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law to demonstrate, where applicable, that payments under this Agreement and such Lender’s Note to Agent and such Lender are exempt from application of the United States federal withholding taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA.

2.27. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

(a) Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be liable for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by all other Borrowers of, all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, it being acknowledged and agreed that Loans to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all Borrowers and that Agent and Lenders are relying on the joint and several liability of Borrowers in extending the Loans and other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest owed on, any of the Loans or other Obligations, such Borrower shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand.

(b) Unconditional Nature of Liability. Each Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Loans and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Obligor or any Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Agent or any

Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by Agent to take any steps to perfect or maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations or Agent’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) Agent’s or Lenders’ election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any Obligor for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any amendment or modification of any of the Credit Documents or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default (unless such amendment, modification or waiver specifically amends, modifies or waives such liability), (ix) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the disallowance of all or any portion of Agent’s or any Lender’s claims against any other Obligor for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice to any Obligor against any or all Obligors to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Obligor or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision under applicable law that might otherwise require Agent to pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or Obligor before pursuing another Obligor. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

(c) No Reduction in Liability for Obligations. No payment or payments made by an Obligor or received or collected by Agent from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement, each of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all remaining Loans and other Obligations until Full Payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

(d) Contribution. Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. If, as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made by a Borrower on account of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower’s Collateral that are applied to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds actually used by such Borrower in its business (such excess amount being referred to as an “Accommodation Payment”), then each of the other Borrowers (each such Borrower being referred to as a “Contributing Borrower”) shall be obligated to make contribution to such Borrower (the “Paying Borrower”) in an amount equal to (A) the product derived by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of each Borrower by the Allocable Percentage of the Borrower from whom contribution is sought less (B) the amount, if any, of the then outstanding Accommodation Payment of such Contributing Borrower (such last mentioned amount which is to be subtracted from the aforesaid product to be increased by any amounts theretofore paid by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder, and to be decreased by any amounts theretofore received by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder); provided, however, that a Paying Borrower’s recovery of contribution hereunder from the other Borrowers shall be limited to that amount paid by the Paying Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of all Accommodation Payments then outstanding of all Borrowers. As used herein, the term “Allocable Percentage” shall mean, on any date of determination thereof, a fraction the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of Borrowers who are parties to this Agreement on such date and the numerator of

which shall be one (1); provided, however, that such percentages shall be modified in the event that contribution from a Borrower is not possible by reason of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise by reducing such Borrower’s Allocable Percentage equitably and by adjusting the Allocable Percentage of the other Borrowers proportionately so that the Allocable Percentages of all Borrowers at all times equals 100%.

(e) Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Obligor, and any successor or assign of any other Obligor, including any trustee, receiver or debtor in possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to the Full Payment of all of the Obligations.

2.28. Term and Termination of Commitments

(a) Term of Commitments. Subject to each Lender’s right to cease making Loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers when any Default or Event of Default exists or upon termination of the Commitments as provided in Section 2.28(b) below, the Commitments shall be in effect for a period (the “Term”) from the date hereof, through the close of business on September 18, 2015, unless sooner terminated as provided in Section 2.28(b) below.

(b) Termination.

(i) Termination by Agent. Agent may (and upon the direction of the Requisite Lenders, shall) terminate the Commitments without notice at any time that an Event of Default exists; provided, however, that the Commitments shall automatically terminate as provided in Section 8.1.

(ii) Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Commitments; provided, however, no such termination by Borrowers shall be effective until Full Payment of the Obligations. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable unless Agent otherwise agrees in writing. Borrowers may elect to terminate the Commitments in their entirety only, provided, that Borrowers may reduce the Revolving Commitments in accordance with Section 2.2(e) hereof. No section of this Agreement, Type of Loan available hereunder or Commitment may be terminated by Borrowers singly; provided, that Borrowers may reduce the Revolving Commitments in accordance with Section 2.2(e) hereof.

(iii) Effect of Termination. On the effective date of termination of the Commitments by Agent or by Borrowers, all of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans, Issuer shall have no obligation to issue any Letters of Credit and Lenders may terminate any Bank Products (including any services or products under Cash Management Agreements). All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of Borrowers contained in the Credit Documents shall survive any such termination and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Credit Documents notwithstanding such termination until Full Payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the Full Payment of the Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any of the Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of any payment items applied to the Obligations, Agent shall have received either (i) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person deemed financially responsible by Agent whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent and Lenders from any such loss or

damage; or (ii) such monetary reserves and Liens on the Collateral for such period of time as Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to protect Agent from any such loss or damage. The provisions of Sections 2.7, 2.10, 2.11, 2.13, 2.22, 2.26 and this Section 2.28 and all obligations of Borrowers to indemnify Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, shall in all events survive any termination of the Commitments and Full Payment of the Obligations.

(iv) Prepayments Do Not Constitute Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, no Commitment shall be terminated other than as provided in this Section 2.28 or Section 8.1 and no prepayment made under Section 2.20 shall result in the automatic reduction of the Commitments.

Except as, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Credit Party, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan, (ii) each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status, (iii) no liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be

incurred by each Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, (iv) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, and (v) except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no Credit Party, none of its Subsidiaries and none of their ERISA Affiliates sponsor, maintain or contribute to or have sponsored, maintained or contributed to any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA which provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of any Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Employee Benefit Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by any Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Employee Benefit Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Employee Benefit Plan by more than an amount which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of any Credit Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA) from such Multiemployer Plan, when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 101(l) of ERISA is not more than an amount which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Credit Party, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.24. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Credit Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of Euramax or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to any Credit Party, in the case of any document not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Credit Parties to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results.

5.9. Environmental.

(a) Environmental Disclosure.

(i) Promptly upon the discovery thereof by Euramax or any of its Subsidiaries, Euramax shall deliver to Agent written notice describing in reasonable detail (1) any Release that could reasonably be expected to require a Remedial Action or give rise to Environmental Claims resulting in Euramax or its Subsidiaries incurring liability or expenses that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to exceed $2,500,000, (2) any Remedial Action taken by Euramax, its Subsidiaries or any other Person in response to any Hazardous Materials Activities the existence of which has a reasonable possibility of resulting in one or more Environmental Claims resulting in liability of Euramax or its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to exceed $2,500,000, (3) any Environmental Claims (including any requests for information by a Governmental Authority) that could reasonably be expected to result in liability of Euramax or its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to exceed $2,500,000, and (4) any occurrence or condition at any Facility, or on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of any Facility, that could cause such Facility or any part thereof to be subject to any material restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any Environmental Laws;

(ii) After Agent’s receipt of a written notice pursuant to this Section 5.9(a), Agent may, but is not obligated to, require Euramax to submit to Agent semi-annually a written report on the status of (A) any non-compliance with Environmental Law, (B) any pending or threatened Environmental Claim, and (C) any Remedial Action that, in each case, could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability that could reasonably be expected to exceed $2,500,000. Such report shall specify in reasonable detail (1) the status of the matter including any significant developments since the date of the prior report, (2) any technical reports or material correspondence prepared or received relating to the matter, (3) the proposed plan for resolution or completion of the matter, and (4) the anticipated cost to achieve such resolution or completion of the matter. At the reasonable written request of Agent, Euramax shall provide Agent with copies of all material documents related to such matters that are in its or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control. At Agent’s reasonable written request, Euramax shall, at its own expense, retain an independent environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to Agent to evaluate the adequacy of Euramax and its Subsidiaries’ actions to correct, cure or contest any

such matter. Such environmental engineer shall be authorized to conduct all appropriate tests and investigations, including, but not limited to, the taking samples of air, soil, surface water, groundwater, effluent, and building materials, and shall prepare and deliver to both Euramax and Agent, a report setting forth the results of such evaluation, recommendations for further response actions, and an estimate of the costs thereof. In addition, at Agent’s reasonable written request Euramax shall provide to Agent a supplemental report of such engineer whenever the scope of the matter, the response thereto, or the estimated costs thereof shall increase in any significant respect;

(iii) Euramax shall deliver to Agent and Lenders, prompt written notice describing in reasonable detail (1) any proposed acquisition of stock, assets, or property by Euramax or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to expose Euramax or any of its Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Claims that could reasonably be expected to exceed $2,500,000 and (2) any proposed action to be taken by Euramax or any of its Subsidiaries to modify current operations in a manner that could reasonably be expected to subject Euramax or any of its Subsidiaries to any additional material obligations or requirements under Environmental Laws; and

(iv) Euramax shall deliver to Agent and Lenders with reasonable promptness, such other material documents and information as from time to time may be reasonably requested by Agent in relation to any matters addressed by this Section 5.9(a).

(b) Hazardous Materials Activities, Etc. Each Credit Party shall take, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries promptly to take, any reasonable actions necessary to (i) cure any violation of applicable Environmental Laws by such Credit Party or its Subsidiaries that, individually, could reasonably be expected to result in liability of Euramax or its Subsidiaries in excess of $2,500,000, and (ii) make an appropriate response to any Environmental Claim against such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries and discharge any obligations it may have to any Person thereunder where failure to do so could reasonably be expected to result, individually, in liability of Euramax or its Subsidiaries in excess of $2,500,000.

(i) With respect to any matter disclosed pursuant to subsection (a) above, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent and its representatives shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any reasonable time and after reasonable written notice and without unreasonable disruption of business, to enter into and observe the condition and operations of the Facilities. At the reasonable written request of Agent, Euramax shall conduct such tests and investigations, including the preparation of a Phase I environmental site assessment on any part of the Facilities or the taking of samples of air, soil, surface water, groundwater, effluent, and building materials, as reasonably directed by Agent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if Euramax does not undertake such tests and investigations in a reasonably timely manner, Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to hire an independent engineer, at Euramax’s expense, to conduct such tests and investigations. Agent will make commercially reasonable efforts to conduct any such tests and investigations so as to avoid interfering with the operation of the Facility.

(ii) The exercise of Agent’s rights under this subsection (c) shall not constitute a waiver of any default by Euramax or any Subsidiary and shall not impose any liability on Agent or any of the Lenders except to the extent such liability arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by

a court of competent jurisdiction. In no event will any site visit, observation, test or investigation by Agent be deemed either a duty or obligation or a representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not present in, on or under any of the Facilities, or that there has been or will be compliance with any Environmental Law and Agent shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty to any party regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of any report or findings with regard thereto. Without express written authorization, neither Euramax nor any other Person shall be entitled to rely on any site visit observation, test or investigation by Agent. Agent and the Lenders owe no duty of care to protect Euramax or any other party against, or to inform Euramax or any other party of, any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse condition affecting any of the Facilities except to the extent required by Environmental Law. Agent may in its discretion disclose to Euramax or to any other Person if and to the extent required by Environmental Law any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation, testing or investigation by Agent. If Agent is requested to disclose any such report or finding to any Person, then Agent shall use its best efforts to give Euramax prior notice of such disclosure and afford Euramax the opportunity to object or defend against such disclosure at its own and sole cost; provided, that the failure of Agent to give any such notice or afford Euramax the opportunity to object or defend against such disclosure shall not result in any liability to Agent. Euramax acknowledges that it or its Subsidiaries may be obligated to notify relevant Governmental Authorities regarding the results of any site visit, observation, testing or investigation by Agent and that such reporting requirements are site and fact-specific, and are to be evaluated by Euramax without advice or assistance from Agent. Nothing herein shall be construed as releasing Agent from any liability to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

5.10. Subsidiaries. In the event that any Person becomes a Domestic Subsidiary of any Credit Party, such Credit Party shall (a) promptly cause such Domestic Subsidiary to become a Guarantor hereunder (or if requested by Agent, a co-Borrower) and a Grantor under the Pledge and Security Agreement by executing and delivering to Agent a Counterpart Agreement and (b) take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments, agreements, and certificates as are similar to those described in Section 3.1(b), 3.1(k), and 3.1(p). With respect to each such Subsidiary, Borrower Agent shall promptly send to Agent written notice setting forth with respect to such Person (i) the date on which such Person became a Subsidiary of any Credit Party, and (ii) all of the data required to be set forth in Schedules 4.1 and 4.2 with respect to all Subsidiaries of Credit Parties; provided, such written notice shall be deemed to supplement Schedule 4.1 and 4.2 for all purposes hereof. In connection with any Domestic Subsidiary that becomes a Borrower or a Guarantor after the Closing Date, if Borrowers request that Agent include such Domestic Subsidiary’s Accounts and Inventory in the Borrowing Base, Agent shall have the right to determine the eligibility for inclusion in the Borrowing Base of the Accounts and Inventory of such new Domestic Subsidiary following receipt of appraisals and field exams and other assessments of such Accounts and Inventory engaged by Agent, at Borrowers’ expense, and upon such determination by Agent such Accounts and Inventory of such new Domestic Subsidiary that are eligible for inclusion in the Borrowing Base shall be included in the Borrowing Base.

perfection of) Agent’s Lien upon the Collateral and shall take such other action as may be requested by Agent to give effect to or carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement and effect fully the purposes of the Credit Documents. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing (and to the extent not already in effect and to the extent permitted by applicable laws), each Credit Party shall take such actions as Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations (or relevant part thereof) are guarantied by the Guarantors and are secured by the Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by each Credit Party.

5.16. Maintenance of Dominion Accounts and Collections of Receivables.

(i) Maintenance of Dominion Accounts. Borrowers shall maintain such Dominion Accounts pursuant to a lockbox or other arrangement acceptable to Agent and, in each case, with such bank(s) as may be selected by Borrowers and be acceptable to Agent. Borrowers shall issue to each such lockbox bank an irrevocable letter of instruction directing such bank to deposit all payments or other remittances received in the lockbox to the applicable Dominion Account. Borrowers shall enter into Control Agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, with each depository bank at which such Dominion Accounts are maintained by which such bank shall immediately transfer to the Collections Account all monies deposited to such Dominion Account. All funds deposited in each Dominion Account (that is not itself the Collections Account) shall be and remain subject to Agent’s Lien. In addition, each such Control Agreement shall provide for the applicable depository bank to waive any offset rights against the funds deposited into such Dominion Account, except offset rights in respect of charges incurred in the administration of such Dominion Account. Neither Agent nor any of the Lenders assume any responsibility to Borrowers for such lockbox arrangement or Dominion Accounts, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder.

(ii) Collection of Accounts and Collateral Proceeds. To expedite collection of the Accounts and other Receivables, each Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of such Borrower’s Accounts and other Receivables for Agent and Lenders. Borrowers agree that they shall (i) request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that

all Account Debtors forward payment directly to the applicable Dominion Account (or lockboxes related to the Dominion Account), and (ii) deposit and cause their respective subsidiaries to deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first business day after the date of receipt thereof, all cash or payment items, in respect of any Collateral (whether or not otherwise delivered to a lockbox) into such Dominion Account. Further, each of Borrowers agrees that it shall issue to each such lockbox bank an irrevocable letter of instruction directing such bank to deposit all payments or other remittances received in the lockbox to the applicable Dominion Account. All payment items received by a Borrower in respect of its Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by such Borrower as trustee of an express trust for Agent’s and Lenders’ benefit; such Borrower shall immediately deposit any payment items received by such Borrower in kind in a Dominion Account; if such Dominion Account is not the Collections Account, such funds in such Dominion Account shall be transferred to the Collections Account; and Agent may remit all collected funds in the Collections Account to Lenders for application to the Obligations in the manner authorized by this Agreement. Agent retains the right at all times that a Default or an Event of Default exists to notify Account Debtors of any Borrower that Accounts have been assigned to Agent and to collect Accounts directly in its own name and to charge to Borrowers the collection costs and expenses incurred by Agent, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. At any time an Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right to settle or adjust all disputes as to claims directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of any Account upon such terms and conditions as Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs and expenses thereof, including attorneys’ fees to Borrowers.

Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2.

7.3. Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2 and 7.13, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrowers to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a), or any equivalent provision in any applicable jurisdiction), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrowers’ becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar legislation in any jurisdiction, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrowers’ for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

7.4. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than Full Payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or valid release of a Guarantor in accordance with the Credit Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

104

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrowers and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrowers and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrowers, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrowers or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrowers are joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrowers or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or the Hedge Agreements; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than Full Payment of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any

105

claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or the Hedge Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which Borrowers may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

7.5. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of any Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than Full Payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in

106

Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

7.6. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrowers or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrowers, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.7. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

7.8. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

7.9. Authority of Guarantors or Borrowers. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or any Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

107

7.10. Financial Condition of Borrowers. Any Credit Extension may be made to any Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of such Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of any Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from any Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of any Borrower and their ability to perform their obligations under the Credit Documents and the Hedge Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of any Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of any Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

7.11. Bankruptcy, etc. (a) Without limiting any Guarantor’s ability to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition in respect of itself (but subject to the rights and remedies in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.1), so long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against any Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by any defense which any Borrower or any Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Agent, or allow the claim of Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by any Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

7.12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged

108

and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale.

7.13. Reserved.

(x) The right to require Borrowers to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit or to provide a back-up letter of credit acceptable to Agent in all respects and from a financial institution acceptable to Agent in all respects, and if Borrowers fail promptly to make such deposit, Agent may (and shall upon the direction of the Requisite Lenders) advance such amount as a Revolver Loan (whether or not an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or is created thereby or the Commitments have been terminated). Any such deposit or advance shall be held by Agent in the Cash Collateral Account to fund future payments with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit. At such time as all Letters of Credit have been drawn upon or expired, any amounts remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied against any outstanding Obligations, or, after Full Payment of all Obligations, returned to Borrowers.

(y) Further, the Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to use, license or sub-license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Obligor or any other Person) any or all of each Borrower’s intellectual property and all of each Borrower’s computer hardware and software trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, and packaging materials, and any property of a similar nature, in advertising for sale,

111

marketing, selling and collecting and in completing the manufacturing of any Collateral, and each Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Agent’s benefit.

SECTION 9. AGENT

9.1. Appointment of Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates Regions as Agent to act as herein specified. Agent may, and each Lender by its acceptance of a Note and becoming a party to this Agreement shall be deemed irrevocably to have authorized Agent to, enter into all Credit Documents to which Agent is or is intended to be a party and all amendments hereto and all Collateral Documents at any time executed by any Credit Party, for its benefit and the benefit of Lenders and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, to exercise such rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other rights and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent, Co-Collateral Agent or the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, and the exercise by Agent, Co-Collateral Agent or the Requisite Lenders of any of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Unless and until the authority to do so is revoked in writing by Requisite Lenders, Agent (or Agent and Co-Collateral Agent collectively) shall be authorized to determine (i) whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory (basing such determination in each case upon the meanings given to such terms in Section 1), (ii) whether to impose or release any Reserve, and to exercise their own Credit Judgment in connection therewith and (iii) whether to decrease advance rates, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent (or as applicable, Co-Collateral Agent) from any liability to Lenders or any other Person for any errors in judgment. If Co-Collateral Agent wishes to request a change with respect to any item described in the clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the foregoing sentence, then Co-Collateral Agent shall notify Agent in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to such requested change and shall participate in any discussions, if requested by Agent, with Borrower Agent in connection therewith. In the event that Agent and Co-Collateral Agent are unable to reach agreement collectively on the action to be taken with respect to any of the items noted in such clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, then the determination of Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall control that results in the lower amount of the Borrowing Base.

9.2. Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Credit Documents. Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Credit Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing herein or any of the other Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any function, duty, responsibility, obligation or other liability in respect hereof or any of the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

9.3. General Immunity

(a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Credit Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by Agent to Lenders or by

112

or on behalf of any Credit Party, and Lender in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Agent nor Regions (as the maker of Swingline Loans) nor Issuer shall have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the LC Obligations or the component amounts thereof.

(b) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused primarily by Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or from taking of any action (including failing to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 11.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders, Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, including any electronic transmission (including any information or document transmitted electronically by any means), and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for a Borrower and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it and shall not be responsible for any action of any sub-agent selected by it without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; and (ii) no person shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 11.5, each of which instruction shall be deemed an authorization from all Lenders to Agent and shall be binding on all Lenders). Notwithstanding any instruction from the Lenders, Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action that is, in the opinion of Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Credit Document or any requirement of applicable law.

(c) Delegation of Duties. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent. Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Article 9 shall apply to any the Affiliates of Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Article 9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by Agent (unless otherwise provided by Agent), (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges

113

(including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

9.4. Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, Agent and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Credit Parties for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

9.5. Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries without reliance upon Agent and without reliance upon any document solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Agent. Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders. In addition (and without limiting the foregoing), (i) Agent shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Credit Document, (ii) Agent does not make any warranty or representation, and Agent shall not be responsible, to any Secured Party for any statement, document, information, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of any sub-agent or affiliate, in or in connection with any Credit Document or any transaction contemplated therein, whether or not transmitted by Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by Agent in connection with the Credit Documents and (iii) Agent shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Credit Document, whether any condition set forth in any Credit Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Credit Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from the Borrower, any Lender or any Issuer describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default”.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its applicable Loan on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date.

114

9.6. Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata share, severally agrees to indemnify Agent and its Affiliates and all of Agent’s and its Affiliates present and future officers, directors, agents, employees and attorneys (“Agent Indemnitees”) to the extent that Agent Indemnitees shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party (and without limiting any Credit Party’s obligation to do so), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable advisors’ fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent Indemnitees in connection with any Credit Document or with any of its powers, rights, remedies or duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Agent in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the preparation thereof or any amendment, modification or termination thereof; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements primarily resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). If any indemnity furnished to Agent Indemnitees for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify Agent Indemnitees against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify Agent Indemnitees against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

9.7. Successor Agent and Swingline Loan Lender. Agent may resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower Agent. Subject to the appointment of a successor Agent, the resignation of Agent shall be effective immediately upon the giving of such notice, whereupon Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. In such event, all Obligations owing to Agent shall be due and payable by the Borrowers upon giving of such notice. Upon any such notice of resignation, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Borrowers, to appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, that successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall promptly, at the expense of the Borrowers (or, if not reimbursed by the Credit Parties, the Lenders pursuant to and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.6), (i) transfer to such successor Agent, all Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Agent an assignment to the Intercreditor Agreement (or such other writing addressed to the Senior Secured Notes Indenture Trustee binding itself to the terms thereof), and such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary in connection with the assignment to such successor Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent hereunder or otherwise required (or necessary or appropriate) to be taken by Agent thereafter. Any resignation of Regions or its successor as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation of Regions or its successor as the Lender of Swingline Loans, and any successor Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor to Regions as the Lender of Swingline Loans for all purposes hereunder with all of the rights, powers and privileges of the retiring Lender of Swingline Loans. In such event Borrowers shall prepay any outstanding Swingline Loans made by Regions (together with any interest accrued thereunder and fees, expenses and other Obligations owing to Regions).

115

9.8. Collateral Documents and Guaranty; Examination Reports.

(a) Agent under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Lender (and Issuer for purposes of clause (v) below) hereby further authorizes Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, (i) to act as disbursing and collecting agent with respect of payments and collection in connection with Credit Documents, (ii) to act as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of perfection of all Liens created by the Collateral Documents and for other purposes stated therein (including managing, supervising and dealing with the Collateral), (iii) to enter into the Collateral Documents, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Collateral Documents, (iv) to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, including the purchase option provided for in such Intercreditor Agreement, (v) to file and prove claims and other documents necessary or desirable to allow the claims of the Secured Parties with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation in any proceeding described in Sections 8.1(f) and (g) and any other similar proceedings and (vi) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Credit Documents on behalf of any Lender that has consented in writing. Subject to Section 11.5, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (x) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted hereby or to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 11.5) have otherwise consented or (y) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty in accordance with Section 7.12 or in connection with a sale or other disposition (including by merger or consolidation) of such Guarantor to which, or otherwise to the extent to which, Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 11.5) have otherwise consented.

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrowers, Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Agent, on behalf of Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Agent, provided, however, that Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender and Issuer to act as collateral sub-agent thereof for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, and may (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) further authorize such Lender and Issuer to take further actions for purposes of enforcing Liens thereunder or transferring such Collateral to Agent, and each Lender and Issuer agrees to take such further action to the extent, and only to the extent, so directed (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Agent at such sale. Should any Lender obtain possession of any Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

(c) Each Lender agrees that neither Regions nor Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any audit, examination, appraisal or other Collateral report (each a “Report”) and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any such Report; agrees that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations and that Regions or Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books and records as well as upon representations of Borrowers’ officers and employees; agrees to keep all Reports

116

confidential and strictly for its internal use and not to distribute the Reports (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to its Participants, attorneys, accountants and other Persons with whom such Lender has a confidential relationship) or use any Report in any other manner; and, without limiting the generality of any other indemnification contained herein, agrees to hold Agent and any other Person preparing a Report harmless from any action that the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any Loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or its purchase of, a loan or loans of any Credit Party, and to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each other such Person preparing a Report harmless from and against all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including attorneys’ fees incurred by Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or any part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

9.9. Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction (including any amounts received as adequate protection of a bank account deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code) of any Obligation of Borrowers (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata share of payments or reductions on account of such Obligations obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith (i) notify the other Lenders and Agent of such receipt and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction, net of costs incurred in connection therewith, on a Pro Rata basis, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or additional costs are incurred, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery or such additional costs, but without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 9.9 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

9.10. Remittance of Payments and Collections.

(a) All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made not later than the time set forth elsewhere in this Agreement on the Business Day such payment is due. Payment by Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, promptly following Agent’s receipt of funds for the account of such Lender and in the type of funds received by Agent; provided, however, that if Agent receives such funds at or prior to 12:00 noon, Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on such Business Day, but if Agent receives such funds after 12:00 noon, Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on the next Business Day.

(b) With respect to the payment of any funds from Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to Agent, the party failing to make full payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, on demand by the other party, pay such amount together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive any credit for any interest paid by Agent to any Lender, or by any Lender to Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as provided herein.

(c) If Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the belief that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from a Credit Party and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from each Lender that receives such amount. If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by it under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents must be returned to a Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any applicable law, court order or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this

117

Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender.

9.11. Agent Titles. Any Lender identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a documentation agent or syndication agent (but not as a “Collateral and Administrative Agent,” “Agent” or “Co-Collateral Agent”) shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender so identified as a documentation agent or syndication agent shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Lender so identified as a documentation agent or syndication agent in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or refraining to take any action under any of the Credit Documents.

11.2. Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations. If any Borrower shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, Agent may, in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time, for such Borrower’s account and at Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of Borrowers hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (i) enforce any of the Credit Documents or collect any of the Obligations, (ii) preserve, protect, insure or maintain or realize upon any of the Collateral, or (iii) preserve, defend, protect or maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any of the Collateral, including the payment of any judgment against any Borrower, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any landlord claim, any other Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral (whether or not a Permitted Lien). All payments that Agent may make under this Section and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) that Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall be reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers on demand with interest from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable for Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

11.3. Indemnity.

(a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 2.7, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Credit Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, Agent, Issuer and Lender and the officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees, agents, sub-agents, investment advisors and Affiliates of Agent and each Lender (each, an “Indemnitee”, and collectively, together with Agent Indemnitees and Regions Indemnitees, the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to Issuer in the event of the wrongful dishonor by Issuer of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it (it being understood that no dishonor as a result of Governmental Act shall constitute a wrongful dishonor. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against Lenders, Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, sub-agents, trustees or advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(c) without the prior written consent of Issuer or Agent, no amendment or waiver with respect to any of the LC Obligations or the provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.22 or 3.2 shall be effective;

(d) without the prior written consent of each affected Lender (except in the case of clauses (3) and (4) below, a Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 2.16), no amendment or waiver shall be effective that would (1) increase or otherwise modify any Commitment of such Lender (other than to reduce such Lender’s Commitment on a proportionate basis with the same Commitments of other Lenders); (2) alter (other than to increase) the rate of interest payable in respect of any Obligations owed to such Lender; (3) waive or defer collection of any interest or fee payable to such Lender pursuant to Sections 2.5 or 2.6; or (4) subordinate the payment of any Obligations owed to such Lender to the payment of any Indebtedness (except as expressly provided in Section 2.22; and

(f) No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for or as an inducement to the consent to or agreement by such Lender with any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to the extent that the agreement of all Lenders to any such waiver or amendment is required, unless such remuneration or thing of value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata or other mutually agreed upon basis to all Lenders; provided, however, that Borrowers may contract to pay a fee only to those Lenders who actually vote in writing to approve any waiver or amendment of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to the extent that such waiver or amendment may be implemented by vote of the Requisite Lenders and such waiver or amendment is in fact approved.

(g) Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such

120

request or giving such a authority or consent, is a Lender, shall be conclusive and binding upon any successor, assign or participant of such Lender.

11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of Agent and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Register. Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof as provided in Section 11.6(d). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register on the Business Day the Assignment Agreement is received by Agent, if received by 12:00 p.m. (noon) (Atlanta, Georgia Time), and on the following Business Day if received after such time, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to Borrowers and a copy of such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.” Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.

(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligation (provided, however, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan and any related Commitments):

(i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to Borrower Agent and Agent; and

(ii) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” and, in the case only of assignments of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments to any such Person consented to by each of Borrower Agent and Agent (such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld or delayed or, (y) in the case of Borrower Agent, required at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing);

121

provided, further each such assignment pursuant to this Section 11.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than (A) $2,500,000 as of trade date, if specified (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Borrower Agent and Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans.

(d) Mechanics. In connection with any assignments, the applicable assignee that becomes a Lender hereunder shall deliver to Agent such forms with respect to United States Federal tax withholding matters as such assignee is required to deliver under Section 2.26. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.6, the disposition of such Revolving Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(e) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11.6, as of the “Assignment Effective Date” (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register, and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof and shall be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement as a Lender hereunder; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 11.9) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (y) Issuer shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (z) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Agent for cancellation, and thereupon applicable Borrower, at such Borrower’s sole expense, shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(f) Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (each such Person, a “Participant”) (other than Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability

122

of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. Each Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9, 2.11 or 2.13 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or 2.13 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the applicable Borrower’s prior written consent and (ii) a participant that would be a Non U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 unless each Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.26 as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.9 as though it were a Lender.

(g) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 11.6, any Lender may, without the consent of Borrowers or Agent, assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender as collateral security for such obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders; provided, no Lender, as between Borrowers and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder, until such time as such Federal Reserve Bank, pledge or trustee has complied with the provisions of this Section 11.6 regarding assignments.

(h) Each Person that becomes a Lender after the Closing Date shall be deemed to be bound by the Intercreditor Agreement whether or not a signatory thereto, including, without limitation, Section 12 thereof.

(i) Each Lender that grants a participation pursuant to Section 11.6(f) of this Agreement shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amount of each Participant’s interest in such Lender’s Commitments, Loans or any other Obligations (the “Participant Register”). The entries made in the Participant Register shall constitute rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information contained therein; provided, however, that if a copy of information contained in the Participant Register is provided to any Person, or any Person inspects the Participant Register, at any time or from time to time, then the information contained in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, unless any Person notifies the applicable Lender in writing within thirty (30) days after such Person’s receipt of such copy or such Person’s inspection of the Participant Register of its intention to dispute the information contained therein. Each Borrower hereby designates each Lender to serve as such Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the applicable Participant Register as provided in this Section.

123

11.7. Replacement of Certain Lenders. If (a) no Event of Default exists and Borrower Agent requests in writing the replacement of the Co-Collateral Agent in its capacity as Co-Collateral Agent and as a Lender hereunder or (b) a Lender shall have (i) become a Defaulting Lender under the terms of this Agreement and its default has not been cured, (ii) requested compensation from Borrowers under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 2.25 to recover increased costs incurred by such Lender (or its parent or holding company) which are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders (or their respective parents or holding companies) or becomes entitled to increased payments under Section 2.25, (iii) delivered a notice pursuant to Section 2.9 claiming that such Lender is unable to extend LIBOR Loans to Borrowers for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders or (iv) failed or refused to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all of the Lenders is required and in respect of which the Requisite Lenders have consented (any Lender referenced in clauses (a) or (b) above hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”), then, in any such case under either clauses (a) or (b) above, and in addition to any other rights and remedies that Agent, any other Lender or any Borrower may have against such Affected Lender, any Borrower or Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to Agent in the case of a demand by Borrowers and a copy to Borrowers in the case of a demand by Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and Acceptances within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more Lenders willing to accept such assignment or assignments, or to one or more Eligible Assignees designated by Agent, all of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment and all Loans owing to it) in accordance with Section 11.6. Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to execute one or more Assignment and Acceptances as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender which fails or refuses to execute and deliver the same within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand. The Affected Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash and concurrently with execution and delivery of each such Assignment and Acceptance, all amounts owed to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document, including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment (but excluding any prepayment penalty or termination charge). Upon the replacement of any Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 11.7, such Affected Lender shall cease to have any participation in, entitlement to, or other right to share in the Liens of Agent in any Collateral and such Affected Lender shall have no further liability to Agent, any Lender or any other Person under any of the Credit Documents (except as provided in Section 9.6 as to events or transactions which occur prior to the replacement of such Affected Lender), including any Commitment to make Loans or purchase participations in LC Obligations. Agent shall have the right at any time, but shall not be obligated to, upon written notice to any Lender and with the consent of such Lender (which may be granted or withheld in such Lender’s discretion), to purchase for Agent’s own account all of such Lender’s right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Obligations (together with such Lender’s interest in the Commitments), for the face amount of the Obligations owed to such Lender (or such greater or lesser amount as Agent and Lender may mutually agree upon).

11.8. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

11.9. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.21, 2.22, 2.23, 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.20, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof.

124

11.10. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

11.11. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Agent or Lenders (or to Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

11.12. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

11.13. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

11.14. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

11.15. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAWS).

11.16. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN

125

ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN XXX XXXXX, XXXXXX XXX XXXX XX XXX XXXX. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (i) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (ii) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (iii) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.1; (iv) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (iii) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (v) AGREES AGENT AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

11.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/EURAMAX RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 11.17 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

11.18. Confidentiality. Each Lender shall hold all non public information regarding each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by any Credit Party and obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Credit Parties that, in any event, a Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender and to their agents, employees, officers, directors, trustees, attorneys, accountants and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such

126

information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 11.18), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee, pledgee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) in Hedge Agreements (provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.18), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it; provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from Agent or any Lender, and (iv) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower Agent of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non public information prior to disclosure of such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each party (and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitations of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to any such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the parties hereto, their respective Affiliates, and their and their respective Affiliates’ directors and employees to comply with applicable securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” means any facts relevant to the federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement but does not include information relating to the identity of any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates. In the event of any conflict between this Section 11.18 and any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Credit Party, the terms of this Section 11.18 shall govern.

11.19. Certification Regarding Senior Secured Notes Indenture. Each Credit Party hereby certifies to Agent and Lenders that neither the execution or performance of this Agreement by such Credit Party nor the incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents violates any provision of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture. Each Credit Party further certifies to Agent and Lenders that (i) all of the Commitments constitute a “Credit Facility” (or the equivalent term defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture) under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, and (ii) that all Obligations collectively constitute “ABL Obligations” (or the equivalent term defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture) under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture.

11.20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

11.21. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrowers and Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

11.22. PATRIOT Act. Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify

127

and record information that identifies Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Act.

11.23. Electronic Transmissions.

(a) Authorization. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.1, Agent, Borrower, Lender, Issuer and each of their affiliates and sub-agent and each of their respective employees, agents, officers and directors is authorized (but not required) to transmit or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Credit Document and the transactions contemplated therein. Each Credit Party and Agent, each Lender and Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

(b) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ALL ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS SUB-AGENTS, AFFILIATES AND NONE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, AGENT, DIRECTORS OR OFFICERS WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND EACH DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS THEREIN. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY ANY AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUB-AGENTS OR ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENT, DIRECTORS OR OFFICERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS. Each Credit Party and each Secured Party agrees that Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission.

11.24. Public Disclosures. Each Credit Party agrees that it shall not, and none of its Affiliates shall, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of the Securities of any Credit Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to Regions or of any of its Affiliates, the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated therein to which the Secured Parties are party without at least 2 Business Days’ prior notice to Regions and without the prior consent of Regions except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with Regions prior thereto.

11.25. Intercreditor Agreement. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.8(a)(iv), each Lender hereunder: (a) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, and (c) authorizes and instructs Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement as ABL Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) on behalf of such Lender.

11.26. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement and the other “Credit Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement). All rights, benefits, indebtedness, interests, liabilities and obligations of the parties to the Existing Credit Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Existing Credit Documents”) are hereby renewed, amended, restated and superseded in their entirety according to the terms and provisions set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. This Agreement does not constitute, nor shall it result

128

in, a waiver of or release, discharge or forgiveness of any amount payable pursuant to the Existing Credit Documents or any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of Credit Parties thereunder, all of which are renewed and continued and are hereafter payable and to be performed in accordance with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document extinguishes the indebtedness or liabilities outstanding in connection with the Existing Credit Documents, nor do they constitute a novation with respect thereto. All security interests, pledges, assignments and other Liens previously granted by any Credit Party pursuant to the Existing Credit Documents are hereby renewed and continued, and all such security interests, pledges, assignments and other Liens shall remain in full force and effect as security for the Obligations except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or the Pledge and Security Agreement. Amounts in respect of interest, fees and other amounts payable to or for the account of Agent and Lenders shall be calculated (i) in accordance with the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement with respect to any period (or a portion of any period) ending prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement with respect to any period (or a portion of any period) commencing on or after the Closing Date.
