(a) All representations and warranties of Borrower contained herein or in the Loan Documents shall be true at and as of the date of such Advance as if made on such date, and each request for an Advance shall constitute reaffirmation by Borrower or Guarantors that such representations and warranties are then true.

3. INTEREST RATE.

3.1 Interest. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note will, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, accrue at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date of the Note until final payment.

3.2 Default Interest. Interest will accrue on the principal balance of the Note after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or the Maturity Date at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).

3.3 Post Judgment Interest. Any judgment obtained for sums due hereunder or under the Loan Documents will accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid.

3.4 Calculation. Interest will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.

3.5 Limitation of Interest to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event will the rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law (including the choice of law rules) and any interest paid in excess of the permitted rate will be refunded to Borrower. Such refund will be made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any sums outstanding hereunder and will be applied in such order as Bank may determine. If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding, the portion exceeding the sums outstanding will be refunded in cash by Bank. Any such crediting or refunding will not cure or waive any default by Borrower. Borrower agrees, however, that in determining whether or not any interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any non- principal payment, including without limitation prepayment fees and late charges, will be deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest.

4. PAYMENTS AND FEES.

4.1 Payment Method. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit all payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Loan on the date due from any deposit account maintained by Borrower with Bank. Otherwise, Borrower will be obligated to make such payments directly to Bank by wire transfer pursuant to instructions given from time to time by Bank to Borrower. All payments are to be made in immediately available funds. If Bank accepts payment in any other form, such payment shall not be deemed to have been made until the funds comprising such payment have actually been received by or made available to Bank.

4.2 Interest Payments. Borrower will pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Note in arrears on the first day of each calendar month, commencing February 1, 2015, and upon payment in full of the Note.

4.3 Loan Fee. In consideration of Bank’s agreements contained herein, Borrower shall pay to Bank at the closing hereunder a non-refundable fee of $250,000.

4.4 Late Charge. In the event that Borrower fails to pay any interest or any fees or expenses payable hereunder within fifteen (15) days after any such payment is first due, in addition to paying such sums, Borrower will pay to Bank a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such past due payment as compensation for the expenses incident to such past due payment.

4.5 Prepayments. The Note and all accrued interest thereon may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, at any time; provided, that if such prepayment is paid prior to the 90 day anniversary of the Note, then the prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, plus the amount specified in Section 7(b) of the Note. Mandatory prepayments are required pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.4 hereof.

4.6 Application of Payments. Any and all payments on account of the Loan will be applied to accrued and unpaid interest, outstanding principal and other sums due

hereunder or under the Loan Documents, in such order as Bank, in its discretion, elects. If Borrower makes a payment or payments and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or payments, the obligations or part thereof hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.

4.7 Loan Account. Bank will open and maintain on its books a loan account (the “Loan Account”) with respect to the Loan, repayments, prepayments, the computation and payment of interest and fees and the computation and final payment of all other amounts due and sums paid to Bank under this Agreement. Except in the case of manifest error in computation, the Loan Account will be conclusive and binding on the Borrower as to the amount at any time due to Bank from Borrower under this Agreement or the Note.

4.8 Indemnity; Loss of Margin. In the event that any present or future law, rule, regulation, treaty or official directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any central bank, monetary authority or governmental authority, or the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank, monetary authority or governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):

(a) subjects Bank to any tax with respect to any amounts payable under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (except for taxes on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof); or

(b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit, capital maintenance, capital adequacy, or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans or Advances or commitment to make loans or Advances by, the Bank; or

(c) imposes upon Bank any other condition with respect to extensions of credit or the commitment to make Advances or extensions of credit under this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs of Bank, reduce the income receivable by or return on equity of Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with respect to any extensions of credit or commitments to make extensions of credit under this Agreement, Bank shall so notify Borrower in writing. Borrower agrees to pay Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income, reduced return on equity or capital, or additional expense within ten (10) days after presentation by Bank of a statement concerning such increase in cost, reduction in income, reduced return on equity or capital, or additional expense. Such statement shall set forth a brief explanation of the amount and Bank’s calculation of the amount (in determining such amount the Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods), which statement shall be conclusively deemed correct absent manifest error. If the amount set forth in such statement is not paid within ten (10) Business Days after such presentation of such statement, interest will be payable on the unpaid amount at the Default Rate from the due date until paid, both before and after judgment.

5. SECURITY: COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES AND PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL.

5.1 Personal Property. As security for the full and timely payment and performance of all Bank Indebtedness, Borrower is granting to Bank a security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement.

5.2 General. The above-described security interests and liens shall not be rendered void by the fact that no Bank Indebtedness exists as of any particular date, but shall continue in full force and effect until the Bank Indebtedness has been repaid and Bank has no agreement or commitment outstanding pursuant to which Bank may extend credit to or on behalf of Borrower. IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENT OF THE BORROWER THAT ALL OF THE COLLATERAL SHALL SECURE NOT ONLY THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, BUT ALSO ALL OTHER PRESENT AND FUTURE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER TO BANK.

6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

6.1 Valid Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly subsisting and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has full power and authority to execute, deliver and comply with the Loan Documents, and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified as a foreign corporation in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the character or location of the properties owned by it or the business transacted by it requires such licensing or qualification, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

6.2 Licenses. Borrower has all licenses, registrations, approvals and other authority as may be necessary to enable Borrower to (i) own and operate its business and perform all services and business which Borrower performs in any state, municipality or other jurisdiction, except where the failure to be so licensed or registered or to have such approval or authority could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (ii) act and operate as a business development company and an investment company (as that term is used in the Investment Company Act), and is registered as an investment company under such Act.

6.3 Purchase Documents; The Purchased Loans. Each of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in the Purchase Documents is true correct as of the date when made, is true and correct on the date hereof, and will remain true and correct until the Bank Indebtedness is paid in full. To the best knowledge of Borrower, each of the representations and warranties of Fifth Third Bank (“Seller”) and any other seller of the promissory notes made in the Purchase Documents was true and correct on the date when made and is true and correct as of the date hereof. Borrower has heretofore delivered to Bank the original Purchased Notes and all original assignments thereof in favor of Borrower, including those delivered by Seller and other sellers to Borrower under the Purchase Documents, together with instruments of assignment duly endorsed in blank by Borrower. As of the date hereof, the principal balance outstanding and accrued and unpaid interest on each Purchased Loan is

identified on Schedule 7.6 of the Security Agreement, together with other information relating to the Purchased Loans and the Subordination Agreement relating to the Fifth Third Acquired Notes, and all of such information is true and correct. To the best knowledge of Borrower, there is no Event of Default (as defined in the Purchased Notes or the Credit Agreement) or event with, the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, and no Person has any right of set-off, defense or counterclaim to any of the obligations under the Purchased Notes or any obligations related thereto. Schedule 6.3 hereto lists all of the interest payments received by U.S. Bank, N.A. from September 15, 2014 to November 15, 2014 under each of the Notes listed in Paragraphs 5 through 17 on Schedule A to the Control Agreement.

6.4 Financial Statements. Borrower’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 and (b) its internally prepared interim consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for its fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2014, are correct and complete, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and the results of operations of Borrower at such dates and for the periods reported thereon, and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. With respect to the interim statements, such statements are subject to year-end adjustment and any accompanying footnotes.

6.5 No Material Adverse Effect. No Material Adverse Effect has occurred since January 1, 2013.

6.6 Pending Litigation or Proceedings. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.6 attached hereto, there are no judgments outstanding or actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, at law or in equity or before or by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

6.7 Due Authorization: No Legal Restrictions. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents, the consummation by Borrower of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the fulfillment and compliance with the respective terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents: (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or other action of Borrower, (b) will not conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or might, upon the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, constitute a default) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any applicable statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance, or Borrower’s formation or governing documents or any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound or affected, or any judgment or order of any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, and (c) will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of Borrower under the terms or provisions of any such agreement or instrument, except liens in favor of Bank.

6.8 Enforceability. The Loan Documents have been duly executed by Borrower and delivered to Bank and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower,

enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally.

6.9 No Default Under Other Obligations, Orders or Governmental Regulations. Borrower is not in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation or governing documents, and Borrower is not in material default in the performance or observance of any of its obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any indenture or other agreement creating, evidencing or securing any Indebtedness or pursuant to which any such Indebtedness is issued or in violation of or in default under any other agreement or instrument or any judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or governmental regulation, applicable to it or by which its properties may be bound or affected.

6.10 Governmental Consents. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of Borrower is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

6.11 Taxes. Borrower has filed all tax returns which it is required to file and has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all taxes which have or may have become due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by it except such taxes (other than real estate taxes which must be paid regardless of challenge), if any, as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly initiated and diligently conducted by Borrower and with respect to which neither execution nor a foreclose sale or similar procedure has been commenced (or such proceedings have been stayed pending the disposition of such contest of validity), and (a) it shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and (b) either (i) it shall have deposited with Bank adequate cash reserves with respect thereto or (ii) Bank shall have established an adequate reserve against Eligible Receivables with respect thereto (each the “Tax Reserve”). Such tax returns are complete and accurate in all respects. Borrower has received no written notice of any proposed additional assessment or basis for any assessment of additional taxes.

6.12 Title to Collateral; Possession. The Collateral is and will be owned by Borrower free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances of any kind (including liens or other encumbrances upon properties acquired or to be acquired under conditional sales agreements or other title retention devices), excepting only liens in favor of the Bank and the Permitted Liens. Borrower will defend the Collateral against any claims of all persons or entities other than the Bank. Because of applicable statutory or regulatory restrictions, Borrower is not as of the date hereof permitted to give Bank itself physical possession of the promissory notes which are part of the Collateral because of regulations relating to business development companies, but Bank will be deemed to have possession thereof pursuant to Section 9-314(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code by virtue of acknowledgements from U.S. Bank, National Association and Fifth Third Bank, that while such entities have possession of such promissory notes, they are holding possession for Bank’s benefit

Borrower has complied in all material respects with the provisions of all material agreements and other documents to which it is a party or by which it is bound and is not in material default thereunder. To Borrower’s knowledge, no other party is in material default under any such material documents or Purchase Documents and no event has occurred which, but for the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an event of default thereunder. Borrower has delivered to Bank true, complete and correct copies of all of the Fifth Third Purchase Agreements, and copies of the Fifth Third Acquired Notes and the Specified Notes and all related Subordination Agreements, and there have been no amendments thereto.

6.17 Intellectual Property.

6.20 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. No representation or warranty by Borrower contained herein or in any certificate or other document furnished by Borrower pursuant hereto or in connection herewith fails to contain any statement of material fact necessary to make such representation or warranty not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made.

In addition, Borrower hereby appoints Bank and each of its officers with full power of substitution, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, to take any and all action in Borrower’s name, place and stead, as Bank shall deem necessary or appropriate with respect to such default. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest, and is irrevocable.

7.3 [Intentionally Omitted]

7.4 Disposition of Assets; Certain Prepayments. Borrower will not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose (a “Disposition”) of any of its property or assets except for the sale of assets in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, consistent with past practices, that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower may also from time to time sell a portion of the Collateral, provided that such sale could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and the cash proceeds of such sale are in excess of 90% of the market value of such Collateral as set forth in the valuations therefor as of October 31, 2014 previously given by Borrower to Bank, and provided further that, in such case, and in the case of any Disposition referred to in the first sentence of this Paragraph, (a) as of the date of such sale and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, (b) Bank shall have received not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of such sale, and (c) Borrower shall, within one Business Day after the receipt of the proceeds of any such Disposition, pay to Bank, as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans, all of the proceeds of such Disposition (net of any taxes payable by Borrower with respect to such Disposition, and reasonable expenses incurred by Borrower relating thereto) which is a Disposition of any equity interest or loans or notes receivable of Borrower. Borrower shall also make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to the net proceeds of any Disposition by any specified subsidiary of any equity interest or loans or Notes receivable incurred, by any entity of which Borrower owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the equity interests of such entity (a “Specified Subsidiary”). Any such sale of Collateral shall not terminate Bank’s security interest in the proceeds of any such sale of Collateral, and such

proceeds shall be required to be paid by Borrower concurrently with Borrower’s receipt thereof, as a mandatory prepayment of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees that this Section 7.4 shall not (except as set forth above with respect to Dispositions or any sales of Collateral) in any way constrain or affect Borrower’s ability to deal with its debt or equity investments in the ordinary course of its business, including, but not limited to, amending loan documents, extending maturities, modifying interest rates or granting discounts (otherwise permitted by any applicable subordination or intercreditor agreement), granting waivers or forbearances, and dealing with its collateral, in each case in Borrower’s reasonable discretion as a lender in the normal course of its prior practices; provided that no modification of any existing subordination agreement or any new subordination agreement shall be agreed to by Borrower, and Borrower shall not give any waivers under any such agreements, nor shall there be a Disposition of any of the Collateral without Borrower’s prior written consent (except as set forth above).

Bank agrees to give, within two (2) Business Days after it receives a request therefor by MVC, a notice to the U.S. Bank, N.A. under the Control Agreement directing that the portion of the Collateral which is the subject of a sale permitted under this Section 7.4 may be released to Borrower, provided that at the time it gives such direction, it is satisfied in its reasonable discretion that the conditions for sale of such Collateral referred in this Section 7.4 have been satisfied.

To the extent that the Bank receives under the Control Agreement payments made under the Purchased Notes pursuant to the Control Agreement which are not regularly scheduled interest payments under the Purchased Notes, such payments will be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Note.

7.5 Merger; Consolidation; Business Acquisitions: Subsidiaries. Borrower will not merge into or consolidate with any Person, acquire any material portion of the stock, ownership interests, assets or business of any Person, or permit any Person to merge into it; provided, however, that Equus Total Return, Inc. shall be permitted to merge into or consolidate with Borrower, provided that Borrower is the surviving corporation.

7.6 Taxes; Claims for Labor and Materials. Borrower will pay or cause to be paid when due all taxes, assessments, governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or its income, profits, payroll or any property belonging to it, including without limitation all withholding taxes, and all claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon any of its properties or assets; provided that it shall not be required to pay any such tax (other than real estate taxes which must be paid regardless of challenge), assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly initiated and diligently conducted by it, and neither execution nor foreclosure sale or similar proceedings shall have been commenced in respect thereof (or such proceedings shall have been stayed pending the disposition of such contest of validity), and (a) it shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and (b) either (i) it shall have deposited with Bank adequate cash reserves with respect thereto or (ii) Bank shall have established a Tax Reserve with respect thereto. Borrower will not file or consent to the filing of, any consolidated income tax return with any Person other than a Subsidiary.

7.7 Liens. Borrower will not create, incur or permit to exist any mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, lien, security interest or charge of any kind (including liens or charges upon properties acquired or to be acquired under conditional sales agreements or other title retention devices) on its property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or upon any income, profits or proceeds therefrom on the Collateral, other than the Permitted Liens.

7.8 Existence; Approvals; Qualification; Business Operations; Compliance with Laws. Borrower will (a) obtain, preserve and keep in full force and effect its separate corporate existence and all rights, licenses, registrations and franchises necessary to the proper conduct of its business or affairs, including, without limitation, its registration under the Investment Company Act; (b) qualify and remain qualified as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the character or location of the properties owned by it or the business transacted by it requires such qualification except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be a business development company (as that term is used in the Investment Company Act) expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) continue to operate its business as presently operated and will not engage in any new businesses without the prior written consent of Bank not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned. Borrower will comply in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable laws and all rules, regulations (including environmental regulations) and orders of regulatory agencies and authorities having jurisdiction over it, including, without limitation, the Investment Company Act, and Borrower will continue to qualify, and be licensed, as a business development company (as that term is used in the Investment Company Act).

7.9 Maintenance of Properties, Intellectual Property. Borrower will maintain, preserve, protect and keep or cause to be maintained, preserved, protected and kept its real and personal property used or useful in the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and will pay and discharge when due the cost of repairs to and maintenance of the same.

Borrower will, if requested by Bank, (a) execute and deliver to Bank assignments, financing statements, patent mortgages or such other documents, in form and substance acceptable to Bank, necessary to perfect and maintain Bank’s security interest in all existing and future patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, and other general intangibles owned by Borrower; (b) furnish Bank with evidence satisfactory to Bank, in its sole discretion, that all actions necessary to maintain and protect each trademark and patent owned by Borrower or its employees have been taken in a timely manner; and (c) execute and deliver to Bank an agreement permitting Bank to exercise all of Borrower’s rights in, to and under any patent or trademark owned by Borrower or any of its employees.

7.10 Insurance. Borrower will carry adequate insurance issued by an insurer reasonably acceptable to Bank, in amounts and against all such liability and hazards as are usually carried by entities engaged in the same or a similar business similarly situated or as may be required by Bank. In the case of insurance on any of the Collateral, Borrower shall carry insurance in the full insurable value thereof and cause Bank to be named as loss payee (with a Bank’s loss payable endorsement) with respect to all personal property, and additional insured with respect to all liability insurance, as its interests may appear with thirty (30) days’ notice to

be given Bank by the insurance carrier prior to cancellation or material modification of such insurance coverage.

Borrower shall cause to be delivered to Bank the insurance policies therefor or, in the alternative, evidence of insurance, and at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such insurance, additional policies or duplicates thereof or, in the alternative, evidence of insurance evidencing the renewal of such insurance and payment of the premiums therefor. Upon Bank’s request after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall direct all insurers that in the event of any loss thereunder or the cancellation of any insurance policy, the insurers shall make payments for such loss and pay all returned or unearned premiums directly to Bank and not to Borrower and Bank jointly.

In the event of any insurable loss, Borrower will give Bank prompt notice thereof and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may make proof of loss whether the same is done by Borrower. Bank is granted a power of attorney by Borrower with full power of substitution such that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall be entitled to file any proof of loss in Borrower’s or Bank’s name, to endorse Borrower’s name on any check, draft or other instrument evidencing insurance proceeds, and to take any action or sign any document to pursue any insurance loss claim. Such power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable.

In the event of any loss for which insurance proceeds are disbursed to Bank, Bank, at its option, may (a) retain and apply all or any part of the insurance proceeds to reduce, in such order and amounts as Bank may elect, the Bank Indebtedness, or (b) disburse all or any part of such insurance proceeds to or for the benefit of Borrower for the purpose of repairing or replacing Collateral after receiving proof satisfactory to Bank of such repair or replacement, in either case without waiving or impairing the Bank Indebtedness or any provision of this Agreement. Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by Borrower to Bank upon demand. Borrower shall not take out any insurance without having Bank named as loss payee or additional insured thereon. Borrower shall bear the full risk of loss from any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Borrower suffers a casualty loss and desires to use the proceeds of its casualty loss insurance to repair or replace damaged equipment which was Collateral hereunder, Bank will permit Borrower to utilize the proceeds of such insurance solely to purchase such replacement equipment and inventory or to repair such equipment, provided that: (i) Borrower confirms to Bank in writing that it intends to continue its business operations, (ii) Bank will hold such insurance proceeds and will disburse such proceeds upon receipt by Bank of evidence satisfactory to Bank that such proceeds will be used to purchase equipment and inventory as required above, (iii) disbursement of proceeds will be in compliance with such procedures as Bank may require, e.g. checks payable to the equipment vendor or inventory supplier, (iv) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (v) such loss does not occur within four (4) months of the expiration of the Maturity Date.

7.11 Inspections: Examinations. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs all accountants and auditors employed by Borrower at any time to exhibit and deliver to Bank copies of any and all of Borrower’s financial statements, trial balances or other accounting

records of any sort in the accountant’s or auditor’s possession and copies of all reports submitted to Borrower by such accountants or auditors, including management letters, “comment” letters and audit reports, and to disclose to Bank any information they may have concerning Borrower’s financial status and business operations. Borrower further authorizes all federal, state and municipal authorities to furnish to Bank copies of reports or examinations relating to Borrower, whether made by Borrower or otherwise.

Bank and its agents may and, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon reasonable prior notice and during regular business hours, visit and inspect any of the properties of Borrower, examine (either by Bank’s employees or by independent accountants or other agents) any of the Collateral or other assets of Borrower, including the books of account of Borrower, and discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Borrower with its officers and with its independent accountants, at such times as Bank may desire. Borrower will pay Bank’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection with such visits and inspections not more than twice in any calendar year; provided however, after the occurrence of an Event of Default there shall be no limit on Borrower’s obligations to reimburse Bank for its costs and expenses in connection with such visits and inspections.

7.12 Default Under Other Indebtedness. Borrower will not permit any of its Indebtedness to be in default if such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. If any Indebtedness of Borrower is declared or becomes due and payable before its expressed maturity by reason of default or otherwise or, to the knowledge of Borrower, the holder of any such Indebtedness shall have the right (or upon the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, shall have the right) to declare such Indebtedness to be so due and payable, Borrower will immediately give Bank written notice of such declaration, acceleration or right of declaration.

7.13 Pension Plans. Borrower will (a) keep in full force and effect any and all Plans which are presently in existence or may, from time to time, come into existence under ERISA, unless such Plans can be terminated without material liability to Borrower in connection with such termination (as distinguished from any continuing funding obligation); (b) make contributions to all of Borrower’s Plans in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to comply with the requirements of ERISA; (c) comply with all material requirements of ERISA which relate to such Plans so as to preclude the occurrence of any Reportable Event, Prohibited Transaction or material “accumulated funding deficiency” as such term is defined in ERISA; and (d) notify Bank promptly upon receipt by Borrower of any notice of the institution of any proceeding or other action which may result in the termination of any Plan and deliver to Bank, promptly after the filing or receipt thereof, copies of all reports or notices which Borrower files or receives under ERISA with or from the Internal Revenue Service, the PBGC, or the U.S. Department of Labor.

7.14 Amendment to Formation or Governing Documents. Borrower shall not make any amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation or other governing documents without providing Bank with ten (10) day’s prior notice thereof. Borrower will provide Bank with a copy of any proposed amendments to its formation or governing documents prior to adoption. Borrower will not cause or permit any corporate division or similar event with respect to such Borrower.

7.15 Name; Address or State of Organization Change. Borrower will not change its name or change or add any address or location except upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Bank and delivery to Bank of any items requested by Bank to maintain perfection and priority of Bank’s security interests and access to Borrower’s books and records. Borrower shall not change its state of organization or take any action which would result in a change in Borrower’s state of organization without Bank’s prior written consent.

7.16 Notices. Borrower will promptly notify Bank of (a) any action or proceeding brought against Borrower wherein such action or proceeding could, if determined adversely to Borrower, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) Borrower’s becoming aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

7.17 Additional Documents and Future Actions. Borrower will, at its sole cost, take such actions and provide Bank from time to time with such agreements, financing statements and additional instruments, documents or information as the Bank may deem necessary or advisable to perfect, protect, maintain or enforce the security interests in the Collateral, to permit Bank to protect or enforce its interest in the Collateral, or to carry out the terms of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Bank as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to take such actions as Bank may deem advisable to protect the Collateral and its interests thereon and its rights hereunder, to execute on Borrower’s behalf and file at Borrower’s expense financing statements, and amendments thereto, in those public offices deemed necessary or appropriate by Bank to establish, maintain and protect a continuously perfected security interest in the Collateral, and to execute on Borrower’s behalf such other documents and notices as Bank may deem advisable to protect the Collateral and its interests therein and its rights hereunder. Such power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable.

7.18 No Amendment or Waiver of Purchase Documents or Subordination Agreements. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 7.4, Borrower will not, without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be withheld by Bank in its sole discretion), agree to any amendment or modification of, or grant any waiver under, any of the Purchase Documents, the Subordination Agreements, the Fifth Third Acquired Notes or the Specified Notes.

At any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may without notice or demand, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Bank to or for the credit of Borrower against any or all of the Bank Indebtedness and the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

If any bank account of Borrower with Bank is attached or otherwise liened or levied upon by any third party, Bank need not await the running of any applicable grace period hereunder, but Bank shall have and be deemed to have the immediate right of set-off and may apply the funds or amount thus set-off against Borrower’s obligations to the Bank.

10.4 Turnover of Property Held by Bank. Borrower irrevocably authorizes any Affiliate of Bank, upon and following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of Bank and without further notice, to turn over to Bank any property of Borrower held by such Affiliate, including without limitation, funds and securities for such Borrower’s account and to debit, for the benefit of Bank, any deposit account maintained by Borrower with such Affiliate (even if such deposit account is not then due or there results a loss or reduction of interest or the imposition of a penalty in accordance with law applicable to the early withdrawal of time deposits), in the amount requested by Bank up to the amount of the Bank Indebtedness, and to pay or transfer such amount or property to Bank for application to the Bank Indebtedness.

10.5 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Bank to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under the Loan Documents upon the occurrence and/or during the continuance of any Event of Default or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof or impair any such right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of any Event of Default shall affect any later Event of Default or shall impair any rights of Bank. No single, partial or full exercise of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges by the Bank shall preclude further or other exercise thereof. No course of dealing between Bank and Borrower shall operate as or be deemed to constitute a waiver of Bank’s rights under the Loan Documents or affect the duties or obligations of Borrower.

10.6 Remedies Cumulative: Consents. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be

in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges in Bank’s favor at law or in equity. Whenever Bank’s consent or approval is required, such consent or approval shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of Bank.

10.7 Certain Fees, Costs, Expenses, Expenditures and Indemnification. Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of Bank, including without limitation:

(a) all costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents, and the other documents to be delivered in connection therewith, or any amendments, extensions and increases to any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, and the cost of appraisals and reappraisals of Collateral), and the cost of periodic lien searches and tax clearance certificates, as Bank deems advisable;

(b) all losses, costs and expenses in connection with the enforcement, protection and preservation of the Bank’s rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, or any other agreement relating to any Bank Indebtedness, or in connection with legal advice relating to the rights or responsibilities of Bank (including without limitation court costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of accountants and appraisers); and

(c) any and all stamp and other taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and all liabilities to which Bank may become subject as the result of delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes.

In the event Borrower shall tail to pay taxes, insurance, assessments, costs or expenses which it is required to pay hereunder, or fails to keep the Collateral free from security interests or liens (except as expressly permitted herein), or fails to maintain or repair the Collateral as required hereby, or otherwise breaches any obligations under the Loan Documents, Bank in its discretion, may make expenditures for such purposes and the amount so expended (including attorney’s fees and expenses, filing fees and other charges) shall be payable by Borrower on demand and shall constitute part of the Bank Indebtedness.

With respect to any amount required to be paid by Borrower under this Section, in the event Borrower fails to pay such amount on demand, Borrower shall also pay to Bank interest thereon at the highest default rate set forth herein.

Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, Bank and Bank’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (whether or not such Person is a party to any litigation), including attorney’s fees and costs and costs of investigation, document production, attendance at depositions or other discovery with respect to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the use of any proceeds advanced hereunder, the transactions contemplated hereunder, or any claim, demand, action or cause of action being asserted against Borrower or any of its Affiliates, shareholders, members, managers, directors or officers.

Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Bank Indebtedness.

10.8 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in Borrower’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

11. COMMUNICATIONS AND NOTICES.

11.1 Communications and Notices. All notices, requests and other communications made or given in connection with the Loan Documents shall be in writing and, unless receipt is stated herein to be required, shall be deemed to have been validly given if delivered personally to the individual or division or department to whose attention notices to a party are to be addressed, or by private carrier, or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by electronic delivery method with the original forwarded by first-class mail, in all cases, with charges prepaid, addressed as follows, until some other address (or individual or division or department for attention) shall have been designated by notice given by one party to the other:

12. WAIVERS.

12.1 Waivers. In connection with any proceedings under the Loan Documents, including without limitation any action by Bank in replevin, foreclosure or other court process or in connection with any other action related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder, Borrower waives:

(a) all errors, defects and imperfections in such proceedings;

(b) all benefits under any present or future laws exempting any property, real or personal, or any part of any proceeds thereof from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution to be issued on any judgment recovered under any of the Loan Documents or in any replevin or foreclosure proceeding, or otherwise providing for any valuation, appraisal or exemption;

(c) presentment for payment, demand, notice of demand, notice of non-payment, protest and notice of protest of any of the Loan Documents, including the Note;

(d) any requirement for bonds, security or sureties required by statute, court rule or otherwise;

(e) any demand for possession of Collateral prior to commencement of any suit; and

(f) all rights to claim or recover attorney’s fees and costs in the event that Borrower is successful in any action to remove, suspend or prevent the enforcement of a judgment entered by confession.

12.2 Forbearance; Confession of Judgment. Bank may release, compromise, forbear with respect to, waive, suspend, extend or renew any of the terms of the Loan Documents, without notice to Borrower. Bank agrees that it shall not exercise the remedy of confession of judgment contained in the Note until at least 90 days after the declaration of an Event of Default by the Bank.

12.3 Limitation on Liability. Except as provided below, Borrower shall be responsible for and Bank is hereby released from any claim or liability in connection with:

(a) Safekeeping any Collateral;

(b) Any loss or damage to any Collateral;

(d) Any act or default of another Person.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, Bank shall only be liable for any act or omission on its part constituting gross

willful misconduct. In the event that Bank breaches its required standard of conduct, Borrower agrees that its liability shall be only for direct damages suffered and shall not extend to consequential or incidental damages. In the event Borrower brings suit against Bank in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder and Bank is found not to be liable, Borrower will indemnity and hold Bank harmless from all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by Bank in connection with such suit. This Agreement is not intended to obligate Bank to take any action with respect to the Collateral or to incur expenses or perform any obligation or duty of Borrower.

13. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.

13.1 Submission to Jurisdiction. Borrower hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and irrevocably agrees that, subject to the Bank’s election, all actions or proceedings relating to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be litigated in such courts, and Borrower waives any objection which it may have based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all such service of process be made by mail or messenger directed to it at the address set forth in Section 11.1. Nothing contained in this Section 13.1 shall affect the right of Bank to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Bank to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

14. MISCELLANEOUS.

14.1 Brokers. The transaction contemplated hereunder was brought about and entered into by Bank and Borrower acting as principals and without any brokers, agents or finders being the effective procuring cause hereof. Borrower represents to Bank that Borrower has not committed Bank to the payment of any brokerage fee or commission in connection with this transaction. If any such claim is made against Bank by any broker, finder or agent or any other Person, Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank harmless against any such claim, at Borrower’s own cost and expense, including Bank’s attorneys’ fees. Borrower further agrees that until any such claim or demand is adjudicated in Bank’s favor, the amount claimed and/or demanded shall be deemed part of the Bank Indebtedness secured by the Collateral.

14.2 Use of Bank’s Name. Borrower shall not use Bank’s name or the name of any of Bank’s Affiliates in connection with any of its business or activities except as may otherwise be required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any like regulatory body and except as may be required in its dealings with any governmental agency.

14.4 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower in the Loan Documents shall be true at all times this Agreement is in effect and

shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, any investigation at any time made by Bank or on its behalf and the making by Bank of the loans or advances to Borrower. All statements contained in any certificate, statement or other document delivered by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be deemed representations and warranties by Borrower.

14.5 No Assignment by Borrower. Borrower may not assign any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Bank.

14.12 Law Governing. This Agreement has been made, executed and delivered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of such State.

14.13 Integration. The Loan Documents shall be construed as integrated and complementary of each other, and as augmenting and not restricting Bank’s rights, powers, remedies and security. The Loan Documents contain the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the matters contained therein and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and do not require parol or extrinsic evidence in order to reflect the intent of the parties. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

14.14 Exhibits and Schedules. All exhibits and schedules attached hereto are hereby made a part of this Agreement.

14.15 Headings. The headings of the Articles, Sections, paragraphs and clauses of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement.

14.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart signature.

(1) Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 5 hereof, no account, instrument, chattel paper or other obligation or property of any kind due from, owed by, or belonging to, a Sanctioned Person or (ii) any lease in which the lessee is a Sanctioned Person shall be Collateral.

(2) Bank may reject or refuse to accept any Collateral for credit toward payment of the Bank Indebtedness that is an account, instrument, chattel paper, lease, or other obligation or property of any kind due from, owed by, or belonging to, a Sanctioned Person.

The proceeds of the Loan will not be used and have not been used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country.

(d) Certain Defined Terms. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

BORROWER AND BANK AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF BORROWER AND BANK TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL REGARDING THIS SECTION, THAT IT FULLY UNDERSTANDS ITS TERMS, CONTENT AND EFFECT, AND THAT IT VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION.

14.19 Acknowledgement of Confession of Judgment Provisions. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE NOTE AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTAIN PROVISIONS WHEREBY BANK MAY ENTER JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION AGAINST BORROWER. BEING FULLY AWARE OF ITS RIGHTS TO PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING ON THE QUESTION OF THE VALIDITY OF ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE ASSERTED AGAINST IT BY BANK UNDER THE NOTE AND LOAN DOCUMENTS BEFORE JUDGMENT CAN BE ENTERED, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES THESE RIGHTS AND AGREES AND CONSENTS TO BANK ENTERING JUDGMENT AGAINST BORROWER BY CONFESSION. ANY PROVISION IN A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS FOR AN ATTORNEY’S COLLECTION COMMISSION SHALL IN NO WAY LIMIT BORROWER’S LIABILITY TO REIMBURSE BANK FOR ALL LEGAL FEES ACTUALLY INCURRED BY BANK, EVEN IF SUCH FEES ARE IN EXCESS OF THE ATTORNEY’S COLLECTION COMMISSION PROVIDED FOR IN SUCH CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT.
