Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual,
irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern. 
  
 2.5 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations owed by Borrowers to Lender pursuant to Sections 2.1
and 2.12 is greater than either the Dollar or percentage limitations set forth in Sections 2.1 or 2.12, (an “Overadvance”), Borrowers immediately shall pay to Lender, in cash, the amount of such excess, which
amount shall be used by Lender to reduce the Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b). In addition, Borrowers hereby promise to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in

increased to 4 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder. 
  
 (d) Payment. Interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month at any time that Obligations or obligation to extend

determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and Lender, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall be liable
only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

 2.8 Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by
Lender shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to the Lender’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment.

 24 

 
payment item shall be deemed received by Lender only if it is received into the Lender’s Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. (California

Undertaking), Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by Lender) to Lender and Lender (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance,

the Maximum Revolver Amount less the then extant amount of outstanding Advances.

corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender (in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion), including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Lender is
obligated to advance funds under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall immediately reimburse such L/C Disbursement to Lender by paying to Lender an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the date that such
L/C Disbursement is made, if Administrative Borrower shall have received written or telephonic notice of such L/C 
  

 26

such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the (i) Business Day that Administrative Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on the date of receipt, and, in the absence of
such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, thereafter, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances under Section 2.6. To the extent an L/C
Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance. 
  
 (c) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold Lender harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or
liability, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Lender arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or
liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by Lender’s interpretations
of any L/C issued by Lender to or for such Borrower’s account, even though this interpretation may be different from such Borrower’s own, and each Borrower understands and agrees that Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence,
or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowers’ instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may
require Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold Lender harmless with respect to
any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by Lender under any L/C Undertaking as a result of Lender’s indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall
be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. 
  
 (d) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property
received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related
application. 
  
 (e) Any and all charges, commissions, fees, and
costs incurred by Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately shall be reimbursable by Borrowers to Lender for the account of Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by
each Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .850% per annum times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance charge may be changed from time to time,
and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals. 
  
 (f) If by reason of (i) any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any
Governmental Authority, or (ii) 
  

 27 

 
compliance by the Underlying Issuer or Lender with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any
Governmental Authority or monetary authority: 
  
 (i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or 
  
 (ii) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or Lender any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter
of Credit issued pursuant hereto; 
  
 and the result of the foregoing is to
increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to Lender of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by Lender, then, and in any such case, Lender may, at any time within a
reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Administrative Borrower, and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as Lender may specify to be necessary to compensate Lender for such additional
cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. The determination by Lender of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as
set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto. 
  
 2.13 Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit. If on the
date five (5) Business Days prior to the Second Anniversary Date, the aggregate amount of all Advances and Letters of Credit exceeds $10,000,000, Borrowers agree and hereby authorize Lender to make an Advance in a principal amount equal to the face
amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding in order to cash collateralize all such Letters of Credit, unless on or before such date Borrowers deliver to Lender a written acknowledgement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, duly
executed by the Indenture Trustee acknowledging and agreeing that the face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the Second Anniversary Date shall be included in calculating Maximum Credit Facility Amount (as defined in the Indenture).

  
 2.14 Capital Requirements. If, after the date
hereof, Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental
Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request, or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), will
have the effect of reducing the return on Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such
adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by
Lender to be material, then Lender may notify Administrative Borrower thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined,
payable within 90 days after presentation by Lender of a 
  

 28 

 
statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based
(which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
  
 2.15 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers. 
  
 (a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Lender under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other
Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. 
  
 (b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of
all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.15), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Person composing
Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them. 
  
 (c)
If and to the extent that any of Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Persons
composing Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. 
  
 (d) The Obligations of each Person composing Borrowers under the provisions of this Section 2.15 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Person composing Borrowers
enforceable against each such Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever. 
  
 (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Person
composing Borrowers hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Advances or Letters of Credit issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any
demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Person composing Borrowers hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or
postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Lender at any time or
times in respect of any default by any Person composing Borrowers in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Lender in respect of any of the
Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in 
  

 29 

 
whole or in part, of any Person composing Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in
acting or failure to act on the part of Lender with respect to the failure by any Person composing Borrowers to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or
to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.15 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Person composing Borrowers, in whole
or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.15, it being the intention of each Person composing Borrowers that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Person composing
Borrowers under this Section 2.15 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Person composing Borrowers under this Section 2.15 shall not be diminished or
rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Person composing Borrowers or Lender. The joint and several liability of the Persons composing Borrowers
hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, constitution or place of formation of any of the Persons composing Borrowers or Lender. 
  
 (f) Each Person composing Borrowers represents and warrants to Lender that
such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Person composing Borrowers further
represents and warrants to Lender that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Person composing Borrowers hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers’
financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations. 
  
 (g) The provisions of this Section 2.15 are made for the benefit of Lender and its respective successors and assigns,
and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all of the Persons composing Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of Lender, successor, or assign first to marshal any of its or
their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Persons composing Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the other Persons composing Borrowers or to resort to any other source or
means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.15 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If
at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Persons composing Borrowers,
or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.15 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made. 
  
 (h) Each of the Persons composing Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other
Persons composing Borrowers with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to Lender with respect to any of the Obligations or any 
  

 30 

 
collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any
other Borrower with respect to any payments to Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or
thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower,
its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower
therefor. 
  
 (i) Each of the Persons composing Borrowers hereby
agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment
in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any
other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts
shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Lender, and such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to Lender for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(b).

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender is under no obligation

 33 

 3.2 Conditions Subsequent to Initial Extension of Credit. The obligation of Lender to
continue to make Advances (or otherwise extend credit hereunder) is subject to the fulfillment, on or before the date applicable thereto, of each of the conditions subsequent set forth below (the failure by Borrowers to so perform or cause to be
performed constituting an Event of Default): 
  
 (a) within 180
days of the Closing Date, deliver to Lender certified copies of the policies of insurance, together with the endorsements thereto, as are required by Section 6.8, the form and substance of which shall be satisfactory to Lender and its
counsel; and 
  
 (b) within 120 days of the Closing Date, deliver
to Lender a duly executed Collateral Access Agreement with respect to the temporary operations office at 1305 Diesi Street, Opelousas, Louisiana; provided, however, that the failure of Borrowers to deliver such agreement shall not
constitute an Event of Default hereunder so long as Borrowers have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such agreement by the date required. 
  
 3.3 Conditions Precedent to all Extensions of Credit. The obligation of Lender to make any Advances (or to extend any other credit
hereunder) shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: 
  
 (a) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on and as of such date
(except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date); 
  
 (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either result from the making
thereof; 
  
 (c) no injunction, writ, restraining order, or other
order of any nature prohibiting, directly or indirectly, the extending of such credit shall have been issued and remain in force by any Governmental Authority against any Borrower, Lender, or any of their Affiliates; and 
  
 (d) no Material Adverse Change shall have occurred. 
  
 3.4 Term. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
execution and delivery hereof by Borrowers and Lender and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on June 24, 2006 (the “Maturity Date”). The foregoing notwithstanding, Lender shall have the right to terminate its
obligations under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. 
  
 3.5 Effect of Termination. On the date of termination of this Agreement, all Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations of
Borrowers with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit) immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand (including either (a) providing cash collateral to be held by Lender in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter
of Credit Usage, or (b) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to Lender). No termination of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Borrowers of their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder and the Lender’s
Liens in the Collateral shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and 
  

 34 

 
Lender’s obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have been terminated. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations
have been fully and finally discharged and Lender’s obligations to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, Lender will, at Borrowers’ sole expense, execute and deliver any UCC termination
statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of
record, the Lender’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by Lender with respect to the Obligations. 
  
 3.6 Early Termination by Borrowers. Borrowers have the option, at any time upon 90 days prior written notice by Administrative Borrower to
Lender, to terminate this Agreement by paying to Lender, in cash, the Obligations (including either (a) providing cash collateral to be held by Lender in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (b) causing the original
Letters of Credit to be returned to Lender), in full, together with the Applicable Prepayment Premium. If Administrative Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to the provisions of this Section, then Lender’s obligations to extend
credit hereunder shall terminate and Borrowers shall be obligated to repay the Obligations (including either (a) providing cash collateral to be held by Lender in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (b) causing the
original Letters of Credit to be returned to Lender), in full, together with the Applicable Prepayment Premium, on the date set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in such notice. In the event of the termination of this Agreement and
repayment of the Obligations at any time prior to the Maturity Date, for any other reason, including (A) termination upon the election of Lender to terminate after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (B) foreclosure and sale of Collateral, (C)
sale of the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, or (D) restructure, reorganization or compromise of the Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization, or any other plan of compromise, restructure, or arrangement in any Insolvency
Proceeding, then, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to Lender or profits lost by Lender as a result of such early termination, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a
reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of Lender, Borrowers shall pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium to Lender, measured as of the date of such termination. 
  
 4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. 
  

 35 

 4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security
interest in all of its right, title, and interest in all currently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Personal Property Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all of the Obligations in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrowers of each of their covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. The Lender’s Liens in and to the Personal Property Collateral shall attach to all Personal
Property Collateral without further act on the part of Lender or Borrowers. Anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, except for Permitted Dispositions, Borrowers have no authority, express or
implied, to dispose of any item or portion of the Collateral. 
  
 4.2 Negotiable Collateral. In the event that any Collateral, including proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral, and if and to the extent that perfection of priority of Lender’s security interest is
dependent on or enhanced by possession, the applicable Borrower, immediately upon the request of Lender, shall endorse and deliver physical possession of such Negotiable Collateral to Lender. 
  
 4.3 Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles, and Negotiable
Collateral. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender or Lender’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of Borrowers that the Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles have been
assigned to Lender or that Lender has a security interest therein, or (b) collect the Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly and charge the collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account. Each Borrower agrees that it will hold
in trust for Lender, as Lender’s trustee, any Collections that it receives and immediately will deliver said Collections to Lender in their original form as received by the applicable Borrower. 
  
 4.4 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. At any time
upon the request of Lender, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender, any and all financing statements, original financing statements in lieu of continuation statements, fixture filings, security agreements, pledges, assignments, endorsements
of certificates of title, and all other documents (the “Additional Documents”) that Lender may request in its Permitted Discretion, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, to perfect and continue perfected or better perfect
the Lender’s Liens in the Collateral (whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired), to create and perfect Liens in favor of Lender in any Real Property acquired after the Closing Date, and in order to fully consummate all of the
transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Loan Documents. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower authorizes Lender to execute any such Additional Documents in the applicable Borrower’s name and authorize
Lender to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. In addition, on such periodic basis as Lender shall require, Borrowers shall (a) provide Lender with a report of all new patentable, copyrightable, or trademarkable
materials acquired or generated by Borrowers during the prior period, (b) cause all patents, copyrights, and trademarks acquired or generated by Borrowers that are not already the subject of a registration with the appropriate filing office (or an
application therefor diligently prosecuted) to be registered with such appropriate filing office in a manner sufficient to impart constructive notice of Borrowers’ ownership thereof, and (c) cause to be prepared, executed, and delivered to
Lender supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents to identify such patents, copyrights, and trademarks as being subject to the security interests created thereunder. 
  

 36 

 4.5 Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and appoints
Lender (and any of Lender’s officers, employees, or agents designated by Lender) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney, with power to (a) if such Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to execute and deliver any of the documents
described in Section 4.4, sign the name of such Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.4, (b) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill
of lading relating to the Collateral, drafts against Account Debtors, or notices to Account Debtors, (c) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing send requests for verification of Accounts, (d) at any time that an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing endorse such Borrower’s name on any Collection item that may come into Lender’s possession, (e) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make, settle, and adjust all claims
under such Borrower’s policies of insurance and make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, and (f) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, settle and adjust disputes and claims
respecting the Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and upon terms that Lender determines to be reasonable, and Lender may cause to be executed and delivered any documents and releases that
Lender determines to be necessary. The appointment of Lender as each Borrower’s attorney, and each and every one of its rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully and finally
repaid and performed and Lender’s obligations to extend credit hereunder are terminated. 
  
 4.6 Right to Inspect. Lender (through any of its respective officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, from time to time and during normal business hours hereafter to inspect the Books and to
check, test, and appraise the Collateral, operations and assets of Borrowers in order to verify Borrowers’ financial condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral or to conduct an
Enterprise Valuation. 
  
 4.7 Control Agreements.
Except with respect to any Securities Account constituting an Excluded Asset, each Borrower agrees that it will not transfer assets out of any Securities Accounts other than as permitted under Section 7.19 and, if to another securities intermediary,
unless each of the applicable Borrower, Lender, and the substitute securities intermediary have entered into a Control Agreement. Except with respect to any Securities Account constituting an Excluded Asset, no arrangement contemplated hereby or by
any Control Agreement in respect of any Securities Accounts or other Investment Property shall be modified by Borrowers without the prior written consent of Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default,
Lender may notify any securities intermediary to liquidate the applicable Securities Account or any related Investment Property maintained or held thereby and remit the proceeds thereof to the Lender’s Account, except with respect to any
Securities Account constituting an Excluded Asset.

Parent’s Stock on taxable income earned by Parent and attributable to such holders as a result of Parent’s earnings for federal and state (for the state or states in which any holder is liable for income taxes with respect to such income)
income tax purposes, after taking into account any deduction for state income taxes in calculating the federal income tax liability and all other deductions, credits, deferrals and other reductions available to the holders from or through Parent,
(b) Borrowers may make distributions to their respective shareholders in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,250,000 during the term of this Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist on the date of such distribution, and (c)

indirectly enter into or permit to exist any transaction with any Affiliate of any Borrower except (a) for transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrowers’ business, upon fair and reasonable terms, that are fully disclosed to Lender,

 8.9. If there is a default under any Indebtedness of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000 and such default (a) occurs at the final maturity of the obligations thereunder, or (b) results in a right by the
other party thereto, irrespective of whether exercised, to accelerate the maturity of the applicable Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations thereunder, to terminate such agreement, or to refuse to renew such agreement pursuant to an

 9. THE LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 
  
 9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence, and during the
continuation, of an Event of Default, Lender (at its election but without notice of its election and without demand) may do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrowers: 
  
 (a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of
the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable; 
  
 (b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents, or under any other agreement between Borrowers and Lender; 
  
 (c) Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents as to any
future liability or obligation of Lender, but without affecting any of the Lender’s Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the Obligations; 
  
 (d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Lender considers advisable, and in such cases,
Lender will credit the Loan Account with only the net amounts received by Lender in payment of such disputed Accounts after deducting all Lender Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith; 
  
 (e) Cause Borrowers to hold all returned Inventory in trust for Lender,
segregate all returned Inventory from all other assets of Borrowers or in Borrowers’ possession and conspicuously label said returned Inventory as the property of Lender; 
  

 57 

 (f) Without notice to or demand upon any Borrower, make such payments and do such acts as Lender
considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interests in the Collateral. Each Borrower agrees to assemble the Personal Property Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make the Personal Property Collateral available to Lender at a
place that Lender may designate which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Each Borrower authorizes Lender to enter the premises where the Personal Property Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Personal Property
Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien that in Lender’s determination appears to conflict with the Lender’s Liens and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith and to charge
Borrowers’ Loan Account therefor. With respect to any of Borrowers’ owned or leased premises, each Borrower hereby grants Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to
exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; 
  
 (g) Without notice to any Borrower (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting a retention of any collateral in satisfaction of an
obligation (within the meaning of the Code), set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower held by Lender, or (ii) Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower held
by Lender; 
  
 (h) Hold, as cash collateral, any and all balances
and deposits of any Borrower held by Lender to secure the full and final repayment of all of the Obligations; 
  
 (i) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the
Personal Property Collateral. Each Borrower hereby grants to Lender a license or other right to use, without charge, such Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or
any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Personal Property Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Personal Property Collateral and such Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all
franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit; 
  
 (j)
Sell the Personal Property Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrowers’ premises) as Lender determines is
commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Personal Property Collateral be present at any such sale; 
  
 (k) Lender shall give notice of the disposition of the Personal Property Collateral as follows: 
  
 (i) Lender shall give Administrative Borrower (for the
benefit of the applicable Borrower) a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Personal Property Collateral, then the time on or
after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; and 
  

 58 

 (ii) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to
Administrative Borrower as provided in Section 12, at least 10 days before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the notice; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Personal Property Collateral that
is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market; 
  
 (l) Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; 
  
 (m) Lender may seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral or to operate same and, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing; 
  
 (n) Lender shall have all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity or pursuant to any other Loan Documents; 
  
 (o) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Personal Property
Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrowers. Any excess will be returned, without interest and subject to the rights of third Persons, by Lender to Administrative Borrower (for the benefit of the applicable Borrower); and

  
 (p) In the event Lender elects to commence foreclosure
proceeding under Louisiana law, Lender may cause such Personal Property Collateral, or any part or parts thereof, to be immediately seized and sold, whether in term of court or in vacation, under ordinary or executory process, in accordance with
applicable Louisiana law, to the highest bidder for cash, with or without appraisement, and without the necessity of making additional demand upon or notifying the Borrowers or any Person or placing the Borrowers or any Person in default, all of
which are expressly waived. For purposes of foreclosure under Louisiana executory process procedures, each Borrower confesses judgment and acknowledges to be indebted unto and in favor of Lender up to the full amount of the Obligations, in
principal, interest, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees and other fees and charges. To the extent permitted under applicable Louisiana law, each Borrower additionally waives: (a) the benefit of appraisal as provided in Articles 2332, 2336, 2723
and 2724 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, and all other laws with regard to appraisal upon judicial sale; (b) the demand and three (3) days’ delay as provided under Articles 2639 and 2721 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; (c)
the notice of seizure as provided under Articles 2293 and 2721 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; (d) the three (3) days’ delay provided under Articles 2331 and 2722 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; and (e) all other benefits
provided under Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure and all other articles not specifically mentioned above. Should it become necessary for Lender to foreclose under this Agreement, all declarations of fact, which
are made under an authentic act before a Notary Public in the presence of two witnesses, by a Person declaring such facts to lie within his or her knowledge, shall constitute authentic evidence for purposes of executory process and also for purposes
of La. R.S. 9:3509.1, La. R.S. 9:3504(D)(6) and La. R.S. 10:9-629, as applicable. In addition to the foregoing rights and remedies, Lender may elect to effect the seizure and disposition of the Personal Property Collateral pursuant to any procedures
as may be authorized by Louisiana law from time to time. 
  

 59 

 9.2 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an
election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. 
  
 10. TAXES AND EXPENSES. 
  
 If any Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or other
amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement, then, Lender, in its sole discretion and without prior
notice to any Borrower, may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof, (b) set up such reserves in Borrowers’ Loan Account as Lender deems necessary to protect Lender from the exposure created by such
failure, or (c) in the case of the failure to comply with Section 6.8 hereof, obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described in Section 6.8 and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender deems prudent. Any
such amounts paid by Lender shall constitute Lender Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Lender need not
inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing. 
  
 11. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION. 
  
 11.1 Demand; Protest. Each Borrower waives demand, protest,
notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Lender on
which any such Borrower may in any way be liable. 
  
 11.2
Lender’s Liability for Collateral. Each Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as Lender complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, Lender shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping
of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other
Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers. 
  
 11.3 Indemnification. Each Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Lender-Related Persons, each Participant, and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations,
proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and when they are 
  

 60 

 
incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a
result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (b) with respect to any investigation,
litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or
circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this
Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrowers were required to indemnify the Indemnified
Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH
RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON. 
  
 12. NOTICES. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by Borrowers or Lender to the other relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid,
return receipt requested), overnight courier, electronic mail (at such email addresses as the Administrative Borrower or Lender, as applicable, may designate to each other in accordance herewith), or telefacsimile to Borrowers in care of
Administrative Borrower or to Lender, as the case may be, at its address set forth below:

 14. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS. 
  
 14.1 Assignments and Participations. 
  
 (a) Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Obligations and the other rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents; provided, however, that Borrowers 
  

 63 

 
may continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment,
together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Administrative Borrower by Lender and the Assignee an appropriate assignment and acceptance agreement. Anything contained herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender agrees for the benefit of Borrowers that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall (x) retain more than fifty percent (50%) of the Obligations and commitment to make Advances
under Section 2.1 of this Agreement, and (y) not assign any ratable part of the Obligations and commitment to make Advances under Section 2.1 of this Agreement to more than three Assignees at any given time, provided, however, that,
the minimum retention of Obligations and commitment to make Advances and the restriction on the number of Assignees shall not be applicable if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of
all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of Lender. 
  
 (b) From and after the date that Lender provides Administrative Borrower with such written notice and executed assignment and acceptance agreement, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment and acceptance agreement, shall have the assigned and delegated rights and obligations of Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) Lender shall, to
the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned and delegated by it pursuant to such assignment and acceptance agreement, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 11.3
hereof) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an assignment and acceptance agreement covering all or the remaining portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall affect a novation between Borrowers and the Assignee. 
  
 (c) Immediately upon Borrower’s receipt of such fully executed assignment and acceptance agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to
the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the rights and duties of Lender arising therefrom. 
  
 (d) Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of
Lender (a “Participant”) participating interests in Obligations and the other rights and interests of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) Lender shall remain the
“Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations and the other rights and interests of Lender hereunder shall not constitute a
“Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers and Lender
shall continue to deal solely and directly with each other in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) Lender shall not transfer or grant any participating interest under which the
Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other
Loan 
  

 64 

 
Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate
applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or a material portion of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the
Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through Lender, or (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal
repayments or prepayments or premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have
been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through Lender and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to Borrowers, the Collections, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by Lender. 

 
 (e) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation, a Lender may disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrowers or Borrowers’ business. 
  
 (f) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge,
all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may
enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. 
  

 65 

 14.2 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrowers may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be
absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by Lender shall release any Borrower from its Obligations. Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to
Section 14.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, no consent or approval by any Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment. 
  
 15. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. 
  
 15.1 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all
Borrowers) and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which was given. 
  
 15.2 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or delay by Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Lender on any occasion shall affect
or diminish Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement. Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right
or remedy that Lender may have. 
  
 16. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
  
 16.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed
effective when executed by Borrowers and Lender. 
  
 16.2
Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement. 
  
 16.3 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty
or ambiguity herein shall be construed against Lender or Borrowers, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the
ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto. 
  
 16.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the
purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 
  
 16.5 Withholding Taxes. All payments made by Borrowers hereunder or under any note will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense, except as required by applicable law other than for Taxes
(as defined below). All such payments will be made free and 
  

 66 

 
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever
nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction (other than the United States) or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than of the United States) with respect to such payments (but excluding, any tax imposed
by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (i) measured by or based on the net income or net profits of Lender, or (ii) to the extent that such tax results from a change in the circumstances of Lender,
including a change in the residence, place of organization, or principal place of business of Lender, or a change in the branch or lending office of Lender participating in the transactions set forth herein) and all interest, penalties or similar
liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, each Borrower agrees to
pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any note, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16.5 after withholding or
deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to Lender if the increase in such amount
payable results from Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence. Borrowers will furnish to Lender as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts
evidencing such payment by Borrowers. 
  
 16.6 Amendments in
Writing. This Agreement only can be amended by a writing signed by Lender and each of Borrowers. 
  
 16.7 Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on
separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of
this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

  
 16.8 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations.
If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by any Borrower or the transfer to Lender of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights,
including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if Lender is
required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that Lender is required or elects to repay or
restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of Lender related thereto, the liability of Borrowers automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been
made. 
  

 67 

 16.9 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the
entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. 
  
 16.10 Parent as Agent for Borrowers. 
  
 Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as the borrowing agent and
attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Lender shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such
appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide Lender with all notices with respect to Advances
and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Advances and Letters of
Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set
forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender shall not incur liability to any
Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the
continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce Lender to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify Lender harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim
of damage or injury, made against Lender by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, (b) Lender’s relying on any
instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that Borrowers will have no liability to any Lender-Related Person under this Section 16.10 with respect
to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender-Related Person.

 Exhibit 10.6 
  
 STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), entered into as of the 24th day of June, 2003, by and among each of the entities, listed
on the signature pages hereof as pledgors (each a “Pledgor” and collectively, the “Pledgors”), together with any additional entity that hereafter becomes a pledgor hereto by executing the form of Supplement attached
hereto as Annex 2, and WELLS FARGO FOOTHILL, INC., a California corporation, as lender (the “Lender”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among The Evangeline Downs, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company (“Parent”), The Old Evangeline Downs Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“OED
Capital”), and each of Parent’s other wholly-owned subsidiaries identified on the signature page thereof, as borrowers (such subsidiaries, together with Parent and OED Capital, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a
“Borrower” and collectively, as the “Borrowers”), and the Lender, the Lender has agreed to make certain loan and other financial accommodations to the Borrowers from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions
thereof; and 
  
 WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the
extension of credit under the Loan Agreement that the Pledgors shall have granted the security interest contemplated by this Agreement; and 
  
 WHEREAS, to secure the full and prompt payment or performance (as applicable) of all covenants, agreements and liabilities of the Borrowers under the Loan
Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and all now existing or hereafter arising Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement) (including, without limitation, any interest, fees and other charges in respect of the Loan Agreement and the other
Loan Documents that would accrue but for the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding (as defined in the Loan Agreement) with respect to any Borrower, regardless of whether such claim is allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding), and the obligations of the
Pledgors arising from this Agreement, each Pledgor has agreed to pledge to the Lender the Stock (as defined in the Loan Agreement) owned by such Pledgor (collectively, the “Pledged Interests”) in each of the entities listed on
Schedule 1 attached hereto (collectively, the “Pledged Companies” and, individually, each a “Pledged Company”); 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement, and further agree as follows: 
  
 1. Warranty. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the
Lender that (i) except for the security interest created hereby and in the other Loan Documents, and except for the security interest created pursuant to the Senior Note Documents in favor of the Indenture 

 Trustee and subordinated to the security interest created hereunder pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, such Pledgor
owns the Pledged Interests indicated on Schedule 1 as being owned by it, which Pledged Interests constitute the percentage of the issued and outstanding Stock set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto with respect to each of the Pledged
Companies identified thereon, free and clear of all Liens other than subordinated Liens in favor of the Indenture Trustee securing the Senior Note Documents; (ii) all of the Pledged Interests are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, if applicable; (iii) such Pledgor has the unencumbered right and power to pledge the Pledged Collateral (as defined below); and (iv) all actions necessary to perfect, establish the first priority of, or otherwise protect the security
interest of the Lender in the Pledged Collateral, and any proceeds thereof, have been duly taken, except for the taking of possession by the Lender of any certificates constituting Pledged Collateral hereunder that are acquired by such Pledgor after
the date hereof. Additionally, each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Pledgor and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles, or by an Insolvency Proceeding. 
  
 2. Security Interest. As security for the full and prompt payment and performance of the Obligations now or hereafter existing, each Pledgor hereby
unconditionally pledges, transfers, conveys, hypothecates, grants and assigns to the Lender a continuing security interest in and security title to all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Pledgor or in which
such Pledgor now has, or may acquire in the future, any right, title or interest thereto (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”): 
  
 (a) the Pledged Interests and all substitutions therefor and replacements thereof, all proceeds and products thereof and all rights
relating thereto, including, without limitation, the certificates representing any of the Pledged Interests, all warrants, options, share appreciation rights and other rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect thereof and all dividends, cash,
instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in addition to, in substitution of, on account of, or in exchange for, any or all of the Pledged Interests, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired by such Pledgor; 
  
 (b) all
of such Pledgor’s rights, powers and remedies (but not such Pledgor’s obligations) under the limited liability company operating agreements of the Pledged Companies that are limited liability companies (collectively, the “Operating
Agreements”) and under the partnership agreements of the Pledged Companies that are general or limited partnerships (collectively, the “Partnership Agreements”), as applicable; and 
  
 (c) to the extent not otherwise included, all proceeds of
any and all of the foregoing. 
  
 Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by the Borrowers to the Lender but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an
Insolvency Proceeding involving any Borrower. Each Pledgor has delivered to 
  

 2 

 and deposited with the Lender all certificates owned by such Pledgor representing the Pledged Interests to the extent
such Pledged Interests are represented by certificates and undated powers endorsed in blank with respect to such certificates. In addition, each Pledgor has delivered to the Lender all of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, in suitable
form for recording, with respect to all of the Pledged Collateral that is not represented by certificates that are necessary to perfect the security interest granted to the Lender under this Agreement in such Pledged Collateral or such Pledgor has
authorized the Lender to prepare and file such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements. It is the intention of the parties hereto that record and beneficial ownership of the Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, all voting,
consensual and dividend rights, shall remain in the Pledgors until the occurrence of an Event of Default and until the Lender shall notify the Pledgors of the Lender’s exercise of voting and consensual rights to the Pledged Collateral pursuant
to Section 10 hereof. 
  
 3. Operating Agreements and
Partnership Agreements. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each applicable Pledgor shall, for so long as it shall remain a member under any Operating Agreement or a partner under any Partnership Agreement, remain liable under such
Operating Agreement or Partnership Agreement, as the case may be, to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof. With
regard to Pledged Collateral for which the applicable Operating Agreement or Partnership Agreement provides that all limited liability company or partnership interests, as applicable, issued thereunder shall be certificated, the applicable Pledgor
or Pledgors shall not amend, supplement or otherwise modify (or consent to any such amendment, supplement or modification of) the terms of such Operating Agreement or such Partnership Agreement, as the case may be, so as to provide for the issuance
of uncertificated limited liability company or partnership interests, as applicable, without the prior written consent of the Lender. With regard to Pledged Collateral for which the applicable Operating Agreement or Partnership Agreement, as the
case may be, does not provide that all limited liability company or partnership interests, as applicable, issued thereunder shall be certificated, the applicable Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that such Pledged Collateral (i)
is not dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (ii) does not constitute investment company securities, and (iii) is not held by each Pledgor or Pledgors in a securities account. In addition, each applicable Pledgor
further hereby represents and warrants that the articles of organization, the Operating Agreements or the Partnership Agreements or other agreements governing any of the uncertificated Pledged Collateral do not provide that such Pledged Collateral
may be certificated or that such Pledged Collateral are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction. 
  
 4. Additional Pledged Interests. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement: 
  
 (a) any stock dividend, stock split, reclassification,
readjustment or other change is declared or made in the capital structure of any of the Pledged Companies, or any new Stock is issued by any of the Pledged Companies, all new, substituted, and additional shares, units or other securities issued in
respect of any of the Pledged Interests shall be issued to the applicable Pledgor and shall be promptly delivered to the Lender, together with a duly executed Pledge Agreement Supplement in 
  

 3 

 substantially the form of Annex 1 hereto (the “Pledge Agreement Supplement”)
identifying such additional Pledged Interests to be held by the Lender under the terms of this Agreement and with undated powers endorsed in blank by such Pledgor, and, to the extent such new Stock or other securities are not represented by
certificates, such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements with respect thereto as shall be necessary to perfect the security interest of the Lender therein or authorization given to the Lender to prepare and file such Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements, and in each case, such new, substituted, and additional shares, units and other securities shall, upon the issuance thereof, constitute additional Pledged Interests to be held by the Lender under the terms of this Agreement;
and 
  
 (b) any subscriptions, warrants or other
rights or options shall be issued in connection with any of the Pledged Interests, all new Stock or other securities acquired through such subscriptions, warrants, rights or options shall thereupon constitute Pledged Interests to be held by the
Lender under the terms of this Agreement, and, to the extent such Stock or other securities are represented by certificates, such certificates shall be promptly delivered to the Lender, together with undated powers endorsed in blank by the
applicable Pledgor, and, to the extent such new Stock or other securities are not represented by certificates, such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements with respect thereto as shall be necessary to perfect the security interest of the
Lender therein shall be promptly delivered to the Lender or the applicable Pledgor shall authorize the Lender to prepare and file such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements. 
  
 5. Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Lender may sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the Pledged Interests at one or more public or private sales or make any other commercially reasonable disposition of the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof after ten (10) calendar days’ notice to the Pledgors
and the Lender may credit bid and purchase the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof at any public sale. The proceeds of the public or private sale or other disposition first shall be applied to the costs of the Lender incurred in connection with
the sale, expressly including, without limitation, any costs under Section 8 hereof, and then to the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement. In the event the proceeds of such sale or other disposition of the
Pledged Interests are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations, each Pledgor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency. 
  
 6. Additional Rights of Secured Party. In addition to its rights and privileges under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Lender shall
have all the rights, powers and privileges of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction. All amounts realized or collected through the exercise of remedies hereunder shall be applied as provided in
the Loan Agreement. 
  
 7. Return of Pledged Interests to the
Pledgors. Upon satisfaction of the conditions to termination of security interests and Liens set forth in Section 3.5 of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement and the Lender’s security interest and security title hereunder shall terminate, and
the Lender shall return the remaining certificated Pledged Interests and all rights received by the Lender as a result of its possessory interest in such Pledged Interests to the Pledgors and shall deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable such
termination statements and 
  

 4 

 other release documents as may be requested by the Pledgors to evidence the termination of the Lender’s security
interest in such Pledged Interests hereunder. 
  
 8.
Disposition of Pledged Interests by the Lender. None of the Pledged Interests are registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be
restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Pledgor understands that upon such disposition, the Lender may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further
understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Pledgor,
therefore, agrees that: 
  
 (a) if the Lender
shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, the Lender shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or
investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interests for sale and
as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and 
  
 (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Lender has handled such disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. 
  

9. Pledgors’ Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Pledgors under this Agreement shall be direct and immediate and not conditional
or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against any other Person, nor against other security or Liens available to the Lender. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right to require that an action be brought against any other Person or with respect
to any security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Lender in favor of any other Person prior to the exercise of remedies hereunder, or to require action hereunder prior to resort by the Lender to any other
security or collateral for the Obligations. 
  
 10. Voting
Rights. 
  
 (a) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Lender may, in addition to all rights and remedies available to the Lender under any other Loan Document, at law, in equity or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual
rights with respect to the Pledged Interests owned by any Pledgor, but under no circumstances is the Lender obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) each Pledgor hereby appoints the Lender, as such Pledgor’s
true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY, to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it in any manner the Lender deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or that may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members,
as the case may be. The power-of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. 
  
 (b) For so long as any Pledgor shall have the right to vote any of the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will not,
without the prior written 
  

 5 

 consent of the Lender, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests that would constitute an
Event of Default. 
  
 11. Notices. All notices and other
communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be given in the form and manner and, if to the Lender, to the address for the Lender set forth in the Loan Agreement and, if to any Pledgor, to the address for such Pledgor
set forth on the signature pages hereof. 
  
 12. Continuing
