 AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 This Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) dated March 31, 2006, is entered into by and between Wachovia Bank,
National Association, a national banking association, and as successor by merger to Congress Financial Corporation (“Lender”) and Optical Cable Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“Borrower”). 
 BACKGROUND 
 A. On April 18, 2002,
Borrower and Lender entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement (together with all subsequent amendments, modifications, restatements, addenda, and supplements thereto, the “Original Loan Agreement”) and other Financing Agreements,
as that term is defined in the Original Loan Agreement. 
 B. The parties have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to extend the
term of the financing under the Original Loan Agreement and to further modify and amend certain provisions of the Original Loan Agreement, and in connection therewith to restate, as amended, all of the terms and conditions of the Original Loan
Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree that the Original Loan Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: 
 SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS. 
 All terms used herein
which are defined in Article 1 or Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”), as revised and in effect from time to time in the State of New York, shall have the meanings given therein unless otherwise defined in this Agreement. All
references to the plural herein shall also mean the singular and to the singular shall also mean the plural unless the context otherwise requires. All references to Borrower and Lender pursuant to the definitions set forth in the recitals hereto, or
to any other person herein, shall include their respective successors and assigns. The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder”, “this Agreement” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall
refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular provision of this Agreement and as this Agreement now exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced. An Event of Default shall exist or
continue or be continuing until such Event of Default is waived in accordance with Section 11.3 or is cured in a manner satisfactory to Lender, if such Event of Default is capable of being cured as determined by Lender. Any accounting term used
herein unless otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings customarily given to such term in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the respective meanings given to them below: 

1.1. “Account Debtor” shall mean any person obligated on an Account. 
 1.2. “Account” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the UCC. 

 1.3. “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” shall mean, with respect to each Interest Period for any
Eurodollar Rate Loan, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next one-sixteenth (1/16) of one (1.0%) percent) determined by dividing (a) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period by (b) a percentage equal
to: (i) one (1) minus (ii) the Reserve Percentage. For purposes hereof, “Reserve Percentage” shall mean the reserve percentage, expressed as a decimal, prescribed by any United States or foreign banking authority for
determining the reserve requirement which is or would be applicable to deposits of United States dollars in a non-United States or an international banking office of Reference Bank used to fund a Eurodollar Rate Loan or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made
with the proceeds of such deposit, whether or not the Reference Bank actually holds or has made any such deposits or loans. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be adjusted on and as of the effective day of any change in the Reserve Percentage.

 1.4. “Adjusted Net Worth” shall mean as to Borrower, at any time, in accordance with GAAP (except as otherwise specifically set
forth below), on a consolidated basis for such Person and its subsidiaries (if any), the amount equal to (a) the difference between: (i) the aggregate net book value of all tangible assets of such Person and its subsidiaries, calculating
the book value of inventory for this purpose on a first-in-first-out basis, after deducting from such book values all appropriate reserves in accordance with GAAP (including all reserves for doubtful receivables, obsolescence, depreciation and
amortization and excluding gains or losses from any of the retirement plans of Borrower) and (ii) the aggregate amount of the indebtedness and other liabilities of such Person and its subsidiaries (including tax and other proper accruals but
excluding deferred taxes and excluding non-cash charges as to stock options); plus (b) indebtedness of such Person or its subsidiaries which is subordinated in right of payment to the full and final payment of all of the Obligations or
terms and conditions acceptable to Lender. 
 1.5. “Applicable Eurodollar Margin” shall mean a marginal rate of interest which is
added to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate to determine the effective Interest Rate on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Applicable Eurodollar Margin on Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be three percent (3.00%). 
 1.6. “Applicable Margin” shall mean a marginal rate of interest which is added to the Base Rate to determine the effective Interest Rate on
Base Rate Loans. The Applicable Margin shall be one-half of one percent (.50%). 
 1.7. “Availability Reserves” shall mean, as of
any date of determination, such amounts as Lender may from time to time establish and revise in good faith reducing the amount of Revolving Loans which would otherwise be available to Borrower under the lending formula(s) provided for herein:
(a) to reflect events, conditions, contingencies or risks which, as determined by Lender in good faith, do or may affect either (i) the Collateral or any other property which is security for the Obligations or its value, (ii) the
assets, business or prospects of Borrower or any Obligor or (iii) the security interests and other rights of Lender in the Collateral (including the enforceability, perfection and priority thereof) or (b) to reflect Lender’s good
faith belief that any collateral report or financial information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower or any Obligor to Lender is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect or (c) in respect of any state of
facts which Lender determines in good faith constitutes an Event of Default or may, with passage of time or giving of notice, or both, constitute an Event of Default. 
  

 2

 1.10. “Blocked Accounts” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6.3 hereof. 
 1.11. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which commercial banks are authorized or required to

 1.12. “Capital Expenditures” shall mean, as applied to any Person for any period,

accordance with GAAP, incurred during that period), made by that Person during such period in respect of the purchase, construction or other acquisition of fixed or capital assets, determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 1.13. “Change of Control” shall mean, after the closing date of this Agreement, the acquisition by any Person, either individually or acting in

stock of Borrower entitled to vote in the election of members of the Board of Directors of Borrower. As used herein, the term “beneficially own” or “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning set forth in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 1.14. “Code” shall mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as the same now exists or may from time to time hereafter be amended, modified, re-codified or supplemented, together with all rules, regulations and interpretations thereunder or related thereto.

upon the Real Property.

Agreements, a rate equal to (a) the sum of (i) two percent (2.0%) per annum and (ii) the Interest Rate otherwise in effect with respect to such amounts, or, (b) if no such Interest Rate is otherwise in effect with respect to

(A) the dilution with respect to the Accounts for any period (based on the ratio of the (i) aggregate amount of reductions in Accounts other than as a result of payments in cash to (ii) the aggregate amount of total sales) has

on May 1, 2006, and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter until the first MERE Adjustment Date, the MERE Sublimit shall be decreased by an amount equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). 
 (b) On or after October 18, 2006, Borrower may request that Lender reset the MERE Sublimit based upon a Collateral appraisal of Eligible Equipment
and the Real Property 
  

 11 

 conducted by Lender, subject to the terms hereof. So long as (a) Borrower’s average Excess Availability for the
most recently ended fiscal quarter exceeds Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), (b) no Event of Default has occurred, or event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and (c) Borrower’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than 1.20 to 1, on the first day of the calendar month following such determinations (each a “MERE Adjustment Date”) Lender shall, at the request of Borrower,
increase the MERE Sublimit to an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of eighty percent (80%) of the then net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Equipment (as reasonably determined by Lender) plus sixty percent (60%) of the
then fair market value of the Real Property (as reasonably determined by Lender) and (ii) Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). Lender shall reset the MERE Sublimit within a reasonable period of time after Lender’s receipt of such appraisals
and receipt of such information required by Lender, in its reasonable discretion.. 
 (c) (i) Commencing the first day of the first
month after each MERE Adjustment Date, the MERE Sublimit, as adjusted from time to time, shall be reduced on the first day of each calendar month during the applicable MERE Adjustment Period by an amount equal to one sixtieth (1/60) of the MERE
Sublimit as determined on the MERE Adjustment Date of such MERE Adjustment Period; and 
 (ii) On an annual basis, upon Lender’s
receipt of the annual audited financial statements of Borrower, the MERE Sublimit shall be further reduced by an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of Free Cash Flow. 
 (d) For purposes of this Section 2.3, Lender shall not be required to rely upon an Equipment appraisal greater than thirty (30) days old or a
Real Property appraisal greater that one (1) year old and if Borrower has requested that the MERE Sublimit be reset pursuant to this Section 2.3, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, at Lender’s reasonable request, a written statement
from the appraiser of the Real Property that it is not aware of any circumstances which would materially and adversely affect its most recent appraisal. 
 SECTION 3. INTEREST AND FEES. 
 3.1. Interest.  
 (a) Borrower shall pay to Lender for Lender interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations at the Interest Rate, except that Borrower
shall pay to Lender for Lender interest, at Lender’s option, without notice, at the Default Rate: (i) on the Obligations for the period from and after the date of termination or non-renewal hereof, or the date of the occurrence of an Event
of Default, and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing as determined by Lender and until such time as Lender has received full and final payment of all Obligations (notwithstanding any entry of judgment against the Borrower); and
(ii) on the Revolving Loans at any time outstanding in excess of the amounts available to Borrower under Section 2 (whether or not such excess(es), arise or are made with or without Lender’s knowledge or consent and whether made
before or after an Event of Default). Borrower acknowledges that: (i) such additional rate is a material inducement to Lender to extend the Revolving Loans; (ii) Lender would not extend the Revolving Loans in the absence of the agreement
of Borrower to pay such additional rate; (iii) such additional rate represents compensation for increased risk to Lender that the Revolving Loans will not be repaid; and (iv) such rate is not a penalty and represents a reasonable

  

 12 

 estimate of (a) the cost to Lender in allocating their resources (both personnel and financial) to the ongoing
review, monitoring, administration and collection of the Revolving Loans and (b) compensation to Lender for losses that are difficult to ascertain. All interest accruing hereunder on and after the occurrence of any of the events referred to in
Sections 3.1(a)(i) and 3.1 (a)(ii) above shall be payable in demand. 
 (b) Borrower may from time to time request that a Loan be a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, that a Base Rate Loans be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or that any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request from Borrower shall specify the amount of a Eurodollar Rate Loan,
or of the Base Rate Loans which will be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, three
(3) Business Days after receipt by Lender of such a request from Borrower, such Base Rate Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall continue as Eurodollar Rate Loans as of the end of such Interest
Period, as the case may be, provided, that, (i) no Event of Default exists, or event which with passage of time would constitute an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no party hereto shall have
sent any notice of termination or non-renewal of this Agreement, (iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as are established by Lender and specified by Lender to Borrower from time to time for requests by Borrower for
Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) no more than five (5) Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time, (v) the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans must be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or an
integral multiple of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in excess thereof, (vi) the maximum amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans at any time requested by Borrower shall not exceed the amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the lowest
principal amount of the Revolving Loans which it is anticipated will be outstanding during the applicable Interest Period, in each case as determined by Lender (but with no obligation of Lender to make such Revolving Loans); and (vii) Lender
shall have determined that the Interest Period or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is available to Lender through the Reference Bank and can be readily determined as of the date of the request for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by Borrower. Any request by
Borrower to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender and Reference Bank shall not be required to
purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable Eurodollar Rate market to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Lender and Reference Bank had purchased such
deposits to fund the Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (c) Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Base Rate Loans upon the last day
of the applicable Interest Period, unless Lender has received and approved a request to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall, at Lender’s option, upon notice by Lender to Borrower, convert to Base Rate Loans in the event that (i) an Event of Default exists or event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of
Default, shall exist, (ii) this Agreement shall terminate or not be renewed, or (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Base Rate Loans which have previously been converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or existing Eurodollar Rate Loans
continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, or (B) the sum of the then outstanding principal
amount of the Revolving Loans then available to Borrower under Section 2 hereof. 
  

 13 

 Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon demand by Lender (or Lender may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrower)
any amounts required to compensate Lender, the Reference Bank or any participant with Lender for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to
Base Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing. 
 (d) Interest shall be payable by Borrower to Lender monthly in arrears not later than
the first day of each calendar month and shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. The interest rate on Obligations shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase or
decrease in the Base Rate effective on the first day of the month after any change in such Base Rate is announced based on the Base Rate in effect on the last day of the month in which any such change occurs. In no event shall charges constituting
interest payable by Borrower to Lender exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, and if any such part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, such part or
provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto.

advance on the date hereof and on the first day of each month hereafter. 
 3.4. Unused Line Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly
an unused line fee at a rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum calculated upon the amount by which $13,000,000 exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans during the immediately preceding month
(or part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding, which fee shall be payable on the first day of each month in arrears. 
 3.5. Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Loans. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, upon notice by Lender to Borrower, convert to Base Rate Loans in the event that (i) any change in applicable law or
regulation (or the interpretation or administration thereof) shall either (A) make it unlawful for Lender, Reference Bank or any participant to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans or to comply with the terms hereof in connection with the
Eurodollar Rate Loans, or (B) shall result in the increase in the costs to Lender, Reference Bank or any participant of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, or (C) reduce the amounts
received or receivable by Lender in respect thereof, by an amount deemed by Lender to be material or (ii) the cost to Lender, Reference Bank or any participant of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall otherwise increase by an
amount deemed by Lender to be material. Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon demand by Lender (or Lender may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrower) any amounts required to compensate Lender, the Reference Bank or any participant with
Lender for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person as a result of the foregoing, including, without limitation, 
  

 14 

 any such loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired
by such person to make or maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof. A certificate of Lender setting forth the basis for the determination of such amount necessary to compensate Lender as aforesaid shall be delivered to Borrower and
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If any payments or prepayments in respect of the Eurodollar Rate Loans are received by
Lender other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (whether pursuant to acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise), including any payments pursuant to the application of collections under Section 6.3 or any other payments made
with the proceeds of Collateral, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand by Lender (or Lender may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrower) any amounts required to compensate Lender, the Reference Bank or any participant with Lender for
any additional loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person as a result of such prepayment or payment, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such person to make or maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof.

bank account of Lender as Lender may from time to time designate for such purpose (“Payment Account”). Borrower agrees that all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Lender, whether on the Accounts
or as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall be the property of Lender for so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding and shall be held or applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) For purposes of calculating the amount of the Loans available to Borrower, such payments will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the
Obligations on the Business Day of receipt by Lender of immediately available funds in the Payment Account provided such 
  

 18 

 payments and notice thereof are received in accordance with Lender’s usual and customary practices as in effect from
time to time and within sufficient time to credit Borrower’s loan account on such day, and if not, then on the next Business Day. For the purposes of calculating interest on the Obligations, such payments or other funds received will be applied
(conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations one (1) Business Day following the date of receipt of immediately available funds by Lender in the Payment Account provided such payments or other funds and notice thereof are received in
accordance with Lender’s usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time and within sufficient time to credit Borrower’s loan account on such day, and if not, then on the next Business Day. 
 (c) Borrower and all of its affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, employees or Lenders shall, acting as trustee for Lender, receive, as the
property of Lender, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral which come into their possession or under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or
cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Lender. In no event shall the same be commingled with Borrower’s own funds. Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender on demand
for any amounts owed or paid to any bank at which a Blocked Account is established or any other bank or person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Lender’s payments to or indemnification of such bank
or person. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for such amounts pursuant to the prior sentence of this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. 
 (d) At Lender’s request, Borrower shall cause that portion of the proceeds of Collateral representing sales and/or use taxes payable in connection
with sales or otherwise, to be deposited into a separate bank account or accounts established for such purpose. In no event shall the same be commingled with Borrower’s own funds. Borrower shall provide Lender on a monthly basis with evidence
of collection and remittance of sales and/or use taxes. 
 6.4. Payments. All Obligations shall be payable to the Payment Account as
provided in Section 6.3 or such other place as Lender may designate from time to time. Lender may apply payments received or collected from Borrower or for the account of Borrower (including, without limitation, the monetary proceeds of
collections or of realization upon any Collateral) to such of the Obligations under this Agreement, whether or not then due, in such order and manner as Lender determines. At Lender’s option, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and
other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of Borrower. Borrower shall make all payments to Lender on the Obligations free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of, any setoff, counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind. If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the
payment of, any of the Obligations, Lender is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. Borrower shall be liable to pay to Lender, and does hereby indemnify and hold Lender harmless for the amount of any payments or
proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 6.4 shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 6.4 shall survive the payment of the
Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. 
  

 19 

 6.5. Authorization to Make Loans. Lender is authorized to make the Loans based upon telephonic or
other instructions received from anyone purporting to be any of the authorized officers or representatives of Borrower identified on Schedule 6.5 hereto (as said Schedule 6.5 may be amended or revised from time to time) or, at
the discretion of Lender, if such Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations. All requests for Loans hereunder shall specify the date on which the requested advance is to be made (which day shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the
requested Loan. Requests received after 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on any day shall be deemed to have been made as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. All Loans under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to
have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, Borrower when deposited to the credit of Borrower or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of Borrower or in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. 
 6.6. Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the initial proceeds of the Loans provided by Lender to Borrower
hereunder only for: (a) payments to each of the persons listed in the disbursement direction letter furnished by Borrower to Lender on or about the date hereof and (b) costs, expenses and fees in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. All other Loans made by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by Borrower only for general operating, working capital and other
proper corporate purposes of Borrower not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof. None of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring
any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended. 
 SECTION 7. COLLATERAL REPORTING AND COVENANTS. 
 7.1. Collateral Reporting. Borrower shall provide Lender with the following documents in a form satisfactory to Lender: (a) on a regular basis
as required by Lender, a schedule of Accounts, sales made, credits issued and cash received; (b) on a bi-weekly basis or more frequently as Lender may request, (i) perpetual inventory reports, (ii) inventory reports by category and

reports on sales and use tax collections, deposits and payments, including monthly sales and use tax accruals; and (e) such other reports as to the Collateral as Lender shall request from time to time. If any of Borrower’s records or
reports of the Collateral are prepared or maintained by an accounting service, contractor, shipper or other Lender, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes such service, contractor, shipper or Lender at any time that an Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing to deliver such records, reports, and related documents to Lender and to follow Lender’s instructions with respect to further services. 
  

 20 

 7.2. Accounts Covenants. 
 (a) Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of: (i) any material delay in Borrower’s performance of any of its obligations to any Account Debtor
or the assertion of any claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims by any Account Debtor, or any disputes with Account Debtors, or any settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof, (ii) all material adverse information relating to the financial
condition of any Account Debtor and (iii) any event or circumstance which, to Borrower’s knowledge would cause Lender to consider any then existing Accounts as no longer constituting Eligible Accounts. No credit, discount, allowance or
extension or agreement for any of the foregoing shall be granted to any Account Debtor without Lender’s consent, except in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business in accordance with practices and policies previously disclosed in writing
to Lender. So long as no Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with any Account Debtor. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing, Lender shall, at its option, have the exclusive right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with Account Debtors or grant any credits, discounts or allowances. 
 (b) Without limiting the obligation of Borrower to deliver any other information to Lender, Borrower shall promptly report to Lender any return of
Inventory by any one Account Debtor if the inventory so returned in such case has a sales price in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). At any time that Inventory is returned, reclaimed or repossessed, the related Account shall not be deemed
an Eligible Account. In the event any Account Debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, (i) hold the returned Inventory in trust for Lender,
(ii) segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other property, (iii) dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to Lender’s instructions, and (iv) not issue any credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto
without Lender’s prior written consent. 
 (c) With respect to each Account: (i) the amounts shown on any invoice delivered to
Lender or schedule thereof delivered to Lender shall be true and complete, (ii) no payments shall be made thereon except payments immediately delivered to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) no credit, discount, allowance
or extension or agreement for any of the foregoing shall be granted to any Account Debtor except as reported to Lender in accordance with this Agreement and except for credits, discounts, allowances or extensions made or given in the ordinary course
of Borrower’s business in accordance with practices and policies previously disclosed to Lender, (iv) there shall be no setoffs, deductions, contras, defenses, counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto except as
reported to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (v) none of the transactions giving rise thereto will violate any applicable State or Federal laws or regulations, all documentation relating thereto will be legally sufficient
under such laws and regulations and all such documentation will be legally enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
 (d) Lender shall have
the right at any time or times, in Lender’s name or in the name of a nominee of Lender, to verify the validity, amount, offsets, chargebacks and claims and any other matter relating to any Account or other Collateral, by mail, telephone,
facsimile transmission or otherwise. 
 (e) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender, with appropriate endorsement and
assignment, with full recourse to Borrower, all chattel paper and instruments which Borrower now owns or may at any time acquire immediately upon Borrower’s receipt thereof, except as Lender may otherwise agree. 
  

 21 

 (f) Lender may, at any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing,
(i) notify any or all Account Debtors that the Accounts have been assigned to Lender and that Lender has a security interest therein and Lender may direct any or all accounts debtors to make payment of Accounts directly to Lender,
(ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Accounts or other obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge
or release the Account Debtor or any other party or parties in any way liable for payment thereof without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Accounts or such other obligations, but without any duty
to do so, and Lender shall not be liable for its failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its Lenders or attorneys with respect thereto and (iv) take whatever other action Lender may deem necessary or
desirable for the protection of its interests. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at Lender’s request, all invoices and statements sent to any Account Debtor shall state that the Accounts and such
other obligations have been assigned to Lender and are payable directly and only to Lender and Borrower shall deliver to Lender such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any
Accounts as Lender may require. 
 7.3. Inventory Covenants. With respect to the Inventory: (a) Borrower shall at all times
maintain inventory records reasonably satisfactory to Lender, keeping correct and accurate records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality and quantity of Inventory, Borrower’s cost therefor and daily withdrawals and drawdowns
therefrom and additions thereto; (b) Borrower shall conduct a physical count of the Inventory at least once each year, but at any time or times as Lender may request on or after an Event of Default, and promptly following such physical
inventory shall supply Lender with a report in the form and with such specificity as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender concerning such physical count; (c) Borrower shall not remove any Inventory from the locations set forth or permitted
herein (other than Inventory received for testing or delivered as samples with a Value not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate per annum), without the prior written consent of Lender, except for sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of
Borrower’s business and except to move Inventory directly from one location set forth or permitted herein to another such location; (d) subject to limitation on expenses set forth in Section 9.15 hereof, Borrower shall, at its
expense, at least once every six (6) months, but at any time or times as Lender may request on or after an Event of Default, deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender written reports or appraisals as to the Inventory in form, scope and
methodology acceptable to Lender and by an appraiser acceptable to Lender, addressed to Lender or upon which Lender is expressly permitted to rely; (e) Borrower shall produce, use, store and maintain the Inventory with all reasonable care and
caution and in accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity with applicable laws (including the requirements of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended and all rules, regulations and orders related
thereto); (f) Borrower assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the production, use, sale or other disposition of the Inventory; (g) Borrower shall not sell Inventory to any customer on approval, or any other
basis which entitles the customer to return or may obligate Borrower to repurchase such Inventory; (h) Borrower shall keep the Inventory in good and marketable condition; (i) Borrower shall not, without prior written notice to Lender,
acquire or accept any inventory on consignment or approval except pursuant to processing or tolling agreements; and (j) Borrower shall not commingle Inventory with goods or materials of customers or other third parties. 
  

 22 

 7.4. Equipment and Real Property Covenants. With respect to the Equipment: (a) subject to
limitation on expenses set forth in Section 9.15 hereof, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall, at its expense, at any time or times as Lender may request, deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender written reports or appraisals as to the
Equipment and the Real Property in form, scope and methodology acceptable to Lender and by an appraiser acceptable to Lender; (b) Borrower shall keep the Equipment in good order, repair, running and marketable condition (ordinary wear and tear

maintained in the ordinary course of the business of Borrower or to move Equipment directly from one location set forth or permitted herein to another such location and except for the movement of motor vehicles used by or for the benefit of Borrower
in the ordinary course of business; (f) the Equipment is now and shall remain personal property and Borrower shall not permit any of the Equipment to be or become a part of or affixed to real property; and (g) Borrower assumes all
responsibility and liability arising from the use of the Equipment. 
 7.5. Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably designates
and appoints Lender (and all persons designated by Lender) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes Lender, in Borrower’s or Lender’s name, to: (a) at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred or
event which, with passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing (i) demand payment on Accounts or other proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral, (ii) enforce
payment of Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of Borrower’s rights and remedies to collect any Account or other Collateral, (iv) sell or assign any Account upon such terms, for such amount and at such time
or times as Lender deems advisable, (v) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew an Account, (vi) discharge and release any Account, (vii) prepare, file and sign Borrower’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other
similar document against an Account Debtor, (viii) notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrower’s mail to an address designated by Lender, and open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower, and
(ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in Lender’s determination, to fulfill Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and (b) at any time to (i) take control in any manner of

Lender’s account for application to the Obligations, (iv) endorse Borrower’s name upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, or similar document or agreement relating to any Account or any goods pertaining thereto or any
other Collateral, (v) sign Borrower’s name on any verification of Accounts and notices thereof to Account Debtors and (vi) execute in Borrower’s name (if applicable law requires such signature) and otherwise file any UCC
financing statements or amendments thereto. Borrower hereby releases Lender and its officers, employees and designees from any liabilities arising from any act or acts under this power of attorney and in furtherance thereof, whether of omission or
commission, except as a result of Lender’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  

 23 

 7.6. Right to Cure. Lender may, at its option, (a) after the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, cure any default by Borrower under any agreement with a third party or pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against Borrower or liens permitted pursuant to Section 9.8, (b) at any other time, except for liens
permitted pursuant to Section 9.8, discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or existing with respect to the Collateral and (c) pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which, in
Lender’s judgment, is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain the Collateral and the rights of Lender with respect thereto. Lender may add any amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge Borrower’s account
therefor, such amounts to be repayable by Borrower on demand. Lender shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of Borrower. Any payment made

normal business hours and after notice to Borrower, or at any time and without notice to Borrower if an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, for the purposes of inspecting, verifying and auditing the Collateral and all of
Borrower’s books and records, including the Records, and (b) Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender such copies of such books and records or extracts therefrom as Lender may request, and (c) use during normal business hours such of
Borrower’s personnel, equipment, supplies and premises as may be reasonably necessary for the foregoing and if an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing for the collection of Accounts and realization of other Collateral.

 SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 
 Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender the following (which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement), the truth and accuracy of which are a continuing condition of the making of Loans by
Lender to Borrower: 
 8.1. Corporate Existence, Power and Authority; Subsidiaries. Borrower is a corporation duly organized and in
good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing in all states or other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the business transacted by it or the ownership of
assets makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, results of operation or business or the rights of Lender in
or to any of the Collateral. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder are all within Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly
authorized and are not in contravention of law or the terms of Borrower’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which such Borrower is a party or by which
Borrower or its property are bound. This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. Borrower does not have any non-Borrower
subsidiaries other than the entity identified as “Company #1” in that certain letter from Borrower to Lender dated March 31, 2006 (the “Disclosure Letter”). 
  

 24 

 8.2. Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change. All financial statements relating to
Borrower which have been or may hereafter be delivered by Borrower to Lender have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition and the results of operation of Borrower as at the dates and for the periods set forth
therein. Except as disclosed in any interim financial statements furnished by Borrower to Lender prior to the date of this Agreement, there has been no material adverse change as of the date of this Agreement in the assets, liabilities, properties
and condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower, since the date of the most recent audited financial statements furnished by Borrower to Lender prior to the date of this Agreement. 
 8.3. Chief Executive Office; Collateral Locations. The chief executive office of Borrower and Borrower’s Records concerning Accounts are
located only at the address set forth below on the signature page hereof and its only other places of business, subject to the right of Borrower to establish new locations in accordance with Section 9.2 below. The Information Certificate
correctly identifies any of such locations which are not owned by Borrower and sets forth the owners and/or operators thereof and the holders of any mortgages on such locations. 
 8.4. Priority of Liens; Title to Properties. The security interests and liens granted to Lender under this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements constitute valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests in and upon the Collateral subject only to the liens shown on Schedule 8.4 attached hereto and made part hereof and the other liens permitted under
Section 9.8 hereof. Borrower has good and marketable title to all of its properties and assets subject to no liens, mortgages, pledges, security interests, encumbrances or charges of any kind, except those granted to Lender and such others as
are specifically listed on Schedule 8.4 or permitted under Section 9.8 hereof. 
 8.5. Tax Returns. Borrower has filed, or
caused to be filed, in a timely manner all tax returns, reports and declarations which are required to be filed by it (without requests for extension except as previously disclosed in writing to Lender) except where the failure to file the same
could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All information in such tax returns, reports and declarations is complete and accurate in all material respects. Borrower has paid or caused to be paid all taxes due and payable or
claimed due and payable in any assessment received by it, except taxes the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and available to Borrower and with respect to which adequate reserves have
been set aside on its books except where the failure to pay the same could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Adequate provision has been made for the payment of all accrued and unpaid federal, state, county, local,
foreign and other taxes whether or not yet due and payable and whether or not disputed. 
 8.6. Litigation. Except as set forth on the
Information Certificate or Schedule 8.6 hereto, there is no present investigation by any governmental agency pending, or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge threatened, against or affecting Borrower, its assets or business and there is
no action, suit, proceeding or claim by any Person pending, or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge threatened, against Borrower or its assets or goodwill, or against or affecting any transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which if
adversely determined against Borrower would result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 25 

 8.7. Compliance with Other Agreements and Applicable Laws. Borrower is not in default in any
material respect under, or in violation in any material respect of any of the terms of, any agreement, contract, instrument, lease or other commitment to which it is a party or by which it or any of its assets are bound and Borrower is in compliance
in all material respects with all applicable provisions of laws, rules, regulations, licenses, permits, approvals and orders of any foreign, federal, state or local governmental authority. 
 8.8. Bank Accounts. All of the deposit accounts, investment accounts or other accounts in the name of or used by Borrower maintained at any bank
or other financial institution are shown on Schedule 8.8 attached hereto and made part hereof, subject to the right of Borrower to establish new accounts in accordance with Section 9.13 below. 
 8.9. Accuracy and Completeness of Information. All information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower in writing to Lender in connection with this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, is true and correct in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and does not omit any material fact
necessary in order to make such information not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect which has not been fully and accurately disclosed to Lender in writing.

 8.10. Environmental Compliance.  
 (a) Except as shown on Schedule 8.10 attached hereto and made a part hereof or in the Phase One environmental site assessment report prepared for Lender in connection with the Loans (the “Phase One
Report”), Borrower has not generated, used, stored, treated, transported, manufactured, handled, produced or disposed of any Hazardous Materials, on or off its premises (whether or not owned by it) in any manner which at any time violates any
applicable Environmental Law or any license, permit, certificate, approval or similar authorization thereunder and the operation of Borrower complies in all respects with all Environmental Laws and all licenses, permits, certificates, approvals and
similar authorizations thereunder. 
 (b) Except as shown on Schedule 8.10 attached hereto and made a part hereof or the Phase One
Report, there has been no investigation, proceeding, complaint, order, directive, claim, citation or notice by any governmental authority or any other person nor is any pending or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge threatened, with respect to
any non-compliance with or violation of the requirements of any Environmental Law by Borrower or the release, spill or discharge, threatened or actual, of any Hazardous Material or the generation, use, storage, treatment, transportation,
manufacture, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous Materials or any other environmental, health or safety matter, which affects Borrower or its business, operations or assets or any properties at which Borrower has transported, stored or
disposed of any Hazardous Materials. 
 (c) Except as shown on Schedule 8.10 attached hereto and made a part hereof or the Phase One
Report, Borrower has no liability, contingent or otherwise for violation of Environmental Laws, in connection with a release, spill or discharge, threatened or actual, of any Hazardous Materials or the generation, use, storage, treatment,
transportation, manufacture, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous Materials. 
  

 26 

 (d) Borrower has all licenses, permits, certificates, approvals or similar authorizations required to be
obtained or filed in connection with the operations of Borrower under any Environmental Law and all of such licenses, permits, certificates, approvals or similar authorizations are valid and in full force and effect. 
 (e) Borrower has no actual knowledge of: 
 (i) the presence of any Hazardous Materials on any of the Real Property or on which the Collateral is located in violation of Environmental Laws, or 
 (ii) any on-site spills, releases, discharges, disposal or storage of Hazardous Materials that have occurred or are presently occurring on any of such real property, or 
 (iii) any spills, releases, discharges or disposal of Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws that have occurred or are presently
occurring on such real properties as a result of the activities of Borrower, or 
 (iv) except as shown on Schedule 8.10 attached
hereto and made a part hereof, any notice, summons, citation or other communication sent to Borrower from any state or federal agency concerning any intentional or unintentional action or conduct, inaction or omission, past or present which is or
may be in violation of Environmental Laws. 
 8.11. Solvency. Borrower is able to pay its debts as they become due, has sufficient
capital to carry on its business operations, and presently owns property having a fair salable value which is greater than the amount required to pay all of Borrower’s debts as they become due, after giving effect to the application of the
initial Loan proceeds as provided in Section 6.6 hereof. 
 8.12. Employee Benefits.  
 (a) Borrower has not engaged in any transaction in connection with which Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates could be subject to either a civil
penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax imposed by Section 4975 of the Code, including any accumulated funding deficiency described in Section 8.12(c) hereof and any deficiency with respect to vested accrued
benefits described in Section 8.12(d) hereof. 
 (b) No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than routine
premium payments due from time to time in accordance with 4007(a) of ERISA) has been or is expected by Borrower to be incurred with respect to any employee benefit plan of Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates. There has been no reportable event
(within the meaning of Section 4043(c) of ERISA) or any other event or condition with respect to any employee pension benefit plan of Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates which presents a risk of termination of any such plan by the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation. 
 (c) Full payment has been made of all amounts which Borrower or any of their ERISA Affiliates is required
under Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code to have paid under the terms of each employee benefit plan as contributions to such plan as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such plan ended prior to the date hereof,
and no accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any employee benefit plan, including any penalty or tax described in Section 8.12(a)
hereof and any deficiency with respect to vested accrued benefits described in Section 8.12(d) hereof. 
  

 27 

 (d) The current value of all vested accrued benefits under all employee benefit plans maintained by
Borrower that are subject to Title IV of ERISA does not exceed the current value of the assets of such plans allocable to such vested accrued benefits, including any penalty or tax described in Section 8.12(a) hereof and any accumulated funding
deficiency described in Section 8.12(c) hereof. The terms “current value” and “accrued benefit” have the meanings specified in ERISA. 
 (e) Neither Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates is or has ever been obligated to contribute to any “multiemployer plan” (as such term is defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) that is subject to
Title IV of ERISA. 
 8.13. Commercial Tort Claims. Borrower has no Commercial Tort Claims in which Borrower is the claimant except as
shown on Schedule 8.13 attached hereto and made a part hereof or as disclosed in writing to Lender from time to time. 
 8.14.
Letter of Credit Rights. Borrower has no Letter of Credit Rights except as shown on Schedule 8.14 attached hereto and made a part hereof or as disclosed in writing to Lender from time to time. 
 8.15. Survival of Warranties; Cumulative. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements

any person other than Lender, which default continues for more than the applicable cure period, if any, with respect thereto; 
 (j) The
occurrence of a Change in Control; 
 (k) The indictment or threatened indictment of Borrower or any Obligor under any criminal statute, or
commencement or threatened commencement of criminal or civil proceedings against Borrower or any Obligor, pursuant to which statute or proceedings the penalties or remedies sought or available include forfeiture of any of the property of Borrower or
such Obligor; 
 (l) There shall be a material adverse change in the business, assets or prospects of Borrower or any Obligor after the date
hereof; or 
 (m) There shall be an Event of Default under, and as defined in, any of the other Financing Agreements. 
 10.2. Remedies. 
 (a) At any time an
Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies
may be exercised without notice to or consent by Borrower or any Obligor, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Lender hereunder, under any of
the other Financing Agreements, the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in Lender’s discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall
include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Lender may, at any time or times, proceed
directly against Borrower or any Obligor to collect the Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral. 
  

 38 

 (b) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, Lender may, in its discretion and without limitation, (i) accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Lender (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described
in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h), all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable), (ii) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may
be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) require Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, to assemble and make available to Lender any part or
all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Lender, (iv) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (v) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the
same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (vi) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into
contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, at any office of Lender or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Lender may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with Lender
having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of Borrower, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and
released by Borrower and/or (vii) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Lender upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefore is finally
collected by Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, five (5) days prior notice by Lender to Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Borrower waives any other notice. In the event Lender institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of
prejudgment remedy, Borrower waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. 
 (c) Lender may apply the cash proceeds of
Collateral actually received by Lender from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in such order as Lender may elect, whether or not then due. Borrower shall remain
liable to Lender for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. 
 (d) Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event which with passage of time would constitute an Event of
Default, Lender may, at its option, without notice, (i) cease making Loans or reduce the lending formulas or amounts of Revolving Loans available to Borrower and/or terminate any provision of this Agreement providing for any future Loans to be
made by Lender to Borrower.

 11.1. Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver. 
  

 39 

 (a) The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and
any dispute arising out of the relationship between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law).

 (b) Borrower and Lender irrevocably consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of New York County and the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and waive any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Agreement or any of the other Financing
Agreements or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now
existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only in the courts described above (except that Lender shall have the right to bring any
action or proceeding against Borrower or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Lender deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against Borrower or its property).

 (c) Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by
certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth on the signature pages hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or, at
Lender’s option, by service upon Borrower in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service, Borrower shall appear in answer to such process, failing which Borrower shall be deemed
in default and judgment may be entered by Lender against Borrower for the amount of the claim and other relief requested. 
 (d) BORROWER AND
LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO
THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR
OTHERWISE. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT BORROWER, OR LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS
AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 
 (e)
Lender shall not have any liability to Borrower (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this
Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Lender, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross
negligence or willful misconduct. In any such litigation, Lender shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this
Agreement. 
  

 40 

 11.2. Waiver of Notices. Borrower hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice
of protest and notice of dishonor with respect to any and all instruments and commercial paper, included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other demands and notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with
respect to the Obligations, the Collateral and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice to or demand on Borrower which Lender may elect to give shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the
same, similar or other circumstances. 
 11.3. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be
amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of Lender, and as to amendments, as also signed by an authorized officer of Borrower. Neither Lender nor Lender
shall, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Lender. Any such waiver shall be
enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Lender would otherwise
have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise. 
 11.4. Waiver of Counterclaims. Borrower waives all rights to
interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other then compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating
hereto or thereto. 
 11.5. Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its directors, employees and counsel,
harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened
related to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the fees and expenses of counsel. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this
Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to Lender in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section. The foregoing
indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. 
 11.6. Waiver and
Consent. Borrower waives notice of and hereby consents to, (i) extensions of time of payment of or increase or decrease in the amount of any of the Obligations, interest rate, fees, other charges, or the Collateral, (ii) the taking,
exchange, surrender and releasing of the Collateral or guarantees now or at any time held by or available to Lender for the Obligations of any other party at any time liable on or in respect of the Obligations, (iii) the exercise of, or
refraining from the exercise of any rights against any Borrower or the Collateral, (iv) the settlement, compromise or release of, or the waiver of an Event of Default with respect to, any of the 
  

 41 

 Obligations and (v) any other act, event or condition that may, in law or equity, constitute a defense under
applicable law to the obligation of a surety or guarantor. Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes all statutory, contractual, common law, equitable and all other claims against Lender for subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification, setoff or other recourse in respect to sums paid or payable to Lender by Borrower hereunder. 
 SECTION 12.
TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS. 
 12.1. Term. 
 (a) This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall become effective as of the date set forth on the first page hereof and shall continue in full
force and effect for a term ending on April 17, 2008 (the “Initial Maturity Date”), and from year to year thereafter (said Initial Maturity Date and any anniversary thereof being referred to herein as the “Maturity Date”),
unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. Lender or Borrower may terminate this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements effective on the Maturity Date or on the anniversary of the Maturity Date in any year by giving to the other
party at least sixty (60) days prior written notice; provided, that, this Agreement and all other Financing Agreements must be terminated simultaneously. Upon the effective date of termination or non-renewal of the Financing
Agreements, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in full, all outstanding and unpaid Obligations and shall furnish cash collateral to Lender in such amounts as Lender determines are reasonably necessary to secure Lender from loss, cost, damage or expense,
including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, in connection with any contingent Obligations, including any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations and/or as to which Lender has not yet received final and indefeasible
payment. Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of Lender, as Lender may, in its sole discretion, designate in writing to Borrower for such purpose.
Interest shall be due until and including the next Business Day, if the amounts so paid by Borrower to the bank account designated by Lender are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, Eastern time. 
 (b) Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time before the Maturity Date upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice and
compliance with the other requirements of this Section 12.1. No termination of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall relieve or discharge Borrower of its respective duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or the
other Financing Agreements until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid, and Lender’s continuing security interest in the Collateral and the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, under the other Financing Agreements
and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid. 
 12.2.
Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in writing and (a) made to Lender at its address set forth below and to Borrower at its chief executive office set forth below, or to such other address as either party may
designate by written notice to the other in accordance with this provision, and (b) deemed to have been given or made: if delivered in person, immediately upon delivery; if by telex, telegram, electronic mail, or facsimile transmission,
immediately upon sending and upon confirmation of receipt; if by nationally recognized overnight courier service with instructions to deliver the next Business Day, one (1) Business Day after sending; and if by certified mail, return receipt
requested, five (5) days after mailing. 
  

 42 

 12.3. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate this Agreement as a whole, but this Agreement shall be construed as though it did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid or unenforceable and the rights and
obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law. 
 12.4.
Successors. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender and Borrower and their respective successors and
assigns, except that Borrower may not assign its rights under this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may, after notice to Borrower,
assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and further may assign, or sell participations in, all or any part of the Loans, or any other interest herein to another financial institution or
other person, in which event, the assignee or participant shall have, to the extent of such assignment or participation, the same rights and benefits as it would have if it were Lender hereunder, except as otherwise provided by the terms of such
assignment or participation. 
 12.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, any supplements hereto or
thereto, and any instruments or documents delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith represent the entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof between the parties hereto, and supersede
all other prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of this Agreement and any schedule or exhibit hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any of the other Financing Agreements, including, without limitation, the
Original Loan Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
