THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of April 14, 2009 (the
“Amendment”) is entered into among Georgia Gulf Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (“GGC”), Royal Group, Inc. (formerly known as Royal Group
Technologies Limited), a Canadian federal corporation (the “Canadian Borrower”;
together with GGC, the “Borrowers”), the Guarantors, the Lenders party hereto,
Bank of America, National Association, as Domestic Administrative Agent and Bank
of America, National Association acting through its Canada branch, as Canadian
Administrative Agent.  All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit
Agreement (as defined below).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders, Bank of America, National
Association, as Domestic Administrative Agent, Domestic Collateral Agent and
Domestic L/C Issuer, Bank of America, National Association acting through its
Canada branch, as Canadian Administrative Agent, Canadian Collateral Agent and
Canadian L/C Issuer and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Canadian Swing Line Lender
entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 3, 2006 (as
amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, GGC has requested that the Lenders amend the Credit Agreement as set
forth below;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

 

Section 1.               Amendments.

 

(a)           The first sentence of Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by inserting “; provided that the failure, if any, of GGC or any
Subsidiary to make the interest payments due on April 15, 2009 under the 2006
Senior Notes and the 2006 Senior Subordinated Notes shall not render inaccurate
the foregoing representation unless any portion of such amounts remains unpaid
as of 5:00 p.m. on May 11, 2009” at the end thereof.

 

(b)           Section 7.04 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
inserting “; provided that the failure, if any, of any Loan Party to make the
interest payments due on April 15, 2009 under the 2006 Senior Notes and the 2006
Senior Subordinated Notes shall not constitute a breach of this covenant unless
any portion of such amounts remains unpaid as of 5:00 p.m. on May 11, 2009” at
the end thereof.

 

(c)           Section 9.01(f)(i)(A) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
inserting “(or, in the case of the interest payments due on April 15, 2009 under
the 2006 Senior Notes and the 2006 Senior Subordinated Notes, prior to 5:00 p.m.
on May 11, 2009)” immediately following the word “due” in the first line
thereof.  For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the failure
to have made any such payment prior to 5:00 p.m. on May 11, 2009 does not
constitute a Default.

 

Section 2.               Conditions Precedent.  This Amendment shall be
effective upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (the date on
which such conditions have been satisfied, the “Amendment Effective Date”):

 

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

 

(a)           Receipt by the Domestic Administrative Agent of counterparts of
this Amendment duly executed by the Borrowers, the Guarantors set forth on the
signature pages hereto, the Required Lenders, the Required Domestic Revolving
Lenders, the Required Canadian Revolving Lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as
Administrative Agent;

 

(b)           Receipt by the Domestic Administrative Agent (i) for the account
of (x) each Lender that has the right under the Credit Agreement to approve this
Amendment and that has executed this Amendment on or prior to 9:00 p.m., New
York City time, on April 14, 2009 and (y) each other Lender that has the right
under the Credit Agreement to approve this Amendment and that has not been given
the opportunity to access this Amendment and consent thereto (each of the
Lenders described in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) a “Consenting Lender”), a
fee equal to 0.125% of the aggregate amount of each such Consenting Lender’s
(A) Canadian Revolving Commitment, (B) Canadian Swing Line Commitment,
(C) Domestic Revolving Commitment and (D) portion of the Term Loan outstanding
and (ii) any fees and expenses of the Administrative Agents (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Administrative Agents) in connection with the
Loan Documents;

 

(c)           Receipt by BAS of all fees, expenses and other amounts that have
become due and payable to BAS, in its capacity as arranger of the Amendment, on
or prior to the Amendment Effective Date pursuant to that certain letter
agreement dated as of April 10, 2009 between GGC and BAS; and

 

(d)           Receipt by any Administrative Agent of such other documents,
instruments, agreements and information as reasonably requested by such
Administrative Agent.

 

Section 3.               Release.

 

(a)           Each Loan Party and its respective successors, assigns and legal
representatives (collectively, the “Releasors”), releases, acquits and forever
discharges each Administrative Agent and each Lender (collectively, the “Lender
Parties”), and their respective subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys, advisors, successors and assigns, both
present and former (collectively, the “Lender Party Affiliates”), from any and
all manner of losses, costs, defenses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies,
actions, causes of action, suits, debts, controversies, damages, judgments,
executions, claims, demands and out-of-pocket expenses whatsoever, asserted or
unasserted, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, in contract, tort, law or
equity (generically, “Claims”), that any Releasor has or may have against any of
the Lender Parties and/or the Lender Party Affiliates by reason of any action,
failure to act, event, statement, accusation, assertion, matter or thing
whatsoever arising from or based on facts occurring prior to the Amendment
Effective Date that arises out of or is connected to the Loan Documents, the
Loans and the Letters of Credit, including but not limited to any Claims or
defense that relates to, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly:  (i) the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated
thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit under the
Loan Documents; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Loan Parties of the
proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) any actions or omissions of any
Lender Party or Lender Party Affiliate in connection with the initiation or
continuing exercise of any right or remedy contained in the Loan Documents at
law or in equity; (v) the making or administration of the Loans, including
without limitation, any such claims and defenses based on fraud, mistake,
duress, usury or misrepresentation, or any other claim based on so-called
“lender liability theories”; (vi) any covenants, agreements, duties or
obligations set forth in the Loan Documents; (vii) lost profits, (viii) loss of
business opportunity, (ix) increased financing costs, (x) increased legal or
other administrative fees or (xi) damages to business reputation.

 

2

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

 

(b)           Each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns,
and other legal representatives, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees
that it will not sue any Lender Party or Lender Party Affiliate on the basis of
any Claim released, remised and discharged by such Loan Party pursuant to this
Section 3.  If any Loan Party or any of their respective successors, assigns or
other legal representatives violates the foregoing covenant, each Loan Party,
for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay,
in addition to such other damages as any Lender Party or Lender Party Affiliate
may sustain as a result of such violation, all reasonable and documented
attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by any Lender Party or Lender Party Affiliate
as a result of such violation.

 

Section 4.               Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           The Credit Agreement, and the obligations of the Loan Parties
thereunder and under the other Loan Documents, are hereby ratified and confirmed
and shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms.

 

(b)           Each Guarantor (a) acknowledges and consents to all of the terms
and conditions of this Amendment, (b) affirms all of its obligations under the
Loan Documents and (c) agrees that this Amendment and all documents executed in
connection herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge its obligations under
the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents.

 

(c)           The Borrowers and the Guarantors hereby represent and warrant as
follows:

 

(i)            Each Loan Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment.

 

(ii)           This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Loan
Parties and constitutes each of the Loan Parties’ legal, valid and binding
obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and general principles of
equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law).

 

(iii)          No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing,
registration or qualification with, any court or governmental authority or third
party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by
any Loan Party of this Amendment.

 

(d)           The Loan Parties represent and warrant to the Lenders that after
giving effect to this Amendment (i) the representations and warranties of the
Loan Parties set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement and in each other
Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects as of the date
hereof and will be true and correct in all material respects as of the Amendment
Effective Date with the same effect as if made on and as of such dates, except
to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an
earlier date and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes
a Default or an Event of Default.

 

(e)           Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and confirms the security interest
in and to all Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
Collateral Documents and the perfected, first priority status of such security
interest as set forth therein (subject only to liens which are permitted by the
terms of the Loan Documents to be prior to the Lien of the Collateral Agent).

 

3

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

 

(f)            In the event that the Amendment Effective Date occurs during the
period beginning on April 15, 2009 through and including May 11, 2009, the
Lenders hereby waive, solely during the period beginning on April 15, 2009
through and including the Amendment Effective Date, any Event of Default under
Section 9.01(f) of the Credit Agreement arising from the Company’s failure to
pay the interest payments due on April 15, 2009 on the 2006 Senior Notes and the
2006 Senior Subordinated Notes.  The waiver granted pursuant to this
Section 4(f) shall be limited precisely as written, and shall not extend to any
Default or Event of Default under any other provision of the Credit Agreement.

 

(g)           This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Amendment by telecopy shall be effective as an original and
shall constitute a representation that an executed original shall be delivered.

 

(h)           THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
