RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time as a party thereto and the Administrative Agent, are party to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 2, 2017 (as previously amended, amended and restated, supplemented, restructured or otherwise modified, renewed or replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent that it may fail to pay the principal of and/or interest on certain Debt incurred in connection with the leasing of certain railcars and distribution centers (the “Lease Obligations”), when the same becomes due and payable during the period from March 1, 2020, until March 31, 2020, pursuant to the agreements or instruments relating to such Debt (such potential failure, the “Specified Action”); and

WHEREAS, to the extent the Borrower fails to perform the Specified Action, and such failure shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreements relating to the Lease Obligations, and to the extent such failure would constitute a Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, including Section 7.1(e) thereof (such potential default, the “Specified Event of Default”), the Borrower has requested that the Majority Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders) agree to waive such Specified Event of Default, to the extent it occurs.

SECTION 1.Limited Waiver.  Effective on, and subject to the occurrence of, the Effective Date, the Lenders hereby waive (a) the Specified Event of Default and (b) each Default or Event of Default that occurs as a result of any untrue representation or warranty made by the Borrower that no Default or Event of Default had occurred, in each case solely as a result of the failure to take such Specified Action.
