This Loan Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into January 4, 2007, by and between Bank and

This Agreement applies to the loan (individually and collectively, the “Loan”) evidenced by that
certain Promissory Note dated of even date herewith made by Borrower to the Bank in the original
principal amount of $7,650,000.00 (as the same may be amended, modified, extended or increased from

used in this Agreement, are defined in the Note.



Relying upon the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement,
Bank is willing to extend credit to Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein, and Bank and Borrower agree as follows:



REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower represents that from the date of this Agreement and until final payment
in full of the Obligations: Accurate Information. All information now and hereafter furnished to
Bank is and will be true, correct and complete in all material respects. Any such information
relating to Borrower’s financial condition will accurately reflect Borrower’s financial condition
as of the date(s) thereof, (including all contingent liabilities of every type), and Borrower
further represents that its financial condition has not changed materially or adversely since the
date(s) of such documents. Authorization; Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by Borrower and any guarantor, as applicable, of this Agreement and other Loan
Documents to which it is a party are within its power, have been duly authorized as may be required
and, if necessary, by making appropriate filings with any governmental agency or unit and are the
legal, binding, valid and enforceable obligations of Borrower and any guarantors; and do not (i)
contravene, or constitute (with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both) a
violation of any provision of applicable law, a violation of the organizational documents of
Borrower or any guarantor, or a default under any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or
other instrument binding upon or affecting Borrower or any guarantor, (ii) result in the creation
or imposition of any lien (other than the lien(s) created by the Loan Documents) on any of
Borrower’s or any guarantor’s assets, or (iii) give cause for the acceleration of any obligations
of Borrower or any guarantor to any other creditor. Asset Ownership. Borrower has good and
marketable title to all of the properties and assets reflected on the balance sheets and financial
statements supplied Bank by Borrower, and all such properties and assets are free and clear of
mortgages, security deeds, pledges, liens, charges, and all other encumbrances, except as otherwise
disclosed to Bank by Borrower in writing and approved by Bank, including without limitation, those
liens arising under that certain First Lien Credit Agreement (as the same may be amended, modified,
extended or replaced from time to time, the “Senior Credit Facility”) among Guarantor, as borrower,
MERRILL LYNCH, PIERCE FENNER & SMITH, INCORPORATED, as syndication agent, Bank, as documentation
agent, LEHMAN COMMERCIAL PAPER INC., as administrative agent and other lenders, as lenders, dated
as of June 10, 2005 (as same may be amended or modified from time to time), which liens include,
without limitation, the pledge of all of the stock of Borrower and the lien against Borrower’s
personal property (“Permitted Liens”). To Borrower’s knowledge, no default has occurred under any
Permitted Liens and no claims or interests adverse to



 









 







Borrower’s present rights in its properties and assets have arisen. Discharge of Liens and Taxes.
Borrower has duly filed, paid and/or discharged all taxes or other claims that may become a lien on
any of its property or assets, except to the extent that such items are being appropriately
contested in good faith and an adequate reserve for the payment thereof is being maintained.
Sufficiency of Capital. Borrower is not, and after consummation of this Agreement and after giving
effect to all indebtedness incurred and liens created by Borrower in connection with the Note and
any other Loan Documents, will not be, insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 101, as in
effect from time to time. Compliance with Laws. Borrower and any subsidiary of Borrower and any
guarantor are in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws, rules
and regulations applicable to its properties, operations, business, and finances, including,
without limitation, any federal or state laws relating to liquor (including 18 U.S.C. § 3617, et
seq.) or narcotics (including 21 U.S.C. § 801, et seq.) and/or any commercial crimes; all
applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations intended to protect the environment; and
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), if applicable. None of
Borrower, or any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower or any guarantor is a Sanctioned Person or has
any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or does business in or with, or derives any of its
operating income from investments in or transactions with, Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned
Countries in violation of economic sanctions administered by OFAC. The proceeds from the Loan will
not be used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any
payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country. “OFAC” means the U.S. Department of the
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. “Sanctioned Country” means a country subject to a

sanctions program administered by OFAC. Organization and Authority. Borrower is duly created,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, and has all
powers, governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to operate its
business as now conducted. Borrower is duly qualified, licensed and in good standing in each
jurisdiction where qualification or licensing is required by the nature of its business or the
character and location of its property, business or customers, and in which the failure to so
qualify or be licensed, as the case may be, in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect
on the business, financial position, results of operations, properties or prospects of Borrower or
any such guarantor. No Litigation. There are no pending suits, claims or demands against Borrower
or any guarantor, which could materially affect any guarantor’s ability to fully repay the Loan,
that have not been disclosed to Bank by Borrower in writing, and approved by Bank. To the best of
Borrower’s knowledge, there are no threatened suits, claims or demands, which could materially
affect the Borrower’s or any guarantor’s ability to fully repay the Loan, against Borrower or any
guarantor that have not been disclosed to Bank by Borrower in writing, and approved by Bank.

Transaction” or “Reportable Event” (as both terms are defined by ERISA) has occurred with respect
to any such plan. Indemnity. Borrower will indemnify Bank and its affiliates from and against any
losses, liabilities, claims, damages, penalties or fines imposed upon, asserted or assessed against
or incurred by Bank arising out of the inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations contained

of the Obligations, unless Bank shall otherwise consent in writing, Borrower will: Access to Books
