Luis Potosi, Mexico and Cali, Columbia, in each case, based on the actual run-rate
performance for the third quarter of 2010;

ordinary
course of business; and

 

 

     (3) to the extent not otherwise included, the obligations of the type referred to in clause
(1) of a third Person secured by a Lien on any asset owned by such first Person, whether or not
such Indebtedness is assumed by such first Person; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, Indebtedness shall be deemed not to include (a) Contingent Obligations incurred in the
ordinary course of business or (b) any obligations under or in respect of Receivables Facilities,
Factoring Program, operating leases, or Sale and Lease-back Transactions (except any resulting
Capitalized Lease Obligations).

immediately preceding Business Day. The Basic Term Rent due and payable under the Schedule shall
also represent and be the amount of rent for which Lessee becomes liable on account of the use of
the Equipment for the period beginning on each Rent Payment Date and ending on the immediately
succeeding Rent Payment Date, and shall therefore constitute the rent allocated to such rental
periods within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.467-1(c)(2)(ii). Lessee hereby agrees
to pay to Lessor any and all Supplemental Rent when and as the same shall become due and owing.

     (b) Rent shall be paid to Lessor by wire transfer of immediately available funds in United
States Dollars to:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Bank:

	 	Deutsche Bank

	Branch:

	 	New York

	Bank Account #:

	 	50286772	 	 
	ABA:

	 	021001033	 	 
	Account Name:

	 	Gossamer Holdings, LLC

	Customer:

	 	Polymer Group, Inc.

or to such other account as Lessor may direct in writing; and shall be effective upon receipt. All
such accounts shall be under the full dominion and control of Lessor. Payments of Basic Term Rent
shall be in the amount set forth in, and due and allocated in accordance with, the provisions of
the Schedule. In no event shall any Rent payments be refunded to Lessee.

     (c) At such time as Stipulated Loss Value (or an amount determined by reference thereto) shall
be payable hereunder, the amount payable by Lessee shall be calculated by reference to Annex C to
the Schedule for the affected Equipment.

3. RENT ADJUSTMENTS

     (a) The Basic Term Lease Rate Factor set forth on the Schedule, the Basic Term, the First EBO
Price, the Second EBO Price and the Stipulated Loss Value set forth on Annex C were calculated by
Lessor on the basis of the tax assumptions set forth in part 1 of Section D of Exhibit No. 1 (the
“Tax Benefits”) and in addition thereto, the assumptions set forth in Section C of Exhibit No. 1
(the “Pricing Assumptions”).

     (b) If at the Basic Term Commencement Date, any of the Tax Benefits or Pricing Assumptions
shall change or are incorrect (including any change resulting from a change in law), then Lessor
shall recompute the Capitalized Lessor’s Cost, the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor, the First EBO
Date, the First EBO Price, the Second EBO Date, the Second EBO Price and the Stipulated Loss Value
Table (in each case, by increasing or decreasing such amount or amounts) as shall be necessary to
preserve the both General Electric Credit Corporation of Tennessee’s Net Economic Return and ING
Spunmelt Holdings LLC’s Net Economic Return while minimizing the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor. Any
such recomputation shall be consistent with the Pricing Assumptions and Tax Benefits (other than
any such Pricing Assumption or Tax Benefit the incorrectness of which gave rise to such
recomputation or to a prior recomputation), and the Lessor shall utilize the same methods,
constraints and assumptions originally used to calculate the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor, the
First EBO Price, the Second EBO Price and Stipulated Loss Values. Such adjustments shall comply
with Section 467 of the Code and the Regulations and the requirements of Sections 4.02(5), 4.07(1)
and (2) and 4.08(1) of Revenue Procedure 2001-29, as amended (and such that the Lease could not be
treated as a “disqualified leaseback” or “long term agreement” within the meaning of Section 467 of
the Code). Such adjustments shall be reflected in amendments to Exhibit No. 1 to this Agreement
and/or the Schedule that Lessor and Lessee hereby agree to execute and deliver on or prior to the
Basic Term Commencement Date subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
1(b) of this Agreement. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of any recomputation required under
this Section 3(b) and such notice shall include the adjustments made to the Capitalized Lessor’s
Cost, the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor, the First EBO Date, the First EBO Price, the Second EBO
Date, the Second EBO Price and the Stipulated Loss Value Table.

     (c) At the Basic Term Commencement Date, in addition to the pricing adjustments described in
Section 3(b), the Lessor reserves the right to make an additional adjustment prior to the Basic
Term Commencement Date if the Corporate Index Spread Average (2) is more than 25 basis points
different from the Corporate Index Spread (1) as of May 14, 2010 (“Initial Spread”), which Initial
Spread is 112 basis points.

     (1) “Corporate Index Spread” means the U.S. Aggregate Corporate AA-Rated Index
as calculated by Barclays Capital on an Option Adjusted Spread (OAS) basis currently
available online at http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3022-bondbnchmrk.html?mod=mdc_bnd_pglnk or such other nationally
recognized reporting source or publication as Lessor may specify. Please note that

5

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

the aforementioned spread is published at least once a week by the mentioned
sources.

     (2) Corporate Index Spread Average means the average of the weekly Corporate
Index Spreads over the period starting on May 14, 2010 until the date of the last
available Corporate Index Spread as of the Basic Term Commencement Date.

Any such adjustments shall be reflected in amendments to Exhibit No. 1 to this Agreement and/or the
Schedule that Lessee hereby agrees to execute and deliver prior to the Basic Term Commencement
Date.

     (d) If, solely as a result of U.S. Congressional enactment of any law (including, without
limitation, any modification of, or amendment or addition to, the Code), the maximum U.S. effective
corporate income tax rate (exclusive of any minimum tax rate) for calendar-year taxpayers
(“Effective Rate”) is higher than thirty-five percent (35%) for any year during the Term for any
Lease, then Lessor shall have the right to increase such rent payments by requiring payment of a
single additional sum. The additional sum shall be equal to the product of (i) the Effective Rate
(expressed as a decimal) for such year less 0.35 (or, in the event that any adjustment has been
made hereunder for any previous year, the Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) used in
calculating the next previous adjustment) times (ii) the adjusted Stipulated Loss Value (defined
below), divided by (iii) the difference between the new Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) and
one (1). The adjusted Stipulated Loss Value shall be the Stipulated Loss Value (calculated as of
the first rental due in the year for which such adjustment is being made) minus the Tax Benefits
that would be allowable under Section 168 of the Code (as of the first day of the year for which
such adjustment is being made and all future years of the Term for any Lease). The Tax Benefits are
defined on the Schedule. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the full amount of the additional rent payment
on the later of (i) receipt of notice or (ii) the first day of the year for which such adjustment
is being made.

     (e) If upon the determination of the Basic Term Rent, subject to the adjustments set forth in
Section 3 above, the Lessee should determine that the present value of the Basic Term Rents and
including other cash outlays required to be considered in accordance with GAAP, discounted at the
Discount Rate, computes to an amount that equals or exceeds 90% of the Equipment Cost, then the
Lessee may elect to purchase the Equipment (i) in the case that the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor,
as recomputed in accordance with Section 3(b), has increased over the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor
set forth in Section B of Exhibit No. 1, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the Lease Investment
Balance, or (ii) in all other cases, at a purchase price equal to 102% of the Lease Investment
Balance, plus, in each case, any fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lessor or any Member in
connection with execution of the Schedule, which are not included in the Lease Investment Balance.
If the Lessee exercises such purchase option, (x) the Lessee and the Lessor will not execute the
Schedule and the Basic Term shall not commence, (y) Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount set forth
in the immediately preceding sentence and (z) upon Lessor’s receipt of such amount, Lessor shall
convey to Lessee title to the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, free and clear of all Lessor’s
Liens. Notwithstanding the provisions of this clause (e), upon receipt of notice from Lessee
electing such option to purchase the Equipment, and such notice from Lessee will include the
applicable

6

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

present value calculation described above, presented in reasonably sufficient detail, the
Lessor shall have the right but not any obligation to reduce such Basic Term Lease Rate Factor so
that the present value of the Basic Term Rents and including other cash outlays required to be
considered in accordance with GAAP, discounted at the Discount Rate, computes to an amount less
than 90% of the Equipment Cost. If Lessor elects to reduce the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then any election by Lessee to purchase the
Equipment pursuant to this clause (e) shall automatically and without further action be deemed null
and void.

4. TAXES

     (a) Except as provided in Section 3 (d) and Section 15(c) hereof, Lessee shall have no
liability for (i) taxes imposed by the United States of America or any State or political
subdivision thereof or any other Governmental Authority (each, a “Taxing Authority”) which are
based on or measured by the net income of any Indemnified Party, and (ii) taxes in respect of, and
fairly attributable to, any period after the expiration or early termination of this Agreement and
the satisfaction by Lessee of all obligations hereunder (it being understood that this clause (ii)
shall not apply to any taxes that relate to events occurring or matters arising prior to or
simultaneously with such expiration or early termination) (the taxes described in clauses (i) and
(ii) are “Excluded Taxes”).

     (b) Lessee shall report (to the extent that it is legally permissible) and shall pay prior to
delinquency all taxes, fees, duties and assessments (other than the Excluded Taxes) due, imposed,
assessed or levied against: (i) the Equipment, the Facility or the Site (or the construction,
import, installation, financing, refinancing, warranty, ownership, maintenance, repair, condition,
alteration, modification, improvement, restoration, refurbishing, rebuilding, transport, assembly,
repossession, dismantling, abandonment, retirement, decommissioning, storage, replacement, return,
acquisition, sale or other disposition, insuring, sublease, manufacture, design, acceptance,
rejection, purchase, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, mortgaging, operation or other use
or non-use of any thereof, in each case, by Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee or any sublessee of
Lessee or other user or person in possession of any Equipment (or any part thereof)); (ii) any
amounts paid or payable under this Agreement, the other Operative Documents, or the Documents;
(iii) any of the Documents or the Operative Documents; (iv) the conduct of business or affairs of
Lessee or any Affiliate thereof; (v) any Indemnified Party with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents; or (vi) Lessee, by any foreign, United States federal,
state or local government or taxing authority in any of the foregoing related to any of the
transactions contemplated by the Documents, including, without limitation, all license and
registration fees, and all sales, use, personal property, real property, ad valorem, rental,
transfer, excise, gross receipts, value added, goods and services, franchise, stamp or other taxes,
imports, customs or other duties and charges, other than Excluded Taxes, together with any
penalties, fines or interest thereon (all hereinafter called “Taxes”). Lessee shall (i) pay,
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party (on an After-Tax Basis) upon receipt of written
request for indemnification or reimbursement for any Taxes (but excluding the Excluded Taxes)
charged to or assessed against such Indemnified Party, (ii) on request of Lessor, submit to such
Indemnified Party written evidence of Lessee’s payment of such Taxes, (iii) on all reports or tax
returns show the Lessor as the owner of the Equipment, and (iv) send a copy of the reports or tax
returns referred to in clause (iii) above, upon written request

7

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

by Lessor, to Lessor and at Lessor’s request to each Indemnified Party, identified by Lessor
in such written request. At the written request of Lessor, Lessee shall pay directly any such taxes
imposed on any such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, the provisions of the immediately preceding two sentences shall be effective on and
after the Basic Term Commencement Date.

     (c) If any Tax Claim shall be made against any Indemnified Party or if any proceeding shall be
commenced against any Indemnified Party (including a written notice of such proceeding) for any
Taxes as to which Lessee shall have a Tax indemnity hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall
promptly notify Lessee within thirty (30) days (but failure to notify Lessee within this time
period shall not impair such Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder, unless
Lessee’s rights to contest such Tax Claim shall have been precluded by such failure). If (i) Lessee
in writing shall request an Indemnified Party to contest a claim for which an indemnity for Taxes
may be payable by Lessee hereunder (a “Tax Claim”), (ii) Lessee shall agree to pay, and shall be
paying currently, all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with contesting such Tax Claim, (iii)
the Indemnified Party shall reasonably determine that the action to be taken will not result in the
imposition of a Lien upon, and will not result in a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or other
loss of, the Equipment or any component thereof, and will not involve any risk of criminal
liabilities, (iv) Winston & Strawn LLP or other independent nationally recognized tax counsel
selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to Lessee shall have furnished an
opinion to the effect that there is a reasonable basis to contest such Tax Claim, (v) Lessee shall
have executed a written acknowledgment of its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Person for
such Taxes if and to the extent that the contest is not successful, (vi) no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and (vii) the amount of the potential tax indemnity payment exceeds
$25,000, then the Indemnified Party shall, except as set forth below, contest the validity,
applicability or amount of such Taxes by, as determined in such Indemnified Party’s sole discretion
(x) resisting payment thereof, (y) not paying the same except under protest, if protest is
necessary and proper or (z) if payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof
in appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings. Any such contest conducted pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be controlled, and conducted by counsel chosen, by the Indemnified Party
unless such Indemnified Party requests Lessee to conduct such contest and Lessee agrees to itself
conduct such contest. The Indemnified Party shall endeavor in good faith to consult with and advise
Lessee of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by the applicable Taxing Authority and
of all material actions proposed to be taken by the Indemnified Party with respect to such contest,
and shall, to the extent practicable, permit Lessee, upon request, reasonable opportunity to review
the content of any written submissions relating exclusively to the contest of such Tax Claim;
provided, however that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to disclose any document or
information that the Indemnified Party considers privileged or confidential. Subject to the
conditions and limitations set forth herein, such Indemnified Party agrees to appeal any adverse
decision with respect to such contest, provided that in no event shall any Indemnified Party be
required to appeal any adverse decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. If the contest shall be made by
the payment of such Taxes and the claiming of a refund, Lessee shall either make such payment
directly to the appropriate authority or advance to such Indemnified Party on an interest-free
basis sufficient funds to make the payment (including any related interest, penalties and additions
to tax). If an Indemnified Party shall be subject to any Taxes as a result of the making or
existence of any such

8

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

payment or advance, such Taxes shall be treated as Taxes for which Lessee is required to
indemnify such Indemnified Party hereunder without regard to whether such Taxes are Excluded Taxes.
Nothing contained herein shall require an Indemnified Party to contest, or permit Lessee to
contest, a Tax Claim that such Indemnified Party would otherwise be required to contest, if such
Indemnified Party shall waive payment by Lessee of any amount that might otherwise be payable by
Lessee hereunder in respect of such Tax Claim and pay to Lessee any amounts (excluding the expenses
of a contest) theretofore paid by Lessee with respect to such Tax Claim.

     (d) If an Indemnified Party realizes a reduction in taxes as a result of any
indemnification by Lessee under Section 4 (whether by way of deduction, credit, allocation or
apportionment or otherwise) not previously taken into account in calculating an indemnity
hereunder, or any reduction, refund or rebate of any Tax paid by Lessee pursuant to this Section 4,
such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to Lessee an amount equal to (1) the amount of any such
reduction in taxes or reduction plus (2) the aggregate reduction in such Indemnified Party’s taxes
attributable to the deduction, if any, of the amounts payable to Lessee pursuant to this Section 4.
Upon receipt by an Indemnified Party of any refund or credit of all or part of any taxes paid or
indemnified against by Lessee, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to Lessee an amount equal
to the amount of such refund plus any interest received by or credited to such Indemnified Party
with respect to such refund plus or minus (as the case may be) the aggregate reduction or increase,
respectively, in such Indemnified Party’s taxes attributable to the receipt of the refund or credit
from the Taxing Authority and the deduction, if any, of the amounts payable to Lessee pursuant to
this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be required
to make a payment to Lessee under this Section 4(d) (i) if a Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and (ii) in an amount greater than the amount paid by Lessee under Section 4 with
respect to the related taxes for which the Lessee indemnified such Indemnified Party (provided that
any interest received by or credited to such Indemnified Party with respect to such refund shall
also be paid to Lessee). Lessee shall fully indemnify such Indemnified Party if and to the extent
any such reduction, refund, rebate or other tax savings is subsequently lost or disallowed.

     (e) Lessee’s obligations and rights, and Lessor’s (and each Indemnified Party’s) rights,
privileges and indemnities, contained in this Section 4 shall survive the expiration or other
termination of this Agreement. The rights, privileges and indemnities contained in this Agreement
are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by Lessor, any Member, and the
successors and assigns of the Lessor and any Member, and each Indemnified Party.

5. REPORTS

     (a) Lessee will notify Lessor in writing, within 10 days after obtaining actual knowledge,
or after Lessee shall have received written notice, of the attachment of any tax or other Lien
(other than Permitted Liens) against the Facility or any Equipment, of the full particulars thereof
and of the location of the Facility and Equipment on the date of such notification.

     (b) Lessee will deliver to Lessor, (i) within 90 days of the close of each fiscal year of

financial report certified by the chief financial officer of PGI, and (y) within three Business
Days after it is actually filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, if applicable, PGI’s
Form 10-Q.

     (c) Lessee will promptly and fully report to Lessor in writing if any Equipment (or any
part thereof) is lost or damaged (where the estimated repair costs would exceed $100,000), or is
otherwise involved in an accident causing personal injury or property damage which may result in a
loss or liability in excess of $100,000.

     (d) (i) Within 30 days after any request by Lessor and (ii) in connection with any financial
statement delivered pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(i) and (b)(x) above and paragraph (e) below,
Lessee will furnish to Lessor (A) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of PGI and Lessee,
respectively, stating that such officer has reviewed the activities of PGI and Lessee,
respectively, and that, to the best of such officer’s knowledge, there exists no Default or event
which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time (or both), would become a Default, and (B) a
certificate from a financial officer of PGI containing a computation in reasonable detail of, and

end of and for each fiscal quarter during such fiscal year) and the next two succeeding fiscal
years, and promptly when available any significant revisions of such budgets.

     (f) Lessee will comply with Section 17(b)(ii) within 120 days of the Basic Term
Commencement Date and will provide Lessor with a written report of the identification numbers
applicable to each item of Equipment within 120 days of the Basic Term Commencement Date.

     (g) Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor written notice of: (i) any violation of any
Environmental Law or Environmental Permit which violation could result in a material
administrative, criminal or civil liability to Lessor, any Guarantor or Lessee with respect to the
Site, the Facility or the Equipment or could otherwise result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii)
any proceeding, investigation or inquiry of which Lessee has been notified in writing by any
Governmental Authority (including without limitation, the EPA) or any non-government third party
with respect to the presence or Release of Hazardous Substances in, on, from or to the Site, the
Facility or the Equipment which presence or Release could result in a violation of or liability
under any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit, and (iii) any Release of Hazardous Substances
by the Lessee or with respect to the Site, the Facility or the Equipment which Release could result
in a violation of or liability under any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit, other than a de
minimis Release.

10

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

     (h) The Lessor will keep the Lessee apprised of changes in the ownership structure and
outstanding debt obligation of Gossamer Holdings, LLC. Following the receipt of a written request
from Lessee for Gossamer Holdings, LLC financial information, solely for purposes of Lessee’s
financial reporting and only when required by Lessee to comply with GAAP, Lessor shall, within 30
days after the end of any calendar quarter that falls in whole or in part in the period between the
Basic Term Commencement Date and the date on which this Agreement terminates, deliver to the Lessee
unaudited copies of (i) a balance sheet of Gossamer Holdings, LLC as of the end of that calendar
quarter, and (ii) a statement of operations of Gossamer Holdings, LLC, for that year to date fiscal
calendar quarter and (iii) in addition from time to time following the receipt of a written request
from Lessee, Gossamer Holdings, LLC will allow for the timely review by the Lessee’s independent
public accountants of Gossamer Holdings, LLC source documents, excluding any and all tax records,
returns, filings or other tax related documents, as may be reasonably required by Lessee’s
independent public accountants, such as cash disbursements records or similar information, and will
timely respond to reasonable inquiry or confirmation by Lessee’s independent public accountants
related to such disclosures as described above (all such disclosures described in this sentence and
the immediately preceding sentence, collectively, to be defined as the “Lessor Financial
Disclosures”). Lessor shall not have any liability to the Lessee or any other third party in
connection with the Lessee’s use or non-use of any Lessor Financial Disclosures. Lessee hereby, and
as a condition of accepting receipt of any Lessor Financial Disclosures, releases the Lessor, the
Members, and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against any and
all claims, rights, actions, damages and liabilities of any kind, and waives any and all claims and
rights to commence any action against such parties in connection with any Lessor Financial
Disclosures. The Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lessor Financial Disclosures shall
be deemed “Confidential Information” and Lessee shall comply with Section 22 as if all obligations
of Lessor applied to Lessee mutatis mutandis with respect to such Lessor Financial Disclosures.
Lessee shall be responsible for any breach of any third-party confidentiality agreement. Lessee
expressly agrees that any damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) that may be incurred by any Member or Lessor or any of their respective officers,
directors and employees as a direct or indirect result of (i) the provision of any Lessor Financial
Disclosures to the Lessee or (ii) any breach of this Section 5(h) by Lessee, shall each constitute
an indemnifiable Claim under Section 15(a).

6. DELIVERY, USE AND OPERATION

     (a) Lessee represents and warrants that the Equipment shall be in Lessee’s possession as
of the Basic Term Commencement Date.

     (b) Lessee agrees that the Equipment will be maintained and used by Lessee solely in the
conduct of its business and in a manner complying with all Applicable Laws and the Insurance
Requirements (including any applicable insurance policies required to be maintained in accordance
therewith), and Lessee shall not permanently discontinue use of the Equipment (except as otherwise
provided in Section 6(g)).

     (c) Lessee shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, any Lien on or with respect
to the Equipment or any part thereof, title thereto, or any interest of Lessor therein, or in this
Agreement, except Permitted Liens. Lessee will promptly, at its own expense, take or cause

11

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

to be taken such action as may be necessary to discharge any Lien with respect to the Equipment
which is not a Permitted Lien.

     (d) Lessee shall permit any Person designated by Lessor, during normal business hours upon
reasonable notice to visit (and, unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in no
event more than quarterly), inspect and survey the Facility and the Equipment, its condition, use
and operation, and the records maintained in connection therewith; provided, that no such exercise
of such inspection rights shall violate Lessee’s reasonable and customary safety, security and
confidentiality policies and procedures. None of Lessor or any of its designees shall have any duty
to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making
any such inspection. The failure of any such party to object to any condition or procedure observed
or observable in the course of an inspection hereunder shall not be deemed to waive or modify any
of the terms of this Agreement with respect to such condition or procedure.

     (e) Lessee will keep all the Equipment at the Site specified in the Schedule and will not
move the Equipment (or any component thereof) from the Site; provided that subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, Lessee shall be permitted to remove components as necessary and
keep such components (i) at the location of a Vendor within the United States or other location in
the United States for the sole purpose of repairing such components or (ii) at any other location
for any other purpose with Lessor’s prior written consent. Anything in the foregoing to the
contrary notwithstanding, (i) upon the written request of Lessor, Lessee will notify Lessor
forthwith in writing of the location of any Equipment as of the date of such notification, (ii) in
no event shall any components be removed from the Site for a period of one (1) month or longer,
whether for permitted inspection or repairs or for any other reason, unless Lessee gives Lessor
prior notice of the same and assists Lessor with the preparation and filing (prior to the
expiration of such one (1) month period) of such instruments and documents as Lessor may deem
reasonably necessary to preserve Lessor’s rights in such components.

     (f) The parties agree that the Equipment shall at all times remain personal property of
Lessor regardless of the degree of its annexation to any real property and shall not by reason of
any installation in, or affixation to, real or personal property become a part thereof. Lessee
shall obtain and deliver to Lessor (to be recorded at Lessee’s expense) from any Person having an
interest in the property where the Equipment is to be located, waivers of any Lien, encumbrance or
interest which such Person might have or hereafter obtain or claim with respect to the Equipment.

     (g) Lessee (and not the Lessor) will be solely responsible for complying with all
Applicable Laws and existing agreements in connection with the installation, use, possession and
operation of the Equipment, and to obtain and maintain on its own behalf the Government Approvals
required in accordance with such Applicable Laws and existing agreements. The Lessee (and not the
Lessor) will be solely liable for any fines or penalties imposed by any Governmental Authority in
connection with the foregoing. Lessee shall have the right to contest and appeal all such fines and
penalties, and Lessor will provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Lessee in connection
with the same.

12

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

     (h) Lessee shall (1) not use the Equipment for any purpose other than as provided herein,
(2) be responsible for any damages caused to third parties by the use and/or operation of the
Equipment and (3) cause the Equipment to not contain any Hazardous Substance, except for such
Hazardous Substances used in the ordinary course of operation of the Equipment, provided the use of
such Hazardous Substance complies with Environmental Laws. Lessor may require Lessee, to conduct an
Environmental Evaluation of the Site provided such Environmental Evaluation shall not be conducted
more than once in any 18 month period except in the event of a Default.

     (i) Lessee shall at its own cost, defend the Equipment, as well as the rights of Lessor in
the Equipment and the Site, from any third party claims and take all such actions that are
necessary in connection with such defense.

     (j) From time to time at Lessee’s reasonable request and sole expense, Lessor will execute
and deliver to Lessee promptly all applications, forms and other documents that must be executed by
the owner of the Equipment or which are necessary for Lessee to pursue or enforce any warranty or
other claim against any manufacturer or Vendor of the Equipment or to apply for or pursue any
permit or other item described in subparagraph (g) above.

     (k) If an Adverse Environmental Condition is identified (other than a minor non-compliance
or a de minimis and surficial Release to a non-pervious surface or to soil) at any time prior to
the expiration or termination of this Agreement or in the event of a Default, Lessee, at its sole
cost and in compliance with Environmental Laws, shall promptly address, correct and remediate each
identified Adverse Environmental Condition. For noncompliance matters, Lessee shall promptly
achieve compliance with Environmental Law unless Lessee is diligently contesting the noncompliance
in good faith and prevails on the merits within 180 days of the condition being initially
identified and after such 180 days only if the Lessee has established a reserve required by GAAP,
and for the Release of or presence of Hazardous Substances in the environment (other than a de
minimis and surficial Release to a non-pervious surface or to soil), Lessee shall remediate
groundwater contamination to achieve federal Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and remediate soil
contamination to achieve industrial cleanup standards (including the use of engineering and
institutional controls solely for soil, provided such controls do not interfere with the operation
of the Equipment, the Facility or the Site), and complete such remediation within 180 days of the
condition being initially identified and after such 180 days, only if the Lessee has established a
reserve for the condition required by GAAP.

7. MAINTENANCE

     (a) Lessee will, at its sole expense, maintain the Equipment in good operating order,
repair, condition and appearance in accordance with manufacturer’s warranty requirements and in
compliance in all material respects with any Applicable Law and in compliance with the Insurance
Requirements, and standards consistent with and customary to industry practice, reasonable wear and
tear excepted. Lessee shall obtain, maintain in full force and effect and comply in all material
respects with all Environmental Permits required to operate the Equipment.

13

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

     (b) Lessee shall from time to time make such alterations, additions and modifications to
the Equipment as shall (i) be required to cause the Equipment to comply in all material respects
with any Applicable Law and to comply with all Insurance Requirements, or (ii) be required to
enable the Equipment to continue to be capable of operating at the capacity levels at which the
Equipment was capable of operating as of the Basic Term Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear
excepted (each a “Required Modification”). Lessee will not, without the prior consent of Lessor,
affix or install any accessory, equipment or device on any Equipment if such addition will
materially impair the originally intended function, use, useful life or ability to operate of such
Equipment or materially impair the value or residual value of such Equipment, unless required by
Applicable Law. Each Required Modification shall become the property of Lessor and part of the
Equipment free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. Lessee will not, without the prior
written consent of Lessor and subject to such conditions as Lessor may reasonably impose for its
protection, affix or install any Equipment (or any component thereof) to, or in, any other personal
or real property of a third party (other than as permitted under Section 6(e)).

     (c) Lessee at any time may alter, modify or make additions to the Equipment (any such
alteration, modification or addition which is not a Required Modification is an optional
modification (“Optional Modification”)). No Optional Modification shall (i) diminish the fair
market value, utility, condition, remaining economic useful life, or estimated residual value of
the Equipment below the fair market value, utility, condition, remaining economic useful life, or
estimated residual value immediately prior to the completion of such Optional Modification, (ii)
cause the Equipment or any portion thereof to become “limited use property” within the meaning of
Revenue Procedures 2001-28 and 2001-29, (iii) otherwise result in an adverse tax consequence to
Lessor or any Member, or (iv) alter the function of the Equipment or any portion thereof from that
for which it was designed and intended. Title to any Optional Modification which is a Non-Severable
Modification shall be (at no cost to Lessor) immediately vested in Lessor and shall automatically
become part of the Equipment and become subject to this Lease and the other Operative Documents for
all purposes. Title to any Optional Modification which is a Severable Modification shall remain
with Lessee, and Lessor shall have no interest in such Optional Modification. During the Basic Term
or at the return of the Equipment, Lessee may remove or replace any Optional Modification which is
a Severable Modification. If Lessee, at its cost, shall complete any Severable Modifications which
are Optional Modifications, and such Severable Modifications theretofore made have not been removed
at the end of the Basic Term or at the return of the Equipment, or within 30 days thereafter, title
to such Severable Modifications shall pass to Lessor at no cost to Lessor. During such 30-day
period, Lessor will give Lessee and its contractors reasonable access to the Equipment to remove
such Optional Modification and to repair any resulting damage as provided in this Agreement as long
as they agree to comply with Lessor’s reasonable and customary safety, security and confidentiality
policies and procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
Lessor will not be in breach of its confidentiality obligations under this Agreement for allowing
third parties to have access to the Equipment that includes an Optional Modification which is a
Severable Modification.

     (d) Any Required Modification shall be made at the expense of Lessee, shall be free and
clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and shall immediately become the property of
Lessor.

8. CASUALTY OCCURRENCE.

     Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing if the Equipment (i) suffers damage or
destruction resulting in an insurance settlement on the basis of actual, constructive or
compromised total loss; (ii) suffers destruction or damage beyond repair; or (iii) becomes lost,
stolen, destroyed or suffers damage, which in the reasonable determination of Lessor, makes repair
uneconomic or renders the Equipment permanently unfit for use from any cause whatsoever (including
an Adverse Environmental Condition) (such occurrences being hereinafter called “Casualty
Occurrences”). The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all of the Equipment shall be under
Lessee’s care and attention at all times, and that Lessee shall maintain and use the Equipment in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and therefore, Lessee shall be responsible for any
Casualty Occurrence. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in Section 10(g) hereof, if any of the
events set forth in the proviso to clause (ii) of Section 10(g) have occurred, on the date set
forth on Annex C to the Schedule during the first month next succeeding a Casualty Occurrence, or
if such date is not a Business Day, then on the next day that is a Business Day (the “Payment
Date”), Lessee shall pay Lessor the sum of (x) the Stipulated Loss Value of all Equipment
calculated in accordance with Annex C of the Schedule; and (y) all Rent (including Basic Term Rent
scheduled to be paid on such Payment Date) and other amounts which are due hereunder with respect
to the Equipment as of the Payment Date; provided that Lessee shall not be required to make any
payment in respect of a Casualty Occurrence if (A) the Equipment affected by such Casualty
Occurrence is not necessary to enable the Equipment to continue to be capable of operating at the
capacity levels at which the Equipment was capable of operating as of the Basic Term Commencement
Date with respect to the Equipment covered by the Schedule (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and
(B) the failure to repair or replace such Equipment does not diminish the value, utility or
remaining useful life of the Equipment which remains subject to this Agreement from the value,
utility and remaining useful life of all Equipment subject to this Agreement immediately prior to
such Casualty Occurrence. Upon payment of all sums due hereunder, the obligation of Lessee to pay
Rent and the Term of this Agreement as to the Equipment shall terminate, and (except in the case of
the loss, theft or complete destruction of the Equipment ) Lessee may elect (by giving Lessor
written notice) to receive from Lessor title to the Equipment, on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, free
and clear of all Lessor’s Liens; provided that if Lessee elects to take title to the Equipment
(in-place and in-use) and the Fair Market Value of the Equipment is greater than the applicable
Stipulated Loss Value, then Lessee will pay Lessor as additional purchase price the amount by which
such Fair Market Value exceeds such Stipulated Loss Value. Lessor shall apply any insurance
proceeds received pursuant to any insurance policies maintained by the Lessee to the payment of
Lessee’s obligations under this Section 8, and Lessee shall be entitled to receive any such
insurance proceeds in excess of the proceeds necessary to pay Lessor the amounts due under this
Section 8. Any other amounts received by Lessor or Lessee with respect to such Casualty Occurrence
from any Governmental Authority or other Person shall be divided between the Lessee and Lessor as
their interests appear.

9. LOSS OR DAMAGE

     Lessee hereby assumes and shall bear the entire responsibility for any loss, theft, damage to,
or destruction of the Equipment from any cause whatsoever, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement; provided, however, that if, and so long as, no Default exists under this

15

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

Agreement, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect any rights the Lessee may have
against third parties.

10. INSURANCE

     (a) Coverage. Without limiting any of the other obligations or liabilities of
Lessee under this Agreement, Lessee shall, during the term of this Agreement, carry and maintain,
with respect to the Equipment, at its own expense, at least the minimum insurance coverage set
forth in this Section 10. Lessee shall also carry and maintain any other insurance that Lessor may
reasonably require from time to time. All insurance carried pursuant to this Section 10 shall be
placed with such insurers having a minimum A.M. Best rating of A:X, with terms, conditions and
limits as shall be acceptable to Lessor. The insurance required to be carried and maintained by
Lessee hereunder shall in all events, include the following:

     (i) All Risk Property Insurance. Lessee shall maintain all risk property
insurance covering the Equipment against all risks of physical loss or damage, including but
not limited to fire and extended coverage, collapse, flood, earth movement and comprehensive
boiler and machinery coverage (including but not limited to electrical malfunction and
mechanical breakdown). Coverage shall be written in the greater of the then current
Stipulated Loss Value or replacement cost value in an amount reasonably acceptable to
Lessor. Such insurance policy shall contain an agreed amount endorsement waiving any
coinsurance penalty and shall include expediting expense coverage in an amount not less than
$1,000,000; and

     (ii) Business Interruption Insurance. As an extension of the insurance
required under subsection (a)(i), Lessee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, business
interruption insurance in an agreed amount equal to 12 months gross profit or gross earnings
until the production is restored. Deductibles shall not exceed $250,000; and

     (iii) Commercial General Liability Insurance. Lessee shall maintain
comprehensive general liability insurance written on an occurrence basis with a limit of not
less than $1,000,000 each occurrence, $2,000,000 Products & Completed Operations Aggregate
and $2,000,000 General Aggregate. Such coverage shall include, but not be limited to,
premises/operations, broad form contractual liability, independent contractors,
products/completed operations, property damage and personal injury liability. Such insurance
shall be written on form ISO CGL 00 01 12 07 (or its equivalent) and shall not contain an
exclusion for punitive or exemplary damages where insurable by law; and

     (iv) Workers’ Compensation/Employer’s Liability. The Lessee shall maintain
(A) workers’ compensation insurance or any other statutory insurance required by Applicable
Law with respect to work-related injuries, disease or death of any employee of Lessee while
at work or in the scope of his/her employment with the Lessee and (B) Employer’s Liability
in an amount not less than $1,000,000 each accident, each employee; and

     (v) Excess/Umbrella Liability. Lessee shall maintain excess or umbrella
liability insurance written on an occurrence basis in an amount not less than

16

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

$100,000,000 General Aggregate providing coverage limits excess of the insurance limits
required under sections (a)(iii), and (a)(iv) employer’s liability only. Such insurance
shall follow the form of the primary insurances and drop down in case of exhaustion of
underlying limits and/or aggregates. Such insurance shall not contain an exclusion for
punitive or exemplary damages where insurable under law.

     (b) Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee and its insurers waives its right to subrogate
against Lessor and its insurers for all policies Lessee is required to carry and maintain.

     (c) Endorsements. Lessee shall cause all insurance policies carried and maintained
in accordance with this Section 10 to be endorsed as follows:

     (i) Lessee shall be the named insured and loss payee and Lessor shall be an
additional insured and lender loss payee as its interest may appear with respect to the
Equipment covered by property policies described in subsection (a)(i) and (a)(ii). Lessee
shall be the named insured and Lessor shall be named as an additional insured with respect
to liability policies described in subsections (a)(iii), (a)(iv) to the extent allowed by
law and (a)(v). It shall be understood that any obligation imposed upon Lessee, including
but not limited to the obligation to pay premiums, shall be the sole obligation of Lessee
and not that of Lessor; and

     (ii) With respect to property policies described in subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii),
the interests of Lessor shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee, any
Guarantor or any other Person, and shall insure Lessor regardless of any breach or violation
by Lessee or any other Person, of any warranties, declarations or conditions of such
policies; and

     (iii) Inasmuch as the liability policies are written to cover more than one
insured, all terms conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements, with the exception of
the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy
covering each insured; and

     (iv) The insurers thereunder shall waive all rights of subrogation against Lessor
any right of setoff or counterclaim and any other right to deduction, whether by attachment
or otherwise; and

     (v) Such insurance shall be primary without right of contribution of any other
insurance carried by or on behalf of Lessor with respect to their interests as such in the
Equipment; and

     (vi) If such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, including nonpayment
of premium, or any changes are initiated by Lessee or the carrier which affects the
interests of Lessor, such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to Lessor until
30 days, except for (non-payment of premium which shall be 10 days) after receipt by Lessor
of written notice sent by registered mail from such insurer.

     (d) Certifications. On the Basic Term Commencement Date with respect to the
Equipment leased as of such date, and at each policy renewal, but not less than annually with

17

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

respect to all Equipment then leased, Lessee shall provide to Lessor a certification and
endorsement from each insurer or by an authorized representative of each insurer. Such
certification and endorsement shall identify the companies affording coverage, the type of
insurance, the policy period(s), policy numbers, limits, and term thereof and shall specifically
list the special provisions delineated for such insurance required for this Section 10.

     (e) Insurance Report. Concurrently with the furnishing of all certificates
referred to in this Section 10, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with a statement from Lessee’s
independent insurance broker stating that all premiums then due have been paid and that, in the
opinion of such broker, the insurance then maintained by Lessee is in accordance with this Section
10. Furthermore, upon its first knowledge, such broker shall advise Lessor promptly in writing of
any default in the payment of any premiums or any other act or omission, on the part of any person,
which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance provided by
Lessee and/or user hereunder.

     (f) General. Upon request, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with copies of all
insurance policies, binders and cover notes or other evidence of such insurance. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, no provision of this Section 10 or any provision of this Agreement
shall impose on Lessor any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance
coverage maintained by Lessee, nor shall Lessor be responsible for any representations or
warranties made by or on behalf of Lessee to any insurance broker, company or underwriter. Lessor,
at its sole option, may obtain such insurance if not provided by Lessee and in such event, Lessee
shall reimburse Lessor upon demand for the cost thereof together with interest.

     (g) Proceeds of Insurance. Insurance proceeds shall be applied as follows:

     (i) If the Lessee believes that, based on reasonable estimates of loss, the amount
of insurance proceeds payable in respect of any casualty event or any series of related
casualty events to be less than or equal to $500,000, the Lessee may elect to restore or
replace the property affected by such casualty event without the consent of the Lessor so
long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     (ii) If the Lessee believes that, based on reasonable estimates of loss, the amount
of insurance proceeds payable in respect of any casualty event or any series of related
casualty events to be in excess of $500,000, the Lessee may elect to restore or replace the
property affected by such casualty event if the Lessee has delivered to the Lessor, within
twenty (20) days from the occurrence of such casualty event, a Restoration or Replacement
Plan with respect to such casualty that is based upon, or accompanied by, each of the
following: (A) (1) a detailed breakdown of the nature and extent of such casualty event and
(2) a bona fide assessment (from a contractor reasonably acceptable to the Lessor) of the
estimated cost and time needed to restore or replace the affected property; (B) satisfactory
evidence that such insurance proceeds and the Lessee’s other available funds are sufficient
to make the necessary restorations to or replacement of the affected property; (C) delivery
of an officer’s certificate of the Lessee certifying that, at the completion of the
restoration or replacement, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing in connection
with such casualty event; and (D) confirmation by the Engineering Consultant, of its
agreement based on the information available to it with the

18

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

matters set forth in clauses (A) through (B) above within twenty (20) days after the
receipt of the foregoing information and its approval of such Restoration or Replacement
Plan; provided, that, if the Lessee does not deliver such Restoration or Replacement Plan
within such 20-day period or if the Lessor or the Engineering Consultant provides written
notice to Lessee that it rejects the Restoration or Replacement Plan, and following
consultation by the Lessee with the Lessor or the Engineering Consultant regarding any
proposal by Lessee to modify the Restoration or Replacement Plan but within 20 days after
Lessee has received such initial written rejection notice, the Lessor or the Engineering
Consultant provides written notice to Lessee that it has rejected Lessee’s modified
Restoration or Replacement Plan, the Lessee shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid,
proceeds of any insurance to Lessor, as loss payee, which shall be applied, in Lessor’s
discretion, toward the replacement, restoration or repair of the Equipment to the condition
required by Section 7 or toward the payment of Stipulated Loss Value in accordance with
Section 8 hereof.

     (iii) If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lessee shall remit
to Lessor, as loss payee, proceeds of any insurance covering damage or loss which proceeds
shall be applied, in Lessor’s discretion, to replacement, restoration or repair of the
Equipment to the condition required by Section 7 or toward the payment of Stipulated Loss
Value in accordance with Section 8.

11. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT

     (a) Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement or the Schedule, Lessee shall
promptly, at its own cost and expense comply with the obligations set forth Section 11(c) below and

obligations under this Agreement shall continue from month-to-month notwithstanding any expiration
or termination of the Basic Term provided that the Rent payable for the Equipment shall be the
higher of (A) the then Fair Market Rental Value, and (B) the monthly average Rent payable over the
Basic Term. Lessor may terminate such continued leasehold interest upon ten (10) days prior written
notice to Lessee. In addition to these rents, Lessor shall have all of its other rights and
remedies available as a result of this non-performance.

     (c) (i) Upon written notice from Lessor not less than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to
the expiration of this Agreement, Lessee shall no later than two hundred ten (210) days prior to
the expiration of this Agreement (or as promptly as practicable following the earlier termination
of this Agreement):

Proprietary Information, in each case subject to Section 7(c) above; and

     (3) provide a certification of the manufacturer or of a maintenance
provider acceptable to Lessor that the Equipment (a) has been tested and is
operating in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications (reasonable wear and tear
excepted), together with a report detailing the condition of the Equipment, the
results of such test(s) and inspection(s) and all repairs that were performed as a
result of such test(s) and inspection(s) and (b) if applicable, that the Equipment
qualifies for the manufacturer’s used equipment maintenance program; provided that
Lessee shall not be required to spend or pay any additional amount to qualify the
Equipment for any such program.

     (ii) at least three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to expiration of this
Agreement (or as promptly as practicable following the earlier termination of this
Agreement), upon receiving reasonable written notice from Lessor, make the Equipment
available for on-site operational inspections by potential purchasers (which may include
competitors of PGI or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), under power, and provide
personnel, power and other requirements necessary to demonstrate electrical, mechanical and
hydraulic systems for the Equipment; provided that no inspection shall violate Lessee’s
reasonable and customary safety, security and confidentiality policies and procedures;

     (iii) with respect to any Equipment which has been modified by Lessee, except with
respect to any Optional Modifications which are Severable Modifications that Lessee intends
to remove prior to return, furnish to Lessor a listing of no less than three (3) (if

leave Hazardous Substances specified by the manufacturer as necessary to maintain or operate
the Equipment provided no Hazardous Substance is leaking from the Equipment); have all
Lessee installed markings or labels which are not necessary for the

20

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

operation, maintenance or repair of the Equipment removed; and cause the Equipment to
be in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws;

     (v) at Lessor’s choice, either (1) allow Lessor, at Lessor’s expense, and provided
that Lessor has given reasonable notice to Lessee, arrange for an on-site auction of the
Equipment in an assembled and functional state, any such auction will be conducted in a
manner which will not unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s business operations and in
accordance with Lessee’s reasonable and customary safety, security and confidentiality
policies and procedures, or (2) tender the Equipment to the Lessor at the Facility;

     (vi) allow Lessor, at Lessee’s expense, to conduct an Environmental Evaluation with
respect to the Site or the Facility at least 120 days prior to the return of the Equipment,
demonstrating there are no Adverse Environmental Conditions (other than a de minimis and
surficial Release to a non-pervious surface) associated with the Site or the Facility. If an
Adverse Environmental Condition is identified (other than a de minimis and surficial Release
to a non-pervious surface), Lessee, at its sole cost and in compliance with Environmental
Laws, shall promptly address, correct and remediate each identified Adverse Environmental
Condition. For noncompliance matters, Lessee shall promptly achieve compliance with
Environmental Law unless Lessee is diligently contesting the noncompliance in good faith and
has established a reserve required by GAAP, and for the Release of or presence of Hazardous
Substances in the environment (other than a de minimis and surficial Release to a
non-pervious surface), Lessee shall remediate groundwater contamination to achieve federal
Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and remediate soil contamination to achieve industrial
cleanup standards (including the use of engineering and institutional controls solely for
soil, provided such controls do not interfere with the operation or return of the Equipment,
or the operation of the Facility or the Site), and complete such remediation within 180 days
of the condition being identified and after such 180 days only if Lessee has established a
reserve for the condition required under GAAP;

     (vii) at the request of Lessor and to the extent permissible under Applicable Law,
assign, transfer, or furnish, or cause to be assigned, transferred, furnished, or re-issued,
to Lessor or its designee, Lessee’s rights and interest in, to and under all permits
(including Environmental Permits), certificates, licenses, approvals, Included IP,
intellectual property, and similar rights which are necessary or reasonably desirable for
the operation of the Equipment (other than the Proprietary Information);

     (viii) Lessee shall provide to Lessor copies of all permits, licenses, certificates
and consents required to evidence compliance with Lessee’s obligations under clause (vii)
above to allow the Equipment to continue to be operated at the capacity levels at which the
Equipment was capable of being operated as of the Basic Term Commencement Date; and

     (ix) After expiration of the Basic Term the Lessee shall make available key
employee’s (chief engineer & operators) to aid the Lessor in the selling of the Equipment
for a period of up to 720 days. During such period the Lessee shall make available the

21

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

Equipment for on-site operational inspections by potential purchasers, under power, and
provide personnel, power and other requirements necessary to demonstrate electrical,
mechanical and hydraulic systems for the Equipment, subject to and in compliance with
Lessee’s reasonable and customary safety, security and confidentiality policies and
procedures.

     (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 7(c) above),
(i) no Proprietary Information will become the property of Lessor and (ii) all Proprietary
Information will always remain the property of Lessee (or its customers or suppliers, as the case
may be).

Member) $500,000 or more at the time of such default or (B) any contract or agreement that
could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the operation or value of
the Equipment or result in a Material Adverse Effect;

     (xiv) there occurs a default under any of Lessee’s or under any Guarantor’s credit
agreements or financing facilities or similar arrangements (i) with Persons other than

     (i) at the request of Lessor, Lessee shall comply with the provisions of Section

25

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

     (iii) (1) Provided that Lessor has not exercised remedies under Section 12(b)(iii)(2),
Lessee shall, without further demand, forthwith pay to Lessor (A) the
Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment (calculated in accordance with Annex C of the
Schedule as of the Payment Date next preceding the declaration of default), plus (B) an
amount equal to all Rent (including Basic Term Rent), all applicable taxes and other sums
then due hereunder; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, such Rent and other sums
shall be the unaccelerated amounts due as of such date. If Lessee shall have made the
foregoing payments indefeasibly in full, Lessor shall thereafter pay over to Lessee as and
when from time to time received, the net proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition of
such Equipment (after deducting all costs and expenses whatsoever incurred by Lessor or any
Member in connection therewith and all other amounts which may become payable by Lessor or
any Member with respect thereto) up to the amount of such Stipulated Loss Value actually
paid by Lessee.

     (2) In lieu of exercising its rights under Section 12(b)(iii)(1), Lessor
may by written notice to Lessee specifying a Payment Date which is not earlier than
10 days after the date of such notice, demand that Lessee pay to Lessor and Lessee
shall pay to Lessor, on such Payment Date, in lieu of all Rent due after such
Payment Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Stipulated Loss Value of
the Equipment computed as of the Payment Date specified in the notice over the Fair
Market Value thereof as of such Payment Date.

     (iv) Lessor may, but shall not be required to, retain an Environmental Consultant
to undertake an Environmental Evaluation of the Site at Lessee’s expense; and

     (v) Lessor may, but shall not be required to, sell the Equipment, or any portion
thereof, at private or public sale, in bulk or in parcels, with or without notice, and
without having the Equipment present at the place of sale; or Lessor may, but shall not be
required to, lease, otherwise dispose of or keep idle all or part of the Equipment; and
Lessor may use the Facility pursuant to the Site Lease, until all amounts due hereunder have
been paid, for any or all of the foregoing without liability for rent. The proceeds of sale,
lease or other disposition, if any, together with the aggregate proceeds obtained by Lessor
from one or more drawings under an Acceptable Letter of Credit made pursuant to Section
12(c), shall be applied in the following order of priorities: (A) first, to pay all
of Lessor’s costs, charges and expenses incurred in taking, removing, holding, repairing and
selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of the Equipment; then, (B) second,
to the extent not previously paid by Lessee, to pay Lessor all amounts due from Lessee
hereunder; then, (C) third, to reimburse to Lessee any sums previously paid
by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Section 12(b); then, (D) fourth, to
reimburse to Lessee any sums obtained by Lessor from one or more drawings under an
Acceptable Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 12(c) in excess of application of such sums
against any amounts due to Lessor from Lessee hereunder (including any application of such
sums to the payment of contractual penalties); and (E) fifth, any surplus shall be
retained by Lessor. Lessee shall pay any deficiency in clauses (A) and (B) forthwith.

     (c) In addition to any other rights set forth in this Section 12 but subject to Section
12(b)(iii), after a Default shall have occurred, and without limitation of any of the foregoing

26

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

remedies, Lessor (i) may terminate or cancel this Agreement as to any or all of the Equipment; (ii)
shall be entitled to make a drawing under any Acceptable Letter of Credit for the maximum
amount available thereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to satisfy Lessee’s obligations
hereunder and under the other Documents; or (iii) may exercise all rights and remedies as a secured
party under the UCC with respect to the Security Deposit, including the right to collect, receive,
appropriate and realize upon the Security Deposit and apply the proceeds thereof to satisfy
Lessee’s obligations hereunder and under the other Documents.

     (d) The foregoing remedies are cumulative, and any or all thereof may be exercised in lieu
of or in addition to each other or any remedies at law. If permitted by Applicable Laws, Lessee
shall pay reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Lessor or any Member in enforcing the
provisions of this Agreement and any ancillary documents. Waiver of any Default shall not be a
waiver of any other or subsequent default.

     (e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, if (w) a Default
shall have occurred solely as a result of an event or events set forth in Section 12(a)(iii), (x)
such Default is not caused by the Lessee for the purpose of obtaining this right to obtain title to
the Equipment, (y) Lessor shall have declared such Default and pursued remedies as set forth
herein, and (z) as a result thereof Lessee shall have paid (and Lessor shall have received) (A) the
Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment (calculated in accordance with Annex C of the Schedule as of
the Payment Date next preceding the declaration of default), plus (B) an amount equal to all Rent
(including Basic Term Rent), all applicable taxes and other sums then due hereunder; provided, that
for the avoidance of doubt, such Rent and other sums shall be the unaccelerated amounts due as of
such date, then Lessor shall convey to Lessee title to the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS,
free and clear of all Lessor’s Liens, provided that if the Fair Market Value of the Equipment
(in-place and in-use) is greater than the Stipulated Loss Value as of the Payment Date next
preceding the declaration of Default, then Lessee will pay Lessor as additional purchase price the
amount by which such Fair Market Value exceeds such Stipulated Loss Value; provided further,
however, that Lessee’s right to obtain title in the limited circumstances set forth in this clause
(e) shall not apply with respect to any Default described in any other clause or clauses of Section
12(a).

     (f) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement or the Security
Deposit Pledge Agreement, if a Default shall have occurred solely with respect to (i) Section
12(a)(iv) if such Default results from Lessee’s failure to provide audited financial statements
within the designated time period in accordance with Section 5(b); (ii) Section 12(a)(xi)(2) or
Section 12(a)(xi)(3); (iii) Section 12(a)(xii)(a) other than as a result of a payment default; (iv)
Section 12(a)(xiii) other than as a result of a payment default thereunder (each of the foregoing,
a “Limited Remedy Event of Default”), if and only if Lessor has elected to exercise remedies under
this Section 12(f) and so long as no other Default (other than any other Limited Remedy Event of
Default) has occurred and is continuing, then the Lessee shall, upon demand by Lessor, pay to
Lessor an amount (the “Special SLV Amount”) such that the sum of (A) the present value of all Basic
Term Rent paid through the date such Special SLV Amount is paid, plus (B) (1) the present value of
the Lessee’s cost for obtaining an Acceptable Letter of Credit with a stated amount equal to the
Required Amount to be delivered at the Basic Term Commencement Date paid through the date such
Special SLV Amount is paid, plus (2) the Security Deposit as of the Basic Term Commencement date
minus the present value of the Security Deposit as of the day

27

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

such Special SLV Amount is paid, plus
(C) the present value of the Special SLV Amount, will equal 89.95% of Equipment Cost. The actual
Special SLV Amount required to be paid by the
Lessee to the Lessor pursuant to this Section 12(f) shall be reduced by the amount of proceeds
of the Security Deposit and/or proceeds of any Acceptable Letter of Credit that have been applied
by the Lessor against the Special SLV Amount (as determined in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence). If and only if Lessor has elected to exercise remedies under this Section
12(f) and has demanded payment of the Special SLV Amount, the only amount payable by the Lessee
solely in respect of any Limited Remedy Event of Default shall be the Special SLV Amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions set forth in this Section 12(f), this Section 12(f) shall
not limit in any respect (1) Lessor’s rights and remedies in connection with any Default other than
a Limited Remedy Event of Default, including any and all rights and remedies relating to Lessee’s
failure to pay such Special SLV Amount or to comply with any other provisions of this Agreement
which failure occurs either before or after the occurrence of such Limited Remedy Event of Default
and (2) any of Lessee’s obligations under Section 4 and Section 15; provided that, if and only if
Lessor has elected to exercise remedies under this Section 12(f), Lessor shall not be entitled to
recover any damages under Section 4 or Section 15 incurred by Lessor solely in respect of a Limited
Remedy Event of Default to the extent that the aggregate amounts of any such recoveries plus any
other amounts paid by Lessee under this Section 12(f) exceeds the Special SLV Amount. All present
value calculations required to be made under this Section 12(f) shall use a discount rate equal to
the Discount Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 12(f), unless
Lessor elects to exercise remedies under this Section 12(f), none of the limitations set forth in
this Section 12(f) on Lessor’s rights, remedies and indemnities shall be effective.

     (g) Unless previously terminated, upon payment of all amounts due hereunder and
satisfaction of all other obligations hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate and Lessor shall
pay any balance of the Security Deposit to Lessee promptly and release any further interest in any
Acceptable Letter of Credit.

13. ASSIGNMENT; SYNDICATION

     (a) LESSEE SHALL NOT ASSIGN, MORTGAGE, SUBLET OR CREATE ANY TYPE OF LIEN OVER ANY
EQUIPMENT OR THE INTEREST OF LESSEE HEREUNDER (OTHER THAN PERMITTED LIENS) WITHOUT THE PRIOR
WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR.

     (b) Lessor may, without the consent of Lessee, assign any or all of its right, title and
interest in this Agreement and the Schedule, provided, that so long as no Default has occurred and
is continuing, Lessor will not assign all or any portion of its right, title and interest in this
Agreement and the Schedule to any entity that Lessee determines, based on written advice of its
auditors and as confirmed to Lessor in a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee delivered
to Lessor within ten days after receipt of notice by Lessor as to the identity of the proposed
transferee, will result in Lessee consolidating its financial reports with such entity. Lessee
agrees that it will pay all Rent and other amounts payable under this Agreement and the Schedule to
Lessor named therein; provided, however, if Lessee receives written notice of an assignment from
Lessor, Lessee will pay all Rent and other amounts payable under this Agreement and the Schedule to
such assignee or as instructed by Lessor. Lessee agrees reasonably to cooperate with

28

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

Lessor in
connection with any such proposed assignment, including the execution and delivery of such other
documents, instruments, notices, opinions, certificates and acknowledgments, as
reasonably may be required by Lessor or such assignee, and the delivery of all information
concerning Lessee and each Guarantor that is reasonably necessary for Lessor to complete the
assignment; and Lessee further agrees to confirm in writing receipt of a notice of assignment as
reasonably may be requested by assignee. Lessee hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any
such assignee any defense, set-off, recoupment claim or counterclaim that Lessee has or may at any
time have against Lessor for any reason whatsoever, provided, however, that nothing contained in
this sentence shall be construed as a waiver by Lessee of its right to assert against Lessor, in a
separate action against Lessor, any claims that Lessee has against Lessor.

     (c) Subject always to the foregoing, this Agreement inures to the benefit of, and is
binding upon, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

     (d) Lessee acknowledges that it has been advised that the interest of Lessor in this
Agreement and the other Documents may be conveyed to or participated to, in whole or in part, and
may be used as security for financing obtained from, one or more third parties without the consent
of Lessee pursuant to a syndication.

     (e) In connection herewith the Lessor, any member of the Lessor or any Affiliate of such
member (a “Syndication Agent”) may initiate discussions with potential participants regarding their
participation in this transaction. Lessee and its management will assist in all syndication
efforts. Such assistance will include, but not be limited to: (i) prompt assistance in the
preparation of an information memorandum and verification of the accuracy and completeness of the
information contained therein; (ii) preparation of other information, offering materials and
projections by Lessee and its advisors taking into account this transaction; (iii) providing any
Syndication Agent with all information reasonably deemed necessary by such Syndication Agent to
complete the syndication successfully; (iv) confirmation as to accuracy and completeness of such
information, offering materials and projections; (v) participation of Lessee’s senior management in
meetings and conference calls with potential lenders and rating agencies, if applicable, at such
times and places as such Syndication Agent may reasonably request; and (vi) using reasonable
efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit from all existing lending and investor
relationships. Each Syndication Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations
information necessary and customary for the inclusion of any member of Lessor as lead arranger in
league table measurements. The parties agree that all information provided to Lessor from Lessee,
each Guarantor, and any affiliate thereof and/or any third parties acting on behalf of such parties
may be used in the syndication process and a confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit No. 4
shall be executed by any potential participants.

14. NET LEASE; NO SET-OFF, ETC.

     This Agreement is a net lease. Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent and other amounts due hereunder
shall be absolute and unconditional. Lessee shall not be entitled to any abatement or reductions
of, or set-offs against, said Rent or other amounts, including, without limitation, those arising
or allegedly arising out of claims (present or future, alleged or actual, and including claims
arising out of strict tort or negligence of Lessor) of Lessee against Lessor under this

29

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

Agreement
or otherwise. Except as provided in Section 8 hereof, with respect to any Equipment that shall have
suffered a Casualty Occurrence, this Agreement shall not terminate and the
obligations of Lessee shall not be affected by reason of any defect in or damage to, or loss
of possession, use or destruction of, any Equipment from whatsoever cause. It is the intention of
the parties that Rents and other amounts due hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events
in the manner and at the times set forth herein unless the obligation to do so shall have been
terminated pursuant to the express terms hereof.

15. INDEMNIFICATION

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the provisions of this
Section 15 shall be effective on and after the Basic Term Commencement Date.

     (a) Lessee hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, save and keep harmless (on an After-Tax
Basis), Lessor, its Members, any Affiliate of Lessor or any Member, and all agents, directors,
officers, employees, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (each an “Indemnified Party”),
from and against any and all losses, damages, penalties and injuries suffered by such Indemnified
Party, and claims (including any Environmental Loss), actions and suits against such Indemnified
Party, including reasonable legal expenses, of whatsoever kind and nature, in contract or tort,
whether caused by the active or passive negligence of Lessor (other than Lessor’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct) (herein a “Claim”) arising out of or related to this Agreement or any other
Operative Document, the transaction contemplated hereby or the enforcement hereof or related to the
Facility, the Equipment or the Site, including, but not limited to, Lessor’s strict liability in
tort, arising out of the selection, importation, manufacture, purchase, acceptance, operation or
rejection of any or the Equipment, the ownership of the Equipment during the Term, and the
delivery, lease, sublease, possession, maintenance, use, condition, return or operation of the
Equipment (including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by
Lessor or Lessee and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement or Environmental
Loss); provided, that the indemnity set forth in this Section 15(a) shall not be available to the
extent (i) such Claim is attributable to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this
Agreement or any other Operative Document by such Indemnified Party, (ii) such Claim arises and
relates to periods after the later of (x) the termination or expiration of this Agreement or (y)
the return of the Equipment in accordance with the terms hereof or (iii) such claims are for Taxes.

     (b) Lessee hereby represents, warrants and covenants that at no time during the term of
this Agreement will Lessee take or omit to take, nor will it permit any sublessee or assignee to
take or omit to take, any action (whether or not such act or omission is otherwise permitted by
Lessor or by this Agreement), which will result in the disqualification of any Equipment for, or
the recapture or disallowance of, all or any portion of the Tax Benefits.

     (c) If as a result of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Lessee
contained in this Agreement or the Schedule (including part 2 of Section D of Exhibit No. 1 but
excluding part 1 of Section D of Exhibit No. 1) (i) tax counsel of Lessor shall reasonably
determine that Lessor (or any Member) is not entitled to claim on its U.S. Federal income tax
return all or any portion of the Tax Benefits with respect to any Equipment, or (ii) any Tax
Benefit claimed on the U.S. Federal income tax return of Lessor or any Member is disallowed or

30

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service, or (iii) any Tax Benefit is recalculated or recaptured
(any determination, disallowance, adjustment, recalculation or recapture being a “Loss”), then
Lessee shall pay to Lessor or the applicable Member, as an indemnity and as additional Rent,
an amount that shall, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor and each Member, cause each Member’s Net
Economic Return to equal the Net Economic Return that would have been realized by such Member if
such Loss had not occurred. Such amount shall be payable upon demand accompanied by a written
statement from the Lessor or a Member describing in reasonable detail such Loss and the computation
of such amount. If an adjustment has been made under Section 3 then the Effective Rate used in the
next preceding adjustment shall be substituted. If Lessee is obligated to make a tax indemnity
payment to any Member pursuant to this Section 15(c), in lieu of making such payment in a lump sum,
Lessee may elect (with such Member’s consent, it being understood that such Member may withhold its
consent to such election based upon, without limitation, the Lessee’s (or PGI’s) then credit rating
or such Member’s then lending policies) to pay the amount due in a series of equal payments that
will be sufficient to maintain the Net Economic Return of each Member as if such Loss had not
occurred, commencing on the next Rent Payment Date and payable on each Rent Payment Date thereafter
until a date not later than the end of the Term; provided that if the Lease terminates prior to its
scheduled expiration, Lessee shall make a lump sum payment to Lessor or each Member that, in the
reasonable opinion of Lessor and such Member, is sufficient to cause each Member’s Net Economic
Return to equal the Net Economic Return that would have been realized by such Member if such Loss
had not occurred.

     (d) All references to Lessor in this Section 15 include Lessor, each Member, and any
assignees of Lessor or any Member, and (for the purposes of determining whether a Loss has occurred
and any amount due hereunder) the consolidated taxpayer group of which any Member is a member. All
of Lessor’s, each Member’s and each Indemnified Party’s rights, privileges and indemnities
contained in this Section 15 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement.
The rights, privileges and indemnities contained in this Agreement are expressly made for the
benefit of, and shall be enforceable by Lessor, any Member, and the successors and assigns of the
Lessor and any Member, and each Indemnified Party.

     (e) Lessee acknowledges and agrees that there is no employment relationship between Lessor
and the personnel, employees and subcontractors of the Lessee or its Affiliates, and responsibility
for such labor relationship belongs exclusively to the Lessee or its Affiliate in accordance with
the requirements of all Applicable Laws. Lessee or its Affiliate is the “Employer” for all purposes
of United States and Virginia law with respect to all of the employees at Lessee’s service, and
they are the only person benefiting from the services rendered by such employees.

     Lessee represents and warrants that it or its Affiliates has the legal and economic capacity
to comply with its labor obligations, so that it or its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for
all obligations with respect to their respective employees.

     Therefore, in the case of any labor dispute between Lessee and its or its Affiliate’s
personnel, employees and subcontractors, in which, for any reason, Lessor is involved, Lessee shall
release and indemnify Lessor (on an After-Tax Basis) from any kind of claim made against it by any
of Lessee’s or its Affiliate’s personnel, employees and subcontractors, and Lessee shall

31

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

have the
obligation to pay any such amounts as indemnification (severance), and the Lessee hereby releases
Lessor from any responsibility thereof.

     Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses caused by any labor dispute filed
directly or indirectly against Lessee or Lessor or with respect to the Equipment unless such
dispute arises during and relates solely to the period following the later of (i) the termination
or expiration of this Agreement or (ii) the return of the Equipment in accordance with the terms
hereof.

     (f) Lessor and each other Indemnified Party will give Lessee prompt written notice of

          any Claim or claim for which it is entitled indemnity under this Section 15 or any other
provision of this Agreement. Lessee will be entitled to control the defense and settlement of each
such Claim or claim, including the selection of legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor,
provided that Lessee shall have no right to defend or settle any Claim or claim if (1) a Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or (2) such claim would entail significant risk to any
Indemnified Party of any criminal liability; provided further, that no right to compromise or
settle such Claim or claim shall exist unless the Lessee agrees in writing to pay the amount of
such settlement or compromise. Each Indemnified Party will give Lessee and its legal counsel
reasonable assistance in connection with any such defense or settlement, and Lessee will reimburse
the foregoing Persons for their actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing
that assistance. Each Indemnified Party may participate in such defense and settlement at its own
expense using legal counsel it selects, provided that in the event Lessee fails to defend or settle
any Claim or claim, Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding; provided further, that if in the written opinion of counsel to such
Indemnified Party an actual or potential material conflict exists where it is advisable for such
Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel, the reasonable fees and expenses of such
separate counsel shall be paid by the Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 15(f)
shall not apply to any claim for Taxes, or any amount payable pursuant to Section 4 or Section
15(c) hereof.

16. DISCLAIMER

     LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT ANY ASSISTANCE FROM LESSOR, ITS
AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES, AND, UPON LESSEE’S EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THE CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE, IT
ACKNOWLEDGES AND ACCEPTS THE PHYSICAL AND OPERATING STATE OF THE EQUIPMENT AS SATISFACTORY. LESSOR
DOES NOT MAKE, HAS NOT MADE, NOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE OR HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT LEASED
HEREUNDER OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY AS TO DESIGN,
COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY OF MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR
ANY PURPOSE, USE OR OPERATION, SAFETY, PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE.

32

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

All
such risks, as between Lessor and Lessee, are to be borne by Lessee. Without limiting the
foregoing, Lessor shall have no responsibility or liability to Lessee or any other Person with
respect to any of the following: (i) any liability, loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused
directly or indirectly by any Equipment, any inadequacy thereof, any deficiency or defect
(latent or otherwise) therein, or any other circumstance in connection therewith; (ii) the use,
operation or performance of the Equipment or any risks relating thereto; (iii) any interruption of
service, loss of business or anticipated profits or consequential damages, including damages and
lost as rendered by any law or court with jurisdiction in the United States of America or any other
similar concept under Applicable Law; or (iv) the delivery, operation, servicing, maintenance,
repair, improvement or replacement of any Equipment. If, and so long as, no default exists under

pending or unresolved proceeding, investigation or inquiry of which Lessee has been notified
by any Governmental Authority (including without limitation, the EPA or any non-government

material violation of or liability to Lessee or any Guarantor under Environmental Law or
Environmental Permit.

     (xv) The Equipment has been “placed in service” on or prior to the Basic Term
Commencement Date.

     (xvi) Lessee and each Guarantor is (i) in compliance in all material respects with
all applicable laws and regulations relating to (x) the regulations promulgated by the
Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), U.S. Department of the Treasury relating to
dealings with certain persons listed on the publicly available Specially Designated
Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by OFAC, (y) Section 1(b), (c) or (d) of
Executive Order No. 13224 (September 23, 2001) and (z) the prevention and detection of money
laundering violations under the US Bank Secrecy Act (Financial Recordkeeping and Reporting

all regulations promulgated under the BSA and under all published U.S. government guidance,
and (ii) in compliance with all other Applicable Laws the non-compliance with which, with
respect to this clause (ii) only, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

     (xvii) The Virginia Incentives Addendum, Project Gossimer, dated March 2, 2010 (the

force and effect and has not been amended by any party thereto. No

35

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

default or breach by any
party of its obligations under the Incentive Plan has occurred or is continuing.

     (xviii) The rights and interests of Lessor in and to the Equipment and the Facility
are and will be sufficient to enable Lessor, its transferee or assignee or an operator
acting on behalf of Lessor or its transferee or assignee to obtain access to and operate the
Equipment in the Facility, upon such Person’s taking possession of the Equipment, in
commercial operation in substantially the same manner in which it has been operated by
Lessee (excluding access to or use of Proprietary Information and Optional Modifications
that are Severable Modifications). There is no reason to expect that any licenses, permits,
authorizations or approvals of any Governmental Authority or supply, disposal or other
contracts that are required at the time of and after such taking of possession of the
Equipment to enable Lessor or its transferee or assignee or an operator to operate the
Equipment in the Facility in the ordinary course and in compliance with substantially the
same legal requirements as are applicable to Lessee cannot be obtained, renewed or replaced,
as the case may be, by Lessor, such transferee or assignee or an operator, as the case may
be, upon such Person’s taking possession of the Equipment. There is no reason to expect that
licenses and permits which are presently issued by Governmental Authorities with respect to
the Equipment could not be obtained under the same or similar conditions with respect to the
Equipment by Lessor, such transferee, assignee or operator to the extent applicable thereto.
Lessor has and will have sufficient rights to all present and future intellectual property
(including all Included IP, but excluding, in all cases, Proprietary Information) that is
necessary or desirable for operation of the Equipment.

     (xix) Lessee and each Guarantor is in compliance in all material respects with (a)
the Trading with the Enemy Act, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the
United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B Chapter V, as amended) and any other
enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (b) the Patriot Act.

     (b) Lessee hereby covenants and agrees with Lessor that:

     (i) The Equipment will at all times be used for commercial or business purposes,
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

     (ii) Lessee shall maintain a system of identification number tagging on the
Equipment and any significant Part thereof by affixing in a prominent position on the
Equipment (and components thereof) plates, tags or other identifying labels stating (i) that
the Equipment is property of Lessor and (ii) the manufacturer, serial numbers and type and
model thereof as set forth in Annex A to the Schedule.

     (iii) Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, at all times hereinafter shall maintain
and implement at the Site a written environmental, health and safety (“EH&S”) program (“EH&S
Program”) to ensure that Lessee’s operations at the Site are conducted in compliance with
all applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits. The EH&S Program shall involve
senior management, shall include a formal written

36

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

corporate environmental policy, and shall
be directed by the person responsible for Lessee’s EH&S compliance.

     (iv) At Lessor’s request (not more frequently than once in any 12-month period,
unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing), Lessee shall provide Lessor with a
briefing regarding Lessee’s compliance with its EH&S Program and Lessee shall take such
action reasonably requested by Lessor to address any deficiencies noted by Lessor under
Applicable Law.

     (v) Lessee agrees that it shall not (i) establish a new “location” for the purposes
of Section 9-307 of the UCC, (ii) change its chief executive office or its jurisdiction of
organization, (iii) change its name or (iv) do business under any name other than “Chicopee,
Inc.” until it shall have given to the Lessor not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of
its intention so to do, clearly describing such new location, jurisdiction and/or name and
providing such other information in connection therewith as the Lessor may reasonably
request.

     (vi) Lessee has fee simple title to the Site and shall cause fee simple title to
the future expansion parcel referenced in the Site Lease to be granted to it no later than
September 1, 2010.

     (vii) Lessee shall provide, at its sole cost and expense, prior to entering into a
mortgage with respect to the Site, a SNDA, duly executed (and in recordable form) by each
mortgagee, with respect to the Site. Lessee shall maintain each SNDA at all times during the
Term for the estimated useful life of the Equipment. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor 30 days’
prior written notice of any assignment, transfer or sale by Site Lessor of the Site and
Lessee agrees that any assignment of the Site shall be made subject to the terms of the Site
Lease.

     (viii) Lessee shall (i) maintain at all times during the Basic Term an Acceptable
Letter of Credit for the benefit of Lessor with a stated amount not less than the Required
Amount and (ii) maintain at all times until January 28, 2016 a Supplemental Letter of
Credit, in each case in order to secure the Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement. In
the event that any Acceptable Letter of Credit has an expiration or termination date prior
to the Basic Term, Lessee shall replace such Acceptable Letter of Credit with an Acceptable
Letter of Credit in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement no later than thirty
(30) days prior to such expiration or termination date. If (a) a Downgrade Event has
occurred or (b) Lessee shall make a good faith determination that a significant possibility
exists that a Downgrade Event will occur, Lessee, within 30 days of the earliest of (i)
having knowledge of such fact, (ii) reaching such good faith determination or (iii)
receiving notice from Lessor of such fact, shall provide a replacement Acceptable Letter of
Credit. Lessee shall not at any time permit any Liens (other than Lessor’s Liens) to exist
on Lessor’s interest in the Acceptable Letter of Credit or in its rights to enforce payment
thereon.

     (ix) Lessee shall deliver the reports as set forth in Sections 5(b) and 5(e).

37

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

     (x) Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor written notice of any default under any
of the Operative Documents, the Documents or any material contract pertaining to the
Equipment.

     (xi) At all times during the Term, PGI shall control, directly or indirectly, 100%
of the equity interests in Lessee or any successor entity.

     (xii) Lessee shall comply or cause PGI to comply with the financial covenants set
forth in Appendix II of this Agreement.

     (xiii) Lessee shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, remain (i) in compliance in
all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations relating to (x) the
regulations promulgated by OFAC relating to dealings with certain persons listed on the
publicly available Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by
OFAC, (y) Section 1(b), (c) or (d) of Executive Order No. 13224 (September 23, 2001) and (z)
the prevention and detection of money laundering violations under the BSA, under all
regulations promulgated under the BSA and under all published U.S. government guidance, and
(ii) in compliance with all other Applicable Laws the non-compliance with which, with
respect to this clause (ii) only, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

     (c) Lessor hereby represents and warrants to Lessee that on the date hereof and on the
date of execution of the Schedule:

     (i) Lessor is a Delaware limited liability company duly formed and validly existing
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the Lessor’s organizational
identification number is 4821012. Lessor’s EIN is 27-2569352.

     (ii) The Documents to which Lessor is a party have been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by Lessor and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
Operative Documents by each party thereto other than Lessor, constitute valid, legal and
binding obligations, enforceable against Lessor in accordance with their respective terms,
except to the extent that the enforcement of remedies therein provided may be limited under
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

     (iii) Lessor has adequate limited liability company power and authority to enter
into, and perform under, the Documents to which it is a party. The entry into and
performance by Lessor of the Documents will not violate its certificate of formation or
limited liability company agreement.

18. INTENT; TITLE

     (a) It is the express intent of the parties that this Agreement constitute a true lease
and not a sale of the Equipment. It is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto that Lessor is the
legal owner of all of the Equipment. Title to the Equipment shall at all times remain in Lessor,
and Lessee shall acquire no ownership, title, property, right, equity, or interest in the Equipment
other than its leasehold interest solely as Lessee subject to all the terms and conditions hereof.

38

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

The parties agree that the lease is a “Finance Lease” as defined in Uniform Commercial Code Article
2A — Leases (“Article 2A”). Lessee acknowledges: (a) that Lessee has selected the “Supplier” (as
defined in Article 2A) and directed Lessor to purchase the Equipment from the Vendors; (b) that
Lessee has been informed in writing in this Agreement, before signing this
Agreement, that Lessee is entitled under Article 2A to the promises and warranties, including
those of any third party, provided to Lessor by the Vendors in connection with or as part of the
contract by which Lessor acquired the Equipment, and that Lessee may communicate with the Vendor
and receive an accurate and complete statement of those promises and warranties, including any
disclaimers and limitations of them or of remedies. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
Lessee hereby waives any and all rights and remedies conferred upon a lessee in Section 508(5) of
Article 2A; provided, however that such waiver shall not preclude Lessee from asserting any claim
of Lessee against Lessor in a separate cause of action; and provided further that such waiver shall
not affect Lessor’s obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness and care.

     (b) Notwithstanding the express intent of the parties, should a court of competent
jurisdiction determine that this Agreement is not a true lease, but rather one intended as
security, then solely in that event and for the expressly limited purposes thereof, Lessee shall be
deemed to have hereby granted Lessor a security interest in the Equipment, and all accessions
thereto, substitutions and replacements therefor, and proceeds (including insurance proceeds)
thereof (but without power of sale) to secure the prompt payment and performance as and when due of
all obligations and indebtedness of Lessee (or any affiliate of Lessee) to Lessor, now existing or
hereafter created. For the purposes of this paragraph, this Agreement, the Schedule, or a photocopy
of either thereof may be filed as a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code.

convey to Lessee title to the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, free and clear of all Lessor’s
Liens.

time of the notice in the first sentence of paragraph (a) above, then on the date of expiration of
the Term, Lessee shall return the Equipment in full compliance with Section 11 of this Agreement on
or prior to the date of expiration of the Term. If Lessee shall have given the notice provided in
the first sentence of paragraph (a) above, and a Default occurs and is continuing at

39

 

Conformed Copy through Second Amendment dated October 7, 2011

the expiration
of this Agreement, Lessor may elect either to enforce the option exercised by Lessee or demand
return of the Equipment to Lessor in full compliance with Section 11 of this Agreement.

     (c) The Lessee may elect, upon not more than 180 days’ and not less than 90 days’

on such date (excluding any Basic Term Rent scheduled to be paid on such First EBO Date) and Lessor
shall convey to Lessee title to the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, free and clear of all
Lessor’s Liens.

irrevocable written notice to Lessor prior to the Second EBO Date, to purchase on the Second EBO
Date all (but not less than all) of the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS for a purchase price
equal to the Second EBO Price plus all applicable taxes. If Lessee has elected to exercise the
purchase option set forth in this Section 19(d), on the Second EBO Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
in cash the Second EBO Price (plus all applicable taxes) together with any Rent or other sums due
hereunder on such date (excluding any Basic Term Rent scheduled to be paid on such Second EBO Date)
and Lessor shall convey to Lessee title to the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, free and
clear of all Lessor’s Liens.

20. MISCELLANEOUS

     (a) Any cancellation or termination by Lessor, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, the Schedule, supplement or amendment hereto, or the lease of the Equipment hereunder,
shall not release Lessee from any then outstanding obligations to Lessor hereunder.

     (b) Lessor’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Lessee of any of the
provisions hereof shall not waive or diminish Lessor’s right thereafter to demand strict compliance
therewith.

     (c) Lessee agrees, upon receiving Lessor’s written request, to execute any instrument
necessary for filing, recording or perfecting the interest of Lessor, and to execute and deliver to
Lessor such further documents, instruments and assurances and to take such further action as Lessor
from time to time reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and purpose of the
transaction contemplated hereunder.

     (d) All notices, consents, directions, approvals, instructions, requests, demands, and
other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing, personally
delivered, delivered by overnight courier service, sent by facsimile transmission (with

compliance (together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate) shall constitute Supplemental Rent

     (j) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any

arbitrator shall be appointed upon their application or upon the application of either party to the
American Arbitration Association, or any organization that is a successor thereto, from a panel of

     (2) to the extent not otherwise included, any obligation by such Person to be liable for, or

ordinary course of business; and

     (3) to the extent not otherwise included, the obligations of the type referred to in clause
(1) of a third Person secured by a Lien on any asset owned by such first Person, whether or not

D. Tax Benefits, Assumptions and Representations.

     Part 1. Tax Benefits and Assumptions

          The Net Economic Return of the Lessor and each Member was computed based, in part, on the
assumption that the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents will have the following
consequences for United States Federal and state and local income tax purposes:

     (a) Provided that no election to treat the Lessor as a corporation has been made, and provided
neither Lessor nor any Member takes any action to cause the tax treatment of the Lessor to change,
the Lessor will be treated as a partnership and the Members will be treated as

Exhibit 1-2

 

the only partners therein, and each Member will be entitled and required to take into account,
in computing its taxable income, its distributive share (based on the allocations of such items
between each Member as set forth in the LLC Agreement of the Lessor) of all items of income, gain,
loss, or deduction with respect to the Equipment and the Lease.

     (b) Lessor will be treated as the owner of the Equipment as of the date purchased, and the
Lease will be treated as a “true lease,” such that the Lessor will be treated as lessor and the
lessee will be treated as the lessee of the Equipment.

     (c) The Lessor will be entitled to cost recovery deductions pursuant to Section 168(b) of the
Code with respect to one hundred percent of the Lessor’s Tax Basis commencing on the date the
entire Equipment is “placed in service” for purposes of section 168 of the Code, computed on the
basis that all of the Equipment is “7-year property” within the meaning of section 168(c) of the
Code, resulting in deductions in each of the years set out below equal to the percentages of the
Equipment Cost set out below (provided that neither Lessor nor any Member makes any election to
exclude such treatment):

	 	 	 	 	 

	2011

	 	 	14.29	%
	2012

	 	 	24.49	%
	2013

	2016

	 	 	8.92	%
	2017

	 	 	8.93	%
	2018

	 	 	4.46	%

     (d) The Lessor will be entitled to deductions for the amortization of 100% Lessor’s
Transaction Costs computed on a straight-line basis over the Term of the Lease.

     (e) Each Member will at all times be subject to income tax at a Federal income tax rate of 35%
and state and local income tax rate of 7%, for a combined rate of 39.55%.

     (f) Lessor will not be required to report any income during the term of the Lease, other than
Basic Term Rent for the periods to which it is allocated under the last sentence of Section 2(a) of
the Agreement, any payment of Stipulated Loss Value on the date payable in accordance with the
Lease, or the payment of purchase price by Lessee in connection with the exercise by Lessee of a
purchase option under the Lease.

     Part 2. Lessee Representations and Warranties

     In order to induce the Lessor and each Member to enter into the transactions contemplated by
the Operative Agreements, the Lessee hereby represents, warrants to, and covenants with the Lessor
and each Member that:

(a) On the Basic Term Commencement Date, the Equipment (and each component thereof)
constitutes “7-year property” as defined in section 168(e) of the Code, and on such date the entire
Equipment will be “placed in service” for purposes of section 168 of the Code;

Exhibit 1-3

 

     (b) The Equipment on the Basic Term Commencement Date constitutes an “integrated facility”,
which means that the Equipment as designed and constructed is a fully-integrated and self-contained
facility, and each component of the Equipment is interrelated to each other component of the
Equipment in function and design, and no component is designed or intended for use in commercial
operation independently of the other components;

     (c) On the Basic Term Commencement Date, the Equipment will not require any improvements,
modifications or additions in order for the Equipment to be rendered complete for its intended use
by the Lessee (other than ancillary items of equipment of a kind not necessary for the Equipment to
operate and be treated as placed in service);

     (d) Taking into account the Site Lease and Support Agreement, the use of the Equipment by a
person (other than the Lessee or any affiliate of the Lessee) at the end of the Term of the Lease
is reasonably expected to be commercially feasible (where such determination is made based on the
standards that would be applied by reasonably prudent businessmen on the basis of present knowledge
and generally accepted engineering standards), such that the Equipment is not and will not be
treated as “limited use” property for purposes of Rev. Proc. 2001-28;

     (e) All information supplied by the Lessee or any Affiliate or agent of the Lessee to the
Lessor, any Member (or any Affiliate of any Member), any independent appraiser or engineer or any
independent counsel with respect to the description, nature, function, testing and cost of the
Equipment, and with respect to the state of readiness of the Equipment when delivered and accepted
under the Lease, including, but not limited to, facts relating to its intended use, economic life
and residual value, was complete and accurate at the time given and as of the Basic Term
Commencement Date;

     (f) The remaining useful life of the Equipment at the end of the Basic Term is reasonably
expected to be at least 20% of its original useful life as of the Basic Term Commencement Date, and
the Equipment is reasonably expected to have a fair market value of at least 20% of the Equipment
Cost (exclusive of the effects of inflation or deflation) at the end of the Basic Term;

     (g) The Lessee will not construct or install on the Equipment any component, improvement,
alteration or addition, unless such construction or installation will not adversely affect the
status of the Lease as a true lease for federal and state income tax purposes or otherwise result
in the Lessor or any Member being required to include an amount in gross income for federal or
state income tax purposes;

     (h) Neither the Lessee nor any Affiliate of the Lessee will take a position on any tax return,
amended tax return or claim for refund or in connection with the examination of any such return
which is inconsistent with the intentions of the Lessor as set out in Section 1 hereof, and the
Lessee will take such action and execute such documents as the Lessor may reasonably request to
establish and protect the Lessor’s and each Member’s entitlement to such benefits;

     (i) On the Basic Term Commencement Date, the Equipment (and each component thereof) is not
property described in section 168(g)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Code, and at no

Exhibit 1-4

 

time during the Term of the Lease will the Equipment (or any component thereof) become
property described in section 168(g)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Code, other than as the result
of any action by the Lessor or any Member;

     (j) The Lessor shall not be required to include in gross income for Federal or state income
tax purposes (including as a result of any recapture of MACRS deductions or corresponding state
deductions) at any time during the Term any amount as a result of (A) any modification,
replacement, maintenance or repairs with respect to the Equipment; or (B) any agreement between the
Lessee and any supplier, vendor, contractor, engineer or manufacturer;

     (k) The Equipment is separate and distinct from any other equipment owned by the Lessee or any
other Person (other than the Lessor) and located on the Site (“Lessee’s Equipment”), and is fully
operable by a separate owner or operator, independent of the Lessee’s Equipment;

     (l) Neither the physical attributes of the Equipment, any purchase price available to the
Lessee under the Lease, the return conditions and requirement set forth in the Lease, the costs to
and potential obligations of the Lessee under the Operative Agreements in the event the Lessee does
not exercise any purchase option, the close proximity and common housing of the Equipment and the
Lessee’s Equipment, the Basic Rent due under the Lease after any purchase option date, nor any
other factor known to the Lessee would created a material inducement to (or economically compel)
the Lessee to exercise any of the purchase options set forth in the Lease; and

     (m) The close proximity and common housing of the Equipment and the Lessee’s Equipment does
not and will not have any adverse effect on the ability of the Lessor to realize the full
anticipated residual value of the Equipment.

E. Term and Rent.

     (a) Basic Term Rent. Commencing on the Basic Term Commencement Date and monthly thereafter on
the corresponding day which is one month later during the Basic Term (for a total of 84 installment
payments of Rent), Lessee shall pay as Rent for the Equipment (“Basic Term Rent”) the product of
the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor for the applicable Rent Payment Date (as defined below) times the
Capitalized Lessor’s Cost of the Equipment on this Schedule. Rent shall be allocated and accrued
for use of the Equipment for federal income tax purposes to the one month period beginning on the
date such Rent is scheduled to be paid. Each date for the payment of Rent during the Basic Term is
herein referred to as a “Rent Payment Date.”

     (b) If any Rent Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Rent otherwise due on such date shall
be payable on the immediately preceding Business Day.

     (c) On the Change Date, the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor shall be adjusted, up or down, in the
event that the 3-year US dollar fixed interest rate swap (vs. 90-day Libor), as determined by
Bloomberg Screen IRSB18 (Ask Rate), as of 11 AM two business days prior to the Change Date is other
than 1.60%. Such Basic Term Lease Rate Factor will be adjusted as follows:

Exhibit 1-5

 

     (i) The “Adjusted Lease Rate Factor” will be calculated so that Lessor’s nominal
pre-tax yield, calculated from the Change Date through the end of the Basic Term, shall be
increased or decreased by an amount equal to: (A) the 3 year US dollar fixed interest rate
swap (vs. 90-day Libor), as determined by Bloomberg Screen IRSB18 (Ask Rate), as of 11 AM
two business days prior to the Change Date, less (B) 1.60%; and

     (ii) The “New Basic Term Lease Rate Factor” will be equal to (C) the Adjusted Lease
Rate Factor plus (D) the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor in effect prior to the Change Date,
with the sum of C and D to be divided by 2. This Schedule shall be amended to replace the
value listed for the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor with the New Basic Term Lease Rate Factor,
and such adjustment shall be effective from the Change Date through the end of the Basic
Term.

     This Schedule is not binding or effective with respect to the Agreement or Equipment until
executed on behalf of Lessor and Lessee by authorized representatives of Lessor and Lessee,
respectively.

ADDRESS

Re: Confidentiality Letter

Dear _______:

     [ ] (“Investor”) is entering into discussions with Gossamer Holdings, LLC (the “Company”)
concerning the financing of a 5 beam composite spunmelt nonwoven production line manufactured,
primarily by, and purchased from Reifenhäuser REICOFIL GmbH & Co. KG and other vendors (together
with related equipment, as applicable) located at 1020 Shenandoah Village Drive, Waynesboro,
Virginia, 22980-9292 (the “Financing”). In connection therewith, the Company will provide Investor
with certain “Confidential Information” (as defined below) pursuant to the terms hereof.

     “Confidential Information” means (i) any written or oral information provided by or through
the Company in connection with the Financing relating to the business, finances, operations or
affairs of the Company (other than information described in paragraph (c) below) and (ii) the fact
that discussions or investigations with respect to the Financing are taking place.

     Investor will maintain as confidential any Confidential Information using the same standard of
care as it uses in protecting its own confidential information of a similar nature and otherwise on
the following terms and conditions and will only use Confidential Information to evaluate the
Financing:

     (a) Investor may disclose Confidential Information on a confidential, “need-to-know” basis to
its and its affiliates’ employees, officers, directors and agents (including attorneys)
(“Representatives”) in connection with the Financing, but Investor shall direct each Representative
to treat the Confidential Information confidentially. Such persons and entities will not be deemed
Representatives hereunder unless (and solely to the extent that) Investor furnishes such
information to such persons or entities.

     (b) Investor may disclose without liability any Confidential Information if such disclosure is
(i) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the interest of Investor or
an affiliate in the Financing (including to a rating agency) so long as such Confidential
Information is disclosed to the recipient thereof (other than any rating agency) subject to
confidentiality provisions substantially the same terms as those hereof or (ii)

     reasonably believed by it to be compelled or required by any law, court decree, subpoena,
legal or administrative order or process, or legitimate request of any governmental agency or
authority (collectively, an “Order”). Unless prohibited by the terms of an Order, Investor shall

Exhibit 4-1

 

 

notify the Company of the receipt of any such Order and shall reasonably cooperate, at the
Company’s expense, with any attempt by the Company to obtain an appropriate protective order.

     (c) Investor shall not be precluded from disclosing or using any Confidential Information, (i)
which was in its or one of its affiliate’s possession prior to any disclosure by the Company on a
non-confidential basis, (ii) which is publicly available through no fault or breach by Investor or
any person or entity to whom Investor discloses any Confidential Information, (iii) which becomes
available to Investor from sources not known by it after reasonable inquiry to be subject to
disclosure restrictions, or (iv) which is independently developed by Investor or its
Representatives.

     (d) Any Confidential Information shall be upon the Company’s written request, either returned
or destroyed; however, Investor shall not be required to expunge from its records internally
generated documents (including electronic copies) containing Confidential Information which it
maintains under its normal record retention policy, but Investor shall continue to maintain as
confidential all such documents pursuant to the terms of this agreement.

     Except for the maintenance of confidentiality on the above terms, the commencement of
discussions shall not create any other obligation either (i) to or of the Company of any kind, or
(ii) to or of Investor of any kind, and no such obligation can be created except by a duly
authorized, executed and delivered written agreement. This agreement shall remain effective for a
term of 18 months from the last disclosure of Confidential Information to Investor hereunder. This
agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
(without regard to its conflicts of law provisions).

     In the event that Investor acquires an equity interest in the Company, on and after the date
of such acquisition, this Confidentiality Letter shall be superseded and replaced by the terms of
Section 22 of that certain Equipment Lease Agreement dated as of June 24, 2010 among Chicopee, Inc.
as lessee and the Company as lessor.
