Co.”); (Rowe Companies, Rowe Diversified, Home Elements, Wood Products, Rowe Properties, Storehouse, Furniture and Mitchell Gold Co. being referred to collectively as “Borrowers,” and individually as a “Borrower”); the
various financial institutions listed on the signature pages hereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns which become “Lenders” as provided herein; and FLEET CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Rhode Island corporation with an
office at 300 Galleria Parkway, Suite 800, Atlanta, Georgia 30339 in its capacity as collateral and administrative agent for the Lenders pursuant to Section 12 hereof (together with its successors in such capacity, “Agent”).
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A, General Definitions. 
  
 Recitals: 
  
 Each Borrower has requested that Lenders make available a term loan and revolving credit facility to Borrowers, which shall be used by Borrowers to refinance a portion of their existing debt and to finance their
mutual and collective enterprise of manufacturing and distributing of furniture and other home furnishings. In order to utilize the financial powers of each Borrower in the most efficient and economical manner, and in order to facilitate the
financing of each Borrower’s needs, Lenders will, at the request of any Borrower, make loans to all Borrowers under the term loan and revolving credit facility on a combined basis and in accordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth.
Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise and Borrowers believe that the consolidation of all term and revolving credit loans under this Agreement will enhance the aggregate borrowing powers of each Borrower and ease the
administration of their term and revolving credit loan relationship with Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers. Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer each Borrower’s collateral security therefor,
on a combined basis as more fully set forth in this Agreement, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request in furtherance of Borrowers’ mutual and collective enterprise. 
  
 Each Borrower has agreed to guarantee the obligations of each of the other
Borrowers under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents. 

 NOW, THEREFORE, for Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows: 
  
 SECTION 1. CREDIT FACILITIES 
  
 Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lenders severally agree to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth to make their respective Pro Rata shares of the Commitments available to Borrowers, in
an aggregate amount up to $45,000,000, as follows: 
  
 1.1.
Revolver Commitment. 
  
 1.1.1. Revolver Loans.
Each Lender agrees, severally to the extent of its Revolver Commitment and not jointly with the other Lenders, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers on any Business Day during the period
from the date hereof through the Business Day before the last day of the Original Term, not to exceed in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time such Lender’s Revolver Commitment at such time, which Revolver Loans may be repaid and
reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Lenders shall have no obligation to Borrowers whatsoever to make any Revolver Loan (other than any Pending Revolver Loans, but only to the extent
the making of such Pending Revolver Loans would not result in the aggregate principal amount of Revolver Loans outstanding to exceed the Borrowing Base) on or after the Commitment Termination Date or if at the time of the proposed funding thereof
the aggregate principal amount of all of the Revolver Loans and Pending Revolver Loans then outstanding exceeds, or would exceed after the funding of such Revolver Loan, the Borrowing Base. Each Borrowing of Revolver Loans shall be funded by Lenders
on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolver Commitments (except for Fleet with respect to Settlement Loans). The Revolver Loans shall bear interest as set forth in Section 2.1 hereof. Each Revolver Loan shall, at the
option of Borrowers, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or more Borrowings that, unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. 
  
 1.1.2. Out-of-Formula Loans. If the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans
outstanding at any time should exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (an “Out-of-Formula Condition”), such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and entitled to all of the benefits of
the Loan Documents. In the event that Lenders are willing to, in their sole and absolute discretion, make Out-of-Formula Loans, such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.1.5 of this
Agreement. 
  
 1.1.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the
Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely for one or more of the following purposes: (i) to satisfy any Debt owing on the Closing Date to the Existing Lenders; (ii) to pay the fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of the
transactions described herein; (iii) to pay any of the Obligations; (iv) Permitted Restructuring Expenses; and (v) to make expenditures for other lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers to the extent such expenditures are not prohibited by this
Agreement or Applicable Law. In no event may any Revolver Loan proceeds be used by any Borrower to make a contribution to the equity of any Subsidiary, to purchase or to carry, or to reduce, retire or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or
carry, any Margin Stock or for any related purpose that violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors. 
  
 1.1.4. Revolver Notes. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such
Lender and by the Revolver Note payable to 
  

 - 2 - 

 such Lender (or the assignee of such Lender), which shall be executed by Borrowers, completed in conformity with this
Agreement and delivered to such Lender. All outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest under the Revolver Notes shall be due and payable as set forth in Section 4.2 hereof. 
  
 1.1.5. Agent Advances. Agent shall be authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole and
absolute discretion, at any time that a Default or Event of Default exists or any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 10 hereof have not been satisfied, to make Base Rate Loans to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders in an aggregate
amount outstanding at any time not to exceed 12.5% of the Borrowing Base, but not in excess of the aggregate of the Commitments, and only to the extent that Agent deems the funding of such Base Rate Loans to be necessary or desirable (i) to preserve
or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of or the amount of repayment of the Obligations or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees
and expenses, all of which Base Rate Loans advanced by Agent shall be deemed part of the Obligations and secured by the Collateral, shall be treated as Settlement Loans and shall be settled and paid by Borrowers and Lenders as provided herein for
Settlement Loans; provided, however, that the Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization to make any such Base Rate Loans by written notice to Agent, which shall become effective upon and after Agent’s
receipt thereof. 
  
 1.2. Term Loan Facility.

  
 1.2.1. Term Loan. Subject to and upon the terms
and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make to Borrowers a Term Loan Advance in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loan shall be comprised of Term Loan Advances in the aggregate
principal amount of $5,000,000 and shall be funded by Lenders on the Closing Date, concurrently with Lenders’ funding of their initial Revolver Loans. The proceeds of the Term Loan Advances shall be used by Borrowers solely for purposes for
which the proceeds of the Revolver Loans are authorized to be used. The Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall expire on the funding by such Lender of its Term Loan Advance. Borrowers shall not be entitled to reborrow any amounts repaid with
respect to the Term Loan Advances. All of the Term Loan Advances shall bear interest as set forth in Section 2.1 hereof and shall initially be Base Rate Loans. Each Lender shall make its Term Loan Advance available to Agent in immediately
available funds, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate, not later than 12:00 noon on the Closing Date. After the Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Term Loan Advance, and upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 10 hereof, Agent shall make the proceeds of all such Term Loan Advances available to Borrowers on the Closing Date by transferring same day funds equal to the proceeds of such Term Loan Advances received by Agent to an account
designated by Borrowers in writing. 
  
 1.2.2. Term Notes.
Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent on behalf of each Lender, on the Closing Date, a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (such promissory note, together with any new
notes issued pursuant to Section 13.3.2 upon the assignment of any portion of any Lender’s Term Loan Advance, being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Term Notes” and each of such promissory notes being hereinafter
referred to individually as a “Term Note”), to evidence such Lender’s Term Loan Advance to Borrowers, in original principal amounts equal to the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Each Term Note shall be dated the
Closing Date (or the date of the applicable Assignment and Acceptance) and shall provide for payment of the Term Loan Advance evidenced thereby as specified in Section 4.3 hereof. 
  

 - 3 - 

 1.3. LC Facility. 
  
 1.3.1. Procurement of Letters of Credit. During the period from the date hereof to (but excluding) the 30th day prior
to the last day of the Original Term, and provided no Default or Event of Default exists, Fleet agrees to establish the LC Facility pursuant to which Fleet shall procure from Bank one or more Letters of Credit on Borrowers’ request therefor
from time to time, subject to the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (i) Each Borrower acknowledges that Bank’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Bank’s receipt of (A) the LC Support duly executed and delivered to Bank by Fleet, (B) an LC
Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit and (C) such other instruments and agreements as Bank may customarily require for the issuance of a letter of credit of equivalent type and amount as the requested Letter of Credit. Fleet
shall have no obligation to execute any LC Support or to join with any Borrower in executing an LC Application unless (x) Fleet receives an LC Request from such Borrower at least 2 Business Days prior to the date on which such Borrower desires to
submit such LC Application to Bank and (y) each of the LC Conditions is satisfied on the date of Fleet’s receipt of the LC Request and at the time of the requested execution of the LC Application. Any Letter of Credit issued on the Closing Date
shall be for an amount in Dollars that is greater than $250,000. In no event shall Fleet or any other Lender have any liability or obligation to any or all Borrowers or any Subsidiary for any failure or refusal by Bank to issue, for Bank’s
delay in issuing, or for any error of Bank in issuing any Letter of Credit. 
  
 (ii) Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower only if they are to be used (a) to support obligations of Borrower incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Borrower or (b) for such other purposes as
Agent and Lenders may approve from time to time in writing. 
  
 (iii) Borrowers shall comply with all of the terms and conditions imposed on Borrowers by Bank, whether such terms and conditions are contained in an LC Application or in any agreement with respect thereto, and
subject to the rights of Bank, Fleet shall have the same rights and remedies that Bank has under any agreements that Borrowers may have with Bank in addition to any rights and remedies contained in any of the Loan Documents. Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to reimburse Bank for any draw under any Letter of Credit as hereinafter provided, and to pay Bank the amount of all other liabilities and obligations payable to Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit immediately when
due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any or all Borrowers may have at any time against Bank or any other Person. If Fleet shall pay any amount under an LC Support with respect to any Letter of Credit, then Borrowers
shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Fleet, in Dollars on the first Business Day following the date on which payment was made by Fleet under such LC Support (the “Reimbursement Date”), an amount equal to the amount paid by
Fleet under such LC Support together with interest from and after the Reimbursement Date until payment in full is made by Borrowers at the rate of interest otherwise in effect for Revolver Loans constituting Base Rate Loans. Until Fleet has received
payment from Borrowers in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause (iii), Fleet, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement, shall be fully subrogated to (A) the rights and remedies of Bank as issuer of
the Letter of Credit under any agreement with one or more of the Borrowers relating to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and (B) the right and remedies of each beneficiary under such Letter of Credit whose claims against Borrowers have been
discharged with the proceeds of such Letter of Credit. Whether or not a Borrower submits any Notice of Borrowing to Agent, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested from Lenders a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay to Fleet
all amounts due Fleet on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not any Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists, the Commitments have been terminated, the funding of the
Borrowing deemed requested by Borrowers would result in, or increase the amount of, any Out-of-Formula Condition, or any of the conditions set forth in Section 10 hereof are not satisfied. 
  

 - 4 - 

 (iv) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit
by the beneficiary thereof. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Fleet for any payment made by Fleet under the LC Support shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and joint and several and shall be paid without regard to any lack of
validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any or all Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or improper honor by Bank of any draw
request under a Letter of Credit. If presentation of a demand, draft, certificate or other document does not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit and a Borrower contends that, as a consequence of such noncompliance it has no obligation to
reimburse Bank for any payment made with respect thereto, Borrowers shall nevertheless be obligated to reimburse Fleet for any payment made under the LC Support with respect to such Letter of Credit, but without waiving any claim a Borrower may have
against Bank in connection therewith. All disputes regarding any Letter of Credit shall be resolved by Borrowers directly with Bank. 
  
 (v) No Letter of Credit shall be extended or amended in any respect that is not solely ministerial, unless all of the LC Conditions are
met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued. With respect to any Letter of Credit that contains any “evergreen” or automatic renewal provision, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or
renewal, unless such Lender shall have provided to Agent written notice that it declines to consent to any such extension or renewal at least 30 days prior to the date on which the issuer of the Letter of Credit is entitled to decline to extend or
renew the Letter of Credit. If all of the LC Conditions are met and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall have the right to decline to consent to any such extension or renewal. 
  
 (vi) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Bank to
deliver to Fleet all instruments, documents and other writings and Property received by Bank pursuant to or in connection with any Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Fleet’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters
arising in connection with such Letter of Credit and the related LC Application. 
  
 1.3.2. Participations. 
  
 (i) Immediately upon the issuance by Bank of any Letter of Credit, each Lender (other than Fleet) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received from Fleet, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to the Pro Rata share of such Lender (a “Participating Lender”) in all LC Outstandings arising in connection
with such Letter of Credit and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto, but in no event greater than an amount which, when added to such Lender’s Pro Rata share of all Revolver Loans and LC Outstandings then outstanding, exceeds
such Lender’s Revolver Commitment. 
  
 (ii)
If Fleet makes any payment under an LC Support and Borrowers do not repay or cause to be repaid the amount of such payment on the Reimbursement Date, Fleet shall promptly notify Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participating Lender, of such
payment and each Participating Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 1 Business Day after its receipt of notice from Agent) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for the account of Fleet, in immediately available funds, the amount of such
Participating Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment, and Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to Fleet. If a Participating Lender does not make its Pro Rata share 
  

 - 5 - 

 of the amount of such payment available to Agent, on a timely basis as herein provided, such
Participating Lender agrees to pay to Agent for the account of Fleet, forthwith on demand, such amount together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate until paid. The failure of any Participating Lender to make available to Agent for the
account of Fleet such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata share of the LC Outstandings shall not relieve any other Participating Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Agent its Pro Rata share of the LC Outstandings, but no
Participating Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participating Lender to make available to Agent its Pro Rata share of the LC Outstandings on the date such payment is to be made. 
  
 (iii) Whenever Fleet receives a payment on account of the LC
Outstandings, including any interest thereon, as to which Agent has previously received payments from any Lender for the account of Fleet, Fleet shall promptly pay to each Participating Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in
immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata share thereof. 
  
 (iv) The obligation of each Participating Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of Fleet in connection with Fleet’s
payment under an LC Support shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever (other than for Fleet’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), and shall be made in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances and irrespective of whether or not any or all Borrowers may assert or have any claim for any lack of validity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents; the existence of any Default or Event of Default; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; the existence of any setoff or defense any Obligor may have with respect to any of the Obligations; or the termination of the Commitments. 
  
 (v) Neither Fleet nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be liable to any Participating Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with any of the LC Documents except as a result of actual gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Fleet.
Fleet does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or breach by any or all Borrowers or any other Person of any of its obligations under any of the LC Documents. Fleet does not make to Participating Lenders any express
or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, the LC Documents, or any Obligor. Fleet shall not be responsible to any Participating Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties
contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any of the LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any of the Collateral or the perfection of any
Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Borrower or any other Obligor or any Account Debtor. In connection with its administration of and enforcement of
rights or remedies under any of the LC Documents, Fleet shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting upon, any certification, notice or other communication in whatever form believed by Fleet, in good faith, to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Fleet may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its rights, powers and privileges under the LC Documents and shall be entitled
to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Fleet may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to the LC Documents and shall not be
liable for the negligence, default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Fleet with reasonable care. Fleet shall not have any 
  

 - 6 - 

 liability to any Participating Lender by reason of Fleet’s refraining to take any action under any
of the LC Documents without having first received written instructions from the Required Lenders to take such action. 
  
 (vi) Upon the request of any Participating Lender, Fleet shall furnish to such Participating Lender copies (to the extent then available
to Fleet) of each outstanding Letter of Credit and related LC Application and all other documentation pertaining to such Letter of Credit as may be in the possession of Fleet and reasonably requested from time to time by such Participating Lender.

  
 1.3.3. Cash Collateral Account. If any LC Outstandings,
whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding (i) at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) on any date that Availability is less than zero, or (iii) on or at any time after the Commitment
Termination Date, then Borrowers shall, on Fleet’s or Agent’s request, forthwith deposit with Agent, in cash, an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate amount of LC Outstandings. If Borrowers fail to make such deposit on the first Business
Day following Agent’s or Fleet’s demand therefor, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of the Required Lenders) advance such amount as Revolver Loans (whether or not an Out-of-Formula Condition is created thereby). Such cash (together
with any interest accrued thereon) shall be held by Agent in the Cash Collateral Account and may be invested, in Agent’s discretion, in Cash Equivalents. Each Borrower hereby pledges to Agent and grants to Agent a security interest in, for the
benefit of Agent in such capacity and for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, all Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all Obligations, whether or not then due or
payable. From time to time after cash is deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, Agent may apply Cash Collateral then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become
due and payable by Borrowers to Agent or any Lender with respect to the LC Outstandings that may be then outstanding. Neither any Borrower nor any other Person claiming by, through or under or on behalf of any Borrower shall have any right to
withdraw any of the Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account, including any accrued interest, provided that upon termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the payment and satisfaction of all of the LC Outstandings, any Cash
Collateral remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be returned to Borrowers unless an Event of Default then exists (in which event Agent may apply such Cash Collateral to the payment of any other Obligations outstanding, with any surplus to
be turned over to Borrowers). 
  
 1.3.4. Indemnifications.

  
 (i) In addition to any other indemnity which
any or all Borrowers may have to Agent or any Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and without limiting such other indemnification provisions, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend each of the Agent Indemnitees and Lender
Indemnitees and to hold each of the Agent Indemnitees and Lender Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims which any of the Agent Indemnitees or any of the Lender Indemnitees may (other than as the actual result of their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct) incur or be subject to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of (a) the issuance of, payment or failure to pay or any performance or failure to perform under any Letter of Credit or LC Support or (b) any suit,
investigation or proceeding as to which Agent or any Lender is or may become a party to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any LC Support or the payment or failure to pay thereunder. 
  
 (ii) Each Participating Lender agrees to indemnify and
defend each of the Fleet Indemnitees (to the extent the Fleet Indemnitees are not reimbursed by Borrowers or any other 
  

 - 7 - 

 Obligor, but without limiting the indemnification obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement), on a
Pro Rata basis, from and against any and all Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Fleet Indemnitees in any way related to or arising out of Fleet’s administration or enforcement of rights or remedies under
any of the LC Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby (including costs and expenses which Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 14.2 hereof), provided that no Participating Lender shall be liable to any of the Fleet
Indemnitees for any of the foregoing to the extent that they result solely from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Fleet Indemnitees. 
  
 SECTION 2. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES 
  
 2.1. Interest. 
  
 2.1.1. Rates of Interest. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of all unpaid principal amounts of the Revolver Loans
from the respective dates such principal amounts are advanced until paid (whether at stated maturity, on acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate indicated below: 
  
 (i) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as Base Rate
Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time; or 
  
 (ii) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as LIBOR Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the
applicable Interest Period selected by a Borrower in conformity with this Agreement. 
  
 Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of all unpaid principal amounts outstanding with respect to Term Loan Advances from the respective dates such principal amounts are advanced until paid
(whether at stated maturity, on acceleration, or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate indicated below: 
  
 (i) for Term Loan Advances made or outstanding in whole or in part as Base Rate Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate in
effect from time to time; or 
  
 (ii) for Term
Loan Advances made or outstanding in whole or in part as LIBOR Loans, the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period selected by a Borrower in conformity with this Agreement. 
  
 Upon determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period requested by
Borrowers, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone and, if so requested by Borrowers, confirm the same in writing. Such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all parties and for all
purposes. The applicable rate of interest for all Loans (or portions thereof) bearing interest based upon the Base Rate shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Base Rate, with such
adjustments to be effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate becomes effective. Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date on which such Loan is made, converted to a Loan of another
Type or continued as a LIBOR Loan to (but excluding) the date of any repayment thereof; provided, however, that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall be paid on such Loan. The Base Rate on the date
hereof is 4.75% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 5.75% per annum with respect to any portion of the Revolver Loans bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan and
is 6.0% per annum with respect to any portion of the Term Loan Advances bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan. 
  

 - 8 - 

 2.1.2 Conversions and Continuations. 
  
 (i) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to the giving
of a proper Notice of Conversion/Continuation as hereinafter described, elect (A) to continue all or any part of a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period therefor, to commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period, or
(B) to convert all or any part of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, that no outstanding Loans may be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans when any Default or Event of Default exists. Any
conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Any conversion or continuation made with respect to less than the entire outstanding balance of the Revolver Loans or the Term
Loan Advances must be allocated among Lenders on a Pro Rata basis, and the Interest Period for Loans converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans shall be coterminous for each Lender. 
  
 (ii) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans under Section 2.1.2(i), Rowe Companies
shall give Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) substantially in the form of Exhibit D, signed by an authorized officer of such Borrower, at least 1 Business Day before the requested conversion
date, in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans, and at least 3 Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of the proposed conversion or continuation. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be
converted or continued, the date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day) and whether the Loans are being converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans (and, if so, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto
and, in the absence of any specification by Borrowers of the Interest Period, an Interest Period of one month will be deemed to be specified) or Base Rate Loans. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans Borrowers
shall have failed to deliver the Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans. 
  
 2.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making or continuation of, or conversion into, each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall
select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which interest period shall commence on the date such LIBOR Loan is made and shall end on a numerically corresponding day in the first, second or
third month thereafter; provided, however, that: 
  
 (i) the initial Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Loan of another Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect
of such Revolver Loan shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Interest Period expires; 
  
 (ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
succeeding Business Day, provided that, if any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such
Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; 
  

 - 9 - 

 (iii) any Interest Period that begins on a day for which there is no numerically
corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month; 
  
 (iv) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of principal of a Loan shall extend beyond a date on which a Borrower is required to
make a scheduled payment of such portion of principal; and 
  
 (v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the last day of the Original Term. 
  
 2.1.4. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market or any Lender’s or Bank’s
position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then, and in any such event, Agent shall forthwith give notice (by
telephone confirmed in writing) to a Borrower of such determination. Until Agent notifies a Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Loans shall be
suspended, and such affected Loans then outstanding shall, at the end of the then applicable Interest Period or at such earlier time as may be required by Applicable Law, bear the same interest as Base Rate Loans. 
  
 2.1.5. Default Rate of Interest. Borrowers shall pay interest (before
as well as after entry of judgment thereon, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (i) with respect to the principal amount of any portion of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, all past due interest) that is not paid on the due date thereof (whether due at stated maturity, on demand, upon acceleration or otherwise) until paid in full; (ii) with respect to the principal amount of all of the Obligations (and,
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest) upon the earlier to occur of (x) a Borrower’s receipt of notice from Agent of the Required Lenders’ election to charge the Default Rate based upon the existence of any Event
of Default (which notice Agent shall send only with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders), whether or not acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations has been made, or (y) the commencement by or against any Borrower of
an Insolvency Proceeding whether or not under the circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii) hereof Agent elects to accelerate the maturity or demand payment of any of the Obligations; and (iii) with respect to the principal amount of any
Out-of-Formula Loans, whether or not demand for payment thereof has been made by Agent. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Default Rate shall apply and accrue on any judgment entered with respect to any of the Obligations and to
the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations during any Insolvency Proceeding of a Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agent and each Lender attendant upon the occurrence of an Event of Default are difficult to
ascertain or estimate and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Agent and Lender for such added cost and expense. 
  
 2.2. Fees. In consideration of Lender’s establishment of the Commitments in favor of Borrowers, and Agent’s agreement to serve as
collateral and administrative agent hereunder, Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the following fees: 
  
 2.2.1. Closing Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Initial Lenders, the closing fee set forth in the Fee Letter, which shall
be paid concurrently with the initial Loans hereunder. 
  

 - 10 - 

 2.2.2. Arrangement Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the sole benefit of Agent, an
arrangement fee of $75,000, which shall be paid concurrently with the initial Loans hereunder. 
  
 2.2.3. Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders a fee equal to the Applicable Margin per annum of the amount by which the Average
Revolver Loan Balance for any month (or portion thereof that the Commitments are in effect) is less than the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments, such fee to be paid on the first day of the following month; but if the Commitments are
terminated on a day other than the first day of a month, then any such fee payable for the month in which termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
  
 2.2.4 LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay: (i) to Agent, through its Treasury
and International Services Group, for the ratable account of each Participating Lender for Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin in effect for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as LIBOR Loans on a per annum basis based on the face amount of all
Letters of Credit outstanding, (ii) to Agent, through its Treasury and International Services Group, for its own account a Letter of Credit fronting fee of 0.125% per annum based on the average amount available to be drawn under all standby or
documentary Letters of Credit outstanding, and (iii) to Bank (without duplication of (i) or (ii) above) for its own account all normal and customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, processing and administration of
Letters of Credit, all of which fees and charges shall be fully earned upon issuance, renewal or extension (as the case may be) of each such Letter of Credit, shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month, and shall
not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of the Commitments or for any other reason. 
  
 2.2.5. Audit and Appraisal Fees. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse Agent and Lenders for all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection with all audits and appraisals of any Obligor’s books and records and such other matters pertaining to any Obligor or any Collateral as Agent shall deem appropriate. Borrowers shall reimburse
Agent and Lenders for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent or Lenders in connection with appraisals of any Collateral as Agent shall deem appropriate and shall pay to Agent the standard amount charged by Agent per day ($750 per day as
of the Closing Date) for each day that an employee or agent of Agent shall be engaged in an examination or review of any Borrower’s books and records. 
  
 2.2.6. Collateral Management and Agency Fee. In consideration of Fleet’s syndication of the Commitments and service as Agent hereunder,
Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Agent, for the sole benefit of Agent, a collateral management and agency fee of $5,000, per month, which fee shall be payable, in arrears, on the first Business day of each month; but if
the Commitments are terminated on a day other than the first Business Day of a month, then any such fee payable for the month in which termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
  
 2.2.7 General Provisions. All fees shall be fully earned by the
identified recipient thereof pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement and the Fee Letter on the due date thereof (and, in the case of Letters of Credit, upon each issuance, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit) and, except as
otherwise set forth herein or required by Applicable Law, shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees provided for in Section 2.2 are and shall be deemed to be compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed
to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. 
  
  

 - 11 - 

 2.3. Computation of Interest and Fees. All fees and other charges provided for in this
Agreement that are calculated as a per annum percentage of any amount and all interest shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. For purposes of computing interest and other charges
hereunder, all Payment Items and other forms of payment received by Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) on the Business Day that Agent receives such items in immediately
available funds in the Payment Account, and Agent shall be deemed to have received such Payment Item on the date specified in Section 4.8 hereof. 
  
 2.4. Reimbursement of Obligations. 
  
 2.4.1. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent and, during any period that an Event of Default exists, each Lender, for all reasonable legal, accounting,
appraisal and other third-party fees and expenses actually incurred by Agent or any Lender in connection with (i) the negotiation and preparation of any of the Loan Documents, any amendment or modification thereto, any waiver of any Default or Event
of Default thereunder, or any restructuring or forbearance with respect thereto; (ii) the administration of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, to the extent that such fees and expenses are expressly provided for in this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (iii) action taken to perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of any of Agent’s Liens with respect to any of the Collateral; (iv) any inspection of or audits conducted with respect to any
Borrower’s books and records or any of the Collateral; (v) any effort to verify, protect, preserve, or restore any of the Collateral or to collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon any of the Collateral; (vi) any
litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or against Agent, any Lender, any Obligor or any other Person) in any way arising out of or relating to any of the Collateral (or the validity, perfection or priority of
any of Agent’s Liens thereon), any of the Loan Documents or the validity, allowance or amount of any of the Obligations; (vii) the protection or enforcement or any rights or remedies of Agent or any Lender in any Insolvency Proceeding; and
(viii) any other action taken by Agent or any Lender to enforce any of the rights or remedies of Agent or such Lender against any Obligor or any Account Debtors to enforce collection of any of the Obligations or payments with respect to any of the
Collateral. In no event, however, shall this Section 2.4.1 obligate Borrowers to reimburse Agent and Lender for the same fee. If, for example, an Event of Default exists and Agent and each Lender retain counsel to represent their respective
interests, Borrowers would be obligated to reimburse Agent and each Lender for the amount of reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Agent and each Lender, even if all such counsel attended the same meeting or participated in the same conference call.
On the other hand, if during the existence of an Event of Default, Agent and Lenders agree to retain a single consultant to advise all of them, then Borrowers would not be obligated to reimburse Agent and each Lender for the amount of such
consultant’s reasonable fees so that the actual reimbursement obligation of Borrowers constituted a multiple of the actual costs incurred by Agent and Lenders. The foregoing examples are intended for illustrative and clarification purposes
only. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers under this Section 2.4 shall constitute Obligations that are secured by all of the Collateral and shall be payable on demand to Agent. Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for expenses incurred
by Agent in its administration of any of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 7 hereof or in any of the other Loan Documents. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other
provision of any of the Loan Documents regarding the reimbursement by Borrowers of costs, expenses or liabilities suffered or incurred by Agent or any Lender. 
  

2.4.2. If at any time Agent or (with the consent of Agent) any Lender shall agree to indemnify any Person (including Bank) against losses or damages
that such Person may suffer or incur in its dealings or transactions with any or all of Borrowers, or shall guarantee any liability or obligation of any or 
  

 - 12 - 

 all of Borrowers to such Person, or otherwise shall provide assurances of any Borrower’s payment or performance
under any agreement with such Person, including indemnities, guaranties or other assurances of payment or performance given by Agent or any Lender with respect to Cash Management Agreements, Hedging Agreements or Letters of Credit, then the
Contingent Obligation of Agent or any Lender providing any such indemnity, guaranty or other assurance of payment or performance, together with any payment made or liability incurred by Agent or any Lender in connection therewith, shall constitute
Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and Borrowers shall repay, on demand, any amount so paid or any liability incurred by Agent or any Lender in connection with any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance, except that repayment with
respect to any LC Support shall be due on the Reimbursement Date as provided in Section 1.3.1(iii). Nothing herein shall be construed to impose upon Agent or any Lender any obligation to provide any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance
except to the extent provided in Section 1.3 hereof. The foregoing agreement of Borrowers shall apply whether or not such indemnity, guaranty or assurance is in writing or oral and regardless of any Borrower’s knowledge of the existence
thereof, and shall be in addition to any other provision of the Loan Documents regarding reimbursement by Borrowers of costs, expenses or liabilities suffered or incurred by Agent or any Lender. 
  
 2.5. Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, on
demand, any and all reasonable and customary fees, costs or expenses which Agent or any Lender pays to a bank or other similar institution (including any fees paid by Agent or any Lender to any Participant) arising out of or in connection with
(i) the forwarding to a Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower by Agent or any Lender of proceeds of Loans made by Lenders to a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the depositing for collection by Agent or any Lender of any
Payment Item received or delivered to Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Agent may charge such reasonable and customary costs, fees and expenses to Borrowers based upon Agent’s good
faith estimate of such costs, fees and expenses as they are incurred by Agent or any Lender. 
  
 2.6. Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (i) any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBOR Loan or (ii) at any time such Lender determines that the
making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market, then such Lender shall
give after such determination Agent and any Borrower notice thereof and may thereafter (1) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender, whereupon any request by a Borrower for a LIBOR Loan shall be deemed a request for a Base
Rate Loan unless such Lender’s declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (which declaration shall be withdrawn promptly after the cessation of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above); and (2) require that all outstanding
LIBOR Loans made by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans, under the circumstances of clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.6 insofar as such Lender determines the continuance of LIBOR Loans to be impracticable, in which event all such
LIBOR Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans as of the date of any Borrower’s receipt of the aforesaid notice from such Lender. 
  
 2.7. Increased Costs. If, by reason of (a) the introduction after the date hereof of or any change (including any change by way of
imposition or increase of Statutory Reserves or other reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or
quasi-Governmental Authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law): 
  
 (i) any Lender shall be subject after the date hereof, to any Tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan or its obligation
to make LIBOR Loans, or a change shall result in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans (except for changes in the rate of Tax on the overall net income
or gross receipts of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office is located); or 
  

 - 13 - 

 (ii) any reserve (including any imposed by the Board of Governors), special deposits or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans shall be
imposed on such Lender or the London interbank market; 
  
 and as a result thereof
there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans (except to the extent already included in the determination of the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Loans), or there
shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender, then such Lender shall, promptly after determining the existence or amount of any such increased costs for which such Lender seeks payment hereunder, give any Borrower notice
thereof and Borrowers shall from time to time, upon written notice from and demand by such Lender (with a copy of such notice and demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender, within 5 Business Days after the date specified in such
notice and demand, an additional amount sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such increased costs. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrowers by such Lender, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 If any Lender shall advise
Agent at any time that, because of the circumstances described hereinabove in this Section 2.7 or any other circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or the London interbank market or such Lender’s or
Bank’s position in such market, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as determined by Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding LIBOR Loans, then, and in any such event: 
  
 (i) Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Borrowers and Lenders of such event; 
  
 (ii) Borrowers’ right to request and such Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Loans shall be immediately suspended and Borrowers’ right to continue a LIBOR Loan as such beyond the then applicable Interest
Period shall also be suspended, until each condition giving rise to such suspension no longer exists; and 
  
 (iii) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of the requested Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all
purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing. 
  
 For purposes
of this Section 2.7, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender. 
  
 2.8. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that after the date hereof (a) the adoption of any Applicable Law regarding capital
requirements for banks or bank holding companies or the subsidiaries thereof, (b) any change in the interpretation or administration of any such Applicable Law by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or 
  

 - 14 - 

 administration thereof, or (c) compliance by such Lender or its holding company with any request or directive of any such
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender could have
achieved (taking into consideration such Lender’s and its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption, change or compliance and assuming that such Lender’s capital was fully utilized
prior to such adoption, change or compliance) but for such adoption, change or compliance as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make the Loans pursuant hereto by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material: 
  
 (i) Agent shall promptly, after its receipt of a certificate
from such Lender setting forth such Lender’s determination of such occurrence, give notice thereof to any Borrower and Lenders; and 
  
 (ii) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of such Lender, as an additional fee from time to time, on demand, such amount
as such Lender certifies to be the amount reasonably calculated to compensate such Lender for such reduction. 
  
 A certificate of such Lender claiming entitlement to compensation as set forth above will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate
will set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to such Lender (including the basis for such Lender’s determination of such amount), and the method by which such amounts
were determined. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method. For purposes of this Section 2.8 all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent
of such Lender. 
  
 2.9. Funding Losses. If for any
reason (other than due to a default by a Lender or as a result of a Lender’s refusal to honor a LIBOR Loan request due to circumstances described in Section 2.6 or 2.7 hereof) a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of,
LIBOR Loans does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/ Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), or if any repayment (including any conversions pursuant to Section 2.1.2 hereof) of any of
its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if for any reason Borrowers default in their obligation to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement, then Borrowers shall
jointly and severally pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the affected Lenders, within 10 days after Agent’s or an affected Lender’s demand therefor, an amount (if a positive number) computed pursuant to the following formula:

  

			
	L =	  	(R - T) x P x D
	 	  	        360
	where	  	 
		
	L =	  	amount payable
	R =	  	interest rate applicable to the LIBOR Loan unborrowed or prepaid
	T =	  	effective interest rate per annum at which any readily marketable bond or other obligations of the United States, selected at Agent’s sole discretion, maturing on or nearest the last day
of the then applicable or requested Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and in approximately the same amount as such LIBOR Loan, can be purchased by Agent on the day of such payment of principal or failure to borrow

  

 - 15 - 

			
	P =	  	the amount of principal paid or the amount of the LIBOR Loan requested or to have been continued or converted
	D =	  	the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as of the date of such prepayment or the number of days in the requested Interest Period

  
 Borrowers shall pay such amount upon
presentation by Agent of a statement setting forth the amount and Agent’s calculation thereof pursuant hereto, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. For purposes of this Section 2.9, all references to a
Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender. 
  
 2.10. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for,
charged or received by Agent and Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law. No agreements,
conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the exercise by Agent of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any
option whatsoever contained in any of the Loan Documents, or the prepayment by any or all Borrowers of any of the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle Agent or any Lender to charge or receive in any event,
interest or any charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by Applicable Law (such interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to herein collectively as “Interest”) in excess of the Maximum Rate and in no event shall
Borrowers be obligated to pay Interest exceeding such Maximum Rate, and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrowers to pay Interest exceeding the
Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate. If any Interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Rate (“Excess”), each Borrower
acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal Obligations and the balance, if any, returned
to Borrowers, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. The right to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any Interest that has not
otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Agent and Lenders do not intend to collect any unearned Interest in the event of any such acceleration. Each Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in
Section 2.1.1 of this Agreement or in the Term Note, and the Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result could inadvertently occur. All monies paid to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity
or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent required by Applicable Law. By the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the
acceptance by such Borrower of such Excess, and (ii) no Borrower shall seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Agent or any Lender, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of
the Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by Agent or any Lender, all Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from any or all Borrowers in connection with
any of the Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations. Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted
under Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium 
  

 - 16 - 

 rather than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The provisions of this Section
2.10 shall be deemed to be incorporated into every Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to therein). All such Loan Documents and communications relating to any Interest owed by any or all Borrowers and all
figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of Obligations, be automatically recomputed by Borrowers, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by this Section
2.10. 
  
 SECTION 3. LOAN ADMINISTRATION 
  
 3.1. Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans.
Borrowings under the Commitments established pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof shall be made and funded as follows: 
  
 3.1.1. Notice of Borrowing. 
  
 (i) Whenever Borrowers desire to make a Borrowing under Section 1.1 of this Agreement (other than a Borrowing resulting from a
conversion or continuation pursuant to Section 2.1.2), Borrowers shall give Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of such Borrowing request (a “Notice of Borrowing”), which shall be in the
form of Exhibit E annexed hereto and signed by an authorized officer of Rowe Companies. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be given by such Borrower no later than 12:00 noon at the office of Agent designated by Agent from time to time (a)
on the Business Day of the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (b) at least 3 Business Days prior to the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 12:00
noon shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender on the Closing Date shall be in excess of $250,000 and shall be made as Base Rate Loans and thereafter may be made or continued as or converted into Base
Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice thereof) shall be irrevocable and shall specify (a) the principal amount of the Borrowing, (b) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (c) whether the Borrowing
is to consist of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, (d) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (e) the account of Borrowers to which the proceeds of such Borrowing are to be disbursed. Borrowers
may not request any LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default exists. 
  
 (ii) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents with respect to the Obligations (whether as
principal, accrued interest, fees or other charges including the repayment of any LC Outstandings) shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the due date
of, and in an aggregate amount required to pay, such Obligations, and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. Neither Agent nor any Lender
shall have any obligation to Borrowers to honor any deemed request for a Revolver Loan after the Commitment Termination Date, when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or would result therefrom or when any condition precedent set forth in Section
10 hereof is not satisfied, but may do so in their discretion and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such Revolver Loan is funded after the
Commitment Termination Date. 
  
 (iii) If
Borrowers elect to establish a Deposit Account (including a Controlled Disbursement Account) with Bank or any Affiliate of Bank, or Borrowers otherwise incur Banking 
  

 - 17 - 

 Relationship Debt, then the presentation for payment by Bank of any check or other item of payment drawn
on the Controlled Disbursement Account or the becoming due of any Banking Relationship Debt (other than Banking Relationship Debt relating to or arising out of Hedging Agreements with Bank) at a time when there are insufficient funds in such Deposit
Account to cover such check or Banking Relationship Debt (other than Banking Relationship Debt relating to or arising out of Hedging Agreements with Bank) shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a
Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation or becoming due of Banking Relationship Debt (other than Banking Relationship Debt relating to or arising out of Hedging Agreements with Bank) and in any amount equal to the
aggregate amount of the items presented for payment or the amount of Banking Relationship Debt (other than Banking Relationship Debt relating to or arising out of Hedging Agreements with Bank) that has become due, and the proceeds of such Revolver
Loans may be disbursed to the Controlled Disbursement Account or other Deposit Account with Bank or any Affiliate of Bank and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to honor any deemed request
for a Revolver Loan after the Commitment Termination Date or when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or would result therefrom or when any condition precedent in Section 10 hereof is not satisfied, but may do so in its discretion and without
regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such Revolver Loan is funded after the Commitment Termination Date. 
  
 (iv) As an accommodation to Borrowers, Agent and Lenders may
permit telephonic requests for Borrowings and electronic transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Agent by Borrowers; provided, however, that Borrowers shall confirm each such telephonic request for a
Borrowing of LIBOR Loans by delivery of the required Notice of Borrowing to Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m. on the same day. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability to Borrowers for any
loss or damage suffered by such Borrowers as a result of Agent’s or any Lender’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically or
electronically and purporting to have been sent to Agent or Lenders by a Borrower and neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending it. 

 
 3.1.2. Fundings by Lenders. Subject to its receipt of notice from
Agent of a Notice of Borrowing as provided in Section 3.1.1(i) (except in the case of a deemed request by a Borrower for a Revolver Loan as provided in Sections 3.1.1(ii) or (iii) or 3.1.3(ii) hereof, in which event no
Notice of Borrowing need be submitted), each Lender shall timely honor its Revolver Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans that is properly requested by a Borrower and that such Borrower is entitled to receive
under this Agreement. Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 3.1.1(ii) or (iii) hereof) by 12:00 noon on the proposed funding date (in the case of Base
Rate Loans) or by 2:00 p.m. at least 2 Business Days before the proposed funding date (in the case of LIBOR Loans). Each Lender shall deposit with Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the Borrowing requested or deemed requested by such
Borrower at Agent’s designated bank in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of funding of such Borrowing, unless Agent’s notice to Lenders is received after 12:00 noon on the proposed funding date of a Base Rate
Loan, in which event Lenders shall deposit with Agent their respective Pro Rata shares of the requested Borrowing on or before 11:00 a.m. of the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Agent shall make the proceeds of
the Revolver Loans received by it available to such Borrower by disbursing such proceeds in accordance with such Borrower’s disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any
liability on account of any 
  

 - 18 - 

 delay by any bank or other depository institution in treating the proceeds of any Revolver Loan as collected funds or any
delay in receipt, or any loss, of funds that constitute a Revolver Loan, the wire transfer of which was initiated by Agent in accordance with wiring instructions provided to Agent. Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior
to the proposed time of funding that such Lender does not intend to deposit with Agent an amount equal such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the requested Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 3.1.1(ii) or
(iii) hereof), Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent and Agent may in its discretion disburse a corresponding amount to such Borrower on the applicable funding date. If a Lender’s
Pro Rata share of such Borrowing is not in fact deposited with Agent, then, if Agent has disbursed to such Borrower an amount corresponding to such share, then such Lender agrees to pay, and in addition Borrowers jointly and severally agree to
repay, to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed by Agent to or for the benefit of such Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent,
(a) in the case of Borrowers, at the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing and (b) in the case of such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender repays to Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute a
Revolver Loan, and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall have repaid such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrowers such corresponding amount in same day funds. A notice from Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to
amounts owing under this Section 3.1.2 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
  
 3.1.3. Settlement and Settlement Loans. 
  
 (i) In order to facilitate the administration of the Revolver Loans under this Agreement, Lenders agree (which agreement shall be solely
between Lenders and Agent and shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that settlement among them with respect to the Revolver Loans may take place on a periodic basis on dates determined from time to time by Agent (each a
“Settlement Date”), which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default and whether or not all of the conditions set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement have been met. On each
Settlement Date, payment shall be made by or to each Lender in the manner provided herein and in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Agent to Lenders with respect to such Settlement Date so that, as of each Settlement Date and after
giving effect to the transaction to take place on such Settlement Date, each Lender shall hold its Pro Rata share of all Revolver Loans and participations in LC Outstandings then outstanding. Agent shall request settlement with the Lenders on a
basis not less frequently than once every 5 Business Days. 
  
 (ii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent may request Fleet to advance, and Fleet may, but shall in no event be obligated to, advance to Borrowers out of Fleet’s own funds the entire principal amount of any Borrowing
of Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans requested or deemed requested pursuant to this Agreement (any such Revolver Loan funded exclusively by Fleet being referred to as a “Settlement Loan”). Each Settlement Loan shall constitute a
Revolver Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and security applicable to other Revolver Loans, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to Fleet solely for its own account. The obligation of Borrowers to repay
such Settlement Loans to Fleet shall be evidenced by the records of Fleet and need not be evidenced by any promissory note. Agent shall not request Fleet to make any Settlement Loan if (A) Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender
that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 10 hereof will not be satisfied on the requested funding date for the applicable Borrowing or (B) the requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of Availability on
the funding date or would cause the then outstanding principal balance of all Settlement Loans to exceed $5,000,000. Fleet shall not be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 10 hereof have been
satisfied or the 
  

 - 19 - 

 requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of Availability on the funding date applicable thereto prior
to making, in its sole discretion, any Settlement Loan. On each Settlement Date, or, if earlier, upon demand by Agent for payment thereof, the then outstanding Settlement Loans shall be immediately due and payable. As provided in Section
3.1.1(ii), Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested (without the necessity of submitting any Notice of Borrowing) Revolver Loans to be made on each Settlement Date in the amount of all outstanding Settlement Loans and to have Agent cause the
proceeds of such Revolver Loans to be applied to the repayment of such Settlement Loans and interest accrued thereon. Agent shall notify the Lenders of the outstanding balance of Revolver Loans prior to 11:00 a.m. on each Settlement Date and each
Lender (other than Fleet) shall deposit with Agent (without setoff, counterclaim or reduction of any kind) an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the amount of Revolver Loans deemed requested in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m.
on such Settlement Date. Each Lender’s obligation to make such deposit with Agent shall be absolute and unconditional, and without regard to whether any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 10 hereof are satisfied, any
Out-of-Formula Condition exists or the Commitment Termination Date has occurred. If as the result of the commencement by or against any Borrower of any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise any Settlement Loan may not be repaid by the funding by
Lenders of Revolver Loans, then each Lender (other than Fleet) shall be deemed to have purchased as a participating interest in any unpaid Settlement Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata share of such Settlement Loan and shall
transfer to Fleet, in immediately available funds, not later than the second Business Day after Fleet’s request therefor, the amount of such Lender’s participation. The proceeds of Settlement Loans may be used solely for purposes for which
Revolver Loans generally may be used in accordance with Section 1.1.3 hereof. If any amounts received by Fleet in respect of any Settlement Loans are later required to be returned or repaid by Fleet to any or all Borrowers or any other
Obligor or their respective representatives or successors-in-interest, whether by court order, settlement or otherwise, the other Lenders shall, upon demand by Fleet with notice to Agent, pay to Agent for the account of Fleet, an amount equal to
each other Lender’s Pro Rata share of all such amounts required to be returned by Fleet. 
  
 3.1.4. Disbursement Authorization. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested by any Borrower, or deemed to be requested pursuant to Section
3.1.1 or Section 3.1.3(ii), as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under Section 3.1.1(i) shall be disbursed by Agent in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrowers in the case
of the initial Borrowing, and, in the case of each subsequent Borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by any Borrower and Agent from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from such Borrower; and
(ii) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under Section 3.1.1(ii) or Section 3.1.3(ii) shall be disbursed by Agent by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation. Any Loan proceeds received by any
Borrower or in payment of any of the Obligations shall be deemed to have been received by all Borrowers. 
  
 3.2. Defaulting Lender. If any Lender shall, at any time, fail to make any payment to Agent or Fleet that is required hereunder, Agent may,
but shall not be required to, retain payments that would otherwise be made to such defaulting Lender hereunder and apply such payments to such defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations hereunder, at such time, and in such order, as Agent may
elect in its sole discretion. With respect to the payment of any funds from Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to Agent, the party failing to make the full payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, upon demand by the other party, pay such
amount together with interest on such amount at the Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Revolver Loan or any payment in respect of an LC Outstanding shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
to fund its portion of the Revolver Loan or payment in respect of an LC Outstanding on the date of Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any 
  

 - 20 - 

 Revolver Loan or payment in respect of an LC Outstanding to be made by such Lender on the date of any Borrowing. Solely
as among the Lenders and solely for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to any of the Loan Documents, Collateral or any Obligations and determining a defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata share of payments and proceeds of Collateral
pending such defaulting Lender’s cure of its defaults hereunder, a defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0). The provisions of this Section 3.2
shall be solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and may not be enforced by Borrowers. 
  
 3.3. Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans. 
  
 3.3.1. Number of LIBOR Loans. In no event may the number of LIBOR Loans outstanding at any time to any Lender exceed 4. 
  

3.3.2 Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 3.1.1(i), and each continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans
pursuant to Section 2.1.2 hereof, shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. 
  
 3.3.3 LIBOR Lending Office. Each Lender’s initial LIBOR Lending Office is set forth opposite its name on the signature pages hereof. Each
Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to designate a different office of itself or of any Affiliate as such Lender’s LIBOR Lending Office, and to transfer any outstanding LIBOR Loans to such LIBOR Lending Office. No such
designation or transfer shall result in any liability on the part of Borrowers for increased costs or expenses resulting solely from such designation or transfer (except any such transfer that is made by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.6
hereof, or otherwise for the purpose of complying with Applicable Law). Increased costs or expenses resulting from a change in Applicable Law occurring subsequent to any such designation or transfer shall be deemed not to result solely from such
designation or transfer. 
  
 3.3.4 Funding of LIBOR Loans.
Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBOR Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such
LIBOR Loans; provided, however, that such LIBOR Loans shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of Borrowers to repay such LIBOR Loans shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the
account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. The calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under Section 2.7 and 2.9 shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded or committed to fund its LIBOR
Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans; provided, however, each Lender may fund its
LIBOR Loans in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing presumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under Section 2.7 and Section 2.9. 
  
 3.4. Borrowers’ Representative. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Rowe Companies and Rowe
Companies agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of itself and each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement, including requesting Borrowings, selecting whether any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest
as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from Agent. Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, disbursement instructions, reports, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or any other notice or communication made or given by Rowe Companies, whether in its own name, on behalf of any Borrower or on behalf of “the
Borrowers,” and Agent shall have no obligation to make any inquiry or request any 
  

 - 21 - 

 confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such Notice of
Borrowing, Notice of Conversion Continuation, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ liability for the Obligations be affected,
provided that the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall not be construed so as to preclude any Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other actions permitted to be taken by “a Borrower” hereunder. Agent may maintain a
single Loan Account in the name of “Rowe Companies” hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of such Borrower’s
liability for the Obligations. 
  
 3.5. All Loans to
Constitute One Obligation. The Loans shall constitute one general Obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Security Document) shall be secured by Agent’s Lien upon all of the Collateral; provided,
however, that Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of each Borrower and the holder of a separate claim against each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly and severally owed by Borrowers to Agent or such Lender.

  
 SECTION 4. PAYMENTS 
  
 4.1. General Repayment Provisions. All payments (including all
prepayments) of principal of and interest on the Loans, LC Outstandings and other Obligations that are payable to Agent or any Lender shall be made to Agent in Dollars without any offset or counterclaim and free and clear of (and without deduction
for) any present or future Taxes, and, with respect to payments made other than by application of balances in the Payment Account, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the due date (and payment made after such time on the due
date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). All payments received by Agent shall be distributed by Agent in accordance with Section 4.7 hereof, subject to the rights of offset that Agent may have as to amounts
otherwise to be remitted to a particular Lender by reason of amounts due Agent from such Lender under any of the Loan Documents. 
  
 4.2. Repayment of Revolver Loans. 
  
 4.2.1. Payment of Principal. The outstanding principal amounts with respect to the Revolver Loans shall be repaid as follows: 
  
 (i) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders (or, in the case of Settlement Loans, for the sole benefit of Fleet) unless timely converted to a LIBOR Loan in accordance with this
Agreement, immediately upon (a) each receipt by Agent, any Lender or Borrower of any proceeds of any of the Accounts or Inventory, to the extent of such proceeds, (b) the Commitment Termination Date, and (c) in the case of Settlement Loans, the
earlier of Fleet’s demand for payment or on each Settlement Date with respect to all Settlement Loans outstanding on such date. 
  
 (ii) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the principal amount of LIBOR Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent, for the Pro
Rata benefit of Lenders, unless converted to a Base Rate Loan or continued as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, immediately upon (a) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (b) the Commitment Termination
Date. In no event shall Borrowers be authorized to make a voluntary prepayment with respect to any Revolver Loan outstanding as a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless (x) otherwise agreed in writing by
Agent or Borrowers are otherwise expressly authorized or required by any other provision of this Agreement to pay any 
  

 - 22 - 

 LIBOR Loan outstanding on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and
(y) Borrowers pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, concurrently with any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan, any amount due Agent and Lenders under Section 2.9 hereof as a consequence of such prepayment. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Agreement, if an Out-of-Formula Condition shall exist, Borrowers shall, on the sooner to occur of Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower has obtained knowledge of such Out-of-Formula Condition, repay the
outstanding Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolver Loans by an amount equal to such excess; and, if such payment of Base Rate Loans is not sufficient to
eliminate the Out-of-Formula Condition, then Borrowers shall immediately either (a) deposit with Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, for application to any outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the same become due and
payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date) cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Out-of-Formula Condition, to be held by Agent pending disbursement of same to Lenders, but subject
to Agent’s Lien thereon and rights of offset with respect thereto, or (b) pay the Revolver Loans outstanding as LIBOR Loans to the extent necessary to eliminate such Out-of-Formula Condition and also pay to Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of
Lenders any and all amounts required by Section 2.9 hereof to be paid by reason of the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
  
 4.2.2. Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Revolver Loans shall be due and payable on (i) the first calendar
day of each month (for the immediately preceding month), computed through the last calendar day of the preceding month, with respect to any Revolver Loan (whether a Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan) and (ii) the last day of the applicable Interest
Period in the case of a LIBOR Loan. Accrued interest shall also be paid by Borrowers on the Commitment Termination Date. With respect to any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.1.2 on a day when interest would not
otherwise have been payable with respect to such Base Rate Loan, accrued interest to the date of such conversion on the amount of such Base Rate Loan so converted shall be paid on the conversion date. 
  
 4.3. Repayment of Term Loan Advances. 
  
 4.3.1. Payment of Principal. Each Term Note shall be paid in
consecutive quarterly installments, the first 19 of which shall be in an amount equal to the holder’s Pro Rata share of $250,000 per installment and shall be payable on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing on August 1, 2002, and
ending on February 1, 2007, and the final installment of which shall be in an amount equal to such holder’s Pro Rata share of the remaining principal balance of the Term Loan and shall be payable on May     ,
2007. Each installment shall be payable to Agent for the account and Pro Rata benefit of each Lender. Each Term Loan Advance, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable in full on the Commitment Termination Date. 
  
 4.3.2. Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on each Term Loan Advance
shall be due and payable on (i) the first calendar day of each month for the immediately preceding month, computed through the last calendar day of the preceding month, whether all or any portion of the Term Loan Advance bears interest as a Base
Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, (ii) the last day of the applicable Interest Period in the case of any portion of such Term Loan Advance that is a LIBOR Loan and (iii) the date of any prepayment of Term Loan Advances. Accrued interest shall also be paid
by Borrowers as and when payable in Section 4.3.4 in connection with any prepayment of Term Loan Advances and on the Commitment Termination Date. With respect to any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.1.2
on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable with respect to such Base Rate Loan, accrued interest to the date of such conversion on the amount of such Base Rate Loan so converted shall be paid on the conversion date. 
  
  

 - 23 - 

 4.3.3. Mandatory Prepayment of Term Loan Advances. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally
obligated to prepay the entire unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan Advances, and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, upon the Commitment Termination Date. Borrowers shall also be jointly and severally required to prepay the Term Loan
Advances as follows: 
  
 (i) Borrowers shall
prepay the Term Loan Advances in connection with dispositions of Equipment by any Borrower, as and when required by Section 7.4.2; and 
  
 (ii) Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan Advances from the Net Proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards paid in respect of any
Equipment or Real Estate unless Borrowers are authorized to use such Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.1.2(ii). 
  
 4.3.4. Optional Prepayments of Term Loan Advances. Borrowers may, at their option, prepay any portion of the Term Loan Advances consisting of Base
Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in amounts aggregating $500,000 or any greater integral multiple of $100,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with interest accrued or unpaid thereon to the date of
prepayment and any applicable prepayment premium set forth below. Any portion of the Term Loan Advances consisting of LIBOR Loans may be prepaid, at Borrowers’ option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, in amounts aggregating
$1,000,000 or any greater integral multiple thereof, together with any applicable charges pursuant to Section 2.9. Borrowers shall give written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) to the Agent of any intended prepayment not
less than 1 Business Day prior to any prepayment of Base Rate Loans and not less than 2 Business Days prior to any prepayment of LIBOR Loans. Such notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and, upon receipt of any such notice of optional prepayment,
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s share of the prepayment. If Borrowers shall prepay any of the Term Loan Advances pursuant to this Section 4.3.4, then Borrowers shall be jointly and
severally obligated to pay a prepayment premium equal to 1.0% of the principal amount prepaid if prepayment occurs during the first Loan Year, 0.75% of the principal amount prepaid if prepayment occurs during the second Loan Year, and 0.5% of the
principal amount prepaid if prepayment occurs during the third Loan Year. In no event shall any prepayment premium be due or payable under this Section 4.3.4 in connection with any prepayment of the Term Loan Advances on the effective date of
termination of the Commitment, and the provisions of Section 5.2.3 shall govern in lieu of any prepayment premium. 
  
 4.3.5. Application of Prepayments. Each prepayment of Term Loan Advances shall be remitted by Borrowers to Agent to be allocated in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.7.1 and, to the extent allocable thereunder to any of the loans, allocated first to the Term Loans and distributed by Agent to each Lender on a Pro Rata basis. Each Lender shall apply its share of each prepayment,
first to accrued but unpaid interest, and the balance to installments of principal in the inverse order of their maturities, until such Lender’s Term Loan Advance is paid in full. Each Lender shall apply the portion of a prepayment that is to
be applied to principal installments first to outstanding Base Rate Loans and then to any outstanding LIBOR Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining; but if application to any LIBOR Loans would cause the same to be paid prior to the end of
an applicable Interest Period, then, by prior written notice to Lender, Borrowers may elect as to such LIBOR Loan to deliver cash to Agent in the amount of the required prepayment, to be held by Agent as Cash Collateral until the end of the
applicable Interest Period, at which time Agent shall disburse such Cash Collateral to Lenders on a Pro Rata basis for application to such LIBOR Loans. 
  

 - 24 - 

 4.4. Mandatory Prepayment of Obligations Generally. In addition to mandatory prepayments
required to be made pursuant to certain of the provisions of Section 4.3 hereof, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally required to prepay the Obligations as follows: 
  
 4.4.1. Borrowers shall, concurrently with the receipt by any Obligor of any Net Securities Proceeds, make a mandatory
prepayment of the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Securities Proceeds; provided, that this Section 4.4.1 shall not in any event be deemed a consent to any issuance of any Equity Interests by Borrowers or
any of their Subsidiaries which is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 4.4.2. Borrowers shall, concurrently with receipt by any Obligor of any Net Debt Proceeds, make a mandatory prepayment of the Obligations, in an aggregate
amount equal to 100% of such Net Debt Proceeds; provided that this Section 4.4.2 shall not in any event be deemed a consent to any issuance or incurrence of Debt by Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries which is otherwise prohibited
by the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 4.5. Payment of Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of money, including the LC Outstandings and Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender shall be repaid by Borrowers to Agent
for allocation among Agent and Lenders as provided in the Loan Documents, or, if no date of payment is otherwise specified in the Loan Documents, on demand. 
  
 4.6. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any
assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrowers make a payment or payments to Agent or Lenders or any of such Persons receives payment from the proceeds of
any Collateral or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of any loss by Agent or Lenders, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been made or received and any such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 4.6 shall survive any termination
of the Commitments and payment in full of the Obligations. 
  
 4.7. Agent’s Allocation of Payments and Collections. 
  
 4.7.1 Allocation of Payments. All monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether such monies represent voluntary payments by one or more Obligors or are received pursuant to demand for payment or realized
from any disposition of Collateral, shall be allocated among Agent and such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto (and, with respect to monies allocated to Lenders, on a Pro Rata basis unless otherwise provided herein): (i) first, to Agent to pay
principal and accrued interest on any portion of the Revolver Loans which Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and for which Agent has not been reimbursed by such Lender or Borrower; (ii) second, to Fleet to pay the principal and accrued
interest on any portion of the Settlement Loans outstanding, to be shared with Lenders that have acquired a participating interest in such Settlement Loans; (iii) third, to the extent that Fleet has not received from any Participating Lender a
payment as required by Section 1.3.2 hereof, to Fleet to pay all amounts owing to Fleet pursuant to Section 1.3.2(ii) hereof; (iv) fourth, to Agent to pay the amount of Extraordinary Expenses and amounts owing to Agent pursuant to
Section 14.10 hereof that have not been reimbursed to Agent by Borrower or Lenders, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans; (v) fifth, to Agent to pay any Indemnified Amount
that has not been paid to Agent by Obligors or 
  

 - 25 - 

 Lenders, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans; (vi)
sixth, to Agent to pay any fees due and payable to Agent; (vii) seventh, to Lenders for any Indemnified Amount that they have paid to Agent and any Extraordinary Expenses that they have reimbursed to Agent or themselves incurred, to the extent that
Lenders have not been reimbursed by Obligors therefor; (viii) eighth, to Fleet to pay principal and interest with respect to LC Outstandings (or to the extent any of the LC Outstandings are contingent and an Event of Default then exists, deposited
in the Cash Collateral Account to provide security for the payment of the LC Outstandings), which payment shall be shared with the Participating Lenders in accordance with Section 1.3.2(iii) hereof; (ix) ninth, to Lenders in payment of the
unpaid principal and accrued interest in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations (other than the Obligations described in clauses (iii) and (v) of such defined term and in clause (x) below) then outstanding to be shared among Lenders ratably
in proportion to their respective shares of such Loans and other Obligations(other than the Obligations described in clauses (iii) and (v) of such defined term and in clause (x) below), or on such other basis as may be agreed upon in writing by
Lenders (which agreement or agreements may be entered into without notice to or the consent or approval of Borrowers); (x) tenth, to the Secured Parties in payment of any Banking Relationship Debt, to be shared among such Secured Parties ratably;
and (xi) eleventh, to the Secured Parties in payment of any of the Obligations described in clauses (iii) (other than Banking Relationship Debt, which is the subject of subsection (x) above in this Section 4.7.1) and (v) of such defined term,
to be shared among the Secured Parties ratably. The allocations set forth in this Section 4.7 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Lenders as among themselves and may be changed by Agent and Lenders without notice to
or the consent or approval of Borrower or any other Person. 
  
 4.7.2. Erroneous Allocation. Agent shall not be liable for any allocation or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and, if any such allocation or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the
sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which such other Lenders are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return
to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). 
  
 4.8. Application of Payments and Collections. All Payment Items received by Agent by 12:00 noon on any Business Day shall be deemed received on that Business Day. All Payment Items received by Agent after 12:00 noon on any
Business Day shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and Collateral proceeds at any time or times hereafter received by Agent or any Lender
from or on behalf of such Borrower, and each Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and Collateral proceeds received at any time or times hereafter
by Agent or its agent against the Obligations, in such manner as provided in the Agreement or, if not expressly provided, as Agent may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Agent upon any of its books and records. If as the result of
Agent’s collection of proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral as authorized by Section 7.2.6 a credit balance exists, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be available to Borrowers at any time
or times for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Lenders may, at their option, offset such credit balance against any of the Obligations upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default. 
  
 4.9. Loan Accounts; the Register; Account Stated. 

 
 4.9.1. Loan Accounts. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and
interest payable to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under each Note payable to such Lender. 
  

 - 26 - 

 Any failure of a Lender to record in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligation of Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing hereunder to such Lender. 
  
 4.9.2. The Register. Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”) which shall include a master account and a subsidiary account for
each Lender and in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Loan comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and
amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrowers to each Lender hereunder or under the Notes,
and (iv) the amount of any sum received by Agent from Borrowers or any other Obligor and each Lender’s share thereof. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender at the offices of Agent at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any failure of Agent to record in the Register, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Agent. 
  
 4.9.3. Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each Loan Account shall constitute rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information contained therein; provided, however, that if a copy of information
contained in the Register or any Loan Account is provided to any Person, or any Person inspects the Register or any Loan Account, at any time or from time to time, then the information contained in the Register or the Loan Account, as applicable
shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, unless such Person notifies Agent in writing within 30 days after such Person’s receipt of such copy or such Person’s inspection of the Register or Loan
Account of its intention to dispute the information contained therein. 
  
 4.10. Gross Up for Taxes. If Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement to Agent or any Lender or any of the other Loan Documents,
(a) the sum payable to Agent or such Lender shall be deemed to be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) actually receives only an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been required, (b) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions, and (c) Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with Applicable Law. 
  
 4.11.
Withholding Tax Exemption. At least 5 Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any
state thereof agrees that it will deliver to Borrowers and Agent 2 duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payment under this Agreement
and its Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI further undertakes to deliver to Borrowers and Agent 2 additional copies of such form (or a successor
form) on or before the date that such form expires (currently, 3 successive calendar years for Form W-8BEN and one calendar year for Form W-8ECI) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the form so delivered by
it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, in each case, certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and its Notes without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders all such 
  

 - 27 - 

 forms inapplicable or that would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it
and such Lender advises Borrowers and Agent that it is not capable or receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes. 
  
 4.12. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability. 
  
 4.12.1. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be liable
for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by all other Borrowers of, all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loans or other extensions of
credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, it being acknowledged and agreed that Loans to any Borrower inure to the
mutual benefit of all Borrowers and that Agent and Lenders are relying on the joint and several liability of Borrowers in extending the Loans and other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees
that upon default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest owed on, any of the Loans or other Obligations, such Borrower shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or
demand. 
  
 4.12.2. Unconditional Nature of Liability. Each
Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Loans and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability,
avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Obligor or any
Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument
evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by Agent to take any steps to perfect or maintain the
perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations or Agent’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon
any Collateral, (v) Agent’s or Lenders’ election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other
Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any Obligor for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any amendment or modification of any
of the Loan Documents or waiver of any Default or Event of Default thereunder, (ix) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other charges payable in connection
therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the disallowance of all or any portion of Agent’s or any Lender’s claims for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that
might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice to any Obligor, against any or all of
Obligors to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Obligor or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any
provision that might otherwise require Agent under Applicable Law to pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or Obligor before pursuing another Obligor. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Agent shall be under no obligation to
marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. 
  

 - 28 - 

 4.12.3. No Reduction in Liability for Obligations. No payment or payments made by an Obligor or
received or collected by Agent from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed
to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement, each of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all Loans and other Obligations until the Obligations are
paid in full and this Agreement is terminated. 
  
 4.12.4.
Contribution. Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. If, as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made by a Borrower on account of the Obligations and
proceeds of such Borrower’s Collateral that are applied to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds actually used by such Borrower in its business (such excess amount being referred to as an “Accommodation
Payment”), then each of the other `Borrowers (each such Borrower being referred to as a “Contributing Borrower”) shall be obligated to make contribution to such Borrower (the “Paying Borrower”) in an amount equal to (A) the
product derived by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of each Borrower by the Allocable Percentage of the Borrower from whom contribution is sought less (B) the amount, if any, of the then outstanding Accommodation Payment of
such Contributing Borrower (such last mentioned amount which is to be subtracted from the aforesaid product to be increased by any amounts theretofore paid by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder, and to be decreased by any
amounts theretofore received by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder); provided, however, that a Paying Borrower’s recovery of contribution hereunder from the other Borrowers shall be limited to that amount
paid by the Paying Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of all Accommodation Payments then outstanding of all Borrowers. As used herein, the term “Allocable Percentage” shall mean, on any date of determination thereof, a fraction
the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of Borrowers who are parties to this Agreement on such date and the numerator of which shall be 1; provided, however, that such percentages shall be modified in the event that
contribution from a Borrower is not possible by reason of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise by reducing such Borrower’s Allocable Percentage equitably and by adjusting the Allocable Percentage of the other Borrowers proportionately so that
the Allocable Percentages of all Borrowers at all times equals 100%. 
  
 4.12.5. Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Obligor, and any successor or assign of any
other Obligor, including any trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to the payment in full of all of the Obligations. 
  
 SECTION 5. ORIGINAL TERM AND TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS 
  
 5.1. Original Term of Commitments. Subject to each
Lender’s right to cease making Loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers when any Default or Event of Default exists or upon termination of the Commitments as provided in Section 5.2 hereof, the Commitments shall be in effect for
a period of 5 years from the date hereof, through the close of business on May 15, 2007 (the “Original Term”). 
  
 5.2. Termination. 
  
 5.2.1. Termination by Agent. Agent shall upon the direction of the Required Lenders (and may, in its discretion, at any time there are more than 2
Lenders party hereto) terminate the Commitments without notice upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default; provided, however, that the Commitments shall automatically terminate as provided in Section 11.2 hereof.

  
  

 - 29 - 

 5.2.2. Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least 30 days prior written notice to Agent, any Borrower
may, at its option, terminate the Commitments; provided, however, no such termination by any Borrower shall be effective until Borrowers have satisfied all of the Obligations and executed in favor of and delivered to Agent and Lenders
a general release of all Claims that Borrowers may have against Agent or any Lender. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable unless Agent otherwise agrees in writing. Borrowers may elect to terminate the Commitments in
their entirety only. No section of this Agreement, Type of Loan available hereunder or Commitment may be terminated by Borrowers singly. 
  
 5.2.3. Termination Charges. On the effective date of termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 5.2.2, Borrowers shall be jointly
and severally obligated to pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders (in addition to the then outstanding principal, accrued interest, fees and other charges owing under the terms of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents), as
liquidated damages for the loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 1.0% of the Commitments if termination occurs during the first Loan Year; 0.75% of the Commitments if termination occurs during the second Loan Year; and 0.5% of
the Commitments if termination occurs during the third Loan Year. In no event shall any termination charge be payable if the effective date of termination occurs any time after the third Loan Year. 
  
 5.2.4. Effect of Termination. On the effective date of termination of
the Commitments by Agent or by Borrowers, all of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans and Fleet shall have no obligation to procure any Letters of Credit. All undertakings,
agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of each Borrower contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any such termination and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents
notwithstanding such termination until Borrowers have satisfied the Obligations to Agent and Lenders, in full, and Agent and Lenders have received from Obligors a full release of Claims in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. For purposes of
this Agreement, the Obligations shall not be deemed to have been satisfied until all Obligations for the payment of money have been paid to Agent in same day funds and all Obligations that are at the time in question contingent (including all LC
Outstandings that exist by virtue of an outstanding Letter of Credit) have been fully cash collateralized in favor and to the satisfaction of Agent or Agent has received as beneficiary a direct pay letter of credit in form and from an issuing bank
acceptable to Agent and providing for direct payment to Agent of all such contingent Obligations at the time they become fixed (including reimbursement of all sums paid by Agent under any LC Support). Notwithstanding the payment in full of the
Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its security interests in any of the Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of any Payment Items applied to the Obligations,
Agent shall have received either (i) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person deemed financially responsible by Agent whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying
Agent and Lenders from any such loss or damage; or (ii) such monetary reserves and Liens on the Collateral for such period of time as Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to protect Agent from any such loss or damage. The
provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 4.6, 4.10 and this Section 5.2.4 and all obligations of Borrowers to indemnify Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall in all events survive any
termination of the Commitments.

 SECTION 6. COLLATERAL SECURITY 
  
 6.1. Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance of all of the Obligations, each
Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of itself as Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all personal property of such Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter
created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located, including the following: 
  
 (i) All Accounts Collateral; 
  
 (ii) All Goods; including all Inventory and Equipment; 
  
 (iii) All Instruments; 
  
 (iv) All Chattel Paper; 
  
 (v) All Documents; 
  

(vi) All General Intangibles; 
  
 (vii) All Deposit Accounts; 
  
 (viii) All Investment Property (but excluding any portion thereof that constitutes (a) Margin Stock, unless otherwise expressly provided
in any Security Documents, or (b) Equity Interests in any Borrower); 
  
 (ix) All Letter-of-Credit Rights; 
  
 (x) All Supporting Obligations; 
  
  
 (xi) All monies now or at any time or times hereafter in the possession or under the control of Agent or a Lender or a bailee or Affiliate
of Agent or a Lender, including any Cash Collateral in the Cash Collateral Account; 
  
 (xii) All accessions to, substitutions for and all replacements, products and cash and non-cash proceeds of (i) through (xi) above,
including proceeds of and unearned premiums with respect to insurance policies insuring any of the Collateral and claims against any Person for loss of, damage to or destruction of any of the Collateral; and 
  
 (xiii) All books and records (including customer lists,
files, correspondence, tapes, computer programs, print-outs, and other computer materials and records) of such Borrower pertaining to any of (i) through (xii) above. 
  
 No security interest or Lien is granted to Agent or Lenders in, and in no event shall Collateral include, the Investment
Real Estate, personal property (including Equipment) located in or on the Investment Real Estate that is owned by tenants (other than any Borrower or other Obligor) of the Investment Real Estate. 
  
 6.2. Lien on Deposit Accounts. As additional security for the
payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of itself as Agent and for the benefit of the 
  

 - 31 - 

 Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon, and hereby collaterally assigns to Agent, all of such
Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to each Deposit Account of such Borrower and in and to any deposits or other sums at any time credited to each such Deposit Account, including any sums in any blocked account or any special lockbox
account and in the accounts in which sums are deposited. In connection with the foregoing, each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each such bank or other depository to pay or deliver to Agent upon its written demand therefor made at any time
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and without further notice to such Borrower (such notice being hereby expressly waived), all balances in each Deposit Account maintained by Borrower with such depository for
application to the Obligations then outstanding, and the rights given Agent in this Section 6.4 shall be cumulative with and in addition to Agent’s other rights and remedies in regard to the foregoing Property as proceeds of Collateral.
Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to collect any and all such balances to the extent any such payment is not made to Agent by such bank or other depository after demand thereon is made by Agent
pursuant hereto. 
  
 6.3. Real Estate Collateral.

  
 6.3.1 Real Estate. The due and punctual payment
and performance of the obligations shall also be secured by the Liens created by the Mortgages upon all Real Estate of each Borrower described therein. The Mortgages shall be executed by each appropriate Borrower in favor of Agent on or before the
Closing Date and shall be duly recorded, at Borrowers’ expense, in each office where such recording is required to constitute a fully perfected Lien upon the Real Estate covered thereby. Promptly after any Borrower’s obtaining any interest
in any real Property other than the Real Estate, such Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent, for Agent’s benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a mortgage, deed to secure debt, deed of trust, assignment or other document
satisfactory to Agent and sufficient to convey and perfect, upon recordation thereof in the proper real estate records, in favor of Agent a first priority Lien upon such interest in such other real Property as security for the payment or performance
of the Obligations. 
  
 6.3.2 Collateral Assignment of
Leases. To further secure to the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants, transfers and assigns to Agent, for the benefit of itself as Agent and for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, and hereby grants to
Agent, for the benefit of itself as Agent and for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a security interest in and Lien upon all of such Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under all now or hereafter existing leases of real Property to
which such Borrower is a party and under which such Borrower is the lessor, and all extensions, renewals and modifications thereof. 
  
 6.4. Other Collateral. In addition to the items of Property referred to in Section 6.1 above, the Obligations shall also be secured
by the Cash Collateral to the extent provided herein and all of the other items of Property from time to time described in any of the Security Documents as security for any of the Obligations. 
  
 6.5. No Assumption of Liability. The security interest granted
pursuant to this Agreement is granted as security only and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation of liability of any Borrower with respect to or arising out of the Collateral. 
  
 6.6. Lien Perfection; Further Assurances. Promptly after
Agent’s request therefor, Borrowers shall execute or cause to be executed and deliver to Agent such instruments, assignments, title certificates or other documents as are necessary under the UCC or other Applicable Law to perfect (or continue
the perfection of) Agent’s Lien upon the Collateral, and shall take such other action as may be requested by Agent to give effect to or carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Borrowers shall give Agent prompt 
  

 - 32 - 

 written notice at any time a Borrower commences a material Commercial Tort Claim against any Person and shall execute
such documents as are necessary under the UCC to grant to Agent and perfect Agent’s Lien in such Commercial Tort Claim. Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and file in any
jurisdiction any financing statement or amendment thereto on each Borrower’s behalf, including financing statements that indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets or all personal property of each Borrower (other than the Investment Real Estate)
or words to similar effect or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater or lesser detail, than as set forth in this Section 6. Each Borrower also hereby ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed in any jurisdiction
any like financing statement or amendment thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. The parties agree that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in any
appropriate office in lieu thereof. 
  
 SECTION 7. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

  
 7.1. General Provisions. 
  
 7.1.1. Location of Collateral. All tangible items of Collateral,
other than Inventory in transit, shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at one or more of the business locations of Borrowers set forth in Schedule 7.1.1 hereto and shall not be moved therefrom, without the prior written approval of
Agent, except that in the absence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations in consequence thereof, Borrowers may (i) make sales or other dispositions of any Collateral to the extent authorized by Section
9.2.10 hereof and (ii) move Inventory or Equipment or any record relating to any Collateral to a location in the United States other than those shown on Schedule 7.1.1 hereto so long as Borrowers have given Agent at least 30
Business Days prior written notice of such new location and prior to moving any Inventory or Equipment to such location there have been filed any UCC-1 financing statements and any other appropriate documentation necessary to perfect or continue the
perfection of Agent’s first priority Liens with respect to such Inventory or Equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrowers shall not be permitted to keep, store or otherwise maintain any Collateral
at any location (including any location described in Section 7.1.1), unless (i) a Borrower is the owner of such location, (ii) a Borrower leases such location and either (a) such location is a Warehouse Location and the landlord has executed
in favor of Agent a Landlord Waiver or (b) such location is not a Warehouse Location, or (iii) the Collateral consists of Inventory placed with a warehouseman, bailee or processor, Agent has received from such warehouseman, bailee or processor an
acceptable Lien waiver agreement and an appropriate UCC-1 financing statement has been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority in the jurisdiction where such warehouseman, bailee or processor is located in order to perfect, or to maintain
the uninterrupted perfection of, Agent’s security interest in such Inventory. 
  
 7.1.2. Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds. 
  
 (i) Each Borrower shall maintain and pay for insurance upon all Collateral, wherever located, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, theft,
malicious mischief, and such other risks in such amounts and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Schedule 7.1.2 describes all insurance of Borrowers in effect on the date hereof. Subject to the
provisions of Section 7.1.2(ii), all Net Proceeds payable under each such policy shall be payable to Agent for application to the Obligations. Each Borrower shall deliver the originals or certified copies of such policies to Agent with
satisfactory lender’s loss payable endorsements reasonably satisfactory to Agent, naming Agent as loss payee, assignee or additional insured, as appropriate. Each policy of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer
to give not less than 30 days prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause specifying that the interest of Agent shall not be impaired 
  

 - 33 - 

 or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower or the owner of the Property or by the occupation of the premises
for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. If any Borrower fails to provide and pay for such insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the same and charge each Borrower therefor. Each Borrower
agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in any reporting forms to insurance companies. For so long as no Event of Default exists, each Borrower shall have the right to settle, adjust and compromise any claim
with respect to any insurance maintained by each Borrower provided that all proceeds thereof are applied in the manner specified in this Agreement, and Agent agrees promptly to provide any necessary endorsement to any checks or drafts issued in
payment of any such claim. At any time that an Event of Default exists, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, Agent shall have all rights and remedies with respect to such policies of insurance as are provided
for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 (ii) Any
Net Proceeds of insurance referred to in this Section 7.1.2 and any Net Proceeds of condemnation awards that are paid to Agent in connection with a condemnation of any of the Collateral shall be paid to Agent and (a) in the case of proceeds
that relate to Inventory, applied first to the payment of the Revolver Loans and then to any other Obligations outstanding, and (b) in the case of proceeds of Equipment or Real Estate, applied first to the Term Loan, as determined by Agent, and then
to any other Obligations outstanding, provided that if requested by any Borrower in writing within 5 days after Agent’s receipt of such proceeds and if no Default or Event of Default exists, each Borrower shall be entitled to receive and apply
such proceeds to repair or replace the damaged or destroyed Equipment or Real Estate so long as (1) such repair or replacement is promptly undertaken and concluded, (2) replacements of buildings are constructed on the sites of the original
casualties and are of comparable size, and quality and utility to the destroyed buildings, (3) the repaired or replaced Property is at all times free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens that are not Purchase Money Liens, (4) each Borrower
complies with such disbursement procedures for such proceeds as Agent may reasonably impose for repair or replacement, (5) the amount of proceeds from any single casualty affecting Equipment or Real Estate does not exceed $500,000 and (6) the
repaired or replaced Property is, in Agent’s reasonable judgment, at least equal in value to the damaged or destroyed Property so repaired or replaced. 
  
 7.1.3. Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all
Taxes imposed under any Applicable Law on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof, and all other payments required to be made by Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral shall be borne and paid by Borrowers. Agent shall not
be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in Agent’s actual possession) or for any diminution in
the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk. 
  
 7.1.4. Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Borrower shall at all times defend its title to the Collateral and
Agent’s Liens therein against all Persons and all claims and demands whatsoever other than Permitted Liens. 
  
 7.2. Administration of Accounts. 
  
 7.2.1. Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections
thereon and shall submit to Agent on such periodic basis as Agent shall request a sales and collections report for the preceding period, in form satisfactory to Agent. Borrowers shall also provide to Agent on or before the 15th day of each month a
detailed aged trial balance of all Accounts existing as of the last day of the preceding Reporting Period, 
  

 - 34 - 

 specifying the names, addresses, face value, dates of invoices and due dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an
Account so listed (“Schedule of Accounts”), and, upon Agent’s request therefor, copies of proof of delivery and a copy of all documents, including repayment histories and present status reports relating to the Accounts so scheduled
and such other matters and information relating to the status of then existing Accounts as Agent shall reasonably request. In addition, if Accounts in an aggregate face amount in excess of $250,000 cease to be Eligible Accounts in whole or in part,
Borrowers shall notify Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within 2 Business Days) after any Borrower’s having obtained knowledge of such occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence.
Upon the request of Agent, each Borrower shall deliver to Agent copies of invoices or invoice registers related to all of its Accounts. 
  
 7.2.2. Discounts, Disputes and Returns. If any Borrower grants any discounts, allowances or credits that are not shown on the face of the invoice
for the Account involved, Borrowers shall report such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be, to Agent as part of the next required Schedule of Accounts. If any amounts due and owing in excess of $500,000 are in dispute between any
Borrower and any Account Debtor, or if any returns are made in excess of $500,000 with respect to any Accounts owing from an Account Debtor, Borrowers shall provide Agent with written notice thereof at the time of submission of the next Schedule of
Accounts, explaining in detail the reason for the dispute or return, all claims related thereto and the amount in controversy. At any time an Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right to settle or adjust all disputes and claims directly
with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of any Accounts comprising a part of the Collateral upon such terms and conditions as Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs and expenses
thereof, including attorneys’ fees, to Borrowers. 
  
 7.2.3.
Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes payable to any Governmental Authority, Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower
and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that neither Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due by any or all Borrowers. 
  
 7.2.4. Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or an Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right at
any time, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any Borrower to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of any Borrower by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Agent
in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process. 
  
 7.2.5. Maintenance of Dominion Account; Cash Management. Borrowers shall maintain Deposit Accounts (each a “Collection Account”) with banks that are selected by Borrowers and acceptable to Agent into
which all Payment Items received by the Retail Borrowers (except for de minimis amounts) shall be deposited on a daily basis. Borrowers shall direct each bank at which a Collection Account is maintained to transfer, on a daily basis, all
collected balances in each Collection Account maintained by Borrowers with such bank, by ACH (automated clearinghouse) transfer, to the Concentration Accounts. All of the funds contained in the Collection Accounts and the Concentration Accounts
shall be subject to a Lien in favor of Agent. Each of the Concentration Accounts shall constitute a Dominion Account. Borrowers also shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to a lockbox or other arrangement acceptable to Agent and, in the case of
each such Dominion Account and lockbox arrangement, with Bank or such other bank as may be selected by Borrowers and be acceptable to Agent, into which all Payment Items received by Borrowers other than the Retail Borrowers shall be deposited on a
daily basis. Borrowers shall issue to Bank or each such other lockbox bank an irrevocable letter of instruction directing Bank or such other bank to deposit all payments or 
  

 - 35 - 

 other remittances received in the lockbox to the applicable Dominion Account. Borrowers shall enter into agreements, in
form satisfactory to Agent, with Bank or each such other bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained by which Bank or such other bank shall immediately transfer to the Payment Account all monies deposited to a Dominion Account. All funds
deposited in each Dominion Account shall be subject to Agent’s Lien. Borrowers shall obtain the agreement (in favor of and in form and content satisfactory to Agent) by Bank or each such other bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained to
waive any offset rights against the funds deposited into such Dominion Account, except offset rights in respect of charges incurred in the administration of such Dominion Account. Neither Agent nor Lenders assume any responsibility to any or all
Borrowers for such lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by Bank or any such other bank thereunder. Subject to Bank’s ability or willingness to
provide services that are competitive with those offered by other banks or financial institutions, Borrowers shall transfer all of their Deposit Accounts (other than Deposit Accounts into which funds derived from Borrowers’ retail operations
are deposited in the Ordinary Course of Business) and system of cash management from existing banks or financial institutions to Bank. 
  
 7.2.6. Collection of Accounts and Proceeds of Collateral. To expedite collection, Borrowers shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection
of Borrowers’ Accounts for Agent and Lenders. All Payment Items received by any Borrower in respect of its Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by such Borrower as trustee of an express trust for
Agent’s benefit and shall immediately deposit same in kind into the Dominion Account. Agent retains the right at all times that a Default or an Event of Default exists to notify Account Debtors of each Borrower that Accounts have been assigned
to Agent and to collect Accounts directly in its own name and to charge to Borrowers the collection costs and expenses, incurred by Agent or Lenders, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. 
  
 7.3. Administration of Inventory. 
  
 7.3.1. Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep
accurate and complete records of its Inventory and shall furnish Agent and Lenders inventory reports respecting such Inventory in form and detail satisfactory to Agent and Lenders at such times as Agent and Lenders may request, but so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists, no more frequently than once each Reporting Period. Each Borrower shall, at Borrowers’ expense, conduct a physical inventory no less frequently than annually and periodic cycle counts consistent with such
Borrower’s historical practices and shall provide to Agent and Lenders a report based on each such physical inventory and cycle count promptly thereafter, together with such supporting information as Agent shall request. Agent may participate
in and observe each physical count or inventory, which participation shall be at Borrowers’ expense at any time that an Event of Default exists. 
  
 7.3.2. Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any of its Inventory to a supplier or vendor thereof, or any other Person, whether for cash,
credit against future purchases or then existing payables, or otherwise, unless (i) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Borrower and such Person; (ii) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom; (iii) the
return of such Inventory will not result in an Out-of-Formula Condition; (iv) Borrowers promptly notifies Agent thereof if the aggregate Value of all Inventory returned in any Reporting Period exceeds $500,000; and (v) any payments received by any
Borrower in connection with any such return are promptly turned over to Agent for application to the Obligations. 
  
 7.3.3. Acquisitions of Inventory. No Borrower shall acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval (except for the Retail Borrowers)
and each Borrower will use its best efforts to insure that all Inventory that is produced in the United States of America will be produced in accordance with the FLSA. 
  

 - 36 - 

 7.4. Administration of Equipment.

value of any of the Collateral described therein and (ii) to the extent that such calculation is not in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the amount of the Availability Reserve. 
  
 SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
  
 8.1. General Representations and Warranties. To induce Agent
and Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make available the Commitments, each Borrower warrants and represents to Agent and Lenders that: 
  
 8.1.1. Organization and Qualification. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each state or jurisdiction listed on

Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) violate, or cause any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to be in default under, any provision of any Applicable Law, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award in effect having

Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. 
  
 8.1.3. Legally
Enforceable Agreement. This Agreement is, and each of the other Loan Documents when delivered under this Agreement will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries signatories thereto enforceable
against them in accordance with the respective terms of such Loan Documents, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights. 
  
 8.1.4. Capital Structure. As of the date
hereof, Schedule 8.1.4 hereto states (i) the correct name of each Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of incorporation and the percentage of its Equity Interests having voting powers owned by each Person, (ii) the name of each corporate
Affiliate of each Borrower and the nature of the affiliation and (iii) the number of authorized and issued Equity Interests (and treasury shares) of each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries. Each Borrower has good title to all of the shares it

financial statements of Borrower referred to in Section 8.1.9 hereof, no Borrower has made, or obligated itself to make, any Distribution (other than Upstream Payments to Rowe Companies). 
  

 - 38 - 

 Except as set forth on Schedule 8.1.4 hereto, there are no outstanding options to purchase, or any rights
or warrants to subscribe for, or any commitments or agreements to issue or sell, or any Equity Interests or obligations convertible into, or any powers of attorney relating to, shares of the capital stock of any Borrower or any Subsidiary. Except as
set forth on Schedule 8.1.4 hereto, there are no outstanding agreements or instruments binding upon the holders of any Borrower’s Equity Interests relating to the ownership of its Equity Interests. 
  
 8.1.5. Corporate Names. During the 5-year period preceding the date of
this Agreement, no Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has been known as or used any corporate, fictitious or trade names except those listed on Schedule 8.1.5 hereto. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.1.5, no Borrower

 8.1.7. Title to
Properties; Priority of Liens. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to and fee simple ownership of, or valid and subsisting leasehold interests in, all of its real Property, and good title to all of the
personal Property owned by it, including all Property reflected in the financial statements referred to in Section 8.1.9 or delivered pursuant to Section 9.1.3, in each case free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. Each
Borrower has paid or discharged, and has caused each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might become a Lien against any Properties of such Borrower or such Subsidiary that is not a Permitted Lien. The Liens
granted to Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Security Documents are first priority Liens, subject only to those Permitted Liens which are expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement to have priority over the Liens of Agent.

  
 8.1.8. Accounts. Agent may rely, in determining which
Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and representations made by a Borrower with respect to any Account. Unless otherwise indicated in writing to Agent or excluded by Borrowers in their calculation of the Borrowing Base in any Borrowing
Base Certificate, with respect to each Account, Borrowers warrant that: 
  
 (i) It is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be, and it is not evidenced by a judgment; 
  
 (ii) It arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods by a Borrower in the Ordinary Course of its Business and
substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions of all purchase orders, contracts or other documents relating thereto and forming a part of the contract between a Borrower and the Account Debtor; 
  
 (iii) It is for a sum certain maturing as stated in the
duplicate invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a copy of which has been furnished or is available to Agent on request; 
  

 - 39 - 

 (iv) Such Account, and Agent’s security interest therein, is not, and will not (by
voluntary act or omission of a Borrower) be in the future, subject to any offset, Lien, deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim or any other adverse condition except for disputes resulting in returned goods where the amount in controversy is
deemed by Agent to be immaterial, and each such Account is absolutely owing to a Borrower and is not contingent in any respect or for any reason; 
  
 (v) The contract under which such Account arose does not condition or restrict a Borrower’s right to assign to Agent the right to
payment thereunder unless such Borrower has obtained the Account Debtor’s consent to such collateral assignment or complied with any conditions to such assignment (regardless of whether under the UCC or other Applicable Law any such
restrictions are ineffective to prevent the grant of a Lien upon such Account in favor of Agent); 
  
 (vi) Such Borrower has not made any agreement with any Account Debtor thereunder for any extension, compromise, settlement or modification
of any such Account or any deduction therefrom, except extensions for good cause to creditworthy Account Debtors of not more than 30 days and discounts or allowances which are granted by a Borrower in the Ordinary Course of Business, including, by
way of example, discounts for prompt payment and which are reflected in the calculation of the net amount of each respective invoice related thereto and are reflected in the Schedules of Accounts submitted to Agent pursuant to Section 7.2.1
hereof, deductions authorized for repairs, credits for returned goods and deductions for advertising and promotional allowances; 
  
 (vii) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which are reasonably likely to impair the
validity or enforceability of any of its Accounts or reduce the amount payable thereunder from the face amount of the invoice and statements delivered to Agent with respect thereto; 
  
 (viii) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, (1) the Account Debtor thereunder had the capacity to
contract at the time any contract or other document giving rise to the Account was executed and (2) such Account Debtor is Solvent; and 
  
 (ix) To the best of such Borrower’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending against any
Account Debtor thereunder and which are reasonably likely to result in any material adverse change in such Account Debtor’s financial condition or the collectibility of such Account. 
  
 8.1.9. Financial Statements. The Consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of Borrowers and such other Persons
described therein (including the accounts of all Subsidiaries of Borrowers for the respective periods during which a Subsidiary relationship existed) as of March 31, 2002, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholder’s equity,
and changes in financial position for the periods ended on such dates, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and present fairly the financial positions of Borrowers and such Persons at such dates and the results of Borrowers’ operations
for such periods. Since March 31, 2002, there has been no material change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrowers, on a Consolidated basis, as shown on the Consolidated balance sheet as of such date and no material change in the

funds equal to the LC Outstandings and, if Borrowers fail promptly to make such deposit, Agent may (and shall upon the direction of the Required Lenders) advance such amount as a Revolver Loan (whether or not an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or is
created thereby). Any such deposit or advance shall be held by Agent as a reserve to fund future payments on any LC Support. At such time as the LC Support have been paid or terminated and all Letters of Credit have been drawn upon or expired, any
amounts remaining in such reserve shall be applied against any outstanding Obligations, or, if all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, returned to Borrowers. 
  
 Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to use, license or sub-license (exercisable without payment of
royalty or other compensation to any Obligor or any other Person) any or all of each Borrower’s Intellectual Property and all of each Borrower’s computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and

deposits, general or special (including Debt evidenced by certificates of deposit whether matured or unmatured (but not including trust accounts)) and any other Debt at any time held or owing by Agent, such Lender or any of their Affiliates to or
for the credit or the account of any Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of Borrowers arising under the Loan Documents to Agent, such Lender or any of their Affiliates, including all Loans and LC Outstandings and all claims of any
nature or description arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not (i) Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder, (ii) Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders shall
have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by this Agreement and even though such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or (iii) the Collateral for the Obligations
is adequate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Agent and Lenders agree with each other that it shall not, without the express consent of the Required Lenders, and that it shall (to the extent that it is lawfully entitled to do so) upon the
request of the Required 
  

 - 62 - 

 Lenders, exercise its setoff rights hereunder against any accounts of any Borrower now or hereafter maintained with
Agent, such Lender or any Affiliate of any of them, but no Borrower shall have a claim or cause of action against Agent or any Lender for any setoff made without the consent of the Required Lenders and the validity of any such setoff shall not be
impaired by the absence of such consent. If any party (or its Affiliate) exercises the right of setoff provided for hereunder, such party shall be obligated to share any such setoff in the manner and to the extent required by Section 12.5.

  
 11.5. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.

  
 11.5.1. All covenants, conditions, provisions,

of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or agreements of Borrowers herein contained. The rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
that Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. 
  
 11.5.2. The
failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of any of the Loan Documents or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers, or remedies under any of the Loan Documents or with respect to any
Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such performance, Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such requirements, Liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all Loans and all other Obligations owing
or to become owing from Borrowers to Agent and Lenders shall have been fully satisfied. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrowers contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and
no Event of Default by any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Agent or any Lender, unless such suspension or waiver is by an instrument in writing specifying such suspension
or waiver and is signed by a duly authorized representative of Agent or such Lender and directed to Borrowers. 
  
 11.5.3. If Agent or any Lender shall accept performance by a Borrower, in whole or in part, of any obligation that a Borrower is required by any of the
Loan Documents to perform only when a Default or Event of Default exists, or if Agent or any Lender shall exercise any right or remedy under any of the Loan Documents that may not be exercised other than when a Default or Event of Default exists,
Agent’s or Lender’s acceptance of such performance by a Borrower or Agent’s or Lender’s exercise of any such right or remedy shall not operate to waive any such Event of Default or to preclude the exercise by Agent or any Lender
of any other right or remedy, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 12. AGENT 
  
 12.1. Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent. 
  

12.1.1. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates Fleet as Agent to act as herein specified. Agent may, and each Lender by its acceptance
of a Note shall be deemed irrevocably to have authorized Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is or is intended to be a party and all amendments hereto and all Security Documents at any time executed by any Borrower, for its
benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 12, to exercise such rights and 
  

 - 63 - 

 powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and
thereof, together with such other rights and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and
the exercise by Agent or the Required Lenders of any of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by any or all Borrowers or any other Obligor; (c) act as collateral agent for Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all security
interests and Liens created by this Agreement or the Security Documents with respect to all material items of the Collateral and, subject to the direction of the Required Lenders, for all other purposes stated therein, provided that Agent
hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as a collateral sub-agent for Agent and the other Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with respect to a Borrower’s Deposit Accounts maintained
with, and all cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender; (d) subject to the direction of the Required Lenders, manage, supervise or otherwise deal with the Collateral; and (e) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms of
this Agreement and subject to the direction of the Required Lenders, exercise all remedies given to Agent with respect to any of the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of Agent shall be
ministerial and administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or any Lender’s participants). Unless and until its authority to do so is
revoked in writing by Required Lenders, Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory (basing such determination in each case upon the meanings given to such terms
in Appendix A), or whether to impose or release any reserve, and to exercise its own credit judgment in connection therewith, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent from any liability to Lenders or any
other Person for any errors in judgment. 
  
 12.1.2. Agent (which
term, as used in this sentence, shall include reference to Agent’s officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and Affiliates and to the officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents of Agent’s Affiliates) shall not: (a) have
any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (b) be required to take, initiate or conduct any litigation, foreclosure or collection proceedings hereunder or under any of the other
Loan Documents except to the extent directed to do so by the Required Lenders during the continuance of any Event of Default. The conferral upon Agent of any right hereunder shall not imply a duty on Agent’s part to exercise any such right
unless instructed to do so by the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement. 
  
 12.1.3. Agent may perform any of its duties by or through its agents and employees and may employ one or more Agent Professionals and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such Agent
Professionals selected by it with reasonable care. Borrowers shall promptly (and in any event, on demand) reimburse Agent for all reasonable expenses (including all Extraordinary Expenses) incurred by Agent pursuant to any of the provisions
hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents or in the execution of any of Agent’s duties hereby or thereby created or in the exercise of any right or power herein or therein imposed or conferred upon it or Lenders (excluding, however, general
overhead expenses), and each Lender agrees promptly to pay to Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of any such reimbursement for expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) that is not timely made by Borrowers to Agent.

  
 12.1.4. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges conferred
upon Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents may be exercised by Agent without the necessity of the joinder of any other 
  

 - 64 - 

 parties unless otherwise required by Applicable Law. If Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with
respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received
instructions from the Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or
refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents pursuant to or in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders except for Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any action taken by
it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Agent shall not be required to take any action that is in its opinion contrary to Applicable Law or the terms of any of the Loan Documents or that would in its reasonable
opinion subject it or any of its officers, employees or directors to personal liability; provided, however, that if Agent shall fail or refuse to take action that is not contrary to Applicable Law or to any of the terms of any of the
Loan Documents even if such action in Agent’s opinion would subject it to potential liability, the Required Lenders may remove Agent and appoint a successor Agent in the same manner and with the same effect as is provided in this Agreement with
respect to Agent’s resignation. 
  
 12.1.5. Agent shall
promptly, upon receipt thereof, forward to each Lender (i) copies of any significant written notices, reports, certificates and other information received by Agent from any Obligor (but only if and to the extent such Obligor is not required by the
terms of the Loan Documents to supply such information directly to Lenders) and (ii) copies of the results of any field audits by Agent with respect to Borrowers. Agent shall have no liability to any Lender for any errors in or omissions from any
field audit or other examination of Borrower or the Collateral, unless such error or omission was the direct result of Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 12.2. Agreements Regarding Collateral. 
  
 12.2.1. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien upon any
Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment or satisfaction of all of the Obligations or (ii) constituting Equipment sold or disposed of in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if Borrowers certify to Agent that the
disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry) or (iii) if approved or ratified by the Required Lenders. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever
to any of the Lenders to assure that any of the Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that Agent’s Liens have been properly, sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected or enforced or entitled to any particular priority or to exercise any duty of care with respect to any of the Collateral. 
  
 12.2.2. Each Lender shall be deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after the same becomes available, a copy of each field
audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or on behalf of Agent; agrees that neither Fleet nor Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any
Report and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any such Report; agrees that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, that Fleet or Agent or any other Person performing any audit or
examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrowers or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon each Borrower’s books and records as well as upon representations of each Borrower’s officers and employees; agrees
to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use and not to distribute the Reports to any Person (except to its Participants) or use any Report in any other manner; and, without limiting the generality of any other indemnification
contained herein, agrees to hold Agent and any other Person preparing a Report harmless from all losses or liabilities incurred by Agent, such other Person or 
  

 - 65 - 

 such Lender as a direct or indirect result of any action that the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any
conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any Loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or
its purchase of, a Loan or Loans of Borrowers, and to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each other such Person preparing a Report harmless from and against all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other
amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report) arising as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or any part of any Report through the indemnifying
Lender. Agent and each Lender recognizes that Rowe Companies is a public company and that reports and financial information furnished by Borrowers to Agent or Lenders may include non-public information. As a result, Agent and each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that it shall be treated as a temporary insider for the purposes of obtaining such reports and financial information and, for the period that such information remains non-public, will not purchase or sell any Equity Interests
of Rowe Companies or seek to obtain control of Rowe Companies. 
  
 12.3. Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopier
message or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by
Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting hereunder and thereunder in accordance with the instructions of
the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon Lenders. 
  
 12.4. Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless
it has received written notice from a Lender or any or all Borrowers specifying the occurrence and nature of such Default or Event of Default. If Agent shall receive such a notice of a Default or an Event of Default or shall otherwise acquire actual
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, Agent shall promptly notify Lenders in writing and Agent shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or shall refrain from taking such action and
asserting such rights, as the Required Lenders shall direct from time to time. If any Lender shall receive a notice of a Default or an Event of Default or shall otherwise acquire actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, such Lender shall
promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders in writing. As provided in Section 12.3 hereof, Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of acting or refraining to act pursuant to any request of the Required Lenders except for its
own willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection with any action taken by it. Before directing Agent to take or refrain from taking any action or asserting any rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on account
of any Event of Default, the Required Lenders shall consult with and seek the advice of (but without having to obtain the consent of) each other Lender, and promptly after directing Agent to take or refrain from taking any such action or asserting
any such rights, the Required Lenders will so advise each other Lender of the action taken or refrained from being taken and, upon request of any Lender, will supply information concerning actions taken or not taken. In no event shall the Required
Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct Agent to accelerate and demand payment of the Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans or to terminate the Commitments of one or more
Lenders without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any of the Loan Documents and without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, it will not take any legal action or
institute any action or proceeding against any Obligor with respect to any of the Obligations or Collateral, or accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of 
  

 - 66 - 

 the foregoing, none of Lenders may exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at
foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar sales or dispositions of any of the Collateral except as authorized by the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 12.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement,
each Lender shall be authorized to take such action to preserve or enforce its rights against any Obligor where a deadline or limitation period is otherwise applicable and would, absent the taking of specified action, bar the enforcement of
Obligations held by such Lender against such Obligor, including the filing of proofs of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding. 
  
 12.5. Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction (including any amounts received as adequate protection of a bank
account deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code) of any Obligation of Borrowers hereunder (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata share of payments or
reductions on account of such Obligations obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith (i) notify the other Lenders and Agent of such receipt and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligations as
shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction, net of costs incurred in connection therewith, on a Pro Rata basis, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or reduction is thereafter
recovered from such purchasing Lender or additional costs are incurred, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery or such additional costs, but without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any
Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 12.5 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation. 
  
 12.6. Indemnification of Agent. 
  
 12.6.1. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and defend the Agent Indemnitees (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers under this Agreement, but without
limiting the indemnification obligation of Borrowers under this Agreement), on a Pro Rata basis, and to hold each of the Agent Indemnitees harmless from and against, any and all Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of
the Agent Indemnitees in any way related to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the
costs and expenses which Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 14.2 hereof or amounts Agent may be called upon to pay in connection with any lockbox or Dominion Account arrangement contemplated hereby or under any indemnity, guaranty
or other assurance of payment or performance given by Agent with respect to Letters of Credit) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent Indemnitee
for any of the foregoing to the extent that they result solely from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Agent Indemnitee. 
  
 12.6.2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6, if Agent should be sued by any receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession or other Person on account of any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer received or alleged to have been received from any Borrower or any other Obligor as the result of any transaction under the Loan Documents,
then in such event any monies paid by Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such suit, together with all Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Agent in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Agent by Lenders to the extent of each
Lender’s Pro Rata share. 
  

 - 67 - 

 12.6.3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6, if at
any time (whether prior to or after the Commitment Termination Date) any action or proceeding shall be brought against any of the Agent Indemnitees by an Obligor or by any other Person claiming by, through or under an Obligor, to recover damages for
any act taken or omitted by Agent under any of the Loan Documents or in the performance of any rights, powers or remedies of Agent against any Obligor, any Account Debtor, the Collateral or with respect to any Loans, or to obtain any other relief of
any kind on account of any transaction involving any Agent Indemnitees under or in relation to any of the Loan Documents, each Lender agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Agent Indemnitees harmless with respect thereto and to pay to the Agent
Indemnitees such Lender’s Pro Rata share of such amount as any of the Agent Indemnitees shall be required to pay by reason of a judgment, decree, or other order entered in such action or proceeding or by reason of any compromise or settlement
agreed to by the Agent Indemnitees, including all interest and costs assessed against any of the Agent Indemnitees in defending or compromising such action, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses paid or incurred by
the Agent Indemnitees in connection therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent Indemnitee for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise solely from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of
such Agent Indemnitee. In Agent’s discretion, Agent may also reserve for or satisfy any such judgment, decree or order from proceeds of Collateral prior to any distributions therefrom to or for the account of Lenders. 
  
 12.7. Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall in
all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have received further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.6 hereof against any and all Claims
which may be incurred by Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall not be liable to Lenders (or any Lender’s participants) for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents except as a result of actual gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Agent. Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or breach by any Obligor or any Lender of its
obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Agent does not make to Lenders, and no Lender makes to Agent or the other Lenders, any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to the Loans, the
Collateral, the Loan Documents or any Obligor. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, attorneys or employees shall be responsible to Lenders, and no Lender nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall
be responsible to Agent or the other Lenders, for: (i) any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or in any certificate or other document furnished pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii)
the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents; (iii) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency or existence of any Collateral, or the perfection or priority of
any Lien therein; or (iv) the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or any Account Debtor. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or
agents shall have any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Obligor of any of the duties or agreements of such Obligor under any of the Loan
Documents or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any of the Loan Documents. Agent may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any
action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. 
  
 12.8. Successor Agent and Co-Agents. 
  
 12.8.1. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to each Lender and Borrowers. Upon receipt of
any notice of such resignation, the Required Lenders, after prior consultation with (but 
  

 - 68 - 

 without having to obtain consent of) each Lender, shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (i) a
Lender, (ii) a United States based affiliate of a Lender or (iii) a commercial bank or commercial finance company that is organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and has a combined capital surplus of at least
$100,000,000 and, provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, is reasonably acceptable to Borrowers (and for purposes hereof, any successor to Fleet shall be deemed acceptable to Borrowers). Upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of an
appointment to serve as an Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent without further act, deed or conveyance, and the retiring Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 (including the provisions of Section 12.6 hereof) shall continue in effect
for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any successor by merger or acquisition of the stock or assets of Fleet
shall continue to be Agent hereunder unless such successor shall resign in accordance with the provisions hereof. 
  
 12.8.2. It is the purpose of this Agreement that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial
institutions to transact business as agent or otherwise in any jurisdiction. It is recognized that, in case of litigation under any of the Loan Documents, or in case Agent deems that by reason of present or future laws of any jurisdiction Agent
might be prohibited from exercising any of the powers, rights or remedies granted to Agent or Lenders hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or from holding title to or a Lien upon any Collateral or from taking any other action which may be
necessary hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, Agent may appoint an additional Person as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent which is not so prohibited from taking any of such actions or exercising any of such powers, rights
or remedies. If Agent shall appoint an additional Person as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent as provided above, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand or cause of action intended by any of the Loan Documents to be
exercised by or vested in or conveyed to Agent with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vested in such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate collateral agent or
co-collateral agent to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should
any instrument from Lenders be required by the separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent so appointed by Agent in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to him or it such rights, powers, duties and obligations, any and all of
such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by Lenders whether or not a Default or Event of Default then exists. In case any separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, or a successor to either, shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, so far as permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by
the Agent until the appointment of a new collateral agent or successor to such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent. 
  
 12.9. Consents, Amendments and Waivers; Out-of-Formula Loans. 
  
 12.9.1. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the prior written
agreement of the Required Lenders and Borrowers, and no waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that, (i) without the prior written
consent of Agent no amendment or waiver shall be effective with respect to any provision of any of the Loan Documents (including this Section 12) to the extent such provision relates to the rights, remedies, duties or immunities of Agent;
(ii) without the prior written consent of Fleet, no amendment or waiver with respect to the provisions of Sections 1.3 or 3.1.3 shall be effective; (iii) without the prior written consent of all Lenders, no waiver of any Default or
Event of Default shall be 
  

 - 69 - 

 effective if the Default or Event of Default relates to Borrowers’ failure to observe or perform any covenant that
may not be amended without the unanimous written consent of Lenders (and, where so provided hereinafter, the written consent of Agent) as hereinafter set forth in this Section 12.9.1; and (iv) the written agreement of all Lenders (except a
defaulting Lender as provided in Section 3.2 of this Agreement) shall be required to effectuate any amendment, modification or waiver that would (a) alter the provisions of Sections 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 4.7, 4.8, 4.10, 4.11, 5.1,
12, 13, 14.2, 14.3 or 14.14,(b) amend the definitions of “Pro Rata,” “Required Lenders,” “Availability Reserve,” “Borrowing Base” (and the other defined terms used in such definitions) or if the effect
would be to increase the amount of Availability (except to the extent provided under Section 12.9.3 hereof), any provision of this Agreement obligating Agent to take certain actions at the direction of the Required Lenders, or any provision
of any of the Loan Documents regarding the Pro Rata treatment or obligations of Lenders, (c) increase or otherwise modify any of the Commitments (other than to reduce proportionately each Lender’s Commitment in connection with any overall
reduction in the amount of the Commitments), (d) alter or amend (other than to increase) the rate of interest payable in respect of the Loans (except as may be expressly authorized by the Loan Documents or as may be necessary, in Agent’s
judgment, to comply with Applicable Law), (e) waive or agree to defer collection of any fee, termination charge or other charge provided for under any of the Loan Documents (except to the extent that the Required Lenders agree after and during the
continuance of any Event of Default to a waiver or deferral of any termination charge provided for in Section 5.2.3 hereof) or the unused line fee in Section 2.2.3 hereof, (f) subordinate the payment of any of the Obligations to any
other Debt or the priority of any Liens granted to Agent under any of the Loan Documents to Liens granted to any other Person, except as currently provided in or contemplated by the Loan Documents in connection with Borrowers’ incurrence of
Permitted Purchase Money Debt, and except for Liens granted by an Obligor to financial institutions with respect to amounts on deposit with such financial institutions to cover returned items, processing and analysis charges and other charges in the
Ordinary Course of Business that relate to deposit accounts with such financial institutions, (g) alter the time or amount of repayment of any of the Loans or waive any Event of Default resulting from nonpayment of the Loans on the due date thereof
(or within any applicable period of grace), (h) forgive any of the Obligations, except any portion of the Obligations held by a Lender who consents in writing to such forgiveness, or (i) release any Obligor from liability for any of the Obligations.
No Lender shall be authorized to amend or modify any Note held by it, unless such amendment or modification is consented to in writing by all Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit an
amendment or modification to any provision of this Agreement that may be effected pursuant to this Section 12.9.1 by agreement of Borrowers and the Required Lenders even though such an amendment or modification results in an amendment or
modification of the Notes by virtue of the incorporation by reference in each of the Notes of this Agreement. The making of any Loans hereunder by any Lender during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a
waiver of such Default or Event of Default. Any waiver or consent granted by Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. 
  
 12.9.2. In connection with any proposed amendment to any of the Loan
Documents or waiver of any of the terms thereof or any Default or Event of Default thereunder, no Borrower shall solicit, request or negotiate for or with respect to any such proposed amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents unless each Lender shall be informed thereof by Borrowers or Agent (to the extent known by Agent) and shall be afforded an opportunity of considering the same and supplied by Borrowers with sufficient information to
enable it to make an informed decision with respect thereto. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any
Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for or as an inducement to the consent to or agreement by such Lender with any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents unless such remuneration or thing of value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders. 
  

 - 70 - 

 12.9.3. Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Required Lenders, Agent may require Lenders to honor
requests by Borrowers for Out-of-Formula Loans (in which event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 1.1.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Lenders shall continue to make Revolver Loans up to their Pro Rata share of the
Commitments) and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Out-of-Formula Condition, (1) when no Event of Default exists (or if an Event of Default exists, when the existence of such Event of Default is not known by Agent), if and for so long
as (i) such Out-of-Formula Condition does not continue for a period of more than 15 consecutive days, following which no Out-of-Formula Condition exists for at least 15 consecutive days before another Out-of-Formula Condition exists, (ii) the amount
of the Revolver Loans outstanding at any time does not exceed the aggregate of the Commitments at such time, and (iii) the Out-of-Formula Condition is not known by Agent at the time in question to exceed $5,000,000; and (2) regardless of whether or
not an Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers the existence of an Out-of-Formula Condition not previously known by it to exist, but Lenders shall be obligated to continue making such Revolver Loans as directed by Agent only (A) if the amount of
the Out-of-Formula Condition is not increased by more than $5,000,000 above the amount determined by Agent to exist on the date of discovery thereof and (B) for a period not to exceed 5 Business Days. In no event shall Borrowers or any other Obligor
be deemed to be a beneficiary of this Section 12.9.3 or authorized to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 12.9.3. 
  
 12.10. Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and represents that it has, independently and without reliance upon
Agent or the other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund the Loans to be made by it
hereunder and to purchase participations in the LC Outstandings pursuant to Section 1.3.2 hereof, and each Lender has made such inquiries concerning the Loan Documents, the Collateral and each Obligor as such Lender feels necessary and
appropriate, and has taken such care on its own behalf as would have been the case had it entered into the other Loan Documents without the intervention or participation of the other Lenders or Agent. Each Lender hereby further acknowledges and
represents that the other Lenders and Agent have not made any representations or warranties to it concerning any Obligor, any of the Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents. Each Lender also
hereby acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other Lenders or Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own
credit decisions in making Loans and in taking or refraining to take any other action under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent
hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or
Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates. 
  
 12.11. Representations and Warranties of Lenders. By its execution of this Agreement, each Lender hereby represents and warrants to each
Borrower and the other Lenders that it has the power to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and that it has taken all necessary and appropriate action to authorize its execution and performance
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, each of which will be binding upon it and the obligations imposed upon it herein or therein will be enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms of such
documents. 
  

 - 71 - 

 12.12. The Required Lenders. As to any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents under which action may or is required to be taken upon direction or approval of the Required Lenders, the direction or approval of the Required Lenders shall be binding upon each Lender to the same extent and with the same effect as if
each Lender had joined therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrowers shall not be deemed to be a beneficiary of, or be entitled to enforce, sue upon or assert as a defense to any of the Obligations, any
provisions of this Agreement that requires Agent or any Lender to act, or conditions their authority to act, upon the direction or consent of the Required Lenders; and any action taken by Agent or any Lender that requires the consent or direction of
the Required Lenders as a condition to taking such action shall, insofar as Borrowers are concerned, be presumed to have been taken with the requisite consent or direction of the Required Lenders. 
  
 12.13. Several Obligations. The obligations and commitments of
each Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are several and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by the other Lenders of its obligations or commitments hereunder or thereunder. Notwithstanding any
liability of Lenders stated to be joint and several to third Persons under any of the Loan Documents, such liability shall be shared, as among Lenders, Pro Rata according to the respective Commitments of Lenders. 
  
 12.14. Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its
obligation to lend under this Agreement, the Loans made by it and each Note issued to it, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender or holder of a Note and may exercise the same as
though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its capacity as a Lender. Agent
and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower
or any other Obligor, or any affiliate of a Borrower or any other Obligor, as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor (or for any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to the other Lenders. Fleet or
its Affiliates may receive information regarding a Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates and Account Debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) and Lenders
acknowledge that neither Agent nor Fleet shall be under any obligation to provide such information to Lenders to the extent acquired by Fleet in its individual capacity and not as Agent hereunder. 
  
 12.15. Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 is not
intended to confer any rights or benefits upon any Borrower or any other Person except Lenders and Agent, and no Person (including any or all Borrowers) other than Lenders and Agent shall have any right to enforce any of the provisions of this
Section 12 except as expressly provided in Section 12.17 hereof. As between Borrowers and Agent, any action that Agent may take or purport to take on behalf of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents shall be conclusively presumed to
have been authorized and approved by Lenders as herein provided. 
  
 12.16. Notice of Transfer. Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Revolver Loans for all purposes, unless and until a written notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof executed by such Lender has been received by Agent. 
  
 12.17. Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (“Affected Lender”) shall have (i) failed to fund its Pro Rata share of any Revolver Loan requested (or deemed requested) by Borrowers which such Lender is
obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement and which such failure has not been cured, (ii) requested compensation from Borrowers under Section 2.7 to recover increased costs incurred by such Lender (or its parent or holding company)
which are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders (or 
  

 - 72 - 

 their respective parents or holding companies), or (iii) delivered a notice pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof
claiming that such Lender is unable to extend LIBOR Loans to Borrowers for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders, then, in any such case and in addition to any other rights and remedies that Agent, any other Lender or any Borrower
may have against such Affected Lender, any Borrower or Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to Agent in the case of a demand by a Borrower and a copy to Borrowers in the case of a demand by Agent) for the Affected
Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment and Acceptances within 5 Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more Lenders willing to accept such assignment or assignments,
or to one or more Eligible Assignees designated by Agent, all of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments and all Loans owing to it) in accordance with Section 13 hereof. Agent is
hereby irrevocably authorized to execute one or more Assignment and Acceptances as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender which fails or refuses to execute and deliver the same within 5 Business Days after the date of such demand. The Affected
Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash and concurrently with execution and delivery of each such Assignment and Acceptance, all amounts owed to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Revolver Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment. Upon the replacement of any Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 12.17, such Affected Lender shall
cease to have any participation in, entitlement to, or other right to share in the Liens of Agent in any Collateral and such Affected Lender shall have no further liability to Agent, any Lender or any other Person under any of the Loan Documents
(except as provided in Section 12.6 hereof as to events or transactions which occur prior to the replacement of such Affected Lender), including any commitment to make Loans or purchase participations in LC Outstandings. 
  
 12.18. Remittance of Payments and Collections. 
  
 12.18.1. All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made not later than
the time set forth elsewhere in this Agreement on the Business Day such payment is due; provided, however, that if such payment is due on demand by Agent and such demand is made on the paying Lender after 11:00 a.m. on such Business
Day, then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, promptly following Agent’s receipt of funds for the account of such Lender and in the type of funds received
by Agent; provided, however, that if Agent receives such funds at or prior to 12:00 noon, Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on such Business Day, but if Agent receives such funds after 12:00 noon, Agent shall pay
such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. 
  
 12.18.2. With respect to the payment of any funds from Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to Agent, the party failing to make full payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, on demand by the other party, pay such amount together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive any credit for any interest paid by Agent to any Lender, or by any Lender to Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as provided herein. 
  
 12.18.3. If Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the belief or expectation
that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from each Lender that receives such amount. If Agent determines at
any time that any amount received by it under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents must be returned to an Obligor or paid to any other Person pursuant to any Applicable Law, court order or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term
or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender.

 SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS 
  
 13.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns (which, in the case of Agent, shall include any successor Agent appointed pursuant to Section 12.8 hereof), except that (i) no Borrower
shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate performance of any of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3 hereof. Agent may treat the payee
of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section 13.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with Agent.
Any assignee or transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or
consent is the holder of a Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. 
  
 13.2. Participations. 
  
 13.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with
Applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interest in any of the Obligations owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such
Lender under any of the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by Borrowers under this Agreement and any of the Notes
shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents. If a Lender sells a participation to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender, then such Lender shall give prompt written notice thereof to Borrowers and the other Lenders. 
  
 13.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to
approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than an amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loans or Commitment in which such Participant has an
interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the stated interest rate or the stated rates at which fees are payable with respect to any such Loan or Commitment, postpones the Commitment Termination Date, or any date fixed for any
regularly scheduled payment of interest or fees on such Revolver Loan or Commitment, or releases from liability any Borrower or any Guarantor or releases any substantial portion of any of the Collateral. 
  
 13.2.3. Benefit of Set-Off. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be deemed to have the right of set-off provided in Section 11.4 hereof in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent and subject to the same requirements under this Agreement
(including Section 12.5) as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of set-off provided in Section 11.4 hereof with
respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant by exercising the right of set-off provided in Section 11.4 agrees to share with each Lender, any
amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of set-off, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 12.5 hereof as if each Participant were a Lender. 
  

 - 74 - 

 13.2.4. Notices. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any
matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent that any such notice may be required, and neither Agent nor any other Lender shall have any obligation, duty or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to give notices or to provide documents or information to a Participant of another Lender. 
  

13.3. Assignments. 
  
 13.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Subject to its giving at least 2 Business Days notice to Agent and Borrowers, any Lender may, in accordance with
Applicable Law, at any time assign to any Eligible Assignee all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, so long as (i) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, ratable percentage of all of the transferor
Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Loans and the LC Outstandings and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its sole
discretion, and with the approval of Borrowers, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and to be deemed given by Borrowers if no objection is received by Agent from Borrowers within 2 Business Days of the time that such approval is
sought by Agent) and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount; (ii) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents or an assignment by one original signatory to this
Agreement to another such signatory, immediately after giving effect to any assignment, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its sole
discretion, and with the approval of Borrowers, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and to be deemed given by Borrowers if no objection is received by Agent from Borrowers within 2 Business Days of the time that such approval is
sought by Agent); and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. The consent of Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with
respect to an Eligible Assignee that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender. Nothing contained herein shall limit in any way the right of Lenders to assign (i) to any Eligible Assignee all of their rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents or (ii) all or any portion of the Loans owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal
Reserve Bank, provided that in the case of this clause (ii) any payment in respect of such assigned Loans made by Borrowers to the assigning Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrowers’ obligations hereunder in
respect of such assigned Loans to the extent of such payment, but no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. 
  
 13.3.2. Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to Agent of a notice of assignment substantially in the form attached as Exhibit I
hereto, together with any consents required by Section 13.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $5,000 fee to the Agent for processing any assignment to an Eligible Assignee that is not an Affiliate of the transferor Lender, such assignment shall become
effective on the effective date specified in such notice of assignment. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender party to the Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the
Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of the Lender under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and no further consent or action by Borrowers, Lenders or Agent shall be required to release the
transferor Lender with respect to the Commitment (or portion thereof) of such Lender and Obligations assigned to such Eligible Assignee. Upon the consummation of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to this Section 13.3.2, the
transferor Lender, Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Eligible Assignee, in each 

 

 - 75 - 

 case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. If the
transferor Lender shall have assigned all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.3.1 hereof, such transferor Lender shall no longer have any obligation to indemnify Agent with respect to any
transactions, events or occurrences that transpire after the effective date of such assignment, and each Eligible Assignee to which such transferor shall make an assignment shall be responsible to Agent to indemnify Agent in accordance with this
Agreement with respect to transactions, events and occurrences transpiring on and after the effective date of such assignment to it. 
  
 13.3.3. Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender and Agent to disclose to any Participant, any Eligible Assignee or any
other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”), and any prospective Transferee, any and all information in Agent’s or such Lender’s possession concerning each Borrower, the
Subsidiaries of each Borrower or the Collateral, subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings on the part of such Transferee. 
  
 13.4. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee that is organized under the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 4.11 hereof. 
  
 13.5. Certain Prohibitions. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 13, in no event shall Fleet assign or sell a participating interest in any of its Commitment if the effect of any such assignment or sale would result in Fleet owning and controlling, both beneficially and
legally, less than the amount of the Commitment owned and controlled, both beneficially and legally, by CIT unless, at the time of any such assignment or sale, Fleet no longer is the Agent hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 14.1. Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
designates, makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) and Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without notice to such Borrower and in either such
Borrower’s or Agent’s name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers: 
  
 14.1.1. At such time or times as Agent or said designee, in its sole discretion, may determine, endorse such Borrower’s name on any Payment Item or proceeds of the Collateral which come into the possession of
Agent or under Agent’s control. 
  
 14.1.2. At any time that
an Event of Default exists: (i) demand payment of the Accounts from the Account Debtors, enforce payment of the Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise all of such Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the
collection of the Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or release any of the Accounts or other Collateral or any legal proceedings brought to collect any of the Accounts or other Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any of the Accounts
and other Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as Agent deems advisable; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds relating to any Collateral; (v) prepare, file and sign such
Borrower’s name to a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor or to any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with any of the Collateral; (vi) receive, open and
dispose of all mail addressed to such Borrower and to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Agent may designate; (vii) endorse the name of such Borrower upon any of the items of payment or proceeds
relating to any Collateral and deposit the same to the account of Agent on account of the Obligations; (viii) endorse the name of such 
  

 - 76 - 

 Borrower upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or
agreement relating to any Accounts or Inventory of any Obligor and any other Collateral; (ix) use such Borrower’s stationery and sign the name of such Borrower to verifications of the Accounts and notices thereof to Account Debtors; (x) use the
information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the Accounts, Inventory, Equipment or any other Collateral; (xi) make and adjust claims under policies of insurance; (xii) sign the
name of such Borrower on any proof of claim in bankruptcy against Account Debtors and on notices of Liens, claims of mechanic’s Liens or assignments or releases of mechanic’s Liens securing any Accounts; (xiii) take all action as may be
necessary to obtain the payment of any letter of credit or banker’s acceptance of which such Borrower is a beneficiary; and (xiv) do all other acts and things necessary, in Agent’s determination, to fulfill such Borrower’s obligations
under this Agreement. 
  
 14.2. General Indemnity.
Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the Indemnitees against and to hold the Indemnitees harmless from any Claim ever suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees that arises out of or relates to this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, any transactions entered into pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, Agent’s Lien upon the Collateral or the performance by Agent or Lenders of their duties or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, or as a result of any Borrower’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its duties hereunder. Each Borrower shall also indemnify and defend the Indemnitees against and save the Indemnitees harmless
from all Claims of any Person arising out of, related to or with respect to any transactions entered into pursuant to this Agreement or Agent’s Lien upon the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall
extend to any Claims asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees by any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Borrower’s or any other Person’s failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or
hazardous waste materials or other toxic substances. Additionally, if any Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed upon or measured solely by the net income of Agent and Lenders, but including, any intangibles tax, stamp tax, recording tax or franchise tax)
shall be payable by Agent or any Obligor on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of the Obligations
hereunder, by reason of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, Borrowers will pay (or will promptly reimburse Agent and Lenders for the payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold
Indemnitees harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnities shall not apply to Claims incurred by any of the Indemnitees as a direct and proximate result of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct
or that arise out of any disputes arising solely out of the relationship between Agent and any Lender. 
  
 14.3. Survival of All Indemnities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the
obligation of each Borrower and each Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in this Agreement, whether given by such Borrower to Agent Indemnitees, Lender Indemnitees or Fleet Indemnitees or by any Lender to any Agent Indemnitees or Fleet
Indemnitees, shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of any of the Commitments. 
  
 14.4. Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by
Borrowers and Agent and Lenders (or, where otherwise expressly allowed by Section 12 hereof, the Required Lenders in lieu of Agent and Lenders); provided, however, that no consent, written or otherwise, of any Borrower shall be
necessary or required in connection with any amendment of any of the provisions of Sections 1.3.2, 3.1.3, 4.7, or 12 (other than Section 12.17) or any other provision of this Agreement that affects only the rights, duties and
responsibilities of Lenders and Agent as among themselves so long as no such amendment imposes any additional obligations on Borrowers. 
  

 - 77 - 

 14.5. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition
or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 14.6. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Other Agreements and the Security Documents are hereby made cumulative
with the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or
similar matters and that such limitations, tests and measures are cumulative and each must be performed, except as may be expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in any of the other Loan Documents by specific
reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in direct conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall
govern and control. 
  
 14.7. Execution in
Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and
all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 
  
  
 14.8. Consent. Whenever Agent’s, Lenders’ or Required Lenders’ consent is required to be
obtained under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as a condition to any action, inaction, condition or event, Agent and each Lender shall be authorized to give or withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion and to
condition its consent upon the giving of additional collateral security for the Obligations, the payment of money or any other matter. 
  
 14.9. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be sent by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested, personal delivery against receipt or by telecopier or other facsimile transmission and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered when delivered against receipt or, in the case of facsimile
transmission, when received (if on a Business Day and, if not received on a Business Day, then on the next Business Day after receipt) at the office where the noticed party’s telecopier is located, in each case addressed to the noticed party at
the address shown for such party on the signature page hereof or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the date hereof, at the address shown on the Assignment and Acceptance by which such Person became a Lender. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no notice to or upon Agent pursuant to Sections 1.3, 2.1.2, 3.1 or 5.2.2 shall be effective until after actually received by the individual to whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice,
request or demand that is not sent in conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual to whose attention at the noticed party such notice,
request or demand is required to be sent. 
  
 14.10.
Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations. If any Borrower shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Agent may, in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time
following the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, for Borrowers’ account and at Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of Borrowers hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise
lawfully requested by Agent to enforce any of the Loan Documents or Obligations, preserve, protect, insure or maintain any of the Collateral, or preserve, defend, protect or maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any of the
Collateral, including the payment of any judgment against any Borrower, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing 
  

 - 78 - 

 or processing charge, any landlord claim, or any other Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral. All payments
that Agent may make under this Section and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) that Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall be reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers on
demand with interest from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable for Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or other action taken by
Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 14.11. Credit Inquiries. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and
permits Agent and Lenders (but Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning such Borrower or any Subsidiaries. 
  
 14.12. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this
Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Security Documents. 
  
 14.13. Indulgences Not Waivers. Agent’s or any Lender’s failure at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any
right of Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. 
  
 14.14. Entire Agreement; Appendix A, Exhibits and Schedules. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements and certificates executed by the parties in
connection therewith or with reference thereto, embody the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and
inducements, whether express or implied, oral or written. Appendix A, each of the Exhibits and each of the Schedules attached hereto are incorporated into this Agreement and by this reference made a part hereof. 
  
 14.15. Interpretation. No provision of this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, structured, drafted or
dictated such provision. 
  
 14.16. Obligations of Lenders
Several. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto shall
be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled, to
the extent not otherwise restricted hereunder, to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents and it shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. 
  
 14.17. Advertising and
Publicity. With the prior consent of Borrowers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may issue and disseminate to the public (by advertisement or otherwise) information describing the credit
accommodations made available by Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, including the name and address of Borrowers, the amount and security for the credit accommodations and the general nature of Borrowers’ business, provided that detail
regarding terms (such as interest rate) may be provided only to industry publications, such as the “LPC Gold Sheets.” 
  

 - 79 - 

 14.18. Confidentiality. Agent and Lenders each agrees to exercise reasonable efforts (and,
in any event, with at least the same degree of care as it ordinarily exercises with respect to confidential information of its other customers) to keep any confidential information that is delivered or made available by Borrowers to it and that is
marked confidential or any financial information that is delivered or made available by Borrowers to it and of which it is notified in writing by Borrowers that such financial information is not at the time of delivery thereof in the public domain
as the result of disclosure by Borrowers to the SEC or any other Governmental Authority, including information made available to Agent or any Lender in connection with a visit or investigation by any Person contemplated in Section 9.1.1
hereof, confidential from any Person other than their respective Affiliates and individuals employed or retained by Agent or such Lender who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring, administering or otherwise
giving professional advice with respect to any of the Loans or Collateral (including any of their respective legal counsel, auditors or other professional advisors); provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Agent or any
Lender from disclosing such confidential information (i) to any party to this Agreement from time to time or any Participant, (ii) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency, (iii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency
or authority having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender, (iv) which has been publicly disclosed other than by an act or omission of Agent or any Lender except as permitted herein, (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any
litigation (with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby) to which Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be a party, (vi) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise
of any remedies hereunder, (vii) to any actual or proposed Participant, Assignee or other Transferee of all or part of a Lender’s rights hereunder so long as such Transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section,
and (viii) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s portfolio in connection with ratings issued with
respect to such Lender. 
  
 14.19. Governing Law;
Consent to Forum. This Agreement has been negotiated, executed and delivered at and shall be deemed to have been made in Atlanta, Georgia. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia;
provided, however, that if any of the Collateral shall be located in any jurisdiction other than Georgia, the laws of such jurisdiction shall govern the method, manner and procedure for perfection and foreclosure of Agent’s Lien
upon such Collateral and the enforcement of Agent’s other remedies in respect of such Collateral to the extent that the laws of such jurisdiction are different from or inconsistent with the laws of the State of Georgia. As part of the
consideration for new value received, and regardless of any present or future domicile or principal place of business of any Borrower, any Lender or Agent, each Borrower hereby consents and agrees that the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, or,
at Agent’s option, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes among any or all of the Borrowers, Agent and Lenders pertaining to
this Agreement or to any matter arising out of or related to this Agreement. Each Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such Court, and each Borrower hereby waives any
objection which such Borrower may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such
Court. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to affect the right of Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law, or to preclude the enforcement by Agent of any judgment or order obtained in such forum or the
taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce same in any other appropriate forum or jurisdiction. 
  
 14.20. Waivers by Borrowers. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower waives (i) the right to trial by jury (which Agent
and each Lender hereby also waives) in any 
  

 - 80 - 

 action, suit, proceeding or counterclaim of any kind arising out of or related to any of the Loan Documents, the
Obligations or the Collateral; (ii) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, protest, default, non payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights,
documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which such Borrower may in any way be liable and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent may do in this regard; (iii) notice prior to taking possession or control
of the Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any of Agent’s remedies; (iv) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (v) any claim against Agent or any
Lender on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, any of the Loan Documents, any transaction arising thereunder
or the use of the proceeds of any Loans; and (vi) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Agent’s and Lender’s entering into this Agreement and that Agent and Lenders
are relying upon the foregoing waivers in its future dealings with Borrowers. Each Borrower warrants and represents that it has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial rights
following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the Court.

 Certain Matters of Construction. The terms “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar

been waived in writing by Lender. All calculations of Value shall be in Dollars, all Loans shall be funded in Dollars and all Obligations shall be repaid in Dollars. Whenever the phrase “to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge” or words
of similar import relating to the knowledge or the awareness of Borrowers are used herein, such phrase shall mean and refer to (i) the actual knowledge of a Senior Officer of any Borrower or (ii) the knowledge that a Senior Officer would have
obtained if they had engaged in good faith and diligent performance of his duties, including the making of such reasonably specific inquiries as may be necessary of the employees or agents of Borrowers and a good faith attempt to ascertain the
existence or accuracy of the matter to which such phrase relates. 
  
 Separate Capacity. Any reference to a “Revolving Lender” or a “Term Lender” shall mean such Lender solely in its capacity as the holder of a Revolver Loan or a Term Loan, as the case may be; and, if a Lender holds
both Revolver Loans and Term Loans, the rights, privileges, obligations or disabilities that may be enjoyed or imposed upon such Lender with respect to one kind of Loan shall not be imposed upon or enjoyed by such Lender with respect to the other
kind of Loan.

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
the undersigned, THE ROWE COMPANIES, a Nevada corporation (“Rowe Companies”); ROWE DIVERSIFIED, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Rowe Diversified”); HOME ELEMENTS, INC., a Virginia corporation (“Home
Elements”); ROWE FURNITURE WOOD PRODUCTS, INC., a California corporation (“Wood Products”); ROWE PROPERTIES, INC., a California corporation (“Rowe Properties”); STOREHOUSE, INC., a Georgia corporation
(“Storehouse”); ROWE FURNITURE, INC., a Virginia corporation (“Furniture”); and THE MITCHELL GOLD CO., a North Carolina corporation (“Mitchell Gold Co.”; Rowe Companies, Rowe Diversified, Home Elements,
Wood Products, Rowe Properties, Storehouse, Furniture and Mitchell Gold Co. being referred to collectively as “Borrowers” and individually as a “Borrower”), hereby unconditionally, and jointly and severally, promise to pay to the
order of                      (herein, together with any subsequent holder hereof, called the “Holder”) the principal sum of
$                     or such lesser sum as may constitute Holder’s Pro Rata share of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolver
Loans pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement (as defined below) on the date on which such outstanding principal amounts become due and payable pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Loan Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof.
Borrowers likewise unconditionally, and jointly and severally, promise to pay to Holder interest from and after the date hereof on Holder’s Pro Rata share of the outstanding principal amount of Revolver Loans at such interest rates, payable at
such times, and computed in such manner as are specified in Section 2.1 of the Loan Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof. 
  
 This Revolver Note (“Note”) is issued pursuant to, and is one of the “Revolver Notes” referred to in, the Loan and Security Agreement
dated May     , 2002 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), among Borrowers, Fleet Capital Corporation, as collateral and administrative agent (in such capacity, “Agent”)
for itself and the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as lenders (“Lenders”), and such Lenders, and Holder is and shall be entitled to all benefits thereof and of all Loan Documents executed and delivered in
connection therewith. All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement. 
  

The repayment of the principal balance of this Note is subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 of the Loan Agreement. The entire unpaid
principal balance and all accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable immediately upon the termination of the Commitments as set forth in Section 5.2 of the Loan Agreement. 
  
 All payments of principal and interest shall be made in Dollars in
immediately available funds as specified in the Loan Agreement. 
  
 Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default exists, the principal balance and all accrued interest of this Note may be declared (or shall become) due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Loan Agreement, and the unpaid principal balance hereof shall bear interest at the Default Rate as and when provided in Section 2.1.5 of the Loan Agreement. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay, and save Holder
harmless against, any liability for the payment of, all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, if this Note is collected by or through an attorney-at-law. 

 All principal amounts of Revolver Loans made by Holder to Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be deemed outstanding under this Note and shall continue to be owing by Borrowers until paid in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement. 
  
 In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of
the proceeds hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction
may deem applicable hereto; and, in the event of any such payment inadvertently paid by Borrowers or inadvertently received by Holder, such excess sum shall be, at Borrowers’ option, returned to Borrowers forthwith or credited as a payment of
principal, but shall not be applied to the payment of interest. It is the intent hereof that Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that Holder not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in
excess of that which may be paid by Borrowers under Applicable Law. 
  
 Time is of the essence of this Note. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower, for itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor,
notice of non-payment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection, and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws. 
  
 Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a
manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating
the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this Note. No delay or failure on the part of Holder in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any
single or partial exercise by Holder of any right or remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Holder, at its option, may enforce its rights against any Collateral securing this Note without Agent or Holder enforcing its rights against any
Borrower, any Guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any other property or indebtedness due or to become due to any Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that, without releasing or impairing any Borrower’s liability hereunder, Holder or
Agent may at any time release, surrender, substitute or exchange any Collateral securing this Note and may at any time release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. 
  
 The rights of Holder and obligations of Borrowers hereunder shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws (without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of Georgia. This Note is intended to take effect as an instrument under seal under Georgia law.

order of
                                        
(herein, together with any subsequent holder hereof, called the “Holder”), the principal sum of $                    , or so much
thereof as represents Holder’s Pro Rata share of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loan pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement (as defined below), on the dates on which such outstanding principal amounts become due and payable
pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Loan Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof. Borrowers likewise unconditionally, and jointly and severally, promise to pay to Holder interest from and after the date hereof on the unpaid
principal balance hereof at such interest rates, payable at such times and computed in such manner as are specified in Section 2.1 of the Loan Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof. 
  
 This Term Note (“Note”) is issued pursuant to, and is one of the
“Term Notes” referred to in, the Loan and Security Agreement, dated May     , 2002 (as at any time amended, the “Loan Agreement”), among Borrowers, Fleet Capital Corporation, as collateral and

 This Note is subject to mandatory prepayment in accordance with the

 All payments of principal and interest shall be made in Dollars and in

payable immediately upon the Commitment Termination Date.

maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection, and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws. 
  

Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any
provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this
Note. No delay or failure on the part of Fleet in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Fleet of any right or remedy
preclude any other right or remedy. Fleet, at its option, may enforce its rights against any collateral securing this Note without enforcing its rights against Borrowers, any Guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any other property or
indebtedness due or to become due to Borrowers. Borrowers agree that, without releasing or impairing Borrowers’ joint and several liability hereunder, Fleet may at any time release, surrender, substitute or exchange any collateral securing this
Note and may at any time release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. 
  
 The rights and obligations of Fleet and Borrowers hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws (without giving effect to the
conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of Georgia. This Note is intended to take effect as an instrument under seal under Georgia law.
