(f/k/a Mountain People's Warehouse Incorporated), a California corporation with its chief executive office and principal place of business located at 1101 Sunset Boulevard, Rocklin, California 95765 (“UNFW”), UNITED NATURAL TRADING CO., a Delaware corporation with its chief executive office and principal place of business located at 96 Executive Drive, Edison, New Jersey 08817 (“UNT”), DISTRIBUTION HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation with its chief executive office and principal place of business located at 260 Lake Road, Dayville, Connecticut 06241 (“Holdings”), SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT, LLC (f/k/a United Northeast LLC), a Delaware limited liability company with its chief executive office and principal place of business located at 260 Lake Road, Dayville, Connecticut 06241 (“SDLLC”), and MILLBROOK DISTRIBUTION SERVICES INC., a Delaware corporation with its chief executive office and principal place of business located at 88 Huntoon Memorial Hwy, Leicester, Massachusetts 01524 (“Millbrook together with UNF, UNFW, UNT, Holdings and SDLLC, collectively, the “Borrowers”) jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of [_______________] (“Lender”), at the office of Agent, defined below, located at 200 Glastonbury Boulevard, Glastonbury, Connecticut 06033, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available finds, the principal amount of [______________] Dollars ($[_______]) or such lesser sum as may constitute Lender's Pro Rata share of the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the Loan Agreement referred to below, in accordance with the terms thereof.
 
This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (the “Note”) is a Revolving Credit Note referred to in, and is issued pursuant to, that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement among Borrowers, Bank of America, N.A. (as successor to Fleet Capital Corporation) as administrative agent (“Agent”) for itself and the lenders from time to time a party thereto (“Lenders”), and certain other parties, dated April 30, 2004, as amended from time to time (hereinafter, as amended from time to time, the Loan Agreement”), and is entitled to all of the benefits and security of the Loan Agreement. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the Security Documents are hereby made a part of this Note and are deemed incorporated herein in full. All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise specifically defined in this Note, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
 
This Note amends and restates that certain Revolving Credit Note dated April 30, 2004 in the original principal amount of $[__________] executed and delivered by the Borrowers to the

 
 
 
 


Lender (the “Original Note”). This Note is executed and delivered in substitution for, but not in satisfaction of, the Original Note.
 
The rate of interest in effect hereunder shall be calculated with reference to the Base Rate or LIBOR, as applicable, as more specifically provided in the Loan Agreement. The interest due shall be computed and shall be payable in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement.
 
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Agreement, if any payment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans evidenced by this promissory note constitutes a LIBOR Advance, and an extension of the maturity of any payment hereon would cause the maturity thereof to occur during the next calendar month, then such payment shall mature on the next preceding Business Day.
 
This Note shall be subject to mandatory prepayment in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of the Loan Agreement. Borrowers may also terminate the Loan Agreement and, in connection with such termination, prepay this Note in the manner provided in Section 5.2.2 of the Loan Agreement.
 
Upon the occurrence and continuation of any one or more of the Events of Default specified in the Loan Agreement which have not been cured by Borrowers or waived by Agent, Agent may declare all Obligations evidenced hereby to be immediately due and payable (except with respect to any Event of Default set forth in Subsection 11.1.10 of the Loan Agreement, in which case all Obligations evidenced hereby shall automatically become immediately due and payable without the necessity of any notice or other demand) without presentment, demand, protest or any other action or obligation of Agent or Lender.
 
Time is of the essence of this Note. Borrowers hereby waive presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.
 
Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this Note. No delay or failure on the part of Agent or Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Agent or Lender of any right or remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Agent, at its option, may enforce its rights against any collateral securing this Note without enforcing its rights against Borrowers, any guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any other property or indebtedness due or to become due to Borrowers. Borrowers agree that, without releasing or impairing Borrowers' liability hereunder, Agent may at any time release, surrender, substitute or exchange any collateral securing this Note and may at any time release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

 
 
 
 

 
The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this promissory note shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Connecticut without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

All of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the Security Documents are hereby made a part of this Note and are deemed incorporated herein in full. All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise specifically defined in this Note, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
 
This Note amends and restates that certain Swingline Note dated April 30, 2004 in the original principal amount of $17,500,000 executed and delivered by the Borrowers to the Lender (the “Original Note”). This Note is executed and delivered in substitution for, but not in satisfaction of, the Original Note.

 

 
 
 
 


 
The rate of interest in effect hereunder shall be calculated with reference to the Base Rate, as more specifically provided in the Loan Agreement. The interest due shall be computed and shall be payable in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement.
 
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Agreement, if any payment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
 
This Note shall be subject to mandatory prepayment in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of the Loan Agreement. Borrowers may also terminate the Loan Agreement and, in connection with such termination, prepay this Note in the manner provided in Section 5.2.2 of the Loan Agreement.
 
Upon the occurrence and continuation of any one or more of the Events of Default specified in the Loan Agreement which have not been cured by Borrowers or waived by Agent, Agent may declare all Obligations evidenced hereby to be immediately due and payable (except with respect to any Event of Default set forth in subsection 11.1.10 of the Loan Agreement, in which case all Obligations evidenced hereby shall automatically become immediately due and payable without the necessity of any notice or other demand) without presentment, demand, protest or any other action or obligation of Agent or Lender.
 
Time is of the essence of this Note. Borrowers hereby waive presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.
 
Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this Note. No delay or failure on the part of Agent or Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Agent or Lender of any right or remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Agent, at its option, may enforce its rights against any collateral securing this Note without enforcing its rights against Borrowers, any guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any other property or indebtedness due or to become due to Borrowers. Borrowers agree that, without releasing or impairing Borrowers' liability hereunder, Agent may at any time release, surrender, substitute or exchange any collateral securing this Note and may at any time release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.
 
The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this promissory note shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Connecticut without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
