             3  

              

            

        

        

        administration of Construction Loan #2, and payment of other costs and expenses (reasonably acceptable to the Agent) which are incidental or related to the costs of completing the Distribution Facility. 

          

        1.4      Disbursement Procedure. Advances under Construction Loan #2 will be made in accordance with the following disbursement procedures (in addition to the conditions precedent set forth elsewhere in this Amendment and in the Credit Agreement): 

          

        1.4.1   Request for Advance. The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent an Advance Request at least two (2) Business Days before the requested date of disbursement. Advances under Construction Loan #2 may not be requested more often than monthly. No Advance may be requested which would cause the
aggregate amount of disbursements made under the Construction Notes #2 to exceed eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate amount expended for construction of the Distribution Facility up to the date of such Advance. If requested by the Agent, each Advance Request shall be accompanied by (i) billing statements, vouchers and invoices, in form and content satisfactory to the Agent, with regard to items that are the subject of the Advance Request, and/or (ii) appropriate waivers of lien
rights, in form and content satisfactory to the Agent and its legal counsel, executed and acknowledged by all contractors, subcontractors, laborers and materialmen who have furnished labor or materials relating to the Distribution Facility. The Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of each such notice. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date such Advance is requested to be made (but subject to the Borrower's satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the making of such Advance), each Bank
will make available to the Agent, at the Agent's Principal Office in immediately available funds, such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the amount of the requested Advance. After the Agent's receipt of such funds, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions, the Agent will make such Advance available to the Borrower as set forth in Section 1.4.3 below. 

          

        1.4.2   Agent's Inspection. If for any reason the Agent deems it necessary to cause the Distribution Facility to be examined by a representative of the Agent prior to making any requested Advance, the Agent shall have a reasonable time within which to do so, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent
for all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably by the Agent in conducting such inspection. The Banks shall not be required to make any Advance until such inspection has been made and is satisfactory to the Agent. 

          

        1.4.3   Disbursements. The Agent shall, on the date the requested Advance is to be made or as soon thereafter as all conditions precedent to such Advance have been satisfactorily met, credit the amount of such Advance to the Borrower's primary operating account maintained with the Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing disbursement procedure, if an Event of Default occurs hereunder or under the terms of any of the Loan Documents, the Agent may, with the approval of the Banks, until such Event of Default is cured or for so  

          

        

             4  

              

            

        

        

        long as required hereunder, make all disbursements to a title company escrow account, and such title company will draw checks on such account for payment of the items approved by the Agent. Any expense incurred because of a disbursement through a controlled title company escrow account shall be paid by the Borrower. 

          

        1.4.4   Compliance with Project Budget; Cost Overruns. All Advances made under Construction Loan #2 shall be made in accordance with the Project Budget. Any increase in the Project Budget or projected cost of construction which, when added to all previous increases, would cause the aggregate increases
to exceed five (5%) of the original cost of construction shown in the Project Budget, must be approved by the Agent prior to implementation or incorporation into construction of the Distribution Facility. In the event the Agent determines at any time, in its reasonable judgment, that the total cost of completing the Distribution Facility free of liens and encumbrances, other than those in favor of the Agent contemplated hereby, will exceed the undisbursed balance of Construction Loan
#2, the Agent may require further security for the payment of the Construction Notes #2 by (i) requiring the Borrower to grant the Agent additional collateral, satisfactory to the Agent, and/or (ii) requiring the Borrower to make cash deposits with the Agent sufficient in amount to cover such estimated excess cost of completing the Distribution Facility, which cash deposits will be disbursed on a first-out basis prior to further Advances by the Banks under Construction Loan
#2. 

          

        1.4.5   Waivers. If requested, partial lien waivers must be delivered to the Agent within five (5) Business Days following each Advance for the amount of work completed and paid for as of the date of billing on which the latest Advance was based, and general lien waivers must be delivered to the Agent
upon the disbursement of the final Advance and, if requested by the Agent, such waivers shall be accompanied by an indemnity agreement or affidavit of payment from the Borrower and the Contractor in favor of the Agent, in form and content satisfactory to the Agent, regarding discharge or prevention of any mechanics' or materialmen's lien(s). 

          

        1.4.6   Construction Loan #2 Completion Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Banks shall have no obligation to advance funds under Construction Loan #2 after the Construction Loan #2 Completion Date. 

          

        1.5      Construction Notes #2. The Borrower shall make, execute and deliver the Construction Notes #2 payable to the order of the respective Banks in order to evidence all Advances from time to time made and outstanding under Construction Loan #2 and interest accrued thereon. Notwithstanding the principal
amount stated on the face of each Construction Note #2, the actual principal amount due from the Borrower on account of each Construction Note #2 will be the sum of all amounts advanced against such Note, less all principal payments actually received in collected funds. Each  

          

        

             5  

              

            

        

        

        disbursement made against a Construction Note #2 and each principal payment thereon will be recorded by the applicable Bank in its books and records, and the unpaid principal balance so recorded will be deemed presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing thereon. 

          

        1.5.     Interest. The unpaid principal amount from time to time outstanding under each Construction Note #2 will bear interest at the rate or rates and payable in the manner set forth therein. 

          

        1.6      Required Payments; Maturity. 

          

        1.6.1 Interest Only Period. Interest only on the unpaid principal balance of each Construction Note #2 shall be due and payable on the last day of each calendar month commencing August 31, 2009, and continuing through and including July 31, 2010. 

          

        1.6.2   Principal and Interest Installments Prior to Maturity. Beginning August 31, 2010, and continuing on the last day of each calendar month thereafter through and including June 30, 2016, the Construction Notes #2 will be payable as to principal and interest in seventy-one (71) consecutive equal
(level) installments, with each scheduled installment being an amount which would fully amortize the aggregate principal balance of the Construction Notes #2 outstanding as of the Construction Loan #2 Completion Date, together with interest thereon at the initial Note Rate over an assumed 15-year amortization period. The required monthly installment amount on the Construction Notes #2 shall be re-determined on an annual basis (effective with the installment payment due on August 31 of
each year) to an amount which would fully amortize the remaining aggregate principal balances of the Construction Notes #2, together with interest thereon, over the remainder of the assumed amortization period at the Note Rate in effect as of the re-determination date. 

          

        1.6.3   Maturity. The entire unpaid principal balance of each Construction Note #2, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, will be due and payable on July 31, 2016. 

          

        1.6.4   Application of Payments. Each required installment payment on the Construction Notes #2 shall be applied, when received in good funds, first to the unpaid interest accrued thereon and then to the principal balances thereof. 

          

        1.7     Prepayment. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Construction Notes #2, in whole or in part, subject to Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement. Amounts voluntarily prepaid on the Construction Notes #2 shall be applied to the unpaid principal
installments thereof in inverse order of maturity. Amounts prepaid on the Construction Notes #2 may not be reborrowed. 

          

        

             6  

              

            

        

        

        1.8     Completion. The Borrower covenants and agrees that: (a) it will complete construction of the Distribution Facility on or before Construction Loan #2 Completion Date in accordance with the Plans and within the Project Budget; (b) within fifteen (15) days following completion of construction of the
Distribution Facility, it will deliver to the Agent a certificate of completion, in form and content satisfactory to the Agent, signed by the Borrower and the Contractor, certifying that the Distribution Facility has been completed in accordance with the Plans; and (c) if the Agent determines it to be reasonably necessary or advisable, it will deliver a post-completion survey prepared by and certified to the Banks by a licensed civil engineer or surveyor satisfactory to the Agent, which
survey shall show the location of the completed Distribution Facility and otherwise be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 

          

        1.9     Appraisal. Following completion of construction of the Distribution Facility, the Agent shall obtain an independent "as built" appraisal of the Additional Mortgaged Property prepared by an MAI appraiser selected and approved by the Agent's appraisal committee. Such appraisal shall conform to the
standards for appraisals applicable to national banks. The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Agent for the costs of such appraisal. 

          

        1.10  Collateral; Mortgaged Property. The Borrower confirms that all of the Obligations, including the Advances to be made under Construction Loan #2, are intended to be secured by all of the Collateral. All Loan Documents previously executed by the Borrower are hereby amended to reflect that the obligations secured thereby
include all amounts from time to time included in the Obligations. The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver an amendment to the Mortgage (the "Mortgage Amendment") in order to reflect that the indebtedness secured thereby includes the Revolving Line, the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B, the Construction Loan and Construction Loan #2. 

          

        2.          EXTENSION OF REVOLVING LINE. 

          

        2.1     Termination Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment, the availability of the Revolving Line is hereby extended to April 9, 2011. Accordingly, the definition of the term "Termination Date" set forth in Section 1.98 of the Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety to read
as follows: 

          

        1.98      "Termination Date" means April 9, 2011. 

          

        2.2     Replacement Line Notes. The Borrower agrees to make, execute and deliver to each Bank a substitute promissory note (each, a "Replacement Line Note") in renewal, extension and replacement of, but not in satisfaction or novation of, the existing Line
Notes. From and after the Effective Date, all references in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the "Line Notes" shall include, as applicable, the Replacement Line Notes, together with any and all renewals, extensions or replacements thereof, amendments or modifications thereto or substitutions therefor. 

        3.          ADJUSTMENTS TO PRICING. As of the Effective Date:

the immediately preceding Business Day); provided that if such LIBOR rate is not available on any day or ceases to be published, then the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate shall be otherwise independently determined by the Agent from an alternate, substantially similar independent source available to the Agent or shall be calculated by the Agent by a substantially similar methodology as that theretofore used to determine such rate. 

        "Daily Floating LIBOR Rate Loan" means any Loan when and to the extent that the interest rate therefore is determined by reference to the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate.

to the date of the applicable endorsement, and showing a state of facts reasonably acceptable to the Agent including, but not limited to, a showing that no claim for mechanics' and materialmen's liens has been filed against the Additional Mortgaged Property. Such endorsement must have the effect of increasing the coverage of the Title Policy by an amount equal to the Advance then being made, if the Title Policy does not by its terms automatically provide for such increase. 

          

        6.3.2   No Event of Default. No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date the Advance is requested to be made.

        7.2.3   No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Amendment Documents and the Additional Mortgage do not and will not (i) conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, constitute  

          

        

             14

action may be required, it has been validly procured or duly taken. 

          

        7.2.4   Financial Statements. The audited financial statements of the Borrowers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and the interim unaudited financial statements of the Borrower for the three months ended March 31, 2009, copies of which have been furnished to the Banks, are correct and
complete and fairly reflect the financial position of the Borrower as at the dates thereof and for the periods then ended. No material adverse change has occurred in the financial position of the Borrower from the effective dates of such financial statements to the date hereof.
