THIS WAIVER AND SIXTH AMENDMENT TO FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of July 30, 2013 by and among GSE ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., a Delaware corporation f/k/a Gundle/SLT Environmental, Inc. (the “Borrower”), the other Persons party hereto that are designated as a “Credit Party” on the signature pages hereof, GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (in its individual capacity, “GE”), as Agent and as a Lender, and the other LENDERS signatory hereto.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Borrower, the other Credit Parties, GE, as Agent and as a Lender, and the other Lenders from time to time party thereto are parties to that certain First Lien Credit Agreement dated as of May 27, 2011 (as the same has been and may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Designated Default (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing;

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders (i) waive the Designated Default and (ii) amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Lenders) of the conditions set forth herein, Agent and the Lenders signatory hereto constituting the Required Lenders and Required Revolving Lenders are willing to waive the Designated Default and to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects, in each case, on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

2. Limited Waiver. Pursuant to subsection 7.1(c) of the Credit Agreement, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the Credit Parties’ failure to comply with the maximum Total Leverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2013 (such Event of Default, together with any Event of Default arising from the Borrower’s failure to provide notice of such Event of Default to the Agent, collectively, the “Designated Default”). Effective as of the date hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, Agent and the Lenders signatory hereto, constituting Required Lenders and Required Revolving Lenders, hereby waive the Designated Default.

The waiver contained in this Section 2 is a limited waiver and (i) shall only be relied upon and used for the specific purposes expressly set forth herein, (ii) shall not constitute nor be deemed to constitute a waiver, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, of (a) any Default or Event of Default (other than the Designated Default) or (b) any term or condition of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) shall not constitute nor be deemed to constitute a consent by the Agent or any Lender to anything other than the specific purpose set forth herein and (iv) shall not constitute a custom or course of dealing among the parties hereto.

3. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Upon satisfaction (or waiver by the Lenders) of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) Subsection 1.1(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such subsection in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:

“(b) The Revolving Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each Revolving Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Loans to the Borrower (each such Loan, a “Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the Final Availability Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1(b) under the heading “Revolving Loan Commitments” (such amount, as the same may be reduced or increased from time to time in accordance with this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 1.12), being referred to herein as such Revolving Lender’s “Revolving Loan Commitment”); provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1(b) may be repaid (without premium or penalty except as, and to the extent, set forth in Section 10.4) and reborrowed from time to time. The “Maximum Revolving Loan Balance” from time to time will equal (i) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect less (ii) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations plus (II) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swing Loans plus (III) the Interest Reserve (after giving effect to any reduction thereof to the extent a requested Revolving Loan shall be utilized to pay interest for which the Interest Reserve has been established). If at any time the then outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans exceeds the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay outstanding Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

As of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans (such outstanding Revolving Loans, the “Sixth Amendment Revolving Loans”) is $19,111,569.48 (the “Revolving Loan Cap”) and the aggregate face value of all Letters of Credit (such outstanding Letters of Credit, the “Sixth Amendment LCs”) Issued and outstanding under this Agreement is $2,431,391.00 (the “LC Facility Cap”; the LC Facility Cap together with the Revolving Loan Cap are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Revolving Facility Cap”), in each case, as set forth on Schedule 1.1(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.1(b) or anywhere else in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, from and after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date (a) prior to the repayment in full of all revolving loans and other obligations under, and the termination of, the First Lien Revolving Facility, no further Revolving Loans shall be made or funded or Letters of Credit Issued hereunder (provided, Revolving Loans may be funded solely to pay any L/C Reimbursement Obligations that may arise in respect of Sixth Amendment LCs, whereupon the Revolving Loan Cap shall be deemed to have increased, and the LC Facility Cap reduced, by such amount) and (b) until the Required Leverage Date shall occur, no (i) Letters of Credit shall be Issued if, after giving effect to such Issuance, the aggregate face amount of all Issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall exceed the LC Facility Cap (provided, the LC Facility Cap shall be increased on the date the First Lien Revolving Facility terminates in accordance with Section 4.19 by an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of all “Letters of Credit” (as defined in the First Lien Revolving Facility), which such aggregate amount shall not in any event exceed $600,000, issued and outstanding as of such date of termination, whereupon all such “Letters of Credit” thereunder shall automatically become and be deemed to constitute Letters of Credit hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), (ii) Revolving Loans shall be made or funded if, after giving effect to such making or funding, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans shall exceed the Revolving Loan Cap (except in respect of Revolving Loans funded solely to pay L/C Reimbursement Obligation arising in respect of a Letter of Credit Issued in accordance herewith, whereupon the Revolving Loan Cap shall be deemed to have increased, and the LC Facility Cap reduced, by such amount) and (iii) Revolving Loans shall be made or funded and no Letters of Credit shall be Issued if, after giving effect to such making, funding or Issuance, the sum of (y) aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and (z) all Issued and outstanding Letters of Credit, shall exceed the Revolving Facility Cap.

Upon the effectiveness of the First Lien Revolving Facility, each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder shall be deemed automatically reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Lender’s commitment in respect of the First Lien Revolving Facility; provided, the aggregate principal amount of the reductions to the Revolving Loan Commitments shall not exceed $8,000,000. The outstanding principal amount of the Sixth Amendment Revolving Loans and the Sixth Amendment LCs shall not be reduced or otherwise modified solely as a result of the reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments described above. The Sixth Amendment Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of Sixth Amendment LCs held by a Revolving Lender are referred to herein collectively as such Revolving Lender’s “Pre-Amendment Revolving Share” and all such Pre-Amendment Revolving Shares are referred to herein collectively as the “Aggregate Pre-Amendment Revolving Amount”, in each case, as such amounts are set forth on Schedule 1.1(b). As a result of the foregoing, until the Commitment Reinstatement Date (as defined below) (i) interest and fees in respect of the Sixth Amendment Revolving Loans and the Sixth Amendment LCs shall accrue for the benefit of each Revolving Lender based on each such Revolving Lender’s Pre-Amendment Revolving Share, (ii) all payments of principal and interest in respect of Sixth Amendment Revolving Loans and Sixth Amendment LCs, shall be paid, allocated and applied to the Aggregate Pre-Amendment Revolving Amount on a pro rata basis based on each Revolving Lender’s Pre-Amendment Revolving Share and (iii) the Unused Commitment Fee accruing and payable to each Revolving Lender shall be calculated based upon such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment after giving effect to the Sixth Amendment and such Revolving Lender’s Pre-Amendment Revolving Share.

Upon the repayment in full of all revolving loans and other obligations outstanding under, and the termination of, the First Lien Revolving Facility, each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder shall be deemed automatically increased on a dollar for dollar basis by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Lender’s commitment in respect of the First Lien Revolving Facility so as to reinstate the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Revolving Lenders at the respective amounts thereof as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Sixth Amendment (i.e., the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be $35,000,000 and the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Revolving Lenders shall be in the respective amounts therefor set forth in Schedule 1.1(b) maintained by Agent immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Sixth Amendment) (such date, the “Commitment Reinstatement Date”); provided such reinstatement shall be subject to, and shall preserve the effectiveness of, any prior reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement.”

(b) Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting “and” appearing at the end of clause (c) thereof, (ii) deleting “.” appearing at the end of clause (d) thereof and substituting “; and” therefor and (iii) adding the following language as new clause (e) thereto in appropriate alphabetical order:

“(e) after giving effect to any Loan and the contemporaneous uses of the proceeds thereof, the Credit Parties’ cash and Cash Equivalents shall not exceed $3,000,000.”

(c) Subsection 4.2(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such subsection in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:

“(b) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in subsections 4.1(a), 4.1(b) and, solely to the extent necessary to calculate the Total Leverage Ratio as and to the extent required by Section 6.2, 4.1(c), a fully and properly completed Compliance Certificate in the form of Exhibit 4.2(b), certified on behalf of the Borrower by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower;”

(d) Section 4.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by (i) deleting “and” appearing at the end of clause (f) thereof, (ii) deleting “.” appearing at the end of clause (g) thereof and substituting “; and” therefor and (iii) adding the following language as new clause (h) thereto in appropriate alphabetical order:

“(h) on a weekly basis, commencing with the first Monday following the Sixth Amendment Effective Date and continuing on each Monday thereafter until the Required Leverage Date, a thirteen (13) week cash flow forecast for the thirteen (13) week period comprised of the most recent week ended prior to such Monday and the immediately succeeding twelve (12) weeks thereafter.”

“Applicable Margin” means:

(a) with respect to Revolving Loans and Swing Loans: (x) if a Base Rate Loan, six and one-half percent (6.50%) per annum and (y) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, seven and one-half percent (7.50%) per annum (as such percentages may be increased as, and to the extent, necessary to comply with Section 1.12);

(b) with respect to Initial Term Loans: (x) if a Base Rate Loan, six and one-half percent (6.50%) per annum and (y) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, seven and one-half percent (7.50%) per annum (as such percentages may be increased as, and to the extent, necessary to comply with Section 1.12);

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the interest rate margins set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above shall, without any further action of, consent by or notice to Agent, any Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person, automatically increase by (i) 50 basis points in the event the Borrower shall not have obtained the Junior Capital pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.19 on or before the Junior Capital Outside Date, such increase being effective as of November 1, 2013 and (ii) an additional 50 basis points for each subsequent period of three consecutive months following the Junior Capital Outside Date during which the Borrower shall not have obtained the Junior Capital pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.19, such increase being effective as of the first day immediately succeeding the last day of each such three month period (the increases to the Applicable Margin described in foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to herein as the “Pricing Increases”).
