 (d) Section 2.2 is amended to read as follows: 
 “2.2 Procedure for Revolving Advances Borrowing. 
 (a) Borrowers may notify Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on a Business Day of Borrowers’ request to incur, on
that day, a Revolving Advance hereunder. In the event Borrowers desire a Term Loan, Borrowers shall give Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice. Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees
or other charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation, become due, same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance as of the date such payment is due, in the amount
required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, and such request shall be irrevocable. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event Borrowers desire to obtain a Eurodollar Rate Loan,
Borrowers shall give Agent written notice by no later than 10:00 a.m. on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan is to be borrowed, specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall
be a Business Day), (ii) the type of borrowing and the amount on the date of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000, in excess
thereof, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be for one, two or three months; provided, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end
on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day. No Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made available to Borrowers during the
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default. After giving effect to each requested Eurodollar Rate Loan, including those which are converted from a Domestic Rate Loan under Section 2.2(d), there shall not be outstanding more than six
(6) Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the aggregate. 
 (c) Each Interest Period of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the
date such Eurodollar Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowers may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above provided that the exact length of each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the practice of the
interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term. 
 Borrowers
shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan by their notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(d), as the 

  

 5 









 
case may be. Borrowers shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not later
than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period
elected by Borrowers, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert to a Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(d) hereinbelow. 
 (d) On the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, Borrowers may convert any such loan into
a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan and any
conversion to a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be done if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If Borrowers desire to convert a loan, Borrowers shall give Agent written notice by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time)
(i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (ii) on the day which is one
(1) Business Day prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if
the conversion is from a Domestic Rate Loan to any other type of loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. 
 (e) At their option and upon written notice given prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment, Borrowers may prepay the Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole at any time or
in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Borrowers shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are Eurodollar Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event
that any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrowers shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with
Section 2.2(f) hereof. 
 (f) Borrowers shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and
against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by Borrowers in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan or failure by
Borrowers to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Eurodollar Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in
order to make or maintain its 

  

 6 









 
Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to
Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable
Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (g), the term “Lender” shall include any Lender and
the office or branch where any Lender or any corporation or bank controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder
shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans into
loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent’s request, such
amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lenders for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by Lenders in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion, including (but not limited to) any interest or
other amounts payable by Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by Lenders in order to make or maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowers
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (h) The Borrowers’ obligations and the indemnifications under this
Section 2.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.” 
 (e) Section 2.4(a) is amended to read as
follows: 
 “2.4 Repayment of Advances. 
 (a) The Revolving Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided.
The Term Loans shall be due and payable as provided in Section 2.23(b) hereof and in the Term Note.” 
 (f) The
last sentence of Section 2.7 is amended to read as follows: 
 “2.7 Letters of Credit. 
 All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances and
shall bear 

  

 7 









 
interest at the Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans; Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest.” 
 (g) Sections 2.18(a) and (b) are amended to read as follows: 
 “2.18 Manner of Borrowing and Payment. 
 (a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders. The Term Loans
shall be advanced according to the Commitment Percentage of Lenders. 
 (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by
Borrowers on account of the principal of and interest on the Revolving Advances, shall be applied to the Revolving Advances pro rata according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Each payment (including any prepayment) by Borrowers
on account of the principal of and interest on the Term Note, shall be made from or to, or applied to that portion of the Term Loan evidenced by the Term Note pro rata according to the Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Except as expressly provided
herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on
or prior to 1:00 P.M., New York time, in Dollars and in immediately available funds.” 
 (h) Section 2.22 is
amended by deleting the word “and” in front of clause (H) and by adding the following phrase before the period at the end of clause (H): 
 “and (I) the Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.2 and 2.23(b) if any Eurodollar Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of
the Interest Period relating thereto.” 
 (i) A new Section 2.23 is added to read as follows: 
 “2.23 Term Loans. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender, severally and not jointly, shall, from time to time, make available Advances to Borrowers (each, an “Term Loan” and
collectively, the “Term Loans”) to reimburse Borrowers’ for construction costs incurred in connection with a storm and flood control levee at Borrowers’ Pascagoula facility. All such Term Loans shall be in such amounts as
are requested by Borrowers, but in no event shall any exceed actual construction costs incurred by Borrowers for completed construction work. The total amount of all Term Loans outstanding hereunder shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of
Three Million Dollars 

  

 8 









 
($3,000,000). In no event shall any Lender be required to provide more than its Commitment Percentage of any Term Loan. Once repaid Term Loans may not be
reborrowed. Borrowers shall submit to Agent any documentation that may be required by Agent to support the Advances requested by Borrowers. 
 (b) Advances constituting Term Loans may be made at any time after April 1,
2007 but only after Agent’s receipt of at least a satisfactory draft of Borrowers’ 2006 fiscal year end financial statements from Borrowers’ accountants. No Advances for Term Loans shall be made after December 31, 2007 (the
“Borrowing Period”). At the end of the Borrowing Period the sum of the principal of all Term Loans shall amortize on the basis of a sixty month schedule (such amount, the “Amortization Amount”). Commencing on
January 1, 2008 and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter the Amortization Amount shall be paid with the remaining outstanding
principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest due at the end of the Term. Term Loans shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Term Note”) in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 2.23(b). The Term Loans may consist of Domestic Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrowers may request. In the event that the Borrowers desire to obtain or extend a Eurodollar Rate Loan or to convert
a Domestic Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall comply with the notification requirements set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and (d) and the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) through (h) shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

 (c) Borrowers and Agent acknowledge that if Borrowers obtain a Bond the proceeds will be used to prepay the Term
Loans.” 
 (j) Section 3.1 is amended to read as follows: 
 “3.1 Interest. 
 Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period. Interest charges
shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to with respect to Revolving Advances and the Term Loans, the applicable Interest Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this
Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate is increased or decreased, the Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate during
the time such change or changes remain in effect. The Eurodollar Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage as of such effective
date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required 

  

 9 









 
Lenders, the Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Interest Rate plus two (2%) percent per annum (the “Default
Rate”).” 
 (k) Section 3.5 is amended to read as follows: 
 “3.5 Computation of Interest and Fees. 
 Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any
payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans
during such extension.” 
 (l) Section 3.7(a) is amended to read as follows: 
 “(a) In the event that any change in applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation or in the interpretation or application
thereof, or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch where Agent or any
Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall.” 
 (m) The first sentence of Section 3.8(a) is amended to read as follows: 
 “(a) In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have reasonably determined that any Applicable Law, rule, regulation or guideline
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by
Agent or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.8, the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch where Agent or any Lender (as so defined)
makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on Agent or any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
Agent’s and each Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent or any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to Agent or such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate Agent or such Lender for 

  

 10 









 
such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods.” 
 (n) A new Section 3.12 is added to read as follows: 
 “3.12 Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. 
 In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

 (b) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank Eurodollar market,
with respect to an outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan, 
 then Agent shall give Borrowers prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan,
unless Borrowers shall notify Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of
Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or Eurodollar Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowers shall notify
Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowers shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
affected Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders
shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans and Borrowers shall not have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan
into an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan.” 
 (o) The last sentence of Section 4.2 is amended to read as

for the ratable benefit of Lenders immediately upon demand.” 
 (p) Section 4.12 is amended to read as follows:

 “4.12 Failure to Pay Insurance. 
 If Borrowers fail to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Agent, if Agent so elects, may obtain such
insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of Borrowers, and charge Borrowers’ Account therefor as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and such expenses so paid shall be part of the Obligations.” 
 (q) The last sentence of Section 4.19(f) is amended to read as follows: 
 “All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders (or such third parties) in the exercise of any such rights,
including any sums paid in connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or proceedings, fines and penalties, together with interest thereon from the date expended at the Default Rate for Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving
Advances shall be paid upon demand by Borrowers, and until paid shall be added to and become a part of the Obligations secured by the Liens created by the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between Agent, any Lender and any
Borrower.”

excess of $5,000,000. For fiscal year 2007 only, Capital Expenditures for purposes of the calculation of this covenant shall not include Capital Expenditures (i) recorded on Borrowers’ books as the result of “involuntary
conversion” income (income generally consisting of the difference between the cost of repair or replacement of damaged assets and the historical carrying value of such assets) and (ii) costs related to the construction of Borrowers’
levee in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the Term Loans.” 
 (s) Section 10.14 is amended to read
as follows: 
 “10.14. the operations of any Borrower’s manufacturing facility are interrupted at any time for a
continuous period of time of more than forty-five (45) days (other than for scheduled interruptions for maintenance for two weeks twice a year) (an “Interruption Event”), unless such Borrower shall (i) be entitled 

  

 12 









 
to receive proceeds of business interruption insurance coverage for such period of interruption after the deductible period as provided in such
Borrower’s insurance policy in an amount at least equal to its average per diem cash, exclusive of variable production costs and expenses of the type not incurred during such period of interruption, for the consecutive three month period
immediately preceding the initial date of interruption and (ii) begin receiving insurance proceeds (advances) from or on behalf of the insurance carriers in an amount at least equal to the amount described in clause (i) preceding not later
than forty-five (45) days following the initial date of any such interruption; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) of this section, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred if the
Interruption Event exists for more than one hundred five (105) consecutive days. An Event of Default shall also be deemed to exist (i) if the applicable Borrower does not have business interruption insurance coverage at any time following
an Interruption Event or (ii) if the applicable Borrower ceases receiving business interruption insurance proceeds at any time following an Interruption Event, except that this clause (ii) shall not be an Event of Default if the business
interruption insurance proceeds cease and such Borrower’s manufacturing facility has returned to full operation.” 
 (t) Section 13.1 is amended to read as follows: 
 “13.1 Term. 
 This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of each
Borrower, Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until March 31, 2011 (the “Term”) unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Borrowers may terminate this
Agreement at any time upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of the Obligations. In the event this Agreement is terminated in full prior to the last day of the Term (the date of such prepayment hereinafter
referred to as the “Early Termination Date”), Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders an early termination fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and 0.50% of the outstanding and unpaid
