effect) (i) in the case of the 2006 Senior Notes or the 2003 Senior Notes,
shall have the right to accelerate (or to instruct the applicable trustee to
accelerate) the Indebtedness under the 2006 Senior Notes or the 2003 Senior
Notes, as applicable, or to exercise (or to instruct the applicable trustee to
exercise) any other remedies against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) in
the case of the 2006 Senior Subordinated Notes, shall have accelerated (or

2

“(or, in the case of the
Applicable Note Interest Payments, prior to the Cutoff Date)”.  For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and

Payments” with “Applicable Note Interest Payments” each time that it appears

successors, assigns or other legal representatives violates the foregoing
covenant, each Loan Party, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal
representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Lender
Party or Lender Party Affiliate may sustain as a result of such 

 

4

 

violation, all reasonable

Section 4.               Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           GGC shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent copies of each Waiver/Forbearance Agreement immediately
upon the effectiveness thereof, and agrees that its failure to do so within two
days after the effectiveness thereof shall constitute an Event of Default.

 

(b)           The Credit Agreement, and the
obligations of the Loan Parties thereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect
according to their terms.

 

(c)           Each Guarantor (a) acknowledges
and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment, (b) affirms
all of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) agrees that this
Amendment and all documents executed in connection herewith do not operate to
reduce or discharge its obligations under the Credit Agreement or the Loan
Documents.

 

(d)           The Borrowers and the Guarantors
hereby represent and warrant as follows:

 

(i)            Each Loan Party has taken all necessary
action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment.

 

(ii)           This Amendment has been duly executed
and delivered by the Loan Parties and constitutes each of the Loan Parties’
legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

(iii)          No consent, approval, authorization or
order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any court or
governmental authority or third party is required in connection with the
execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of this Amendment.

 

(e)           The Loan Parties represent and
warrant to the Lenders that after giving effect to this Amendment (i) the
representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in Article VI
of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in
all material respects as of the date hereof and will be true and correct in all
material respects as of the Amendment Effective Date with the same effect as if
made on and as of such dates, except to the extent such representations and
warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date and (ii) no event
has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of
Default.

 

(f)            Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and
confirms the security interest in and to all Collateral granted to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the perfected, first
priority status of such security interest as set forth therein (subject only to
liens which are permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents to be prior to the
Lien of the Collateral Agent).

 

(g)           In the event that the Amendment
Effective Date occurs during the period beginning on June 15, 2009 through
and including the day preceding the Cutoff Date, the Lenders 

 

5

 

hereby waive, solely during
the period beginning on June 15, 2009 through and including the Amendment
Effective Date, any Event of Default under Section 9.01(f), 9.01(n), 9.01(o) or
9.01(p) of the Credit Agreement arising solely from the Company’s failure
to make any of the Applicable Note Interest Payments.  The waiver granted pursuant to this Section 4(g) shall
be limited precisely as written, and shall not extend to any Default or Event
of Default under any other provision of the Credit Agreement.

 

(h)           This Amendment may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument.  Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Amendment by telecopy shall be effective as an original and
shall constitute a representation that an executed original shall be delivered.

 

(i)            THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Additional CapEx Amount for the following fiscal year.

 

(c)           Designation of Consolidated Capital Expenditures.  On each Compliance Certificate delivered

designate, with respect to all Consolidated Capital Expenditures made during
such fiscal period, (i) whether such Consolidated Capital Expenditures are
Base Consolidated Capital Expenditures or Permitted Additional Consolidated
Capital Expenditures, (ii) if such Consolidated Capital Expenditures are
Permitted Additional Capital Expenditures, whether such Permitted Additional
Capital Expenditures were made in reliance on the receipt of Liquidation

Section 9.05         EBITDA
Cure Rights.

 

(a)           In the event of any Event of Default resulting from a
failure to comply with any covenant set forth in Section 8.11 with
respect to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009, the fiscal quarter
ended December 31, 2009 or the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010,
and until the fifteenth day after the date on which GGC provides the
Administrative Agent notice that it intends to exercise its right to engage in
an EBITDA Cure Issuance under this Section 9.05(a) with
respect to any such Event of Default (but only if such notice is provided on or
before the date on which the financial statements for such fiscal quarter are
required to be delivered under Section 7.01 (without regard to any
cure periods set forth in Section 9.01 with respect to such fiscal
quarter) or, if earlier, the date on which such financial statements are
actually delivered), subject to Sections 9.05(c) and 9.05(d),
GGC may engage in an EBITDA Cure Issuance and apply the amount of the EBITDA
Cure Proceeds thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such
fiscal quarter; provided that such EBITDA Cure Proceeds (i) are
actually received by GGC or any other Domestic Loan Party no later than the
fifteenth day following the earlier of (x) the date on which the financial
statements for such fiscal quarter are required to be delivered under Section 7.01
(without regard to any cure periods set forth in Section 9.01 with
respect to such fiscal quarter) and (y) the date on which such financial
statements are actually delivered and (ii) do not exceed the aggregate
amount necessary to cure such Event of Default under Section 8.11
for such fiscal quarter.  The parties
hereby acknowledge that this Section 9.05(a) shall not be
relied on for any purpose other than recalculating financial ratios for
purposes of determining compliance with Sections 8.11(a), 8.11(b),
8.11(c) and 8.11(d), and shall not result in any adjustment
to Consolidated EBITDA or any other amounts, other than the amount of
Consolidated EBITDA referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(b)           If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations,
the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries shall be in compliance with the
covenants set forth in Sections 8.11(a), 8.11(b), 8.11(c) and
8.11(d), the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have
satisfied the requirements of such covenants as of the relevant

 

16

 

determination
date with the same effect as if there had been no failure to comply therewith
at such date, and the applicable breach or default with respect to such
covenants that had occurred shall be deemed to be cured effective as of such
date for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           With respect to the fiscal quarters ending September 30,
2009, December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, there shall be at least
one fiscal quarter in which the right to engage in an EBITDA Cure Issuance set
forth in Section 9.05(a) is not exercised.

 

(d)           Consolidated EBITDA may not be increased by more than $10,000,000
in aggregate for all fiscal quarters as a result of the exercise of the right
to engage in an EBITDA Cure Issuance set forth in Section 9.05(a).

 

(e)           The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that from
the date of delivery of the notice referred to in (and delivered in accordance
with) Section 9.05(a) until the date that is fifteen days
thereafter, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall exercise any
rights or remedies with respect to any Event of Default addressed in such notice.

 

(bbb)      A new Section 9.06 shall be added to
the Credit Agreement as follows:

 

Section 9.06         Other Cure Rights.

 

(a)           In the event of any Event of Default resulting from a
failure to comply with any covenant set forth in Section 8.11 with
respect to any fiscal quarter and so long as the EBITDA Cure Issuance
Expiration Date has occurred (or shall occur simultaneously with the applicable
Other Cure Issuance), and until the fifteenth day after the date on which GGC
provides the Administrative Agent notice that it intends to exercise its right
to engage in an Other Cure Issuance under this Section 9.06(a) with
respect to any such Event of Default (but only if such notice is provided on or
before the date on which the financial statements for such fiscal quarter are
required to be delivered under Section 7.01 (without regard to any
cure periods set forth in Section 9.01 with respect to such fiscal
quarter) or, if earlier, the date on which such financial statements are
actually delivered), GGC may engage in an Other Cure Issuance.  If no later than the fifteenth day following
the earlier of (x) the date on which the financial statements for such
fiscal quarter are required to be delivered under Section 7.01
(without regard to any cure periods set forth in Section 9.01 with
respect to such fiscal quarter) and (y) the date on which such financial
statements are actually delivered, GGC shall have applied an amount equal to
100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the Permitted Junior Refinancing Indebtedness
issued or incurred pursuant to such Other Cure Issuance to prepay or cash
collateralize the Term Loan, the Revolving Loans, the Bankers’ Acceptance
Advances, the Canadian Swing Line Loans and the L/C Obligations in accordance
with the proviso to Section 8.03(r), then:

 

(i)                                     solely for
purposes of recalculating the financial ratios for purposes of determining
compliance with Sections 8.11(a) and 8.11(c), Consolidated
Cash Interest Charges and Consolidated Fixed Charges shall be determined on a
pro forma basis assuming that such Other Cure Issuance and the related
prepayments had occurred on the first day of the four

 

17

 

consecutive
fiscal quarter period most recently ended prior to the date on which such Other
Cure Issuance actually occurred; and

 

(ii)                                  solely for
purposes of recalculating the financial ratios for purposes of determining
compliance with Sections 8.11(b) and 8.11(d), Consolidated
Funded Indebtedness and Consolidated Senior Secured Indebtedness shall be
determined on a pro forma basis assuming that such Other Cure Issuance and the
related prepayments had occurred on the last day of the fiscal quarter most
recently ended prior to the date on which such Other Cure Issuance actually
occurred.

 

(b)           The parties hereby acknowledge that Section 9.06(a) shall
not be relied on for any purpose other than recalculating financial ratios for
purposes of determining compliance with Sections 8.11(a), 8.11(b),
8.11(c) and 8.11(d), and shall not result in any adjustment
to Consolidated Cash Interest Charges, Consolidated Fixed Charges, Consolidated
Funded Indebtedness, Consolidated Senior Secured Indebtedness or any other
amounts, other than as set forth in Sections 9.06(a)(i) and 9.06(a)(ii).

 

(c)           If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations,
the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries shall be in compliance with the
covenants set forth in Sections 8.11(a), 8.11(b), 8.11(c) and
8.11(d), the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have
satisfied the requirements of such covenants as of the relevant determination
date with the same effect as if there had been no failure to comply therewith
at such date, and the applicable breach or default with respect to such
covenants that had occurred shall be deemed to be cured effective as of such
date for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(d)           The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that from
the date of delivery of the notice referred to in (and delivered in accordance
with) Section 9.06(a) until the date that is fifteen days
thereafter, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall exercise any
rights or remedies with respect to any Event of Default addressed in such
notice.

 

(ccc)       Section 10.01(a) of the Credit
Agreement is amended by deleting the last sentence thereof.

 

Section 2.               Commitment Reduction.  Parts I, II and III of Schedule 2.01

On the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrowers shall prepay
Domestic Revolving Loans, Canadian Revolving Loans and/or Canadian Swing Line
Loans to the extent necessary to reflect the reduction in the applicable
Commitments.

 

Section 3.               Compliance Certificate.  Schedule 2 to the Compliance Certificate
appearing in Exhibit C to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated to read in its entirety as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto.

EXHIBIT I

 

Acceptable Subordination Terms

 

[attached]

 

 

ACCEPTABLE SUBORDINATION TERMS

 

Section 1. 
Agreement to Subordinate.  Notwithstanding
any provision in this [INSERT NAME OF DOCUMENT] to the contrary, [INSERT NAME
OF BORROWER] (the “Company”) and
[INSERT NAME OF LENDER] (the “Subordinated Lender”)
covenant and agree that the Company’s obligations under this [INSERT NAME OF
DOCUMENT] (the “Subordinated Obligations”) are
subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in Sections
[1—8], to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations.  “Senior Obligations”
means the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement dated as of October 3,
2006 among Georgia Gulf Corporation and Royal Group, Inc., as Borrowers, certain
subsidiaries of Georgia Gulf Corporation from time to time party thereto, as
Guarantors, the Lenders party thereto, Bank of America, National Association,
as Domestic Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), and
Bank of America, National Association acting through its Canada branch, as
Canadian Administrative Agent (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from
time to time, the “Credit Agreement”)),
and “Senior Obligees” means the holders from
time to time of the Senior Obligations. 
The subordination provisions of this [Sections 1-8] (the “Subordination Provisions”) are for the benefit of and
enforceable directly by the Senior Obligees or their designated
representatives.  Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
Credit Agreement.

 

Section 2. 
Default on Senior Obligations.  (a) No direct or indirect payment,
deposit or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, by set-off, collateral or in any other manner, by or on behalf of
the Company of principal of, or interest (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, in respect of interest payable-in-kind) on, or any other obligation in
respect of, the Subordinated Obligations, whether pursuant to the terms of the
Subordinated Obligations, upon acceleration, by way of repurchase, redemption,
defeasance or otherwise (all such payments, deposits or distributions being
referred to herein, individually and collectively, as a “Subordinated
Obligations Payment”), shall be made if, at the time of such
Subordination Obligations Payment, there exists, or would result therefrom, a
Default or Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

(b)           In the event that any
Subordinated Obligations Payment shall be received by the Subordinated Lender
or any representative thereof at a time when such Subordinated Obligations
Payment is prohibited by clause (a) above and before all Senior
Obligations are paid in full in cash, such Subordinated Obligations Payment
shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over
or delivered to, the relevant Administrative Agent or other representative on
behalf of the Senior Obligees, as their respective interests may appear, for
application to the payment of Senior Obligations remaining unpaid until all
Senior Obligations have been paid in full after giving effect to any concurrent
payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the account of the Senior
Obligees.

 

(c)           Until the Senior Obligations
have been paid in full in cash (i) if a Default or Event of Default (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing or would
result therefrom, or if a case or proceeding of the nature referred to in [Section 3(a)]
shall have commenced, the Subordinated Lender will not take, demand or receive,
or take any action to accelerate or collect, any payment of all or any part of
the Subordinated Obligations and (ii) the Subordinated Lender will not
file, join in or facilitate any petition or proceeding seeking the involuntary
bankruptcy of the Company.  The
Subordinated Lender hereby waives any right that it may have otherwise had to
do any of the foregoing in such circumstances.

 

Section 3. 
Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. 
(a) In the event of (i) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or
proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar
case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its
creditors, as such, or to their assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, or (ii) any
liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, 

 

 

whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving
insolvency or bankruptcy, or (iii) any assignment for the benefit of
creditors or any other marshaling of assets and liabilities of the Company,
then and in any such event specified in sub-clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above,
the Senior Obligees shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash (or
cash collateralization to the satisfaction in its sole discretion of the
relevant Senior Obligee) of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect
of all Senior Obligations, including all interest accrued or accruing on the
Senior Obligations after, or that would accrue but for, the commencement of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar case or proceeding at the
contract rate (including, without limitation, any contract rate applicable upon
default) specified in the instrument evidencing the relevant Senior
Obligations, whether or not the claim for such interest is allowed or allowable
as a claim in such case or proceeding with respect to the Senior Obligations
(only such payment constituting “payment in full”)
before the Subordinated Lender is entitled to receive any Subordinated
Obligations Payment, and in any such event any Subordinated Obligations Payment
to which the Subordinated Lender or any representative thereof would be
entitled, but for the Subordination Provisions, shall be made by the Company or
by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other
person making such payment or distribution, directly to the relevant
Administrative Agent or other representative on behalf of the Senior Obligees,
as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all
such Senior Obligations in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment,
distribution or provision therefor to or for the Senior Obligees.

 

(b)           In the event that any
Subordinated Obligations Payment shall be received by the Subordinated Lender
or any representative thereof at a time when such Subordinated Obligations
Payment is prohibited by clause (a) above and before all obligations in
respect of Senior Obligations are paid in full in cash (or cash collateralized
to the satisfaction in its sole discretion of the relevant Senior Obligee),
such Subordinated Obligations Payment shall be received and held in trust for
the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the relevant
Administrative Agent or other representative on behalf of the Senior Obligees,
as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of
Senior Obligations remaining unpaid until all Senior Obligations have been paid
in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or
provision therefor to or for the account of the Senior Obligees.

 

(c)           The Subordinated Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent, as attorney-in-fact for the
Subordinated Lender, to prove any claim in proceedings referred to in clause (a) on
the Subordinated Obligations, and to demand, sue for, collect and receive any
such payment or distribution, and to apply such payment or distribution to the
payment of the then unpaid Senior Obligations, and to take such other action
(including acceptance or rejection of any plan of reorganization) in the name
of the Subordinated Lender or of the relevant Senior Obligees as the Agent may
deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of the Subordination
Provisions.  The Subordinated Lender
shall execute and deliver such other and further powers of attorney,
assignments, proofs of claim or other instruments as may be requested by the
Agent in order to accomplish the foregoing, but only with respect to the
Subordinated Lender’s capacity in respect of the Subordinated Obligations and
not in respect of any other relationship between the Subordinated Lender and
the Company.

 

Section 4. 
Subrogation.  A distribution
made under the Subordination Provisions to the Senior Obligees which otherwise
would have been made to the Subordinated Lender is not, as between the Company
and the Subordinated Lender, a payment by the Company on the Subordinated
Debt.  After all Senior Obligations are
paid in full and until the Subordinated Obligations are paid in full, the Subordinated
Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Obligees to receive
payments in respect of the Senior Obligations.

 

Section 5. 
Relative Rights; Subordination Not to Prevent Events of Default.  The Subordination Provisions
define the relative rights of the Subordinated Lender and the Senior Obligees
and do not impair, as between the Company and the Subordinated Lender, the
obligation of the Company, which is 

 

 

absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the
Subordinated Obligations in accordance with their terms, subject to [Section 2(c)]
above.  The failure to make a payment on
the Subordinated Obligations by reason of the Subordination Provisions shall
not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default under this [Note/Instrument].

 

Section 6. 
Subordinated Lender Entitled to Rely.  For the purpose of ascertaining the
outstanding amount of the Senior Obligations, the identity of the Senior
Obligees, and all other information relevant to making any payment or
distribution to the Senior Obligees pursuant to the Subordination Provisions,
the Subordinated Lender is entitled to rely upon an order or decree of a court
or competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in
[Section 3(a)] are pending, a certificate of the liquidating trustee or
other person making a payment or distribution to the Subordinated Lender, or
information provided by the Agent.

 

Section 7. 
Subordination May Not Be Impaired By Company.  No right of any Senior
Obligee to enforce the subordination of the Subordinated Obligations will be
impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to
comply with this [Note/Instrument], regardless of any knowledge thereof that
any Senior Obligee may have or otherwise be charged with, or by any act or
failure to act, in good faith, by any Senior Obligee.

 

Section 8. 
Reliance by Senior Obligees  on
Subordination Provisions; No Waiver.  (a) The
Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Subordination Provisions
are, and are intended to be, an inducement and consideration to each Senior
Obligee, whether the Senior Obligations were created or acquired before or
after the incurrence of the Subordinated Obligations, to acquire or to hold the
Senior Obligations, and each Senior Obligee will be deemed conclusively to have
relied on the Subordination Provisions in acquiring and holding such Senior
Obligations.  Without limiting the
foregoing, the Subordinated Lender hereby waives notice of or proof of reliance
by any Senior Obligee on any of the Subordination Provisions.

 

(b)           Without in any way limiting
the generality of [Section 7], the Senior Obligees may, at any time and
from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Subordinated Lender,
without incurring any liability or responsibility to the Subordinated Lender,
and without impairing the rights of the Senior Obligees under the Subordination
Provisions, do any of the following:

 

(1)           change the manner, place or
terms of payment of, extend the time of payment of, increase the amount of, or
renew or alter, the Senior Obligations or any instrument evidencing the same or
any agreement under which the Senior Obligations are outstanding or secured;

 

(2)           sell, exchange, release or
otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing the
Senior Obligations;

 

(3)           release any person liable in
any manner for the payment of the Senior Obligations; or

 

(4)           exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights against the Company or any other person.

 

(c)           Each of the parties hereto
acknowledge that the Subordination Provisions are for the benefit of the Senior
Obligees and their respective successors and assigns and may not be rescinded
or cancelled or modified in any way without the prior written consent of the
Agent.

of the provisions of this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or in any respect, or in the

“interest” (as defined in Section 347 (the “Criminal Code Section”) of the
Criminal Code (Canada), payable to the Payee under this Note exceed the
effective annual rate of interest lawfully permitted under the Criminal Code
Section.  Further, if any payment,
collection or demand pursuant to this Note in respect of such “interest” is
determined to be contrary to the provisions of the Criminal Code Section, such
payment, collection, or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual
mistake of the Maker and the Payee and such “interest” shall be deemed to have
been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of
interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result
in the receipt by the Payee of interest at a rate not in contravention of the
Criminal Code Section.

 

(b)           Each interest rate which is
calculated under this Note on any basis other than a full calendar year (the “deemed
interest period”) is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent
to a yearly rate calculated by dividing such interest rate by the actual number
of days in the deemed interest period, then multiplying such result by the
actual number of days in the calendar year (365 or 366).

 

 

(c)           Any payments in respect of
amounts due under this Note shall be applied first in satisfaction of any
accrued and unpaid interest, and then to the principal amount outstanding.
