-41- #53262136_v7 SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES 2.1. Revolver Commitment. 2.1.1.
Revolver Loans. On the Closing Date, the “Revolver Loans” and “Revolver
Commitments” (each as defined in the Initial Loan Agreement) held by the Lenders
shall be deemed to be Revolver Loans and Revolver Commitments under this
Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees, subject to its Revolver Commitment, on the
terms set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers from time to time
through the Commitment Termination Date. The Revolver Loans may be repaid and
reborrowed as provided herein. In no event shall Lenders have any obligation to
honor a request for a Revolver Loan if the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans
outstanding at such time (including the requested Loan) would exceed the
Borrowing Base. 2.1.2. Revolver Notes. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender
and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and
such Lender. At the request of any Lender, Borrowers shall deliver to such
Lender a promissory note evidencing its Revolver Loans. 2.1.3. Use of Proceeds.
The proceeds of Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely (a) to pay fees
and transaction expenses associated with the closing of this credit facility;
(b) to pay Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (c) for lawful
corporate purposes of Borrowers, including working capital. 2.1.4. Voluntary
Reduction or Termination of Revolver Commitments. (a) The Revolver Commitments
shall terminate on the Revolver Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in
accordance with this Agreement. Upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior written
notice to Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Revolver
Commitments and this credit facility. Any notice of termination given by
Borrowers shall be irrevocable. On the termination date, Borrowers shall make
Full Payment of all Obligations. (b) Borrowers may permanently reduce the
Revolver Commitments, on a Pro Rata basis for each Lender, upon at least 5
Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent, which notice shall specify the
amount of the reduction and shall be irrevocable once given. Each reduction (in
the aggregate for all Lenders) shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, or an
increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 2.1.5. Overadvances. If the aggregate
Revolver Loans exceed the Borrowing Base (“Overadvance”) at any time, the excess
amount shall be payable by Borrowers on demand by Agent, but all such Revolver
Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and
entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Agent may require Lenders to
honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to
cure an Overadvance, either if (a) no other Event of Default is known to Agent,
as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive
days and (ii) the Overadvance is not known by Agent to exceed $25,000,000, or
(b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, Agent discovers an
Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of
such discovery the Overadvance (i) is not increased by more than $2,500,000, and
(ii) does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall
Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the outstanding Revolver Loans
and LC Obligations to exceed the

[exhibit101uscthirdarloan047.jpg]
-42- #53262136_v7 aggregate Revolver Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance
Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or
Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower
or other Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to
enforce any of its terms. 2.1.6. Protective Advances. Agent shall be authorized,
in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are not
satisfied to make Base Rate Revolver Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) up to an
aggregate amount of $25,000,000 outstanding at any time, if Agent deems such
Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance
the collectability or repayment of Obligations, as long as such Loans do not
cause the outstanding Revolver Loans and LC Obligations to exceed the aggregate
Revolver Commitments; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Obligors
under any Loan Documents, including interest, costs, fees and expenses. Each
Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis.
Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authority to make further
Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to Agent. Absent such
revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is
appropriate shall be conclusive. 2.1.7. Increase in Revolver Commitments.
Borrowers may request an increase in Revolver Commitments from time to time upon
notice to Agent (a “Revolver Commitments Increase Event”), as long as (i) the
requested increase is in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and is offered on the
same terms as existing Revolver Commitments, except for a closing fee specified
by Agent, (ii) increases under this Section 2.1.7 after the Closing Date do not
exceed $150,000,000 in the aggregate and no more than three increases are made,
(iii) no reduction in Revolver Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1.4 has
occurred prior to the requested increase, and (iv) the requested increase does
not cause (1) this Agreement to cease being an “ABL Agreement” pursuant to any
Intercreditor Agreement (if then in effect) or enjoy similar rights and benefits
under any intercreditor agreement (if any) relating to any Refinancing Debt
refinancing or refunding the Senior Notes or any Permitted Secured Debt, or (2)
the Revolver Commitments to cease being “Permitted Indebtedness” (or similar
term) under the Senior Notes Agreement, any Permitted Secured Debt or under any
comparable agreement relating to any Refinancing Debt in respect of the Senior
Notes or any Permitted Secured Debt. Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of
the requested increase and, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, each
Lender shall notify Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase
its Revolver Commitment. Any Lender not responding within such period shall be
deemed to have declined an increase. If Lenders fail to commit to the full
requested increase, Eligible Assignees may issue additional Revolver Commitments
and become Lenders hereunder. Agent may allocate, in consultation with Borrower
Agent, the increased Revolver Commitments among committing Lenders and, if
necessary, Eligible Assignees. Provided the conditions set forth in Section 6.2
are satisfied, total Revolver Commitments shall be increased by the requested
amount (or such lesser amount committed by Lenders and Eligible Assignees) on a
date agreed upon by Agent and Borrower Agent, but no later than 45 days
following Borrowers’ increase request. Agent, Obligors, and new and existing
Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Agent deems
appropriate to evidence the increase in and allocations of Revolver Commitments.
On the effective date of an increase, all outstanding Revolver Loans, LC
Obligations and other exposures under the Revolver Commitments shall be
reallocated among Lenders, and settled by Agent if necessary, in accordance with
Lenders’ adjusted shares of such Revolver Commitments. In no event shall the
provisions of this Section 2.1.7 or any other provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document be deemed

any increase in the Revolver Commitments and Borrowers agree that any such
increase shall be at the sole option of each Lender. 2.2. Letter of Credit
Facility. 2.2.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit. Borrowers acknowledge and agree
that, as of the Closing Date, the “Letters of Credit” listed on Schedule 2.2.1
have been issued and are outstanding under the Initial Loan Agreement. On the
Closing Date, such “Letters of Credit” automatically, and without any action on
the part of any Person, shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder
for all purposes. Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of Credit from time to time
until 30 days prior to the Revolver Termination Date (or until the Commitment
Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the
following: (a) Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s issuance of any
Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing Bank’s receipt of a LC Application
with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other
instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance
of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Issuing Bank shall have no
obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) Issuing Bank receives a LC
Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested
date of issuance; (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting
Lender exists, such Lender or Borrowers have entered into arrangements
satisfactory to Agent and Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure
associated with such Lender. If, in sufficient time to act, Issuing Bank
receives written notice from Required Lenders that a LC Condition has not been
satisfied, Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested Letter of Credit. Prior to
receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any failure of LC Conditions. (b) Letters of Credit may be requested by a
Borrower to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or
as otherwise approved by Agent. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that delivery
of a new LC Application shall be required at the discretion of Issuing Bank. (c)
Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of
Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit,
none of Agent, Issuing Bank 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 any Documents; the form, validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any
endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of
goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods
referred to in a Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions,
delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any
goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor
and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or
delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail,
telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the
misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof;
or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank,
Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental

-44- #53262136_v7 Authority. The rights and remedies of Issuing Bank under the
Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to
the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are
discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit. (d) In connection with its
administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of
Credit or LC Documents, Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be
fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or
communication in whatever form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person.
Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other
experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, 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. Issuing Bank may
employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to
Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with
reasonable care. 2.2.2. Reimbursement; Participations. (a) If Issuing Bank
honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to
Issuing Bank, on the same day (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by Issuing
Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate
for Base Rate Revolver Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by
Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment
made 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 that Borrowers may have at any time against the
beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing,
Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolver
Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any
Reimbursement Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such
Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists
or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. It being
understood that in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate
Currency, the amount of such Letter of Credit to be reimbursed by the Borrowers
under this Section 2.2.2 shall be determined by taking the Dollar Amount of such
Letter of Credit. (b) Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be
deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Issuing Bank,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation
in all LC Obligations relating to the Letter of Credit. If Issuing Bank makes
any payment under a Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not reimburse such payment
on the Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender
shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for
the benefit of Issuing Bank, the Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon
request by a Lender, Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any Letters of Credit
and LC Documents in its possession at such time. It being understood that in the
case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, the amount of
such Lender’s payment in respect of such Letter of Credit under this Section
2.2.2 shall be determined by taking the Dollar Amount of such Letter of Credit.

[exhibit101uscthirdarloan050.jpg]
-45- #53262136_v7 (c) The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Agent
for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank’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 this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of
any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; 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; or the
existence of any setoff or defense that any Obligor may have with respect to any
Obligations. Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or
delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any
obligations under any LC Documents. Issuing Bank does not make to Lenders any
express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the
Collateral, LC Documents or any Obligor. Issuing Bank shall not be responsible
to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or
warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness,
effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness,
enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the
perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition,
results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any
Obligor. (d) No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other
Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Letter
of Credit or LC Document except as a result of its gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Issuing Bank may refrain from taking any action with respect to a
Letter of Credit until it receives written instructions from Required Lenders.
2.2.3. Cash Collateral. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or
payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of
Default exists, (b) that Availability is less than zero, (c) after the
Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within 20 Business Days prior to the
Revolver Termination Date, then Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank’s or Agent’s
request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit and pay to Issuing Bank the amount of all other LC Obligations. Borrowers
shall, on demand by Issuing Bank or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize
the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender. In addition, following any such
Cash Collateralization, the Agent may request at any time and from time to time
that the relevant Borrower provide additional Cash Collateral to ensure that the
amount deposited as Cash Collateral is in an amount equal to 105% of the
Fronting Exposure after giving effect to any exchange rate fluctuation with
respect to Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars. If
Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Lenders may
(and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Revolver Loans, the amount of
the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an
Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied). 2.2.4.
Resignation of Issuing Bank. Issuing Bank may resign at any time upon notice to
Agent and Borrowers. On and after the effective date of such resignation,
Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or
otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and
other obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder relating to any Letter of Credit
issued by it prior to such date. Agent shall promptly appoint a replacement
Issuing Bank, which (i) accepts such appointment and (ii) as long as no Default
or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrowers.

-46- #53262136_v7 SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES 3.1. Interest. 3.1.1.
Rates and Payment of Interest. (a) The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a
Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the
Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Loan; (ii) if a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for
the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans; and
(iii) if any other Obligation (including, to the extent permitted by law,
interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus
the Applicable Margin for the related Base Rate Loans. (b) During an Insolvency
Proceeding with respect to any Borrower, or during any other Event of Default if
Agent or Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, Obligations shall bear
interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Each
Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agent and Lenders due to an
Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair
and reasonable compensation for this. (c) Interest shall accrue from the date a
Loan is advanced or Obligation is incurred or payable, until paid in full by
Borrowers. Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears,
(i) on the first day of each month; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect
to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Commitment
Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and
payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified,
shall be due and payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest
accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand. 3.1.2.
Application of LIBOR to Outstanding Loans. (a) Borrowers may on any Business
Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, elect to
convert any portion of the Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any LIBOR Loan at
the end of its Interest Period as, a LIBOR Loan. During any Default or Event of
Default, Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that
no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan. (b) Whenever
Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as LIBOR Loans, Borrower Agent
shall give Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m.
at least three Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation
date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, Agent shall notify each Lender
thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall
specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or
continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the
Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified). If, upon
the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers
shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, they shall be
deemed to have elected to convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan052.jpg]
-47- #53262136_v7 3.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making,
conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an
interest period (“Interest Period”) to apply, which interest period shall be 30,
60, 90 or 180 days; provided, however, that: (a) the Interest Period shall begin
on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan,
and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at
its end; (b) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no
corresponding day in the calendar month at its end or if such corresponding day
falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall
expire on the last Business Day of such month; and if any Interest Period would
otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on
the next Business Day; and (c) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the
Revolver Termination Date. 3.1.4. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Agent
shall determine that on any date for determining LIBOR, due to any circumstance
affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining such rate on the basis provided herein, then Agent shall
immediately notify Borrowers of such determination. Until Agent notifies
Borrowers that such circumstance no longer exists, the obligation of Lenders to
make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and no further Loans may be converted into
or continued as LIBOR Loans. 3.2. Fees. 3.2.1. Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall
pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to the Unused
Line Fee Rate times the amount by which the Revolver Commitments exceed the
average daily balance of Revolver Loans and stated amount of Letters of Credit
during any month. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each
month and on the Commitment Termination Date. 3.2.2. LC Facility Fees. Borrowers
shall pay (a) to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to the
Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Loans times the average daily stated
amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on
the first day of each month; (b) to Agent, for its own account, a fronting fee
equal to 0.125% per annum on the stated amount of each Letter of Credit, which
fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; and (c)
to Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the
issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and
administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when
incurred. During an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (a) shall be
increased by 2% per annum. 3.2.3. Fee Letters. Borrowers shall pay all fees set
forth in any fee letter executed in connection with this Agreement. 3.3.
Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees
and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the
actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days. Each determination by Agent of
any interest, fees or interest rate

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan053.jpg]
-48- #53262136_v7 hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and
shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under
Section 3.2 are 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. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.7,
3.9 or 5.9, submitted to Borrower Agent by Agent or the affected Lender, as
applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party
within 10 days following receipt of the certificate. 3.4. Reimbursement
Obligations. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for all Extraordinary Expenses.
Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for all reasonable legal, accounting,
appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in
connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including
any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions
relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated
thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Agent’s
Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to
verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each
inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral,
whether prepared by Agent’s personnel or a third party. Unless specifically
provided for otherwise in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, amounts
payable under clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence shall be limited to
out-of-pocket amounts paid by the Agent. All legal, accounting and consulting
fees shall be charged to Borrowers by Agent’s professionals at their full hourly
rates, after giving effect to any applicable reduced or alternative fee billing
arrangements that Agent may have with such professionals with respect to this
transaction. In addition to the Extraordinary Expenses of Agent, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event Default, Borrowers shall
reimburse Lenders for the reasonable and documented fees, charges and
disbursements of one counsel (and if necessary, of one local counsel in each
other relevant jurisdiction (which may include a local counsel acting in each of
multiple jurisdictions)) for the Lenders, as a whole, in connection with the
enforcement, collection or protection of their respective rights under the Loan
Documents, including all such expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or Insolvency Proceeding; provided, that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, in the event that there is a conflict of interest
amongst the Lenders on the one hand or the Agent and the Lenders on the other
hand, the Lenders may engage and be reimbursed for one additional counsel,
subject to the foregoing limitations. If, for any reason (including inaccurate
reporting on financial statements or a Compliance Certificate), it is determined
that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was
actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and
Borrowers shall immediately pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders,
an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that
would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. All
amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall be due five (5) Business
Days after demand. 3.5. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable
Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that
it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make,
maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based
upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on
the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of,
Dollars or any Alternate Currency in the London interbank market, then, on
notice thereof by such Lender to Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or
continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan054.jpg]
-49- #53262136_v7 Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender
notifies Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers shall prepay or, if
applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on
the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid or converted. 3.6. Inability to Determine Rates. If Required
Lenders notify Agent in connection with a request for a Borrowing of, or
conversion to or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan that (a) Dollar deposits are not
being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the
applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining LIBOR for the requested Interest Period, or
(c) LIBOR for the requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then Agent will promptly
so notify Borrower Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders
to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until Agent (upon instruction
by Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower
Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of a LIBOR Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted
a request for a Base Rate Loan. 3.7. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 3.7.1.
Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall: (a) impose, modify or deem applicable
any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve
requirement reflected in LIBOR) or Issuing Bank; (b) subject any Lender or
Issuing Bank to any Tax with respect to any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of
Credit or participation in LC Obligations, or change the basis of taxation of
payments to such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 5.9 and the imposition of,
or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or Issuing
Bank); or (c) impose on any Lender, Issuing Bank or interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit,
participation in LC Obligations, or Commitment; and the result thereof shall be
to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or
Commitment, or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, Borrowers will pay to such Lender or
Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered. 3.7.2. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or
Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing
Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan055.jpg]
-50- #53262136_v7 such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any,
regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or holding
company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC
Obligations, to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Bank or holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s and holding company’s policies with
respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrowers
will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such
reduction suffered. 3.7.3. Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any
Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers
shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank for any increased
costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date
that the Lender or Issuing Bank notifies Borrower Agent of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof). 3.8. Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders
under Certain Circumstances. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or
requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if Borrowers are required to pay
additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.9, then such Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches
or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts
payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not
subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment. Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Lender that gives a
notice under Section 3.5 or 3.6 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or
if Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts with respect to a Lender
under Section 5.9, with a replacement lender; provided that (i) no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement,
(ii) the replacement lender shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts
owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iii) the
replacement lender, if not an Eligible Assignee, shall be satisfactory to the
Agent, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in
accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3, (v) the Borrowers shall pay all
additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.5 or 3.7, as the case
may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement
shall be consummated, and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Agent or any other Lender shall
have against the replaced Lender. 3.9. Funding Losses. If for any reason (other
than default by a Lender) (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation
of, a LIBOR Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b)
any repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day other than the end
of its Interest Period, (c) Borrowers fail to repay a LIBOR Loan when required

-51- #53262136_v7 hereunder, or (d) a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is
required to assign a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period pursuant
to Section 3.8 or 13.4, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent its customary
administrative charge and to each Lender all resulting losses and expenses,
including loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from
liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable to terminate deposits
of matching funds. Lenders shall not be required to purchase Dollar deposits in
any interbank or offshore Dollar market to fund any LIBOR Loan, but this Section
shall apply as if each Lender had purchased such deposits. 3.10. Maximum
Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, in
no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are
contracted for, charged or received by Agent or any Lender pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and that are deemed
interest under Applicable Law exceed the highest rate permissible under any
Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). No agreements, conditions, provisions or
stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan 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 Loan Documents, or the prepayment by any Obligor of any
of the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall
entitle Agent or Lenders 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 any Obligor 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 any Obligor 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 Obligor 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
Obligations and the balance, if any, returned to the Obligors, it being the
intent of the parties hereto not to enter into an 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 neither Agent nor any Lender
intends to collect any unearned Interest in the event of any such acceleration.
Each Obligor recognizes that, with fluctuations in the rates of interest set
forth in this Agreement, 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 Loan 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 Obligor
covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the
acceptance by each Obligor of such Excess, and (ii) each Obligor 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 any
Obligor in connection with any of the Loan 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. Obligors, Agent and
Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i)
characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium

[exhibit101uscthirdarloan057.jpg]
-52- #53262136_v7 rather than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof. The provisions of this Section 3.10 shall be deemed to
be incorporated into every Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this
Section is referred to therein). All such Loan Documents and communications
relating to any Interest owed by any Obligor and all figures set forth therein
shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of Obligations, be
automatically recomputed by the Obligors, and by any court considering the same,
to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by this Section 3.10.
SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION 4.1. Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver
Loans. 4.1.1. Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever Borrowers desire funding of a
Borrowing of Revolver Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Agent a Notice of
Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (i) on
the Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans,
and (ii) at least three Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in
the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed
received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable
and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding
date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as
Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and (D) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration
of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not
specified). (b) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the
becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other
charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and
Secured Bank Product Obligations) shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate
Revolver Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds
of such Revolver Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant
Obligation. In addition, Agent may, at its option, charge such Obligations
against any operating, investment or other account of a Borrower maintained with
Agent or any of its Affiliates. (c) If Borrowers maintain any disbursement
account with Agent or any Affiliate of Agent, then presentation for payment of
any Payment Item when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed
to be a request for a Base Rate Revolver Loan on the date of such presentation,
in the amount of the Payment Item. The proceeds of such Revolver Loan may be
disbursed directly to the disbursement account. 4.1.2. Fundings by Lenders. Each
Lender shall timely honor its Revolver Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share
of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans that is properly requested hereunder. Except
for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, Agent shall endeavor to notify
Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 3:00
p.m. on the proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans or by 3:00 p.m. at least
two Business Days before any proposed funding of LIBOR Loans. Each Lender shall
fund to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account
specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 4:00 p.m. on
the requested funding date, unless Agent’s notice is received after the times
provided above, in which case Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan058.jpg]
-53- #53262136_v7 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of
such amounts from Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolver
Loans as directed by Borrower Agent. Unless Agent shall have received (in
sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to
fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has
deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse
a corresponding amount to Borrowers. If a Lender’s share of any Borrowing or of
any settlement pursuant to Section 4.1.3(b) is not received by Agent, then
Borrowers agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together
with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate
applicable to the Borrowing. 4.1.3. Swingline Loans; Settlement. (a) Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, advance Swingline Loans to Borrowers, up to an
aggregate outstanding amount of $15,000,000, unless the funding is specifically
required to be made by all Lenders hereunder. Each Swingline Loan shall
constitute a Revolver Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall
be made to Agent for its own account. The obligation of Borrowers to repay
Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and need not be
evidenced by any promissory note. (b) Settlement of Swingline Loans and other
Revolver Loans among Lenders and Agent shall take place on a date determined
from time to time by Agent (but at least weekly), in accordance with the
Settlement Report delivered by Agent to Lenders. Between settlement dates, Agent
may in its discretion apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans,
regardless of any designation by Borrower or any provision herein to the
contrary. Each Lender’s obligation to make settlements with Agent is absolute
and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or
not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in
Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a
Borrower or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among Lenders
hereunder, then each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from Agent a Pro
Rata participation in such Loan and shall transfer the amount of such
participation to Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day
after Agent’s request therefor. 4.1.4. Notices. Borrowers may request, convert
or continue Loans, select interest rates and transfer funds based on telephonic
or e-mailed instructions to Agent. Borrowers shall confirm each such request by
prompt delivery to Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs materially 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 a
Borrower as a result of Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of
telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by
Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a
Borrower’s behalf. 4.2. Defaulting Lender. 4.2.1. Reallocation of Pro Rata
Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or
participate in Loans or Letters of Credit, Agent may exclude the Commitments and
Loans of any Defaulting Lender(s) from the calculation of Pro Rata shares;
provided, however, that in no event will any Lender be required to fund or
participate in Loans or Letters of Credit if as a result of such funding or
participation the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan059.jpg]
-54- #53262136_v7 aggregate amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loans and
participations in LC Obligations would exceed its Commitment. A Defaulting
Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other
modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 15.1.1(c). 4.2.2.
Payments; Fees. Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts
payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender
shall be deemed to have assigned to Agent such amounts until all Obligations
owing to Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid
in full. Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted
obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting
Exposure, or readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder. A Lender shall not be
entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is
a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be
disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 3.2.1.
If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulted Lender are reallocated to other
Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Section 3.2.2 shall be
paid to such Lenders. Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to LC
Obligations that are not reallocated. 4.2.3. Cure. Borrowers, Agent and Issuing
Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At
such time, Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such
Lender’s Commitments and Loans, and all outstanding Revolver Loans, LC
Obligations and other exposures under the Revolver Commitments shall be
reallocated among Lenders and settled by Agent (with appropriate payments by the
reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless
expressly agreed by Borrowers, Agent and Issuing Bank, no reinstatement of a
Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such
Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect
of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible
for default by another Lender. 4.3. Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans;
Determination of Rate. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans when made shall be in a
minimum amount of $1,000,000, plus any increment of $500,000 in excess thereof.
No more than ten (10) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time,
and all LIBOR Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest
Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this
purpose. Upon determining LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers,
Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically
and, if requested by Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.
4.4. Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates US Concrete (“Borrower
Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan
Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of
interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery
of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations,
requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan
Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other
dealings with Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts
such appointment. Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be
fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any
notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower.
Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder
to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan060.jpg]
-55- #53262136_v7 Each of Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders shall have the right,
in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for any or all
purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice,
election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its
behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it. 4.5.
One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations constitute one
general obligation of Borrowers and are secured by Agent’s Lien on all
Collateral; provided, however, that Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be
a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the
extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower. 4.6.
Effect of Termination. On the effective date of the termination of all
Commitments, the outstanding Obligations shall be immediately due and payable,
and any Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates’ Bank Products (including,
only with the consent of Agent, any Cash Management Services). Until Full
Payment of the outstanding Obligations, all undertakings of Borrowers contained
in the Loan Documents shall continue, and Agent shall retain its Liens in the
Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. Agent
shall not be required to terminate its Liens unless it receives Cash Collateral
or a written agreement, in each case satisfactory to it, protecting Agent and
Lenders from the dishonor or return of any Payment Items previously applied to
the Obligations. Sections 3.4, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.9, 5.10, 12, 14.2, this Section,
and each indemnity or waiver given by an Obligor or Lender in any Loan Document,
shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. SECTION 5. PAYMENTS 5.1. General
Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars,
without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free of (and without
deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than
1:00 p.m. on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on
the next Business Day. Any payment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its
Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9.
Borrowers agree that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply
and reapply payments and proceeds of Collateral against the outstanding
Obligations, in such manner as Agent deems advisable, but whenever possible, any
prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR
Loans. It being understood and agreed that any LC Obligations denominated in an
Alternate Currency shall be made in Dollars in the Dollar Amount of the
Alternate Currency. 5.2. Repayment of Revolver Loans. Revolver Loans shall be
due and payable in full on the Revolver Termination Date, unless payment is
sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time,
without penalty or premium. Concurrently with (a) any Asset Disposition of ABL
Priority Collateral (including any Machinery) (i) that occurs during a Trigger
Period or the immediate effect of which disposition will be the commencement of
a Trigger Period or (ii) which disposition is not permitted by the provisions of
this Agreement or (b) any other Asset Disposition of (i) Trucks that have a fair
market or book value (whichever is more) of at least $1,000,000 or (ii)
Inventory that has a fair market or book value (whichever is more) of at least
$1,000,000, or (iii) Accounts that have a fair market or book value (whichever
is more) of at least $250,000 or (iv) Machinery that has a fair market or book
value (whichever is more) of at least $1,000,000, Borrowers shall prepay
Revolver Loans in an amount equal to the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan061.jpg]
-56- #53262136_v7 Net Proceeds of such Asset Disposition, provided that any such
prepayment shall not waive any Default or Event of Default otherwise arising
under this Agreement due to such Asset Disposition. Subject to Section 2.1.5,
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists,
Borrowers shall, on the sooner of Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after
any Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding Revolver Loans in an
amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of Revolver Loans to the
Borrowing Base. 5.3. Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans
and LC Obligations, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents
or, if no payment date is specified, within five (5) Business Days of demand.
5.4. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or Lenders shall be under any
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any
Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Agent,
Issuing Bank or any Lender, or Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises a
right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part
thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by
Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the
Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and
remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.
5.5. Application and Allocation of Payments. 5.5.1. Application. Payments made
by Borrowers hereunder shall be applied (a) first, as specifically required
hereby; (b) second, to Obligations then due and owing; (c) third, to other
Obligations specified by Borrowers; and (d) fourth, as determined by Agent in
its Permitted Discretion. 5.5.2. Post-Default Allocation. Notwithstanding
anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default,
monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by
Obligors, realization on Collateral (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement),
setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows: (a) first, to all costs and
expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent; (b) second, to all
amounts owing to Agent on Swingline Loans; (c) third, to all amounts owing to
Issuing Bank; (d) fourth, to all Obligations constituting fees (other than
Secured Bank Product Obligations); (e) fifth, to all Obligations constituting
interest (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations); (f) sixth, to Cash
Collateralization of LC Obligations;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan062.jpg]
-57- #53262136_v7 (g) seventh, to all Loans, and to Secured Bank Product
Obligations arising under Hedging Agreements (including Cash Collateralization
thereof) up to the amount of reserves existing therefor; (h) eighth, to all
other Secured Bank Product Obligations; and (i) last, to all remaining
Obligations. Amounts shall be applied to payment of each category of Obligations
only after Full Payment of all preceding categories. If amounts are insufficient
to satisfy a category, Obligations in the category shall be paid on a pro rata
basis. Monies and proceeds obtained from an Obligor shall not be applied to its
Excluded Swap Obligations, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with
respect to amounts obtained from other Obligors to preserve the allocations in
any applicable category. Amounts distributed with respect to any Secured Bank
Product Obligation shall be calculated using the methodology reported to Agent
for such Obligation (but no greater than the maximum amount reported to Agent).
Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount of any Secured Bank
Product Obligation and may request a reasonably detailed calculation thereof
from the applicable Secured Bank Product Provider. If the provider fails to
deliver the calculation within five days following request, Agent may assume the
amount is zero. The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to
determine the rights and priorities among Secured Parties, and may be changed by
agreement among them without the consent of any Obligor. This Section is not for
the benefit of or enforceable by any Obligor, and each Borrower irrevocably
waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral
proceeds subject to this Section. 5.5.3. Erroneous Application. Agent shall not
be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any
such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole
recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been
made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it
(and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to
return it). 5.6. Dominion Account. The ledger balance in the main Dominion
Account as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations at
the beginning of the next Business Day, during any FCCR Trigger Period. If, as a
result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not
accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers
as long as no Default or Event of Default exists. 5.7. Account Stated. The Agent
shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices account(s)
evidencing the Debt of Borrowers hereunder. Any failure of Agent to record
anything in a loan account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder.
Entries made in a loan account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the
information contained therein. If any information contained in a loan account is
provided to or inspected by any Person, the information shall be conclusive and
binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the
extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or
inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan063.jpg]
-58- #53262136_v7 5.8. Taxes. 5.8.1. Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by
Obligors of Obligations shall be free and clear of and without reduction for any
Taxes. If Applicable Law requires any Obligor or Agent to withhold or deduct any
Tax (including backup withholding or withholding Tax), the withholding or
deduction shall be based on information provided pursuant to Section 5.9 and
Agent shall pay the amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased so that
Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received if no such withholding or deduction (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had been
made. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay all Other Taxes
to the relevant Governmental Authorities. 5.8.2. Payment. Borrowers shall
indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor)
Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including those attributable to amounts payable under this Section but
excluding any amounts directly attributable to such indemnitee’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct) withheld or deducted by any Obligor or Agent,
or paid by Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank, with respect to any Obligations,
Letters of Credit or Loan Documents, whether or not such Taxes were properly
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and including all penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses relating thereto, as well as any amount that a
Lender or Issuing Bank fails to pay indefeasibly to Agent under Section 5.9. A
certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to
Borrower Agent by Agent, or by a Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to Agent),
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any
payment of Taxes by a Borrower, Borrower Agent shall deliver to Agent a receipt
from the Governmental Authority or other evidence of payment satisfactory to
Agent. 5.9. Lender Tax Information. 5.9.1. Status of Lenders. Each Lender shall
deliver documentation and information to Agent and Borrower Agent, at the times
and in form required by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or
Borrower Agent, sufficient to permit Agent or Borrowers to determine (a) whether
or not payments made with respect to Obligations are subject to Taxes, (b) if
applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (c) such Lender’s
entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes
for such payments or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding
tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. 5.9.2. Documentation. If a Borrower
is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Lender that is a “United
States person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall
deliver to Agent and Borrower Agent IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or
information prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or
Borrower Agent to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements. If any Foreign Lender is entitled to any
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax for payments with respect to the
Obligations, it shall deliver to Agent and Borrower Agent, on or prior to the
date on which it becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter
upon request by Agent or Borrower Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is
legally entitled to do so), (a) IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for
benefits of an income

[exhibit101uscthirdarloan064.jpg]
-59- #53262136_v7 tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (b) IRS Form
W-8ECI; (c) IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation; (d) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, IRS Form W- 8BEN and a
certificate showing such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” within the meaning
of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a “10 percent shareholder” of any
Obligor within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code;
or (e) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming
exemption from or a reduction in withholding tax, together with such
supplementary documentation necessary to allow Agent and Borrowers to determine
the withholding or deduction required to be made. 5.9.3. Lender Obligations.
Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Borrowers and Agent of any
change in circumstances that would change any claimed Tax exemption or
reduction. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify, hold harmless and
reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) Borrowers and Agent for any
Taxes, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by or asserted against a Borrower or Agent
by any Governmental Authority due to such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s failure to
deliver, or inaccuracy or deficiency in, any documentation required to be
delivered by it pursuant to this Section. Each Lender and Issuing Bank
authorizes Agent to set off any amounts due to Agent under this Section against
any amounts payable to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document.
5.10. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability. 5.10.1. Joint and Several
Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and
absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders the prompt
payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements under the Loan
Documents, except its Excluded Swap Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that its
guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and
not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full
Payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity,
enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any
Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to
which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any
action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan
Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any
Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or
failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or
guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by
Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or
guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by Agent or any
Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of
the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower,
as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise;
(g) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any Lender against any Obligor
for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,
except Full Payment of all Obligations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan065.jpg]
-60- #53262136_v7 5.10.2. Waivers. (a) Each Borrower expressly waives all rights
that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in
equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed
against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of
any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower.
Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or
accommodation co-Obligor other than Full Payment of all Obligations and waives,
to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to revoke any guaranty of any
Obligations as long as it is a Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent
and Lenders that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the
transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such
provisions, Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of
Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is
necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to
benefit such business. (b) Agent may, in its discretion, pursue such rights and
remedies as it deems appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by
judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any
rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in
connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender
shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a
deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any
Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower
consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action
may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might
otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or
impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment
against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the
full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses
arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with
respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of
remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other
Person. Agent or any Lender may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any
foreclosure, trustee or other sale, including any private sale, and the amount
of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the
Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or
any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be
the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid
amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed
to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.10,
notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the
effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any
Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
5.10.3. Extent of Liability; Contribution. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.10 shall be
limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily
liable, as described below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount. (b) If
any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.10 of any Obligations (other
than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor
Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or
concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower
would otherwise have paid

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan066.jpg]
-61- #53262136_v7 if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied
by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable
Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower
shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and
to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata
based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to
such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the
maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this
Section 5.10 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the
Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance
act, or similar statute or common law. (c) Nothing contained in this Section
5.10 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay Loans made directly or
indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower and
then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such
Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such
Borrower’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related
Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily
liable for all purposes hereunder. Agent and Lenders shall have the right, at
any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a
separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict
the disbursement and use of such Loans and Letters of Credit to such Borrower.
(d) Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien
as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and
severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide
funds or other support to each Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap
Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor
all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap
Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability
that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP's obligations
and undertakings under this Section 5.10 voidable under any applicable
fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each
Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until
Full Payment of all Obligations. Each Obligor intends this Section to
constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the
obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of,
each Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. 5.10.4. Joint
Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders make this credit
facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance
Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a
mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower
is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers
believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing
power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their
mutual advantage. Borrowers acknowledge that Agent’s and Lenders’ willingness to
extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is
done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request. 5.10.5.
Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any
rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against
any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Obligations.

arbitrator or governmental authority that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred. (i) Borrowers shall have paid all
fees and expenses to be paid to Agent and Lenders on the Closing Date. For
purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section
6.1, each Lender that has delivered a signature page to this Agreement shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by
or acceptable to a Lender or Agent unless Agent shall have received notice from
such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
6.2. Conditions Precedent to All Credit Extensions. Agent, Issuing Bank and
Lenders shall not be required to fund any Loans, arrange for issuance of any

Credit or grant of an accommodation shall constitute a representation by
Borrowers that the foregoing conditions are satisfied on the date of such
request and on the date of such funding, issuance or grant. As an additional
condition to any funding, issuance or grant, Agent shall have received such
other information, documents, instruments and agreements as it deems appropriate
in connection therewith. SECTION 7. COLLATERAL 7.1. Grant of Security Interest.
To secure the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, each Obligor
hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing
security interest in and Lien upon all Property of such Obligor, including all
of the following Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever
located:

substitutions for, and all replacements, products, and cash and non-cash
proceeds of the foregoing, including proceeds of and unearned premiums with
respect to insurance policies, and claims against any Person for loss, damage or

lists, files, correspondence, tapes, computer programs, print-outs and computer

provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, “Collateral” shall not
include any Excluded Property, in each case only for so long as such item of
Property continues to constitute Excluded Property, and thereafter shall
constitute Collateral. The security interests and Liens granted in the
Collateral are given in renewal, confirmation, extension and modification, but
not in extinguishment, of the security interests and Liens previously granted in
the Collateral pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August
31, 2012, among US Concrete, the other Borrower party thereto, the Guarantors

Agreement (as defined in the Initial Loan Agreement) and the Initial Loan
Agreement; such prior security interests and Liens are not extinguished hereby;
and the making, perfection and priority of such prior security interests and
Liens shall continue in full force and effect. 7.2. Liens on Deposit Accounts,
Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts; Cash Collateral. 7.2.1. Deposit
Accounts, Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts. To further secure the
prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, each Obligor hereby grants to
Agent a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all amounts credited to
any Deposit Account (including any sums in any blocked or lockbox accounts or in
any accounts into which such sums are swept) and all amounts credited to, and
all financial assets and other funds or Property held in, any Securities Account
and/or Commodities Account of such Obligor. Each Obligor hereby authorizes and
directs each bank or other depository, securities intermediary or commodities
intermediary, as applicable, to deliver to Agent, upon request, all balances in
any Deposit Account maintained by such Obligor (other than Excluded Deposit
Accounts) and all Investment Property, funds, commodity contracts and other
Property credited to or held in any Securities Account or Commodity Accounts, as
applicable (other than Excluded Securities and Commodities Accounts), without
inquiry into the authority or right of Agent to make such request. 7.2.2. Cash
Collateral. Cash Collateral may be invested, at Agent’s discretion (and with the
consent of Obligors, as long as no Event of Default exists), but Agent shall
have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing with any
Obligor, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. Each
Obligor hereby grants to Agent, as security for the Obligations, a security
interest in all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof,
whether held in a Cash Collateral Account or otherwise. Agent may apply Cash
Collateral to the payment of Obligations as they become due, in such order as
Agent may elect. Each Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be
under the sole dominion and control of Agent, and no Obligor or other Person
shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of all
Obligations. 7.3. Real Estate Collateral. 7.3.1. [Reserved]. 7.3.2. Collateral
Assignment of Leases. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of
all Obligations, each Obligor hereby transfers and assigns to Agent all of such
Obligor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all now or hereafter
existing leases of real Property to which such Obligor is a party, whether as
lessor or lessee, and all extensions, renewals, modifications and proceeds
thereof. 7.4. Other Collateral. 7.4.1. Commercial Tort Claims. Borrowers shall
promptly notify Agent in writing if any Obligor has a Commercial Tort Claim
(other than, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort
Claim for less than $500,000), shall promptly amend Schedule 9.1.16 to include
such claim, and shall take such actions as Agent reasonably deems appropriate to
subject such claim to a duly perfected, first priority (or second priority, to

-66- #53262136_v7 extent such Property is “priority collateral” (or similar
term) for Permitted Secured Debt under the Intercreditor Agreement entered into
upon the incurrence of such Permitted Secured Debt) Lien in favor of Agent.
7.4.2. Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent
in writing if, after the Closing Date, any Obligor obtains any interest in any
Collateral consisting of Commodity Accounts, Deposit Accounts, Securities
Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, Intellectual Property,
Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights, in each case with a nominal
value in excess of $100,000 and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly take such
actions as Agent deems appropriate to effect Agent’s duly perfected, first
priority (or second priority, to the extent such Property is “priority
collateral” (or similar term) for Permitted Secured Debt under the Intercreditor
Agreement entered into upon the incurrence of such Permitted Secured Debt) Lien
upon such Collateral, including obtaining any appropriate possession, control
agreement or Lien Waiver. If any Collateral is in the possession of a third
party, at Agent’s request, Borrowers shall obtain an acknowledgment that such
third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Agent. 7.5. No Assumption of
Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only
and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any
obligation or liability of Obligors relating to any Collateral. In no event
shall the grant of any Lien under any Loan Document secure an Excluded Swap
Obligation of the granting Obligor. 7.6. Further Assurances. All Liens granted
to Agent under the Loan Documents are for the benefit of Secured Parties.
Promptly upon request, Borrowers shall deliver such instruments and agreements,
and shall take such actions, as Agent deems appropriate under Applicable Law to
evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to
the intent of this Agreement. Each Obligor authorizes Agent to file any
financing statement that describes the Collateral as “all assets” or “all
personal property” of such Obligor, or words to similar effect, and ratifies any
action taken by Agent before the Closing Date to effect or perfect its Lien on
any Collateral. 7.7. Additional Borrowers. Borrower Agent may designate any
Subsidiary as a Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents upon
satisfaction of each of the following conditions, provided that such Subsidiary
owns Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory, Eligible Trucks or Eligible
Machinery: (a) Borrower Agent shall have delivered to the Agent a written notice
requesting that such Subsidiary be designated as a new Borrower. (b) The Agent
shall have received a duly executed supplement to this Agreement and any other
applicable Loan Documents joining such Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder (such
supplement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) and
such other documents or agreements as Agent may request in its Permitted
Discretion. (c) Such Subsidiary shall deliver to the Agent such documents and
certificates referred to in Section 6.1(e) as may be reasonably requested by the
Agent (it being agreed by US Concrete that, if the designation of such
Subsidiary as a Borrower obligates the Agent or any Lender to comply with “know
your customer” or similar identification

reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lender in order for the Agent or such
Lender to carry out, and be satisfied it has complied with the results of, all
necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all Applicable
Law). (d) If not previously granted to the Agent under this Agreement, as so
supplemented, and the Security Documents, such Subsidiary shall grant a security
interest in all Collateral owned by such Subsidiary by delivering to the Agent a
duly executed supplement to each applicable Security Document or such other
documents as the Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate for such purpose.
SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION 8.1. Borrowing Base Certificates. By the
20th day of each month (or on the succeeding Business Day, if the applicable day
is not a Business Day), Borrowers shall deliver to Agent (and Agent shall
promptly deliver same to Lenders) a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared as of
the close of business of the previous month, and during any Trigger Period
Borrowers shall also deliver to Agent (and Agent shall promptly deliver same to
Lenders) a Borrowing Base Certificate on a weekly basis, and in no event later
than the 5th day of each week, prepared as of the close of the last day of the
preceding week; provided, however, that during any period when an Event of
Default exists, Borrowers shall deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate as
frequently as shall be requested by Agent. All calculations of Availability in
any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be made by Borrowers and
certified by a Senior Officer, provided that Agent may from time to time review
and, in its Permitted Discretion, after Required Reserve Notice (provided that
in no event shall such a Required Reserve Notice be required prior to or in
connection with denying a request for a Revolver Loan due to insufficient
Availability resulting from an adjustment in the calculation of Availability as
contemplated by this Section), adjust any such calculation (a) to reflect its
reasonable estimate of declines in value of any Collateral, due to collections
received in the Dominion Account or otherwise; (b) to adjust advance rates to
reflect changes in dilution, quality, mix and other factors affecting
Collateral; and (c) to the extent the calculation is not made in accordance with
this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the Availability Reserve, but in
each case without duplication of (i) factors taken into consideration in
determining eligibility of the relevant Accounts, Inventory, Trucks and
Machinery and (ii) factors taken into consideration in determining the
Availability Reserve. 8.2. Administration of Accounts. 8.2.1. Records and
Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of
its Accounts, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit
to Agent sales, collection, reconciliation and other reports in form
satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion, on such periodic basis as
Agent may request in its Permitted Discretion. Each Borrower shall also provide
to Agent, on or before the 20th day of each month, a detailed aged trial balance
of all Accounts as of the end of the preceding month, specifying each Account’s
Account Debtor name and amount, invoice date and due date, showing any and such
other information as Agent may request from time to time in its Permitted
Discretion. If Accounts in an aggregate face amount of $1,000,000 or more cease
to be Eligible Accounts,

-68- #53262136_v7 Borrowers shall notify Agent of such occurrence promptly (and
in any event within one Business Day) after any Borrower has knowledge thereof.
8.2.2. Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes,
Agent is authorized, in its Permitted Discretion and after Required Reserve
Notice to the Borrower, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority
for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided,
however, that neither Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may
be due from Borrowers or with respect to any Collateral. 8.2.3. Account
Verification. Whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists, Agent shall
have the right at any time, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any
Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any
Accounts of Borrowers by mail, telephone or otherwise. Prior to conducting any
such verification, Agent shall provide reasonable prior notice (as determined by
Agent in its Permitted Discretion) thereof to Borrower Agent, unless a Default
exists or Agent determines that not providing such notice is appropriate to
protect the interests of the Lenders. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Agent
in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.
8.2.4. Maintenance of Dominion Account. Borrowers shall maintain Dominion
Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements acceptable to Agent in its
Permitted Discretion. Borrowers shall obtain an agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion) from each lockbox servicer
and Dominion Account bank, establishing Agent’s control over and Lien in the
lockbox or Dominion Account, which may be exercised by Agent during any FCCR
Trigger Period, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the
lockbox to a Dominion Account, and waiving offset rights of such servicer or
bank, except for customary administrative charges. If a Dominion Account is not
maintained with Bank of America, Agent may, during any FCCR Trigger Period,
require immediate transfer of all funds in such account to a Dominion Account
maintained with Bank of America. Agent and Lenders assume no responsibility to
Borrowers for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim
of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted
by any bank. 8.2.5. Proceeds of Collateral. Borrowers shall request in writing
and otherwise take all necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts
or otherwise relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or
a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account). If any Borrower or Subsidiary
receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold
same in trust for Agent and promptly (not later than the next Business Day)
deposit same into a Dominion Account. 8.3. Administration of Inventory. 8.3.1.
Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete
records of its Inventory, including costs and daily withdrawals and additions,
and shall submit to Agent inventory and reconciliation reports in form
satisfactory to Agent, on such periodic basis as Agent may request in its
Permitted Discretion. Each Borrower shall conduct a physical inventory at least
once per calendar year (and on a more frequent basis if requested by Agent when
an Event of Default exists) and periodic cycle counts consistent with historical
practices, and, upon the request of Agent in its Permitted Discretion, shall
provide to Agent a report based on each such inventory and count promptly upon
completion thereof, together with

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan074.jpg]
-69- #53262136_v7 such supporting information as Agent may request in its
Permitted Discretion. Agent may participate in and observe each physical count
at its own expense (unless an Event of Default exists, then at the Borrowers’
sole expense). 8.3.2. Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any
Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other Person, whether for cash, credit or
otherwise, unless (a) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) no
Default, Event of Default or Overadvance exists or would result therefrom; (c)
Agent is promptly notified if the aggregate Value of all Inventory returned in
any month exceeds $1,000,000; and (d) any payment received by a Borrower for a
return is promptly remitted to Agent for application to the Obligations. 8.3.3.
Acquisition, Sale and Maintenance. Other than Inventory for chemical admixtures
utilized to manufacture ready-mix concrete (“Permitted Consignment Inventory”),
no Borrower shall acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval,
and shall take all steps to assure that all Inventory is produced in accordance
with Applicable Law, including the FLSA. All Permitted Consignment Inventory
shall be kept in separate containers, segregated from all other Inventory of the
Obligors. Permitted Consignment Inventory shall in no event constitute Eligible
Inventory. No Borrower shall sell any Inventory on consignment or approval or
any other basis under which the customer may return or require a Borrower to
repurchase such Inventory. Borrowers shall use, store and maintain all Inventory
with reasonable care and caution, in accordance with applicable standards of any
insurance and in conformity with all Applicable Law in all material respects,
and shall make current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided
for in leases) at all locations where any Collateral is located. 8.4.
Administration of Equipment. 8.4.1. Records and Schedules of Equipment. Each
Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Equipment, including
kind, quality, quantity, cost, acquisitions and dispositions thereof, and shall
submit to Agent, on such periodic basis as Agent may request, in its Permitted
Discretion, a current schedule thereof, in form satisfactory to Agent. Promptly
upon request, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent evidence of their ownership or
interests in any Trucks and Machinery not constituting Excluded Trucks or
Excluded Machinery (or, (i) in the case of any Trucks or Machinery the
certificates of title for which are in the possession of the applicable
Governmental Authority for lien recordation purposes, copies thereof, or (ii) in
the case of any Truck or Machinery, the ownership of which is evidenced by an
electronic title (ELT) in the records of the applicable Governmental Authority
(in lieu of a physical certificate of title), a copy of the notification with
respect to such notation received from such Governmental Authority, or (iii) in
the case of any newly acquired Truck or Machinery in respect of which an
application for a certificate of title has been filed with the applicable
Governmental Authority but such certificate of title has not yet been issued, a

Authority). In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, Borrowers
shall supply to Agent, within 20 days of the end of each calendar month and at
such other times as may be requested by Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, the
following: (a) (i) a summary report of the Trucks, differentiating with respect
to Eligible Trucks and all other Trucks and otherwise in form and substance

(A) changes in value and Depreciation Amounts and (B) which Trucks were
purchased or otherwise acquired during such period and (ii)

Truck or Machinery, give the Agent notice of such Obligor’s acquisition of such
Truck or Machinery and deliver to the Agent the original of any certificate of
title covering such Truck or Machinery or if a certificate of title has not yet
been issued in respect of such Truck or Machinery, a copy of an application for
such certificate of title and the receipt therefor provided by the applicable
Governmental Authority (or, in the case of any Truck or Machinery the
certificate of title for which is in the possession of the applicable
Governmental Authority for lien recordation purposes, a copy thereof or, in the
case of any Truck or Machinery, the ownership of which is evidenced by an

of attorney) necessary to have the Lien of the Agent noted on any such
certificate of title or with the appropriate state office. 8.4.2. Dispositions
of Equipment. No Borrower shall sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any
Equipment, without the prior written consent of Agent, other than (a) as
permitted under Section 10.2.5; (b) Equipment that is worn, damaged, obsolete or
no longer used in the Ordinary Course of Business; and (c) Equipment (other than
Trucks and Machinery), the disposition of which Equipment is permitted pursuant
to the provisions of the definitive documentation governing the Permitted
Secured Debt (and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement), if in effect at such
time. 8.4.3. Condition of Equipment. The Equipment is in good operating
condition and repair, and all necessary replacements and repairs have been made
so that the value and operating efficiency of the Equipment is preserved at all
times, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Each Borrower shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that the Equipment is mechanically and structurally
sound, and capable of performing the functions for which it was designed, in
accordance with manufacturer specifications. No Borrower shall permit any
Equipment to become affixed to real Property unless any landlord or mortgagee
delivers a Lien Waiver. 8.5. Administration of Deposit Accounts, Securities
Accounts and Commodities Accounts. Schedule 8.5 sets forth all Deposit Accounts

at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge
Borrowers therefor. Each Borrower agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly as
rendered, copies of all reports made to insurance companies. While no Event of

the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk. 8.6.4. Defense of Title. Each
Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend its title (and if
applicable, the title of the relevant Guarantors) to Collateral and Agent’s
Liens therein against all Persons, claims and demands, except Permitted Liens.
8.7. Power of Attorney. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such Obligor’s true and lawful
attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this Section. Agent,

Adverse Effect, except to the extent otherwise described on Schedule 9.1.1
attached hereto. 9.1.2. Power and Authority. Each Obligor is duly authorized to

each Obligor party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws

Structure. Schedule 9.1.4 shows, as of the Closing Date, for each Obligor and
Subsidiary, its name, jurisdiction of organization, authorized and issued Equity

corporate stock, fully paid and non- assessable. Except as described on Schedule
9.1.4, as of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding purchase options,
warrants, subscription rights, agreements to issue or sell, convertible

interests in) all of its Real Estate necessary in the Ordinary Course of
Business, and good title to all of its personal Property, including all Property

case free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Each Obligor and Subsidiary has paid
and discharged all lawful claims that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its
Properties, other than Permitted Liens. All Liens of Agent in the Collateral are
duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens that are
expressly allowed to have priority over Agent’s Liens. 9.1.6. Accounts. Agent
may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements
and representations made by Borrowers with respect thereto. Borrowers warrant,
with respect to each Account at the time it is shown as an Eligible Account in a
Borrowing Base Certificate, that: (a) it is genuine and in all respects what it

Permitted Secured Debt is outstanding, the Liens securing such Permitted Secured
Debt), deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim or other adverse condition
except as arising in the Ordinary Course of Business and disclosed to Agent; and

respect; (e) no purchase order, agreement, document or Applicable Law restricts
assignment of the Account to Agent (regardless of whether, under the UCC, the
restriction is ineffective), and the applicable Borrower is the sole payee or
remittance party shown on the invoice; (f) no extension, compromise, settlement,
modification, credit, deduction or return has been authorized with respect to
the Account, except discounts or allowances granted in the Ordinary Course of
Business for prompt payment that are reflected on the face of the invoice
related thereto and in the reports submitted to Agent hereunder; and (g) to the
best of Borrowers’ knowledge, (i) there are no facts or circumstances that are
reasonably likely to impair the enforceability or collectibility of such
Account; (ii) the Account Debtor had the capacity to contract when the Account
arose, continues to meet the applicable Borrower’s customary credit standards,
is Solvent, is not contemplating or subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, and has
not failed, or suspended or ceased doing business; and (iii) there are no
proceedings or actions threatened or pending against any Account Debtor that
could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Account
Debtor’s financial condition. 9.1.7. Financial Statements. The consolidated

misleading. Borrowers and their Subsidiaries are Solvent on a consolidated
basis. 9.1.8. Surety Obligations. No Borrower or Subsidiary is obligated as

whereupon they shall be due and payable without diligence, presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Borrowers to
the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) terminate, reduce or condition any
Commitment, or make any adjustment to the Borrowing Base; provided, Agent may

without charge, and any sale may be adjourned from time to time in accordance
with Applicable Law. Agent shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Agent

[exhibit101uscthirdarloan099.jpg]

computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists,
promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other
Property, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing
manufacture of, or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to,
any Collateral. Each Obligor’s rights and interests under Intellectual Property
shall inure to Agent’s benefit. 11.4. Setoff. At any time during an Event of
Default, Agent, Issuing Bank, Lenders, and any of their Affiliates are
authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final, in whatever currency, but excluding deposits held by Obligors in a
fiduciary capacity) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by Agent, Issuing Bank, such Lender or such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of an Obligor against any
Obligations, irrespective of whether or not Agent, Issuing Bank, such Lender or
such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are
owed to a branch or office of Agent, Issuing Bank, such Lender or such Affiliate
different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness. The rights of Agent, Issuing Bank, each Lender and each such
Affiliate under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Person may have. 11.5. Remedies
Cumulative; No Waiver. 11.5.1. Cumulative Rights. All agreements, warranties,

remedies of Agent and Lenders are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and
from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and are not exclusive of any
other rights or remedies available by agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise.
All such rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Full

the making of any Loan or issuance of any Letter of Credit during a Default,
Event of Default or other failure to satisfy any conditions precedent; or (c)
acceptance by Agent or any Lender of any payment or performance by an Obligor
under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein. It is
expressly acknowledged by Obligors that any failure to satisfy a financial
covenant on a measurement date shall not be cured or remedied by satisfaction of
such covenant on a subsequent date. SECTION 12. AGENT 12.1. Appointment,
Authority and Duties of Agent. 12.1.1. Appointment and Authority. Each Secured

Secured Parties. Any action taken by Agent in accordance with the provisions of
the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent of any rights or remedies set
forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto,
shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive
authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with
respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan
Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document, including any
intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan
Document; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of
perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other
purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with
Collateral; and (e) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights
or remedies with respect to any Collateral or under any Loan Documents,
Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of Agent are ministerial and
administrative in nature only, and Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship
with any Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan
Document or any transaction relating thereto. Agent alone shall be authorized to
determine whether any Account or Inventory constitutes an Eligible Account or
Eligible Inventory, whether any Trucks or Machinery constitutes Eligible Trucks
or Eligible Machinery, whether to impose or release any reserve, or whether any
conditions to funding or to issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied,
which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate
Agent from liability to any Secured Party or other Person for any error in
judgment. 12.1.2. Duties. Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly
set forth in the Loan Documents. The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not
imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Lenders in
accordance with this Agreement. 12.1.3. Agent Professionals. Agent may perform
its duties through agents and employees. Agent may consult with and employ Agent
Professionals, 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 an Agent
Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable
care. 12.1.4. Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies
conferred upon Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the
necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law.
Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders or other Secured Parties
with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any
Loan Documents or Collateral, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from
Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against Claims that could
be incurred by Agent. Agent may refrain from any act until it has received such
instructions or assurances, and shall not incur liability to any Person by
reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon
all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action
whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting
pursuant to instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent
provided in Section 15.1.1. In no event shall Agent be required to take any
action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents
or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

-96- #53262136_v7 12.2. Agreements Regarding Collateral and Borrower Materials.
12.2.1. Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. Secured Parties authorize Agent to
release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the
outstanding Obligations and termination of all Commitments; (b) that is the
subject of a disposition or Lien that Borrowers certify in writing is a
Permitted Asset Disposition or a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over
Agent’s Liens (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without
further inquiry); (c) that does not constitute a material part of the
Collateral; or (d) subject to Section 15.1, with the consent of Required
Lenders. Secured Parties authorize Agent to subordinate its Liens to any
Purchase Money Lien or other Lien entitled to priority hereunder. Agent shall
have no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by an
Obligor, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Agent’s Liens
have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any
particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any
Collateral. 12.2.2. Possession of Collateral. Agent and Secured Parties appoint
each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of
perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the
extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If any Lender obtains
possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and,
promptly upon Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise
deal with it in accordance with Agent’s instructions. 12.2.3. Reports. Agent
shall promptly provide to Lenders, when complete, any field audit, examination
or appraisal report prepared for Agent with respect to any Obligor or Collateral
(“Report”). Reports and other Borrower Materials may be made available to
Lenders by providing access to them on the Platform, but Agent shall not be
responsible for system failures or access issues that may occur from time to
time. Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports are not intended to be comprehensive
audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other Person performing an audit
or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Obligations
or Collateral and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books, records and
representations; (b) that Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the
accuracy or completeness of any Borrower Materials and shall not be liable for
any information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials, including
any Report; and (c) to keep all Borrower Materials confidential and strictly for
such Lender’s internal use, not to distribute any Report or other Borrower
Materials (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s
Participants, attorneys and accountants), and to use all Borrower Materials
solely for administration of the Obligations. Each Lender shall indemnify and
hold harmless Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such
Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Borrower
Materials, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of
Agent furnishing same to such Lender, via the Platform or otherwise. 12.3.
Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including
those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.
Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any
instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall
not be liable for any delay in acting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan102.jpg]
-97- #53262136_v7 12.4. Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any
conditions in Section 6, unless it has received written notice from a Borrower
or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender
acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions,
it shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each
Secured Party agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or
with the written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any
Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product
Obligations), or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under
Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other
dispositions of Collateral, or to assert any rights relating to any Collateral.
12.5. Ratable Sharing. If any Lender obtains any payment or reduction of any
Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such
Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.5.2,
as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Agent, Issuing Bank and
the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are
necessary to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in
accordance with Section 5.5.2, as applicable. If any of such payment or
reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains
a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the
amount thereof to Agent for application under Section 4.2.2 and it shall provide
a written statement to Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment
or reduction. No Lender shall set off against any Dominion Account without
Agent’s prior consent. 12.6. Indemnification. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND
HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES AND ISSUING BANK INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT
REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS, ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE
INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THAT ANY CLAIM
AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR AGENT
(IN THE CAPACITY OF AGENT). In no event shall any Lender have any obligation
hereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Agent Indemnitee with respect to a
Claim that is determined in a final, non- appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Agent Indemnitee. In Agent’s Permitted Discretion, it may reserve for
any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee or Issuing Bank Indemnitee, and may
satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of
Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to Secured
Parties. If Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee or other Person for any
alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Agent in
settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall
be promptly reimbursed to Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata
share. 12.7. Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall not be liable
to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan
Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Agent does not assume any responsibility for
any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor, Lender or
other Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Agent does not
make any express or implied representation, warranty or guarantee to Secured
Parties with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or Obligor.

enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any
Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein;

creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor. No Agent
Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or
inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance by
any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any
conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents. 12.8. Successor Agent and
Co-Agents. 12.8.1. Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time
by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Upon
receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b)
a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and (provided
no Default or Event of Default exists) Borrowers. If no successor agent is
appointed prior to the effective date of Agent’s resignation, then Agent may
appoint a successor agent that is a financial institution acceptable to it,
which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role. Upon acceptance by a
successor Agent of its appointment hereunder, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the
retiring Agent without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the
benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.6 and 15.2.
Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall
continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while Agent. Any successor to Bank of America by merger or
acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be Agent hereunder without
further act on the part of any Secured Party or Obligor. 12.8.2. Co-Collateral
Agent. If necessary or appropriate under Applicable Law, Agent may appoint a
Person to serve as a co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent under any
Loan Document. Each right and remedy intended to be available to Agent under the
Loan Document shall also be vested in such agent. Secured Parties shall execute
and deliver any instrument or agreement that Agent may request to effect such
appointment. If the agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Agent
until appointment of a new agent. 12.9. Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance
upon Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and
analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each
Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and
participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such
inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and
Obligors. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured
Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any
Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan104.jpg]
-99- #53262136_v7 enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each
Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured
Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it
deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit
decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or
refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports
and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Agent shall have no duty
or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or
certificates furnished to Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other
information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties
of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of
Agent or its Affiliates. 12.10. Remittance of Payments and Collections. 12.10.1.
Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made by the
time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds.
If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Agent and
request for payment is made by Agent by 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, payment
shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is
made after 11:00 a.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next
Business Day. Payment by Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire
transfer, in the type of funds received by Agent. Any such payment shall be
subject to Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the
Loan Documents. 12.10.2. Failure to Pay. If any Secured Party fails to pay any
amount when due by it to Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall
bear interest, from the due date until paid in full, at the rate determined by
Agent as customary for interbank compensation for two Business Days and
thereafter at the Default Rate for Base Rate Revolver Loans. In no event shall
Borrowers be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party
to Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts
held by Agent pursuant to Section 4.2. 12.10.3. Recovery of Payments. If Agent
pays an amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will
be received by Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received,
then Agent may recover such amount from the Secured Party. If Agent determines
that an amount received by it must be returned or paid to an Obligor or other
Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other
term of any Loan Document, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount
to any Secured Party. If any amounts received and applied by Agent to any
Obligations are later required to be returned by Agent pursuant to Applicable
Law, each Lender shall pay to Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of
the amounts required to be returned. 12.11. Individual Capacities. As a Lender,
Bank of America shall have the same rights and remedies under the Loan Documents
as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or any similar
term shall include Bank of America in its capacity as a Lender. Agent, Lenders
and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank
Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any
kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if they were not Agent
or Lenders hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to any Secured Party.
In their individual capacities, Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may receive
information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan105.jpg]
-100- #53262136_v7 their Account Debtors (including information subject to
confidentiality obligations), and shall have no obligation to provide such
information to any Secured Party. 12.12. Titles. Each Lender, other than Bank of
America, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise)
by Bank of America as an “Arranger,” “Bookrunner” or “Agent” of any type shall
have no right, power or duty under any Loan Documents other than those
applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event have any fiduciary duty to any
Secured Party. 12.13. Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Bank Product
Provider, by delivery of a notice to Agent of a Bank Product, agrees to be bound
by Section 5.5 and this Section 12. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall
indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by
Obligors, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any
Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product
Obligations. 12.14. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 is an
agreement solely among Secured Parties and Agent, and shall survive Full Payment
of the Obligations. Other than Section 12.8.1(b), this Section 12 does not
confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person. As between
Borrowers and Agent, any action that Agent may take under any Loan Documents or
with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been
authorized and directed by Secured Parties. SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT;
ASSIGNMENTS 13.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of Obligors, Agent, Lenders, Secured Parties, and their
respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Obligor shall have the
right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents
(except in connection with a transaction permitted under Section 10.2.8); and
(b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3.
Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all
purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3.
Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender. 13.2. Participations. 13.2.1.
Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to Section 13.3.3, any Lender may sell
to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the
rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale
by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s
obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, it shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such
obligations, it shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all
purposes, all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if it had not
sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents.
Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any
matters under the Loan Documents, and Agent and the other Lenders shall not have
any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be
a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 5.9 unless Borrowers agree otherwise in writing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan106.jpg]
-101- #53262136_v7 13.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole
right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver
or other modification of a Loan Document other than that which forgives
principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable
with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an
interest, postpones the Commitment Termination Date or any date fixed for any
regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or
Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor or substantially all Collateral.
13.2.3. Benefit of Set-Off. Obligors agree that each Participant shall have a
right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as
if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also
retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by
it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with
Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section
12.5 as if such Participant were a Lender. 13.3. Assignments. 13.3.1. Permitted
Assignments. A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a
constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment
(other than partial assignments to an Affiliate of such Lender), is in a minimum
principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its
discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b)
except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and
obligations or an assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender, the aggregate
amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least
$5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion); and (c) the
parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its
acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing herein shall
limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan
Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment
to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment
shall release the Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the
pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 13.3.2. Effect; Effective
Date. Upon delivery to Agent of an assignment notice in the form of Exhibit B
and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless such assignment is to an Affiliate of
such Lender or is otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion), the assignment
shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this
Section 13.3. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all
purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and
obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the
transferor Lender, Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for
issuance of replacement and/or new notes, if applicable. The transferee Lender
shall comply with Section 5.9 and deliver, upon request, an administrative
questionnaire satisfactory to Agent. 13.3.3. Certain Assignees. No assignment or
participation may be made to an Obligor, Affiliate of an Obligor, Defaulting
Lender or natural person. Any assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall be
effective only upon payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to
Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct
payment, purchases of participations or other compensating actions as Agent
deems appropriate), to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by
the Defaulting Lender hereunder. If an

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan107.jpg]
-102- #53262136_v7 assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective
under Applicable Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing
sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes
until such compliance occurs. 13.3.4. Register. Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary
agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain (a) a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it, and (b) a register for recordation of
the names, addresses and Commitments of, and the Loans, interest and LC
Obligations owing to, each Lender. Entries in the register shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall treat each lender
recorded in such register as a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The register shall be available for
inspection by Borrowers or any Lender, from time to time upon reasonable notice.
13.4. Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (a) fails to give its consent
to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required
and Required Lenders consented, or (b) is a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition
to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, Agent or Borrower
Agent may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require
such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents
to Eligible Assignee(s), pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptance(s),
within 20 days after the notice. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-
fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Lender fails to
execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with
such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents through the
date of assignment. SECTION 14. GUARANTY 14.1. Guaranty of the Obligations.
Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2, Guarantors jointly and severally
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Agent and Lenders the due and
punctual payment in full of all Obligations (other than Excluded Swap
Obligations) when 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) (collectively, the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). 14.2. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to
allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a
fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty.
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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan108.jpg]
-103- #53262136_v7 obligations hereunder 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 14.2, 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 14.2), 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 14.2. 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 14.2 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 14.2. 14.3. Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 14.2,
Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right which Lender may have at law or in
equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of any
Borrower 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), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Agent,
for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, 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 any Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the
Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or
not a claim is allowed against such Borrower for such interest in the related
bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Agent and
Lenders as aforesaid. 14.4. 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 payment in full
of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows: 14.4.1. 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; 14.4.2. Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Borrower and
Agent or any Lender with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;
14.4.3. the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the
obligations of Borrowers and the obligations of any other guarantor (including
any other

[exhibit101uscthirdarloan109.jpg]
-104- #53262136_v7 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 any Borrower or any of such other
guarantors and whether or not any Borrower is joined in any such action or
actions; 14.4.4. 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 or any
Lender 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; 14.4.5. Agent and/or Lenders, upon such terms as they
deem 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 Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders in
respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of
sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Agent may have against
any such security, in each case as Agent in its discretion may determine
consistent herewith or 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
any Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise
any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents; and 14.4.6. 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 payment in full 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 claim or demand or any
right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, 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,

[exhibit101uscthirdarloan110.jpg]
-105- #53262136_v7 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 Loan Documents 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 Loan Document, 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 Loan Documents 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 Agent or Lenders might have elected to apply such
payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) Agent’s or
Lenders’ consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate
structure or existence of US Concrete or any of its 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 any Borrower may allege or assert against Agent or any
Lender 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. 14.5. Waivers by Guarantors. Each
Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Agent and each Lender: (a) any right
to require Agent or any Lender, 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, Securities Account or Commodities Account or
credit on the books of Agent or any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other
Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of Agent or any Lender
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 payment in full 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 Agent’s or any Lender’s errors or omissions in the
administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to
bad faith; (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 Agent or
any Lender 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 or any agreement or
instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of
the

[exhibit101uscthirdarloan111.jpg]
-106- #53262136_v7 Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto,
notices of any extension of credit to Borrowers and notices of any of the
matters referred to in Section 14.4 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 other than Full Payment of the Obligations. 14.6.
Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the 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
Agent or any Lender 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 Agent or any Lender. In addition, until the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitment 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 14.2. 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 any Borrower 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
Agent or any Lender may have against any Borrower, to all right, title and
interest Lender may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right
Agent or any Lender 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 and Lenders and shall forthwith be paid
over to Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. 14.7.
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 and
Lenders and shall forthwith be paid over to Agent 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. 14.8. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and
shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitment shall have terminated and all
Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan112.jpg]
-107- #53262136_v7 Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke
this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed
Obligations. 14.9. Authority of Guarantors or Borrowers. It is not necessary for
Agent or any Lender 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. 14.10. Financial Condition of Borrowers. Any Loan
may be made to Borrowers or continued from time to time, without notice to or
authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition
of Borrowers at the time of any such grant or continuation. Neither Agent nor
any Lender 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 each
Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of such
Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents,
and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of
the financial condition of Borrowers 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 Agent or any Lender to disclose any
matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of any
Borrower now known or hereafter known by Agent or any Lender. 14.11. Bankruptcy,
etc. So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor
shall, without the prior written consent of Agent, 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. 14.11.1. 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 other
Guarantor or by any defense which any Borrower or any other Guarantor may have
by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body
resulting from any such proceeding. 14.11.2. 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 Section
14.11.1 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 Agent and Lenders 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 and Lenders, or allow the claim of Agent and Lenders in
respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or
proceeding is commenced. 14.11.3. 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

MISCELLANEOUS 15.1. Consents, Amendments and Waivers. 15.1.1. Amendment. No
modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a
Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective
without the prior written agreement of Agent (with the consent of Required
Lenders) and each Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that
(a) without the prior written consent of Agent, no modification shall be
effective with respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any
rights, duties or discretion of Agent; (b) without the prior written consent of
Issuing Bank, no modification shall be effective with respect to any LC
Obligations or any other provision in a Loan Document that relates to any
rights, duties or discretion of Issuing Bank; (c) without the prior written
consent of each affected Lender, including a Defaulting Lender, no modification
shall be effective that would (i) increase the Commitment of such Lender; (ii)
reduce the amount of, or waive or delay payment of, any principal, interest or
fees payable to such Lender (except as provided in Section 4.2); (iii) extend
the Revolver Termination Date applicable to such Lender’s Obligations; or (iv)
amend this clause (c); (d) without the prior written consent of all Lenders
(except any Defaulting Lender), no modification shall be effective that would
(i) alter Section 5.5.2, 7.1 (except to add Collateral) or 15.1.1; (ii) amend

(e) without the prior written consent of a Secured Bank Product Provider, no

Section 5.5.2. 15.1.2. Limitations. The agreement of Obligors shall not be
necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals
solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Agent and/or Issuing Bank as among
themselves. Only the consent of the parties to any agreement relating to fees or
a Bank Product shall be required for modification of such agreement, and no Bank
Product provider (in such capacity) shall have any right to consent to
modification of any Loan Document other than its Bank Product agreement. Any
waiver or consent granted by Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only
if in writing and only for the matter specified. Notwithstanding Section 15.1.1,
any amendments that Agent deems appropriate in connection with an increase in
Revolver Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1.7

Lenders that are increasing their Revolver Commitments at such time). 15.1.3.
Payment for Consents. No Obligor will, directly or indirectly, pay any
remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee
or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as
consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan
Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same
terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent. 15.2.
Indemnity. EACH OBLIGOR SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES
AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE,
INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON OR ARISING FROM THE
NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY TO A
LOAN DOCUMENT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION THEREUNDER TO INDEMNIFY OR HOLD HARMLESS AN
INDEMNITEE WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM THAT IS DETERMINED IN A NON-APPEALABLE
JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO RESULT FROM THE GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. 15.3. Notices and
Communications. 15.3.1. Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.1.4, all notices
and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall
be given to any Obligor, at Borrower Agent’s address shown on the signature
pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature

Section 15.3. Each communication shall be effective only (a) if given by
facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if
confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days
after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to
the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly
delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no notice to Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.4, 3.1.2, 4.1.1 or 4.3
shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention
at Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written communication that is
not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be
effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice
received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Obligors. 15.3.2.
Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Electronic mail and internet websites may
be used only for routine communications, such as delivery of Borrower Materials,
administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents, and matters permitted
under Section 4.1.4. Agent and Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and
security of electronic communications. Electronic and voice mail may not be used
as effective notice under the Loan Documents. 15.3.3. Platform. Borrower

-110- #53262136_v7 posting of Borrower Materials on the Platform and the
materials shall be deemed received by Agent only upon its receipt of such
notice. Borrower Materials and other information relating to this credit
facility may be made available to Lenders on the Platform. The Platform is
provided “as is” and “as available.” Agent does not warrant the accuracy or
completeness of any information on the Platform nor the adequacy or functioning
of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any errors or omissions
in the Borrower Materials or any issues involving the Platform. NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS, OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY AGENT
WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. Lenders acknowledge that
Borrower Materials may include material non-public information of Obligors and
should not be made available to any personnel who do not wish to receive such
information or who may be engaged in investment or other market-related
activities with respect to any Obligor’s securities. No Agent Indemnitee shall
have any liability to Obligors, Lenders or any other Person for losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform or delivery of Borrower
Materials and other information through the Platform. 15.3.4. Non-Conforming
Communications. Agent and Lenders may rely upon any communications purportedly
given by or on behalf of any Obligor even if they were not made in a manner
specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms
thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each
Obligor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities,
losses, costs and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic
communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Obligor. 15.4. Performance
of Obligors’ Obligations. Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion at any time and
from time to time, at Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required
of an Obligor under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent
to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect,
insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the
validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment
of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing
charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and
expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this Section shall be
reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers, within five days after demand, with interest
from the date incurred until paid in full, at the Default Rate applicable to
Base Rate Revolver Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this
Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or
to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents. 15.5. Credit
Inquiries. Agent and Lenders may (but shall have no obligation) to respond to
usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor
or Subsidiary. 15.6. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan
Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable
Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions
of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[exhibit101uscthirdarloan116.jpg]
-111- #53262136_v7 15.7. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of
the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan
Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar
matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be
performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by
specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any
provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another
Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control. 15.8.
Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when Agent
has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery
of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such
agreement. 15.9. Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to all
Loan Documents and Obligations. The Loan Documents constitute the entire
agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, among the
parties relating to the subject matter thereof. 15.10. Relationship with
Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender
shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender.
Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent
debt. It shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement
and no action of Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Loan
Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Agent and any Secured Party
to be a partnership, joint venture or similar arrangement, nor to constitute
control of any Obligor. 15.11. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In
connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan
Document, Obligors acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and
any related arranging or other services by Agent, any Lender, any of their
Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between
Obligors and such Person; (ii) Obligors have consulted their own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed
appropriate; and (iii) Obligors are capable of evaluating, and understand and
accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents; (b) each of Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is
and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in
writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as
an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Obligors, any of their Affiliates or any
other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and
(c) Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad
range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Obligors
and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests
to Obligors or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, each Obligor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against
Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of
agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a
Loan Document. 15.12. Confidentiality. Each of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank
shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-112- #53262136_v7 (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided
such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and
instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any
governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable
Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto;
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other
Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents or
Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as this Section, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or
its advisors) to any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of Borrower Agent; or
(h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as
a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Agent, any Lender,
Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than Obligors that has not obtained such information in breach of this
Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may publish or
disseminate general information concerning this credit facility for league
table, tombstone and advertising purposes, and may use Obligors’ logos,
trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein,
“Information” means all information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary
relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when
delivered. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a
degree of care similar to that which it accords its own confidential
information. Each of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank acknowledges that (i)
Information may include material non-public information; (ii) it has developed
compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and
(iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with
Applicable Law. 15.13. Certifications Regarding Senior Notes . Obligors certify
to Agent and Lenders that neither the execution nor performance of the Loan
Documents or the incurrence of any Obligations by Obligors violates any
provision of any Senior Notes Document. 15.14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW
PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).
15.15. Consent to Forum. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER
TEXAS, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS,
AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH
COURT. EACH OBLIGOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT
IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION,
VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE
OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 15.3.1. Nothing herein
shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any
Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in
any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to preclude enforcement by Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any
forum or jurisdiction.

[exhibit101uscthirdarloan118.jpg]
-113- #53262136_v7 15.16. Waivers by Obligors. To the fullest extent permitted
by Applicable Law, each Obligor waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which
Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any
kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b)
presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment,
notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, maturity, release,

on which an Obligor may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Agent
may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any
Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to
allowing Agent to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all

Bank or any Lender, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual

Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof.
Each Obligor acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement
to Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that they
are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Obligor. Each Obligor has
reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and
voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with
legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a
written consent to a trial by the court. 15.17. Patriot Act Notice. Agent and
Lenders hereby notify Obligors that pursuant to the Patriot Act, Agent and
Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
each Obligor, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other
information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with
the Patriot Act. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each
personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Obligors’
management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and
date of birth. 15.18. NO ORAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
15.19. Non-Applicability of Chapter 346. Obligors, Agent and Lenders hereby
agree that, except for the opt-out provisions of Section 346.004 thereof, the

-114- #53262136_v7 VOLUNTARILY CONSENTS TO THIS WAIVER. EACH OBLIGOR EXPRESSLY
WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT EACH OBLIGOR (A) IS NOT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY
DISPARATE BARGAINING POSITION RELATIVE TO AGENT AND LENDERS, AND (B) HAS BEEN
REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS AGREEMENT. 15.21. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement and each other Loan Document, the Liens,
security interests and rights granted pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of (and
the exercise of any right or remedy by the Agent hereunder or thereunder shall
be subject to the terms and conditions of), any Intercreditor Agreement in
effect from time to time. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement
and any other Loan Document or any Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be,
the Intercreditor Agreement shall control, and no right, power, or remedy
granted to the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be
exercised by the Agent, and no direction shall be given by the Agent, in
contravention of such Intercreditor Agreement. 15.22. Acknowledgement and
Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any
Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other
agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party
hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is
unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA

be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an
EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be
payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and (b) the
effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other
instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent
undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise
conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be
accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms
of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and
conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 15.23. Amendment and
Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Initial Loan
Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents govern the present
relationship between the Obligors, Agent and Lenders. This Agreement, however,
is in no way intended, nor shall it be construed, to affect, replace, impair or
extinguish the creation, attachment, perfection or priority of the security
interests in, and other Liens on, the Collateral,

-115- #53262136_v7 which security interests and other Liens each of the
Obligors, by this Agreement, acknowledges, reaffirms and confirms to Agent and
Lenders. In addition, except as otherwise provided herein, all monetary
obligations and liabilities and indebtedness created or existing under, pursuant
to, or as a result of, the Initial Loan Agreement, other than Excluded Swap
Obligations (the “Initial Loan Agreement Obligations”) shall continue in
existence within the definition of “Obligations” under this Agreement, which
obligations, liabilities and indebtedness the Obligors, by this Agreement,
acknowledge, reaffirm and confirm. The Obligors agree that any outstanding
commitment or other obligation to make advances or otherwise extend credit or
credit support to any Obligor pursuant to the Initial Loan Agreement is
superseded by, and renewed and consolidated under, this Agreement. The Obligors
represent and warrant that none of them have assigned or otherwise transferred
any rights arising under the Initial Loan Agreement. To the extent not amended
and restated as of the Closing Date, the Loan Documents executed in connection
with the Initial Loan Agreement and in effect prior to the Closing Date (the
“Existing Loan Documents”) shall continue in full force and effect, are hereby
ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed in all respects, and shall, for the avoidance
of doubt, constitute “Loan Documents” under this Agreement. The terms of the
Loan Documents that correspond to the Existing Loan Documents that have been
amended and restated as of the Closing Date shall govern for any period
occurring on or after the Closing Date, and the terms of such Existing Loan
Documents prior to their amendment and restatement shall govern for any period
beginning before the Closing Date and ending on the day immediately preceding
the Closing Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) each reference in any
Loan Document to the “Loan Agreement”, any other Loan Document that is being
amended and restated as of the Closing Date, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of
like import, is hereby amended, mutatis mutandis, as applicable in the context,
to be a reference to, and shall thereafter mean, this Agreement or such other
amended and restated Loan Document, as applicable in the context (as each may be
amended, modified or supplemented and in effect from time to time) and (ii) the
definition of any term defined in any Loan Document by reference to the terms
defined in the “Loan Agreement” or any other Loan Document that is being amended
and restated as of the Closing Date is hereby amended to be defined by reference
to the defined term in this Agreement or such other amended and restated Loan
Document, as applicable (as each may be amended, modified or supplemented and in
effect from time to time). In order to induce Lenders to enter into this
Agreement on the Closing Date, each Obligor hereby represents, warrants and
covenants to Lenders that it has determined that each Obligor will benefit
specifically and materially from the amendment and restatement of the Initial
Loan Agreement pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date and that each
Obligor requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for
the Loans contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date. 15.24. Release.
EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF IT HAS NO DEFENSE,
COUNTERCLAIM, OFFSET, CROSS COMPLAINT, CLAIM OR DEMAND OF ANY KIND OR NATURE
WHATSOEVER THAT CAN BE ASSERTED TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ALL OR ANY PART OF ITS
LIABILITY TO REPAY THE “OBLIGATIONS” OR TO SEEK AFFIRMATIVE RELIEF OR DAMAGES OF
ANY KIND OR NATURE FROM ANY LENDER. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND
