hereby creates, mortgages, pledges, hypothecates and transfers to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing first priority security interest in all such Grantors’ right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral (except for Liens expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement or hereby and
any liens or licenses listed on Schedule V attached hereto) (the “Security Interest”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to file one or more financing statements, continuation statements,
filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or similar office in any other country), or any other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security
Interest granted by such Grantor, without the signature of such Grantor, naming such Grantor as debtor and the Collateral Agent as secured party. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Collateral shall not include any License which by its terms or
the terms governing it prohibits assignment thereof or the grant of a security interest therein; provided that such term or terms are typical or customary in connection with the document or instrument to which they relate. 

Each Grantor agrees at all times to keep accurate and complete, in all material respects, accounting records with respect to the
Collateral and, on and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, a record of all payments and Proceeds received in respect thereof. 

SECTION 2.02. Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees, at its own cost and expense, to promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver and
cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request for the better assuring, preserving and perfecting of the Security Interest and the rights
and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest created hereby, the filing of any

  

 5 








 
financing statements or other documents (including filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office or similar offices in any other country) in
connection herewith, and the execution and delivery of any document required to supplement this Agreement with respect to any Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights applied for, acquired, registered (or for which registration applications are filed)
or issued after the date hereof. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, such note or instrument shall
(to the extent not previously pledged and delivered pursuant to the Pledge Agreements) be immediately pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Each Grantor agrees promptly to
notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is canceled or overturned, opposed, misappropriated, injured, infringed, lost (other than due to expiration of any issued Patent) or, if applicable, diluted. 

SECTION 2.03. Inspection and Verification. Without limiting the scope of Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral
Agent and such representatives as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate shall have the right to inspect, at any reasonable times or times, any of the Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from such records)
and the premises upon which any of the Collateral is located, to discuss any Grantor’s affairs with the officers of such Grantor and its independent accountants and to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity,
value, conditions, and status of or any other matter relating to such Collateral, including, in the case of Collateral in the possession of any third party (with, except after an Event of Default shall have occurred and during the continuance
thereof, the consent of such Grantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), by contacting such person possessing such Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share
any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any or all of the Secured Parties. 
 SECTION 2.04. Taxes;
Encumbrances. At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral and not permitted under this
Agreement or other Loan Documents, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of any of the Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so to the extent required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and such Grantor agrees to
reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be interpreted as
excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, liens,
security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 2.05.
No Assumption of Liability. The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject any Secured Party to, or in any way alter or 

 

 6 








 
modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of any of the Collateral.

notice to Finance, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Grantors, with power of substitution for the Grantors and in the Grantors’ names, the Collateral Agent’s name or otherwise, for
the use and benefit of the Secured Parties: (a) upon prior notice from the Collateral Agent, to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the
Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice relating to any of the
Collateral; (d) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect
of any Collateral; (e) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to or pertaining to all or any of the Collateral; (f) to license or, to the extent permitted by any applicable law,
sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any of the Collateral throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall determine
(other than in violation of any then existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers or other adequate provision cannot be secured therefor); and (g) generally to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect
to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for
all purposes; provided, however, that except as provided for by law or the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions, nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring
or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken by the Collateral Agent or omitted to be taken with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give
rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of any Grantor or to any claim or action against the Collateral Agent. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the
purposes set forth above in this Section 5.01 is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 5.01 shall in no event relieve the Grantors of any of their obligations hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or
any other Loan Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way
limit the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any other or further right that it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder or by law or by the Security Agreement, or otherwise. 

 

 13 








 SECTION 5.02. Other Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor expressly agrees that, subject to prior written notice to Finance, the Collateral Agent on demand shall have the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different
times: with or without legal process and with or without previous notice or demand for performance, to take possession of all tangible manifestations or embodiments of the Collateral and documentation relating thereto and all business records,
documents, files, prints and labels with respect to the Collateral, and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where such tangible manifestations or embodiments, business records, documents, files, prints and labels with respect to the
Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing such tangible manifestations or embodiments, business records, documents, files, prints and labels with respect to the Collateral, and, generally, to exercise any and all
rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law applicable to any part of the Collateral. Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the
right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future
delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the
property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal that such Grantor now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. 
 The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors
at least 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the
Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on an exchange, shall state the board or
exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and
at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral
Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have
been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale
price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall 
  

 14 








 
not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon
like notice to the Grantors. At any public sale made pursuant to this Section 5.02, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor
(all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to such
Grantor therefor. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. 

SECTION 5.03. Application of Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale of Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of
cash, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent as follows: 
 First, to the payment of all costs and
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any of the
Obligations, including all reasonable court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Grantor
and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; 

Second, to the payment of all amounts of the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties in respect of Loans made by
them and outstanding and amounts owing in respect of any LC Disbursement or Letter of Credit or under any Cash Management Arrangement, Commodity Rate Protection Agreement or Interest/Exchange Rate Protection Agreement, pro rata as among the Secured
Parties in accordance with the amount of such Obligations owed them; 
 Third, to the payment and
discharge in full of the Obligations (other than those referred to above), pro rata as among the Secured Parties in accordance with the amount of such Obligations owed to them; and 

Fourth, after payment in full of all Obligations, to the applicable Grantor, or its successor or assign thereof,
or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any Collateral then remaining. 
  

 15 








 The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds,
moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the
officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the
Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 
 SECTION 5.04. Grant of
License to Use Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article V at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise
such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral now
owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored. The use of such license by the Collateral
Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent for any purpose appropriate in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder, only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided that any
license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon such Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. The Collateral Agent agrees to apply the net proceeds
received from any license as provided in Section 5.03. 
 ARTICLE VI 

Miscellaneous 

SECTION 6.01. Notices. Notices and other communications provided for herein shall be given (i) in the case of communications
and notices to GrafTech, Global, Finance or any Secured Party, as provided in the Credit Agreement and (ii) in the case of communications and notices to any other Grantor, as provided in the Guarantee Agreement. 

SECTION 6.02. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference
shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party, and the terms “Lender”, “Issuing Bank” and “Secured Party” shall include each permitted successor and assignee of any Lender, Issuing Bank
or Secured Party permitted under Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Grantors or the Collateral Agent or that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the
benefit of their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns referred to above. 
  

 16 








 (b) No Grantor shall assign or delegate any of its rights and duties hereunder. 

SECTION 6.03. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT FEDERAL LAW OR LAWS OF ANOTHER STATE OR FOREIGN JURISDICTION MAY APPLY TO PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS, OTHER COLLATERAL OR REMEDIES. 

SECTION 6.04. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right 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 right or power. The rights and remedies of the
Collateral Agent hereunder and of other Secured Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into between any Grantor and the Collateral Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or without such consent if so provided in the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that except as provided herein
or in the other Loan Documents, no such agreement shall amend, modify, waive or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. 

SECTION 6.05. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the security interests granted hereunder
and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional. 
 SECTION 6.06. Survival of
Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Grantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, the execution and delivery to the Lenders of the Loan Documents and the issuance by the Issuing Bank of the Letters of Credit,
regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement or any fee or any other amount payable
under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. 
  

 17 








 SECTION 6.07. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor
when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION 6.08.
Termination; Release. (a) This Agreement and the security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit are
outstanding. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if all the obligations in respect of any Cash Management
Arrangement, Commodity Rate Protection Agreement or Interest/Exchange Rate Protection Agreement, if any, have been secured on a ratable basis with the obligations under a refinancing or replacement of the Credit Agreement, then this Agreement and
the security interest created hereunder shall terminate when all the obligations under the Credit Agreement have been fully and indefeasibly paid and when the Secured Parties have no further Commitments under the Credit Agreement and no Letters of
Credit are outstanding. 
 (c) Each Grantor (other than GrafTech, Global, Finance and GrafTech International Holdings Inc.)
shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be automatically released in the event that a portion of the Capital Stock of such Grantor shall be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of to a person that is not an Affiliate of GrafTech in a transaction permitted pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement that will result in such Grantor ceasing to be a Subsidiary after giving effect to such
disposition. Any Collateral granted hereunder shall be released (automatically and without further action on the part of the Collateral Agent) upon the sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral to a transferee who is not a
“Grantor” hereunder, to the extent that such sale, transfer or other disposition is permitted under the Credit Agreement. 

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) above, the Collateral Agent shall
execute and deliver to each Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, documents in order to terminate any United States Patent and Trademark Office filings and similar documents that such Grantor
shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 6.08 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. 

SECTION 6.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS 
  

 18 








 
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.09. 

SECTION 6.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood
that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 6.11. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding
may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Loan Party or Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents against any Grantor or any Secured Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b)
Each Grantor and each Secured Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to
service of process by mail at the address provided for notices in Section 6.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

 

 19 








 SECTION 6.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective as provided in Section 6.07. 

SECTION 6.13. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 6.14. Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement (and the requirement thereunder that all
actions be taken in order to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied at all times), certain Subsidiaries are required to enter into this Agreement as a Grantor upon the occurrence of certain events. Upon execution and
delivery, after the date hereof, by the Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex I, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor hereunder.
The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a
party to this Agreement.

 ANNEX I TO 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 

SECURITY AGREEMENT 

SUPPLEMENT NO. [•] dated as of [            ], to the
Amended and Restated Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of April 28, 2010 (the “Intellectual Property Security Agreement”), made by GRAFTECH INTERNATIONAL LTD., a Delaware corporation
(“GrafTech”), GRAFTECH GLOBAL ENTERPRISES INC., a Delaware corporation (“Global”), GRAFTECH FINANCE INC., a Delaware corporation (“Finance” and, together with GrafTech Switzerland S.A.,
the “Borrowers”), and the other subsidiaries of GrafTech from time to time party thereto (together with GrafTech, Global and Finance, the “Grantors”) in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. as collateral agent
for the Secured Parties (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning given it in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, and if not defined therein, having the meaning given it in the Credit
Agreement (as defined below)). 
 A. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 28,
2010 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among GrafTech, Global, the Borrowers, the LC Subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to
time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Issuing Bank. 
 B. The
Grantors have entered into the Intellectual Property Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the
Credit Agreement. Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement (and the requirement thereunder that all actions be taken in order to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied at all times), certain Subsidiaries are
required to enter into the Intellectual Property Security Agreement as a Grantor upon the occurrence of certain events. Section 6.14 of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Grantors under
the Intellectual Property Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned (the “New Grantor”) is a Subsidiary and is executing this Supplement in accordance with the
requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under the Intellectual Property Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for
Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued. 
 Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as
follows: 
 SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.15 of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the New
Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby agrees to all the terms








 
and provisions of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Intellectual Property Security
Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The Intellectual Property Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 

SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws effecting creditors’ rights generally
and equitable principles of general applicability. 
 SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this
Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Grantor and the Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION 4. Except
as expressly supplemented hereby, the Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

SECTION 6. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement or in any other Loan Document should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in the Intellectual Property Security
Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Grantor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature, with a copy to Finance, as such address may be changed in accordance with the Intellectual Property Security
Agreement.
