PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

I. The Borrowers, the Original Lenders, the Agents, Parent, and Consolidated Industries are parties to that certain Term Loan Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2007, which was previously amended pursuant to that certain Amendment and Waiver to the Term Loan Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2010 (as so amended, the “Original Loan Agreement”).

II. Pursuant to the Original Loan Agreement, the Lenders provided a term loan facility in the maximum principal amount of $50,000,000, and each of Parent and Consolidated Industries, in light of the direct and indirect benefits to each of them of the availability of such term loan facility to the Borrowers, guaranteed the obligations of the Borrowers.

III. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in the Original Loan Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, each Original Lender funded term loans in the amount equal to its Original Term Commitment.

IV. Although the Term Loans made under the Original Loan Agreement did not amortize, there have been optional partial prepayments of those Term Loans that were made in accordance with that certain Waiver, dated as of March 4, 2010, by and among the Borrowers, Parent, the Original Lenders, and the Agents. As of the date of this Agreement and prior to any additional funding under Article II, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all the Term Loans made under the Original Loan Agreement is $48,772,571.53.

V. The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders increase the maximum principal amount of the term loan facility to $60,000,000, which maximum may be further increased to up

- 1 -

to $75,000,000 as described in Preliminary Statement VI, and, among other things, to extend the maturity of the Term Loans from November 2, 2012, to the new Maturity Date; and each of Parent and Consolidated Industries, in light of the direct and indirect benefits to each of them of the above described increase and extension of the term loan facility, has agreed to continue to guarantee the obligations of the Borrowers.

VI. Furthermore, the Lenders have indicated their willingness to allow the Borrowers to request the Facility Increase, which will increase the maximum principal amount of the term loan facility to up to $75,000,000, both on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The proceeds of the Facility Increase Amounts will be made available to the Borrowers on no more than two Subsequent Borrowing Dates, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

VII. In light of the request described in Preliminary Statement V and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Agents, Parent, and Consolidated Industries desire to amend the Original Loan Agreement in certain respects and, as so amended, to restate the Original Loan Agreement in its entirety.

VIII. Each of GE Business Financial Services and Arvest, each an Original Lender and an “Exiting Lender”, has informed the Payment Agent that it has elected not to be a Lender under this Agreement. Pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption being entered into by BALC and GE Business Financial Services (the “Exiting Lender (GE) Agreement”), as more fully set forth therein, on the Borrowing Date, and following the fulfillment of all the conditions to closing set forth in Section 4.01 (except for Section 4.01(h)) and prior to the Additional Term Loan Amounts being made available to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.01(c), GE Business Financial Services will sell and assign, and BALC will purchase, all of the GE Business Financial Services’ interests as a Lender under the original Loan Documents in exchange for payment by BALC of GE Business Financial Services’ Exit Amount. Pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption being entered into by BALC, JPMorgan, and Arvest (the “Exiting Lender (Arvest) Agreement”), as more fully set forth therein, on the Borrowing Date, and following the fulfillment of all the conditions to closing set forth in Section 4.01 (except for Section 4.01(h)) and prior to the Additional Term Loan Amounts being made available to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.01(c), Arvest will sell and assign, and BALC and JPMorgan will purchase, all of the Arvest’s interests as a Lender under the original Loan Documents in exchange for payment by BALC and JPMorgan of Arvest’s Exit Amount.

IX. The Lenders have indicated their willingness to make a single advance available to the Borrowers that will be used to increase the maximum principal amount of the term loan facility, both on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The amount of that advance used to increase the maximum principal amount of the term loan facility will be made available to the Borrowers on the Borrowing Date immediately following the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

X. The parties hereto also agree that after the effectiveness of this Agreement and upon the funding provided for in Section 2.01, the Term Loans existing on the Closing Date and the Term Loans advanced by the Term Lenders on the Borrowing Date shall consist of two tranches, namely, the Tranche A Loans and the Tranche B Loans. Schedule 2.01 sets forth the

- 2 -

Term Commitments of each Tranche A Lender and Tranche B Lender, also indicating which Term Commitments are for Tranche A Loans and which for Tranche B Loans.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree to amend and restate the Original Loan Agreement, which amendment and restatement will be effective immediately at the Effective Time, so that, as amended and restated, it reads in its entirety as follows:

ARTICLE II.

THE TERM COMMITMENTS AND TERM LOANS

2.01 The Term Loans

(a) Generally.

- 32 -

(i) As described in the Preliminary Statements, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the term loan facility made available to the Borrowers under the Original Loan Agreement is being extended and increased as of the Closing Date. The results of the aforesaid extension and increase being that the Maturity Date will be March 29, 2016, instead of November 2, 2012, that the Original Term Commitments will be replaced with the Term Commitments, and that the maximum principal amount of the term loan facility shall be increased to $60,000,000, which amount may be increased to $75,000,000 pursuant to Section 2.01(f).

(ii) Schedule 2.01 (x) sets forth the Term Commitments of the Term Lenders, as of the Closing Date, (y) sets forth the Outstanding Loan Balance of each Term Loan and the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance hereunder, as of the Effective Time and prior to the funding of the Additional Borrowed Amount, and (z) identifies each Term Loan as either a Tranche A Loan or a Tranche B Loan.

(iii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make its Additional Term Loan Amount, if any, available to the Borrowers on the Borrowing Date. With respect to each Term Lender, the sum of its Additional Term Loan Amount and its Original Loan Amount shall not exceed that Term Lender’s Term Commitment.

(iv) Following the Closing Date, the Term Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. For the avoidance of doubt, no amount borrowed pursuant to this Agreement is a re-borrowing of any amount made available to the Borrowers under the Original Loan Agreement.

(b) Borrowing Notice. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Payment Agent irrevocable written notice of the Borrowers’ request for the borrowing of the Term Loans (the “Borrowing Notice”), which Borrowing Notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C and shall include (i) the requested Borrowing Date (which date must be a Business Day) and (ii) a request for the Additional Borrowed Amount. The Borrowers shall deliver the Borrowing Notice not later than one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date to the Payment Agent (which shall promptly forward a copy of such Borrowing Notice to each Lender). On or before the proposed Borrowing Date, the Payment Agent shall notify (A) the Borrowers and the Tranche A Lenders of the LIBO Rate applicable to the Tranche A Loans during the initial Interest Period upon determination of such LIBO Rate, and (B) each Lender of its Additional Term Loan Amount.

(c) Funding. Following its receipt from the Payment Agent of the Borrowing Notice and its receipt of notice from the Payment Agent that the Effective Time has occurred, each Lender shall make its Additional Term Loan Amount available to the Payment Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date; provided, however, that the parties hereto acknowledge that subject to the terms of the Exiting Lender Agreements, the Exit Amounts shall be paid directly by the Purchasing Lenders to the Exiting Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Exiting Lender Agreements. Upon satisfaction, or waiver pursuant to Section 11.01(a), of the conditions set forth in Section

- 33 -

4.01 and the Payment Agent’s receipt of the amounts to be funded by the Lenders on such date, the Payment Agent shall make the Additional Borrowed Amount available to the Borrowers. In the event that any Lender fails to make its Additional Term Loan Amount available as provided above, the Payment Agent shall make the Additional Term Loan Amounts actually received available to the Borrowers. The Additional Borrowed Amount shall be paid to the Borrowers in like funds as received by the Payment Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Payment Agent by the Borrowers.

(d) The Exiting Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Exiting Lender is a Term Lender hereunder; nor does either of them have any rights or obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Replacement of the Original Term Commitments. The Original Term Commitments set forth in Schedule 2.01 to the Original Loan Agreement are hereby replaced with the Term Commitments set forth in Schedule 2.01 hereto.

(f) Increase of the Term Loan Facility. Following the Borrowing Date and subject to the adjustments set forth below, the Borrowers shall have a one-time right to increase the term loan facility to up to $75,000,000, subject to the adjustments set forth herein (the “Facility Increase”), by obtaining additional Term Commitments from one or more Persons (each, a “Joining Lender”); provided that each such Person shall be an Eligible Assignee that is identified by the Arranger, and that shall have a minimum Term Commitment of $5,000,000. The sum of all Facility Increase Amounts advanced to the Borrowers shall not exceed the Maximum Facility Increase Amount. To exercise that right, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Payment Agent not later than thirty days after the Closing Date irrevocable written notice of that request (the “Facility Increase Notice”), which notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit O and shall include the request for the Facility Increase. Following the execution of each Joining Lender Agreement, the Borrowers shall deliver a Borrowing Notice to the Payment Agent, which Borrowing Notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C and shall include (i) the date that the Borrowers desire to receive the Facility Increase Amount to be advanced by the applicable Joining Lender (the “Subsequent Borrowing Date”) and (ii) a request for that Facility Increase Amount; provided that there shall be no more than two Subsequent Borrowing Dates.

(g) The Joining Lenders. On or prior to each Subsequent Borrowing Date, each Joining Lender advancing a Facility Increase Amount on that date shall deliver executed counterparts of the Joining Lender Agreement to the Payment Agent (which shall promptly forward a copy thereof to each Lender, each other Agent, and each Loan Party). Each Joining Lender Agreement shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties, and the applicable Joining Lender being added or increasing its Term Commitment, and no other approvals or consents of the other Lenders shall be required to effect the Facility Increase. Upon execution and delivery of each Joining Lender Agreement and subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.01(g), the applicable Joining Lender will become a Term Lender hereunder and thereupon have all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations in that capacity under the Loan Documents. After the second Payment Date, no Subsequent Borrowing Date shall occur, no Facility Increase Amount shall be made available to the Borrowers, and no Joining Lender Agreement related to a Facility Increase Amount not already made available to the Borrowers shall be of any force or effect.

- 34 -

(h) Funding on each Subsequent Borrowing Date. Following its execution of a Joining Lender Agreement, each Joining Lender agrees that it shall, subject to the terms and conditions of that Joining Lender Agreement, fund its portion of the Facility Increase Amount on the applicable Subsequent Borrowing Date. Upon satisfaction, or waiver pursuant to Section 11.01(a), of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and the Payment Agent’s receipt of the applicable Facility Increase Amount on each Subsequent Borrowing Date, the Payment Agent shall make that Facility Increase Amount available the Borrowers. On each Subsequent Borrowing Date after the applicable Facility Increase Amount is advanced to the Borrowers, the Payment Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise Schedules 2.01 and 2.03 to reflect that increase, and shall distribute those revised Schedules 2.01 and 2.03 to each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties, whereupon those revised Schedules 2.01 and 2.03 shall replace the old Schedules 2.01 and 2.03 and become part of this Agreement; provided that the revised Schedules 2.01 and 2.03 shall not require and shall be effective without the approval of or consent by the Lenders. The amounts set forth in each revised Schedule 2.03 shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.03(a).

2.02 Optional Prepayments.

(a) Subject to the requirements and restrictions set forth in this Section 2.02, the Borrowers may, following written notice to the Payment Agent from the Borrowers (such a notice, a “Prepayment Notice”), at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay the Term Loans.

(b) On or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrowers may voluntarily prepay the Term Loans in whole but not in part and only if:

(i) the applicable Borrowers enter into a binding commitment, evidenced by definitive documentation, to Dispose of all of the Facility Assets to or in favor of any Person;

(ii) Parent or Consolidated Industries, as applicable, enter into a binding commitment, evidenced by definitive documentation, to Dispose of all of the Equity Interests (whether direct or indirect) in CNC, CNH, EDCC, and NFC to or in favor of any Person; or

(iii) any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) enters into a binding commitment, evidenced by definitive documentation, to acquire any assets or other property, of any nature whatsoever.

(c) Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in Section 2.02(b), the Borrowers may voluntarily prepay the Term Loans on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (i) in whole or in part if such a prepayment arises out of Section 3.02 or 3.06(b) or (ii) in part but not in whole if such a prepayment that arises out of Section 7.05(f).

(d) After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrowers may voluntarily prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part; provided that each Principal Prepayment shall be equal to either (i) a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance if that amount is less than $5,000,000; provided, however, that any prepayment arising out of Section 3.02 or 3.06(b) shall

- 35 -

not be subject to the restriction on the minimum amount of each Principal Prepayment that is set forth in the previous proviso.

(e) Each Prepayment Notice must set forth the date on which the prepayment of the Term Loans is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”), the amount of principal of the Term Loans to be prepaid on that date (the “Principal Prepayment”), and the Section hereof pursuant to which the prepayment is to be made; provided, however, that the Prepayment Date for any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(i), (ii), or (iii) shall be the same date as the “closing date” of the definitive documentation referenced in that section. Each Prepayment Notice must be received by the Payment Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. thirty (30) days prior to the intended Prepayment Date. The Payment Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each Prepayment Notice and of the amount of that Lender’s ratable portion of the related Principal Prepayment. If a prepayment is to be paid pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(i), (ii), or (iii), the applicable Loan Parties shall provide the Payment Agent with any such information and documentation as is reasonably requested by the Payment Agent regarding the transaction contemplated thereby.

(f) Each Prepayment Notice shall be deemed irrevocable when given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make the related prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(g) Each prepayment of the Term Loans shall be made on a Payment Date, and shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the related Principal Prepayment together with the Prepayment Fee, if any, and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 (all of those amounts collectively, the “Total Prepayment Amount”); provided, however, that no Prepayment Fee shall be payable in connection with prepayments made with the proceeds of Dispositions permitted pursuant to Section 7.05(f) or in connection with a prepayment required by Section 3.02. The Total Prepayment Amount will be confirmed by the Payment Agent, and the Payment Agent will give written notice to the Borrowers, the Lenders, and the other Agents of its determination of the Total Prepayment Amount and each Lender’s ratable portion thereof no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Prepayment Date.

(h) Each prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof on a pro-rata basis, and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the Term Loans.

2.03 Repayment of Term Loans.

(a) The Borrowers shall repay to the Term Lenders the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance in installments on the Payment Dates in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.03. Unless a Subsequent Borrowing Date occurs and Schedule 2.03 is revised as set forth below, the payments to be made on each Payment Date shall be those amounts set forth on Schedule 2.03 as of the Closing Date, which amounts equal the product of the Amortization Percentage and the aggregate of all Term Commitments as of the Borrowing Date. With respect to each Subsequent Borrowing Date, the Payment Agent shall revise Schedule 2.03, so that it shows that the amounts to be paid on each subsequent Payment Date equal the product of the Amortization Percentage and the sum of (x) the aggregate of all Term Commitments as of the Borrowing Date and (y) all Nominal Facility Increase Amounts.

- 36 -

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, amounts repaid pursuant to this Section 2.03 will be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.02.

2.04 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(b), (i) each Tranche A Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; provided that in the event that Section 3.02 or 3.03 applies, such Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02 or 3.03, as applicable and (ii) each Tranche B Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Rate.

(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Term Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, pursuant to Section 2.03, or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Term Loan) payable by the Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Term Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) On the Borrowing Date, the Borrowers shall pay all interest accrued and then owing to the Original Lenders, as more fully described in Section 4.01(i).

2.05 Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Arranger, the Administrative Agent and the Payment Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters.

- 37 -

2.06 Computation of Interest and Fees

. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year); provided that in the event that (i) the Alternative Rate provisions of Section 3.02 or 3.03 or (ii) the Default Rate applies, all computations of interest based upon the Alternative Rate when the Alternative Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Term Loan for the day on which the Term Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Term Loan or such portion is paid. Each determination by the Payment Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.07 Evidence of Debt; Issuance of Term Notes; Exchange and Surrender of Term Notes; Cancellation of Exchanged Term Notes.

(a) The Term Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Payment Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Payment Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Term Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to record or any error in so recording shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Payment Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Payment Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Upon the request of any Lender made through the Payment Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to that Lender (through the Payment Agent) a Term Note. Each such Term Note will be additional evidence of that Lender’s Term Loans, secondary to the accounts or records maintained pursuant to Section 2.07(a). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Term Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Term Loans and payments with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Payment Agent pursuant to Section 2.07(a) and any Term Note or schedules attached thereto, the accounts and records of the Payment Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Each existing Term Note owned by a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date shall be exchanged for another Term Note that will evidence that Lender’s then outstanding Term Loans in addition to the accounts or records maintained pursuant to Section 2.07(a). Each Lender will surrender its existing Term Note to the Payment Agent at the Payment Agent’s Office on the Closing Date. The Borrowers will execute and deliver to each Lender (through the Payment Agent) the Term Note that that Lender is entitled to receive.

(d) Any Term Note surrendered for exchange will be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Payment Agent and duly executed by the Lender desiring that exchange. All Term Notes issued upon any exchange of existing Term Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Borrowers, evidencing the same rights, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the existing Term Notes

- 38 -

surrendered upon exchange. For the avoidance of doubt any Term Note issued in exchange for a Term Note surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.07 will be deemed to amend and restate the Term Note that it replaces, and it will not be deemed to be a payment, settlement, or novation of the Term Note that it replaces. No service charge will be charged to a Lender for any exchange of its Term Note.

(e) All Term Notes surrendered to the Payment Agent for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.07 will be canceled by the Payment Agent promptly upon delivery of the replacement Term Note to the appropriate Lender. All canceled Term Notes held by the Payment will be disposed of by the Payment Agent in accordance with its standard practice.

2.08 Payments Generally.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Payment Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Payment Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Payment Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Payment Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Term Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Term Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(c) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Term Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Term Loan in any particular place or manner.

(d) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Payment Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

- 39 -

2.09 Sharing of Payments by Lenders

. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Payment Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or sub-participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or sub-participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i)

- 40 -

the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) any Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers or any such Loan Party, as the case may be, shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers or any such Loan Party, as the case may be, shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers and Parent. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers and Parent. The Borrowers and each other Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent and each Lender (each such Person a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Tax Indemnitee, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if a Tax Indemnitee fails to give notice to ThermaClime of the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes on or to be paid by such Tax Indemnitee within 90 days following its receipt of actual written notice of the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, there will be no obligation for the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties to pay to such Tax Indemnitee interest or penalties attributable to the period beginning after such 90th day and ending 7 days after ThermaClime receives notice from such Tax Indemnitee. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to ThermaClime by such Tax Indemnitee (with a copy to the Payment Agent), or by any Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower or other Loan Party, as the case may be, to a Governmental Authority, ThermaClime shall deliver to the Payment Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Payment Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower or other Loan Party, as the case may be, is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to ThermaClime (with a copy to the Payment Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers, such other Loan Party or the Payment Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or the Payment Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers, such other Loan Party or the Payment Agent as will

- 41 -

enable the Borrowers, such other Loan Party or the Payment Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower or other Loan Party, as the case may be, is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers, each such Loan Party and the Payment Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or the Payment Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower or Parent within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Tax Indemnitee determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 by the Borrowers or another Loan Party, as the case may be, or with respect to which the Borrowers or another Loan Party, as the case may be, has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify ThermaClime and pay to the Borrowers or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of the indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers or such other Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of any out-of-pocket expenses of such Tax Indemnitee and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, upon the request of such Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to it (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Tax Indemnitee if such Tax Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such repayment shall be delivered by such Tax Indemnitee to ThermaClime. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Person.

- 42 -

3.02 Illegality. If any Tranche A Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Tranche A Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Tranche A Loans accruing interest at rates based on the LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by that Tranche A Lender to the Borrowers through the Payment Agent, any obligation of that Tranche A Lender to make or continue Tranche A Loans accruing interest at a rate based on the LIBO Rate shall be suspended until that Tranche A Lender notifies the Payment Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from that Tranche A Lender (with a copy to the Payment Agent), prepay that Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Loans (and the amount of any prepayment to the extent such amount is required to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall not be subject to a Prepayment Fee) or, if available, convert the interest rate accruing on that Tranche A Lender’s Tranche A Loans to the Alternative Rate plus the Applicable Rate, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if that Tranche A Lender may lawfully continue to maintain those Tranche A Loans accruing interest at a rate based on the LIBO Rate to such day, or immediately, if that Tranche A Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain those Tranche A Loans accruing interest at a rate based on the LIBO Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates

. If the Required Tranche A Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Tranche A Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Tranche A Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Tranche A Loan, or (c) the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Tranche A Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Tranche A Lenders of funding such Tranche A Loan, the Payment Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Tranche A Lenders to make or maintain Tranche A Loans accruing interest at a rate based on the LIBO Rate shall be suspended until the Payment Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Tranche A Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Tranche A Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Tranche A Loans in the amount specified therein accruing interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Term Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e));

- 43 -

(ii) subject any non-foreign Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Term Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Term Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Term Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or will have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Term Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to ThermaClime shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender delivers to ThermaClime a certificate pursuant to Section 3.04(c) above or notifies ThermaClime of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on Term Loans. The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Term Loan by such Lender (as determined by such

- 44 -

Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Term Loan, provided ThermaClime shall have received at least 30 days prior notice (with a copy to the Payment Agent) of such additional interest with respect to the initial Payment Date for which such additional interest is due from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 30 days prior to the relevant Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Payment Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Term Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Term Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Term Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Term Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers; or

(c) any assignment of a Term Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 11.13;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Term Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Tranche A Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Tranche A Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Tranche A Loan made by it at the LIBO Rate for such Term Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Tranche A Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

- 45 -

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive repayment of all Obligations hereunder.

THE AGENTS

9.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints BALC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided that in no event shall the Administrative Agent have any powers or be required to take any actions other than those set forth in Section 11.01. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints BALC to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, including, without limitation, acting as Collateral Agent to the Lenders for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such actions, discretion and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided, however, in no event shall the Collateral Agent have any obligations under the Loan Documents to take any actions other than those described in or otherwise specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of Utah to act on its behalf as Payment Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Payment Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Payment Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) The Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or

- 85 -

for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Persons serving as the Agents hereunder each shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Persons serving as the Agents hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Agents shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Agents:

(a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, all of which such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that none of the Agents shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

None of the Agents shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by a Borrower or a Lender. None of the Agents shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the other Agents or any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the other Agents.

None of the Agents shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire (or in the case of clause (iv) cause or maintain except as specifically directed to do so by the Lenders) into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance

- 86 -

or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

9.04 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Payment Agent, as applicable.

9.06 Resignation of Agents. Each Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the retiring Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time

- 87 -

as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Payment Agent hereunder, as applicable, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Payment Agent, as applicable.

9.07 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

9.09 Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.05 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender (and the Administrative Agent,

- 88 -

as applicable) to make such payments to the Payment Agent and, if the Payment Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Payment Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.05 and 11.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Payment Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Payment Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.

9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01;

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by the final paragraph of Section 7.01.

Upon request by the Collateral Agent or the Payment Agent, as applicable, at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or for the Payment Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Collateral Agent or the Payment Agent, as applicable, will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

ARTICLE X.

CONTINUING GUARANTY

10.01 Guaranty. Each of Parent and Consolidated Industries (collectively, the “Article X Guarantors”, and each individually, an “Article X Guarantor”) hereby absolutely and unconditionally and jointly and severally guarantee, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand, or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all Obligations (in each case, after all applicable grace periods, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents), whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees,

- 89 -

indemnities, damages, costs, expenses, or otherwise, of the Borrowers to the Secured Parties, arising hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings, and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof). The Payment Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each of the Article X Guarantors, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations absent manifest error. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Article X Guarantor under this Guaranty (other than Indefeasible Payment and Performance of All Obligations), and each of the Article X Guarantors irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing (other than Indefeasible Payment and Performance of All Obligations).

10.02 Rights of Lenders. Each of the Article X Guarantors consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents; and (d) release or substitute either Article X Guarantor, one or more of any endorsers or any other guarantors of any of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Article X Guarantors consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of either Article X Guarantor under this Guaranty, or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of either Article X Guarantor.

10.03 Certain Waivers. Each of the Article X Guarantors waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or the other Article X Guarantor or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Secured Party) of the liability of any Borrower, other than Indefeasible Payment and Performance of All Obligations; (b) any defense based on any claim that obligations of either of the Article X Guarantors exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrowers; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting either Article X Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against any Borrower or the other Article X Guarantor, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever until such time as Indefeasible Payment and Performance of All Obligations; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party until such time as Indefeasible Payment and Performance of All Obligations; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties (other than Indefeasible Payment and Performance of All Obligations). Each of the Article X Guarantors expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments,

- 90 -

demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protests, notices of dishonor, and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation, or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.

10.04 Obligations Independent. The obligations of each of the Article X Guarantors hereunder are those of a primary obligor, and not merely as a surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of the other Article X Guarantor or of any other guarantor. A separate action may be brought against each Article X Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Borrower, the other Article X Guarantor, or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

10.05 Subrogation. Neither Article X Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any amounts are paid to either Article X Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured Parties to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

10.06 Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until Indefeasible Payment and Performance of All Obligations has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or either Article X Guarantor is made, or any of the Secured Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Secured Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, assignee, receiver, or any other party, in connection with any case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Secured Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty or either of the Article X Guarantors hereunder and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination, or reduction. The obligations of each of the Article X Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

10.07 Subordination. Each of the Article X Guarantors hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the Borrowers owing to it and the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the other Article X Guarantor owing to it, whether now existing or hereafter arising, relating to any obligation of the Borrowers to either Article X Guarantor or of either Article X Guarantor to the other Article X Guarantor, in both cases, as subrogee of the Secured Parties or resulting from any Article X Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the Indefeasible Payment and Performance of All Obligations. If the Secured Parties so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Borrower to either Article X Guarantor or of either Article X Guarantor to the other Article X Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Article X Guarantor, as the case may be, as trustee for the Secured Parties, and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Secured Parties on account of the Obligations, but

- 91 -

without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of each of the Article X Guarantors under this Guaranty.

10.08 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case or proceeding commenced by or against either of the Article X Guarantors, or any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable, jointly and severally, by each of the Article X Guarantors immediately upon demand by the Secured Parties.

10.09 Condition of Borrowers. Each of the Article X Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that it is jointly and severally responsible for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers, the other Article X Guarantor, and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business, and operations of the Borrowers, the other Article X Guarantor, and any such other guarantor as such Article X Guarantor requires, and that none of the Secured Parties has any duty, and neither of the Article X Guarantors is relying on the Secured Parties at any time, to disclose to it any information relating to the business, operations, or financial condition of any Borrower, the other Article X Guarantor, or any other guarantor (each of the Article X Guarantors waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

10.10 Joint and Several Liability. Each Article X Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Article X Guarantors are jointly and severally liable to the Secured Parties for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, and liabilities of each Article X Guarantor under this Guaranty. Each of the Article X Guarantors hereby further acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to proceed against one Article X Guarantor before proceeding against the other Article X Guarantor or to proceed against them together, and that the failure to proceed against one Article X Guarantor will not affect the other Article X Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including the prompt payment in full of any and all Obligations.

No failure by any Lender or any Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses (including, without limitation, Environmental Losses), claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Original Loan Agreement, any of the other original Loan Documents, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of any Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Original Loan Agreement, and the other original Loan Documents, (ii) any Term Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, Applicable Law or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by any Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing indemnity shall in no manner be

- 96-

construed to limit or adversely affect any of Indemnitee’s other rights under this Agreement, including Indemnitee’s rights to approve any remedial work or the contractors and consulting engineers retained in connection therewith.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of any Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Term Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

11.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Payment Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Payment Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such

- 97 -

demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Payment Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loans at the time owing to it under the Term Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the Outstanding Loan Balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Collateral Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless the Collateral Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

- 98 -

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans assigned;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 11.06(b)(i)(B), and, in addition:

(A) the consent of ThermaClime (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to an Eligible Assignee (as defined in clause (a) of such definition) that as of the date of the proposed assignment or sale would not be subject to capital adequacy or similar requirements under Section 3.04(b) or increased costs under Section 3.04(a); and

(B) the consent of the Payment Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Term Loan to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee (as defined in clause (a) of such definition).

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Payment Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $2,000; provided, however, that the Payment Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Payment Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Loan Parties. No such assignment shall be made to any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Payment Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Term Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.06(d).

- 99 -

(c) Register. The Payment Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an Agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Payment Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the principal amounts of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Payment Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Agents, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Loan Party or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.09 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with ThermaClime’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Term Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

- 100 -

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality

. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the consent of any Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Agents and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

11.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from

- 101 -

time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Payment Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

11.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Term Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. For the purposes hereof, a facsimile or electronic copy of a party’s signature shall be deemed an original signature. If duly requested, the manually-executed original documents shall be promptly delivered. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Term Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Term Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or

- 102 -

impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Payment Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Payment Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Outstanding Loan Balance of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such Outstanding Loan Balance and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ALL RESPECTS, BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) THAT WOULD PERMIT OR REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE COUNTY NEW YORK IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE, ETC. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE, OR OTHERWISE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING REFERRED TO IN SECTION 11.14(B), ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN SECTION 11.14(B), THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, THAT THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER, OR THAT THE RELATED DOCUMENTS OR SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF MAY NOT BE LITIGATED IN OR BY THOSE COURTS.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

11.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR BY ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ANY ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO (WHETHER SUCH AN ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY), AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER

- 104 -

AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.15. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION 11.15 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY, AND BARGAINED FOR AGREEMENT OF EACH PARTY HERETO TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

11.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents and the Arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Arranger, on the other hand, (B) each of the Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of the Loan Parties is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each Agent and the Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person; and (B) none of the Agents nor the Arranger has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agents and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Agents nor the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Loan Party or any of the Loan Parties’ respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agents and the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

11.17 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuance of its legitimate business purposes to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges and represents that its business is integrally related to the business of the other Borrowers, that the availability of the Term Loans to any of the Borrowers benefits each of the Borrowers individually and that the Term Loans made will be for and inure to the benefit of each of the Borrowers, individually and as a group. Accordingly, the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations. Additionally, the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable (as a principal and not as a surety, guarantor or other accommodation party) for each and every representation, warranty, covenant and obligation made by or to be performed by the Borrowers or any Borrower under this Agreement, the Term Notes and the other Loan Documents, and each Borrower acknowledges that, in extending the credit provided herein, the Agents and the Lenders are

relying upon the fact that the obligations of each Borrower hereunder are the joint and several obligations of a principal.

(b) To the maximum extent permitted by law, until such time as Indefeasible Payment and Performance of All Obligations has occurred each Borrower hereby waives any claim, right or remedy which such Borrower now has or hereafter acquires against any other Borrower that arises hereunder including, without limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of any Agent or any Lender against any Borrower or any Collateral which any Agent or any Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law. In addition, until such time as Indefeasible Payment and Performance of All Obligations has occurred each Borrower hereby waives any right to proceed against the other Borrowers, now or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, and any other suretyship rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, whether arising under express or implied contract or by operation of law, which any Borrower may now have or hereafter have as against the other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations and each Borrower also hereby waives any rights of recourse to or with respect to any asset of the other Borrowers.

11.18 Certain Consents and Additional Waivers.

(a) The Agents and the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time (after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure periods expressly provided for in the Loan Documents), without the consent of or notice to any Loan Party, except such notice as may be required by applicable statute and which cannot be waived, without incurring responsibility to any Loan Party, and without impairing or releasing the obligations of any Loan Party in whole or in part, (i) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Loan Party, (ii) to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner or in any order any property pledged or mortgaged to secure or in any manner securing the Obligations, (iii) take and hold any additional security for any or all of the Obligations, (iv) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations of any Loan Party to the Agents or the Lenders regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, each Loan Party hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any and all benefits and defenses under any statute, regulation, judicial decision or other law which purports to exonerate or reduce the liability of any other Loan Party as a result of any disability or absence of liability of such other Loan Party or any defense to liability or enforcement which any other Loan Party may have and agrees that, by so doing, such Loan Party’s obligations hereunder shall continue even if the other Loan Parties have no liability at the time of execution of this Agreement or thereafter ceased or cease to be liable. Each Loan Party also waives, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any and all benefits and defenses under any statute, regulation, judicial decision or other law which purports to limit the liability of any other Loan Party to that of such other Loan Party or to reduce the liability of any other Loan Party in proportion to any reduction in the liability of such other Loan Party and agrees that, by so doing, such Loan Party’s obligations hereunder may be more burdensome than that of the other Loan Parties.

- 106 -

(c) No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Obligations of a Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall affect, impair or be a defense to the Obligations of the other Loan Parties. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, each Loan Party waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the other Loan Parties or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Loan Parties or by reason of any act or omission of any Agent or any Lender or others which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of the other Loan Parties or any Obligations or any Collateral by operation of law or otherwise. The Obligations shall be enforceable against each Loan Party without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Obligations with respect to any of the other Loan Parties or any of the documents related thereto or any collateral security documents securing any of the Obligations. No exercise by any Agent or any Lender of, and no omission of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, any power or authority recognized herein and no impairment or suspension of any right or remedy of any Agent or any Lender against any Loan Party or any Collateral shall in any way suspend, discharge, release, exonerate or otherwise affect any of the Obligations or any Collateral furnished by the Loan Parties or give to the Loan Parties any right of recourse against any Agent or any Lender. Each Loan Party specifically agrees that the failure of any Agent or any Lender: (i) to perfect any lien on or security interest in any property heretofore or hereafter given by any Loan Party to secure payment of the Obligations, or to record or file any document relating thereto or (ii) to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws) of any Loan Party shall not in any manner whatsoever terminate, diminish, exonerate or otherwise affect the liability of any Loan Party hereunder.

(d) Each Loan Party, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, hereby waives any right, whether arising under any statute, regulation, judicial decision or otherwise, to require any Agent or any Lender to (i) proceed against any other Loan Party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security received from any other Loan Party, or (iii) pursue any other right or remedy in any Agent’s or the Lenders’ power whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, waives any and all marshaling rights or similar rights which may be available at law or in equity. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Loan Party whether or not action is brought against the other Loan Parties and whether the other Loan Parties are joined in any such action or actions; and each Loan Party waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, and agrees that any payment of any Obligations or other act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable thereto shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to the liability hereunder.

(e) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, each Loan Party further waives, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (i) any defense resulting from the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party or any security, whether resulting from an election by the Agents and the Lenders to foreclose upon security by judicial or non-judicial sale or otherwise; (ii) any setoff or counterclaim of such Loan Party or any defense of any kind (including defenses resulting from any disability) or the cessation or stay of enforcement from any cause whatsoever of the liability of such Loan Party (including without limitation the lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document); (iii) any right to exoneration, in whole or in part, of which would otherwise be applicable; and (iv) all valuation,

- 107 -

appraisal, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in effect. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, each Loan Party agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, its Obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances which constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety.

(f) Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has the ability, and hereby assumes the obligation and responsibility, to keep informed of the financial condition of the other Loan Parties and of other matters or circumstances affecting the ability of the other Loan Parties to pay or perform its obligations hereunder or the risk of nonpayment and nonperformance. Each Loan Party hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any obligation on the part of any Agent or any Lender to inform such Loan Party of the financial condition, or any changes in financial condition, of the other Loan Parties or of any other matter or circumstance which might affect the ability of any of the other Loan Parties to pay or perform under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance.

11.19 Limitations on Borrowers’ Liability; Borrowers Rights to Subrogation and Reimbursement. (a) In any action or proceeding arising under or related to any Debtor Relief Laws if the obligations of any Borrower under the Loan Documents would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable as a fraudulent transfer or otherwise as a result or on account of the amount of its liability under the Loan Documents, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Borrower or any other Person, including any third party acting on behalf of such Borrower, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable.

(a) In the event that any Collateral owned by a Borrower (the “Affected Borrower”) or the value thereof, is transferred or paid to the Lenders or an Agent in satisfaction of or is deemed to satisfy the obligations of another Borrower (the “Affiliate Obligations”), such Affected Borrower shall be subrogated to the Lender’s rights against the Article X Guarantors or under this Agreement with respect to such Affiliate Obligations, and shall have a right to reimbursement from Parent with respect to such Affiliate Obligations; provided that such right of subrogation and right to reimbursement shall be subordinated in all respects to the right of the Secured Parties under the guaranty at Article X, including the right to payment in full of all amounts payable thereunder.

11.20 Appointment of ThermaClime as Agent. Each other Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints ThermaClime as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Term Loans made by the Lenders, to any such Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by ThermaClime, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to ThermaClime in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower. It is understood that the handling of certain loan accounts and the Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion is done solely as an accommodation to

- 108 -

the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that none of the Lenders shall incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of such loan accounts and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Lender and hold each Lender harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against any Lender by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of any loan account and any Collateral of the Borrowers as herein provided, (b) any Lender relying on any instructions of ThermaClime, or (c) any other action taken by any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that the Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant indemnified Person under this Section 11.20 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified Person.

11.21 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

11.22 Release; Covenant Not to Sue.

(a) As good and valuable partial consideration for the amendment and restatement of the Original Loan Agreement and the extension of the Additional Term Loan Amounts, each Loan Party hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Payment Agent, each Lender, the Exiting Lender, and any and all participants, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, insurers, indemnitors, successors, and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors, officers, agents, attorneys, and employees of any of the foregoing (each, a “Released Party”), from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action of any kind, nature, or description, whether arising at law or in equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise, which the Loan Party has had, now has, or has made claim to have against any such Person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause, or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and including the Closing Date, whether those claims, demands, or causes of action are matured or unmatured or known or unknown. It is the intention of each Loan Party in providing this release that the same will be effective as a bar to each and every claim, demand, and cause of action specified, and, in furtherance of this intention, it waives and relinquishes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, all rights and benefits under any provision of any applicable Law that may provide that a general release does not extend to claims that the Person giving the release does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by it might have materially affected its settlement with the recipient of the release. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true with respect to such claims, demands, or causes of action, and agrees that this instrument shall be and remain effective in all respects, notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts. Each Loan Party understands,

- 109 -

acknowledges, and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense, and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit, or other proceeding that may be instituted, prosecuted, or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

(b) Each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Released Party that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding, or otherwise) any Released Party on the basis of any claim released, remised, or discharged by any Loan Party pursuant to the above stated release. If any Loan Party, or any of its successors, assigns, or other legal representatives violates the foregoing covenant, that Person, for itself and its successors, assigns, and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Released Party may sustain because of those violations, all attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by such Released Party because of such violation.

11.23 Amendment and Restatement. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect and shall continue to secure the Obligations. Each party hereto acknowledges and confirms that (i) the Obligations represent, among other things, the amendment, restatement, renewal, extension, consolidation and modification of the Obligations (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement) arising in connection with the Original Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement); (ii) the Original Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement) and the collateral pledged thereunder shall secure, without interruption or impairment of any kind, all existing Obligations (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement) under the Original Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement) as amended, restated, renewed, extended, consolidated or modified hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, together with all other Obligations; (iii) all Liens evidenced by the Collateral Documents are hereby ratified, confirmed and continued as modified, amended, or restated under the Loan Documents; and (iv) this Agreement is intended to restate, renew, extend, consolidate, amend, and modify the Original Loan Agreement in its entirety. Each party hereto intends that (i) the provisions of the Original Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement), to the extent restated, renewed, extended, consolidated, amended, or modified hereby and by the other Loan Documents, be hereby superseded and replaced by the provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents; and (ii) by entering into and performing their respective obligations hereunder, this transaction shall not constitute a novation and shall in no way adversely affect or impair the priority of Liens granted by the Collateral Documents.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

A.	ITEMS DISCUSSED IN PARENT’S FORM 10K FOR THE PERIOD ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2010

A. WATER: El Dorado Chemical Company’ (“EDC”)- EDC’s El Dorado, Arkansas facility generates process wastewater consisting of cooling tower and boiler blowdowns, contact stormwater (rainfall inside the plant area which picks up contaminants), and miscellaneous spills and leaks from process equipment. This wastewater has historically been collected and transported to a small pond for pH adjustment and then to a large pond for biological oxidation. Primary contaminants are ammonia, nitrate and sulfate.

Wastewater: The process water discharge and storm water runoff (“Discharge Water”) are governed by a State permit renewed every five (5) years. The prior permit expired in 1995, and after several extensions, the permit was renewed on June 1, 2004 which included more restrictive permit limits. The compliance deadline for the more restrictive permit was June 1, 2007.

EDC has demonstrated its ability to comply with the more restrictive ammonia and nitrate permit limits over the past several months. EDC initiated, and Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”) approved a rule change to address the more restrictive dissolved minerals permit limits. Although the rule is a state rule, any revision must also be approved by EPA before it becomes effective. The rule has been submitted to EPA for approval. Once the rule change is complete, the permit limits can be modified to incorporate achievable dissolved minerals permit limits. EDC has demonstrated the ability to comply with the dissolved minerals permit limits without the revisions that will occur when the third party rulemaking is formally approved. However, for long term compliance assurance, EDC is continuing to pursue the rulemaking and permit modification. EPA issued an Administrative Order to EDC requesting EDC to demonstrate compliance with the Permit or submit a plan for bringing the facility into compliance. EDC has responded and has met with EPA, explaining that it is in compliance and describing its contingency plans. While EPA may take additional enforcement action, it is not possible to predict what, if any additional enforcement may be taken or whether any civil penalties may be sought for past or future violations, if any should occur.

A 1998 Consent Administrative Order (“CAO”) recognizes the presence of nitrate contamination in the shallow groundwater, and requires EDC to undertake onsite bioremediation. The bioremediation has not proven to be effective. The permit, which became effective June 1, 2004, provides that a new CAO will be executed to address the shallow groundwater contamination, and that the new CAO will include an evaluation of

Page 1 of 4

the current conditions and remediation based upon a risk assessment. On November 16, 2006, a CAO which addresses groundwater became effective. The groundwater CAO requires EDC to continue semi-annual groundwater monitoring, to continue operation of a groundwater recovery system, to submit a human health and ecological risk assessment, and a remedial action plan. The risk assessment was submitted to the ADEQ on August 9, 2007, and the remedial action plan was submitted to ADEQ on November 6, 2007. To date, ADEQ has not addressed either of these documents.

Slurry Explosive Corporation (“SEC”) - Kansas Department of Environmental Quality (KDHE). On February 5, 2002, the KDHE delivered to SEC a proposed Administrative Order (AO) to address releases of contaminants from the facility into the soils, surface water and groundwater. KDHE and SEC agreed upon the terms of an AO which has been executed. The basis for the AO is the presence of ammonia, nitrate and perchlorate contamination, primarily from historical operations (prior to SEC). Pursuant to the AO, SEC is undertaking a comprehensive investigation of the surface and subsurface contamination and a corrective action strategy based on the results of a risk assessment. Interim measures to address certain areas of contamination are also required. SEC has placed the prior owners of the facility (which have merged into Chevron-Texaco) on notice of their responsibility for contribution toward the costs to investigate and remediate this site. Representatives of Chevron-Texaco have indicated their desire to resolve their financial responsibility and have agreed to pay for one-half of the costs of investigation and remediation on an interim, non-binding basis. SEC and Chevron-Texaco have also entered into a written agreement to each pay for one-half of the costs of interim measures approved by the KDHE, subject to reallocation.

Based on additional modeling of the site, Slurry and Chevron expect to pursue a course with the KDHE of long-term surface and ground water monitoring to track the natural decline in contamination, instead of the soil excavation proposed previously. We estimate the costs relating to this course of action to be substantially less than the cost of soil excavation. The KDHE has approved our proposal to perform two years of surface and groundwater monitoring and to implement a Mitigation Work Plan to acquire additional field data in order to more accurately characterize the nature and extent of contaminant migration off-site. The two-year monitoring program terminated in February, 2009. An addendum to the mitigation work plan was submitted to the KDHE on May 7, 2009 and the final report on the groundwater monitoring was submitted on May 4, 2009. On June 30, 2009, Chemex received a letter from KDHE with comments and questions on the addendum to the mitigation work plan. Company response to those comments was submitted on July 27, 2009. Additional comments from KDHE were received on September 18, 2009. A meeting with KDHE was held September 24, 2009 to discuss the overall status of the project including the comments on the Mitigation Plan and a path forward. The meeting was very constructive and a timeline for various deliverables to the KDHE was prepared and submitted to the KDHE. A meeting was held with the KDHE on February 23, 2010 to discuss the preparation of a risk assessment work plan that would satisfy the consultants that KDHE has contracted with to review the

Page 2 of 4

risk assessment. The work plan was submitted July 9, 2010, with KDHE response due by September 9, 2010. KDHE responded with its comments on the work plan on November 4, 2010. The Company submitted its response to comments on December 3, 2010. Additionally, the Company received a letter from the KDHE dated March 18, 2010 with questions regarding the Perchlorate Remedial Alternative Management System (PRAMS) report submitted to KDHE in March, 2007 but not reviewed by KDHE until the issue was discussed at the February, 2010 meeting. Our response to this set of questions was submitted April 22, 2010.

A meeting was held with KDHE staff on June 29, 2010. As a result of this meeting, KDHE will require the additional work to satisfy investigative gaps including: additional sediment testing in the drainage ditch into Horseshoe Lake; soil characterization in the drainage ditch along the east side of the entry road; installation of a deep well to delineate the vertical extent of the contamination. At the meeting, Chemex I was also notified that the site had been referred to the Natural Resources Damages trustee for review. Soil sampling was conducted on August 12, 2010, and sediment sampling was conducted on August 30, 2010. A report on the results of the solid and sediment sampling was submitted to the KDHE on December 3, 2010. Installation of the deep well began on October 16, 2010. Subsequent sampling of the well resulted in non-detect for perchlorate. A final report on the deep well was submitted to KDHE on December 28, 2010 requesting that the vertical delineation be considered complete and the deep well plugged. A meeting was held with KDHE and their consultants on the risk assessment on January 6, 2011, to discuss any remaining data gaps and the results of the recent reports. As a result of this meeting, the preparation of the risk assessment will continue forward and soil data gaps will be addressed with additional soil sampling during the spring of 2011. KDHE also requested two additional sampling events of the deep well.

EPA Information Requests to EDC and Cherokee Nitrogen Company Facilities. On August 28, 2008, EPA sent an information request to Cherokee Nitrogen Company (“Cherokee Request”), pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act, 42 USC 7414(a) (“CAA”) On March 12, 2009, EPA sent an information request to LSB Industries (“LSB Request”), pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act, 42 USC 7414(a). The LSB Request was directed at the El Dorado, Arkansas facility. The Cherokee Request seeks information regarding construction and modification activities since 1990 that will enable EPA to determine whether this facility violated the new source review (“NSR”) requirements of the CAA prevention of Significant Air Quality Deterioration regulations (“PSD”). The LSB Request similarly seeks information regarding construction and modification activities since 1980 that will enable EPA to determine whether this facility violated the NSR requirements. The Cherokee Request and LSB Request are part of a nationwide initiative directed at all (or most) of the nitric acid plants in the United States. There has been considerable disagreement and confusion regarding what types of modifications would trigger a NSR review. Many maintenance turnaround activities would result in improved efficiencies such that production would increase, resulting in actual emissions increases over pre-turnaround conditions that could be significant

Page 3 of 4

enough to trigger NSR review. The PSD rules exempt “routine repair and replacement” activities, and EPA’s enforcement initiatives in other manufacturing sectors (electric power generation, petroleum refinery, pulp and paper, wood products, etc.) have focused on whether this exemption would apply to particular repairs and equipment replacements. EPA contends that “routine” means routine at the facility, such that repairs and replacement of equipment that only occurs once in the lifetime of the plant is not “routine”. EPA’s interpretation has been accepted by some courts, yet at least one court has held that “routine” means the type of repairs and equipment replacement that are routine in the industry; i.e. replacement of equipment that is routinely replaced at nitric acid plants could be considered “routine” under this alternative interpretation.

After obtaining extensions, the Company completed its responses to the Cherokee Request on November 25, 2008. The Company completed its responses to the LSB Request on May 19, 2009. The Company met with EPA on May 7, 2009 to discuss the prospects of a mutually acceptable resolution of these matters.

Following that meeting, and at EPA’s suggestion, the Company submitted a letter to EPA on June 9, 2009 offering to enter into good faith negotiations regarding a global settlement. If successful, a global settlement would include a civil penalty and a requirement to install new control technology designed to reduce air emission pollutants to agreed upon levels that represent the best available control technology for the industry. We learned in late October that the Department of Justice will not allow the EPA to negotiate a global settlement with us until the EPA has completed its review of our Section 114 responses. This review could take a year or more. On June 9, 2010, EDC received a letter from EPA requesting additional information related to historical maintenance activities. A partial response was submitted by the deadline of July 2, 2010, and a request for extension of time until July 23, 2010 was submitted and approved by EPA for the remaining requested information. Additional data from EDC was requested by EPA on September 23, 2010. That data was forwarded by EDC to the EPA on September 30, 2010.

In the event any of these facilities did trigger the NSR requirements, EPA could assess civil penalties of up to $27,500 per day and require the facility to retrofit with the “best available control technology”, which would be determined by evaluating the “best” air pollution control technology that is being utilized at other nitric acid plants in the United States. At this time, it is premature to assess the potential that either the Cherokee, Alabama facility or the El Dorado, Arkansas facility may have triggered the NSR requirements, and it is not possible at this time to assess what civil penalties might be assessed or what type of emission control technology might be imposed.

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND CONSENT AGREEMENT

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, pursuant to this ASSIGNMENT AND CONSENT AGREEMENT (this “Assignment”), and to secure the payment and performance by [NAME OF BORROWER PARTY TO ASSIGNED AGREEMENTS], a [_____________ _____________]1 (the “Assignor”) of the Obligations, the Assignor does hereby collaterally assign unto BANC OF AMERICA LEASING & CAPITAL, LLC, not in its individual capacity but solely as collateral agent for the Lenders (together with any successors and assigns, in that capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), all of the Assignor’s right, title, and interest in and to each of the agreements listed on Schedule 1 hereto, as each such agreement may hereafter be executed, supplemented, modified, or amended from time to time (the “Assigned Agreements”); provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or liability of any kind under or with respect to the Assigned Agreements, either before or after the Collateral Agent’s exercise of any rights hereby granted to it.

For all purposes hereof, the capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned thereto in that certain Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March ___, 2011 (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among ThermaClime, L.L.C., the Assignor, and certain of their Affiliates, as borrowers, LSB Industries, Inc., as a guarantor, Consolidated Industries Corp., as a guarantor, each lender from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), the Collateral Agent, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, and Bank of Utah, as payment agent. The general interpretive provisions of Section 1.02 of the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Assignment.

This Assignment shall be effective as of ______________, 20___.

This Assignment shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the Assignor and its successors and assigns, and shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash, performed, and satisfied, at which time this Assignment will terminate. The Collateral Agent will not exercise any of its rights hereunder until there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Assignment, the Assignor assigns, conveys, and transfers to the Collateral Agent, and creates in favor of the Collateral Agent a security interest, as security for the Obligations, in, all of the Assignor’s rights, titles, interests, privileges, benefits, and remedies in, to, and under the Assigned Agreements, including, without limitation, all of the Assignor’s (i) rights to receive moneys due and to become due under or pursuant to any Assigned Agreement, (ii) rights to receive insurance proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty, guaranty, or collateral security with respect to any Assigned Agreement, (iii) claims for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under any Assigned Agreement, (iv) rights to terminate any Assigned Agreement, to perform thereunder, and to compel performance and

1 Insert the Assignor’s jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and what type of entity it is.

otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder, and (v) to the extent not included in the foregoing, proceeds of any and all of the foregoing collateral.

Neither this Assignment nor any action or omission by any Agent or any Lender shall constitute, or be deemed or construed to constitute, an assumption by any Agent or any Lender of any of the Assignor’s obligations under any of the Assigned Agreements, and the Assignor shall continue to be liable for all of the Assignor’s obligations under the Assigned Agreements. The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any such Assigned Agreements by reason of this Assignment; nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Assignor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. Notice of the acceptance of this Assignment by the Collateral Agent is waived by the Assignor.

The Assignor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a duly executed Consent in the form of Exhibit A to this Assignment from the applicable Contract Party (as defined below) with respect to each Assigned Agreement; provided that no failure or delay by the Assignor in delivering any Consent shall limit, affect or invalidate the assignment to the Collateral Agent of all of the Assigned Agreements as set forth herein or the Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or remedies under this Assignment with respect to any of the Assigned Agreements. For purposes of this Assignment, “Contract Party” means a party to any of the Assigned Agreements other than the Assignor.

The Assignor hereby represents to the Agents and the Lenders as follows: (a) that no authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required either (i) for the grant by the Assignor or the assignment and security interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery, and performance of this Assignment by the Assignor, or (ii) for the perfection of or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder; and (b) as of the date of this Assignment (i) no default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, if uncured, would constitute a default by the Assignor or to the Assignor’s knowledge by Contract Party has occurred under the Assigned Agreements, and (ii) all amounts due and payable to Contract Party under the Assigned Agreements have been paid in full.

This Assignment is a present, perfected, and absolute assignment; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not have the right to enforce the provisions of any Assigned Agreement until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. During the continuance of any such Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, without affecting any other right or remedy available to it and without releasing the Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under the Assigned Agreements, exercise its rights under this Assignment as provided herein and in the Loan Documents in any manner permitted by law. If any notice to the Assignor is required by law, such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given at least ten (10) days prior to the date of intended action.

All rights of the Collateral Agent and the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, and all obligations of the Assignor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) any failure of any Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any other Loan Party, any other Person, or any

other collateral under the provisions of the other Loan Documents or otherwise, (b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations or any other extension, compromise, or renewal of any of the Obligations, (c) any reduction, limitation, impairment, or termination of any Obligations for any reason other than the indefeasible payment in full and in cash and the performance in full of the Obligations, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration, or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the Assignor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or circumstance affecting, any Obligations, (d) any amendment to, recission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) any addition, exchange, release, surrender, or non-perfection of any collateral (including the Collateral), or any amendment to or waiver or release of or addition to or consent to departure from any guaranty, for any of the Obligations, or (f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Assignor or any other Loan Party other than the indefeasible payment in full and in cash and the performance in full of the Obligations.

This Assignment may be effectively waived, modified, amended, or terminated only by a written instrument executed by the Collateral Agent and the Assignor. Any waiver by the Collateral Agent shall be effective only with respect to the specific instance described therein. Delay or course of conduct shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of the Collateral Agent.

THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL, IN ALL RESPECTS, BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) THAT WOULD PERMIT OR REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. This Assignment and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

The provisions of Articles V and VI of the Security Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Assignment.

The Assignor acknowledged and agrees that this Assignment is a Collateral Document.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.

FORM OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF AND CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT

The undersigned, [______________] (the “Contract Party”) hereby acknowledges notice of, and consents to the terms and provisions of, the foregoing Assignment and Consent Agreement, dated as of [____________, 20___] (the “Assignment”), made by [NAME OF BORROWER PARTY TO ASSIGNED AGREEMENTS], a [_____________ _____________]2 (the “Assignor”) in favor of BANC OF AMERICA LEASING & CAPITAL, LLC, not in its individual capacity but solely as collateral agent for the Lenders (together with any successors and assigns, in that capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), pursuant to which the Assignor assigned to the Collateral Agent, as security under that certain Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement, dated as of March ___, 2011 (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among ThermaClime, L.L.C., the Assignor, and certain of their Affiliates, as borrowers, LSB Industries, Inc., as a guarantor, Consolidated Industries Corp., as a guarantor, each lender from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), the Collateral Agent, as administrative agent (in that capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent, and Bank of Utah, as payment agent (the “Payment Agent”, all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under the [____________] (the “Agreement”), which rights may not be enforced by the Collateral Agent, unless an Event of Default occurs and is continuing.

The Contract Party confirms that: (i) attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true, correct, and complete copy of the Agreement, and that there are no amendments, modifications, or supplements thereto; and (ii) the Agreement is in full force and effect and constitutes the entire agreement between the Assignor and the Contract Party.

The Contract Party agrees to look solely to the Assignor for the performance of all of the obligations of the Assignor under the Agreement. The undersigned parties agree that none of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Payment Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective successors and assigns is personally liable for, or required to assume any claims or obligations incurred under the Agreement. If any person, including any Lender, purchases the rights of the Collateral Agent under the Assignment with respect to the Agreement upon foreclosure or otherwise or accepts such rights in satisfaction of an attendant debt, such person or entity may be required upon or following such purchase to agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Agreement and to become subject to the obligations and liabilities of the Assignor arising under the Agreement following such purchase or acceptance, and such person or entity shall have all rights and benefits of the Assignor under the Agreement.

The Contract Party agrees that it shall provide written notice to the Collateral Agent of any default or breach, which has not been waived or cured, under the Agreement by the Assignor (a “Claimed Default”). Furthermore, the Contract Party agrees that if it is entitled to terminate the Agreement by reason of a Claimed Default, the Contract Party will not terminate the

2 Insert the Assignor’s jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and what type of entity it is.

Agreement, unless (i) it has given written notice of such Claimed Default to the Collateral Agent, and has given the Collateral Agent the applicable period under the Agreement (but in no event less than forty-five (45) days after such notice) to exercise its rights under the preceding paragraph to cure or cause to be cured all monetary defaults, if any, of the Assignor under the Agreement and any other defaults, if any, of the Assignor under the Agreement which may prevent Contract Party from performing its obligations under the Agreement, so that it can qualify for payment under the Agreement, and (ii) within forty-five (45) days after notice from the Contract Party of the Contract Party’s intent to terminate the Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Agreement by reason of the Assignor’s continuing default under the Agreement, the Collateral Agent has not cured (or caused to be cured) all such defaults of any kind or nature of the Assignor under the Agreement, or if not curable within such forty-five (45) day period, the Collateral Agent shall not have commenced the cure (or caused the commencement of the cure) within such period or, if the Collateral Agent is prohibited by law or judicial order from commencing such action, then as soon as reasonably possible, and does not thereafter diligently pursue such cure. In addition, the Contract Party agrees that if the Contract Party is or may be entitled to terminate the Agreement for any reason other than a Claimed Default, including a force majeure event, insolvency of the Assignor, suspension of the work or otherwise, for which the Assignor may, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, take certain actions to avoid such termination, the Contract Party shall not terminate the same, unless (i) it has given written notice to the Collateral Agent, and (ii) the Collateral Agent has not taken such actions (or caused such actions to be taken) on behalf of the Assignor as may be required under the Agreement in order to avoid such termination within any applicable period (but in no event less than forty-five (45) days of such notice). With respect to a Claimed Default, the Contract Party also acknowledges and agrees that upon the payment by the Collateral Agent or its Successors (as defined below) of all outstanding monetary amounts then due and payable by the Assignor to the Contract Party under the Agreement, and provided that the Collateral Agent has given the Contract Party a Notice of Exercise (as defined below), the Collateral Agent or its Successors (as defined below) shall be entitled to all of the rights of the Assignor under the Agreement.

In the event that the Assignor becomes the subject of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding and the Agreement is rejected or terminated as a result of such proceeding, the Contract Party agrees, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, to enter into a new agreement with the Collateral Agent or its designated assignee on the same terms and conditions for the remaining term of the Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent or its designated assignee has complied with all of its obligations set forth in this Acknowledgement of and Consent to Assignment.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the receipt by the Contract Party of written notice from the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent is exercising, or has exercised, its remedies (a “Notice of Exercise”), to assign or sell the Assignor’s rights under the Agreement to one or more purchase(s) or assignee(s) (a “Successor”). The Contract Party agrees that it will not charge any fee or other amount in connection with such assignment or sale.

Upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, the Contract Party agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent (and any Successor) an estoppel certificate in respect of the Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent.

II. OPINIONS

Based on the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth below, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Parent is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the corporate power and authority, and holds all requisite governmental license, permits, and other approvals (other than such licenses, permits, or approvals the absence of which would not result in a Material Adverse Effect), to own and lease its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Consolidated Industries is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Oklahoma, and has the corporate power and authority, and holds all requisite governmental license, permits, and other approvals (other than such licenses, permits, or approvals the absence of which would not result in a Material Adverse Effect), to own and lease its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Except for Climate Master, each Borrower is validly existing as a corporation

March 29, 2011

Page 6

or limited liability company, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of the State of Oklahoma, and has the corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority, and holds all requisite governmental license, permits, and other approvals (other than such licenses, permits, or approvals the absence of which would not result in a Material Adverse Effect), to own and lease its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Climate Master is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the corporate power and authority, and holds all requisite governmental license, permits, and other approvals (other than such licenses, permits, or approvals the absence of which would not result in a Material Adverse Effect), to own and lease its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each of the Borrowers is a wholly-owned subsidiary (direct or indirect) of Consolidated Industries, and Consolidated Industries is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent.

2. Each of the Parent and Climate Master is in good standing as a foreign corporation under the laws of the State of Oklahoma and in each other jurisdiction where it is required to qualify to do business other than where the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Cherokee and CNC is in good standing as a foreign corporation under the laws of the State of Alabama and in each other jurisdiction where it is required to qualify to do business other than where the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of El Dorado and NFC is in good standing as a foreign corporation under the laws of the State of Arkansas and in each other jurisdiction where it is required to qualify to do business other than where the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the other Borrowers and Consolidated Industries is in good-standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where it is required to qualify to do business other than where the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect

3. Each of the Loan Parties has the corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; and the execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Transaction Documents to which each such Loan Party is a party and the performance by each such Loan Party of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, action on the part of each such Loan Party.

4. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party thereto.

5. Each of the Transaction Documents constitute legal, valid, and binding obligations of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms.

6. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Transaction Documents to which each such Loan Party is a party and the performance by such Loan Party of its obligations

March 29, 2011

Page 7

thereunder will not: (i) violate any provision of such Loan Party’s respective Organization Documents; (ii) violate any Applicable Law (as defined below); (iii) violate any order, judgment, or decree of any domestic court or other agency of domestic government that is binding upon any such Loan Party or the assets of such Loan Party; (iv) constitute a default under any terms, conditions, or provisions of any of the agreements described on the Schedules to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement or any other material agreement or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or to which such Loan Party is or its assets are bound which breach or defect would have a Material Adverse Effect; or (v) result in the creation of any Lien upon such Borrower’s property, other than in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders as contemplated by the Loan Documents.

7. No registration, authorization, filing with, consent, approval, withholding of objection of, notice to, or other action by, any governmental entity is required under any Applicable Law in connection with the execution, delivery, or performance by any Loan Party of the Transaction Documents to which such Loan Party is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (other than such registration, authorization, filing, consent, approval, withholding of objection, notice, or other actions that have been completed or obtained (as applicable) prior to the date hereof and except for the filing of the Mortgage Amendments and the Reaffirmation of the Trademark Security Agreement listed in Schedule 4.01(a)(iii) to the Loan Agreement). The Parent is required to disclose the Term Loan Facility in its Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

8. Except as set forth on the Schedules to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, there is no action, suit, or proceeding before, or instituted by, any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending or to my knowledge filed but not yet served or threatened against any Loan Party: (i) asserting the invalidity of any of the Transaction Documents; (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to, if adversely determined, have a Material Adverse Effect.

9. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Payment Agent, or any of the Lenders is required under the laws of the State to qualify as a foreign corporation or otherwise qualify in the State to file a designation for service of process or similar type of filing in the State solely as a result of its execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

10. The provisions of the Security Agreement created in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as of the Original Closing Date, a valid security interest under Article 9 of the UCC in all right, title, and interest of the Grantors in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the UCC (the “UCC Collateral”). The provisions of the Security Agreement, as reaffirmed and modified by the Reaffirmation of the Security Agreement, are effective to maintain the validity

March 29, 2011

Page 8

of the security interest described in the preceding sentence, including (for the avoidance of doubt) with respect to the Obligations set forth in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.

11. The provisions of the Trademark Security Agreement created in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as of the Original Closing Date, a valid security interest in all right, title, and interest of the Loan Parties in the Trademark Collateral as defined in the Trademark Security Agreement (the “Trademark Collateral”). The Trademark Security Agreement when filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) will have been filed in all public offices in which such filing is necessary to perfect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Trademark Collateral described therein to the extent the same can be perfected by filing with the USPTO. The provisions of the Trademark Security Agreement, as reaffirmed and modified by the Reaffirmation of the Trademark Security Agreement, are effective to maintain the validity of the security interest described in the first sentence of this paragraph 11, including (for the avoidance of doubt) with respect to the Obligations set forth in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.

12. When the Oklahoma Financing Statement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, was filed with the OK County Clerk, it was filed in all public offices in the State in which such filing is necessary to perfect the interests of the Secured Parties in the UCC Collateral described therein to the extent a security interest in the UCC Collateral may be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 Financing Statement. No other recordation or filing need be made, and no other action need be taken, in order to maintain such perfection of the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in the UCC Collateral, except for UCC continuation statements.

13. Except for the filings and recordings described above, no approval, consent, or withholding of objection on the part of, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority is required to be made or taken in the State to establish, protect and preserve title to, interests in, liens on, and security interests in the Collateral as contemplated by the Loan Documents, except for UCC continuation statements.

14. Except for nominal filing or recording fees payable at the time of filing or recording of the Oklahoma Financing Statement, no taxes (other than state and federal income tax paid on interest or fees accruing on the Loan), fees, or other charges imposed by the State, county, or any other local governmental entity are payable by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Payment Agent, or the Lenders solely as a result of the execution, delivery, recordation, or filing (where applicable) of the Loan Documents and all other instruments delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby.

15. (a) Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a copy of the UCC search report summary that was obtained by Capital Services from the State of Oklahoma with respect to Borrowers (the “CS Report”). The CS Report identifies no still effective financing statement covering any of the

March 29, 2011

Page 9

Collateral naming the Grantors, as debtors filed in the UCC filing offices for the State of Oklahoma prior to March 1, 2011, except for the Oklahoma Financing Statement.

16. The description of the UCC Collateral (except for tort claims arising after the date of this opinion) contained in the Oklahoma Financing Statement is legally sufficient under the laws of the State of Oklahoma for the purpose of subjecting such collateral to the lien of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders.

17. The provisions in the Loan Documents concerning interest, late fees, prepayment premiums, default rate of interest, and other charges, including the methods of calculation and payment thereof, are not usurious under, or otherwise violative of, the laws of the State.

18. The express choice of law of the State of New York to govern the Loan Documents (excluding all of the real estate security documents listed in Schedule 4.01(a)(iii)) is enforceable and will be recognized by the courts in the State. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such court did not give effect to such choice of laws provisions and held that the laws of the State governed the Loan Documents, each such Loan Document would constitute the valid, binding, and enforceable obligation of the parties thereto (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a) in section III herein).

19. A decision by a New York court to grant a money judgment would be respected by a state or federal court in the State.

20. The laws of the State do not require a lienholder to make an election of remedies where such lienholder holds security interests and liens on both the real and the personal property of a debtor or to take recourse first or solely against or otherwise exhaust its remedies against its collateral before otherwise proceeding to enforce against that debtor the obligations of that debtor.

21. None of the Loan Parties is: (a) a public utility company within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; (b) subject to current regulation thereunder; or (c) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, subject to current regulation thereunder, or subject to any federal or state regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness for borrowed money or encumber its real or personal property assets.

III. ASSUMPTIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS

The opinions expressed in Section II above are subject to the following assumptions and qualifications:

(a) The opinion set forth in Paragraph 5 of Section II above are subject to, and may be limited by: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, rearrangement, liquidation, conservatorship, fraudulent conveyance, and other similar laws (including court decisions) now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally; (ii) general principles of equity (including without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, and fair dealing, and the award of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies being in the discretion of the court to which application for such relief is made), regardless of whether enforceability of the applicable agreements is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; and (iii) as they relate to certain remedial or procedural provisions of the applicable agreements, applicable federal and state laws (including court decisions, and including any delays in the enforcement of any such remedial provisions which may result therefrom), but such laws and court decisions do not, in my opinion, subject to the matters referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), interfere with the practical realization of the benefits purported to be provided by the remedial and procedural provisions of the applicable agreements.

(b) I have assumed that: (i) each document submitted to me for review is accurate and complete, each such document that is an original is authentic, each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original, all signatories to such documents (other than the Loan Parties) have been duly authorized, and all signatures on each document (other than the Loan Parties) are genuine; (ii) there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress, or undue influence; (iii) the conduct of the parties has complied with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing, and conscionability; and (iv) except with respect to the Transaction Documents, there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement, or qualify the terms of any of the agreements or documentation on which I have opined.

(c) With respect to the opinion set forth in Paragraph 5 of Section II above, other than with respect to the Loan Parties, I have assumed that each of the other parties to the Transaction Documents is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, with all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its respective obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. In each case, with respect to the opinion set forth in Paragraph 5 of Section II above other than with respect to the Loan Parties, I have assumed that each of the Transaction Documents: (i) constitutes the legal, valid, and binding agreement of each other party thereto, enforceable against each such other party thereto (subject to the qualifications set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section III); and (ii) has been duly and validly authorized, executed, and delivered by each other party thereto.

March 29, 2011

Page 11

(d) With respect to the opinions set forth in Paragraphs 12 and 13 of Section II above, further filings under the UCC may be necessary to preserve and maintain (to the extent established and perfected by the filing of a financing statement as described herein), the perfection of the security interests of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in the UCC Collateral, as follows:

(1) appropriate continuation filings to be made within the period of six months prior to the expiration of the fifth anniversary of the date of the original filing of the applicable financing statement;

(2) filings required to be made within four months of the change of name, identity, or corporate structure of the debtor to the extent set forth in Sections 9-507 and 9-508 of the UCC;

(3) filings required to be made within four months after the respective debtor changes its location, to the extent set forth in Section 9-316 of the UCC; and

(4) filings required within one year after the transfer of collateral to a Person that becomes a debtor and is located in another jurisdiction, to the extent set forth in Section 9-316 of the UCC.

(e) With regard to the opinions expressed herein, I express no opinion:

(i) as to any federal securities or state blue sky laws, rules, or regulations;

(ii) as to the enforceability of provisions in any of the Transaction Documents relating to waiver or rights to trial by jury.

(iii) the enforceability of any provisions which purport to restrict, limit, or prevent access to legal or equitable remedies, which purport to waive any rights to notices or any other legal rights, or which purport to establish evidentiary standards;

(iv) the enforceability of any provisions relating to delay or omissions of the enforcement of rights or remedies, waiver or ratification of future acts, consent judgments, or marshalling of assets;

(v) any federal or state environmental laws;

(vi) the creation or perfection of any security interest or lien in and to (A) any real property (or fixtures located thereon), (B) “farm products” (as defined in the UCC), (C) “timber”, “as-extracted collateral” (as described in UCC

March 29, 2011

Page 12

Section), or (D) other than as stated herein, intellectual property; provided, however, to my knowledge, the Collateral does not include any farm products or timber;

(vii) as to the solvency of the Parent, Consolidated Industries, or the Borrowers, individually or on a consolidated basis; or

(viii) as to any other matters not covered by the opinions set forth above in this letter.

(f) The phrase “to my knowledge” means actual knowledge.

(g) Provisions of the Transaction Documents which purport to indemnify any party against or release any party from, liability for any acts that are unenforceable to the extent such acts are determined to be unlawful, negligent, reckless, or constitute willful misconduct.

(h) Without limitation of the opinion provided in Paragraph 17 in Section II above, the provisions at Section 11.09 of the Loan Agreement purporting to exculpate any party from any violation of usuary laws by the ipso facto reduction of interest in excess of the maximum rate, or the application of such excess interest to principal or return thereof to the Borrowers are unenforceable based on Oklahoma Preferred Finance & Loan Corporation v. Morrow, 497 P.2d 221 (1972).

(i) As to enforceability of those portions of the Transaction Documents that provide if any provision of the Transaction Documents are determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, where any such provision is an essential part of the Transaction Documents, and the parties would not have entered in to the documents absent such provision.

(j) The enforceability of the Transaction Documents is subject to the effect of principles of law regarding course of dealing and performed oral modification to the Transaction Documents.

(k) “State” means the State of Oklahoma. “Applicable Laws” means those laws, rules, and regulations of the United States, the State of Oklahoma, and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware.

(l) I express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws, rules, and regulations of the United States, the State of Oklahoma, and the corporate law of Delaware.

Re:

Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated as of March 29, 2011, by and among the Borrowers, Parent, Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”), Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, as collateral agent (“Collateral Agent”, and together with Administrative Agent, the “Agents”), and the various financial institutions and other institutional investors which are parties thereto from time to time, as Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”, and together with the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, the “Lender Parties”).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are special counsel to the Agents in the State of Alabama (the “State”) in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement among Borrowers, Parent, the Agents and the Lenders listed on Schedule 1.01(d) thereof, and the other Loan Documents to be executed or delivered to the Agents or such Lenders by one or more of the Loan Parties, and the term loan facility made available thereunder (the “Loan”). This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(viii) of the Loan Agreement. Unless the context shall otherwise require, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Article I of the Loan Agreement.

In rendering this opinion, we have reviewed unexecuted forms of the following documents (collectively, the “Loan Documents”):

1. The Loan Agreement;

2. Amendment Number One to the Mortgage, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Alabama Mortgage Amendment”) executed by Cherokee Nitrogen Holdings, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Alabama Mortgagor”), as mortgagor, the Collateral Agent, as mortgagee, required lender and administrative agent, Fifth Third Bank, as required lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as required lender, and Bank of Utah, as payment agent, modifying the Mortgage, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture

3. Reaffirmation of the Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Subordination Agreement from Cherokee Nitrogen Holdings, Inc., as assignor, and Cherokee Nitrogen Company, as lessee (the “Cherokee Lease Assignment Reaffirmation”); and

4. Reaffirmation of the Assignment of Leases and Rents, Subordination (and Nondisturbance) Agreement from Cherokee Nitrogen Holdings, Inc., as assignor, and Airgas Specialty Products, Inc., as lessee; Reaffirmation of the Assignment of Leases and Rents, Subordination (and Nondisturbance) Agreement from Cherokee Nitrogen Holdings, Inc., as assignor, and Nelson Brothers, LLC, as lessee; Reaffirmation of the Assignment of Leases and Rents, Subordination (and Nondisturbance) Agreement from Cherokee Nitrogen Holdings, Inc., as assignor, and Isbell Farms, as lessee (collectively, the “Third Party Lease Assignment Reaffirmations”, and together with the Cherokee Lease Assignment Reaffirmation, the “Lease Assignment Reaffirmations”; the Lease Assignment Reaffirmations and the Alabama Mortgage Amendment sometimes referred to herein as the “2011 Alabama Security Documents” and the original assignment documents reaffirmed by the Lease Assignment Reaffirmations sometimes referred to herein as the “Lease Assignments” and, together with the Original Mortgage, the “Original Alabama Security Documents”).

In addition, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other documents and records and have made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate in order to enable us to render the opinions set forth herein. In conducting such investigation, we have relied, without independent verification, upon certificates of officers of the Lender Parties, public officials and other appropriate persons, and on the representations and warranties as to matters of fact and on the covenants as to the application of proceeds contained in the Loan Documents.

We have not made or undertaken to make any investigation as to factual matters or as to the accuracy or completeness of any representation, warranty, data or any other information, whether written or oral, that may have been made by or on behalf of the parties to the Documents or otherwise (but have no actual knowledge of the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any of the same), and we assume, in giving this opinion, that none of such information, if any, contains any untrue statement of a material fact.

On the basis of the assumptions and subject to the qualifications, exceptions and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. You have asked our advice regarding whether any Lender is required to qualify to do business as a foreign entity in the State solely by virtue of its execution, delivery and

performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the making of the Loan and the recording by an independent third party of the 2011 Alabama Security Documents in the Probate Office of Colbert County, Alabama (collectively, the “Limited Alabama Contacts”). As used in this letter, being a Lender in connection with the Loan means only the following activities (or any one or more of them) conducted from or in such party’s offices and outside of the State: (a) collection of payments made under the Loan Documents, (b) administration of and disbursements of funds and payments under the Loan Documents, (c) providing and receiving written notices and other communications using the United States mail or other instrumentalities of interstate commerce, (d) collecting and distributing operating and financial information related to the Loan Documents, (e) monitoring of compliance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and (f) being a mortgagee and secured party under the Original Alabama Security Documents and the 2011 Alabama Security Documents.

Article XII, Section 232, of the Alabama Constitution of 1901 (“Section 232”) provides that no foreign corporation shall do any business in the State without having at least one known place of business and an authorized agent or agents therein, and without filing with the Secretary of State of the State a certified copy of its articles of incorporation or association. Under Section 232, limited liability companies most likely would be regarded as corporations.

At least two early Alabama cases indicate that the predecessor to Section 232 independently disallowed a foreign corporation doing business in the State the power to enforce its contracts in the State if it was not qualified in the State at the time the relevant contracts were executed. See, Farrior v. New England Mortgage Security Co., 7 So. 200 (Ala. 1889); Dudley v. Collier, 6 So. 304 (Ala. 1888). Alabama Corporate Code Section 10-2B-15.02 provides: “All contracts or agreements made or entered into in this state by foreign corporations prior to obtaining a certificate of authority to transact business in this state shall be held void at the action of the foreign corporation or any person claiming through or under the foreign corporation by virtue of the contract or agreement.” If a Lender were deemed to be “doing business” in the State but had not qualified to do business in the State prior to the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, such party or parties holding interests under it may not be able to enforce the Loan Documents in the State.

In Vines v. Romar Beach, Inc., 670 So. 2d 901 (Ala. 1995), the Alabama Supreme Court reiterated that “nonqualified foreign corporations are ‘prohibited from doing a single act of business in this state, if done in the exercise of its corporate function’ - - meaning, of course, the exercise of the function or business it was organized to do, and not a purely incidental and preparatory act.” Id. The Vines court concluded that a corporation that is doing business in the State who fails to qualify in the State on or before the date its contracts are executed may be precluded from enforcing such contracts in the State.

Because the activities that constitute “doing business” are not specifically defined by the constitution, statutes or cases of the State, a court’s “doing business” analysis depends upon the facts of each case and the outcome of any particular case is difficult to predict. With your

permission, in addition to the other assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth elsewhere in this letter, we have assumed the following in rendering the opinion expressed herein: (1) the Lenders have ongoing business activities unrelated to the Loan; (2) the Lenders do not have any offices, agents, employees, properties or assets in the State, have not conducted any solicitation or inducement in the State with respect to the transaction and have not, are not and will not be exercising their primary corporate function within the State; (3) none of the Loan Documents have been executed or delivered to the Lenders in the State; (4) the negotiations resulting in the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents occurred outside the State or using means or instrumentalities of interstate commerce, and such negotiations were concluded outside the State; (5) the Loan Documents are to be performed and administered by the Lenders outside of the State; (6) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are to be performed and administered by the Lenders outside the State; (7) the Lenders are not and will not be acting as fiduciary in the State under or in connection with the Loan Documents; (8) loan funds were not and are not to be disbursed in the State; (9) payments under the Loan Documents are to be received and credited outside of the State; (10) none of any Lender’s activities in connection with the Loan Documents will occur in the State; and (11) that the Lenders have and have had no other contacts with and engaged in no other activities in the State. We understand that the Agents, who may conduct activities in the State from time to time, are qualified to do business in the State and their activities as Agents would not be considered doing business by the actual Lenders. Thus, based upon the foregoing assumptions and although contrary arguments exist, it is our judgment that the Lenders should not be required to qualify to do business in the State solely by virtue of the Limited Alabama Contacts. However, if the Lenders intend to engage in other activities in the State, including, without limitation, activities constituting performance or enforcement of the Loan Documents in the State or relating to the operation, management, sale or other disposition of any of the collateral or property covered by the Loan Documents as a result of foreclosure, the exercise of any pre-foreclosure remedy or otherwise, the Lenders should obtain further advice regarding requirements for qualification to do business as a foreign entity in the State.

Further, you have asked our advice as to whether one Lender’s engaging in other activities in the State in addition to the Limited Alabama Contacts which would require that Lender to qualify to do business in the State, without first qualifying to do business as a foreign entity in the State, would preclude the Collateral Agent from enforcing the Loan Documents and foreclosing the Original Mortgage as amended by the Alabama Mortgage Amendment for and to the extent of the other Lenders’ interests. Based upon the foregoing, subject to the facts, assumptions and qualifications stated herein, and recognizing that we have found no reported State decision on this question, we believe that in a properly presented and argued case a court should conclude that one Lender’s transacting business in the State without first qualifying where required to do so will not preclude enforcement of the Loan Documents by the Collateral Agent for the other Lenders, to the extent of such other Lenders’ interests, under State law.

2. To the extent that the law of the State is applicable, the 2011 Alabama Security Documents constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the applicable parties thereto (other than the Lender Parties), enforceable by the Collateral Agent against such parties in accordance with their terms. This opinion Paragraph 2 as to enforceability of the 2011 Alabama Security Documents is also subject to the qualification that certain provisions contained in the 2011 Alabama Security Documents may not be enforceable, but such unenforceability will not render the 2011 Alabama Security Documents invalid as a whole or preclude (x) judicial enforcement of repayment, (y) acceleration of the Loan, or (z) foreclosure, in accordance with the procedures prescribed by applicable law, of the applicable Lender Parties’ rights, title and interests in and to the real property and fixture collateral, in the event of a material breach of a payment obligation or other material provisions of the Loan Documents. The opinions expressed in this opinion Paragraph are governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, the ACREL Statement of Policy on Mortgage Loan Enforceability Opinions (12/91).

3. (a) The Alabama Mortgage Amendment (including the acknowledgments attached thereto) is in sufficient form for recording in the State pursuant to all generally applicable laws thereof, including all generally applicable recording, filing and registration statutes and regulations, and except as set forth hereinafter, no other or further or subsequent filing, re-filing, recording, or re-recording in the State of the Alabama Mortgage Documents or any other instrument will be necessary to continue the perfection of the liens, mortgages and security interests created thereby. We call to your attention that Section 35-10-20 of the Code of Alabama provides that as to third parties without actual notice or knowledge to the contrary, the indebtedness secured by a mortgage covering real estate twenty years past due according to the original maturity date or some new date fixed by a duly recorded extension agreement, or, if the maturity date cannot be determined therefrom, then from the date of the mortgage, shall be conclusively presumed to have been paid.

(b) The form of the Original Mortgage, as amended by the Alabama Mortgage Amendment, (including but not limited to the description of the land attached hereto as Exhibit A, assuming its correctness and completeness) is sufficient to create (i) a valid mortgage lien on that portion of the mortgaged property thereunder which constitutes real property and (ii) a valid security interest on that portion of the mortgaged property thereunder which constitutes timber to be cut, as-extracted collateral, or fixtures located or to be located on such real property (all such real property, fixture and personal property collateral for the Original Mortgage referred to herein collectively as the "Collateral"), in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) above as security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Alabama Mortgage Documents).

(c) Upon the due recording and proper indexing of the Alabama Mortgage Amendment in the land records (the "Land Records") of the Office of the Judge of Probate of Colbert County, Alabama (the “Recording Office”), the Alabama Mortgage Documents will provide constructive notice of the mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent, as security for the Secured Obligations, in that portion of the mortgaged property referred to therein which

Bank of America Leasong & Capital, LLC

of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement

constitutes real property located in the State and the Collateral Agent will have a valid and perfected security interest in the fixtures described therein.

4. The State has no existing statute of general application which denies to a real estate mortgagee any otherwise existing right to seek a judgment against the mortgagor for any remaining legally enforceable indebtedness owed by the mortgagor to the real estate mortgagee, after application to the outstanding indebtedness of the proceeds of, or credit resulting from, any foreclosure of the mortgage and sale of the mortgaged property conducted in accordance with applicable law. In addition, in the absence of special circumstances and any agreement to the contrary, a mortgagee may sue for collection of the secured indebtedness and foreclose the mortgage in whatever order the mortgagee chooses. Further, Section 7-9A-604(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State (the “Alabama UCC”) provides that where a security agreement covers both real and personal property, the secured party may proceed as to both the real and the personal property in accordance with the secured party's rights and remedies in respect of the real property. Section 7-9A-604 does not address, and we express no opinion with respect to, whether a secured party may proceed against real estate and later proceed in a separate action against personal property.

5. The UCC Financing Statements filed with the Recording Office and the Secretary of State of Oklahoma in connection with the Original Mortgage (the “Financing Statements”) are in sufficient form to perfect, in favor of the Collateral Agent, a lien or liens upon the collateral described in each of the Financing Statements to the extent such lien or liens can be perfected by filing in the States of Alabama and Oklahoma in such offices, as applicable; and except as provided for in the final sentence of this paragraph 5, no additional UCC Financing Statements or amendments to the existing Financing Statements are required to be filed to maintain these liens as a result of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and the Mortgage Amendment. We call to your attention the fact that UCC Continuation Statements complying with the Alabama UCC and the Uniform Commercial Code of Oklahoma as now in effect, as applicable, must be filed within the six (6) month period prior to the expiration of the five (5) year period dating from the date of the original filing of the UCC Financing Statements filed in connection with the Original Mortgage (the “Financing Statements”) and within the six (6) month period prior to the expiration of each subsequent five (5) year period after the date of the original filing of such Financing Statements, the execution and delivery of the Alabama Mortgage Amendment does .

6. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, nor the fulfillment of or the compliance with the provisions thereof, by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the Lenders, will result in a violation of, or contravenes any law of the State known to us to be presently effective having applicability.

7. Except for the October 31, 2007, Mortgage Tax Order and the March 16, 2011 Mortgage Tax Order, which have been obtained from the Alabama Department of Revenue, and the recordation or filing of the Alabama Mortgage Documents in the Recording Office, no approval or other authorization of, or registration with, any court or governmental agency,

commission or other authority of the State or any subdivision thereof is required for the due execution, delivery, filing, recordation and enforcement in the State of the Alabama Mortgage Documents.

8. Assuming the Lease Assignment Reaffirmations are filed or recorded (as applicable) as additional security for the indebtedness secured thereby, the only taxes and governmental fees and charges payable in the State in connection with the execution, delivery and recording of the Alabama Mortgage Amendment and Lease Assignment Reaffirmations in the State are nominal filing or recording fees payable at the time of filing or recording of the Alabama Mortgage Amendment and the Lease Assignment Reaffirmations, and the mortgage recording privilege tax for the Alabama Mortgage Amendment. Section 40-22-2 of the Code of Alabama imposes a privilege tax in an amount equal to $0.15 per $100 (or fraction thereof) of the indebtedness secured by mortgages and other financing instruments which are recorded in Land Records of the Recording Office. In order to avoid duplication of recording taxes, the Lease Assignment Reaffirmations should: (i) contain a statement substantially as follows: “This instrument is filed as additional security for a mortgage amendment recorded [simultaneously herewith/previously at Instrument #________] upon which the mortgage recording tax has been paid”; and (ii) be filed in the Recording Office at the same time as the Alabama Mortgage Amendment is filed in such office. No taxes are, under the generally applicable law of the State, required to be withheld or otherwise deducted from any amounts payable to the Lender Parties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in this opinion Paragraph 8, we express no opinion as to whether any taxes may or may not be due as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

9. If the internal laws of the State were applicable thereto, the rates of interest under the Loan Documents would be governed by Section 8-8-5 of the Code of Alabama, which permits the parties to agree upon the interest rate to be charged (subject to principles of unconscionability and to the extent not deemed a penalty) for loans of $2,000 or more. Other than Section 8-8-5, no statute of the State establishes any usury limits applicable to the Loan Documents. The rates of interest to be charged and paid by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents are not usurious under State law.

10. Although State and federal courts exercise broad discretion in conflicts of law matters, if properly presented with the issue, a State court or a federal court in the State applying Alabama choice of law rules should enforce provisions of the Loan Documents designating New York law as the applicable or governing law for such documents except (i) to the extent the application of New York law would (a) contravene the public policy of the State; provided, subject to all assumptions, qualifications and exceptions set forth in this opinion, we know of no such public policy of the State which would be so contravened or (b) be inconsistent with Section 1-301(c) of the Alabama UCC, and (ii) we express no opinion with respect to which jurisdiction’s laws would govern (a) procedural matters, (b) the maximum amount of interest which may be charged or collected under the Loan Documents, (c) except as set forth in opinion paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the creation, perfection (and the effect of non-perfection) or priority of

any mortgages, liens, pledges, assignments and security interests in property or interests in property, (d) except as set forth in opinion paragraphs 2 and 3 above, any foreclosure, sale, appointment of a receiver or other exercise of remedies, or (e) matters relating to the corporate governance of corporations, trusts, limited liability companies, partnerships or similar entities.

11. The State has no generally applicable law requiring any certification or notification to State or local governmental authorities as a result of a sale, conveyance, lease, mortgage of or foreclosure of a mortgage on real property located in the State. We call to your attention that the Collateral Agent will want to record the Alabama Mortgage Amendment in the Office of the Judge of Probate of the county in the State where the real property covered by the Alabama Mortgage is located.

The foregoing opinions are qualified with and subject to the following exceptions:

(i) We express no opinion regarding any provision of any of the Loan Documents which purports (a) to permit any party to sell or otherwise dispose of any collateral subject thereto, or enforce any other remedy thereunder except in compliance with applicable law, or (b) to vary or change by agreement any provision of applicable law which may not, by the terms of applicable law, be varied or changed by agreement.

(ii) We express no opinion with respect to the title or other rights of the Loan Parties or any other person to any collateral or property covered by any of the Loan Documents.

Without limiting the foregoing, we express no opinion regarding any security interests arising or deemed to arise under any subordination or similar agreements or the consequences of failing to perfect any such security interests. We express no opinion regarding the priority of any security interest, mortgage, lien, assignment or pledge or regarding continuation of perfection or any manner in which a security interest, mortgage, lien, assignment or pledge or the perfection thereof may be lost, terminated or otherwise affected or the exercise of any rights or remedies which require the approval of or notification to any Governmental Authority. No opinion is expressed herein regarding any matter relating or pertaining to any security interest or the perfection of any security interest, any conflicting security interest (or the proper place to search for the same), assignment, mortgage, license, lien and/or pledge of, in or with respect to:

(a) any accounts or receivables that are or will be due from the United States, from any state of the United States, from any agency or department of the United States or of any state or from any other government or agency or department thereof;

(h) any property or interest in property acquired or arising after the commencement of a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

(iii) Except as set forth in opinion paragraph 3 above with respect to real property, we express no opinion regarding which jurisdiction’s laws govern the creation, perfection (and effect of perfection or non-perfection) or priority of any mortgages, liens, pledges, assignments and security interests under the Loan Documents or govern any foreclosure, sale, appointment of receiver or other exercise of remedies with respect to any other collateral.

(iv) We express no opinion regarding the perfection of any security interest, mortgage, assignment, lien, pledge or other rights in or with respect to (a) any automobiles, trucks or other motor vehicles or any mobile homes, manufactured homes or trailers, or (b) any other property subject to a certificate of title or other similar registration, recordation, filing or certification (other than filing a financing statement under the Alabama UCC or Section 9-501 of the Uniform Commercial Code as currently in effect in Oklahoma).

to laws that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by this opinion letter). We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction, including the laws of the United States, except as provided above. We express no opinion as to the laws of any county, municipality or other political subdivision of the State or any other state.

The foregoing opinions are rendered on the basis of and qualified by the following assumptions:

(i) We have assumed, without investigation: (a) the genuineness of all documents, instruments and certificates and the signatures thereon not signed in our presence; (b) that where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed in the form of that draft, and where a number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention; (c) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (d) that the representations and warranties of all parties contained in the Loan Documents and all certificates of governmental officials and officers of the Loan Parties are true and correct as to factual matters on the date hereof; (e) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by the parties thereto and beneficiaries thereof; (f) with respect to each of the Loan Documents that designates New York law as the governing law, each of such documents constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligation of the parties thereto enforceable against each such party in accordance with the terms thereof under the laws of such jurisdiction; (g) that the choice of law in the Loan Documents is not for the purpose of evading the usury or similar laws of any jurisdiction; and (h) that, with respect to the Loan Documents and all other documents examined by us in connection with this opinion, all parties have requisite power and authority to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder. To the extent that this opinion relates to or depends upon the legal, valid and binding character of any document as to any party which executed such document, or to the enforceability of any such document by or against any party which executed such document, we have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of such document by such party, the legality, validity and binding nature of the document as to such party, the enforceability of such document against such party and that no party to the Loan Documents has taken, will take or has failed or will fail to take any action which could create a defense to the enforcement of the Loan Documents by or against such parties or beneficiaries.

Re:

Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the “A & R Loan Agreement ”), dated as of March 29, 2011, by and among the Borrowers, Parent, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the various financial institutions and other institutional investors which are parties thereto from time to time, as Lenders.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to the Agents and the Lenders in the State of Arkansas (the “State”) in conjunction with the loan transaction that is the subject of the A & R Loan Agreement .

In connection with this opinion, we have examined execution copies of the following loan documents and instruments (collectively, the “Documents”):

1. A & R Loan Agreement ;

2. Amendment Number One to Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement, and Fixture Filing Statement (the “Arkansas Mortgage Amendment”) made by Northwest Financial Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation, one of the listed Borrowers in the A & R Loan Agreement (“Mortgagor”) in favor of Collateral Agent, with respect to certain real property and improvements located in Union County, Arkansas, and being more particularly defined therein (the “Mortgaged Property”);

This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ix) of the A & R Loan Agreement . Unless the context shall otherwise require, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Article I of the A & R Loan Agreement .

Bank of America Leasing & Capital, LLC

Page 2

In reaching the opinions set forth below, we have assumed, and to our knowledge there are no facts inconsistent with, the following:

(a) Each of the parties to the Documents has duly and validly executed and delivered each instrument, document, and agreement to be executed in connection with the credit facility that is the subject of the A & R Loan Agreement (the “Loan”) to which such party is a signatory, and, except as to matters of State law regarding which we opine as set forth below, such party’s obligations set forth in the Documents are its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

(b)Each person executing any of the Documents, whether individually or on behalf of an entity, is duly authorized to do so.

(c)Each natural person executing any of the Documents is legally competent to do so.

(d)All signatures on the Documents are genuine.

(e)All Documents submitted to us as originals are authentic; all Documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies conform to the original document, and all public records reviewed are accurate and complete.

(f)The Documents executed by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lenders, Borrowers, and the other parties thereto, as applicable, are identical to the unexecuted copies of such documents provided to us for review.

(g)The Mortgagor under the Arkansas Mortgage Amendment has good, fee simple title to the Mortgaged Property set forth therein.

(h) All recording fees required to be paid in connection with the recording of the Arkansas Mortgage Amendment have been or will be paid.

(i)The Lenders have given value in connection with the Documents, and there is actual consideration given and received for the making of the Arkansas Mortgage Amendment by the Mortgagor identified therein.

The opinions below are limited to the laws, rules and regulations of the State and of the United States.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. Neither the Lenders nor the Agents are required under the laws of the State to qualify as a foreign corporation or otherwise qualify in the State or to file a designation for

Bank of America Leasing & Capital, LLC

March 29, 2011

Page 3

service of process or similar type of filing in the State solely as a result of their execution and delivery and performance of the Documents to which they are a party.

2. The Arkansas Mortgage Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto enforceable against each such parties in accordance with the terms thereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

3. The Arkansas Mortgage Amendment is in proper from for recording in the Office of the Circuit Clerk and Ex-Officio Recorder of Union County, Arkansas (the “Recording Office”).

4. The Arkansas Mortgage Amendment is in form sufficient under the laws of the State to amend that certain Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement and Fixture Filing Statement given by Mortgagor, recorded in the Recording Office on November 6, 2007 at Mortgage Book 2007, Page 20594 (the “Arkansas Mortgage”). The Arkansas Mortgage continues to provide valid liens or security interests for the indebtedness described therein in favor of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral described therein which constitutes real property or fixtures thereto, provided, however, certain additional monies advanced to Mortgagor at the time of the A & R Loan Agreement which are deemed by State law to be optional future advances may not share the same lien priority as the Arkansas Mortgage. When the Arkansas Mortgage Amendment is recorded with the Recording Office, it will have been filed or recorded in all public offices in the State in which such filing or recording is necessary for such amendments. The Arkansas Mortgage continues to provide the Collateral Agent with all mortgage remedies customarily obtained by mortgage lenders in the State in connection with the type of loan and security provided for by the Arkansas Mortgage. The foreclosure of the Arkansas Mortgage would not restrict, affect or impair the liability of any of the Loan Parties with respect to the obligations secured thereby or by the other Documents or the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to the foreclosure or enforcement of any other security interests or liens securing such obligations to the extent any deficiency remains unpaid after application of the proceeds of the foreclosure.

5. The Laws of the State do not require a lienholder to make an election of remedies where such lienholder holds security interests and liens on both the real and the personal property of a debtor or to take recourse first or solely against or otherwise exhaust its remedies against its collateral before otherwise proceeding to enforce against such debtor the obligations of such debtor.

6. Provided the A & R Loan Agreement does not require any new or additional collateral to be granted by Mortgagor other than the collateral described in that certain UCC-1 Financing Statement given by Mortgagor, as a Debtor, filed in the Recording Office on November 6, 2007 at Deed Book 2007, Page 13707 (the “Financing Statement”), nor does the A & R Loan Agreement require a new or additional Secured Party or Debtor, as such terms are utilized in the Financing Statement, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State from time to time (the “Commercial Code”) does not require an amendment of the Financing

Bank of America Leasing & Capital, LLC

March 29, 2011

Page 4

Statement to be filed in the Recorder’s Office pursuant to the amendments made by the A & R Loan Agreement and Arkansas Mortgage Amendment, provided, however, continuation statements with respect to said Financing Statement must be filed under the Commercial Code in the office where such Financing Statement was filed within six months prior to the expiration of five years from the date of such filing (or otherwise within the time permitted by A.C.A. § 4-9-515 of the Commercial Code), and subsequent continuation statements must be filed within six months prior to the end of each subsequent five-year period.

7. Neither the execution and delivery of the Documents, nor the fulfillment of or the compliance with the provisions thereof, by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the Lenders, will result in a violation of, or contravenes any Laws of the State. Other than as specifically set forth herein in Paragraph 10 hereinbelow, we do not opine on the application of the usury laws of the State to the transaction that is the subject of the A & R Loan Agreement.

8. Except for the filings and recordings described above, no approval, consent, or withholding of objection on the part of, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority is required to be made or taken in the State to establish, protect and preserve title to, interests in, liens on and security interests in the Collateral constituting real property, fixtures, timber to be cut, or as-extracted collateral, as contemplated by the Documents, except for UCC financing statement continuation statements.

9. Except for nominal filing or recording fees payable at the time of filing or recording of the Arkansas Mortgage Amendment, no taxes, fees or other charges imposed by the State, Union County, Arkansas, or any other local governmental entity are payable by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Lenders solely as a result of the execution, delivery, performance, recordation or filing (where applicable) of the Arkansas Mortgage Amendment delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby.

10. Assuming that the overall rate of interest, as such term is defined pursuant to State law, that is applicable to any new and additional monies that are advanced or made available to Borrowers as of March 29, 2011 under the Loan pursuant to the A & R Loan Agreement does not exceed 5.75%, per annum, said rate of interest applicable to such additional and new monies under the Loan pursuant to the A & R Loan Agreement is not usurious under State law.

11. Based solely on our reliance on previous telephone conversations with representatives of the Office of the Mayor of the City of El Dorado, Arkansas and the Office of the County Judge of Union County, Arkansas on or about October 2007, and that certain written zoning letter from the County Judge of Union County, Arkansas dated as of October 30, 2007, without an updated or further review or inspection, we believe that (i) the Mortgaged Property lies outside of the city limits of the City of El Dorado, Arkansas and outside of the zoning jurisdiction of the City of El Dorado, Arkansas, and (2) there are no Union County, Arkansas zoning laws applicable to the Mortgaged Property.

12. The State has adopted the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act, found at A.C.A. Section 16-66-601, et seq. (the "UEFJA"). Assuming compliance with the UEFJA, a judgment rendered by a New York court with proper jurisdiction over the subject matter thereof, with respect to the Loan, will be treated in the State in the same manner as a judgment rendered by a court in the State.

In addition to the assumptions set forth above, the opinions set forth above are also subject to the following qualifications:

(a) We are licensed to practice law only in the State and do not hold ourselves out to be experts on the laws of any state other than the State. Our opinions are limited to the laws of the State.

(b) The foregoing opinion as to enforceability does not pass upon any questions of enforceability that may arise under securities or antitrust laws of the State, any other states, or the United States of America.

(c) We express no opinion with respect to title to any of the Mortgaged Property, but we assume with your consent that the Mortgagor in the Mortgage is the owner of such Mortgaged Property. We express no opinion as to the accuracy of any descriptions of the Mortgaged Property contained in the Arkansas Mortgage Amendment or any of the Documents.

(d) We express no opinion with respect to the relative priority of the liens or security interests created by any of the Documents. We understand that, with respect to the real property, you are relying upon a mortgagee's title insurance policy insuring your lien on such property, and, with respect to the personal property, you are relying on UCC searches provided by the applicable filing offices.

(e) In the event of conflicts among the Documents, we express no opinion as to which provision shall prevail.

(f) We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of any provisions in any of the Documents to the extent that such provisions purport to waive any requirement of diligent performance or other care on the part of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders with respect to the recognition or preservation of the rights of the Borrowers to or interest in any property subject to the lien or security interest granted by the Documents.

(g) We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of (a) any remedies which any of the Documents purport to grant the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders with respect to the seizure or disposition of the personal property to the extent that such remedies are not specifically provided to a secured party under the applicable

Bank of America Leasing & Capital, LLC

March 29, 2011

Page 6

State Uniform Commercial Code, or (b) remedies (excluding the power of sale provisions set forth in the Security Instrument) which any of the Documents purport to grant to the Lenders with respect to the seizure or disposition of the real property to the extent that such remedies are not specifically provided for by the laws of the State.

(h) We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of any provision of the

Documents which permits the Lenders, in the event of acceleration upon delinquency or default, to increase the rate of interest or to collect a late charge or prepayment penalty or premium.

(i) We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of any powers of attorney granted or assigned in the Documents to the extent that the grant or assignment of such powers of attorney does not comply with the requirements of A.C.A. Sections 18-12-501 and 21-6-306, and other applicable laws of the State.

(j) We note that in order for the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders to obtain the appointment of a receiver, they must comply with the requirements of A.C.A. Section 16-117-208, and Arkansas Rule of Civil Procedure 66, and other applicable laws of the State.

(k) We express no opinion as to the effect of future course of dealings, course of performance or the like, in modifying the terms of any of the Documents or the respective obligations of the Borrowers, any guarantors and the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders under the Documents, and we note that the validity or enforceability of provisions permitting modifications of an agreement only in writing may be limited by the parties' future course of dealings, course of performance and the like.

(l) We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of waivers or advance consents that have the effect of waiving marshaling of assets or similar requirements or defenses, or in certain cases notices.

(m) We express no opinion as to the obligation of any guarantors to pay the outstanding principal balance of the obligations comprising the Loan and observe the covenants under the Documents in the event that the time for payment for said obligations is extended, a party is released from liability, a Document is renewed, the terms of payment under the Documents are modified, any security under the Documents is released or the terms of the Documents and security therefor are made subject to a subordination agreement without the prior consent of any guarantors to such modifications, amendments, releases or subordinations.

(n) We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of the severability provisions contained in the Documents to the extent that any provision affected by the

Bank of America Leasing & Capital, LLC

March 29, 2011

Page 7

severability provision is material to the essence of the agreements set forth in the Documents.

(o) We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of any provisions in the Documents concerning environmental indemnification to the extent that the same are unenforceable under Federal or state environmental laws, ordinances or regulations.

(p) We express no opinion with respect to the validity or enforceability of provisions in the Documents which provide that a Lender is not liable for its acts or omission or for any acts or omissions of its servants, employees or attorneys, including but not limited to negligence.

The opinions set forth herein are expressed as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligations to update or supplement these opinions to reflect any facts that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur. The opinions set forth herein are limited to matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion is to be inferred or implied beyond the matters expressly so stated.

Except as set forth in the following sentence, this opinion is being furnished solely for the benefit of you and your successors and assigns, and your and their respective counsel, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and their respective successors and assigns and each Lender (whether a party to the A & R Loan Agreement on the date hereof or becoming a party in the future) may rely on this opinion to the same extent as if it were addressed and delivered to such person on the date hereof. No other use of this opinion may be made without our approval, provided however, the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may deliver copies of this opinion as necessary to applicable auditors, regulatory authorities, or pursuant to a court order. Our opinions represent our reason and judgment as to certain matters of law based upon facts presented or presumed and are not and should not be considered or construed as a guaranty. The liability of Friday, Eldredge & Clark, LLP is limited to the fullest extent possible under Act 661 of 1987.

Upon or at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignee may, at its option, without waiving that Event of Default and without regard to the adequacy of Assignee’s security under the Loan Documents, either in person, by agent, or by a receiver appointed by a court, take possession of the Property and hold, manage, lease, and operate the Property on such terms and for such period of time as provided in the Mortgage. Assignee may, with or without taking possession of the Property, in its own name, demand, sue for, or otherwise collect and receive all Rents, including those past due and unpaid. Assignee shall have full power to make all alterations, renovations, repairs, or replacements and to do any and all other things which it may in its sole discretion consider necessary or appropriate to protect the security of this Assignment and under the Mortgage. Assignee may apply the Rents to pay any of the following amounts and in such order as provided in the Mortgage: (a) the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Mortgage); (b) all expenses of the Property, including the salaries, fees, commissions, and wages of a managing agent and such other employees, agents, or independent contractors as Assignee deems necessary or desirable; (c) all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, or any other liens against the Property; (d) all premiums for all insurance Assignee deems necessary or desirable; (e) the cost of all alterations, renovations, repairs, or replacements; and (f) all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property. Neither the demand for nor collection of Rents by Assignee shall constitute any assumption by Assignee of any obligation under the lease. Assignee is obligated to account only for such Rents as are actually collected or received by Assignee. For purposes of this Section, Assignor grants to Assignee an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, and coupled with an interest, to take any and all of the aforementioned actions and any or all other actions designated by Assignee for the proper management and preservation of the Property. Assignee shall, as a matter of absolute right, be entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to the appointment of a receiver to obtain and secure the rights of Assignee hereunder and the benefits intended to be provided to Assignee under this Assignment. The exercise by Assignee of the option granted it in this Section and the collection of the Rents and the application thereof as provided in this Assignment shall not be considered a waiver of any Event of Default by Assignor under the note(s), the Mortgage, this Assignment, or the other Loan Documents. This Assignment shall remain in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure or redemption with respect to the Property.

6. No Liability of Assignee. Assignee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Assignor resulting from Assignee’s failure to lease any part of the Property or from any other act or omission of Assignee in managing the Property after an Event of Default, other than acts or omissions of Assignee constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence of Assignee. Assignee shall not be responsible for performing any of Assignor’s obligations under the Lease by reason of this Assignment. Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Assignee harmless for, from, and against any and all liability, loss, or damage which may be incurred under the Lease or by reason of this Assignment and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever, including the defense of any such claims or demands which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged obligations and undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in the Lease. Should Assignee incur any such liability, Assignor shall reimburse Assignee promptly upon demand. This Assignment shall not operate to place any obligation or liability for the control, care, management, or repair of the Property upon Assignee; nor shall it operate to make Assignee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by any lessee or any other party, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the presence of any Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement), or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair, or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee, employee, or stranger, other than acts or omissions of Assignee constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct of Assignee.

7. Other Security. Assignee may take or release other security for the payment of the Secured Obligations, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor, and may apply any other security held by it to the reduction or satisfaction of the Secured Obligations without prejudice to any of its rights under this Assignment.

8. Other Remedies. Assignor has executed the Mortgage which contains an Assignment of Rents and Leases assigning to Assignee all of Assignor's right, title, and interest, as Assignor, in and to the Lease. All rights and remedies granted to Assignee under the Assignment of Rents and Leases contained in the Mortgage shall be in addition to all rights and remedies granted to Assignee under this Assignment. The right of Assignee to collect the Secured Obligations and to enforce any other security held by Assignee may be exercised by Assignee either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it under this Assignment.

9. No Mortgagee in Possession. Nothing contained in this Assignment shall be construed as constituting Assignee a “mortgagee in possession” for any purpose.

10. Conflict of Terms. In case of any conflict between the terms of this Assignment and the terms of the Mortgage, the terms of the Mortgage shall prevail.

11. Non-Waiver. Each waiver by any Assignee must be in writing, and no waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by Assignee to take action on account of any default of Assignor. Consent by Assignee to any

act or omission by Assignor shall not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for Assignee’s consent to be obtained in any future or other instance. No collection by Assignee of any Rents pursuant to this Assignment shall constitute or result in a waiver of any default then existing under this Assignment or under any of the other Loan Documents.

12. Invalid Provisions. A determination that any provision of this Assignment is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision, and any determination that the application of any provision of this Assignment to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of that provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.

13. Governing Law. This Assignment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state where the Property is located, except to the extent any of such laws may now or hereafter be preempted by federal law.

14. Termination of Assignment. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations and the delivery and recording of a satisfaction, release, reconveyance, or discharge of the Mortgage duly executed by Assignee, this Assignment shall become and be void and of no effect.

15. Successors in Interest; Transfer of Loan. The terms, covenants, and conditions of this Assignment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, and assigns of the parties. Assignee and any successor may, at any time, sell, transfer, or assign the Loan, this Assignment, and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “Securities”). Assignee may forward to each transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, or investor in those Securities or any rating agency (a “Rating Agency”) rating those Securities (all of the foregoing entities collectively referred to as an “Investor”) and each prospective Investor, all documents, financial and other information which Assignee now has or may hereafter acquire relating to (a) the Loan; (b) the Property and its operation (including, without limitation, copies of all leases, subleases, and any other agreements concerning the use and occupancy of the Property); or (c) any party connected with the Loan (including, without limitation, Assignor, any partner or member of Assignor, any constituent partner or member of Assignor, and any guarantor). In connection with such Securities, Assignor further agrees that the Loan Documents shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of Assignor to each Investor. Assignor shall, within fifteen (15) days after request by Assignee, deliver an estoppel certificate verifying for the benefit of Assignee and any other party designated by Assignee the status and the terms and provisions of the Loan in form and substance acceptable to Assignee. The representations, warranties, obligations, covenants, and indemnity obligations of Assignor under the Loan Documents shall also benefit and apply with respect to any Assignee, transferee, assignee, participant, servicer, or investor.

16. Attorneys’ Fees. If any lawsuit, suit, or proceeding is commenced which arises out of or relates to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, this Assignment, the other Loan Documents or the Loan, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from each other party such sums as the court may adjudge to be reasonable attorneys’ fees in the action, in addition to costs and expenses otherwise allowed by law. In all other situations, including any matter arising out of or relating to any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law (as defined in the Mortgage), Assignor agrees to pay all of Assignee’s costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred in enforcing or protecting Assignee’s rights or interests. From the time(s) incurred until paid in full to Assignee, all such sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Whenever Assignor is obligated to pay or reimburse Assignee for any attorneys’ fees, those fees shall include the allocated costs for services of in-house counsel.

17. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. ASSIGNOR HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY ASSIGNOR, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. ASSIGNEE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY ASSIGNOR.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Assignor and Assignee have executed this Assignment as of the day and year first above written.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the execution of this Agreement by the parties, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Collateral Agent and the Lessee hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Collateral Agent” means the present mortgagee and that mortgagee’s successors and assigns.

“Demised Premises” means the portion of the Property now or hereafter demised under the Lease.

“Lessor” means the present lessor under the Lease and that lessor’s predecessors and successors in interest under the Lease.

“Person” means an individual, partnership, corporation, business trust, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated association, joint venture, governmental authority, or other entity of whatever nature.

“Purchaser” means any Person acquiring the Property (i) in any foreclosure or any action or proceeding (judicial or non-judicial) instituted under or in connection with the Mortgage, (ii) by delivery of a deed or assignment given in lieu of foreclosure, or (iii) by order of the United States Bankruptcy Court, and, with respect to (i), (ii), and (iii), that Person’s successors and assigns.

2. Subordination. The Lease and the Lessee’s interest thereunder is now and at all times shall continue to be subject and subordinate in each and every respect (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) to the Mortgage and to the lien of the Mortgage.

3. Non-disturbance. So long as the Lease is in full force and effect and there exists no default under the Lease that (i) continues beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and grace period and (ii) would permit the Lessor to terminate the Lease, (a) neither the Collateral Agent nor the Purchaser shall terminate the Lease, nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Purchaser disturb or affect the Lessee’s leasehold estate, use and possession of the Demised Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease, or any rights of the Lessee under the Lease by reason of the subordination of the Lease to the Mortgage or in any foreclosure action or any other action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise) instituted under or in connection with the Mortgage, unless that right would have independently existed pursuant to the Lease, and (b) the Lessee shall not be named or joined in any foreclosure action or other proceeding to enforce the Mortgage, unless that joinder shall be required by law.

4. Attornment and Recognition.

(a) If the interests of the Lessor under the Lease shall be transferred to the Purchaser, (x) the Lessee shall be bound to the Purchaser under all of the then executory terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof remaining and any

extensions or renewals thereof that may be effected by the Lessee in accordance with any option therefor in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if the Purchaser were the lessor under the Lease, (y) the Purchaser shall recognize the rights of the Lessee under the Lease, and (z) the Lease shall continue in full force as a direct lease between the Lessee and the Purchaser, and the respective executory rights and obligations of the Lessee and the Purchaser, to the extent of the then remaining balance of the term of the Lease and any such extensions and renewals, shall be and are the same as set forth therein; provided that the Purchaser shall not be:

(i) liable for any act or omission of or default by the Lessor or any prior lessor under the Lease;

(ii) subject to any credits, claims, setoffs, or defenses that the Lessee might have against the Lessor or any prior lessor as a result of any acts or omissions of the Lessor or any prior lessor;

(iii) bound by any fixed rent, basic rent, additional rent, or other amounts that the Lessee may have paid to the Lessor more than thirty days in advance of the month to which those payments relate, and all such prepaid rent and additional rent shall remain due and owing without regard to that prepayment;

(iv) except with respect to a termination permitted in the Lease upon the occurrence of a casualty or condemnation or the failure to deliver the Demised Premises to the Lessee, bound by any material amendment, modification, or cancellation of the Lease or surrender of the Demised Premises made without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed (to the extent such consent by Assignee is required under the loan documents between Lessee and Collateral Agent; provided however that the consent of Collateral Agent is not required for (i) an assignment or subletting entered into pursuant to such provision of the Lease as shall provide that Lessee may effect such assignment or subletting without the consent of Lessor or (ii) an extension of the term of such Lease);

(v) responsible for the making of repairs in or to the Property in the case of damage or destruction of the Property or any part thereof owing to fire or other casualty or by reason of a condemnation, unless the Purchaser (as the Lessor under the Lease) shall be obligated under the Lease to make those repairs and shall have received insurance proceeds or condemnation awards sufficient to finance the completion of those repairs;

(vi) obligated to make any payment to the Lessee required to be made by the Lessor prior to the date on which the interests of the Lessor under the Lease are transferred to the Purchaser, except for (x) the timely return of any security deposit actually received by the Purchaser and (y) the credit or refund to the Lessee as provided in the Lease of any prepayment of rent or other charges paid by the Lessee if that prepayment is actually received by the Purchaser;

(vii) liable under any indemnity provision of whatever nature contained in the Lease, including, but not limited to, any environmental indemnification, unless due to the acts or omissions of Purchaser or its assignee; or

(viii) liable for any obligation of the lessor under the Lease accruing after an assignment by the Purchaser of its interest under the Lease, provided that obligation has been assumed by the Purchaser’s assignee;

(b) The Lessee hereby agrees to attorn to the Purchaser, including the Collateral Agent if it be the Purchaser, as its lessor, said attornment to be effective and self-operative upon the Purchaser’s succeeding to the interest of the Lessor under the Lease without the execution of any further instruments. The Lessee agrees, however, to execute and deliver at any time, and from time to time, upon the request of the Purchaser or any other holder(s) of any indebtedness or other obligations secured by the Mortgage, any instrument or certificate that, in its sole judgment, the Lessor, the Purchaser, or such other holder(s), as the case may be, deems reasonably necessary or appropriate in any such foreclosure proceeding or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise to evidence that attornment, and that is in a form reasonably acceptable to the Lessee. Upon that attornment, the Lease shall continue in full force as a direct lease between the Lessee and the Purchaser; and the respective rights and obligations of the Lessee and the Purchaser upon that attornment, to the extent of the then remaining balance of the term of the Lease and any such extensions and renewals, shall be and are the same as now set forth in the Lease, as modified by this Agreement.

(c) If the Purchaser shall succeed to the interests of the Lessor under the Lease by reason of a foreclosure or otherwise:

(i) The liability of the Purchaser under the Lease for damages or otherwise shall be limited to the Purchaser’s interest in the Property including rents therefrom. Neither the Purchaser nor any of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, principals, agents, or servants of the Purchaser shall have any liability (personal or otherwise) hereunder beyond the Purchaser’s interest in the Property.

(ii) No other property or assets of the Purchaser or any property of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, principals, agents, or servants of the Purchaser shall be subject to levy, execution, or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of the Lessee’s remedies hereunder or under the Lease.

5. Covenants of the Lessee.

(a) The Lessee agrees for the benefit of the Collateral Agent that, so long as the Mortgage remains a lien upon the Property, the Lessee will not:

(i) pay any rent more than thirty days in advance of accrual;

(ii) surrender the Lessee’s estate under the Lease, unless permitted pursuant to the terms of the Lease;

(iii) consent to any material modification or amendment to the terms of the Lease without consent of the Collateral Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed (to the extent such consent by Assignee is required under the loan documents between Lessee and Collateral Agent; provided however that the consent of Collateral Agent is not required for (i) an assignment or subletting entered into pursuant to such

provision of the Lease as shall provide that Lessee may effect such assignment or subletting without the consent of Lessor or (ii) an extension of the term of such Lease); or

(iv) consent to termination of the Lease by the Lessor thereunder, except termination in accordance with Lease terms.

(b) If any act or omission of the Lessor would give the Lessee the right, immediately or after notice or lapse of a period or both, to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction or constructive eviction, the Lessee shall not exercise that right and no notice of cancellation, termination, or abatement of rents, additional rents, or other sums shall be effective, unless and until:

(i) the Lessee has given written notice of such act or omission to the Lessor and the Collateral Agent at the last known addresses provided to the Lessee;

(ii) neither the Lessor nor the Collateral Agent shall have cured the same within the time limits set forth in the Lease; and

(iii) the Collateral Agent shall have failed to remedy such act or omission:

(A) in the case of any act or omission which is capable of being remedied without possession of the Property, within the period of time equal to the cure period available to the Lessor under the Lease plus sixty days and commencing on the date that notice was sent from the Lessee of that default, and

(B) in the case of any act or omission that is not capable of being remedied without possession of the Property, within a period following the date on which that possession is obtained by the Collateral Agent or the Purchaser, that period being the greater of (x) sixty days and (y) the cure period available to the Lessor under the Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if that default is not capable of cure within the relevant sixty-day period, then, provided that the Collateral Agent or the Purchaser, as the case may be, has commenced that cure within the relevant sixty-day period then that period shall be extended so long as the Collateral Agent or the Purchaser, as the case may be, is thereafter diligently pursuing any action necessary to cure that default or remedy that circumstance.

(c) The Lessee shall notify the Collateral Agent at the last known address provided to the Lessee of any default by the Lessor under the Lease or any circumstance that would entitle the Lessee to cancel or terminate the Lease or abate the rents, additional rents, or other sums payable thereunder at the same time as such a notification is delivered to the Lessor.

6. Payment to the Collateral Agent. After notice is given to the Lessee by the Collateral Agent that, pursuant to the Mortgage and loan documents, an uncured Event of Default has occurred and that as a result, the rentals under the Lease should be paid to the Collateral Agent, the Lessee shall pay to the Collateral Agent, or in accordance with the directions of the Collateral Agent, all rentals and other monies then due and to become due to the

Lessor under the Lease, and the Lessor hereby expressly authorizes the Lessee to make those payments to the Collateral Agent, and hereby fully releases and discharges the Lessee of and from any liability to the Lessor on account of any such payments. The Lessee shall make such rental payments to Collateral Agent until such time as Lessee is provided notice by Collateral Agent that the Event of Default has been cured or Lessor’s monetary obligations to Collateral Agent under the loan documents, as referenced in the Mortgage, has been fully paid.

7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Lessee, the Lessor, the Collateral Agent, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns.

8. Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, enforcement, and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Alabama.
