On June 30, 2009, The Valspar Corporation ("Valspar" or the "Company") entered into a Three-Year Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and an issuing bank, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as an issuing bank, and certain other lenders.

Under the terms of the Three-Year Credit Agreement, Valspar and certain foreign and domestic subsidiaries designated under the credit agreement may obtain revolving loans in various currencies until June 30, 2012 in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not greater than $465,000,000 USD. The outstanding loans will mature on June 30, 2012. Interest on each loan is payable at variable rates calculated as specified in the credit agreement for the particular loan. Borrowings under the credit agreement are unsecured and are guaranteed by Valspar and certain domestic subsidiaries designated under the agreement.

Valspar has agreed to comply with certain covenants set forth in the credit agreement. Among other things, the covenants (a) could, subject to certain exceptions described in the agreement, restrict the ability of Valspar and its subsidiaries to incur a significant amount of debt secured by liens, (b) require Valspar to maintain a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00, and (c) require Valspar to maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters of not less than 4.00 to 1.00. Subject to various exceptions, the covenants could also prohibit Valspar or certain of its subsidiaries from merging or consolidating with or engaging in a sale of substantially all of assets to any party, or discontinuing or eliminating a business line or segment representing more than 20% of Valspar's consolidated operating profits (as calculated under the agreement), but the Company may nonetheless merge with another party if (i) such other party is organized under the laws of the United States of America or one of its states, (ii) the Company is the corporation surviving such merger, and (iii) immediately after giving effect to such merger, no default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The description above is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Three-Year Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by this reference.
