Lender, cause such assets or property to become part of the Collateral and take such reasonable steps as Lender may require in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.7. 
 2.8 Possession of Collateral and Related Matters. Until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Credit Party shall have the

Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by law, Lender may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in
part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) for the purchase of the Collateral or any portion thereof for the account of Lender and/or disclaim all warranties. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice

further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law, each Credit Party hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing
or hereafter enacted. Lender shall not be required to proceed against any Collateral but may proceed against any Credit Party directly.

receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (b) to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account, or release wholly or partly any customer or obligor thereunder or allow any credit

Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Lender with respect to any of the Collateral; and (e) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of
lading, storage or warehouse receipts, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral. The appointment of Lender as each Credit Party’s attorney and Lender’s rights and
powers are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until payment in full and complete performance of all of the Obligations. 
 7.5
Limitation on Duty of Lender with Respect to Collateral. Beyond the safe custody thereof, Lender shall have no duty with respect to any Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee) or with
respect to any income thereon or the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if
the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property. Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason
of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by Lender in good faith. 
 7.6 Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) each Credit Party irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times
thereafter received by Lender from or on behalf of such Credit Party, and each Credit Party hereby irrevocably agrees that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default against the Obligations in such manner as Lender may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous entry by Lender upon any books and records and (b) the proceeds of any sale
of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral; second, to all fees due and
owing to Lender; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations; fourth, to the principal amounts of the Obligations outstanding; and fifth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower owing to Lender. 
 7.7 License of Intellectual Property. The Credit Parties hereby assign, transfer and convey to Lender, the non-exclusive right and license to use
all Intellectual Property owned or used by the Credit Parties together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable Lender, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder and in
connection with Lender exercising its rights with respect to all of the Collateral, to realize on all of the Collateral and any successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of such Collateral. This right and license shall inure to the benefit of all
successors, assigns and 

  

 -42- 








 
transferees of Lender and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed
in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license is granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to the Credit Parties by Lender. 
 7.8 Waivers, Non-Exclusive Remedies. By making the advance of the Term Loan hereunder, Lender does not thereby waive a breach of any warranty or
representation made by the Credit Parties hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or a breach under any agreement, document, or instrument delivered to Lender or otherwise referred to herein, and all of Lender’s claims and rights
resulting from any breach or misrepresentation by the Credit Parties is specifically reserved by Lender. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. The rights in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. 
 SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS 
 8.1 Assignments and Participations. Lender may assign its
rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement and further may assign, or sell participations in, all or any part of the Term Loan or any other interest herein to an Affiliate or to another Person. In the case of an assignment authorized
under this Section 8.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder and Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect
to the commitments or assigned portion thereof. The Credit Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any assignment will give rise to a direct obligation of the Credit Parties to the assignee and that the assignee shall be deemed to be a
“Lender”. Lender shall act as agent of each assignee for the sole purpose (and not for any other purpose) of perfecting and maintaining a security interest in the Collateral to the extent that perfection of a security interest in the
Collateral is achieved by means of filing a financing statement in the applicable jurisdiction. Lender may furnish any information concerning the Credit Parties in its possession from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective
assignees and participants), provided that any such assignee or participant or prospective assignee or participant agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information pursuant to a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to
Borrower. All communications by the Credit Parties with Lender and every assignee shall be required to be sent or given to only Lender or one of the assignees in place of Lender. 
 8.2 Set Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default, Lender, each assignee of Lender’s interest, and each participant is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to Borrower or to any other
Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower) and
any other property at any time held or owing by that Lender or assignee to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations then outstanding; provided, that no participant shall exercise such
right without the prior written consent of Lender. 
  

 -43- 








 The Credit Parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender, assignee or
participant may exercise its right of setoff with respect to amounts in excess of its pro rata share of the Obligations (or, in the case of a participant, in excess of its pro rata participation interest in the Obligations) and that such Lender,
assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have purchased for cash in the amount of such excess, participations in each other Lender’s or holder’s share of the Obligations. 
 8.3 Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to promptly pay
all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any matters contemplated by or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents including the following, and all such fees, costs and expenses shall be part of
the Obligations, payable on demand and secured by the Collateral: (a) fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and fees of environmental consultants, accountants and other professionals retained by Lender) incurred

counsel) and costs of settlement incurred in collecting upon or enforcing rights against the Collateral or incurred in any action to enforce this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to collect any payments due from Borrower or any other Credit
Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or incurred in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement, whether in the nature of a “workout” or in connection
with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise; (g) Lender’s reasonable out of pocket expenses and internal costs and disbursements, whenever incurred, in monitoring and administering the Term Loan and Warrant; and (h) the
cost of procuring background checks or updating background checks previously obtained by Lender relating to officers of Borrower (Borrower shall use its best efforts to obtain the consent of all officers to such checks or updated checks).

 8.4 Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 8.3, whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay and hold Lender, its participants and assignees and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, auditors, persons engaged by any of them to
evaluate or monitor the Collateral, affiliates and attorneys of any of them (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such

Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be
designated a party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, the statements contained in the Commitment Letter(s), if any, delivered by Lender, Lender’s agreement to make the Term Loan hereunder, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Term Loan or the exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities directly arising from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 8.5 Amendments
and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom or any of the terms, conditions, or provisions thereof, shall be

 8.7 Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements. 
 (A) All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or
thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Lender regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on its
behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any breach of a representation or warranty, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation shall remain outstanding. 
 (B) This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid and satisfied in full, at which time this Agreement shall be terminated; provided, however, that the agreements set forth in Sections 8.3 and 8.4 (and any guaranty by the Guarantors of the Obligations of Borrower
with respect to such Sections 8.3 and 8.4) shall survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 8.8 Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege shall impair
such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege. 
 8.9 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of
any Credit Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Lender or Lender enforces its security interests or exercise its rights of setoff, and
such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party
under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies thereof, shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 8.11 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not

condition exists. 
 8.12 Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or
obligation under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents or of such provision or
obligation in any other jurisdiction.

shareholder, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Credit Parties hereby waive, release, and agree not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential

Documents. The Credit Parties hereby waive, release, and agree not to sue Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out

outstanding shares of capital stock of Akrion SCP pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender) and Akrion SCP shall have executed and delivered all Guarantor Security Documents reasonably required by the

 (c) The representations and warranties contained herein and in the Loan Documents (after giving effective to this Amendment) shall be true, correct

 (f) There shall not be pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, any action, charge, claim, demand, suit, proceeding, petition, governmental investigation or arbitration by, against or affecting
the Borrower, any Guarantor or Akrion SCP or any property of the Borrower, any Guarantor or Akrion SCP that has not been disclosed by the Borrower, any Guarantor or Akrion SCP, in writing, and there shall have occurred no development in any such
action, charge, claim, demand, suit, proceeding, petition, governmental investigation or arbitration that, in the opinion of the Lender, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (g) The Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that nothing has occurred since December 31, 2005, which reasonably
could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (h) Senior Working Capital Lender shall have received delivery and possession of
the stock certificate representing the Borrower’s 100% ownership interest in the stock of Akrion SCP to be held for the benefit of itself and Lender. 
 (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Lender on the Effective Date all reasonable fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees), costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any matters
contemplated by this Amendment which are due and payable as of the Effective Date 
 6. Representations and Warranties. To induce the
Lender to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery hereof) that: 
 (a) Organization and Powers. The Borrower and Akrion SCP are corporations duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of their incorporation and are qualified to do business in all states where such qualification is required except where failure to be so qualified could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower
and Akrion SCP have all requisite power and authority to own and operate their properties, to carry on their business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted and to enter into this Amendment. 
 (b) Authorization of Borrowing; No Conflict. The Borrower has the power and authority to grant a security interest in the shares of Akrion
SCP. Akrion SCP has the power and authority to incur the Obligations and to grant a security interest in the Collateral. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment by the Borrower and Akrion SCP 

  

 4 








 
have been duly authorized by all necessary company and shareholder action. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment by the Borrower and
Akrion SCP and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, do not contravene and will not be in contravention of any applicable law, organizational documents of the Borrower or Akrion SCP or any agreement or order by which
they or any of their property is bound. This Amendment is, the legally valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its respective terms except as the enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws effecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and subject to any equitable principles limiting the right to obtain specific performance of any such obligation. 
 (c) Title to Properties; Liens. The Borrower and Akrion SCP have good, sufficient and legal title, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, to all
of their respective properties and assets. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, all such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens. To the knowledge of the Borrower and Akrion SCP, there are no actual, threatened or alleged defaults with
respect to any leases of real property under which the Borrower or Akrion SCP, as the case maybe, is lessee or lessor which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (d) Litigation; Adverse Facts. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9, as amended hereby, there are no judgments outstanding against the
Borrower or Akrion SCP or affecting any property of Borrower or Akrion SCP, respectively nor is there any action, charge, claim, demand, suit, proceeding, petition, governmental investigation or arbitration now pending or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or Akrion SCP or any property of the Borrower or Akrion SCP, respectively, which could have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor Akrion SCP has received any opinion or memorandum
or legal advice from legal counsel to the effect that it is exposed to any liability which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (e) Representations and Warranties of Loan Agreement. The Borrower reconfirms and reaffirms that the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 of the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, are true
and correct as of the date hereof (except those that expressly relate to an earlier date) and all of the provisions of the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents, except as waived hereby, are in full force and effect.

 7. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AMENDMENT AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND ARISING HEREFROM (WHETHER ARISING UNDER CONTRACT LAW, TORT
LAW OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. 
 8. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall 

  

 5 








 
constitute but one and the same instrument. This Amendment shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment or to any other Loan Document by Facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. 
 9. Effect on Loan Documents. 
 (a) The Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and each of the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and hereby are ratified and confirmed in all respects. The
