Line Borrowing under this Section 2.01(b) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or any larger multiple of $50,000. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay and reborrow under
this Section 2.01(b) at any time before the Termination Date. Solely for purposes of calculating fees under Section 2.07(a), Swing Advances shall not be considered a utilization of the Revolver Commitment of BB&T or any other Lender
hereunder. All Swing Advances shall be made as Base Rate Advances. At any time, upon the request of BB&T, each Lender other than BB&T shall, on the third Domestic Business Day after such request is made, purchase a participating interest in
Swing Advances in an amount equal to its ratable share (based upon its respective Revolver Commitment) of such Swing Advances. On such third Domestic Business Day, each Lender will immediately transfer to BB&T, in immediately available funds,
the amount of its participation. Whenever, at any time after BB&T has received from any such Lender its participating interest in a Swing Advance, the Administrative Agent receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will
distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded);
provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Administrative Agent is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the

  

 - 27 - 








 
Administrative Agent any portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent to it. Each Lender’s obligation to purchase such participating interests shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation: (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have against BB&T requesting such
purchase or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default or the termination of the Revolver Commitments; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial, business or
otherwise) of any Loan Party or any other Person; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing. 
 (c) Reducing Revolver Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth
herein, to make Reducing Revolver Advances to the Borrower from time to time before the Termination Date; provided, that, immediately after each such Reducing Revolver Advance is made, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Reducing
Revolver Advances by such Lender shall not exceed the amount of the Reducing Revolver Commitment of such Lender at such time; provided further, that the aggregate principal amount of all Reducing Revolver Advances shall not exceed the
aggregate amount of the Reducing Revolver Commitments of all of the Lenders at such time. Each Reducing Revolver Borrowing under this Section 2.01(c) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000
(except that any such Reducing Revolver Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the Total Unused Reducing Revolver Commitments) and shall be made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Reducing Revolver Commitments.
Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(c), repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.10, prepay Reducing Revolver Advances and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c) at any time before the
Termination Date. 
 SECTION 2.02. Method of Borrowing Advances. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in an Asset Based Lending Credit Line Sweep Services Agreement, the Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Notice of Borrowing”) prior to 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) at least two (2) Domestic Business Day before each Borrowing, specifying: 
 (i) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day, 
 (ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, 
 (iii) whether such Borrowing will be a Revolver Borrowing, a Reducing Revolver Borrowing or a Swing Line Borrowing; and 
 (iv) in the case of a Revolver Borrowing or a Reducing Revolver Borrowing, whether the Advances comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Advances or Euro-Dollar Advances. 
 (b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and (unless
such Borrowing is a Swing Line Borrowing) of such Lender’s ratable share of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing, once received by the Administrative Agent, shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. 
  

 - 28 - 








 (c) Not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Lender
shall make available its ratable share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in or specified pursuant to Section 9.01. Unless
the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied: (1) in the case of a Revolver Borrowing or a Reducing Revolver Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will disburse the funds
so received from the Lenders to the Borrower; and (2) in the case of a Swing Line Borrowing, BB&T will make available to the Borrower the amount of any such Swing Line Borrowing. 
 (d) In the event that a Notice of Borrowing fails to specify whether the Advances comprising a Revolver Borrowing or a Reducing Revolver
Borrowing are to be Base Rate Advances or Euro-Dollar Advances, such Advances shall be made as Euro-Dollar Advances. If the Borrower is otherwise entitled under this Agreement to repay any Advances maturing at the end of an Interest Period
applicable thereto with the proceeds of a new Borrowing, and the Borrower fails to repay such Advances using its own moneys and fails to give a Notice of Borrowing in connection with such new Borrowing, a new Borrowing shall be deemed to be made on
the date such Advances mature in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Advances so maturing, and the Advances comprising such new Borrowing shall be Euro-Dollar Advances. 
 SECTION 2.03. Conversion Elections. 
 By delivering a notice (a “Notice of Conversion”), which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, to the Administrative Agent on or before 12:00 P.M., Eastern time, on a
Domestic Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect, by notice one Domestic Business Day prior, that all, or any portion in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or any larger integral multiple of $100,000 be, (i) in
the case of Base Rate Advances, converted into Euro-Dollar Advances or (ii) in the case of Euro-Dollar Advances, converted into Base Rate Advances; provided, however, that each such conversion shall be pro rated among the applicable
outstanding Advances of all Lenders that have made such Advances. 
 SECTION 2.04. Notes. 
 The Revolver Advances of each Lender shall be evidenced by a single Revolver Note payable to the order of such Lender for the account of its
Lending Office in an amount equal to the original principal amount of such Lender’s Revolver Commitment. The Reducing Revolver Advances of each Lender shall be evidenced by a single Reducing Revolver Note payable to the order of such Lender for
the account of its Lending Office in an amount equal to the original principal amount of such Lender’s Reducing Revolver Commitment. Upon the request of BB&T, the Swing Advances may be evidenced by a single Swing Advance Note payable to the
order of BB&T in the original principal amount of $5,000,000. Upon receipt of each Lender’s Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, the Administrative Agent shall deliver such Notes to such Lender. Each Lender shall record, and prior to any
transfer of its Notes shall endorse on the

  

 - 29 - 








 
schedules forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence, the date, amount and maturity of, and effective interest rate for, each Advance made by it thereunder, the date and amount of
each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto and such schedule shall be conclusive evidence, in the absence of manifest error, of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Lender’s Notes; provided, that the
failure of any Lender to make, or any error in making, any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or the ability of any Lender to assign its Notes. Each Lender is hereby
irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Notes and to attach to and make a part of any Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required. 
 SECTION 2.05. Maturity of Advances. 
 Each Revolver Advance and each
Reducing Revolver Advance included in any Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount thereof, together with all accrued unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. 
 SECTION 2.06. Interest Rates. 
 (a) “Applicable Margin” shall be determined quarterly based upon the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, determined as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter for the Fiscal Quarter
then ending as follows: 
  

										
	 Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio
	  	Euro-Dollar
Advances	 	 	Base Rate
Advances	 	 	Letters of
Credit	 
				
	 Greater than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0
	  	3.50	% 	 	1.00	% 	 	1.95	% 
				
	 Greater than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0 but less than 3.5 to 1.0
	  	3.25	% 	 	0.50	% 	 	1.725	% 
				
	 Less than 2.5 to 1.0
	  	2.75	% 	 	0.25	% 	 	1.25	% 

 The Applicable Margin shall be determined effective as of the date (herein, the
“Rate Determination Date”) which is the first calendar day of the first calendar month after the day the Administrative Agent receives the Margin and Fee Rate Report for the Fiscal Quarter for which the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated
EBITDA Ratio is being determined, and the Applicable Margin so determined shall remain effective from such Rate Determination Date until the date which is the first calendar day of the first calendar month after the day the Administrative Agent
receives the Margin and Fee Rate Report for the Fiscal Quarter in which such Rate Determination Date falls (which latter date shall be a new Rate Determination Date); provided, that (i) for the period from and including the Closing Date
to but excluding the Rate Determination Date next following the Closing Date, the Applicable Margin shall be 3.50% for Euro-Dollar Advances, 1.00% for Base Rate Advances and 1.95% for Letters of Credit, and (ii) if on any Rate Determination
Date the Borrower shall have failed to deliver to the Lender the

  

 - 30 - 








 
Margin and Fee Rate Report required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(l) with respect to the Fiscal Quarter most recently ended prior to such Rate Determination Date, then for the
period beginning on such Rate Determination Date and ending on the earlier of the date on which the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the Margin and Fee Rate Report to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(l) with respect to
such Fiscal Quarter, the Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum determined as if the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio was greater than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0; provided, that at the election of the Required Lenders, the
principal amount of the Advances shall bear interest at the Default Rate upon the failure by the Borrower to deliver any Margin and Fee Rate Report. Any change in the Applicable Margin on any Rate Determination Date shall result in a corresponding
change, effective on and as of such Rate Determination Date, in the interest rate applicable to the Advances and in the fees applicable to each Letter of Credit outstanding on such Rate Determination Date; provided, that no Applicable Margin
shall be decreased pursuant to this Section 2.06 if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the Rate Determination Date. 
 (b) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Advance is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable
Margin. Such interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date while such Base Rate Advance is outstanding and on the date such Base Rate Advance is repaid. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue
interest on any Base Rate Advance shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. 
 (c) Each Euro-Dollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of: (1) the Applicable
Margin, plus (2) the applicable Adjusted London InterBank Offered Rate for such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date while such Euro-Dollar Advance is outstanding and the date such Euro-Dollar Advance is
repaid. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest on any Euro-Dollar Advance shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

 The “London InterBank Offered Rate” applicable to any Euro-Dollar Advance means for the Interest Period of such
Euro-Dollar Advance the rate per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in Dollars offered for a term of one month, which rate appears on the display designated as Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or such other successor page as may
replace Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Banker’s Association for the purpose of displaying London InterBank Offered Rates for U.S. dollar deposits) determined as of 11:00 A.M.
London, England time, on the first day of such Interest Period (or on the immediately preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day if the first day of such Interest Period is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day), provided, that if no such offered rates
appear on such page, the “London InterBank Offered Rate” for such Interest Period will be the arithmetic average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1%) of rates quoted by not less than two (2) major lenders
in New York City, selected by the Administrative Agent, at approximately 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the first day of such Interest Period (or on the immediately preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day if the first day of such Interest Period is
not a Euro-Dollar Business Day), for deposits in Dollars offered by leading European banks for a period comparable to such Interest Period in an amount comparable to the principal amount of such Euro-Dollar Advance. 
  

 - 31 - 








 “Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage” means, for any day, that percentage (expressed as
a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in respect of
“Eurocurrency liabilities” (or in respect of any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on such Euro-Dollar Advance is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other
assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender to United States residents). The Adjusted London InterBank Offered Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Euro-Dollar Reserve
Percentage. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Advances hereunder in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders by telecopy of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. 
 (e) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
under Sections 6.01(a), (g) or (h)), the principal amount of the Advances (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all accrued interest thereon) may, at the election of the Required Lenders, bear interest at the Default Rate;
provided, however, that automatically whether or not the Required Lenders elect to do so, (i) any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest on the Advances shall bear interest payable on demand, for each
day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in Sections 6.01(a), (g) or (h), the principal amount of the Advances (and, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, all accrued interest thereon) shall bear interest payable on demand for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. 
 SECTION 2.07. Fees. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender an unused commitment fee equal to the product of: (i) the aggregate of the daily average amounts of such
Lender’s Unused Commitment, times (ii) a per annum percentage equal to the Applicable Fee Rate. Such unused commitment fee shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to and including the Termination Date. Unused commitment fees shall
be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Termination Date; provided, that should the Commitments of all of the Lenders be terminated at any time prior to the Termination Date for any reason, the entire accrued
and unpaid fee shall be paid on the date of such termination. 
 (b) The “Applicable Fee Rate” shall be determined
quarterly based upon the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, determined as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter for the Fiscal Quarter then ending, as follows: 
  

				
	 Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio
	  	Applicable
Fee Rate	 
		
	 Greater than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0
	  	0.625	% 
		
	 Less than 2.5 to 1.0
	  	0.375	% 

  

 - 32 - 








 The Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined effective as of the date (herein, the “Fee
Determination Date”) which is the first calendar day of the first calendar month after the day the Administrative Agent receives the Margin and Fee Rate Report for the Fiscal Quarter for which the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio
is being determined, and the Applicable Fee Rate so determined shall remain effective from such Fee Determination Date until the date which is the first calendar day of the first calendar month after the day the Administrative Agent receives the
Margin and Fee Rate Report for the Fiscal Quarter in which such Fee Determination Date falls (which latter date shall be a new Fee Determination Date); provided, that (i) for the period from and including the Closing Date to but
excluding the Fee Determination Date next following the Closing Date, the Applicable Fee Rate shall be 0.625%, and (ii) if, on any Fee Determination Date, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver to the Lender the Margin and Fee Rate Report
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(l) with respect to the Fiscal Quarter most recently ended prior to such Fee Determination Date, then for the period beginning on such Fee Determination Date and ending on the earlier of the date
on which the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the Margin and Fee Rate Report to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(l) with respect to such Fiscal Quarter, the Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined as if the Consolidated
Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio was greater than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0. In no event shall the Applicable Fee Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 2.07 if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the Fee Determination Date.

 (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender, with respect to each Letter of
Credit, a per annum letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the product of: (i) the aggregate average daily Undrawn Amounts, times (ii) a per annum percentage equal to the Applicable Margin for Letters of
Credit (determined in accordance with the pricing grid set forth in Section 2.06(a)). Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable in arrears for each Letter of Credit on each Quarterly Payment Date during the term of each respective Letter of
Credit and on the termination thereof (whether at its stated expiry date or earlier). 
 (d) The Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer a facing fee (the “Facing Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit equal to the product of: (i) the face amount of such Letter of Credit, times
(ii) one-eighth (1/8th) of one percent (0.125%).
Such Facing Fee shall be due and payable on such date as may be agreed upon by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer, for its own account, transfer fees, drawing fees, modification fees,
extension fees and such other fees and charges as may be provided for in any Letter of Credit Application Agreement or otherwise charged by the Letter of Credit Issuer. No Lender shall be entitled to any portion of the Facing Fees or any other fees
payable by the Borrower to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.07(d). 
  

 - 33 - 








 (e) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account and sole benefit of
the Administrative Agent, such fees and other amounts at such times as are set forth in the Administrative Agent’s Letter Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.08. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 
 (a) The Borrower
may, upon at least three (3) Domestic Business Day’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate at any time, or proportionately reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000 or any larger multiple
of $1,000,000, the Commitments of all of the Lenders; provided, however: (1) each termination or reduction, as the case may be, shall be permanent and irrevocable; (2) no such termination or reduction shall be in an amount greater
than the sum of the Total Unused Revolver Commitments and the Total Unused Reducing Revolver Commitments on the date of such termination or reduction; and (3) no such reduction pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall result in the aggregate
Commitments of all of the Lenders being reduced to an amount less than $60,000,000, unless the Commitments of all of the Lenders are terminated in their entirety, in which case all accrued fees (as provided under Section 2.07) shall be payable
on the effective date of such termination. Each reduction shall be made ratably between the Revolver Commitments and the Reducing Revolver Commitments, and ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 (b) On November 4, 2010, and on each anniversary thereof, the Reducing Revolver Commitments shall be reduced automatically by an
aggregate amount equal to $1,670,000 in each case. Each such reduction shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Reducing Revolver Commitments. 
 (c) On the fifteenth (15th) day after receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Initial Equipment Appraisal, the Reducing Revolver
Commitments shall be reduced automatically by an aggregate amount equal to the positive difference (if any) between (i) $25,000,000, and (ii) the sum of (x) $15,300,000 and (y) 80% of the net orderly liquidation value of the
Borrower’s equipment as stated on the Initial Equipment Appraisal. 
 SECTION 2.09. Termination of Commitments on the
Termination Date. 
 The Commitments of all of the Lenders shall terminate on the Termination Date and any Advances then
outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon) shall be due and payable on such date. 
 SECTION 2.10. Optional
Prepayments. 
 (a) The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Domestic Business Day’s notice to the Administrative
Agent, prepay any Borrowing in whole at any time, or from time to time in part, in amounts aggregating at least $100,000 or any larger integral multiple of $50,000 (or any lesser amount equal to the outstanding balance of such Advance), by paying
the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied first to any Swing Advances outstanding, and then to prepay ratably the Advances of the several
Lenders included in such Borrowing, as the case may be. 
  

 - 34 - 








 (b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share of such prepayment and such notice, once received by the Administrative Agent, shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

 SECTION 2.11. Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (a) On each date on which the Commitments of all of the Lenders are reduced or terminated pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or Section 2.09, the Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal amount of
the outstanding Advances (together with interest accrued thereon and any amount due under Article VIII), as may be necessary so that after such payment (i) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolver Advances and Letter of Credit
Obligations do not exceed the lesser of: (A) the Borrowing Base, and (B) the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments as then reduced, and (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Reducing Revolver Advances does not
exceed the aggregate amount of the Reducing Revolver Commitments as then reduced. Each such payment or prepayment shall be applied first to any Swing Advances outstanding, and then ratably to the Advances of the several Lenders outstanding on the
date of payment or prepayment in the following order or priority: (i) first, to Base Rate Advances, and (ii) second, to Euro-Dollar Advances. 
 (b) On the date on which the Reducing Revolver Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.08(b), the Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal amount of the outstanding Reducing Revolver
Advances, if any (together with interest accrued thereon and any amount due under Article VIII), as may be necessary so that after such payment the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Reducing Revolver Advances does not exceed the
aggregate amount of the Reducing Revolver Commitments as then reduced. Each such payment or prepayment shall be applied ratably to the Reducing Revolver Advances of the several Lenders outstanding on the date of payment or prepayment in the
following order or priority: (i) first, to Base Rate Advances, and (ii) second, to Euro-Dollar Advances. 
 (c) In the
event that the aggregate principal amount of all Revolver Advances, together with the aggregate principal amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations at any one time outstanding shall at any time exceed the lesser of: (i) the Borrowing Base, and
(ii) the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments of all of the Lenders at such time, the Borrower shall immediately repay so much of the Revolver Advances as is necessary in order that the aggregate principal amount of the Revolver
Advances thereafter outstanding, together with the aggregate principal amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the Borrowing Base, and (ii) the Revolver Commitments of all of the Lenders at such time.
Each such payment or prepayment shall be applied ratably to the Revolver Advances of the several Lenders outstanding on the date of payment or prepayment in the following order or priority: (i) first, to Base Rate Advances, and
(ii) second, to Euro-Dollar Advances. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at no time shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolver Advances made by any Lender, together with such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swing Advances and Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the amount of the Revolver Commitment of such Lender at such time. 
  

 - 35 - 








 (d) If the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries Dispose of any property which
results in the realization of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate during any Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Advances equal to all such Net Cash Proceeds promptly after the end of such
Fiscal Year; provided however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Net Cash Proceeds relating to the Disposition of obsolete or retired equipment in the ordinary course of business shall not be
included to the extent the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a certificate stating that the applicable Loan Party or Applicable Subsidiary thereof intends to use such Net Cash Proceeds to acquire like assets useful to its business within
180 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, it being expressly agreed that Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested shall count against the $250,000 threshold set forth above. 
 (e) Upon the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof of any of its Capital Securities (other than any sales or
issuances of Capital Securities to another Loan Party), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Advances equal to all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary.

 (f) Upon the incurrence or issuance by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof of any Debt (other than Debt expressly
permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 5.27), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Advances equal to all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such
Subsidiary. 
 (g) Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents relating to the application of proceeds of insurance
with respect to any Collateral, upon any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, and not otherwise included in paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 2.11,
the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Advances equal to all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary. 
 Any repayment or prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not affect any Loan Party’s obligation to continue to make
payments under any Hedging Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such repayment or prepayment, subject to the terms of such Hedging Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.12. General Provisions as to Payments. 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Revolver Advances, Reducing Revolver Advances and of fees hereunder without any set off, counterclaim or any deduction
whatsoever, not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to BB&T each such payment received on account of the Swing Advances and to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders.

  

 - 36 - 








 (b) Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Advances or of fees
shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Advances shall be due on a
day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment
thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. 
 (c) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on
such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Euro-Dollar Advances. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the
Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to
the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have
failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by the Administrative
Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made

 (e) Taxes. 
 (i) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other
Taxes) from such payments, then (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent, Letter
of Credit Issuer or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (C) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (ii) Payment of Other Taxes by the
Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (i) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (iii) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each
Lender, within ten (10) calendar days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
paid by the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (iv) Evidence of Payments. At the Administrative Agent’s request, as soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (v) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed
by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed
by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. 
  

 - 38 - 








 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident
for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender

 (vi) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information

of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

 ARTICLE VII  
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 SECTION 7.01.
Appointment and Authority. 
 (a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints BB&T to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as
a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral
agent” under the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a Hedge Counterparty, or as the provider of Bank Products or Cash
Management Services, if applicable) and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and
enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 SECTION 7.02. Rights as a Lender. 
 The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual
capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders 
 SECTION 7.03. Exculpatory Provisions. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided, that the Administrative

  

 - 72 - 








 
Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or
applicable law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to
disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or
at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.05
and 6.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of
Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or
elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 7.04. Reliance by the Administrative Agent. 
 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon,
and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that
such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
  

 - 73 - 








 SECTION 7.05. Delegation of Duties. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.
The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 7.06. Resignation of
Administrative Agent. 
 The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the
Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of
any such bank with an office in the United States of America. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) calendar days after the retiring Administrative
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may. on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative
Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall
instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties
and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent. 
  

 - 74 - 








 SECTION 7.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their
Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 SECTION 7.08. No Other Duties, etc. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers
listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 
 SECTION 7.09. Other Agents. 
 The Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledges that any Lender designated as an “Agent” on the signature pages hereof (other than the Administrative Agent) shall not have any obligations,
duties or liabilities hereunder other than in its capacity as a Lender. 
 SECTION 7.10. Collateral Matters. 

(a) Each Lender (including in its capacity as a Hedge Counterparty, or as the provider of Bank Products or Cash Management Services, if
applicable) and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of such Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit
Issuer hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth in Section 9.05(a), any action taken by the Required Lenders, in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders and
the Letter of Credit Issuer. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of all of Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender or the Letter of Credit
Issuer from time to time prior to, an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the
Collateral Documents. 
 (b) Each Lender (including in its capacity as a Hedge Counterparty, or as the provider of Bank Products
or Cash Management Services, if applicable) and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 
  

 - 75 - 








 (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document
(A) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (1) contingent indemnification obligations and (2) obligations and liabilities under Hedging Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory
to the applicable Hedge Counterparty shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have been
made), (B) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (C) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders, or (D) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and 
 (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by this Agreement or any other
Loan Document. 
 Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm in
writing Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.10. 
 (c) Subject to paragraph (b) above, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to execute such documents as may be necessary to
evidence the release or subordination of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties herein or pursuant hereto upon the applicable Collateral; provided that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to
execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to or create any liability or entail any consequence other than the release or subordination of such Liens without recourse or
warranty and (ii) such release or subordination shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the
Collateral Agent shall be authorized to deduct all expenses reasonably incurred by the Collateral Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. 
 (d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or is
cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent in any of the Collateral Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 7.10
or in any of the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given
the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer. 
  

 - 76 - 








 (e) Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby appoints each other Lender as agent
for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ and the Letter of Credit Issuer’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender or the Letter of Credit
Issuer (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver
such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. 
 ARTICLE VIII  

 CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES; COMPENSATION 
 SECTION 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. 
 If the Required Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the London InterBank Offered Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding any Euro-Dollar Advances,
the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of
the Lenders to make Euro-Dollar Advances shall be suspended and all outstanding Euro-Dollar Advances shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Advances. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Euro-Dollar
Business Days before the date of any Borrowing of Euro-Dollar Advances for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given, that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing. 

SECTION 8.02. Illegality. 
 If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any change in any existing or future law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (any such authority, bank or agency being referred to as an “Authority” and any such event
being referred to as a “Change of Law”), or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) with any formal request or directive of any Authority shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Lending Office) to make,
maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Advances and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make or permit continuations or conversions of Euro-Dollar Advances shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender. If such Lender shall reasonably determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its portion of the outstanding Euro-Dollar

  

 - 77 - 








 
Advances to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of the Euro-Dollar Advances of such Lender.
Concurrently with prepaying such Euro-Dollar Advances, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Advance in an equal principal amount from such Lender (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar
Advances of the other Lenders), and such Lender shall make such a Base Rate Advance. 
 SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and
Reduced Return. 
 (a) If after the date hereof, a Change of Law or compliance by any Lender (which for purposes of this
Section 8.03 shall include the Letter of Credit Issuer) (or its Lending Office) with any formal request or directive of any Authority: 
 (i) shall subject any Lender (or its Lending Office) to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Euro-Dollar Advances made by it, or shall change the basis of taxation of
payments to any Lender (or its Lending Office) in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive
office or Lending Office is located); or 
 (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar
Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (or its Lending Office); or 
 (iii) shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Euro-Dollar Advances by such Lender or
participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) of making or
maintaining any Euro-Dollar Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect
thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender, in its reasonable discretion, to be material, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
reasonably compensate such Lender for such additional or increased cost or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender shall have
determined that after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any existing or future law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof,
or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) with any formal request or directive regarding capital adequacy of any Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into

  

 - 78 - 








 
consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender, in its reasonable discretion, to be material, then from time to time, upon demand
by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will reasonably compensate such Lender for such reduction. 
 (c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation
pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such
Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor
(except that, if the event 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). 
 SECTION 8.04. Base Rate Advances Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Advances. 
 If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain a Euro-Dollar Advance has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or
(ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03, and the Borrower shall, by at least five (5) Euro-Dollar Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions
of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply: 
 (a) all Advances which would otherwise be made by such Lender as or permitted to be continued as or converted into Euro-Dollar Advances
shall instead be made as or converted into Base Rate Advances, (in all cases interest and principal on such Advances shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Advances of the other Lenders), and 
 (b) after its portion of the Euro-Dollar Advance has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such
Euro-Dollar Advance shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Advance instead. 
 In the event that the Borrower shall elect that
the provisions of this Section shall apply to any Lender, the Borrower shall remain liable for, and shall pay to such Lender as provided herein, all amounts due such Lender under Section 8.03 in respect of the period preceding the date of
conversion of such Lender’s portion of any Advance resulting from the Borrower’s election.

foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions
of Sections 9.10 and 9.13. 
 (d) WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ETC. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THE LOAN PARTIES SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVE, ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION
WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, ANY ADVANCE OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF. NO INDEMNITEE REFERRED TO IN
PARAGRAPH (B) ABOVE SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY UNINTENDED RECIPIENTS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS DISTRIBUTED BY IT THROUGH TELECOMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRONIC OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY UNLESS SUCH DAMAGES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. 
 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable
on demand and, if owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall bear interest at the rate otherwise in effect hereunder with respect to Revolver Advances (including the Default Rate, if then applicable) until paid in full. 
 SECTION 9.04. Setoffs; Sharing of Set-Offs; Application of Payments. 
 (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time, 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) at any time held and other obligations
(in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan
Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff
and application; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
  

 - 83 - 








 (b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or
other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Advances and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances and other amounts owing them; provided, that: 
 (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest;
and 
 (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by a Loan Party
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than
to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 
 Each Loan Party
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 
 SECTION 9.05. Amendments and Waivers. 
 (a) Any provision of this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are
affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided, that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Lenders, (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligation,
(ii) reduce the principal of or decrease the rate of interest on any Advance or decrease any fees hereunder, (iii) defer the date fixed for any payment of principal of (including any extension of the Stated Termination Date, except as
contemplated in the definition of such term) or interest on any Advance or any fees hereunder, (iv) reduce the amount of principal, decrease the amount of interest or decrease the amount of fees due on any date fixed for the payment thereof,
(v) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the percentage of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other
provision of this Agreement, (vi) change the manner of application of any payments made under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (vii) release or substitute all or any material portion of the Collateral held as security for the
Obligations, (viii) change or modify the definition of “Required Lenders,” (ix) change the definition of the term “Borrowing Base” or any component definition thereof if as a result thereof the amounts available to be
borrowed by the

  

 - 84 - 








 
Borrower would be increased without the consent of each Lender; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Administrative Agent to change, establish or eliminate
any reserves, or (x) release any guaranty given to support payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing (1) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitments of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, and
(2) the Hedging Agreement, the Administrative Agent’s Letter Agreement and the agreements evidencing the Bank Products and Cash Management Services may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by
the parties thereto. 
 (b) No Loan Party will solicit, request or negotiate for or with respect to any proposed waiver or
amendment of any of the provisions of this Agreement unless each Lender shall be informed thereof by the Borrower, or by the Administrative Agent, and shall be afforded an opportunity to consider the same and shall be supplied by the Borrower, or by
the Administrative Agent, if the Borrower so requests and to the extent already furnished to the Administrative Agent, with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect thereto. Executed or true and correct copies of
any waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for delivery to each Lender forthwith following the date on which the same shall have been executed and
delivered by the requisite percentage of Lenders. No Loan Party will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as such)
as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such Lender of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, on the same terms, ratably to all such
Lenders. 
 SECTION 9.06. Margin Stock Collateral. 
 Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not, directly or
indirectly (by negative pledge or otherwise), relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07. Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) Successors and Assigns
Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign

paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of

hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to

the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at
any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolver Commitment and its Reducing Revolver Commitment and the Revolver Advances and Reducing
Revolver Advances at the time owing to it); provided, that 
 (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and the Advances at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the
Commitments (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitments are not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to such assignment (determined
as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than the
Minimum Amount (as defined herein), unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
(As used herein, “Minimum Amount” shall mean $5,000,000; provided, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, Minimum Amount shall mean $3,000,000); 
 (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advances and the Commitments assigned; 
 (iii) any assignment of a
Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and 
 (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 9.07(b), from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from any further obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.03 and 9.03 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such

  

 - 86 - 








 
assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale
by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. 
 (c)
Register. The Administrative Agent, acting, solely for this purpose, as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Winston-Salem, North Carolina a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.05(a) (i) through (x) (inclusive) that affects such Participant. Subject to
paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.01 through 8.04 inclusive to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.04 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.04 as
though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 8.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. 
  

 - 87 - 








 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 9.08. Confidentiality. 
 Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena
or similar 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on
a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 
 For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information 
 SECTION 9.09. Representation by Lenders. 
 Each Lender hereby represents that it is a commercial lender or financial institution which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make its Advances hereunder for its own
account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that, subject to Section 9.07, the disposition of the Note or Notes held by that Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control. 
  

 - 88 - 








 SECTION 9.10. Obligations Several. 
 The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or commitment of any other
Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable
at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and it shall not be necessary for any other
Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 
 SECTION 9.11. Survival of Certain
Obligations. 
 Sections 8.03(a), 8.03(b) and 9.03, and the obligations of the Loan Parties thereunder, shall survive,
and shall continue to be enforceable notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments of all of the Lenders, and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Advances. 
 SECTION 9.12. Virginia Law. 
 This Agreement and each Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to choice of law provisions. 
 SECTION 9.13. Severability. 
 In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.14. Interest. 
 In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder or under the Notes exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently made
to any Lender by the Borrower or inadvertently received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify such Lender in writing that it elects to have such excess sum returned
forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may legally be paid by the Borrower under applicable law. 

SECTION 9.15. Interpretation. 
 No provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority
by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured or dictated such provision. 
  

 - 89 - 








 SECTION 9.16. Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures
thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 
 SECTION 9.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

 THE BORROWER, EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES, AND EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (1) IRREVOCABLY

OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (4) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT IN THE MANNER PRESCRIBED IN SECTION 9.01 FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICE TO THE BORROWER. NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED, HOWEVER, SHALL: (I) PREVENT THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM BRINGING ANY ACTION OR EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS AGAINST ANY SECURITY AND AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY PERSONALLY, AND AGAINST ANY ASSETS OF THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY, WITHIN ANY OTHER STATE OR
JURISDICTION; OR (II) AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. 
 SECTION 9.18.
Independence of Covenants. 
 All covenants under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be given independent
effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any covenant (a “Restrictive Covenant”), the fact that such action or condition would be permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise allowed by, another
covenant, shall not prevent a violation of such Restrictive Covenant if such action is taken or such condition exists. 
 SECTION 9.19. Electronic Transactions. 
 The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders agree that the
electronic reporting of the information described in Section 5.01 (the “Required Information”), shall constitute an agreement under the Uniform Electronic Transfer Act (the “Act”), in effect in the Commonwealth of Virginia;

measures at the time of transmission or reply thereto to prevent unauthorized access, misappropriation and use of Required Information by third parties, unless the same shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and

regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any of the Loan Documents, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense based upon any claim any of the Guarantors may have against the
Borrower, any other Guarantor or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, hereunder or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not any of the Guarantors shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation: 
 (a) any amendment or modification of or supplement to any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument referred to herein or therein, or
any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing or acceptance of additional security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (b) any waiver, consent or extension under any Loan Document or any such other instrument, or any indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of, or any extensions or renewals of, any Loan
Document, any such other instrument or any Guaranteed Obligation;

Administrative Agent to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on or available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or any Guarantor, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any
Guarantor;

 (e) any merger or consolidation of the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any
Guarantor or any of the Guarantors into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any of the Guarantors, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor to any Person; 
 (f) any failure on the part of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor for any reason to comply with
or perform any of the terms of any agreement with any of the Guarantors; 
 (g) any exercise or non-exercise by the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents or the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, under this Section; 
 (h) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance or payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (i) any furnishing or acceptance of security, or any release, substitution or exchange thereof, for any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 (j) any failure to give notice to any of the Guarantors of the occurrence of any breach or violation of, or any event of

 (k) any partial
prepayment, or any assignment or transfer, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or 
 (l) any other circumstance (other than
payment in full) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor. 
 The Guarantors covenant that their respective obligations hereunder will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Loan Documents and this Agreement and the final payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law (A) notice of any of the matters referred to in this
Section 10.02, (B) any and all rights which any of the Guarantors may now or hereafter have arising under, and any right to claim a discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder by reason of the failure or refusal by the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party to take any action pursuant to any statute permitting a Guarantor to request that the Administrative Agent or any Lender attempt to collect the Guaranteed Obligations from the Borrower, any
of the Guarantors or any other guarantor (including without limitation any rights under Sections 49-25 or 49-26 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended, or any similar or successor provisions), (C) all notices which may be required by
statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party against the Guarantors, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand of

payment from the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any of the other Guarantors with respect to any Loan Document or this agreement, notice of acceptance of
the Guarantors’ guarantee hereunder and/or notice to the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor, (D) any diligence in collection from or
protection of or realization upon all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor, any liability hereunder, or any party primarily or secondarily liable for all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (E) any
duty or obligation of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party to proceed to collect all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations from, or to commence an action against, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, or
to resort to any security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, despite any notice or request
of any of the Guarantors to do so. 
 SECTION 10.03. Continuing Obligations; Reinstatement. 
 The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article X are continuing obligations and shall continue in full force and effect until
such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations (and any renewals and extensions thereof) shall have been finally paid and satisfied in full. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article X shall continue to be effective or be
automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment made by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor on, under or in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the recipient upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any such Subsidiary, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or
other officer with similar powers with respect to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any such Subsidiary or any substantial part of the property of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any such Subsidiary, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been
made. If an event permitting the acceleration of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at any time have occurred and be continuing, and such acceleration shall at such time be stayed, enjoined or otherwise prevented for any reason,
including without limitation because of the pendency of a case or proceeding relating to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, for purposes of this Article X and
the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder, such Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if such Guaranteed Obligations had been accelerated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan
Documents or of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.04. Additional Security, Etc. 
 The Guarantors authorize the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders without notice to or demand on the Guarantors and without
affecting their liability hereunder, from time to time (a) to obtain additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors; (b) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against, and grant indulgences to, the Borrower, any Subsidiary of
the Borrower or any Guarantor, any other Guarantor or others; and (c) to apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and other obligations consisting of, the
Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors

  

 - 94 - 








 
waive any right to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party to proceed against any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or the Borrower or any of their
Subsidiaries or any other Person or to pursue any other remedy available to the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or any such other Secured Party. 
 SECTION 10.05. Information Concerning the Borrower. 
 The Guarantors assume
all responsibility for being and keeping themselves informed of the financial condition and assets of the Borrower, the other Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Guarantors assume and insure hereunder, and agree that neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty to advise the
Guarantors of information known to the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or any such other Secured Party regarding or in any manner relevant to any of such circumstances or risks. 
 SECTION 10.06. Guarantors’ Subordination. 
 The Guarantors hereby absolutely subordinate, both in right of payment and in time of payment, any present and future indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor to any
or all of the Guarantors to the indebtedness of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary or to the Administrative Agent, Lenders and the other Secured Parties (or any of them); provided, that the Guarantors may receive scheduled payments of
principal, premium (if any) and interest in respect of such present or future indebtedness so long as there is no Default or Event of Default then in existence. 
 SECTION 10.07. Waiver of Subrogation. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, until the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors hereby waive any right of subrogation (under contract, Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) or any other right of indemnity, reimbursement or
contribution and hereby waive any right to enforce any remedy that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Guarantors hereby waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party to secure payment or performance
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party. The waiver contained in this Section shall continue and survive the termination of this Agreement and the final
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 10.08. Enforcement. 
 In the event that the Guarantors shall fail forthwith to pay upon demand of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party
any amounts due pursuant to this Article X or to perform or comply with or to cause performance or compliance with any other obligation of the Guarantors under this Agreement the Administrative Agent, any Lender and any other Secured Party
shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceeding at

  

 - 95 - 








 
law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid or for the performance of or compliance with such terms, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final
decree and may enforce such judgment or final decree against the Guarantors and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Guarantors, wherever situated, any monies adjudged or decreed to be payable. The obligations of the
Guarantors under this Agreement are continuing obligations and a fresh cause of action shall arise in respect of each default hereunder. 
 SECTION 10.09. Miscellaneous. 
 Except as may otherwise be expressly agreed
upon in writing, the liability of the Guarantors under this Article X shall neither affect nor be affected by any prior or subsequent guaranty by the Guarantors of any other indebtedness to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other
Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Article X to the contrary, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no event exceed the maximum amount which could be paid out by such Guarantor without rendering such
Guarantor’s obligations under this Article X, in whole or in part, void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, (i) the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) any applicable state or federal law relative to fraudulent
conveyances. 
 SECTION 10.10. Agreement Superseded Prior Credit Agreement. 
 It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall supersede that certain Credit Agreement dated as of June 19, 2002, as
amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), originally among the Borrower, TREX Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and BB&T. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
acknowledge and agree that, on and after the Closing Date, the Prior Credit Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, other than any provisions thereof which by their express terms are to survive the termination of the Prior Credit
Agreement.

 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the
Borrower herein set forth, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue for the account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, in accordance with Article II and this Article XI, from time to time
during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Termination Date. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Article XI, and from and after the
Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 
  

 - 96 - 








 SECTION 11.02. Types and Amounts. 
 The Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit at any time: 
 (a) if the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Letters of Credit, after giving effect to the issuance of the requested
Letter of Credit, shall exceed any limit imposed by law or regulation upon the Letter of Credit Issuer; 
 (b) if, after giving
effect to the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit, (i) the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed $15,000,000, or (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 2.01(a) would not be satisfied; 
 (c) which has an expiration date after that date which is 30 calendar days prior to the Termination Date. 
 SECTION 11.03. Conditions. 
 In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Article III, the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the
satisfaction in full of the following conditions: 
 (a) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer at
such times and in such manner as the Letter of Credit Issuer may prescribe, a Letter of Credit Application Agreement and such other documents and materials as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof all satisfactory in form and substance to
the Letter of Credit Issuer and the terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Letter of Credit Issuer; 
 (b) as of the date of issuance no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing the Letter of
Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer and no request or directive from any Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from
the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of that Letter of Credit; 
 (c) after the issuance of the requested
Letter of Credit, the conditions set forth in Section 2.01(a) shall be satisfied; and 
 (d) as of the date of issuance no
default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.02(c) exists nor is any Lender at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Letter of Credit
Issuer with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender. 
  

 - 97 - 








 SECTION 11.04. Issuance of Letters of Credit. 
 (a) Request for Issuance. At least three (3) Domestic Business Days before the effective date for any Letter of Credit, the
Borrower shall give the Letter of Credit Issuer a written notice containing the original signature of an authorized officer or employee of the Borrower. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the original face amount of the Letter of
Credit requested, the effective date (which day shall be a Domestic Business Day) of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to expire, the amount of then outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations, the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in single or partial draws and the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. 
 (b) Issuance; Notice of Issuance. If the conditions set forth in Section 11.03 are satisfied, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall
issue the requested Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall give each Lender written or telecopy notice in substantially the form of Exhibit L, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of
a Letter of Credit and shall deliver to each Lender in connection with such notice a copy of the Letter of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer. 
 (c) No Extension or Amendment. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not extend or amend any Letter of Credit if the issuance of a new Letter of Credit having the same terms as such Letter of Credit as
so amended or extended would be prohibited by Section 11.02 or Section 11.03. 
 SECTION 11.05. Reimbursement
Obligations; Duties of the Issuing Lender. 
 (a) Reimbursement. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in
any Letter of Credit Application Agreement: 
 (i) the Borrower shall reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for drawings under a
Letter of Credit issued by it no later than the earlier of (A) the time specified in such Letter of Credit Application Agreement, or (B) one (1) Domestic Business Day after the payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer; 
 (ii) any Reimbursement Obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing under the
pertinent Letter of Credit until the date of payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate; and 
 (iii)
in order to implement the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a draw under any Letter of Credit, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed in accordance with Subsection (i) above, the Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Letter of Credit
Issuer and the Administrative Agent to treat such nonpayment as a Notice of Borrowing in the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation and the Lenders to make Advances to Borrower in such amount regardless of whether the conditions precedent to the
making of Advances hereunder have been met. The Borrower further authorizes the Administrative Agent to credit the proceeds of such Advance so as to immediately eliminate the liability of the Borrower for Reimbursement Obligations under such Letter
of Credit. 
  

 - 98 - 








 (b) Duties of the Letter of Credit Issuer. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by
the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put the Letter of Credit Issuer under any resulting liability to any Lender, or assuming
that the Letter of Credit Issuer has complied with the procedures specified in Section 3.02, relieve that Lender of its obligations hereunder to the Letter of Credit Issuer. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Letter
of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to have been delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

 SECTION 11.06. Participations. 
 (a) Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.04, each Lender shall
be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share of the aggregate
Revolver Commitments, in such Letter of Credit; provided, that a Letter of Credit shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Section 11.06 if the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received written notice from any Lender on or before
the Domestic Business Day immediately prior to the date of the Letter of Credit Issuer’s issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions contained in Section 11.03 or Article III is not then satisfied, and, in the
event the Letter of Credit Issuer receives such a notice, it shall have no further obligation to issue any Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn by that Lender or until the Required Lenders have effectively waived such condition in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (b) Sharing of Letter of Credit Payments. In the event that the
Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit for which the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 11.07 or which cannot be paid by an Advance pursuant to
Subsection (iii) of Section 11.05(a), the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer such Lender’s ratable share of
the amount of such payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds. If the Letter of Credit Issuer so notifies such Lender prior to 11:00 A.M. (Winston-Salem, North Carolina time) on any Domestic Business Day, such Lender shall make available
to the Letter of Credit Issuer its ratable share of the amount of such payment on such Domestic Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its ratable share of the amount of such payment available to the
Letter of Credit Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon at the Base Rate, for each day from the date such payment was first due until the date such amount is
paid to the Letter of Credit Issuer. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Letter of Credit Issuer its ratable share of any such payment shall neither relieve nor increase the obligation of any other Lender hereunder to make available
to the Letter of Credit Issuer its ratable share of any payment on the date such payment is to be made. 
 (c) Sharing of
Reimbursement Obligation Payments. Whenever the Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, as to which the Letter of Credit Issuer has received any payments from the
Lenders

  

 - 99 - 








 
pursuant to this Section 11.06, it shall promptly pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in Dollars and in the kind of funds so received, an amount equal to
such Lender’s ratable share thereof. Each such payment shall be made by the Letter of Credit Issuer on the Domestic Business Day on which the funds are paid to such Person, if received prior to 10:00 A.M. (Winston-Salem, North Carolina time) on
such Domestic Business Day, and otherwise on the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. 
 (d) Documentation. Upon the
request of any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Application Agreement and other documentation relating to Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement.

 (e) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Letter of Credit Issuer with
respect to a Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with, but not subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances (assuming that
the Letter of Credit Issuer has issued such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 11.04 and such Lender has not given a notice contemplated by Section 11.06(a) that continues in full force and effect), including, without limitation,
any of the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a
beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions; 
 (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proves to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

 (v) payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (vi) payment by the Letter of
Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of any draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, except payment resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit
Issuer; or 
 (vii) any other circumstances or happenings whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except
circumstances or happenings resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Issuer. 
  

 - 100 - 








 SECTION 11.07. Payment of Reimbursement Obligations. 
 (a) Payments to Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of all Reimbursement
Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account immediately when due, irrespective of: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a
Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement,
any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions; 
 (iii) any draft, certificate or any
other document presented under the Letter of Credit proves to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

 (v) payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (vi) payment by the Letter of
Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of any draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, except payment resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit
Issuer; or 
 (vii) any other circumstances or happenings whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except
circumstances or happenings resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Issuer. 
 (b)
Recovery or Avoidance of Payments. In the event any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower received by the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit and distributed by the Letter of Credit Issuer to the Lenders on account of
their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender that received such distribution shall, upon demand by the
Letter of Credit Issuer, contribute such Lender’s ratable share of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Letter of Credit Issuer upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

  

 - 101 - 








 SECTION 11.08. Compensation for Letters of Credit. 
 The compensation for Letters of Credit shall be as set forth in Section 2.07. 
 SECTION 11.09. Indemnification; Exoneration. 
 (a) Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article XI, the Borrower shall protect, indemnify, pay and save the Letter of Credit Issuer, the
Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative
Agent, or any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence of the issuance of any Letter of Credit for the Borrower’s account other than as a result of such party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. 
 (b) Assumption of Risk by the Borrower. As between the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Issuer,
the Administrative Agent and Lenders, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance
and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by
any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged, (ii) the validity or sufficiency of
any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason,
(iii) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by
mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher, or for errors in interpretation of technical terms, (v) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under
any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof, (vi) the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (vii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control
of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 
 (c) Exoneration. In furtherance and
extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates if taken or omitted in good
faith and with reasonable care, shall not put the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

 Schedule 4.05 
 Litigation 
  

	1.	On October 16, 2006, Ron Nystrom (“Nystrom”) commenced a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia, Norfolk Division, which also named Home Depot, Inc. and Snavely Forest Products, Inc. as defendants. Nystrom alleges that the Company’s Accents product and other new products introduced after the commencement of a prior patent
infringement action infringe his patent. Nystrom also alleges that the Company’s Contours product infringes a second patent owned by him and that the Company is engaged in contributory infringement by recommending third party hidden fastening
systems that infringe such patent. In January 2008, Nystrom added an additional allegation that the Company’s Trex Hideaway hidden fastening system also infringes such patent. On May 16, 2008, the District Court granted summary judgment to
the Company with respect to Nystrom’s claims on the first patent. On April 29, 2008, the District Court issued an order severing all claims associated with the second patent and consolidating them into a separate case. On
September 25, 2008, the Company commenced a lawsuit against Nystrom in Virginia Circuit Court for various causes of action, including defamation. On September 26, 2008, Nystrom filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit appealing the District Court’s grant of summary judgment to the Company with respect to Nystrom’s claims on the first patent. On October 16, 2008, the Company and Nystrom signed a Dismissal and Tolling
Agreement which provided that the Federal District Court action relating to the second patent and the Company’s action in Virginia Circuit Court would both be dismissed without prejudice pending the decision of the Federal Court of Appeals on
the District Court’s decision relating to the first patent. On September 8, 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court’s grant of summary judgment to the Company. 

  

	2.	On January 19, 2009, a purported class action case was commenced against the Company in the Superior Court of California, Santa Cruz County, by Eric Ross and
Bradley S. Hureth generally alleging certain product defects in the Company’s products, and that the Company has failed to provide adequate remedies for defective products. On February 13, 2009, the Company removed this case to the United
States District Court, Northern District of California (“California District Court”). On January 21, 2009, a purported class action case was commenced against the Company in the United States District Court, Western District of
Washington (“Washington District Court”) by Mark Okano making similar allegations. On April 14, 2009, the Washington District Court transferred the Okano case to the California District Court, and the California District Court
consolidated the Ross/Hureth action and Okano action. 

 On July 30, 2009, the United States District Court
for the Northern District of California granted preliminary approval of a settlement of a class action lawsuit filed on January 19, 2009 by various law firms on behalf of Eric Ross and Bradley Hureth. The Court has set a date for the fairness
hearing on October 30, 2009.

	3.	On August 12, 2009, a purported class action case was commenced against the Company in the Marin County California Superior Court making similar allegations as the
plaintiffs in the Ross/Hureth and Okano actions. The Company believes this case is barred by the settlement of the Ross/Hureth action. 

  

	4.	Both the attorneys representing the Ross/Hureth plaintiffs and the attorneys representing the Okano plaintiffs have threatened to amend their complaints and/or file new
actions with various allegations regarding mold growth on Trex products.
