““Payment Condition” means, with respect to any action taken pursuant to Section 6.14, Section 7.02(i), 7.02(n)(y), 7.06(g)(y) or 7.13(a) (in the case of Section 7.13, to the extent using the Cumulative Credit) or 7.03(s), immediately after giving effect to such action, (I) Excess Availability is (and was for the period of 30 days immediately preceding such action) no less than the greater of (A) $23,750,000 and (B) 25% of the Aggregate Commitments or (II) (x) Excess Availability is (and was for the period of 30 days immediately preceding such action) no less than the greater of (A) $11,875,000 (but with respect to any action taken pursuant to 7.06(g)(y),$14,250,000) and (B) 12.5% of the Aggregate Commitments (but with respect to any action taken pursuant to 7.06(g)(y), 15% of the Aggregate Commitments) and (y) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the most recently ended Test Period at the end of which financial statements were required to be delivered hereunder calculated on a Pro Forma Basis is greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00.”

(d) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following definitions in appropriate alphabetical order as follows:
““Commodity Exchange Act” means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq.), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute.”
““Excluded Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Loan Party, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the Guarantee of such Loan Party of, or the grant by such Loan Party of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any Guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal or unlawful under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official
-2-
interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Loan Party’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act (for the avoidance of doubt, giving effect to all provisions of the Loan Documents at the time of such Guarantee or the grant of such security interest) at the time the Guarantee of such Loan Party or a grant by such Loan Party of a security interest, would otherwise have become effective with respect to such Swap Obligation but for such Loan Party’s failure to constitute an “eligible contract participant” at such time.” If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which such Guarantee or security interest is or becomes excluded in accordance with the first sentence of this definition.
““Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Loan Party with total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or that qualifies at the time the relevant Guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time under §1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”
““Specified Loan Party” means any Loan Party that is not an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act (determined prior to giving effect to Section 11.11 hereof).”
““Swap Obligations” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”
(e) The definition of “Obligations” appearing in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following text immediately after the period at the end thereof:
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no circumstances shall Excluded Swap Obligations constitute Obligations.”
(f) The definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” appearing in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following text immediately prior to the period at the end thereof:
“; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Guarantor, Guaranteed Obligations shall not include Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.”
(g) Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following text immediately at the end thereof
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no circumstances shall any amounts received from a Loan Party that is not an “eligible contract participant” (as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act) be applied towards the payment of obligations that are Excluded Swap Obligations, but, to the extent permitted by applicable law, appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties that are “eligible contract participants” to preserve, as
-3-
nearly as possible, the proportional allocation to the Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section.”
(h) Article XI of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 11.11:
“Section 11.11 Keepwell

The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section 11.11 to constitute, and this Section 11.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.”
(i) Article XI of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 11.12:
“Section 11.12 Excluded Swap Obligations Limitation
Notwithstanding anything in this Article XI to the contrary, no Guarantor shall be required to make any payment pursuant to this Guarantee to any party, and the right of set-off provided in Section 10.09 shall not apply with respect to any Guarantor, in each case, with respect to Excluded Swap Obligations, if any, of such Guarantor.”
