(i) acknowledges receipt of the foregoing Eighth Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2006 (the “Amendment”); (ii) consents to the terms and execution thereof; (iii) reaffirms his
obligations to the Lender pursuant to the terms of his Guaranty; and (iv) acknowledges that the Lender may amend, restate, extend, renew or otherwise modify the Credit Agreement and any indebtedness or agreement of the Borrower, or enter into

future indebtedness to the Lender. 
 The undersigned hereby further agrees that Sections 4 and 5 of the Guaranty are hereby

or shall be or become insolvent (however defined), then the Lender shall have the right to declare immediately due and payable, and the Guarantor will forthwith pay to the Lender, the full amount of all of the Indebtedness whether due and payable or
unmatured; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing and so long as either (i) the estate of Guarantor reaffirms the obligations owing hereunder within 60 days of such death, or (ii) Lender is provided with cash
collateral in the amount of $2,000,000 pursuant to a cash collateral security agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (either from the estate of the Guarantor or from the cash proceeds of a life insurance policy on the Guarantor’s

fees, collection costs and enforcement expenses referable thereto. The Indebtedness may be created and continued in any amount, whether or not in excess of such principal amount, without
affecting or impairing the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, and the Lender may pay (or allow for the payment of) the excess out of any sums received by or available to the Lender on account of the Indebtedness from the Borrower or any other
person (except the Guarantor), from their properties, out of any collateral security or from any other source, and such payment (or allowance) shall not reduce, affect or impair the Guarantor’s liability hereunder. Any payment made by the
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be effective to reduce or discharge such liability only if accompanied by a written transmittal document, received by the Lender, advising the Lender that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose.
