CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of February 25, 2013, by and between XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Lender”), and ROCKPILE ENERGY SERVICES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”).

The parties agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

1.1 Definitions, Code Terms, Accounting Terms and Construction. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1. Additionally, matters of (i) interpretation of terms defined in the Code, (ii) interpretation of accounting terms and (iii) construction are set forth in Schedule 1.1.

2. LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1 Revolving Loan Advances.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and during the term of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make revolving loans (“Advances”) to Borrower in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of:

(i) the Maximum Revolver Amount less the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, and

(ii) the Borrowing Base at such time less the Letter of Credit Usage at such time.

(b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. Lender has no obligation to make an Advance at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default.

2.2 Term Loans.

(a) Equipment Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date Lender agrees to make a term loan (the “Equipment Term Loan”) to Borrower in an amount equal to the Equipment Term Loan Amount. The principal of the Equipment Term Loan shall be repaid in consecutive monthly installments of $350,000.00 each, commencing September 2, 2013, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter. The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Equipment Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. Any principal amount of the Equipment Term Loan that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) Discretionary CapEx Term Loans.

(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, at any time and from time to time during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier of (A) the Termination Date and (B) the first anniversary of the Closing Date (such period, the “CapEx Term Loan Advance Period”), at the request of Borrower Lender may (but shall have no obligation to, whether or not the conditions herein are satisfied) make up to two CapEx Term Loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the lesser of the (I) CapEx Term Loan Limit and (II) sixty percent (60%) of the Hard Costs of the Eligible Additional Equipment of Borrower. Each CapEx Term Loan shall be in an amount of not less than $500,000.

(ii) The CapEx Term Loans to Borrower shall be (A) repaid, together with interest and other amounts payable thereunder, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (B) secured by all of the Collateral.

(iii) In addition to the other conditions precedent to any Advance or loan set forth in this Agreement, and without limiting Lender’s right to refuse to make any CapEx Term Loan, whether or not the conditions herein

are satisfied, the provision of each CapEx Term Loan shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following additional conditions precedent, each as determined by Lender:

(A) Lender shall have received from Borrower not less than 5 Business Days’ and not more than 20 Business Days’ prior written notice of the proposed CapEx Term Loan (such notice being a “CapEx Term Loan Request”), which notice shall specify and include the following: (I) the proposed date and amount of such CapEx Term Loan, (II) a list and description of the Eligible Additional Equipment (by model, make, manufacturer, serial number and/or such other identifying information as may be reasonably requested by Lender), (III) Borrower’s election with respect to principal repayment under Section 2.2(b)(iv), (IV) the Hard Costs and total purchase price for such Eligible Additional Equipment and the terms of payment of such purchase price, and (V) such other information and documents as Lender may from time to time reasonably request with respect thereto; and

(B) to the extent to be used to refinance or pay invoices for Eligible Additional Equipment, the proceeds of such CapEx Term Loan shall only be used to refinance or pay invoices related to such Eligible Additional Equipment that have been outstanding for not more than six months since original invoice date.

(iv) At the time of submission of a CapEx Term Loan Request to Lender, Borrower shall make an election to repay the principal amount of such CapEx Term Loan either (I) commencing on the first day of the sixth month after the date of the making of such CapEx Term Loan, in equal, consecutive monthly installments of principal (other than the last installment, due and payable on the Termination Date, which shall be in an amount equal to the entire unpaid balance of the CapEx Term Loan), each in an amount equal to (A) the original principal amount of such CapEx Term Loan divided by (B) 30, or (II) commencing on the first day of the first month after the date of the making of such CapEx Term Loan, in equal, consecutive monthly installments of principal (other than the last installment, due and payable on the Termination Date, which shall be in an amount equal to the entire unpaid balance of such CapEx Term Loan), each in an amount equal to (A) the original principal amount of such CapEx Term Loan divided by (B) 36; in each case together with interest and other amounts as provided herein with respect to such CapEx Term Loan and provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal balance of all CapEx Term Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Termination Date.

2.3 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Procedure for Borrowing. Provided Lender has not separately agreed that Borrower may use the Loan Management Service, each Advance will be made by a written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Lender. Such written request must be received by Lender no later than 12 p.m. (Central time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day. At Lender’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Lender telephonic notice of such request by the required time. Lender is authorized to make the Advances, and to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person.

(b) Making of Loans. Promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Lender shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such amount to the Designated Account; provided, however, that, Lender shall not have the obligation to make any Advance if (1) one (1) or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived by Lender, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.

(c) Loan Management Service. If Lender has separately agreed that Borrower may use the Loan Management Service, Borrower shall not request and Lender shall no longer be obligated to honor a request for an Advance made in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and all Advances will instead be initiated by Lender and credited to the Designated Account as Advances as of the end of each Business Day in an amount sufficient to maintain an agreed upon ledger balance in the Designated Account, subject only to Availability as provided in Section 2.1. If Lender terminates Borrower’s access to the Loan Management Service, Borrower may continue to request Advances as provided in Section 2.3(a), subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. Lender shall have no obligation to make an Advance through the Loan Management Service following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, or in an amount in excess of Availability, and may terminate the Loan Management Service at any time in its sole discretion.

(d) Protective Advances. Lender may make an Advance for any reason at any time in its sole discretion, without Borrower’s compliance with any of the conditions of this Agreement, and (i) disburse the proceeds directly to third Persons in order to protect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or to perform any obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or otherwise to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations, or (ii) apply the proceeds to outstanding Obligations then due and payable (each such Advance, a “Protective Advance”).

2.4 Payments; Prepayments.

(a) Payments by Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made as directed by Lender or as otherwise specified in the applicable Cash Management Documents.

(b) Payments by Account Debtors. At any time after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, upon Lender’s request Borrower shall either instruct all Account Debtors to make payments directly to the Lockbox for deposit by Lender directly to the Collection Account, or instruct them to deliver such payments to Lender by wire transfer, ACH, or other means as Lender may direct for deposit to the Lockbox or Collection Account or for direct application to reduce the outstanding Advances. If Borrower receives a payment of the Proceeds of Collateral directly, Borrower will promptly deposit the payment or Proceeds into the Collection Account. Until so deposited, Borrower will hold all such payments and Proceeds in trust for Lender without commingling with other funds or property. Except as provided in Section 6.12(i)(ii) with respect to the Cash Management Transition Period, Borrower shall take reasonable steps to ensure that all of the Account Debtors of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries currently making payments to Borrower or a Subsidiary by wire transfer, ACH or other similar means forward payment of the amounts owed by them directly to the Collection Account.

(c) Crediting Payments. For purposes of calculating Availability and the accrual of interest on outstanding Obligations, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Cash Management Documents or as otherwise agreed between Borrower and Lender, each payment shall be applied to the Obligations as of the first Business Day following the Business Day of deposit to the Collection Account of immediately available funds or other receipt of immediately available funds by Lender provided such payment is received in accordance with Lender’s usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time. Any payment received by Lender that is not a transfer of immediately available funds shall be considered provisional until the item or items representing such payment have been finally paid under applicable law. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment, and that portion of Borrower’s outstanding Obligations corresponding to the amount of such dishonored payment item shall be deemed to bear interest as if the dishonored payment item had never been received by Lender. Each reduction in outstanding Advances resulting from the application of such payment to the outstanding Advances shall be accompanied by an equal reduction in the amount of outstanding Accounts.

(d) Application of Payments. All Collections and all Proceeds of Collateral received by Lender shall be applied, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the outstanding Obligations in such manner as Lender shall determine in its discretion. After payment in full in cash of all Obligations, any remaining balance shall be transferred to the Designated Account or otherwise to such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

(e) Optional Prepayments of Equipment Term Loan; Optional Prepayment of CapEx Term Loans. Subject to Section 7.13, Borrower may, upon at least 3 Business Days prior written notice to Lender, prepay the principal of the Equipment Term Loan or any CapEx Term Loan in whole or in part. Each prepayment of principal made pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid and the prepayment fee described in Schedule 2.12, if any. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, each such prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal due on the Equipment Term Loan or any CapEx Term Loan, as applicable, in the inverse order of maturity. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each such prepayment of principal made pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 10.5.

(f) Mandatory Prepayments. If, at any time, the (i) Revolver Usage exceeds (A) the Borrowing Base or (B) the Maximum Revolver Amount or (ii) (A) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Equipment Term Loan and the CapEx Term Loans on such date plus the Revolver Usage on such date exceeds (B) the Maximum Credit or (iii) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the CapEx Term Loans exceeds (A) sixty percent (60%) of the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of all Eligible Additional Equipment or (B) the CapEx Term Loan Limit (such excess amount described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as the “Overadvance Amount”), then Borrower shall promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days, prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to the Overadvance Amount. If payment in full of the outstanding revolving loans is insufficient to eliminate the Overadvance Amount and Letter of Credit Usage continues to exceed the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Revolver Amount, Borrower shall maintain Letter of Credit Collateralization of the outstanding Letter of Credit Usage. Lender shall not be obligated to provide any Advances or any CapEx Term Loan during any period that an Overadvance Amount is outstanding.

2.5 [Reserved].

2.6 Interest Rates: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(b) and Section 2.14, the principal amount of all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and Bank Products) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to

the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to the Interest Rate plus the Interest Rate Margin.

(b) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and at any time following the Termination Date,

(i) the principal amount of all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and Bank Products) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 3 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable thereunder, and

(ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for in Schedule 2.12 shall be increased by 3 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.

(c) Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Schedule 2.12, all interest, all Letter of Credit fees, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all Lender Expenses shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, from time to time without prior notice to Borrower, to charge all interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when due and payable), all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when accrued or incurred), all Lender Expenses (as and when accrued or incurred), and all fees and costs provided for in Schedule 2.12 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payment obligations as and when due and payable under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to any Bank Product Provider in respect of Bank Products) to the Loan Account, which amounts shall thereupon constitute Advances hereunder and, shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances. Any interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any Bank Product Agreement that are charged to the Loan Account shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances.

(d) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue. In the event the Interest Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Interest Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Interest Rate.

(e) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and Lender, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

2.7 Designated Account. Borrower agrees to establish and maintain one or more Designated Accounts, each in the name of Borrower, for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrower and made by Lender hereunder and the proceeds of the Equipment Term Loan and the CapEx Term Loans. Unless otherwise agreed by Lender and Borrower, any Advance, Equipment Term Loan and any CapEx Term Loan requested by Borrower and made by Lender hereunder shall be made to the applicable Designated Account.

2.8 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Lender shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) in which will be recorded the Equipment Term Loan, the CapEx Term Loans, all Advances made by Lender to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, the Letters of Credit issued or arranged by Lender for Borrower’s account, and all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.4 and Section 2.5, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Lender from Borrower or for Borrower’s account. All monthly statements delivered by Lender to Borrower regarding the Loan Account, including with respect to principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Expenses owing, shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Lender but shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and Lender unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Lender written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.

2.9 Maturity and Termination Dates. Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the earliest of (i) February 25, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”) or (ii) the date Borrower terminates the Revolving Credit Facility, or (iii) the date the Revolving Credit Facility terminates pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.2 following an Event of Default (the earliest of these dates, the “Termination Date”). The foregoing notwithstanding, Lender shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. Borrower promises to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses, including Lender Expenses) in full on the Termination Date (other than the Hedge Obligations, which shall be paid in accordance with the applicable Hedge Agreement).

2.10 Effect of Maturity. On the Termination Date, all obligations of Lender to provide additional credit hereunder shall automatically be terminated and all of the Obligations (other than Hedge Obligations which shall be terminated in accordance with the applicable Hedge Agreement) shall immediately become due and payable without notice or demand and Borrower shall immediately repay all of the Obligations in full. No termination of the obligations of Lender (other than cash payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the obligations of Lender to provide additional credit hereunder) shall relieve or discharge any Loan Party of its duties, obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any other Loan Document and Lender’s Liens in the Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations and shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and Lender’s obligations to provide additional credit hereunder shall have been terminated. Provided that there are no suits, actions, proceedings or claims pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person under this Agreement with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities, Lender shall, at Borrower’s expense, release or terminate any filings or other agreements that perfect the Lender’s Liens in the Collateral, upon Lender’s receipt of each of the following, in form and content satisfactory to Lender: (i) cash payment in full of all Obligations and completed performance by Borrower with respect to its other obligations under this Agreement (including Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to all outstanding Letter of Credit Usage), (ii) evidence that any obligation of Lender to make Advances to Borrower or provide any further credit to Borrower has been terminated, (iii) a general release of all claims against Lender and its Affiliates by Borrower and each Loan Party relating to Lender’s performance and obligations under the Loan Documents, and (iv) an agreement by Borrower, any Guarantor, and any new lender to Borrower to indemnify Lender and its Affiliates for any payments received by Lender or its Affiliates that are applied to the Obligations as a final payoff that may subsequently be returned or otherwise not paid for any reason. With respect to any outstanding Hedge Obligations which are not so paid in full, the Bank Product Provider may require Borrower to cash collateralize the then existing Hedge Obligations in an amount acceptable to Lender prior to releasing or terminating any filings or other agreements that perfect the Lender’s Liens in the Collateral.

2.11 Termination or Reduction by Borrower.

(a) Borrower may terminate the Credit Facility or reduce the Maximum Revolver Amount at any time prior to the Maturity Date, if it (i) delivers a notice to Lender of its intention at least 30 days prior to the proposed action, (ii) pays to Lender the applicable termination fee, reduction fee or prepayment fee set forth in Schedule 2.12, and (iii) pays the Obligations (other than the outstanding Hedge Obligations, which shall be paid in accordance with the applicable Hedge Agreement) in full or down to the reduced Maximum Revolver Amount. Any reduction in the Maximum Revolver Amount shall be in multiples of $500,000, with a minimum reduction of at least $2,500,000. Each such termination, reduction or prepayment shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the Maximum Revolver Amount may not be increased. Proceeds of Advances shall not be used by Borrower to make a prepayment of the Equipment Term Loan or any CapEx Term Loan.

(b) The applicable termination fee, reduction fee and prepayment fee set forth in Schedule 2.12 shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Lender as a result of an early termination, reduction or prepayment, as applicable and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing (including the borrowings that are reasonably expected by Borrower hereunder and the interest, fees and other charges that are reasonably expected to be received by Lender hereunder). In addition, Lender shall be entitled to such early termination fee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 9.4 and 9.5 hereof, even if Lender does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement, but elects, at its option, to provide financing to Borrower or permit the use of cash collateral during an Insolvency Proceeding. The early termination fee, reduction fee and prepayment fee, as applicable, provided for in Schedule 2.12 shall be deemed included in the Obligations.

2.12 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender the fees set forth on Schedule 2.12 attached hereto.

2.13 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Borrower made in accordance herewith, Lender agrees to issue a requested Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower. By submitting a request to Lender for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Lender issue the requested Letter of Credit. Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be made in writing by an Authorized Person and delivered to Lender via hand delivery, telefacsimile, or other

electronic method of transmission reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (i) shall specify (A) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (C) the proposed expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, and (E) such other information (including, the conditions to drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit, and (ii) shall be accompanied by such Letter of Credit Agreements as Lender may request or require, to the extent that such requests or requirements are consistent with the Letter of Credit Agreements that Lender generally requests for Letters of Credit in similar circumstances.

(b) Lender shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension, the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the lesser of:

(i) (A) the Borrowing Base at such time less the outstanding amount of Advances at such time or (B) the Maximum Revolver Amount less the outstanding amount of Advances, or

(ii) $2,000,000.

(c) Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any law applicable to Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Lender shall prohibit or request that Lender refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

(d) Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars, and shall expire on a date no more than 12 months after the date of issuance or last renewal of such Letter of Credit, which date shall be no later than the Maturity Date. If Lender makes a payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay the Lender an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement shall be immediately and automatically repaid to Lender through an Advance hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 4 or this Section 2.13). If Lender determines that Lender is unable to make such an automatic Advance to Borrower for the purpose of repaying the Letter of Credit Disbursement as a result of an Insolvency Proceeding involving Borrower or for any other reason, Borrower shall remain obligated to immediately pay to Lender the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement in immediately available funds, together with accrued interest on such unpaid Letter of Credit Disbursement at the default rate applicable to Advances under Section 2.6(b)(i) from the date of Lender’s making such Letter of Credit Disbursement until such Letter of Credit Disbursement is paid in full.

(e) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold Lender harmless from any damage, loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses incurred by Lender arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, that Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify Lender for any damage, loss, cost, expense, or liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

(f) Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither Lender nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of Lender shall be liable to any Loan Party for (i) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit or any error in interpretation of technical terms; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Agreement. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. Neither Lender nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.13(g) or for any action, neglect or omission under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Agreement, including in connection with the issuance or any amendment of any Letter of Credit, the failure to issue or amend any Letter of Credit, the honoring or dishonoring of any demand under any Letter of Credit, or the following of Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the

Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto, and such action or neglect or omission will bind Borrower. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary (or Lender may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and may disregard any requirement in a Letter of Credit that notice of dishonor be given in a particular manner and any requirement that presentation be made at a particular place or by a particular time of day), and Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Lender shall not be responsible for the wording of any Letter of Credit (including any drawing conditions or any terms or conditions that are ineffective, ambiguous, inconsistent, unduly complicated or reasonably impossible to satisfy), notwithstanding any assistance Lender may provide to Borrower with drafting or recommending text for any letter of credit application or with the structuring of any transaction related to any Letter of Credit, and Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such assistance will not constitute legal or other advice by Lender or any representation or warranty by Lender that any such wording or such Letter of Credit will be effective. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may, as it deems appropriate, use in any Letter of Credit any portion of the language prepared by Borrower and contained in the Letter of Credit Agreements relative to drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall not be responsible for delays, errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any Letter of Credit.

(g) The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document,

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction,

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit,

(iv) any payment by Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not substantially or strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, any requirement that presentation be made at a particular place or by a particular time of day), or any payment made by Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit,

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any other Loan Party, or

(vi) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(h) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any and all fees, charges, costs, or commissions in effect from time to time, of Lender relating to Letters of Credit, upon the payment or negotiation of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, or upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including the transfer, amendment, or cancellation of any Letter of Credit), shall be Lender Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and shall be reimbursable immediately by Borrower to Lender.

(i) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by Lender with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Board of Governors as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or

(ii) there shall be imposed on Lender any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit,

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to Lender of making, participating in, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Lender may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Lender may specify to be necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder; provided, that (A) Borrower shall not be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13(i) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to Borrower, and (B) if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Lender of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.13(i), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

(j) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Lender and Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of ISP98 shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP 600 shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(k) In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.13 and any provision contained in any Letter of Credit Agreement, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.13 shall control and govern.

2.14 Illegality; Impracticability; Increased Costs. In the event that (i) any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof make it unlawful or impractical for Lender to fund or maintain extensions of credit with interest based upon Daily Three Month LIBOR or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Daily Three Month LIBOR, (ii) Lender determines that by reasons affecting the London interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily Three Month LIBOR, or (iii) Lender determines that the interest rate based on the Daily Three Month LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining or funding Advances, the Equipment Term Loan or any CapEx Term Loan at the interest rate based upon Daily Three Month LIBOR, Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Borrower and (i) interest on the principal amount of such extensions of credit thereafter shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the greater of (1) the Prime Rate plus the Interest Rate Margin less two and three-quarters of one percent (2.75%) and (2) the Interest Rate Margin, and (ii) Borrower shall not be entitled to elect Daily Three Month LIBOR until Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so or that such increased costs would no longer be applicable.

2.15 Capital Requirements. If, after the date hereof, Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital or reserve requirements for lenders, banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation, implementation, or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, including those changes resulting from the enactment of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or (ii) compliance by Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of Lender’s loan commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material, then Lender may notify Borrower thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by Lender of a statement of the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3. SECURITY INTEREST.

3.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby unconditionally grants, assigns, and pledges to Lender for the benefit of Lender and each Bank Product Provider, to secure payment and performance of the Obligations, a continuing security interest (hereinafter referred to as the “Security Interest”) in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to the Collateral, as security for the payment and performance of all Obligations. Following request by Lender, Borrower shall grant Lender a Lien and security interest in all Commercial Tort Claims that it may have against any Person. The Security Interest created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by Borrower to Lender or any other Bank Product Provider, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in an Insolvency Proceeding involving Borrower due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding.

3.2 Borrower Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Borrower shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral to perform all of the duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by Lender of any of the rights hereunder shall not release Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and (c) Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

3.3 Assignment of Insurance. As additional security for the Obligations, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender for the benefit of Lender and each Bank Product Provider all rights of Borrower under every policy of insurance covering the Collateral and all other assets and property of Borrower and all business records and other documents relating to it, and all monies (including proceeds and refunds) that may be payable under any policy, and Borrower hereby directs the issuer of each policy to pay all such monies directly and solely to Lender. At any time, whether or not a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender may (but need not), in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive payment of proceeds and endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of the policy of insurance, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release claims against the issuer of any policy. Any monies received under any insurance policy assigned to Lender, other than liability insurance policies, or received as payment of any award or compensation for condemnation or taking by eminent domain, shall be paid to Lender and, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, either be applied to prepayment of the Obligations or disbursed to Borrower under payment terms reasonably satisfactory to Lender for application to the cost of repairs, replacements, or restorations of the affected Collateral which shall be effected with reasonable promptness and shall be of a value at least equal to the value of the items or property destroyed; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees to allow monies in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,000,000 received under any policy of insurance in respect of any Collateral to be used for the repair, replacement or restoration of such Collateral so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) such casualty has not resulted in a Material Adverse Change or materially impaired Borrower’s ability perform its obligations under any Material Contract, (iii) the aggregate amount of all insurance proceeds released to Borrower hereunder does not exceed $2,000,000 in any one fiscal year, (iv) the value of such repaired, replaced or restored Collateral shall be at least equal to the value of the Collateral prior to such the occurrence giving rise to the payment of such monies, and (vi) Borrower has, no later than 30 days following the casualty, provided Lender with a purchase order, invoice or other information or documentation satisfactory to Lender to evidence the matters described in the foregoing clause (iv).

3.4 Financing Statements. Borrower authorizes Lender to file financing statements describing Collateral to perfect Lender’s and each Bank Product Provider’s Security Interest in the Collateral, and Lender may describe the Collateral as “all personal property” or “all assets” or describe specific items of Collateral including without limitation any Commercial Tort Claims. All financing statements filed before the date of this Agreement to perfect the Security Interest were authorized by Borrower and are hereby ratified.

Each of such representations and warranties shall be true, correct, and complete, in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), as of the Closing Date, and shall be true, correct, and complete, in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), as of the date of the making of each Advance or other extension of credit made thereafter, as though made on and as of the date of such Advance or other extension of credit (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct as of such earlier date) and such representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

In addition, Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in cooperation with Lender to facilitate and implement a system of electronic collateral reporting in order to provide electronic reporting of each of the items set forth on such Schedule.

Except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.3 or Section 7.4, at all times maintain and preserve in full force and effect (a) its existence (including being in good standing in its jurisdiction of organization) and (b) all rights and franchises, licenses and permits material to its business, including, without limitation, any environmental permits, licenses, approvals, registrations or other authorizations under any Environmental Law necessary for the ownership and operation of its properties and the conduct of its business; provided, however, that neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any such right or franchise, licenses or permits if the loss thereof could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

6.4 Maintenance of Properties. Maintain and preserve all of its assets that are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear, tear and casualty excepted and Permitted Dispositions excepted (and except where the failure to so maintain and preserve such assets could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change), and comply with the material provisions of all material leases to which it is a party as lessee, so as to prevent the loss or forfeiture thereof, unless such provisions are the subject of a Permitted Protest, and conduct environmental due diligence with respect to any Real Property to be acquired in accordance with ASTM Standard E 1527-05 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments to confirm that the seller has abstained from knowingly or willfully permitting the commission of waste or other injury, destruction or loss of natural resources, or the occurrence of pollution, contamination or any other condition in, on or about such property and involving the environment that could reasonably be expected to result in or require any Remedial Action under any Environmental Law or give rise to any Environmental Action and that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

6.5 Taxes.

(a) Cause all assessments and taxes imposed, levied, or assessed against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses, or franchises to be paid in full, before delinquency or before the expiration of any extension period, except to the extent that the validity of such assessment or tax shall be the subject of a Permitted Protest and so long as, in the case of an assessment or tax that has or may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such assessment or tax.

Borrower also shall maintain, with respect to itself and each of its Subsidiaries, general liability insurance, flood insurance for Collateral located in a flood plain, product liability insurance, pollution liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance, as well as insurance against larceny, embezzlement, and criminal misappropriation. All such policies of insurance shall be with responsible and reputable insurance companies acceptable to Lender in its Permitted Discretion and in such amounts as is carried generally in accordance with prudent business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated and located and in any event in amount, adequacy and scope reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All property insurance policies covering the Collateral are to be made payable to Lender for the benefit of Lender, as its interests may appear, in case of loss, pursuant to a lender loss payable endorsement acceptable to Lender and are to contain such other provisions as Lender may reasonably require to fully protect the Lender’s interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be made under such policies.

If Borrower fails to maintain such insurance, Lender may arrange for such insurance, but at Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on Lender’s part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any loss exceeding $350,000 covered by its casualty or business interruption insurance. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the sole right to file claims under any property and general liability insurance policies in respect of the Collateral, to receive and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies.

Further, at the request of Lender, Borrower shall send requests for verification of Accounts or send notices of assignment of Accounts to Account Debtors and other obligors.

6.9 Compliance with Laws.

10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

10.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document or by applicable law, do any one or more of the following:

(a) declare the Obligations (other than the Hedge Obligations, which may be accelerated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreement), whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower;

(b) declare the funding obligations of Lender under this Agreement terminated, whereupon such funding obligations shall immediately be terminated together with any obligation of Lender hereunder to make Advances, issue Letters of Credit or extend any other credit hereunder;

(c) give notice to an Account Debtor or other Person obligated to pay an Account, a General Intangible, Negotiable Collateral, or other amount due, notice that the Account, General Intangible, Negotiable Collateral or other

amount due has been assigned to Lender for security and must be paid directly to Lender and Lender may collect the Accounts, General Intangible and Negotiable Collateral of Borrower and each other Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of the Obligations under the Loan Documents;

(d) in Lender’s name or in the name of Borrower or any other Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement, as Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s agent and attorney-in-fact, notify the United States Postal Service to change the address for delivery of mail to any address designated by Lender, otherwise intercept mail, and receive, open and dispose of such Loan Party’s mail, applying all Collateral as permitted under this Agreement and holding all other mail for such Loan Party’s account or forwarding such mail to such Loan Party’s last known address;

(e) without notice to or consent from Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and without any obligation to pay rent or other compensation, take exclusive possession of all locations where Borrower, any Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement or any of its respective Subsidiaries conduct its business or has any rights of possession and use the locations to store, process, manufacture, sell, use, and liquidate or otherwise dispose of items that are Collateral, and for any other incidental purposes deemed appropriate by Lender in good faith; and

(f) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law.

10.2 Additional Rights and Remedies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower expressly agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(a) Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Borrower and the other Loan Parties that are party to a Security Agreement to, and Borrower hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at one or more locations designated by Lender where Borrower or such other Loan Party conducts business, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Lender’s, Borrower’s or such other Loan Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days notice to Borrower or such other Loan Party of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time, and such sale may be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Borrower agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code. Borrower agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and Borrower or such other Loan Party is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code;

(b) Lender may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any Loan Party’s Deposit Accounts in which Lender’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Loan Party to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of Lender, and (ii) with respect to any Loan Party’s Securities Accounts in which Lender’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable Loan Party to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of Lender, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of Lender;

(c) any cash held by Lender as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 10.5. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Obligations in full, Borrower and each other Loan Party shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency; and

(d) the Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and that if an Event of Default shall occur Lender shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Lender shall have the right to the

appointment of a receiver for Borrower and each other Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement or for the properties and assets of Borrower and each such other Loan Party, and Borrower hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Borrower may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1, upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default described in Section 9.4 or Section 9.5, in addition to the remedies set forth above, without any notice to Borrower or any other Person or any act by Lender, all obligations of Lender to provide any further extensions of credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations (other than the Hedge Obligations), shall automatically and immediately become due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

10.3 Lender Appointed Attorney in Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts or any other Collateral of Borrower or the Accounts or other assets of any other Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement;

(b) to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;

(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of Borrower or any of the assets of any other Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement or otherwise to enforce the rights of Lender with respect to any of the Collateral;

(d) to repair, alter, or supply Goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to Borrower or any other Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement in respect of any Account of Borrower or such other Loan Party;

(e) to use any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of Borrower or any other Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement including but not limited to any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, or advertising matter, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, or selling Inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of Borrower or any other Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement;

(f) to take exclusive possession of all locations where Borrower or any other Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement conducts its business or has rights of possession, without notice to or consent of Borrower or any Loan Party and to use such locations to store, process, manufacture, sell, use, and liquidate or otherwise dispose of items that are Collateral, without obligation to pay rent or other compensation for the possession or use of any location;

(g) Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name or in the applicable Loan Party’s name, to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if Lender shall commence any such suit, Borrower or any other Loan Party that is party to a Security Agreement shall, at the request of Lender, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by Lender in aid of such enforcement; and

(h) to the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all commitments of Lender under this Agreement to provide extensions of credit are terminated and all Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

10.4 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Default or Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

10.5 Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Obligations (other than the Hedge Obligations, which may be accelerated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreement) have been accelerated pursuant to Section 10.1 or the Lender has exercised any remedy set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments received by Lender upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied in such manner as Lender shall determine in its discretion and, thereafter, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

10.6 Marshaling. Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

10.7 License. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property rights of Borrower for the purpose of: (a) completing the manufacture of any in-process materials following and during the continuance of any Event of Default so that such materials become saleable Inventory, all in accordance with the same quality standards previously adopted by Borrower for its own manufacturing; and (b) selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral following and during the continuation of any Event of Default.

11. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1 Demand; Protest; etc. Borrower and each other Loan Party waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Lender on which Borrower or such other Loan Party may in any way be liable. Borrower further waives any right to require Lender to: (a) proceed against any of the other Loan Parties or any other Person; (b) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security held from any of the other Loan Parties or any other Person; (c) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale or other disposition of personal property security held from or pledged by any of the other Loan Parties or any other Person; (d) take any other action or pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power; or (e) make any presentment or demand for performance, or give any notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness held by Lender as security for or which constitute in whole or in part the Obligations secured hereunder, or in connection with the creation of new or additional Obligations. In addition, Borrower waives any defense to its obligations hereunder based upon or arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of any of the other Loan Parties or any other Person; (ii) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full of the Obligations; (iii) any lack of authority of any officer or director acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of Borrower or any other Loan Party which is a corporation, partnership or other type of entity, or any defect in the formation of any such Loan Party; (iv) the application by any Loan Party of the proceeds of any Indebtedness for purposes other than the purposes represented by such Loan Party to, or intended or understood by, Borrower or Lender; (v) any act or omission by Lender (other than acts or omissions due to gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of Borrower or any other Loan Party or any portion of the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way impairs or suspends any rights or remedies of Lender against any of the Loan Parties; (vi) any impairment of the value of any interest in security for the Obligations or any portion thereof, including without limitation, the failure to obtain or maintain perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the release of any such security without substitution, and/or the failure to preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in disposing of, any such security; (vii) any modification of the Obligations, in any form whatsoever, including any modification made after revocation hereof to any Obligations incurred prior to such revocation, and including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of, or other change in the terms of, the Obligations or any portion thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; or (viii) any requirement that Lender give any notice of acceptance of this Agreement. Until all Obligations shall have been paid in full and all commitments of Lender have been terminated, no Loan Party shall have any right of subrogation as against any other Loan Party, and Borrower waives any right to enforce any remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against any of the Loan Parties or any other Person and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lender. Borrower further waives all rights and defenses Borrower or any other Loan Party may have arising out of (A) any election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Obligations, destroys Borrower’s rights of subrogation or Borrower’s rights to proceed against any other Loan Party for reimbursement, or (B) any loss of rights Borrower may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of any of the other Loan Parties in connection with

any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging the Obligations, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including any rights Borrower may have to a fair market value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any foreclosure sale or other disposition of any real property security for any portion of the Obligations.

11.2 The Lender’s Liability for Collateral. Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as Lender complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, Lender shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

11.3 Indemnification. Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Lender-Related Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring, forbearance or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of compliance by Borrower and each other Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries with the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, (c) in connection with the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) with respect to the failure by Borrower or any other Loan Party to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and (f) in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions related in any way to any such assets or properties of such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower or any other Loan Party was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower or such other Loan Party with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its officers, directors, employees, or attorneys.

BORROWER AND LENDER WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 13(b).

14. ASSIGNMENTS; SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lender shall release Borrower or any other Loan Party from its Obligations. Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in whole or in part and its rights and duties hereunder or grant participations in the Obligations hereunder and thereunder and no consent or approval by Borrower or any other Loan Party is required in connection with any such assignment or participation. With respect to grants of participations in the Obligations, Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each assignee and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations (the “Participant Register”); provided that Lender shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Borrower hereby agrees that Lender acting as its agent solely for the purpose set forth in this Section 14 shall not subject Lender to any fiduciary or other implied duties, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower.

15. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. No amendment or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document or agreement described in or related to this Agreement shall be effective unless it has been agreed to by Lender in a writing that specifically states that it is intended to amend or modify specific Loan Documents, or any other document or agreement described in or related to this Agreement. No failure by Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower or any other Loan Party of any provision of this Agreement. Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Lender may have.

16. TAXES.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any note or Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that if any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the Loan Party shall make such deduction and timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 16(a)), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) The Loan Parties agree to timely pay any Other Taxes with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Loan Party shall deliver to the Lender with respect to whom such Taxes were paid the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(d) The Loan Parties shall indemnify Lender, within 10 days of demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 16) payable or paid by the Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the

relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Loan Parties by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Loan Parties shall also indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by Lender as a result of any failure of any Loan Party to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or to deliver documentation evidencing the payment of Taxes.

(e) Any Foreign Person that owns an interest in the Obligations and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, Lender, if requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements under applicable law.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Person that owns an interest in the Obligations shall deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Person acquires an interest in the Obligations (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower, but in either case only if such Foreign Person is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

(ii) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Person claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Person is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC, and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN;

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Person is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, certificate(s) described in (iii) above, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Person may provide certificate(s) described in (iii) above on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Any Person who obtains an interest in the Obligations that is not a Foreign Person shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Person acquires an interest in the Obligations (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Person is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(f) If any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if the recipient of such payment fails to comply with applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by Borrower (i) two accurate, complete and signed certifications and other documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably satisfactory to Borrower that establish that such payment is exempt from U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment and (ii) any other documentation reasonably requested by Borrower sufficient for the applicable withholding agents to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such recipient has complied with such applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(g) Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) If Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund with respect to any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 16(a), it shall pay over such refund to Borrower, but only to the extent of additional amounts paid by Borrower under this Section 16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. This Section 16(h) shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. For purposes of this Section 16(h), a refund with respect to Taxes shall include any credit for Taxes received by Borrower in lieu of such a refund to the extent that the recipient of such credit has its Tax liability thereby reduced.

(i) If Lender requests compensation under Section 16(a) then Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 16(a) in the future and (ii) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any designation or assignment under this Section 16.

In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that Lender shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release Reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if Reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of Lender to determine or ensure whether the amount of any such Reserve is appropriate or not. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Bank Product Provider (other than Lender in its capacity as lender hereunder) shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or any other Loan Party.
