Each borrowing under the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (A) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $250,000.00 or a whole multiple of $50,000.00 in excess thereof and (B) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $1,000,000.00 or a whole multiple of $500,000.00 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date the Administrative Agent receives such notice. Not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on each requested Borrowing Date each Revolving Lender shall wire an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans requested to be made on such Borrowing Date available to the Administrative Agent at its office specified in Section 10.2 in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. Revolving Credit Loans shall be advanced into Borrower’s Designated Account unless otherwise instructed by Borrower in writing. The Administrative Agent shall on such date credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.3 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender (whether made before or after the termination or expiration of the Revolving Credit Commitments) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and on such other dates and in such other amounts as may be required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation Section (g) of Section 3.1. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans from time to time outstanding until payment thereof in full at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 3.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within three (3) Business Days of Borrower’s receipt of each A-10 Contract Reimbursement Payment (if any), Borrower shall then prepay the Revolving Credit Loans in the principal amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the net proceeds (less any amounts due to subcontractors related to the Boeing A-10 Wing Replacement Program) of each A-10 Contract Reimbursement Payment plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment. Each Revolving Lender shall receive its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of each installment of principal paid under the Revolving Credit Loans.

2.4 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Lender thereof), to terminate the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender would not be greater than or equal to zero. Any such permitted reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

28

2.5 Term Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, pursuant to Section 2.6 below, each Term Lender severally (but not jointly) agrees to make the Term Loan (defined below) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate the amount of the Term Commitment of each Term Lender. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall refinance the outstanding principal balance and Swap Termination Value of the term loan under the Existing Credit Agreement.

2.6 Term Loan Borrowing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Proceeds of the Term Loan, each Term Lender severally agrees to make available to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) on the Closing Date its Term Loan Percentage of term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan shall be evidenced by a Term Note of the Borrower payable to each Term Lender. Each Term Note shall be dated the Closing Date and shall mature on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date at which time the entire outstanding principal balance and all interest thereon shall be due and payable. The Term Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Eurodollar Rate for the applicable Interest Period or the Base Rate or combinations thereof provided that each Eurodollar Term Loan shall be in an amount of $3,000,000.00 or a whole multiple of $500,000.00 in excess thereof pursuant to notices delivered to Administrative Agent in the form of a Notice of Transaction in accordance with Section 3.2. At Administrative Agent’s option and upon Administrative Agent’s approval, the Borrower shall have a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from closing to enter into a Secured Swap Contract with the Swap Provider (or other provider acceptable to Administrative Agent) with respect to the entire aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans for the remainder of the term. Interest shall be payable in arrears on the Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof. The number of Term Loans outstanding at any one time shall be limited pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof. Prepayments shall be subject to Section 3.4 hereof. Each Term Note shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

2.7 Repayment of Term Loan. The principal balance of the Term Loan shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender (in accordance with each Term Lender’s respective Term Loan Percentage) in consecutive monthly installments of principal, (i) the first twelve (12) of which (payments 1 through 12) shall be in an amount equal to Forty One Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six and 67/100 ($41,666.67) Dollars each, (ii) the next twelve (12) of which (payments 13 through 24) shall be in an amount equal to One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 ($125,000.00) Dollars each and (iii) the next eleven (11) of which (payments 25 through 35) shall be in an amount equal to One Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six and 67/100 ($166,666.67) Dollars each; such payments (i) through (iii) commencing on May 1, 2016 with each succeeding installment being due on the first Business Day of each month thereafter until March 1, 2019 with a final payment due on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date in an amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Borrower’s receipt of each Contract Termination Payment (if any), Borrower shall then (at Borrower’s option) either (1) prepay the Term Loan (which in the case of Eurodollar Term Loans shall be on the last day of the current Interest Period) in the principal amount equal to the Designated Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment, or (2) deposit into a bank account held by and pledged (as additional collateral for the Loans and any related interest rate swap obligations, if applicable) to the Agent on behalf of the Term Lenders, on terms and documentation satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel, an amount equal to the Designated Amount. Each Term Lender shall receive its Term Loan Percentage of each installment of principal paid under the Term Loan.

2.8 Reserved.

2.9 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.1.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise as may be required under the Loan Documents in connection with any Lien conferred thereunder or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made when the conditions set forth in Section 5 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans owed to such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

30

(iii) Certain Fees: No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 3.5(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, agrees in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment and Term Loan Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III: GENERAL PROVISIONS

3.1 | Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day.

31

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such amount shall bear interest for each day after the due date until such amount is paid in full at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 3% per annum or (y) in the case of any such overdue interest, fee or other amount, the rate described in paragraph (b) of this Section plus 3% per annum. If any Event of Default described in Sections 8(c) (with respect to Section 7.1 only), (f), (h) or (j) shall occur and be continuing, and the Required Lenders shall give notice to the Borrower that this sentence shall apply, then, until such Event of Default shall be cured or waived or such notice shall be withdrawn, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans shall bear interest at 3% per annum above the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1 (other than the first sentence of this paragraph (c)).

(d) Interest on Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 3.1 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(e) On each date when the payment of any principal, interest or fees are due hereunder or under any Note, Borrower agrees to maintain on deposit in an ordinary checking account maintained by Borrower with the Administrative Agent, which may be the Borrower’s Operating Account (Account #9853724601 with the Administrative Agent, or such other account with Administrative Agent as shall be designated by Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, the “Designated Account”) an amount sufficient to pay such principal, interest or fees in full on such date. Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (i) to deduct automatically all principal, interest or fees when due hereunder or under any Note from the Designated Account, and (ii) if and to the extent any payment of principal, interest or fees under this Agreement or any Note is not made when due to deduct any such amount from any or all of the accounts of Borrower maintained at the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent agrees to provide written notice to Borrower of any automatic deduction made pursuant to this Section 3.1(e) showing in reasonable detail the amounts of such deduction.

(f) If a Designated Account is established, all funds deposited in the Designated Account shall be held under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent for the account of and subject to the security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent in the funds on deposit in the Designated Account as proceeds of the Collateral, the Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Collateral Agent a security interest in all funds, whether or not proceeds of the Collateral, now or hereafter on deposit in the Designated Account and all of the Borrower's present and future rights in and to the Designated Account and the funds on deposit therein.

(g) If a Designated Account is established, the Administrative Agent has the right, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, to withdraw funds from and/or draw upon the Designated Account to pay amounts due and owing to the Lenders under this Agreement, including, without limitation, interest on and principal of Loans thereunder, and the fees set forth in Section 3.5 payable thereunder. The Borrower hereby agrees that all amounts deposited into the Designated Account or on deposit in the Designated Account shall, on the Business Day that Obligations are due after receipt thereof, be withdrawn by the Administrative Agent and either (i) if and solely to the extent any amount is outstanding on such day in respect of Obligations under any of the Loan Documents, such amounts on deposit in the Designated Account shall be applied by the Agent to satisfy such outstanding Obligations (and to the extent any such amounts on deposit in the Designated Account shall not be required to satisfy Obligations, such amounts shall be treated as provided for below) or (ii) if there are no Obligations at that time outstanding (and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), upon Borrower’s written request to Administrative Agent, such amounts on deposit in the Designated Account shall be transferred by the Agent to the Borrower's main operating account (if different from the Designated Account) with the Administrative Agent (the “Operating Account”). To the extent applicable, the Borrower shall on the next succeeding Business Day advise the Administrative Agent of the funds deposited to the Designated Account as cash for which the Administrative Agent did not afford the Borrower credit against the Obligations and the Administrative Agent shall make a retroactive adjustment for same. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, no amounts on deposit in the Designated Account shall be transferred by the Collateral Agent, and any amounts on deposit therein may be used by the Collateral Agent, at the Collateral Agent's discretion, to satisfy the Obligations as provided for above, or may be held by the Collateral Agent as cash collateral for the Obligations, as provided for above and in the Security Agreement.

32

(h) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, upon written direction from the Required Lenders, the Designated Account (if any) shall be converted into a lockbox account under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent. In such event, the Borrower hereby agrees, on forms approved by the Collateral Agent, if requested by Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders, to instruct all Account Debtors to make all payments in respect of Accounts directly to the lockbox account. This lockbox account shall be non-interest bearing and shall be subject to debit or withdrawal solely by the Collateral Agent. The balance from time to time in this lockbox account shall be used to reduce the Obligations, at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, and such balance shall be held as security for such Obligations as provided in Section 3.1(g) hereof and in the Security Agreement.

(i) The Designated Account and the funds on deposit therein shall be subject to the Collateral Agent's right of setoff, Collateral Agent's lien and other rights for the benefit of the Lenders as the Collateral Agent has in and to deposit accounts maintained therein. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights or remedies the Collateral Agent may have against the Borrower or any funds of the Borrower on deposit at the Collateral Agent. No failure of the Collateral Agent to require, and no delay by the Collateral Agent in requiring, the Borrower to comply with any requirement of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of compliance with any requirement of this Agreement. No failure of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay by the Bank in exercising, any right or any remedy, whether under this Agreement, at law or otherwise shall constitute a waiver of any such right or remedy. Any waiver by the Collateral Agent of compliance with a requirement of this Agreement, or of any right or any remedy, shall be effective only if in a writing signed by the Collateral Agent, and shall be limited to the specific instance for which such waiver was granted and shall not constitute a waiver of such compliance, right or remedy in the future or of compliance with any other requirement, or of any other right or remedy, whether under this Agreement or otherwise.

33

(j) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Borrower or for any other reason, Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Financial Covenant used in the definition “Applicable Margin” as calculated by Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of such Financial Covenant would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Section 8 (inclusive) hereunder or otherwise. Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of the Aggregate Loans and all other Obligations hereunder.

3.2 Conversion and Continuation Options. With respect to Loans:

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Eurodollar Loans (in whole or in part) to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election pursuant to a Notice of Transaction, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Base Rate Loans (in whole or in part) to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to the proposed conversion date. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans and Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such conversion is not appropriate, (ii) any such conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, Section 3.3 shall not have been violated, and (iii) no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 3.3 would be contravened or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable; and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give such notice or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Eurodollar Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to this Section 3.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.

34

3.3 Minimum Amounts; Maximum Number of Loans. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto: (a) for the Revolving Credit Loans (i) not more than six (6) Interest Periods shall be outstanding at any time and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Interest Period shall be equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (b) for the Term Loans (i) not more than four (4) Interest Periods shall be outstanding at any time and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising the Term Loans shall be equal to the lesser of (1) the aggregate remaining principal balance of the Term Loans or (2) $3,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

3.4 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) and at least one (1) Business Day’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (in the case of Base Rate Loans), specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and, in each case if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments of the Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

(b) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 3.8(a)(ii) and shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans.

(c) If, at any time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, for any reason the Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstanding of all the Revolving Lenders exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, or the Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstanding of any Lender exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender then in effect, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately prepay the Revolving Credit Loans, in an aggregate amount at least sufficient to eliminate any such excess.

35

(d) On each date on which the Revolving Credit Loans exceed any borrowing limitations set forth herein, the Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, if any (together with interest accrued thereon and any amount due under this Section 3.4), as may be necessary so that after such payment the Revolving Credit Loans do not exceed such borrowing limitations. Each such payment or prepayment shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders outstanding on the date of payment or prepayment, first, to Base Rate Loans, and, next, to Eurodollar Loans.

(e) Contemporaneously upon receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $500,000, unless a Default or Event of Default then exists (in which event, Section 3.8 shall be controlling), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to: (i) the sum of (x) seventy-five percent (75%) of all Net Cash Proceeds in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year from the disposition of assets whether or not such assets are Collateral hereunder, other than Inventory Collateral and Sold Receivables, plus (y) seventy-five percent (75%) of the Net Cash Proceeds in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year from the disposition of Equipment Collateral, and Properties to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are not used substantially simultaneously to replace such disposed Equipment Collateral and disposed Properties with new Equipment Collateral, or new Properties, as the case may be, and (ii) seventy-five percent (75%) of the Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence of Indebtedness. Such payment shall be accompanied by a detailed calculation showing all deductions from gross proceeds in order to arrive at Net Cash Proceeds, as well as amounts used or reserved for the purchase of replacement Equipment Collateral, if applicable. All such payments from Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied, first, (A) pro rata, to either (1) prepay the Term Loans then outstanding, in prepayment of the principal installments thereof in inverse order of maturity, or (2) to deposit such amount into a bank account held by and pledged (as additional collateral for the Loans and any related interest rate swap obligations) to the Agent on behalf of the Term Lenders on terms and documentation satisfactory to Agent and its counsel; and (B) next, as to any remainder, to the Revolving Credit Loans.

(f) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment and any amounts payable under Section 3.11 or 3.15 in connection with such prepayment.

(g) Each prepayment of any Term Loan shall be subject to any Swap Termination Value for prepayments pursuant to a Swap Contract (if applicable).

(h) Upon Borrower’s receipt of (i) each Contract Termination Payment (if any), Borrower shall comply with the prepayment or cash security provisions of Section 2.7; and (ii) each A-10 Contract Reimbursement Payment (if any), Borrower shall comply with the prepayment provisions of Section 2.3.

(i) If the Borrower decides to proceed with a public offering of its stock and (1) raises $10,000,000 or more, and (2) after giving effect to the receipt of the net proceeds of such public offering Borrower’s Leverage Ratio is 2.0 or more, Borrower shall then promptly utilize an amount equal to 25% of Borrower’s Net Cash Proceeds from such offering to pay down the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.

36

3.5 Commitment Fees; Other Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Commitment Fee set forth in the Applicable Percentage definition times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstanding. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the relevant period that the Revolving Credit Commitments are outstanding including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 5 (inclusive) is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and on the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata account of each Lender on the Closing Date the up front fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter and the fee letter dated the date hereof with each Lender (other than the Agent). Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.

(c) Borrower shall pay to Agent for Agent’s own account, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the letter agreement, dated the date hereof (the “Agent Fee Letter”), between Borrower and Agent. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.

3.6 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in the Base Rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower deliver to the Borrower a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 3.1.

3.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

37

(b) the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (i) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans in U.S. Dollars, (ii) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Loans shall be converted to or continued as Base Rate Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted on the last day of such Interest Period to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

3.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) (i) Each borrowing of Loans by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, as applicable, of the relevant Lenders in effect on the date of such borrowing.

(ii) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower, on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied in inverse order of maturity to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans pro rata based upon the respective then outstanding principal amounts thereof. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(iii) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.

(iv) Each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee hereunder shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the Lenders as of such date.

38

(v) Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders pro rata according to the Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the Lenders on the date of such reduction.

(vi) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower in respect of Loans hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders entitled thereto, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 10.2, in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled to receive the same promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.

(vii) If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Borrower shall repay such Lender’s share of such borrowing (together with interest thereon from the date such amount was made available to the Borrower) at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent specifying such Lender’s share of such borrowing that was not made available to such Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall have the right to pursue any remedies against such Lender for its failure to make its portion of such borrowing available.

39

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to a date on which a payment is due from the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Lenders a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the due date therefor, each applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (c) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, then, in each case under clauses (a) and (b) above, the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(1) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(2) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender).

40

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

3.9 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain the affected Loans and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Eurodollar Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.11.

3.10 Increased Costs.

(a) In the event that the adoption of or any change in any Legal Requirement (or in the interpretation or application thereof) or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(ii) does or shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note, any Loans made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for (A) changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income or profits of such Lender, (B) any tax to the extent that the Borrower is or would be required to pay an additional amount with respect to such tax under Section 3.12 or (C) any tax with respect to which the Borrower would not be required to pay an additional amount under Section 3.12 because payment of such additional amount with respect to such tax would be specifically excluded thereunder);

(iii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(iv) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by any Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by any amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, renewing, maintaining or participating in advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case in respect of its Loans, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon receipt of its demand setting forth in reasonable detail, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, together with interest on each such amount from the date two (2) Business Days after the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the Base Rate. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all amounts outstanding hereunder for a period of one (1) year.

41

(b) The Borrower will pay any Lender, on demand, for such Lender’s costs or losses arising from any Change in Law which are allocated to this Agreement or any credit outstanding under this Agreement. The allocation will be made as determined by such Lender, using any reasonable method. The costs include, without limitation, the following:

(i) any reserve or deposit requirements (excluding any reserve requirement already reflected in the calculation of the interest rate in this Agreement); and

(ii) any capital requirements relating to the Lender’s assets and commitments for credit.

“Change in Law” means the occurrence, after the date of this Agreement, of the adoption or taking effect of any new or changed law, rule, regulation or treaty, or the issuance of any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority; provided that (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives issued in connection with that Act, and (y) all requests, rules guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Change in Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(c) Any request by any Lender for compensation under this Section 3.10 shall be accompanied by a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Lender setting forth such information and calculations supporting such request as such Lender shall customarily provide in similar situations.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

3.11 Indemnity. Without duplication of the provisions of Section 3.15, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any Loans of such Lender, (b) default by the Borrower in any borrowing, continuation or conversion after the Borrower has given a notice of borrowing, a notice of continuation or a notice of conversion in accordance with this Agreement, (c) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with this Agreement or (d) the making of a prepayment, continuation or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, in each case, any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding, in each case, lost profit. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.11, submitted by a Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of all amounts outstanding hereunder.

42

3.12 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.12) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(iii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.12) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

43

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Tax Indemnifications.

(i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.12) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall also, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.12(c)(ii) below.

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, (A) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (B) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

44

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, as provided in this Section 3.12, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.12(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

45

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies (or originals, as required) of 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

46

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.12 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.12, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 3.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to such Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

47

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

3.13 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to fund the refinancing of existing revolving and term indebtedness payable to the Existing Lender pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, pay fees, commissions, Swap Termination Value and expenses in connection therewith, to fund Permitted Acquisitions in accordance with the provisions hereof and for the general working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

3.14 Change in Lending Office; Replacement of Lender.

(a) Each Lender agrees that if it makes any demand for payment under Section 3.10 or 3.12, or if any adoption or change of the type described in Section 3.9 shall occur with respect to it, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to designate a different lending office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if such designation or assignment would reduce or obviate the need for the Borrower to make payments under Section 3.10 or 3.12, or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in Section 3.9.

(b) If any Lender requests any payment under Section 3.10 or 3.12, the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender with one or more replacement lenders, each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement lender shall purchase) all Loans and other amounts owing hereunder to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (ii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.10 or 3.12 for the period prior to replacement and (iii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

Each Cash Management Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

ARTICLE IX: THE AGENT AND THE ARRANGER

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints BankUnited, N.A. as the Administrative Agent and as the Collateral Agent of each such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in such respective capacities, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.

73

9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary), or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.1 and 8.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Any such action taken or failure to act pursuant to the foregoing shall be binding on all Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

74

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties have any duty or obligation to any Lender or participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

9.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent with reasonable care. The Agent may deem and treat the Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, to the extent provided in Section 10.1, all of the Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, to the extent provided in Section 10.1, all of the Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” (and, in the case of the Collateral Agent, shall have received notice thereof as described in the following sentence). In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the other Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

75

9.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent or any Agent’s officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, the Arranger or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Total Loan Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Total Loan Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The entity which is an Agent and its Affiliates may make extensions of credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though the entity which is such Agent were not such Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, such entity shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the entity which is such Agent in its individual capacity.

76

9.9 Successor Agents.

(a) Notice. The Administrative Agent may at any time resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent gives (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective.

(b) Defaulting Lender. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) Effect of Resignation or Removal. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

77

9.10 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contracts. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Sections 8.3 or 9.7, or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or any Collateral Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contracts except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless the Administrative Agent has received a Secured Party Designation Notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contracts in the case of a Termination Date

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required at any time for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (defined below), or for any assignment to any assignee prior to completion of primary syndication of the Loans and Commitments hereunder (as determined by the Arranger in its sole discretion) or if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

83

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed Administrative Questionnaire.

(F) No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person.

(G) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its respective applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

84

For purposes of the minimum assignment sizes set forth in Section 10.6(b) (ii) (A), simultaneous assignments to Approved Funds under common management by a Lender shall be aggregated, provided that any such individual assignment shall not be less than $500,000. For the purposes of this Section 10.6(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender, provided that a hedge fund or similar financial institution that operates like a hedge fund shall not be deemed an Approved Fund.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder (“Assignee”) shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

85

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (v) of Section 10.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c) (ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.8 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10 or 3.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.12 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.12(f) as though it were a Lender.

86

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans owing to it by the Borrower, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in clause (h) of Section 8 or otherwise, except for payments pursuant to the operation of Sections 3.14(b) or 10.6), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans owing to it by the Borrower or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan owing to it by the Borrower or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.8 Counterparts; Execution. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. This Agreement may, upon execution, be delivered by facsimile or electronic mail, which shall be deemed for all purposes to be an original signature.

87

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrower, any Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof or thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

88

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.

89

10.16 Confidentiality. Each Agent and Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of information provided to it by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement (and, if delivered after the date of this Agreement, designated in writing as confidential); provided, however, that any such Person may disclose such information (a) at the request of any regulatory authority having supervisory jurisdiction over it or in connection with an examination of such Person by any such authority or the request of any rating agency requiring access to a Lender’s portfolio, (b) pursuant to subpoena or other court process, (c) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable law, (d) at the direction of any other Governmental Authority, (e) to such Person’s Affiliates, independent auditors and other professional advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (f) which has become generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Person or agent of such Person or a disclosure known to such Person or agent of such Person to have been made by any person or entity to which such Person or agent has delivered such confidential information, (g) which becomes available to such Person from a source other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary (provided that such source is not known to such Person to be bound by a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower or any Subsidiary), (h) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.16, to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations or (i) to any Participant or Assignee or potential Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or any pledgee (or prospective pledgee) (each, a “Pledgee”) of any Lender that is a Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business; provided that such Transferee or Pledgee agrees in writing to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.16.

90

10.19 Interest Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the rate of interest payable shall never exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. If at any time the rate of interest otherwise prescribed herein shall exceed such maximum rate, and such prescribed rate is thereafter below such maximum rate, the prescribed rate shall be increased to the maximum rate for such period of time as is required so that the total amount of interest received by Lenders is that which would have been received by Lenders except for the operation of the first sentence of this Section 10.19.

10.20 Errors and Omissions. The Borrower hereby consents and agrees that in the event any of the documents evidencing and/or securing the Loans misstate or inaccurately reflect the true and correct terms and provisions of the Loans and said misstatement or inaccuracy is due to the unilateral mistake on the part of a Lender, mutual mistake on the part of a Lender and the Borrower or clerical error, then in such event the Borrower shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent and in order to correct such misstatement or inaccuracy, execute such new documents as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary to remedy said inaccuracy or mistake, provided however, such obligation on behalf of the Borrower shall not extend to the execution of any new or redrafted document which materially and adversely adds to or changes the obligations of the Borrower beyond those set forth in or contemplated by the terms hereof. The Borrower agrees to execute all such other and further documents as may or shall be reasonably necessary, as determined solely by the Administrative Agent, in order to give effect to the documents executed (whether in connection with the Loans or any future loan) and so as to confirm the transaction. The Borrower agrees to comply with the reasonable requirements of the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after written notice. Upon the Borrower failing or refusing to comply with the terms and provisions of this Section, such failure shall constitute a default by the Borrower under this Agreement and thereupon, the Lenders shall have all the rights and remedies against the Borrower as otherwise specified in this Agreement and other documents by reason of a default.

10.21 Replacement Documents.

91

10.22 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured, secured or unsecured, or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

[Form of Guaranty Agreement]

COMMERCIAL GUARANTY

Borrower: CPI Aerostructures, Inc. 91 Heartland Blvd. Edgewood, New York 11717 Guarantor:______________________ ______________________ | Lender:BankUnited, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for the Lenders defined below Commercial Lending 14817 Oak Lane Miami Lakes, Florida 33016

CONTINUING GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. For good and valuable consideration, Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantees full and punctual payment and satisfaction of the Indebtedness (defined below) of Borrower to BANKUNITED, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for the Lenders (the “Lender”) under that certain Credit Agreement (defined below), and the performance and discharge of all Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Related Documents. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, so Lender can enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor even when Lender has not exhausted Lender’s remedies against anyone else obligated to pay the Indebtedness or against any collateral securing the Indebtedness, this Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Indebtedness. Guarantor will make any payments to Lender or its order, on demand, in legal tender of the United States of America, in same-day funds, without set-off or deduction or counterclaim, and will otherwise perform Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and Related Documents. Under this Guaranty, Guarantor’s liability is unlimited and Guarantor’s obligations are continuing. If more than one person executes this Guaranty, the obligations hereunder shall be joint and several.

INDEBTEDNESS. The word “Indebtedness” as used in this Guaranty means all Obligations under the Credit Agreement together with all of the principal amount outstanding from time to time and at any one or more times, accrued unpaid interest thereon and all collection costs and legal expenses related thereto permitted by law, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from any and all debts, liabilities and obligations of every nature or form, now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, that Borrower individually or collectively or interchangeably with others, owes or will owe Lender. “Indebtedness” includes, without limitation, loans, advances, debts, overdraft indebtedness, credit card indebtedness, lease obligations, other obligations, and liabilities of Borrower, and any present or future judgments against Borrower, future advances, loans or transactions that renew, extend, modify, refinance, consolidate or substitute these debts, liabilities and obligations whether: voluntarily or involuntarily incurred; due or to become due by their terms or acceleration; absolute or contingent; liquidated or unliquidated; determined or undetermined; direct or indirect; primary or secondary in nature or arising from a guaranty or surety; secured or unsecured; joint or several or joint and several; evidenced by a negotiable or non-negotiable instrument or writing; originated by Lender or another or others; barred or unenforceable against Borrower for any reason whatsoever; for any transactions that may be voidable for any reason (such as infancy, insanity, ultra vires or otherwise); and originated then reduced or extinguished and then afterwards increased or reinstated. Indebtedness also includes, without limitation, all obligations of Borrower arising under any interest rate, credit, commodity or equity swap, cap, floor, collar, forward foreign exchange transaction, currency swap, cross currency rate swap, currency option, securities puts, calls, collars, options or forwards or any combination of, or option with respect to, these or similar transactions now or hereafter entered into between Borrower and Lender.

113

If Lender presently holds one or more guaranties, or hereafter receives additional guaranties from Guarantor, Lender’s rights under all guaranties shall be cumulative. This Guaranty shall not (unless specifically provided below to the contrary) affect or invalidate any such other guaranties. Guarantor’s liability will be Guarantor’s aggregate liability under the terms of this Guaranty and any such other unterminated guaranties.

CONTINUING GUARANTY. THIS IS A “CONTINUING GUARANTY” UNDER WHICH GUARANTOR AGREES TO GUARANTEE THE FULL AND PUNCTUAL PAYMENT, PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION OF THE INDEBTEDNESS OF BORROWER TO LENDER, NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING OR ACQUIRED, ON AN OPEN AND CONTINUING BASIS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY PAYMENTS MADE ON THE INDEBTEDNESS WILL NOT DISCHARGE OR DIMINISH GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY UNDER THIS GUARANTY FOR ANY REMAINING AND SUCCEEDING INDEBTEDNESS EVEN WHEN ALL OR PART OF THE OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS MAY BE A ZERO BALANCE FROM TIME TO TIME.

DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any notice to Guarantor or to Borrower, and will continue in full force until all the Indebtedness incurred or contracted before receipt by Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all of Guarantor’s other obligations under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. If Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty, Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantor’s written notice of revocation must be mailed to Lender, by certified mail, at Lender’s address listed above or such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Written revocation of this Guaranty will apply only to advances or new Indebtedness created after actual receipt by Lender of Guarantor’s written revocation. For this purpose and without limitation, the term “new Indebtedness” does not include the Indebtedness which at the time of notice of revocation is contingent, unliquidated, undetermined or not due and which later becomes absolute, liquidated, determined or due. This Guaranty will continue to bind Guarantor for all the Indebtedness incurred by Borrower or committed by Lender prior to receipt of Guarantor’s written notice of revocation, including any extensions, renewals, substitutions or modifications of the Indebtedness. All renewals, extensions, substitutions, and modifications of the Indebtedness granted after Guarantor’s revocation, are contemplated under this Guaranty and, specifically will not be considered to be new Indebtedness. Release of any other guarantor or termination of any other guaranty of the Indebtedness shall not affect the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. A revocation Lender receives from any one or more Guarantors shall not affect the liability of any remaining Guarantors under this Guaranty. It is anticipated that fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that reductions in the amount of the Indebtedness, even to zero dollars ($0.00), prior to Guarantor’s written revocation of this Guaranty shall not constitute a termination of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and Guarantor’s heirs, successors and assigns so long as any of the Indebtedness remains unpaid and even though the Indebtedness may from time to time be zero dollars ($0.00).

114

GUARANTOR’S AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER. Guarantor authorizes Lender, either before or after any revocation hereof, without notice or demand and without lessening Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, from time to time: (A) prior to revocation as set forth above, to make one or more additional secured or unsecured loans to Borrower, to lease equipment or other goods to Borrower, or otherwise to extend additional credit to Borrower; (B) to alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change one or more times the time for payment or other terms of the Indebtedness or any part of the Indebtedness, including increases and decreases of the rate of interest on the Indebtedness; extensions may be repeated and may be for longer than the original loan term; (C) to take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Indebtedness, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate, fail or decide not to perfect, and release any such security with or without the substitution of new collateral; (D) to release, substitute, agree not to sue, or deal with any one or more of Borrower’s sureties, endorsers, or other guarantors on any terms or in any manner Lender may choose; (E) to determine how, when and what application of payments and credits shall be made on the Indebtedness; (F) to apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, any non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreement or deed of trust, as Lender in its discretion may determine; (G) to sell, transfer, assign or grant participations in all or any part of the Indebtedness; and (H) to assign or transfer this Guaranty in whole or in part.

GUARANTOR’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that (A) no representations or agreements of any kind have been made to Guarantor which would limit or qualify in any way the terms of this Guaranty; (B) this Guaranty is executed at Borrower’s request and not at the request of Lender; (C) Guarantor has full power, right and authority to enter into this Guaranty; (D) the provisions of this Guaranty do not conflict with or result in a default under any agreement or other instrument binding upon Guarantor and do not result in a violation of any law, regulation, court decree or order applicable to Guarantor; (E) Guarantor has not and will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, sell, lease, assign, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, or otherwise● dispose of all or substantially all of Guarantor’s assets, or any interest therein; (F) upon Lender’s request, but not more often than quarterly (unless otherwise set forth in the Credit Agreement), Guarantor will provide to Lender financial and credit information in form acceptable to Lender, and all such financial information which currently has been, and all future financial information which will be provided to Lender is and will be true and correct in all material respects and fairly present Guarantor’s financial condition as of the dates the financial information is provided; (G) no material adverse change has occurred in Guarantor’s financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements provided to Lender and no event has occurred which may materially adversely affect Guarantor’s financial condition; (H) no litigation, claim, investigation, administrative proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid taxes) against Guarantor is pending or threatened, other than any litigation, claim, investigation, administrative proceeding or similar action that could not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change to the Guarantor’s financial condition; (I) Lender has made no representation to Guarantor as to the creditworthiness of Borrower; and (J) Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower on a continuing basis information regarding Borrower’s financial condition. Guarantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events, or circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor’s risks under this Guaranty, and Guarantor further agrees that, absent a request for information, Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Guarantor any information or documents acquired by Lender in the course of its relationship with Borrower.

115

GUARANTOR’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Each Guarantor agrees to furnish Lender with the financial information set forth in the Credit Agreement on or before the due date set forth therein.

GUARANTOR’S FINANCIAL COVENANTS. Each Guarantor shall maintain and/or comply with the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement.

GUARANTOR’S WAIV ERS. Except as prohibited by applicable law, Guarantor waives any right to require Lender (A) to continue lending money or to extend other credit to Borrower; (B) to make any presentment, protest, demand, or notice of any kind, including notice of any nonpayment of the Indebtedness or of any nonpayment related to any collateral, or notice of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower, Lender, any surety, endorser, or other guarantor in connection with the Indebtedness or in connection with the creation of new or additional loans or obligations; (C) to resort for payment or to proceed directly or at once against any person, including Borrower or any other guarantor; (D) to proceed directly against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender from Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person; (E) to pursue any other remedy within Lender’s power; or (F) to commit any act or omission of any kind, or at any time, with respect to any matter whatsoever.

Guarantor also waives any and all rights or defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral including, but not limited to, any rights or defenses arising by reason of (A) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law or any other law which may prevent Lender from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against Guarantor, before or after Lender’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (B) any election of remedies by Lender which destroys or otherwise adversely affects Guarantor’s subrogation rights or Guarantor’s rights to proceed against Borrower for● reimbursement, including without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging the Indebtedness; (C) any disability or other defense of Borrower, of any other guarantor, or of any other person, or by reason of the cessation of Borrower’s liability from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full in legal tender, of the Indebtedness; (D) any right to claim discharge of the Indebtedness on the basis of unjustified impairment of any collateral for the Indebtedness; (E) any statute of limitations, if at any time any action or suit brought by Lender against Guarantor is commenced, there is outstanding Indebtedness which is not barred by any applicable statute of limitations; or (F) any defenses given to guarantors at law or in equity other than actual payment and performance of the Indebtedness. If payment is made by Borrower, whether voluntarily or otherwise, or by any third party, on the Indebtedness and thereafter Lender is forced to remit the amount of that payment to Borrower’s trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person under any federal or state bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors, the Indebtedness shall be considered unpaid for the purpose of the enforcement of this Guaranty.

116

Guarantor further waives and agrees not to assert or claim at any time any deductions to the amount guaranteed under this Guaranty for any claim of setoff, counterclaim, counter demand, recoupment or similar right, whether such claim, demand or right may be asserted by the Borrower, the Guarantor, or both.

GUARANTOR’S UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS. Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor’s full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law or public policy.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Guarantor’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account and whether evidenced by a certificate of deposit). This includes all accounts Guarantor holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Guarantor may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Guarantor authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to hold these funds if there is a default, and Lender may apply the funds in these accounts to pay what Guarantor owes under the terms of this Guaranty.

SUBORDINATION OF BORROWER’S DEBTS TO GUARANTOR. Guarantor agrees that the Indebtedness, whether now existing or hereafter created, shall be superior to any claim that Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes insolvent. Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may have against Borrower, upon any account whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may now or hereafter have against Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent liquidation of the assets of Borrower, through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of Borrower applicable to the payment of the claims of both Lender and Guarantor shall be paid to Lender and shall be first applied by Lender to the Indebtedness. Guarantor does hereby assign to Lender all claims which it may have or acquire against Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower; provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose of assuring to Lender full payment in legal tender of the Indebtedness. If Lender so requests, any notes or credit agreements now or hereafter evidencing any debts or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend that the same are subject to this Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender. Guarantor agrees, and Lender is hereby authorized, in the name of Guarantor, from time to time to file financing statements and continuation statements and to execute documents and to take such other actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce its rights under this Guaranty.

117

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Guaranty:

Amendments. This Guaranty, together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Guaranty. No alteration of or amendment to this Guaranty shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.

Attorneys’ Fees; Expenses. Guarantor agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender’s costs and expenses, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this Guaranty, and Guarantor shall pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Guarantor also shall pay all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.

Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Guaranty are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Guaranty.

Governing Law. This Guaranty will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Guaranty has been accepted by Lender in the State of New York.

Integration. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor has read and fully understands the terms of this Guaranty; Guarantor has had the opportunity to be advised by Guarantor’s attorney with respect to this Guaranty; the Guaranty fully reflects Guarantor’s intentions and parol evidence is not required to interpret the terms of this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from all losses, claims, damages, and costs (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of any breach by Guarantor of the warranties, representations and agreements of this paragraph.

Interpretation. In all cases where there is more than one Borrower or Guarantor, then all words used in this Guaranty in the singular shall be deemed to have been used in the plural where the context and construction so require; and where there is more than one Borrower named in this Guaranty or when this Guaranty is executed by more than one Guarantor, the words “Borrower” and “Guarantor” respectively shall mean all and any one or more of them. The words “Guarantor,” “Borrower,” and “Lender” include the heirs, successors, assigns, and transferees of each of them. If a court finds that any provision of this Guaranty is not valid or should not be enforced, that fact by itself will not mean that the rest of this Guaranty will not be valid or enforced. Therefore, a court will enforce the rest of the provisions of this Guaranty even if a provision of this Guaranty may be found to be invalid or unenforceable. If any one or more of Borrower or Guarantor are corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, or similar entities, it is not necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of Borrower or Guarantor or of the officers, directors, partners, managers, or other agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed under this Guaranty.

No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Guaranty shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Guaranty.

All such requests shall receive the full cooperation and compliance by the undersigned within seven (7) days of the making of the request set forth above. The failure of the undersigned to comply with their obligations hereunder shall constitute a default under the documents executed in connection with said loan and shall entitle Lender or its successors and assigns, to the remedies available for default under the documents executed by the undersigned.

[Form of Legal Opinion]

___________, 2016

BankUnited, N.A.

As Administrative Agent

623 Fifth Avenue, 12th Floor

New York, New York 10022

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to CPI Aerostructures, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Borrower”), in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between the Borrower, the Lenders named therein and BankUnited, N.A., as Sole Arranger, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “Bank”) of even date herewith (the “Credit Agreement”). In connection with this opinion, we have examined executed copies of the Credit Agreement and each of the Revolving Credit Note, the Term Note, the Security Agreement (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) and unfiled copies of UCC Financing Statement Amendments naming Borrower as debtor and naming the Administrative Agent as secured party (the “UCC Financing Statement Amendments”), the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and any other loan document executed in connection with the Credit Agreement that has been provided to us (collectively, the “Loan Documents”), corporate documents and records of the Borrower, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. In stating our opinion, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures of, and the authority of, persons signing the Loan Documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies.

We have assumed for the purposes of the opinions expressed herein, (i) that the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents were duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto (other than the Borrower), (ii) that the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents were the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party (other than the Borrower), enforceable against such parties (other than the Borrower) in accordance with their terms, and (iii) that the parties to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than the Borrower) have the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In addition, we have assumed that (i) the Borrower has, and will have at all times relevant to this opinion, rights in the collateral as to which a security interest has been granted pursuant to the Security Agreement within the meaning of Section 9-203(b)(2) of the UCC (as defined below) and (ii) the Lender gave “value” within the meaning of Section 1-201(44) of the UCC.

In rendering this opinion, as to factual matters not directly within our knowledge, we have relied upon and have assumed the accuracy, completeness and genuineness of representations made by the Borrower set forth in the Agreement and the other Loan Documents and such certificates of public officials as we have deemed necessary or appropriate, and we have undertaken no independent investigation with respect to any such factual matter. With respect to Borrower’s valid existence and good standing referenced in opinion Paragraph 1, we have relied entirely on a good standing certificate from the Department of State of the State of New York (the “Department of State”). In rendering and for purposes of this opinion, with your permission, we have not conducted a litigation search in respect of the Borrower.

126

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York, has the requisite corporate authority, power and legal right to own and operate its properties, to lease properties it operates and to conduct its business as now conducted.

2. The Borrower has the corporate power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents. To our knowledge, no consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents other than the filing of the UCC Financing Statement Amendment.

3. Each of the Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower and each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

4. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents will not violate any provision of law or regulation or any order or decree of any governmental agency or constitute a default under or result in the breach of the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the Borrower or, to our knowledge, any material indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which its property is bound or affected and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any lien on any of its properties pursuant to any requirement of law or, to our knowledge, contractual obligations other than the Loan Documents.

5. By executing and delivering the Security Agreement, the Borrower has granted to the Bank as Agent for the Lenders a valid security interest in the property described as collateral therein to the extent a security interest therein may be created under Article 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). The filing of the UCC Financing Statement Amendments with the Department of State, amending the existing Sovereign Bank, N.A. filings against personal property dated (i) April 16, 2008 as File Number 200804160278614, as amended on December 13, 2012 by File Numbers 201212130691646 and 201212130691634 and (ii) December 13, 2012 as File Number 201212130691658 (together, the “Financing Statements”), will maintain the fully-perfected security interest in the collateral described in the Financing Statements and will perfect a security interest in the collateral described in the UCC Financing Statement Amendments that is not described in the Financing Statements. Based solely on a current search of the records of the Department of State, we are aware of no UCC filing or lien against the Borrower prior in right or lien to the security interests created under the Security Agreement except the existing liens set forth on Schedule 7.3 to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Permitted Liens”). No further action is necessary to create perfected security interests (subject only to the Permitted Liens) in the property pledged as collateral under the Security Agreement to the extent a security interest may be perfected in such property under Article 9 of the UCC.

6. To our knowledge, except as set forth in Schedule 4.6 to the Credit Agreement, there is no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator, court or governmental authority pending or threatened by or against or with respect to the Borrower, the Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or financial condition of the Borrower.

127

Where an opinion is qualified by our knowledge as to a certain matter relating to the Borrower, knowledge is deemed to be based on the actual knowledge of those attorneys that are currently employed by this firm as of the date of this opinion who have been actively engaged on matters for which we have been employed by Borrower.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the effect of rules of law relating to the following: (i) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and/or similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and the obligations of debtors; (ii) equitable principles of general application including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether such equitable principles are considered in an action or proceeding at law or in equity); (iii) the enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provisions as they may be limited under federal or state laws; (iv) constitutional and public policy limitations (regardless of whether considered in an action or proceeding at law or in equity); (v) the enforceability of provisions of a contract that purport to waive, or require waiver of, the obligations of good faith, fair dealing, diligence and reasonableness; (vi) the availability of a remedy under certain circumstances where another remedy has been elected; (vii) limitation on the time after which a remedy may not be enforced; (viii) the enforceability of provisions releasing, exculpating or exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, unlawful conduct, violation of law or public policy or litigation against another party determined adversely to such party; (ix) provisions that, if less than all of the contract is unenforceable, limit the enforceability of the remainder of the contract to circumstances in which the unenforceable portion is not an essential part of the agreed exchange; (x) provisions that govern and afford judicial discretion regarding the determination of damages and entitlement to attorneys’ fees and other costs; and (xi) provisions that permit a party that has materially failed to render or offer performance required by the contract to cure that failure unless (a) permitting a cure would unreasonably hinder the aggrieved party from making substitute arrangements for performance or (b) it was important in the circumstances to the aggrieved party that performance occur by the date stated in the contract.

Notwithstanding our opinions expressed herein, no opinion is expressed with respect to the following kinds of provisions in any agreements: (i) choice of law provisions; (ii) provisions mandating contribution towards judgments or settlements among various parties; (iii) waivers of (a) legal or equitable defenses, (b) rights to damages; (c) rights to counter claim or set off, (d) statutes of limitations, (e) rights to notice, (f) the benefits of statutory, regulatory or constitutional rights, unless and to the extent the statute, regulation or constitution explicitly allows waiver, (g) provisions that authorize self-help and (h) other benefits to the extent they cannot be waived under applicable law; (iv) provisions providing for forfeitures or the recovery of amounts deemed to constitute penalties or for liquidated damages; (v) provisions to submit to the jurisdiction of any process requirements which would otherwise be applicable, and provisions otherwise purporting to affect the jurisdiction and venue of courts; (vi) provisions that attempt to change or waive rules of evidence or fix the method or quantum of proof to be applied in litigation or similar proceedings; and (vii) any federal, state or local law relating to the environment, antitrust, patents and trademarks and intellectual property generally, and telecommunications.

We express no opinion with respect to (i) the enforceability of any security interest in the proceeds of any collateral other than pursuant to Section 9-315 of the UCC, (ii) any security interest in commercial tort claims or (iii) any collateral of a type described in Section 9-501(a)(1) of the UCC. We express no opinion with respect to the priority of any security interest or lien in any collateral and, except as expressly provided in opinion Paragraph 5 above, we further express no opinion as to the respective rights of any creditor, encumbrancer or other third party as against the rights of the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement). In addition, our opinions relating to the creation and perfection of security interests may be limited by the effect of Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 and 9-409 of the UCC.

128

No opinion is expressed herein other than as to the law of the State of New York and the Federal law of the United States of America. We express no opinion with respect to the law of any other state of the United States or any foreign country.

This opinion is furnished in accordance with the Guidelines for the Preparation of Closing Opinions promulgated by the Section of Business Law of the American Bar Association (February 2002), and is to be interpreted in accordance therewith. This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. This opinion letter is rendered as of the date first written above, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which may alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein.
