This SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of October 29, 2010, is entered into by and among CASCADE CORPORATION, an Oregon corporation, (the “Borrower”), the several financial institutions party as of the date hereof to the Loan Amendment referred to below (collectively called the “Lenders” and individually called a “Lender”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as agent for itself and the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

RECITALS

A. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent are parties to a Loan Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2003 (as amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).

B. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lenders have extended and are continuing to extend certain credit facilities to the Borrower.

C. The Borrower desires to reduce the pricing applicable to the credit facilities extended to the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

D. The Agent and Lenders are willing to amend the Loan Agreement to reduce the pricing applicable to the credit facilities extended to the Borrower, but only as provided, and subject to the terms and conditions contained, in this Amendment.

THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, each capitalized term used herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Loan Agreement.

2. Amendment to Loan Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of, and subject to the terms and conditions contained in, this Amendment, Section 1.1 (Certain Defined Terms) is hereby amended to delete the definition of “Applicable Interest Rate” and replace such definition with the following:

“‘Applicable Interest Rate’ means the following percentages per annum, based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as set forth in the most recent Compliance Certificate received by the Agent pursuant to Section 6.10(c):

Applicable Interest Rate

Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Interest Rate resulting from a change in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 6.10(c); provided, however, that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section, then Pricing Level 1 shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered until such time as the Compliance Certificate has been delivered and the actual Pricing Level has been determined. The Applicable Interest Rate in effect from the date of this Amendment through receipt of the financial statements for the period ending October 31, 2010, and the accompanying Compliance Certificate, shall be determined based upon Pricing Level 1.”

3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders as follows:

(a) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and other action and do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to or action by any Person (including any Governmental Person) in order to be effective and/or enforceable. Each of this Amendment and the Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against it, without defense, counterclaim or offset, in accordance with its terms (subject to the waivers set forth in this Amendment), except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights.

(c) All representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Loan Agreement and the statements set forth in the recitals of this Amendment are true and correct on and as of the date hereof (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date), in each case, other than (i) those that would not be true and correct but for the effectiveness of this Amendment, and

(ii) with respect to Section 5.16 of the Loan Agreement, as otherwise disclosed to the Agent. The Borrower has updated the schedules to the Loan Agreement in accordance with the attached schedules.

(d) The Borrower is entering into this Amendment on the basis of its own business judgment, without reliance upon the Agent, any Lender or any other Person.

4. Effective Date. This Amendment will become effective as of the date first set forth above (the “Effective Date”), provided that each of the following conditions precedent is satisfied on or before the Effective Date:

(a) the Agent has received, in sufficient number for each Lender, duly executed originals (or, if elected by the Agent, an executed facsimile copy, to be followed promptly by delivery of executed originals) of this Amendment, executed by the Borrower and each of the Lenders and acknowledged by the Agent, together with the Guarantor Acknowledgment and Consent attached hereto, executed by each Guarantor, and such other documentation as Agent shall reasonably require, including, but not limited to, an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, resolutions authorizing the transaction described herein.

(b) all of the representations and warranties contained herein (or incorporated herein by reference) are true and correct as of the Effective Date.

5. No Further Amendments. Other than the specific amendments of the Loan Agreement as set forth in Section 2 hereof: (i) nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of any provision, or any other existing or future noncompliance with any provision, of the Loan Agreement (including the Loan Agreement as amended hereby); and (ii) all of the terms, covenants and provisions of the Loan Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect.

6. Miscellaneous.

(a) All references in the Loan Agreement and in the other Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement shall henceforth refer to the Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment shall be deemed incorporated into, and a part of, the Loan Agreement. This Amendment is a Loan Document.

(b) This Amendment is made pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Loan Agreement and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns. No third party beneficiaries are intended in connection with this Amendment.

(c) This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Oregon.

(d) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

form of an executed original or an executed original sent by facsimile transmission to be followed promptly by delivery of a hard copy original, and that receipt by the Agent of a facsimile transmitted document purportedly bearing the signature of a Lender or the Borrower (or Guarantor) shall bind such Lender or the Borrower (or Guarantor), respectively, with the same force and effect as the delivery of a hard copy original. Any failure by the Agent to receive the hard copy executed original of such document shall not diminish the binding effect of receipt of the facsimile transmitted executed original of such document of the party whose hard copy page was not received by the Agent.

(e) If any term or provision of this Amendment shall be deemed prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such provision shall be invalidated without affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment or the Loan Agreement, respectively.

(g) The Borrower covenants to pay to or reimburse the Agent, upon demand, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and related documents.

(h) UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS, PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY THE LENDERS CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSIONS WHICH ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE BORROWER’S RESIDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION, AND BE SIGNED BY THE LENDERS TO BE ENFORCEABLE.
