Amended and Restated GMAC Commercial Finance LLC Factoring Agreement

 Exhibit 10.4 
  
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 GMAC COMMERCIAL FINANCE LLC 
 FACTORING AGREEMENT 
  
 Arbinet-thexchange, Inc. 
 120 Albany Street, 
 Tower II, Suite 450 
 New Brunswick, NJ 08901 
  
 GMAC Commercial Finance LLC
(“Factor”) and Arbinet-thexchange, Inc. (“Client”) agree, as of February 10, 2003, that Factor shall, effective as of the Effective Date, act as Client’s primary factor upon the following terms and
conditions: 
  

	 	1.	COVERED SALES; SECURITY INTEREST 

  
 (a) Client hereby assigns and sells to Factor, as absolute owner, and Factor hereby purchases from Client, all Accounts, other than
Factored Refused Accounts, created on or after the Effective Date (collectively, the “Purchased Accounts”). Factor’s purchase of, and acquisition of title to, each Purchased Account will be effective as of the date of its
creation. Factor shall be Client’s sole factor other than with respect to Factored Refused Accounts. 
  
 (b) Client hereby grants to Factor a continuing security interest in all of the Collateral as security for all Obligations. 
  
 (c) Factor acknowledges that Client has obtained financing
from Silicon Valley Bank (“Lender”), in connection with which Client has granted to Lender a security interest in the Collateral and Lender and Factor have entered into a letter agreement, dated February 3, 2003, a true and
complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Lender Subordination Agreement”), pursuant to which Factor and Lender have set forth their agreement with respect to, among other things, the relative priorities of
their respective security interests in the Collateral. Client and Factor agree that to the extent that any of the terms hereof are inconsistent with any of the terms of the Lender Subordination Agreement, the terms of the Lender Subordination
Agreement shall control. 
  

	 	2.	CUSTOMER CREDIT APPROVAL 

  
 Client shall submit to Factor the information requested by Factor to analyze the creditworthiness of each of Client’s Customers. Factor may, in
Factor’s discretion, approve in writing all or a portion of Client’s Customers’ purchases, either by establishing a credit line limited to a specific amount for a specific Customer, or by approving all or a portion of a
Customer’s purchases. If Factor fails to respond to a request from Client for a credit approval or credit line with respect to a Customer within thirty (30) business days after its receipt of such request, in the case of a Foreign
Customer, or within seven (7) business days after its receipt of such request, in the case of Customer that is not a Foreign Customer, the request shall be deemed denied. No credit approval in respect of a Customer shall be effective
(a) unless in writing and (b) unless the initial utilization of the purchased telecommunications network capacity occurs within the time specified in Factor’s written credit approval or, if no time is so specified, within one hundred
and twenty (120) days after the approval is given. No credit line in respect of a Customer shall be effective unless in writing and unless utilization of the purchased telecommunications network capacity occurs while the credit line is in
effect. After the Customer has utilized the purchased telecommunications network capacity, Factor shall then have the Credit Risk (but not the risk of non-payment for any other reason except as otherwise provided in the Export Receivable Rider), to
the extent of the dollar amount specified in the credit approval, on all Purchased Accounts evidenced by invoices which arise from purchases approved by Factor in writing except for those Purchased Accounts evidenced by invoices less than One
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00). Factor shall have neither the Credit Risk nor the risk of non-payment for any other reason on Purchased Accounts arising from purchases not approved by Factor in writing. Factor may cancel Factor’s credit
approval or withdraw or adjust a credit line at any time before utilization of the purchased telecommunications network capacity based upon Factor’s reasonable insecurity concerning its ability to enforce and collect Accounts Receivable owing
from such Customer. Notwithstanding the above, (i) a credit line may be reduced to the extent of any Customer Credit Balances (as hereinafter in Section 3(d) defined) due to the Customer that are held by Client; (ii) a credit line
shall not be reduced below an amount equal to the sum of (a) the undrawn amount of unexpired letters of credit issued for the account of the Customer that are acceptable to Factor as to form and issuer and that have been issued to Factor as
beneficiary or that have been issued to Client but are the subject of assignments of proceeds in favor of Factor (with issuer consents) that are acceptable to Factor as to form; and (b) cash deposited with Factor to secure the Customer’s
obligations pursuant to Cash Collateral Agreements acceptable to Factor as to form and authorization; and (iii) a credit line or credit approval with respect to a Customer shall be deemed automatically

cancelled upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to such Customer. Accordingly, (i) if Factor cancels or is deemed to have cancelled a
credit line or credit approval in respect of a Customer, then Factor shall not have the Credit Risk on Purchased Accounts arising from telecommunications network capacity utilized by such Customer after the date of such cancellation by Factor; and
(ii) if Factor reduces a credit line in respect of a Customer, then Purchased Accounts on which such Customer is the account debtor arising from telecommunications network capacity utilized after such reduction shall be subject to the credit
line, as reduced. 
  

	 	3.	PURCHASE PRICE OF PURCHASED ACCOUNTS; RESERVES; PAYMENT REQUEST 

  
 (a) The purchase price of Purchased Accounts is the net face amount thereof. The term “net face amount” means the gross
face amount of the invoice, less (i) discounts (which shall be determined by Factor where optional terms are given and which shall include any Anticipation Reductions); (ii) any other deductions taken by Customers in accordance with the
payment terms of the Purchased Account as submitted to Factor pursuant to Section 2 hereof; (iii) credits issued by Client, (iv) allowances granted by Client to Customers of any nature; (v) *****; and (vi) such portion of
the gross face amount of the invoice (the “Tax Component”) representing a value added tax or other tax which is payable by the Customer to Client and is to be remitted by Client to the taxing authority, except that the Tax Component
is to be deducted by Factor in computing the purchase price of a Purchased Account only if Client is not obligated to remit the Tax Component to the taxing authority or is entitled to a credit from the taxing authority for the Tax Component by
reason of the fact that Client did not collect the Purchased Account directly from the Customer but obtained payment from a third party as a result of the Customer’s financial inability to pay. The gross face amount of each invoice (the
“Gross Face Amount”) is the amount due to Client from its Customer for purchased telecommunications network capacity utilized during the billing period covered by the invoice, net of amounts due to the Customer for
telecommunications network capacity sold by the Customer through Client and utilized during the same billing period. Anything to the contrary in this Section 3(a) or elsewhere herein notwithstanding, in the event that Credit Losses are incurred with
respect to any Approved Accounts that are Non-British Foreign Accounts, the purchase price of such Accounts payable by Factor hereunder shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the net face amount thereof (less any other
amount rightfully deducted by Factor hereunder in determining the related loss payments). 
  
 (b) As a general matter, Factor’s services will be provided on a non-notification basis and Factor will not communicate with
Client’s Customers, except with Client’s consent or as Factor may otherwise elect to proceed, as more fully described below. 
  
 (c) If any Purchased Account on which Factor has the Credit Risk remains wholly unpaid solely and exclusively because of the
Customer’s financial inability to make payment on the Purchased Account for ***** or more after the original due date of such Purchased Account, Client may deliver to Factor a Payment Request, which Payment Request must be submitted to Factor
not later than ***** after the original invoice date of such Purchased Account. Factor shall credit the purchase price for each Purchased Account, *****, on which Factor has the Credit Risk, and for which Client has submitted a Payment Request in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this agreement, on the Settlement Date, if on such date the Customer’s failure to pay is due solely and exclusively to financial inability, as reasonably determined by Factor. Without limiting any of
Factor’s rights set forth herein and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Factor shall have no obligation to pay to Client the purchase price on any Purchased Account for which a Payment Request has been submitted unless
Client shall execute and deliver to Factor (i) all Purchased Account Transfer Documentation (as defined herein) requested by Factor with respect to the Purchased Account; and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Factor that Client’s title to
the Purchased Account as well as Client’s title to all other payment obligations, however arising, due to Client from the Customer obligated on such Purchased Account, is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except in favor of Lender.

  
 (d) The purchase price of Purchased Accounts
upon which Factor did not assume or no longer has the Credit Risk shall be payable only upon actual collection of the Purchased Account and then only to the extent of the amounts collected; provided, however, that if Factor collects amounts
in excess of the purchase price of Purchased Accounts that the Customer has identified as applicable to such Purchased Account, such excess shall be posted to Client’s account. In computing the amount payable by Factor as the purchase price of
Purchased Accounts, (i) Factor shall be credited with any amounts received or collected by Client in respect of any Purchased Accounts from or for the account of the Customer obligated thereon (excluding Customer Credit Balances, as hereinafter
defined, but including cash collateral deposits and payments on letters of credit), and (ii) payments or collections made by or for the account of a Customer (including cash collateral deposits and payments on letters of credit but excluding
Customer Credit Balances) shall first be applied to Approved Accounts due from such Customer before being applied to any other obligations of such Customer to Client. In furtherance of the foregoing, any collateral security obtained by Client from a
Customer for the purpose of securing such Customer’s obligations on Purchased Accounts, including cash collateral and letters of credit, shall, concurrently with the delivery by Client to Factor of a Payment Request with respect to such
Purchased Account, be disclosed to, assigned and delivered to Factor except that Client may retain possession of collateral security consisting of credits due Customers from Client resulting from overpayments on Purchased Accounts (“Customer
Credit Balances”) so long as Client reports to Factor the amount of such Customer Credit Balances on Client’s books at the end of each bi-monthly billing cycle.

	***	Portion for which confidential treatment requested. 

 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding Section 3(d), if
Factor withdraws its approval from any Approved Account, and the related Customer thereafter converts from a buy position to a sell position on Client’s exchange, all amounts credited to such Customer in connection with such sell position
shall, after the retention therefrom by Client of any usual and customary fees payable to Client in connection therewith, be applied to the then outstanding Obligations until all outstanding Obligations (including, without limitation, reasonable
collection expenses) have been satisfied in full. The balance, if any, of such amounts shall be credited to Client. 
  

	 	4.	INTEREST; COMMISSIONS; FEES 

  
 (a) All amounts that Factor may, in its sole discretion, pay or advance to Client or for Client’s account in excess of the purchase
price of Purchased Accounts shall be chargeable to Client’s account when paid to Client. 
  
 (b) For Factor’s services, Factor shall charge to Client’s account: 
  
 (i) monthly, as of the last day of each month, interest on
the average daily balance of all Obligations which are outstanding during such month at the Borrowing Rate; provided, however, that said interest rate shall not be less than four and one half percent (4  1/2%) per annum and shall in no event be higher than the highest rate permitted by New York law. Interest shall be
calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall begin to accrue on (a) commissions payable to Factor hereunder commencing on the date such commissions are payable
pursuant to this Section and (b) other Obligations, five (5) business days after Factor’s demand for payment thereof; and 
  
 (ii) all actual charges incurred by Factor for wire transfers. 
  
 (c) For Factor’s services, Client shall pay to Factor within fifteen (15) business days after the
end of each of Client’s semi-monthly billing cycles the greater of (i) 1/24th of the Minimum Annual
Commission (as defined herein); or (ii) the accrued commission for such semi-monthly billing cycle at the rate of ***** of the Gross Face Amount of each invoice arising in such semi-monthly period evidencing a Purchased Account that is an
Approved Account due from a Domestic Customer, a Customer existing under the laws of Canada or any Province thereof or a European Customer, and ***** of the Gross Face Amount of each invoice arising in such semi-monthly period evidencing a Purchased
Account that is an Approved Account due from a Non-European Foreign Customer, in either case on terms not exceeding 15 days ; provided, that, with Factor’s prior written approval, granted in Factor’s sole discretion, terms for
specific Customers may be extended to up to 30 days (such maximum terms of 15 days or 30 days, as applicable, being hereinafter referred to as the “Maximum Invoice Days”), plus an additional ***** for each additional 30 days or
portion thereof of selling terms; provided, however, that if Client changes the terms of any invoice, whether or not Factor consents to such change (it being understood that nothing in this provision diminishes Factor’s rights or
Client’s obligations under any other provision hereof), then the commission on the Gross Face Amount of that invoice shall be the commission hereinabove set forth plus ***** for each thirty (30) days or portion thereof of such change. The
aggregate amount of commissions that Client is obligated to pay to Factor with respect to Purchased Accounts shall not be less than a minimum annual commission (the “Minimum Annual Commission”) of $350,000 for each Contract Year
that this agreement is in effect, beginning with the Contract Year commenced May 1, 2005. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Client shall be responsible for, and Factor shall charge to Client’s
account from time to time in each Contract Year, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the first $50,000 in aggregate Credit Losses in such Contract Year arising from Accounts owing by Domestic Customers. 
  
 (e) Without limiting anything contained in
Section 13(a) hereof, Client shall not be obligated to pay any facility fee in connection with this amendment and restatement of this Factoring Agreement. 
  

	 	5.	MATURED FUNDS 

  
 In the event that any amounts payable by Factor to Client hereunder (as confirmed by Factor’s appropriate credit to Client’s account) are not
drawn by Client on a Settlement Date (“Undrawn Amounts”), Factor shall, on the last day of the month in which such Settlement Date occurs, credit Client’s account with interest at the Matured Funds Rate in effect during such
month on the average daily balance of Undrawn Amounts held during such month by Factor after the relevant Settlement Date.

	 	6.	CHARGES; BALANCES 

  
 Factor may charge all Obligations to Client’s account. Unless otherwise specified, Obligations consisting of commissions shall be payable on the
dates specified in Section 4(c) hereof and other Obligations shall be payable five (5) business days after Factor’s demand for payment thereof. Recourse to security will not be required at any time. All credit balances or other sums
at any time standing to Client’s credit and all Reserves on Factor’s books, and all of Client’s property in Factor’s possession at any time or in the possession of any parent, affiliate or subsidiary of Factor or on or in which
Factor or any of them have a lien or security interest, may be held and reserved by Factor as security for all Obligations. Factor will account to Client monthly and each monthly accounting statement will be fully binding on Client and will
constitute an account stated, unless, within forty five (45) days after such statement is mailed to Client or within thirty (30) days after the mailing of any adjustment thereof Factor may make, Client gives Factor specific written notice
of exceptions. Client recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of the Purchased Accounts and the other Collateral may not be received by Factor in good and available
funds on the date delivered. In consideration of Factor’s agreement to conditionally credit Client’s account as of the business day on which Factor receives those items of payment, Client agrees that, in computing the charges under this
agreement, all items of payment shall be deemed applied by Factor on the business day of confirmation to Factor that such items of payment have been collected in good and available funds and finally credited to Factor’s account. 
  

	 	7.	REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 

  
 Client hereby represents, warrants and covenants that: 
  
 (a) As of the Effective Date, Client has good title to the Collateral, including without limitation, the Purchased Accounts, free of any
encumbrance except in Factor’s favor or in favor of Lender, and each Purchased Account is a bona fide, enforceable obligation arising in the ordinary course of Client’s business. With respect to each Purchased Account,
(i) Client’s Customer is unconditionally obligated to pay at maturity the full amount thereof without defense, counterclaim or offset (regardless of merit), and all documents in connection therewith are genuine; (ii) ***** and
(iii) Client has applied all of such Customer payments to Purchased Accounts and to other payment obligations of Customers consistently with application instructions issued by Customers with respect to such payments. 
  
 (b) Client’s exact legal name is as set forth on the
signature page of this agreement. Client shall not change its legal name unless Factor shall have received not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of such proposed change. Client has not, during the past five years, been known by or
used any Trade Names or been a party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any entity, or acquired any of its property or assets out of the ordinary course of business, except as set forth on
Schedule 7(b). 
  
 (c) Client is an
organization of the type and organized in the jurisdiction set forth on Schedule 7(c). Schedule 7(c) accurately sets forth Client’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Client has none and accurately sets
forth Client’s federal employer identification number. Client shall not change Client’s organizational identification number (or if Client does not have an organizational identification number, Client shall not acquire one), or change
Client’s type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other legal structure unless Factor shall have received not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of such proposed change. 
  
 (d) Client’s chief executive office and mailing address
and Client’s Records concerning Accounts are located only at the address identified as such on Schedule 7(d), and Client’s only other places of business and the only other locations of Collateral, if any, are the addresses set forth
on Schedule 7(d). Schedule 7(d) correctly identifies any of such locations which are not owned by Client and sets forth the owners and/or operators thereof. Client shall not change its chief executive office, mailing address or any
location of Collateral unless Factor shall have received not less than forty-five (45) days prior written notice of such proposed change. 
  
 (e) Client shall furnish to Factor (i) within seven (7) business days after the last business day of each of Client’s
semi-monthly billing periods, a detailed sales register and a detailed aged trial balance of all Purchased Accounts as of the end of such semi-monthly billing period, certified by Client’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief
Administrative Officer, Controller, Treasurer or Vice President of Finance or Vice President of Business Systems; and (ii) when requested by Factor after reasonable notice, a confirmation of the assignment to Factor of any Approved Accounts
outstanding at the time of such request and of any other Purchased Accounts due from the Customers, respectively, owing such Approved Accounts. In addition, Client shall, at Client’s expense, promptly furnish Factor with such other financial
and operational information as may be reasonably requested by Factor from time to time. After reasonable notice, Factor shall have full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from Client’s Records,
audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of Client’s business. Factor and its agents may enter upon Client’s premises at any time during business hours after reasonable notice, and from time
to time, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all Records pertaining thereto and the operation of

	***	Portion for which confidential treatment requested. 

 
Client’s business. Factor shall give Client reasonable notice prior to conducting any inspections, audits or examinations. On the first day of each
month following any month in which Factor performs any collection audit, Client shall pay to Factor a fee equal to Factor’s then effective standard rate per day, per person, employed or retained by Factor to perform such audits, it being
acknowledged that as of the Effective Date, Factor’s standard rate is $750 per day, per person, plus all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Factor or its representatives in the performance of such audits . Factor agrees that during the term
hereof, Factor’s standard rate per day, per person, shall remain $750. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, Factor shall conduct no more than one collection audit of Client’s Records during each Contract Year; provided,
however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and thereafter until the cure thereof to the satisfaction of Factor, there shall not be any limitation on the number of collection audits that Factor shall be entitled to conduct at
Client’s expense. 
  
 (f) Client shall
notify Factor in writing of ***** within fifteen (15) days after ***** and, within two (2) business days following such notification, provide to Factor copies of all communications between Client and the relevant Customer with regard
*****. Client will settle ***** no cost or expense to Factor; Factor’s practice is to allow Client a reasonable time to do so. Should Factor so elect at any time following a Credit Deterioration affecting a Customer owing Approved Accounts,
Factor may (i) withdraw Client’s authority to issue credits to such Customer without Factor’s prior written consent; or (ii) *****. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, no credits, allowances or adjustments of
any kind concerning any Approved Account or other Purchased Accounts due from Customers owing Approved Accounts may be made by Client without Factor’s prior written approval after Factor has (x) credited Client’s account with the
purchase price for such Purchased Account; (y) withdrawn any credit approval with respect thereto; or (z) following a Credit Deterioration affecting a Customer, elected to communicate with the Customer with respect thereto or to collect
such Purchased Account directly. Factor shall have no obligation to take any steps to collect Purchased Accounts on which Factor did not assume or no longer has the Credit Risk and accordingly Factor may, at its option, upon payment of all
outstanding Approved Accounts due from a Customer, reassign to Client any remaining Purchased Accounts due from such Customer. 
  
 (g) Factor’s Credit Risk, if any, on a Purchased Account shall immediately terminate without any action on Factor’s part in the
event that (i) there is *****; (ii) any representation or warranty made by Client to Factor herein or in any other document with respect to such Purchased Account proves to have been false in any material respect when made or any covenant
or agreement made by Client to Factor in this agreement or elsewhere as to the Purchased Account is breached; (iii) Client grants more extended terms or additional dating beyond the Maximum Invoice Days on the Purchased Account, or makes any
other change to the payment terms of the Purchased Account, without Factor’s prior written approval; (iv) Client has failed to comply, with respect to such Purchased Account, with Collection Procedures Guidelines provided by Factor to
Client; or (v) Client fails to provide to Factor the reports, information or documentation required to be provided hereunder with respect to the Purchased Account (whether or not such reports, information or documentation are requested by
Factor before or after the effective date of termination of this Agreement) *****. In addition, Factor’s Credit Risk, if any, on all Purchased Accounts shall terminate without any action on Factor’s part if Client fails to pay commissions
within thirty (30) days of the end of each of Client’s semi-monthly billing cycles, as specified in Section 4(c) or fails to pay any other Obligations within five (5) business days after Factor’s demand therefor. Client
shall repay to Factor, within five(5) business days after Factor’s demand therefor, *****, together with interest thereon from the Settlement Date of such Purchased Account to the date of chargeback, and such action on Factor’s part shall
not be deemed a reassignment of such Purchased Account and will not impair Factor’s rights thereto or security interest therein, which will continue to be effective until this agreement is terminated and all Obligations are fully satisfied.

  
 (h) Client is and shall remain in compliance
with all laws, regulations and rules applicable to Client’s business of providing a trading exchange for telephone network capacity, including all laws, rules and regulations of the United States and state and local governmental units relating
to telecommunications services and all laws, rules and regulations of foreign jurisdictions in which Foreign Customers obligated on Purchased Accounts are located. 
  
 (i) Client shall take all other actions requested by Factor from time to time to cause the attachment,
perfection and priority of, and Factor’s ability to enforce, Factor’s security interest in any and all of the Collateral, subject only to the prior security interest of Lender. Client irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes Factor (or
Factor’s agent) to file, and ratifies the filing at any time and from time to time of, such financing statements with respect to the Collateral naming Factor or Factor’s designee as the secured party and Client as debtor, as Factor may
require, and including any other information with respect to Client or otherwise required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdictions as Factor may determine, and setting forth a notice that any disposition of any of
the Collateral by Client without Factor’s prior written consent violates the rights of Factor, together with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto, which authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on, prior to or
after the date hereof. Client agrees that the foregoing authorizations shall be irrevocable while this agreement remains in effect and thereafter until Factor has received indefeasible final payment and satisfaction in full in immediately available
funds of all Obligations. In no event shall Client at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto) naming
Factor or Factor’s designee as secured party and Client as debtor.

	***	Portion for which confidential treatment requested. 

 (j) Upon Factor’s reasonable request, Client shall, at Client’s expense, duly
execute and deliver, or shall cause to be duly executed and delivered, to Factor such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or proper in the opinion of Factor to effectuate the provisions and purposes
of this agreement. 
  
 (k) Client shall maintain
at its chief executive office, or at its Herndon, Virginia facility, all sales contracts and other documentation relating to the Purchased Accounts, and Client shall provide Factor with access to and use of such original documentation upon
Factor’s request from time to time, promptly after reasonable notice. 
  

	 	8.	INVOICING; NON-NOTIFICATION; ELECTION TO PROCEED; APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS 

  
 (a) With respect to each invoice of Client evidencing Purchased Accounts due from Customers owing Approved
Accounts, upon Factor’s request, Client shall either (i) furnish Factor with a legible duplicate original of the invoice accompanied by a written acknowledgment that such Accounts have been assigned to Factor, or (ii) electronically
transmit to Factor the invoice details and an assignment schedule using a transmission format acceptable to Factor. Client’s failure to furnish such specific assignments shall not diminish Factor’s rights. Client shall procure and hold in
trust for Factor and furnish to Factor at Factor’s request satisfactory evidence of each rendition of services. For invoices electronically transmitted to Factor, Client shall also (A) retain and furnish Factor at Factor’s request
legible copies of sales schedules and registers, as well as duplicate originals of the invoices, and (B) reproduce for Factor at Factor’s request any and all such electronic transmissions. Each invoice shall bear the terms of each
Customer’s purchase, as submitted to Factor, whether or not the purchase has been approved by Factor. Each payment made by a Customer shall first be applied to Approved Accounts, if any, on which Factor has the Credit Risk, and the balance, if
any, of such payment shall be applied to other Purchased Accounts due from such Customer. Client understands that Factor shall not be liable for any selling expenses, orders, purchases, contracts or taxes of any kind resulting from any of
Client’s transactions, and Client agrees to indemnify Factor and hold Factor harmless with respect thereto, which indemnity shall survive termination of this agreement. Client warrants and represents to Factor that there are no taxes payable as
an incident of Customers’ purchases of telephone network capacity except as noted on Schedule 8(a) and that Client will at all times promptly pay such taxes when due and file all tax returns relating to such taxes in a timely manner.

  
 (b) Upon submission in accordance with the
terms hereof of any Payment Request with respect to a Purchased Account, or if Factor otherwise elects in its sole discretion to enforce its rights and remedies with respect to any Purchased Account following the occurrence of a Credit Deterioration
or after a Purchased Account due from a Customer owing Approved Accounts becomes more than 30 days past due, only Factor, and not Client, may prospectively and directly seek to collect and enforce any such Purchased Accounts. Whether or not Client
makes a Payment Request, Factor may, in its sole discretion, following the occurrence of a Credit Deterioration, or after Factor is notified of or becomes aware of *****, or after a Purchased Account due from a Customer owing Approved Accounts
becomes more than 30 days past due have the right to communicate directly with Customers obligated on Approved Accounts (including notifying the Customer that the Purchased Account has been assigned to Factor) and institute direct collection efforts
with respect to all Purchased Accounts due from such Customer and to otherwise deal directly with any such Customer. 
  

	 	9.	TERMINATION 

  
 (a) This agreement shall remain in full force and effect until terminated as follows: 
  
 (i) Factor may terminate this agreement at any time upon one
hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice to Client; or 
  
 (ii) Client may terminate this agreement upon written notice to Factor upon one hundred and twenty (120) days prior written notice, effective as of April 30, 2007 or any anniversary thereof; or 

 
 (iii) If Client shall suspend its business, sell all or a
significant portion of its assets, become insolvent or shall be unable to pay its outstanding debts to creditors generally as they mature, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for an extension from creditors; or if a meeting of
Client’s creditors is called; or if a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for Client or Client’s property; or if Client’s property shall become subject to any lien or attachment except attachments that are bonded or discharged
within 30 days after they first arise; or if a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code shall be filed by or against Client; or if Client shall seek relief under any insolvency statute, federal, state or other; or if a custodian shall be
appointed for all or substantially all of Client’s property; or if Client shall breach this agreement or any other agreement between Factor and Client or between Client and any affiliate of Factor; or if Client shall fail to pay any Obligation
when due; or if Client shall fail to file with the SEC any annual, quarterly or periodic report on or prior to the last date by which such report is required to be filed under applicable law or regulation (as such date may have been extended in
accordance with applicable SEC regulations) and such failure continues uncured for more than ten (10) business days; or if Client shall default in the payment or performance of any obligation to Lender or any other institutional lender to, or
factor of, Client and, as a result of such default (and, if applicable, Client’s failure to cure such 

  

 6 
  

	***	Portion for which confidential treatment requested. 

 
default within any applicable grace period), Lender or such other institutional lender or factor, is entitled to accelerate the maturity of Client’s
payment obligations to Lender or such other lender or factor; or if Client shall fail to pay any other material indebtedness; or if any guaranty of the Obligations shall be terminated; or if ownership or control of fifty percent (50%) or more
of Client’s aggregate outstanding stock, stock equivalents or any other equity changes after the Effective Date; then, in any of such events, Factor may terminate this agreement at any time without notice. Anything in this subparagraph
(iii) to the contrary notwithstanding, the failure of Client to timely notify Factor of ***** shall not entitle Factor to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9(a)(iii) (and shall not constitute an Event of Default for purposes
hereof) unless at least ten percent (10%) of such Purchased Account is subject ***** 
  
 (b) On the effective date of termination, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable in full without further notice or
demand. Factor’s rights with respect to Obligations owing to Factor, or chargeable to Client’s account, arising out of transactions having their inception prior to the effective date of termination, will not be affected by termination.
Without limiting the foregoing, all of Factor’s security interests and other rights in and to all Collateral shall continue to be operative until such Obligations have been fully and finally satisfied or Client has given Factor an indemnity
satisfactory to Factor. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, if this agreement is terminated by Client prior to April 30, 2007 for any reason, or by Factor at any time due to the occurrence of an Event of Default, then upon the effective date of termination and
as Factor’s liquidated damages, Client shall be charged an early termination fee equal to $100,000. Such early termination fee shall be conclusively presumed to be the amount of Factor’s damages sustained by reason of the early
termination, which fee Client agrees is fair and proper; provided, however, that nothing contained herein is intended to limit Client’s remedies for Factor’s breach of this agreement that are available under applicable law and

acceptable to Factor.

 (c) Client irrevocably agrees (i) that all actions
and proceedings arising out of or relating directly or indirectly to this agreement or any ancillary agreement or any other obligations shall be litigated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, at Factor’s
option, in any other courts located in New York or elsewhere as Factor may select, (ii) that such courts are convenient forums, and (iii) that Client submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. Client hereby consents to the
service of process therein by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, directed to Client at Client’s address set forth above, and Client agrees that service so made shall be deemed complete five (5) days after the date of
mailing. 
  
 (d) TO THE EXTENT LEGALLY
PERMISSIBLE, BOTH CLIENT AND FACTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO TRANSACTIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. 
  

	 	11.	REMEDIES; WAIVERS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

  
 (a) Factor’s rights and remedies under this agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy Factor may

deficiency. 
  
 (b) Factor shall have the right,
in Factor’s sole discretion, to determine which rights, liens, security interests or remedies Factor may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action and incur any costs or expenses with respect thereto and
such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Factor’s rights hereunder. Failure by Factor to exercise any right, remedy or option under this agreement or delay by Factor in exercising the same will not operate as a waiver; no
waiver by Factor will be effective unless Factor confirms it in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. 
  
 (c) Factor shall have no liability hereunder (i) for any losses or damages (including, without limitation, incidental, special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages) resulting from Factor’s refusal to assume, or delay in assuming, the

(ii) for indirect, special or consequential damages arising from accounting errors with respect to Client’s account with Factor except that nothing contained herein is intended to limit Client’s remedies for Factor’s breach of
this agreement that are available under applicable law. Factor’s liability for any default by Factor hereunder shall be limited to a refund to Client of any commission paid by Client during the period starting on the occurrence of the default
and ending when it is cured or waived, or when this agreement is terminated, whichever is earlier. Except as prohibited by law, Client waives any right which it may have to claim or recover in any litigation with Factor any incidental, special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. Client: (A) certifies that neither Factor nor any representative, agent or attorney acting for or on behalf of Factor has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that Factor would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this agreement or any of the Other Documents and (B) acknowledges that in entering into this agreement and the Other
Documents, Factor is relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications set forth in this Section 11(c) and elsewhere herein and in the Other Documents.

 Except to the
extent inconsistent with the terms of this Rider, which terms shall control any such inconsistencies, your and our mutual rights and obligations with respect to Foreign Receivables shall be governed in all respects by the Factoring Agreement.
Accordingly, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Factoring Agreement shall determine the time at which, and the circumstances under which, our Credit Risk (as hereinafter defined), if any, on Foreign Receivables shall terminate

payment in *****. 
  
 C. A general moratorium

The Russian Federation and the United States of America or a war, declared or not, between the United States or Canada and the country of the Customer; (ii) your failure or the failure of your agents or the Customer to comply with local laws

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 UNIVERSAL HOSPITAL SERVICES, INC. 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 (Nonqualified Stock Option) 
  
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Option Agreement”)
entered into as of November 1, 2005, by and between Universal Hospital Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and              (the
“Optionee”). 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company has
decided to grant the Optionee a non-qualified stock option to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Shares”), in accordance with the Universal Hospital Services, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan
(the “Plan”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, the
Optionee desires to accept such option subject to the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and the Optionee,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1.
Grant of Option. As of November 1, 2005 (the “Grant Date”), the Company grants to the Optionee a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase all (or any part) of
             Shares on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. This Option is not intended to be treated as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
  
 2. Exercise Price. The exercise price (“Exercise Price”) for the Shares covered by the Option shall be $ 1.33 per share. 
  

3. Exercisability. 
  
 (a) Fixed Vesting Options. This Option shall become exercisable with respect to
             Shares upon each of November 1, 2006, November 1, 2007, November 1, 2008, and November 1, 2009. All Options subject to vesting pursuant to
this Section 3(a) (the “Fixed Vesting Options”) shall become exercisable upon a Change in Control (as defined in Section 14(b)) if the Optionee continues to be an employee (or a director or consultant, as applicable) of
the Company or any Subsidiary at such time, to the extent not then exercisable. 
  
 (b) Target Vesting Options. This Option shall become exercisable with respect to up to              Shares (the “Annual Eligible
Shares”) following the completion of each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 upon and to the extent of the Company’s attainment of the Targets set forth on Schedule I attached hereto and
incorporated herein (“Schedule I”) in accordance with the other terms specified in Schedule I. As a point of clarification, if all of the Targets set forth on Schedule I attached hereto are met or exceeded, Options to purchase an
aggregate of              Shares shall become exercisable following the completion of the applicable Target time periods pursuant to this subsection 3(b). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, provided that (i) Optionee shall continue to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or a Subsidiary, and (ii) the Company shall not have 

  

 1 

 
(A) merged or consolidated with another corporation or other entity, whether or not the Company is the surviving entity, or (B) liquidated or sold
or otherwise disposed of all or substantially all of its assets to another entity, or (C) been subject to a Change in Control, then this Option shall become exercisable with respect to all of the Shares subject to vesting pursuant to this
Section 3(b) (the “Target Vesting Options”) on the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Grant
Date. 
  
 4. Term of Options. 
  
 (a) Each Option shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date,
unless terminated earlier pursuant to subsections 4(b) and 4(c) below. 
  
 (b) If the Optionee is terminated from his or her employment/consultancy for Cause (as defined in Section 14) or voluntarily terminates his employment/consultancy with the Company at any time without Good Reason (as defined
Section 14) or, if the Optionee is a director, the Optionee is removed as a director for Cause (as defined in Section 14), the Option shall terminate on the date of such termination of employment, whether or not then fully exercisable.

  
 (c) If the Optionee dies, is Disabled (as defined in
Section 14) while an employee/consultant/director, or is terminated without Cause, or terminates for Good Reason, or, if the Option is a director, is removed without Cause or otherwise resigns as a director, any portion of the Option that is
not then fully exercisable shall terminate immediately; provided, however, that the Board of Directors or committee appointed by the Board of Directors for purposes of administration and operation of the Plan (the “Committee”) shall
have the discretion to vest any Options that are not exercisable. Any portion of the Option that is then exercisable shall terminate on the 90th day following such termination of employment. 
  
 5. Manner of Exercise of Option. 
  
 (a) The Optionee may exercise the Option or portion thereof by giving
written notice to the Company stating the number of Shares (which shall not be less than 100, unless the total Shares purchased constitute the total number of Shares remaining subject to the Option) to be purchased and accompanied by payment in full
of the Exercise Price for such Shares. Payment shall be in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Company by a certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the Company, or at any time Shares are
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by means of a “cashless exercise” approved by the Committee, in which a broker: (i) transmits the Exercise Price for any Shares to the Company in
cash or acceptable cash equivalents, either (A) against the Optionee’s notice of exercise and the Company’s confirmation that it will deliver to the broker stock certificates issued in the name of the broker for at least that number
of Shares having a fair market value equal to the Exercise Price therefor, or (B) as the proceeds of a margin loan to the Optionee; or (ii) agrees to pay the Exercise Price therefor to the Company in cash or acceptable cash equivalents
upon the broker’s receipt from the Company of stock certificates issued in the name of the broker for at least that number of Shares having a fair market value equal to the Exercise Price therefor. The Optionee’s written notice of exercise
of the Option pursuant to a “cashless exercise” procedure must include the name and address of the broker involved, a clear description of the procedure, and such other information or undertaking by the broker as the Committee shall
reasonably require. Upon such purchase, delivery of a certificate for paid-up, non-assessable Shares shall be made at the principal office of the Company to the Optionee (or the person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to Section 7), not
more than 10 days from the date of receipt of the notice by the Company. 
  

 2 

 (b) Notwithstanding Section 5(a) of this Option Agreement, the Company may delay the issuance of
Shares covered by the Option and the delivery of a certificate for such Shares until one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the Shares purchased pursuant to the Option are at the time of the issuance of such Shares effectively
registered or qualified under applicable federal and state securities laws or (ii) such Shares are exempt from registration and qualification under applicable federal and state securities laws. 
  
 6. Administration. This Option Agreement shall be administered by the
Committee pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall be authorized to interpret this Option Agreement and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Option Agreement. The determinations of the Committee in
the administration of this Option Agreement, as described herein, shall be final and conclusive. Each of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Senior Vice President, Human Resources of the Company shall be authorized to
implement this Option Agreement in accordance with its terms and to take such actions of a ministerial nature as shall be necessary to effectuate the intent and purposes thereof. 
  
 7. Non-Transferability. Subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below), the right of the
Optionee to exercise the Option shall not be assignable or transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Shares may be purchased during the lifetime of the Optionee only by him (or his legal
representative in the event that the Optionee is Disabled). Any other such transfer shall be null and void and without effect upon any attempted assignment or transfer, except as hereinabove provided, including without limitation any purported
assignment, whether voluntary or by operation of law, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition contrary to the provisions hereof, or levy of execution, attachment, trustee process or similar process, whether legal or equitable, upon the Option.

  
 8. Representation Letter and Investment Legend.

  
 (a) In the event that for any reason the Shares to be issued
upon exercise of an exercisable Option shall not be effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), upon any date on which the Option is exercised, the Optionee (or the person exercising the
Option pursuant to Section 7) shall give a written representation to the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the Company shall place the legend described on Exhibit A, upon any certificate for the Shares issued by reason
of such exercise. 
  
 (b) The Company shall be under no obligation
to qualify Shares or to cause a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to any registration statement to be prepared for the purposes of covering the issue of Shares; provided, that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to
comply with any available exemption from registration and qualification of the Shares under applicable federal and state securities laws. 
  

 3 

 9. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization. 
  
 (a) In the event that the outstanding Shares are changed into or exchanged
for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another corporation by reason of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares, or dividends
payable in capital stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares, and the Exercise Price therefor, as to which the Option, to the extent not theretofore exercised, shall be exercisable. 
  
 (b) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, in
the case of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) of the Company, the purchaser(s) of the Company’s assets or stock may, in his, her or its discretion, deliver to the Optionee, to the extent that the Option has become exercisable, the
same kind of consideration (net of the Exercise Price for such Shares) that is delivered to the stockholders of the Company as a result of the Change in Control, or the Committee may, in its sole determination, cancel the Option, to the extent not
theretofore exercised, in exchange for consideration in cash or in kind, which consideration in either case shall be equal in value to the value of those shares of stock or other consideration the Optionee would have received had the Option been
exercised (to the extent the Option has become exercisable but not been exercised) and no disposition of the Shares acquired upon such exercise been made prior to the Change in Control, less the Exercise Price therefor. Upon receipt of such
consideration by the Optionee, the Option shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, with respect to both exercisable and unexercisable portions thereof. The value of the stock or other securities the Optionee would have
received if the Option had been exercised shall be determined in good faith by the Committee. 
  
 (c) Upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Option shall terminate, but the Optionee (if at such time an Employee or consultant) shall have the right, immediately prior to filing of a certificate of
dissolution or liquidation, to exercise any then exercisable Options. 
  
 (d) No fraction of a Share shall be purchasable or deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, but in the event any adjustment hereunder of the number of shares covered by the Option shall cause such number to include a fraction of a
share, such fraction shall be adjusted to the nearest smaller whole number of shares. 
  
 10. No Employment Rights Conferred. Nothing contained in this Option Agreement shall be construed or deemed by any person under any circumstances to bind the Company or any of its subsidiaries to continue the
employment of the Optionee for the period within which this Option may be exercisable or for any other period. 
  
 11. Rights as a Stockholder. The Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares which may be purchased upon the
exercisability of this Option unless and until a certificate or certificates representing such Shares are duly issued and delivered to the Optionee. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued. 
  
 12. Withholding Taxes. The Optionee hereby agrees, as a condition to any exercise of the Option, to provide to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its obligation to withhold federal, state and local
taxes arising by reason of such exercise (the “Withholding Amount”), if 

  

 4 

 
any, by (a) authorizing the Company to withhold the Withholding Amount from his cash compensation, or (b) remitting the Withholding Amount to the
Company in cash; provided that, to the extent that the Withholding Amount is not provided by one or a combination of such methods, the Company may at its election withhold from the Shares delivered upon exercise of the Option that number of Shares
having a fair market value (in the good faith judgment of the Committee) equal to the Withholding Amount. 
  
 13. Execution of Stockholders Agreement. The Optionee acknowledges that he has previously executed and delivered the stockholders agreement by and
among the Company and the stockholders of the Company named therein (the “Stockholders Agreement”). The Optionee further agrees that this Option Agreement, the Option and all Shares acquired by him upon exercise of the Option will
be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement, as the same may be amended or modified in accordance with its terms.

 SCHEDULE I 
  

TARGET VESTING SCHEDULE 
  
 (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in (b) and (f) below, for each of the Target Periods specified below, if the Company’s EBITDA (as
defined below) in any such Target Period is equal to or greater than the Base EBITDA Target for such Target Period as specified below, the Target Vesting Options will vest and be exercisable with respect to the Annual Eligible Shares. If the
Company’s EBITDA for any Target Period exceeds 90% of the Base EBITDA Target for such Target Period, then the amount of Target Vesting Options that will vest for each such Target Period will be that percentage of the Annual Eligible Shares
determined according to a linear extrapolation of the amount by which the Company’s EBITDA exceeds 90% of the Base EBITDA Target, such that achievement of 91% of the Base EBITDA Target would result in vesting of 10% of the Annual Eligible
Shares and achievement of 100% or more of the Base EBITDA Target would result in vesting of 100% of Annual Eligible Shares.

	Fiscal 2006	  	20% of Target Vesting Shares	  	$	97,000	  	$	67,100
	Fiscal 2007	  	20% of Target Vesting Shares	  	$	110,000	  	$	77,900
	Fiscal 2008	  	20% of Target Vesting Shares	  	$	125,000	  	$	92,300
	Fiscal 2009	  	20% of Target Vesting Shares	  	$	141,000	  	$	109,000
	Fiscal 2010	  	20% of Target Vesting Shares	  	$	159,000	  	$	126,000

  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,

  
 (i) Excess EBITDA in any Target Period then
ended (i.e., the amount by which EBITDA for such Target Period exceeds the Base EBITDA Target for such Target Period) may be carried back to the prior Target Period to permit vesting of Annual Eligible Shares not previously vested, provided that
(A) cumulative EBITDA for all Target Periods then ended exceeds the 90% of the cumulative Base EBITDA Targets for all Target Periods then ended and (B) the Annual Eligible Shares from the prior Target Period shall vest in a linear
extrapolation of the amount by which the Company’s cumulative EBITDA for all Target Periods then ended exceeds 90% of the cumulative Base EBITDA Targets for such periods, such that achievement of 91% of the cumulative Base EBITDA Targets would
result in vesting of 10% of the Annual Eligible Shares not previously vested and achievement of 100% or more of the cumulative Base EBITDA Targets would result in vesting of 100% of Annual Eligible Shares not previously vested; and 
  
 (ii) if (A) for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2010 (the “Final Target Period”), EBITDA exceeds the Base EBITDA Target for the Final Target Period and (B) the cumulative EBITDA for all five Target Periods exceeds the cumulative Base EBITDA Targets for all five periods, then
the Target Vesting Options shall become exercisable with respect to 100% of the Shares (to the extent not theretofore vested in accordance with this Schedule I). 
  

 SCHEDULE I-1 

 (b) Base EBITDA Targets will be adjusted by the Committee in good faith (i) in the event that the
Company’s capital expenditures for the Target Period exceed the Maximum Capital Expenditures specified for that Target Period (provided that if the Company spends less than the Maximum Capital Expenditures for a Target Period, then such amount
of “under spent” capital expenditures can be applied to the next succeeding Target Period to increase the Maximum Capital Expenditures permitted for such succeeding Target Period) and (ii) in the event the Company acquires or merges
with any other company and such acquisition or merger does not qualify as a Change in Control of the Company, to take into account the additional EBITDA expected to be generated by the recently acquired business for Target Periods ending after the
date of such acquisition or merger. 
  
 (c) In the event a Change
in Control of the Company occurs before the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, and the Optionee is still employed/retained by the Company at such time, any Target Vesting Options subject to vesting for Target Periods ending after
such Change in Control shall become exercisable to the same extent and in the same percentage as the percentage of Target Vesting Options that had previously become exercisable bears to the percentage of Target Vesting Options that were eligible to
become exercisable in all preceding fiscal years (e.g., if 50% of the eligible options had become vested in the Target Periods prior to a Change in Control, then 50% of the unvested options relating to Target Periods after the Change in Control
would become vested). 
  
 (d) In the event that on or prior to
December 31, 2008, J.W. Childs Equity Partners III, L.P. (“Childs”) and its affiliates and Halifax Capital Partners, L.P. each receive a net cash return (after dilution from all options) on their total investment in the Company
resulting in an amount of cash equal to the multiple of their total investment in the Company indicated below, all Target Vesting Options will become exercisable to the extent not then exercisable: 
  

					
	2 1/2 Times	 	Before 12/31/06	 	 
	3 1/4 Times	 	After 01/01/07	 	But before 12/31/07
	4 Times	 	After 01/01/08	 	But before 12/31/08

  
 (e)
“EBITDA” shall mean consolidated earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries, including equity in the earnings from non-consolidated subsidiaries, before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, board fees and expenses,
non-cash stock compensation or option expense and other similar charges, unusual and non-recurring items approved by the board or Committee and the management fees paid to J.W. Childs Associates, L.P. and Halifax Capital Partners, L.P., or any of
their respective affiliates, and after deduction of all operating expenses, minority interest expenses and incentive compensation, all as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, as reflected in
the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. For purposes of calculating EBITDA, in the event that the Company makes an acquisition or disposition of any assets or business, the Committee, in good faith, shall adjust EBITDA for any
fiscal year to include or exclude on a pro forma basis, as applicable, the EBITDA for such assets or business for the period of time the assets or business are not owned by the Company for the fiscal year in which the assets or business are acquired
or sold.

 EXHIBIT A 
  

TO 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

  
 In connection with the purchase by me of
             shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Universal Hospital Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) under the nonqualified
stock option granted to me pursuant to that certain Stock Option Agreement dated November 1, 2005 (the “Option Agreement”), I hereby acknowledge that I have been informed as follows: 
  
 1. The shares of common stock of the Company to be issued to me upon
exercise of said option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and accordingly, must be held indefinitely unless such shares are subsequently registered under the Act, or an exemption from such
registration is available. 
  
 2. Routine sales of securities made
in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Act can be made only after the holding period and in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions provided by that Rule, and with respect to which that Rule is not applicable, registration or
compliance with some other exemption under the Act will be required. 
  
 3. The Company is under no obligation to me to register the shares or to comply with any such exemptions under the Act, other than as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement referenced and defined in paragraph 13 of the Option Agreement
(the “Stockholders Agreement”). 
  
 4. The
availability of Rule 144 is dependent upon adequate current public information with respect to the Company being available and, at the time that I may desire to make a sale pursuant to the Rule, the Company may neither wish nor be able to comply
with such requirement. 
  
 5. The shares of common stock of the
Company to be issued to me upon the exercise of said option are subject to the terms and conditions, including restrictions on transfer, of the Stockholders Agreement. 
  
 In consideration of the issuance of certificates for the shares to me, I hereby represent and warrant that I am acquiring
such shares for my own account for investment, and that I will not sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer such shares in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the same, except as permitted by an applicable exemption
under the Act. In view of this representation and warranty, I agree that there may be affixed to the certificates for the shares to be issued to me, and to all certificates issued hereafter representing such shares (until in the opinion of counsel,
which opinion must be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for the Company, it is no longer necessary or required) a legend as follows: 
  
 “The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
and may not be sold, transferred, 

  

 EXHIBIT A-1 

 
offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration statement as to the securities under the Act or an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the corporation and its counsel that such registration is not required.” 
  
 “The securities represented by this certificate are subject to the terms and conditions, including restrictions on transfer, of a Stockholders Agreement among the Universal Hospital Services, Inc. and its
stockholders dated as of October 17, 2003, as amended from time to time, a copy of which is on file at the principal office of the corporation.” 
  
 I further agree that the Company may place a stop order with its transfer agent, prohibiting the transfer of such shares, so long as the legend remains on
the certificates representing the shares. 
  
 I hereby represent
and warrant that: My financial situation is such that I can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the shares issued to me upon exercise of said option for an indefinite period of time, I have no need for liquidity with respect to my investment
and have adequate means to provide for my current needs and personal contingencies, and can afford to suffer the complete loss of my investment in such shares. 
  

(a) I am either (please check one of the following): 
  

					
	1.	  	______	  	an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Act, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Annex I, and I, either alone or with my purchaser
representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act), have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of my investment in the shares issued to me upon exercise
of said option. I have indicated the appropriate categories that apply to me in Annex I hereto.
			
	2.	  	______	  	not an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Act, as I do not fulfill any of the categories set forth in Annex I, but I have such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of my investment in the shares issued to me upon exercise of said option.

  
 (b) I have been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Company and its representatives concerning the shares issued to me upon exercise of said option and to obtain any additional information I have deemed necessary.

  
 (c) I have a high degree of familiarity with the business,
operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company. 
  

	
	 Very truly yours,
