 CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of October 3, 2008 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), between AMPEX CORPORATION as Borrower, the SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS party hereto and HILLSIDE CAPITAL INCORPORATED as Lender. 
 REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT REFERRED TO BELOW. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS
GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CLAIMHOLDERS PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY BY THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE OTHER CLAIMHOLDERS THEREUNDER OR HEREUNDER ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN. 
 RECITALS: 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower (as hereinafter defined) has commenced
a voluntary case (the “Chapter 11 Case”) under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and the Borrower has continued to
operate its businesses and manage its property as debtor-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 WHEREAS, by order, dated July 31, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the “First Modified Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization for Ampex Corporation and its Affiliated Debtors”, dated July 31,
2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan of Reorganization”), in accordance with section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as hereinafter defined) are herewith entering into
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as so defined) to partially satisfy the Prepetition Debt Obligations (as so defined) as provided in the Plan of Reorganization, to pay certain fees, costs and expenses, and to consummate the Plan
of Reorganization and for other purposes as provided herein. In that connection, the Obligors have requested that the Lender (as so defined) make loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $5,000,000 for such purposes.

 WHEREAS, to induce the Lender to make such loans, the Obligors and the Lender propose to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to
which the Lender will make such loans to the Borrower, certain other loans will be deemed made to the Borrower, and the Subsidiary Guarantors will guarantee the loans so made and deemed made to the Borrower and each of the Obligors will agree to
execute and deliver security agreements providing for security interests and liens to be granted by the Obligors on substantially all of their respective properties as collateral security for the obligations of the Obligors to the Lender hereunder
and under the Senior Notes. Each of the Obligors expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the loans so made to the Borrower, both in its separate capacity and as a member of the integrated 








 
group, since the successful operation of each of the Obligors is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the integrated group
as a whole and the refinancing of the Borrower’s existing indebtedness.

 ARTICLE III 
 GUARANTEE 
 SECTION 3.01 The Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally
guarantee to the Lender, each other holder of a Guaranteed Obligation (as hereinafter defined) and its successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and
interest on the Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower and all fees, indemnification payments and other amounts whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter from time to time owing to the Lender by the Borrower
under this Agreement and by any Obligor under any of the other Loan Documents, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof and including all interest and expenses accrued or incurred subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings with respect to the Borrower, whether or not such interest or expenses are allowed as a claim in such proceeding (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantors will promptly pay
the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 
 SECTION 3.02 Obligations Unconditional. The
obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 3.01 are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section that the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder
shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability
of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above: 
 (i) at any time
or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 
 (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be
done or omitted; 
 (iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or 
  

 - 25 - 








 (iv) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Lender as security for
any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected. 
 The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment,
demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever and any requirement that the Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any
other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 3.03 Reinstatement. The
obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Lender
on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such
payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. 
 SECTION 3.04
Subrogation. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments under this Agreement and until the
Hillside-Ampex/Sherborne Agreement has been terminated and Hillside is no longer obligated to make Required Contributions thereunder, they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in
Section 3.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 3.05 Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Lender, the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VIII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VIII)
for purposes of Section 3.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such
declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of
Section 3.01. 
 SECTION 3.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges, to the extent
permitted by law, that the guarantee in this Article constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Lender, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys
due hereunder, shall have, to the extent permitted by law, the right to bring motion action under N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.

shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. 
 SECTION 3.08 Rights of Contribution. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
agree, as between themselves, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, then each other Subsidiary Guarantor
shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without
reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor
under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Article and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any
right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations. 
 For purposes of this
Section, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess
Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any
Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock or other equity interest of any other
Subsidiary Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder
and any obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount
of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) of all of the
Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto on the Closing Date, as of the Closing Date, and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such Subsidiary
Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. 
 SECTION 3.09 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or
proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 3.01 would
otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 3.08, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 3.01,
then, 

  

 - 27 - 








 
notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Lender or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

 SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except as permitted by the Intercreditor
Agreement and pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Lender.

Transaction Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender
(including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Lender) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this
Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans and (iii) and all costs, expenses, taxes,
assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and each Related Party of the Lender (each such Person being called
an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by
any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Obligor arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document
or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan
or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability

 - 48 - 








 
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Obligor, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a
claim brought by the Borrower or any other Obligor against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, if the Borrower or such Obligor has obtained a final and
nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (c) Waiver of Consequential
Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Obligor shall assert, and each Obligor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 (d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants, to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the respective Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 (b) Assignment by the Lender. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.01A, the Lender may at
any time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent shall be required for an assignment to an Affiliate of the Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person. In the event of any such
assignment, the Lender and the assignee or assignees may enter such intercreditor arrangements as they may determine to be necessary or advisable for the purpose of determining voting rights and similar issues hereunder. From and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this
Agreement, and the Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective
date of such assignment. 
 (c) Participations. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.01A, the Lender may at any time, without
the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the
Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will
not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) increase or extend the term of the Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or
any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon to a level below the rate at which the Participant is
entitled to receive such interest. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were the Lender. 
 (d) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.09 than the
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. 
 (e) Certain Pledges. The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the
time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as
the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.09, Section 3.03 and Section 9.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements
and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Obligor. 
 SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of
this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the obligations of such Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document to the Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such obligations of such Obligor may be contingent or unmatured or are
owed to a branch or office of the Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that the Lender or its Affiliates may have. The Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.
