     THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this _____ day of ______________, by and between Encore Wire
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ______________________ (“Employee”);

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it is desirable to grant an
option under the Encore Wire Corporation 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to Employee, who is
currently employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has selected Employee to participate in the
Plan by the grant of a stock option which it is understood and agreed will not qualify as an
incentive stock option under the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows:

     1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined
shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan, and the following terms
shall have the following meanings, respectively:

	 	(a)	 	“Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2(a) of the Plan and
shall include any party now or hereafter coming within that definition.
	 
	 	(b)	 	“Change in Control” means a change in control of the Company after the date of
this Agreement in any one of the following circumstances: (i) any person shall have
become the beneficial owner of or shall have acquired, directly or indirectly,
securities of the Company representing 50% or more (in addition to his current
holdings) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting
securities without prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of
Directors of the Company in office immediately prior to such person’s attaining such
percentage interest; (ii) the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of
assets, or other reorganization, or a proxy contest, as a consequence of which the
members of the Board of Directors of the Company in office immediately prior to such
transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board thereafter; or (iii)
during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such
period constituted the Board of Directors of the Company (including for this purpose
any new director whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s
shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still
in office who were directors at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board.
	 
	 	(c)	 	“Common Stock” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2(e) of the Plan.
	 
	 	(d)	 	“Fair Market Value” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2(i) of the

     2. Option. The Company hereby grants to Employee the option to purchase, as

per share, for a period commencing on the date provided in Section 4 hereof and terminating on the
first to occur of (i) the expiration of ten years from the date of this Agreement, or (ii) when the
employment of Employee by the Company or any of its Affiliates terminates for any reason, subject,
however, to the following:

	 	(a)	 	if said employment terminates less than ten years from the date hereof other
than by reason of death or Employee’s becoming permanently and totally disabled as
defined in Section 2(b) below, then Employee may exercise this option, to the extent he
was entitled to do so at the date of termination of employment, at any time within
three months after such termination, but not after the expiration of the ten-year
period;
	 
	 	(b)	 	if said employment terminates less than ten years from the date hereof by
reason of Employee’s becoming permanently and totally disabled (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), then Employee (or Employee’s legal representative
if

1

 

	 	 	 	Employee is legally incompetent) may exercise this option, to the extent he was
entitled to do so at the date of such termination, at any time within one year after
such termination but not after the expiration of the ten-year period; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	if said employment terminates less than ten years from the date hereof by
reason of Employee’s death, then the executor or administrator of Employee’s estate or
anyone who shall have acquired this option by will or pursuant to the laws of descent
and distribution may exercise this option, to the extent Employee was entitled to do so
on the date of his death, at any time within one year after such death but not after
the expiration of the ten-year period.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the option granted hereunder shall terminate
immediately upon the Employee’s termination of employment on account of fraud, dishonesty or the
performance of other acts detrimental to the Company. A transfer of employment without
interruption of service between or among the Company and any of its Affiliates shall not be
considered a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement.

     3. Exercise During Employment. Except as provided in Section 2 hereof, this option
may not be exercised unless Employee is at the time of exercise an employee of the Company or an
Affiliate.

     4. Vesting. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 hereof, this option may
only be exercised in accordance with the following:

	 	(a)	 	a number of whole shares of Common Stock which does not exceed twenty percent
of the shares of Common Stock in respect of which this option is granted may be
purchased in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, on or after the first
anniversary of the date of this Agreement;
	 
	 	(b)	 	an additional number of whole shares of Common Stock which does not exceed
twenty percent of the shares of Common Stock in respect of which this option is granted
may be purchased in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, on or after the
second anniversary of the date of this Agreement;
	 
	 	(c)	 	an additional number of whole shares of Common Stock which does not exceed
twenty percent of the shares of Common Stock in respect of which this option is granted
may be purchased in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, on or after the
third anniversary of the date of this Agreement;
	 
	 	(d)	 	an additional number of whole shares of Common Stock which does not exceed
twenty percent of the shares of Common Stock in respect of which this option is granted
may be purchased in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, on or after the
fourth anniversary of the date of this Agreement; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	the remaining shares of Common Stock in respect of which this option is granted
may be purchased in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, on or after the
fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement;

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, all
remaining shares of Common Stock in respect of which this option is granted that have not otherwise
vested pursuant to this Section 4 shall immediately vest and may be purchased in whole at any time,
or in part from time to time, within the time periods permitted under Section 2, upon the earlier
of the following: (i) in the event of a Change in Control, or (ii) Employee’s termination of
employment with the Company and its Affiliates on or after the date Employee has attained age 60
and reached the 10th anniversary of his or her most recent date of hire with the Company
and its Affiliates.

     5. Manner of Exercise and Payment. This option may be exercised by written notice
signed by the person entitled to exercise the same and delivered to the President of the Company or
sent by United States registered mail addressed to the Company (for the attention of the President)
at its corporate office in McKinney, Texas. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Common
Stock as to which the option is exercised and shall be accompanied by the full amount of the
purchase price of such shares. The purchase price for the option shares may be paid in cash or, in
whole or in part, by the surrender of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company
already owned by the Employee held for at least six months free of any restrictions which shall be
credited against the purchase price at the Fair Market Value of the shares surrendered on the date
of exercise of the option. In addition, with the approval of the 2010 Stock Option Plan Committee,
the exercise price may be paid by delivery to the Company or its designated agent of an irrevocable
option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a
sufficient portion of the shares with respect to which the option is

2

 

exercised and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds directly to the Company to pay for the
exercise price and any required withholding taxes.

     6. Delivery of Shares. Delivery of the certificates representing the shares of Common
Stock purchased upon exercise of this option shall be made promptly after receipt of notice of
exercise and payment of the purchase price and the amount of any withholding taxes to the Company,
if required, provided that the Company shall have such time as it reasonably deems necessary to
qualify or register such shares under any law or governmental rule or regulation that it deems
necessary or desirable.

     7. Adjustments. In the event that, before delivery by the Company of all the shares
of Common Stock in respect of which this option is granted, the Company shall have effected a
Common Stock split or dividend payable in Common Stock, or the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company shall have been combined into a smaller number of shares, the shares of Common Stock still
subject to this option shall be increased or decreased to reflect proportionately the increase or
decrease in the number of shares outstanding, and the purchase price per share shall be decreased
or increased to make the aggregate purchase price for all the shares then subject to this option
the same as immediately prior to such stock split, stock dividend or combination. In the event of
a reclassification of the shares of Common Stock not covered by the foregoing, or in the event of a
liquidation or reorganization (including a merger, consolidation, spin-off or sale of assets) of
the Company or an Affiliate, the Board of Directors of the company shall make such adjustments, if
any, as it may deem appropriate in the number, purchase price and kind of shares still subject to
this option.

     8. Transferability. This option is not transferable otherwise than by will and the
laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of Employee is exercisable only by
Employee or, if Employee is legally incompetent, by Employee’s legal representative.

     9. Employment. As consideration for the Company’s grant of this option, Employee
agrees not to leave the employ of the Company or any Affiliate voluntarily for a period of one year
after the date of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, however, confers upon Employee any
right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall this Agreement interfere
in any manner with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of
Employee with or without cause at any time.

     10. Notice of Disposition. As consideration for the Company’s grant of this option,
Employee agrees that if and when Employee disposes of any shares of Common Stock purchased by
Employee pursuant to this option, Employee shall promptly notify the Company of such disposition,
including the identity of the transferee of such shares of Common Stock and the consideration
received for the transfer of such shares.

     11. Option Subject to Plan. By execution of this Agreement, Employee agrees that this
option and the shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise hereof shall be governed by and
subject to all applicable provisions of the Plan.

     12. Construction. This Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed and enforced
in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas. Words of any gender used in this Agreement
shall be construed to include any other gender, unless the context requires otherwise. The
headings of the various sections of this Agreement are intended for convenience of reference only
and shall not be used in construing the terms hereof.

     13. Application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Options granted
pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner
consistent with that intent; however, the Company makes no representation or guarantee as to the
tax consequences of this Agreement.

(a) Notes. The Company has authorized the issuance and sale to the Investors of
Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B in the
initial aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $1,100,000 (a
discount of 10%, collectively referred to as the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”). At the
Company’s discretion, said aggregate principal amount of the Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
can be increased up to $1,200,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $1,320,000 (again reflecting a
discount of 10%). The repayment of the Notes will be secured by a security interest in all of the
Company’s assets pursuant to the Security Agreement; provided, however, each
Investor hereby agrees and acknowledges that the security interest granted to the Investors
securing repayment of the Notes is expressly subordinate to the loan secured by a first security
interest in the Company’s Vault in the original principal amount of $100,000 (the “Vault Loan”) and
Permitted Indebtedness (as set forth in Schedule 3.8) and as permitted by Section 7. Upon
the occurrence of any event of default under the Vault Loan, each Investor shall have the right to
purchase a new note in principal amount equal to its pro rata portion (based upon the total
outstanding principal amount of all Notes) of the Vault Loan plus any accrued interest. In the
event that an Investor does not purchase a note representing all of his, her or its pro rata
portion of the Vault Loan, then the Investors who have so elected to purchase their respective pro
rata portions shall have the option to purchase additional notes in the principal amount equal to
their respective pro rata portion (as among all holders of Notes who elect to purchase the new
notes) of the remaining balance of the Vault Loan plus any accrued interest. The Company shall
issue a new Secured Convertible Promissory Note to each such participating Investor and the Company
will use the proceeds from the sale of such notes to repay the Vault Loan including accrued
interest. Each such new Secured Convertible Promissory Note shall have the same terms as the Notes
and shall be treated as issued hereunder.

 

2

 

(b) Warrants. Based on the initial aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, the
Company has authorized the issuance and sale to the Investors of Warrants in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C to purchase in the aggregate 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock
(collectively referred to as the “Warrants” and individually as a “Warrant”). Should the Company
increase the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to $1,200,000,
the Company shall authorize the issuance and sale of Warrants to the Investors to reflect an
aggregate total of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock (collectively referred to as the “Warrants” and
individually as a “Warrant”).

(c) Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each
Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, to pay the Company at the Closing the purchase price
for such Investor’s Note and Warrant in the amount set forth opposite the Investor’s name on
Exhibit A in the column headed “Total Purchase Price.” The Company agrees to sell and
issue to each Investor at the Closing a Note in the original principal amount as set forth opposite
the Investor’s name on Exhibit A. An Investor’s purchase price for the Warrants shall be
the product of .001 multiplied by the principal amount of such Investor’s Note.

2.2 Closing. The closing of the purchases and sales of the Notes and Warrants (the
“Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A., Suite 3500, 225 South
6th Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402-4629, by an exchange of executed counterpart
copies of this Agreement, other Transaction Documents and the other closing documents. At the
Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Investor a Note and Warrant as well as an executed
original of the Security Agreement and this Agreement and each Investor will deliver an executed
original of this Agreement and any other closing documents and will pay the purchase price for the
Note and the Warrant to the Company in immediately available funds.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to
the Investors as follows:

3.1 Corporate Existence and Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has all requisite
power and authority to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee
and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, and has the corporate power and
authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents
except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies and except as
rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by federal or state securities law.
The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under
the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the properties
owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, requires such qualification
except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect.

3.2 Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Company of each of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, including,
without limitation, the sale, issuance and delivery of the Securities, have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action of the Company, do not contravene the terms of the Certificate of
Incorporation or the Bylaws, or any amendment thereof, do not violate, conflict with or result in
any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any lien, mortgage, security interest, or
similar encumbrance under, any contractual obligation of the Company, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Company, and do not violate any judgment,
injunction, writ, award, decree or order of any nature (collectively, “Orders”) of any Governmental
Authority against, or binding upon the Company. The Company has not previously entered into any
contractual obligation which is currently in effect or by which it is currently bound, granting any
rights to any Person which are inconsistent with the rights to be granted by the Company in any of
the Transaction Documents.

 

3

 

3.3 Government Authorization; Third-Party Consents. Other than customary federal and
state filings necessary in connection with the claiming of exemptions from registration of the
issuance of the Securities contemplated hereby, and except as otherwise set forth in the
Transaction Documents, no approval, consent, compliance, exemption, authorization, or other action
by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person in respect of any
Requirement of Law, or any contractual obligation of the Company, and no lapse of a waiting period
under a Requirement of Law, or any contractual obligation of the Company, is necessary or required
in connection with the execution, delivery or performance (including, without limitation, the sale,
issuance and delivery of the Securities) by, or enforcement against the Company, of any of the
Transaction Documents.

3.4 Binding Effect. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized,
executed, and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

3.5 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.5, there are no actions,
suits, proceedings, claims, complaints, disputes, arbitrations or investigations pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental
Authority against the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.5, there is no fact,
event, or circumstance known to the Company that is reasonably likely to give rise to any claim
that would be required to be set forth as an exception to the representation set forth in the
preceding sentence if currently pending or threatened. No Order has been issued by any court or
other Governmental Authority against the Company purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution,
delivery or performance of any of the Transaction.

3.6 No Defaults. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6, the Company is not in
material violation or breach of, or in material default under any note, indenture, mortgage, lease,
contract, purchase order or other instrument, document or agreement to which the Company is a party
or by which it or any of its property is bound or affected or any ruling, writ, injunction, order,
judgment or decree of any court, administrative agency or other governmental body which violation,
breach or default would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of
operations, assets, liabilities, business or prospects of the Company, and to the Company’s
knowledge, there exists no condition, event or act which after notice, lapse of time, or both, may
constitute a material violation or breach of, or a material default under, any of the foregoing
which violation, breach or default would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition,
results of operations, assets, liabilities, business or prospects of the Company.

3.7 Taxes. There are no federal, state, county, local or foreign taxes due and
payable by the Company which have not been timely paid. There are no accrued and unpaid federal,
state, country, local or foreign taxes of the Company which are due, whether or not assessed or
disputed. There have been no examinations or audits of any tax returns or reports by any
applicable federal, state, local or foreign governmental agency. The Company has duly and timely
filed all federal, state, county, local and foreign tax returns required to have been filed by it and there are in effect no waivers of applicable statutes of limitations with respect to
taxes for any year.

 

4

 

3.8 No Liens or Encumbrances. Other than as set forth on Schedule 3.8 (the
“Permitted Indebtedness”), the property and assets that the Company owns are free and clear of all
mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, loans and encumbrances, except for statutory liens for the
payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and encumbrances and liens that arise in the
ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company’s ownership or use of such
property or assets.

3.9 SEC Reports. The Company has filed all forms, reports and documents required to be
filed by the Company with the Commission. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.9, all such
required forms, reports and documents (including those that the Company may file subsequent to the
date hereof) are referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”). As of their respective dates, the SEC
Reports (a) were prepared in accordance and complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as the case may be, and
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder applicable to such SEC Reports and (b) did
not at the time they were filed contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

3.10 Compliance with Laws. The Company has, to its knowledge, complied in all material
respects with, is not in material violation of, and has not received any written notices of
violation with respect to, any Requirement of Law with respect to the conduct of its business, or
the ownership or operation of its assets or properties.

3.11 Private Offering. No form of general solicitation or general advertising was
used by the Company or its representatives in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.
Assuming that the representations of the Investors set forth in Section 4 hereof are true, no
registration of the Securities, pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or any state
securities or “blue sky” laws, will be required by the offer, sale or issuance of the Securities.
The Company agrees that neither it, nor anyone acting on its behalf, shall offer to sell the
Securities or any other security of the Company so as to require the registration of the Securities
pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws, unless
such Securities or other security is so registered.

3.12 Broker’s, Finder’s or Similar Fees. As of the date of the Closing, there are no
brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or similar fees or commissions payable by the Company in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based on any agreement, arrangement or
understanding with the Company or any action taken by any such Person except as set forth on
Schedule 3.12.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor, severally and not
jointly with any other Investor, hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

4.1 Existence and Power. The Investor has the requisite power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is
a party.

4.2 Accredited Investor Status. The Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term
is defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and is a resident of
the state or other jurisdiction set forth opposite such Investor’s name on the Exhibit A.

4.3 Broker’s, Finder’s or Similar Fees. There are no brokerage commissions, finder’s
fees or similar fees or commissions payable by the Investor in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby based on any agreement, arrangement or understanding with the Investor or any
action taken by the Investor.

 

5

 

4.4 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Investor hereby confirms, that the
Securities to be acquired by the Investor will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part
hereof, and that the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in,
or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Investor further represents
that the Investor does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with
any person to sell, transfer, or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with
respect to any of the Securities. The Investor has not been formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring the Securities.

4.5 Disclosure of Information. The Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the
Company’s business, management, financial affairs, and the terms and conditions of the offering of
the Notes and Warrants with the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to inspect the
Company’s facilities and has utilized such access to the Investor’s satisfaction.

4.6 Speculative Securities. The Investor understands that an investment in the
Securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The Investor believes the
investment is suitable for the Investor based on his, her or its investment objectives and
financial needs. The Investor has adequate means for providing for his, her or its current
financial needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect
to the Securities. The Investor can bear the economic risk of investment in the Securities for an
indefinite period of time and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

4.7 Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Securities have not been
registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of
the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed in this
Agreement. The Investor understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under
applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Investor
must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Commission and qualified
by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is
available. The Investor acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the
Securities for resale. The Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or
qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements, including but not
limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements
relating to the Company which are outside of the Investor’s control, and which the Company is under
no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

4.8 No Public Market. The Investor understands that a very limited public market
exists for the Common Stock, but no market exists for any other securities issued by the Company,
and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities. Accordingly, Investor understands that he, she or it must hold the
Securities indefinitely and may never be able to resell them for their original purchase price, or

6. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and
its successors and assigns, together with any of their officers, directors, or shareholders (such
persons, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities,
obligations, costs or expenses (any one such item being herein called a “Loss” and all such items
being herein collectively called “Losses”) which are caused by or arise out of, or (in the case of
claims asserted against any Indemnified Parties by a third party) alleged to result from, arise out
of or have been incurred with respect to, (a) any material breach or default in the performance by
the Company of any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement, (b) any
material breach of warranty or inaccurate or erroneous representation made by the Company herein or
in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto,
and (c) any and all material actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and
expenses (including costs and reasonable hourly attorneys’ fees) arising out of the foregoing

any Losses resulting from (a) or (b) under this Agreement shall be limited to the actual amount
invested pursuant to this Agreement.

7. Negative Covenant. Except as set forth in Sections 2.1 and 7 or Permitted Indebtedness,

consent of the Majority Noteholders, create or suffer to exist any debt that is or that purports to
have a security interest in or to the assets of the Company that is senior to the security interest held by the Investors with respect to the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt,
consent pursuant to this provision shall be consent to any other similar prohibition included in
the Notes or Security Agreement. The Investors shall, from time to time, at the request of the
Company, subordinate the portion of the security interest securing repayment of the Notes covering
accounts receivable only to any accounts receivable or equipment based financing obtained by the
Company from any bank or other lender.

8. Affirmative Covenants. For so long as the Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall

statements, in unaudited form, as would be required to be included in such reports.

9. Miscellaneous.

under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
