W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 24, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Prior Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Bank made certain loans and other financial accommodations to the Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein;

WHEREAS, each of the Debtors has reviewed, consented to and executed various agreements, documents and instruments in connection with the Prior Credit Agreement, including but not limited to, the “Collateral Documents” (as defined in the Prior Credit Agreement) (collectively, the “Existing Collateral Documents”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Bank have agreed to amend and restate the Prior Credit Agreement pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 20, 2017 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), without constituting a novation;

WHEREAS, each Debtor shall derive both direct and indirect additional benefits from the loans and other financial accommodations (collectively, the “Loans”) made pursuant to or otherwise evidenced or governed by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that each Debtor enter into this Master Reaffirmation to acknowledge and agree that the Existing Collateral Documents, and the liens, security interests and guarantees granted and issued thereunder, secure and guaranty the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Bank Product Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein and to induce the Bank to make the Loans pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and to enter into and perform obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, each of the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

SECTION 2.                                             REAFFIRMATION.

Each Debtor, as debtors, grantors, pledgors, guarantors, mortgagors, assignors, as applicable, or in other similar capacities in which any such Debtor grants liens or security interests in its properties or otherwise act as accommodation parties or guarantors, as the case may be, in any case under the Existing Collateral Documents, hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each such Existing Collateral Document to which it is a party and, to the extent such Debtor granted liens on or security interests in any of its properties pursuant to any such Existing Collateral Documents as security for the Obligations under or with respect to the Prior Credit Agreement or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, any Hedging Liability and any Bank Product Obligations, each hereby ratifies and reaffirms such grant of liens and security interests and confirms and agrees that such liens and security interests hereafter secure all of the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Bank Product Obligations, including, without limitation, all additional Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Bank Product Obligations resulting from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, in each case as if each reference in such Existing Collateral Documents to the obligations secured thereby are construed to hereafter mean and refer to such Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, any Hedging Liability and any Bank Product

Obligations.  Each Debtor hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and hereby consents to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, subject to the limitations, if any, set forth therein, and each Debtor hereby acknowledges that each of the Existing Collateral Documents remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.  The execution of this Master Reaffirmation shall not operate as (i) a novation of any of the “Obligations,” “Hedging Liability,” “Bank Product Obligations,” “Secured Obligations,” or any other obligations, liability or indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or the Existing Collateral Documents or (ii) a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Bank, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Existing Collateral Documents.
