2. TERM, RENT AND PAYMENT

(a) Lessee hereby agrees to pay Lessor the Basic Term Rent for the Equipment throughout the Basic Term applicable thereto in monthly installments payable in advance on each Rent Payment Date as set forth in the Schedule. The Basic Term Rent shall be calculated in accordance with Section E of Exhibit No. 1. The Basic Term Rent payable hereunder and Lessee’s right to use the Equipment shall commence on the date of execution by Lessee of the Certificate of Acceptance for the Equipment and the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 1(b) above (to the extent not waived by the Lessor) (“Basic Term Commencement Date”) pursuant to this Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall be the period specified in the Schedule. If any Term is extended, the word “Term” shall be deemed to refer to all extended terms, and all provisions of this Agreement shall apply during any extended terms, except as otherwise may be specifically provided in writing. If any Rent Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Basic Term Rent otherwise due on such date shall be payable on the immediately preceding Business Day. The Basic Term Rent due and payable under the Schedule shall also represent and be the amount of rent for which Lessee becomes liable on account of the use of the Equipment for the period beginning on each Rent Payment Date and ending on the immediately succeeding Rent Payment Date, and shall therefore constitute the rent allocated to such rental periods within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.467-1(c)(2)(ii). Lessee hereby agrees to pay to Lessor any and all Supplemental Rent when and as the same shall become due and owing.

(b) Rent shall be paid to Lessor by wire transfer of immediately available funds in United States Dollars to:

Bank:	Deutsche Bank
Branch:	New York
Bank Account #:	50286772
ABA:	021001033
Account Name:	Gossamer Holdings, LLC
Customer:	Polymer Group, Inc.

or to such other account as Lessor may direct in writing; and shall be effective upon receipt. All such accounts shall be under the full dominion and control of Lessor. Payments of Basic

Term Rent shall be in the amount set forth in, and due and allocated in accordance with, the provisions of the Schedule. In no event shall any Rent payments be refunded to Lessee.

(c) At such time as Stipulated Loss Value (or an amount determined by reference thereto) shall be payable hereunder, the amount payable by Lessee shall be calculated by reference to Annex C to the Schedule for the affected Equipment.

3. RENT ADJUSTMENTS

(a) The Basic Term Lease Rate Factor set forth on the Schedule, the Basic Term, the First EBO Price, the Second EBO Price and the Stipulated Loss Value set forth on Annex C were calculated by Lessor on the basis of the tax assumptions set forth in part 1 of Section D of Exhibit No. 1 (the “Tax Benefits”) and in addition thereto, the assumptions set forth in Section C of Exhibit No. 1 (the “Pricing Assumptions”).

(b) If at the Basic Term Commencement Date, any of the Tax Benefits or Pricing Assumptions shall change or are incorrect (including any change resulting from a change in law), then Lessor shall recompute the Capitalized Lessor’s Cost, the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor, the First EBO Date, the First EBO Price, the Second EBO Date, the Second EBO Price and the Stipulated Loss Value Table (in each case, by increasing or decreasing such amount or amounts) as shall be necessary to preserve the both General Electric Credit Corporation of Tennessee’s Net Economic Return and ING Spunmelt Holdings LLC’s Net Economic Return while minimizing the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor. Any such recomputation shall be consistent with the Pricing Assumptions and Tax Benefits (other than any such Pricing Assumption or Tax Benefit the incorrectness of which gave rise to such recomputation or to a prior recomputation), and the Lessor shall utilize the same methods, constraints and assumptions originally used to calculate the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor, the First EBO Price, the Second EBO Price and Stipulated Loss Values. Such adjustments shall comply with Section 467 of the Code and the Regulations and the requirements of Sections 4.02(5), 4.07(1) and (2) and 4.08(1) of Revenue Procedure 2001-29, as amended (and such that the Lease could not be treated as a “disqualified leaseback” or “long term agreement” within the meaning of Section 467 of the Code). Such adjustments shall be reflected in amendments to Exhibit No. 1 to this Agreement and/or the Schedule that Lessor and Lessee hereby agree to execute and deliver on or prior to the Basic Term Commencement Date subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of any recomputation required under this Section 3(b) and such notice shall include the adjustments made to the Capitalized Lessor’s Cost, the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor, the First EBO Date, the First EBO Price, the Second EBO Date, the Second EBO Price and the Stipulated Loss Value Table.

(c) At the Basic Term Commencement Date, in addition to the pricing adjustments described in Section 3(b), the Lessor reserves the right to make an additional adjustment prior to the Basic Term Commencement Date if the Corporate Index Spread Average (2) is more than 25 basis points different from the Corporate Index Spread (1) as of May 14, 2010 (“Initial Spread”), which Initial Spread is 112 basis points.

(1) “Corporate Index Spread” means the U.S. Aggregate Corporate AA-Rated Index as calculated by Barclays Capital on an Option Adjusted Spread (OAS) basis currently available online at http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3022-bondbnchmrk.html?mod=mdc_bnd_pglnk or such other nationally recognized reporting source or publication as Lessor may specify. Please note that the aforementioned spread is published at least once a week by the mentioned sources.

(2) Corporate Index Spread Average means the average of the weekly Corporate Index Spreads over the period starting on May 14, 2010 until the date of the last available Corporate Index Spread as of the Basic Term Commencement Date.

Any such adjustments shall be reflected in amendments to Exhibit No. 1 to this Agreement and/or the Schedule that Lessee hereby agrees to execute and deliver prior to the Basic Term Commencement Date.

(d) If, solely as a result of U.S. Congressional enactment of any law (including, without limitation, any modification of, or amendment or addition to, the Code), the maximum U.S. effective corporate income tax rate (exclusive of any minimum tax rate) for calendar-year taxpayers (“Effective Rate”) is higher than thirty-five percent (35%) for any year during the Term for any Lease, then Lessor shall have the right to increase such rent payments by requiring payment of a single additional sum. The additional sum shall be equal to the product of (i) the Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) for such year less 0.35 (or, in the event that any adjustment has been made hereunder for any previous year, the Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) used in calculating the next previous adjustment) times (ii) the adjusted Stipulated Loss Value (defined below), divided by (iii) the difference between the new Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) and one (1). The adjusted Stipulated Loss Value shall be the Stipulated Loss Value (calculated as of the first rental due in the year for which such adjustment is being made) minus the Tax Benefits that would be allowable under Section 168 of the Code (as of the first day of the year for which such adjustment is being made and all future years of the Term for any Lease). The Tax Benefits are defined on the Schedule. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the full amount of the additional rent payment on the later of (i) receipt of notice or (ii) the first day of the year for which such adjustment is being made.

(e) If upon the determination of the Basic Term Rent, subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 3 above, the Lessee should determine that the present value of the Basic Term Rents and including other cash outlays required to be considered in accordance with GAAP, discounted at the Discount Rate, computes to an amount that equals or exceeds 90% of the Equipment Cost, then the Lessee may elect to purchase the Equipment (i) in the case that the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor, as recomputed in accordance with Section 3(b), has increased over the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor set forth in Section B of Exhibit No. 1, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the Lease Investment Balance, or (ii) in all other cases, at a purchase price equal to 102% of the Lease Investment Balance, plus, in each case, any fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lessor or any Member in connection with execution of the Schedule, which are not included in the Lease Investment Balance. If the Lessee exercises such purchase option, (x) the Lessee and the Lessor will not execute the Schedule and the Basic Term shall not commence, (y) Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount set forth in the immediately

preceding sentence and (z) upon Lessor’s receipt of such amount, Lessor shall convey to Lessee title to the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, free and clear of all Lessor’s Liens. Notwithstanding the provisions of this clause (e), upon receipt of notice from Lessee electing such option to purchase the Equipment, and such notice from Lessee will include the applicable present value calculation described above, presented in reasonably sufficient detail, the Lessor shall have the right but not any obligation to reduce such Basic Term Lease Rate Factor so that the present value of the Basic Term Rents and including other cash outlays required to be considered in accordance with GAAP, discounted at the Discount Rate, computes to an amount less than 90% of the Equipment Cost. If Lessor elects to reduce the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then any election by Lessee to purchase the Equipment pursuant to this clause (e) shall automatically and without further action be deemed null and void.

4. TAXES

(a) Except as provided in Section 3 (d) and Section 15(c) hereof, Lessee shall have no liability for (i) taxes imposed by the United States of America or any State or political subdivision thereof or any other Governmental Authority (each, a “Taxing Authority”) which are based on or measured by the net income of any Indemnified Party, and (ii) taxes in respect of, and fairly attributable to, any period after the expiration or early termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction by Lessee of all obligations hereunder (it being understood that this clause (ii) shall not apply to any taxes that relate to events occurring or matters arising prior to or simultaneously with such expiration or early termination) (the taxes described in clauses (i) and (ii) are “Excluded Taxes”).

(b) Lessee shall report (to the extent that it is legally permissible) and shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes, fees, duties and assessments (other than the Excluded Taxes) due, imposed, assessed or levied against: (i) the Equipment, the Facility or the Site (or the construction, import, installation, financing, refinancing, warranty, ownership, maintenance, repair, condition, alteration, modification, improvement, restoration, refurbishing, rebuilding, transport, assembly, repossession, dismantling, abandonment, retirement, decommissioning, storage, replacement, return, acquisition, sale or other disposition, insuring, sublease, manufacture, design, acceptance, rejection, purchase, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, mortgaging, operation or other use or non-use of any thereof, in each case, by Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee or any sublessee of Lessee or other user or person in possession of any Equipment (or any part thereof)); (ii) any amounts paid or payable under this Agreement, the other Operative Documents, or the Documents; (iii) any of the Documents or the Operative Documents; (iv) the conduct of business or affairs of Lessee or any Affiliate thereof; (v) any Indemnified Party with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents; or (vi) Lessee, by any foreign, United States federal, state or local government or taxing authority in any of the foregoing related to any of the transactions contemplated by the Documents, including, without limitation, all license and registration fees, and all sales, use, personal property, real property, ad valorem, rental, transfer, excise, gross receipts, value added, goods and services, franchise, stamp or other taxes, imports, customs or other duties and charges, other than Excluded Taxes, together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon (all hereinafter called “Taxes”). Lessee shall (i) pay, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party (on an After-Tax Basis) upon receipt of written request for indemnification

or reimbursement for any Taxes (but excluding the Excluded Taxes) charged to or assessed against such Indemnified Party, (ii) on request of Lessor, submit to such Indemnified Party written evidence of Lessee’s payment of such Taxes, (iii) on all reports or tax returns show the Lessor as the owner of the Equipment, and (iv) send a copy of the reports or tax returns referred to in clause (iii) above, upon written request by Lessor, to Lessor and at Lessor’s request to each Indemnified Party, identified by Lessor in such written request. At the written request of Lessor, Lessee shall pay directly any such taxes imposed on any such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the provisions of the immediately preceding two sentences shall be effective on and after the Basic Term Commencement Date.

(c) If any Tax Claim shall be made against any Indemnified Party or if any proceeding shall be commenced against any Indemnified Party (including a written notice of such proceeding) for any Taxes as to which Lessee shall have a Tax indemnity hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Lessee within thirty (30) days (but failure to notify Lessee within this time period shall not impair such Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder, unless Lessee’s rights to contest such Tax Claim shall have been precluded by such failure). If (i) Lessee in writing shall request an Indemnified Party to contest a claim for which an indemnity for Taxes may be payable by Lessee hereunder (a “Tax Claim”), (ii) Lessee shall agree to pay, and shall be paying currently, all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with contesting such Tax Claim, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall reasonably determine that the action to be taken will not result in the imposition of a Lien upon, and will not result in a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or other loss of, the Equipment or any component thereof, and will not involve any risk of criminal liabilities, (iv) Winston & Strawn LLP or other independent nationally recognized tax counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to Lessee shall have furnished an opinion to the effect that there is a reasonable basis to contest such Tax Claim, (v) Lessee shall have executed a written acknowledgment of its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Person for such Taxes if and to the extent that the contest is not successful, (vi) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (vii) the amount of the potential tax indemnity payment exceeds $25,000, then the Indemnified Party shall, except as set forth below, contest the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes by, as determined in such Indemnified Party’s sole discretion (x) resisting payment thereof, (y) not paying the same except under protest, if protest is necessary and proper or (z) if payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings. Any such contest conducted pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be controlled, and conducted by counsel chosen, by the Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party requests Lessee to conduct such contest and Lessee agrees to itself conduct such contest. The Indemnified Party shall endeavor in good faith to consult with and advise Lessee of all material actions taken or proposed to be taken by the applicable Taxing Authority and of all material actions proposed to be taken by the Indemnified Party with respect to such contest, and shall, to the extent practicable, permit Lessee, upon request, reasonable opportunity to review the content of any written submissions relating exclusively to the contest of such Tax Claim; provided, however that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to disclose any document or information that the Indemnified Party considers privileged or confidential. Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein, such Indemnified Party agrees to appeal any adverse decision with respect to such contest, provided

that in no event shall any Indemnified Party be required to appeal any adverse decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. If the contest shall be made by the payment of such Taxes and the claiming of a refund, Lessee shall either make such payment directly to the appropriate authority or advance to such Indemnified Party on an interest-free basis sufficient funds to make the payment (including any related interest, penalties and additions to tax). If an Indemnified Party shall be subject to any Taxes as a result of the making or existence of any such payment or advance, such Taxes shall be treated as Taxes for which Lessee is required to indemnify such Indemnified Party hereunder without regard to whether such Taxes are Excluded Taxes. Nothing contained herein shall require an Indemnified Party to contest, or permit Lessee to contest, a Tax Claim that such Indemnified Party would otherwise be required to contest, if such Indemnified Party shall waive payment by Lessee of any amount that might otherwise be payable by Lessee hereunder in respect of such Tax Claim and pay to Lessee any amounts (excluding the expenses of a contest) theretofore paid by Lessee with respect to such Tax Claim.

(d) If an Indemnified Party realizes a reduction in taxes as a result of any indemnification by Lessee under Section 4 (whether by way of deduction, credit, allocation or apportionment or otherwise) not previously taken into account in calculating an indemnity hereunder, or any reduction, refund or rebate of any Tax paid by Lessee pursuant to this Section 4, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to Lessee an amount equal to (1) the amount of any such reduction in taxes or reduction plus (2) the aggregate reduction in such Indemnified Party’s taxes attributable to the deduction, if any, of the amounts payable to Lessee pursuant to this Section 4. Upon receipt by an Indemnified Party of any refund or credit of all or part of any taxes paid or indemnified against by Lessee, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to Lessee an amount equal to the amount of such refund plus any interest received by or credited to such Indemnified Party with respect to such refund plus or minus (as the case may be) the aggregate reduction or increase, respectively, in such Indemnified Party’s taxes attributable to the receipt of the refund or credit from the Taxing Authority and the deduction, if any, of the amounts payable to Lessee pursuant to this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be required to make a payment to Lessee under this Section 4(d) (i) if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) in an amount greater than the amount paid by Lessee under Section 4 with respect to the related taxes for which the Lessee indemnified such Indemnified Party (provided that any interest received by or credited to such Indemnified Party with respect to such refund shall also be paid to Lessee). Lessee shall fully indemnify such Indemnified Party if and to the extent any such reduction, refund, rebate or other tax savings is subsequently lost or disallowed.

(e) Lessee’s obligations and rights, and Lessor’s (and each Indemnified Party’s) rights, privileges and indemnities, contained in this Section 4 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement. The rights, privileges and indemnities contained in this Agreement are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by Lessor, any Member, and the successors and assigns of the Lessor and any Member, and each Indemnified Party.

Lessee expressly agrees that any damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that may be incurred by any Member or Lessor or any of their respective officers, directors and employees as a direct or indirect result of (i) the provision of any Lessor Financial Disclosures to the Lessee or (ii) any breach of this Section 5(h) by Lessee, shall each constitute an indemnifiable Claim under Section 15(a).

6. DELIVERY, USE AND OPERATION

(a) Lessee represents and warrants that the Equipment shall be in Lessee’s possession as of the Basic Term Commencement Date.

(b) Lessee agrees that the Equipment will be maintained and used by Lessee solely in the conduct of its business and in a manner complying with all Applicable Laws and the Insurance Requirements (including any applicable insurance policies required to be maintained in accordance therewith), and Lessee shall not permanently discontinue use of the Equipment (except as otherwise provided in Section 6(g)).

(c) Lessee shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, any Lien on or with respect to the Equipment or any part thereof, title thereto, or any interest of Lessor therein, or in this Agreement, except Permitted Liens. Lessee will promptly, at its own expense, take or cause to be taken such action as may be necessary to discharge any Lien with respect to the Equipment which is not a Permitted Lien.

(d) Lessee shall permit any Person designated by Lessor, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to visit (and, unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in no event more than quarterly), inspect and survey the Facility and the Equipment, its condition, use and operation, and the records maintained in connection therewith; provided, that no such exercise of such inspection rights shall violate Lessee’s reasonable and customary safety, security and confidentiality policies and procedures. None of Lessor or any of its designees shall have any duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such inspection. The failure of any such party to object to any condition or procedure observed or observable in the course of an inspection hereunder shall not be deemed to waive or modify any of the terms of this Agreement with respect to such condition or procedure.

(e) Lessee will keep all the Equipment at the Site specified in the Schedule and will not move the Equipment (or any component thereof) from the Site; provided that subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Lessee shall be permitted to remove components as necessary and keep such components (i) at the location of a Vendor within the United States or other location in the United States for the sole purpose of repairing such components or (ii) at any other location for any other purpose with Lessor’s prior written consent. Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) upon the written request of Lessor, Lessee will notify Lessor forthwith in writing of the location of any Equipment as of the date of such notification, (ii) in no event shall any components be removed from the Site for a period of one (1) month or longer, whether for permitted inspection or repairs or for any other reason, unless Lessee gives Lessor prior notice of the same and assists Lessor with the preparation and filing (prior to the expiration of such one (1) month period) of such instruments and documents as Lessor may deem reasonably necessary to preserve Lessor’s rights in such components.

(f) The parties agree that the Equipment shall at all times remain personal property of Lessor regardless of the degree of its annexation to any real property and shall not by reason of any installation in, or affixation to, real or personal property become a part thereof. Lessee shall obtain and deliver to Lessor (to be recorded at Lessee’s expense) from any Person having an interest in the property where the Equipment is to be located, waivers of any Lien, encumbrance or interest which such Person might have or hereafter obtain or claim with respect to the Equipment.

(g) Lessee (and not the Lessor) will be solely responsible for complying with all Applicable Laws and existing agreements in connection with the installation, use, possession and operation of the Equipment, and to obtain and maintain on its own behalf the Government Approvals required in accordance with such Applicable Laws and existing agreements. The Lessee (and not the Lessor) will be solely liable for any fines or penalties imposed by any Governmental Authority in connection with the foregoing. Lessee shall have the right to contest and appeal all such fines and penalties, and Lessor will provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Lessee in connection with the same.

(h) Lessee shall (1) not use the Equipment for any purpose other than as provided herein, (2) be responsible for any damages caused to third parties by the use and/or operation of the Equipment and (3) cause the Equipment to not contain any Hazardous Substance, except for such Hazardous Substances used in the ordinary course of operation of the Equipment, provided the use of such Hazardous Substance complies with Environmental Laws. Lessor may require Lessee, to conduct an Environmental Evaluation of the Site provided such Environmental Evaluation shall not be conducted more than once in any 18 month period except in the event of a Default.

(i) Lessee shall at its own cost, defend the Equipment, as well as the rights of Lessor in the Equipment and the Site, from any third party claims and take all such actions that are necessary in connection with such defense.

(j) From time to time at Lessee’s reasonable request and sole expense, Lessor will execute and deliver to Lessee promptly all applications, forms and other documents that must be executed by the owner of the Equipment or which are necessary for Lessee to pursue or enforce any warranty or other claim against any manufacturer or Vendor of the Equipment or to apply for or pursue any permit or other item described in subparagraph (g) above.

(k) If an Adverse Environmental Condition is identified (other than a minor non-compliance or a de minimis and surficial Release to a non-pervious surface or to soil) at any time prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement or in the event of a Default, Lessee, at its sole cost and in compliance with Environmental Laws, shall promptly address, correct and remediate each identified Adverse Environmental Condition. For noncompliance matters, Lessee shall promptly achieve compliance with Environmental Law unless Lessee is diligently contesting the noncompliance in good faith and prevails on the merits within 180 days of the condition being initially identified and after such 180 days only if the Lessee has established a reserve required by GAAP, and for the Release of or presence of Hazardous Substances in the environment (other than a de minimis and surficial Release to a non-pervious surface or to soil), Lessee shall remediate groundwater contamination to achieve federal Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and remediate soil contamination to achieve industrial cleanup standards (including the use of engineering and institutional controls solely for soil, provided such controls do not interfere with the operation of the Equipment, the Facility or the Site), and complete such remediation within 180 days of the condition being initially identified and after such 180 days, only if the Lessee has established a reserve for the condition required by GAAP.

7. MAINTENANCE

(a) Lessee will, at its sole expense, maintain the Equipment in good operating order, repair, condition and appearance in accordance with manufacturer’s warranty requirements and in compliance in all material respects with any Applicable Law and in compliance with the Insurance Requirements, and standards consistent with and customary to industry practice, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall obtain, maintain in full force and effect and comply in all material respects with all Environmental Permits required to operate the Equipment.

(b) Lessee shall from time to time make such alterations, additions and modifications to the Equipment as shall (i) be required to cause the Equipment to comply in all material respects with any Applicable Law and to comply with all Insurance Requirements, or (ii) be required to enable the Equipment to continue to be capable of operating at the capacity levels at which the Equipment was capable of operating as of the Basic Term Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted (each a “Required Modification”). Lessee will not, without the prior consent of Lessor, affix or install any accessory, equipment or device on any Equipment if such addition will materially impair the originally intended function, use, useful life or ability to operate of such Equipment or materially impair the value or residual value of such Equipment, unless required by Applicable Law. Each Required Modification shall become the property of Lessor and part of the Equipment free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. Lessee will not, without the prior written consent of Lessor and subject to such conditions as Lessor may reasonably impose for its protection, affix or install any Equipment (or any component thereof) to, or in, any other personal or real property of a third party (other than as permitted under Section 6(e)).

(c) Lessee at any time may alter, modify or make additions to the Equipment (any such alteration, modification or addition which is not a Required Modification is an optional modification (“Optional Modification”)). No Optional Modification shall (i) diminish the fair market value, utility, condition, remaining economic useful life, or estimated residual value of the Equipment below the fair market value, utility, condition, remaining economic useful life, or estimated residual value immediately prior to the completion of such Optional Modification, (ii) cause the Equipment or any portion thereof to become “limited use property” within the meaning of Revenue Procedures 2001-28 and 2001-29, (iii) otherwise result in an adverse tax consequence to Lessor or any Member, or (iv) alter the function of the Equipment or any portion thereof from that for which it was designed and intended. Title to any Optional Modification which is a Non-Severable Modification shall be (at no cost to Lessor) immediately vested in Lessor and shall automatically become part of the Equipment and become subject to this Lease and the other Operative Documents for all purposes. Title to any Optional Modification which is a Severable Modification shall remain with Lessee, and Lessor shall have no interest in such Optional Modification. During the Basic Term or at the return of the Equipment, Lessee may remove or replace any Optional Modification which is a Severable Modification. If Lessee, at its cost, shall complete any Severable Modifications which are Optional Modifications, and such Severable Modifications theretofore made have not been removed at the end of the Basic Term or at the return of the Equipment, or within 30 days thereafter, title to such Severable Modifications shall pass to Lessor at no cost to Lessor. During such 30-day period, Lessor will give Lessee and its contractors reasonable access to the Equipment to remove such Optional Modification and to repair any resulting damage as provided in this Agreement as long as they agree to comply with Lessor’s reasonable and

customary safety, security and confidentiality policies and procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Lessor will not be in breach of its confidentiality obligations under this Agreement for allowing third parties to have access to the Equipment that includes an Optional Modification which is a Severable Modification.

(d) Any Required Modification shall be made at the expense of Lessee, shall be free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and shall immediately become the property of Lessor.

8. CASUALTY OCCURRENCE.

Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing if the Equipment (i) suffers damage or destruction resulting in an insurance settlement on the basis of actual, constructive or compromised total loss; (ii) suffers destruction or damage beyond repair; or (iii) becomes lost, stolen, destroyed or suffers damage, which in the reasonable determination of Lessor, makes repair uneconomic or renders the Equipment permanently unfit for use from any cause whatsoever (including an Adverse Environmental Condition) (such occurrences being hereinafter called “Casualty Occurrences”). The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all of the Equipment shall be under Lessee’s care and attention at all times, and that Lessee shall maintain and use the Equipment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and therefore, Lessee shall be responsible for any Casualty Occurrence. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in Section 10(g) hereof, if any of the events set forth in the proviso to clause (ii) of Section 10(g) have occurred, on the date set forth on Annex C to the Schedule during the first month next succeeding a Casualty Occurrence, or if such date is not a Business Day, then on the next day that is a Business Day (the “Payment Date”), Lessee shall pay Lessor the sum of (x) the Stipulated Loss Value of all Equipment calculated in accordance with Annex C of the Schedule; and (y) all Rent (including Basic Term Rent scheduled to be paid on such Payment Date) and other amounts which are due hereunder with respect to the Equipment as of the Payment Date; provided that Lessee shall not be required to make any payment in respect of a Casualty Occurrence if (A) the Equipment affected by such Casualty Occurrence is not necessary to enable the Equipment to continue to be capable of operating at the capacity levels at which the Equipment was capable of operating as of the Basic Term Commencement Date with respect to the Equipment covered by the Schedule (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and (B) the failure to repair or replace such Equipment does not diminish the value, utility or remaining useful life of the Equipment which remains subject to this Agreement from the value, utility and remaining useful life of all Equipment subject to this Agreement immediately prior to such Casualty Occurrence. Upon payment of all sums due hereunder, the obligation of Lessee to pay Rent and the Term of this Agreement as to the Equipment shall terminate, and (except in the case of the loss, theft or complete destruction of the Equipment ) Lessee may elect (by giving Lessor written notice) to receive from Lessor title to the Equipment, on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, free and clear of all Lessor’s Liens; provided that if Lessee elects to take title to the Equipment (in-place and in-use) and the Fair Market Value of the Equipment is greater than the applicable Stipulated Loss Value, then Lessee will pay Lessor as additional purchase price the amount by which such Fair Market Value exceeds such Stipulated Loss Value. Lessor shall apply any insurance proceeds received pursuant to any insurance policies maintained by the Lessee to the payment of Lessee’s obligations under this Section 8, and Lessee shall be entitled to receive any such insurance proceeds in excess of the proceeds necessary to pay Lessor the amounts due under this

Section 8. Any other amounts received by Lessor or Lessee with respect to such Casualty Occurrence from any Governmental Authority or other Person shall be divided between the Lessee and Lessor as their interests appear.

9. LOSS OR DAMAGE

Lessee hereby assumes and shall bear the entire responsibility for any loss, theft, damage to, or destruction of the Equipment from any cause whatsoever, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if, and so long as, no Default exists under this Agreement, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect any rights the Lessee may have against third parties.

10. INSURANCE

(a) Coverage. Without limiting any of the other obligations or liabilities of Lessee under this Agreement, Lessee shall, during the term of this Agreement, carry and maintain, with respect to the Equipment, at its own expense, at least the minimum insurance coverage set forth in this Section 10. Lessee shall also carry and maintain any other insurance that Lessor may reasonably require from time to time. All insurance carried pursuant to this Section 10 shall be placed with such insurers having a minimum A.M. Best rating of A:X, with terms, conditions and limits as shall be acceptable to Lessor.

(iv) Workers’ Compensation/Employer’s Liability. The Lessee shall maintain (A) workers’ compensation insurance or any other statutory insurance required by Applicable Law with respect to work-related injuries, disease or death of any employee of Lessee while at work or in the scope of his/her employment with the Lessee and (B) Employer’s Liability in an amount not less than $1,000,000 each accident, each employee; and

(v) Excess/Umbrella Liability. Lessee shall maintain excess or umbrella liability insurance written on an occurrence basis in an amount not less than $100,000,000 General Aggregate providing coverage limits excess of the insurance limits required under sections (a)(iii), and (a)(iv) employer’s liability only. Such insurance shall follow the form of the primary insurances and drop down in case of exhaustion of underlying limits and/or aggregates. Such insurance shall not contain an exclusion for punitive or exemplary damages where insurable under law.

(b) Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee and its insurers waives its right to subrogate against Lessor and its insurers for all policies Lessee is required to carry and maintain.

(c) Endorsements. Lessee shall cause all insurance policies carried and maintained in accordance with this Section 10 to be endorsed as follows:

(i) Lessee shall be the named insured and loss payee and Lessor shall be an additional insured and lender loss payee as its interest may appear with respect to the Equipment covered by property policies described in subsection (a)(i) and (a)(ii). Lessee shall be the named insured and Lessor shall be named as an additional insured with respect to liability policies described in subsections (a)(iii), (a)(iv) to the extent allowed by law and (a)(v). It shall be understood that any obligation imposed upon Lessee, including but not limited to the obligation to pay premiums, shall be the sole obligation of Lessee and not that of Lessor; and

(ii) With respect to property policies described in subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii), the interests of Lessor shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee, any Guarantor or any other Person, and shall insure Lessor regardless of any breach or violation by Lessee or any other Person, of any warranties, declarations or conditions of such policies; and

(iii) Inasmuch as the liability policies are written to cover more than one insured, all terms conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements, with the exception of the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured; and

(iv) The insurers thereunder shall waive all rights of subrogation against Lessor any right of setoff or counterclaim and any other right to deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise; and

(v) Such insurance shall be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of Lessor with respect to their interests as such in the Equipment; and

(d) Certifications. On the Basic Term Commencement Date with respect to the Equipment leased as of such date, and at each policy renewal, but not less than annually with respect to all Equipment then leased, Lessee shall provide to Lessor a certification and endorsement from each insurer or by an authorized representative of each insurer. Such certification and endorsement shall identify the companies affording coverage, the type of insurance, the policy period(s), policy numbers, limits, and term thereof and shall specifically list the special provisions delineated for such insurance required for this Section 10.

(e) Insurance Report. Concurrently with the furnishing of all certificates referred to in this Section 10, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with a statement from Lessee’s independent insurance broker stating that all premiums then due have been paid and that, in the opinion of such broker, the insurance then maintained by Lessee is in accordance with this Section 10. Furthermore, upon its first knowledge, such broker shall advise Lessor promptly in writing of any default in the payment of any premiums or any other act or omission, on the part of any person, which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance provided by Lessee and/or user hereunder.

(f) General. Upon request, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with copies of all insurance policies, binders and cover notes or other evidence of such insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no provision of this Section 10 or any provision of this Agreement shall impose on Lessor any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage maintained by Lessee, nor shall Lessor be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of Lessee to any insurance broker, company or underwriter. Lessor, at its sole option, may obtain such insurance if not provided by Lessee and in such event, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor upon demand for the cost thereof together with interest.

(g) Proceeds of Insurance. Insurance proceeds shall be applied as follows:

(i) If the Lessee believes that, based on reasonable estimates of loss, the amount of insurance proceeds payable in respect of any casualty event or any series of related casualty events to be less than or equal to $500,000, the Lessee may elect to restore or replace the property affected by such casualty event without the consent of the Lessor so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(ii) If the Lessee believes that, based on reasonable estimates of loss, the amount of insurance proceeds payable in respect of any casualty event or any series of related casualty events to be in excess of $500,000, the Lessee may elect to restore or replace the property affected by such casualty event if the Lessee has delivered to the Lessor, within twenty (20) days from the occurrence of such casualty event, a Restoration or Replacement Plan with respect to such casualty that is based upon, or accompanied by,

each of the following: (A) (1) a detailed breakdown of the nature and extent of such casualty event and (2) a bona fide assessment (from a contractor reasonably acceptable to the Lessor) of the estimated cost and time needed to restore or replace the affected property; (B) satisfactory evidence that such insurance proceeds and the Lessee’s other available funds are sufficient to make the necessary restorations to or replacement of the affected property; (C) delivery of an officer’s certificate of the Lessee certifying that, at the completion of the restoration or replacement, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing in connection with such casualty event; and (D) confirmation by the Engineering Consultant, of its agreement based on the information available to it with the matters set forth in clauses (A) through (B) above within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the foregoing information and its approval of such Restoration or Replacement Plan; provided, that, if the Lessee does not deliver such Restoration or Replacement Plan within such 20-day period or if the Lessor or the Engineering Consultant provides written notice to Lessee that it rejects the Restoration or Replacement Plan, and following consultation by the Lessee with the Lessor or the Engineering Consultant regarding any proposal by Lessee to modify the Restoration or Replacement Plan but within 20 days after Lessee has received such initial written rejection notice, the Lessor or the Engineering Consultant provides written notice to Lessee that it has rejected Lessee’s modified Restoration or Replacement Plan, the Lessee shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, proceeds of any insurance to Lessor, as loss payee, which shall be applied, in Lessor’s discretion, toward the replacement, restoration or repair of the Equipment to the condition required by Section 7 or toward the payment of Stipulated Loss Value in accordance with Section 8 hereof.

(iii) If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lessee shall remit to Lessor, as loss payee, proceeds of any insurance covering damage or loss which proceeds shall be applied, in Lessor’s discretion, to replacement, restoration or repair of the Equipment to the condition required by Section 7 or toward the payment of Stipulated Loss Value in accordance with Section 8.

11. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT

(v) at Lessor’s choice, either (1) allow Lessor, at Lessor’s expense, and provided that Lessor has given reasonable notice to Lessee, arrange for an on-site auction of the Equipment in an assembled and functional state, any such auction will be conducted in a manner which will not unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s business operations and in accordance with Lessee’s reasonable and customary safety, security and confidentiality policies and procedures, or (2) tender the Equipment to the Lessor at the Facility;

(vi) allow Lessor, at Lessee’s expense, to conduct an Environmental Evaluation with respect to the Site or the Facility at least 120 days prior to the return of the Equipment, demonstrating there are no Adverse Environmental Conditions (other than a de minimis and surficial Release to a non-pervious surface) associated with the Site or the Facility. If an Adverse Environmental Condition is identified (other than a de minimis and surficial Release to a non-pervious surface), Lessee, at its sole cost and in compliance with Environmental Laws, shall promptly address, correct and remediate each identified Adverse Environmental Condition. For noncompliance matters, Lessee shall promptly achieve compliance with Environmental Law unless Lessee is diligently contesting the noncompliance in good faith and has established a reserve required by GAAP, and for the Release of or presence of Hazardous Substances in the environment (other than a de minimis and surficial Release to a non-pervious surface), Lessee shall remediate groundwater contamination to achieve federal Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and remediate soil contamination to achieve industrial cleanup standards (including the use of engineering and institutional controls solely for soil, provided such controls do not interfere with the operation or return of the Equipment, or the operation of the Facility or the Site), and complete such remediation within 180 days of the condition being identified and after such 180 days only if Lessee has established a reserve for the condition required under GAAP;

(vii) at the request of Lessor and to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, assign, transfer, or furnish, or cause to be assigned, transferred, furnished, or re-issued, to Lessor or its designee, Lessee’s rights and interest in, to and under all permits (including Environmental Permits), certificates, licenses, approvals, Included IP, intellectual property, and similar rights which are necessary or reasonably desirable for the operation of the Equipment (other than the Proprietary Information);

(viii) Lessee shall provide to Lessor copies of all permits, licenses, certificates and consents required to evidence compliance with Lessee’s obligations under clause (vii) above to allow the Equipment to continue to be operated at the capacity levels at which the Equipment was capable of being operated as of the Basic Term Commencement Date; and

(ix) After expiration of the Basic Term the Lessee shall make available key employee’s (chief engineer & operators) to aid the Lessor in the selling of the Equipment for a

period of up to 720 days. During such period the Lessee shall make available the Equipment for on-site operational inspections by potential purchasers, under power, and provide personnel, power and other requirements necessary to demonstrate electrical, mechanical and hydraulic systems for the Equipment, subject to and in compliance with Lessee’s reasonable and customary safety, security and confidentiality policies and procedures.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 7(c) above), (i) no Proprietary Information will become the property of Lessor and (ii) all Proprietary Information will always remain the property of Lessee (or its customers or suppliers, as the case may be).

(ii) Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to enter any premises where the Facility or any Equipment is located and take possession thereof;

(iii) (1) Provided that Lessor has not exercised remedies under Section 12(b)(iii)(2), Lessee shall, without further demand, forthwith pay to Lessor (A) the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment (calculated in accordance with Annex C of the Schedule as of the Payment Date next preceding the declaration of default), plus (B) an amount equal to all Rent (including Basic Term Rent), all applicable taxes and other sums then due hereunder; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, such Rent and other sums shall be the unaccelerated amounts due as of such date. If Lessee shall have made the foregoing payments indefeasibly in full, Lessor shall thereafter pay over to Lessee as and when from time to time received, the net proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition of such Equipment (after deducting all costs and expenses whatsoever incurred by Lessor or any Member in connection therewith and all other amounts which may become payable by Lessor or any Member with respect thereto) up to the amount of such Stipulated Loss Value actually paid by Lessee.

(2) In lieu of exercising its rights under Section 12(b)(iii)(1), Lessor may by written notice to Lessee specifying a Payment Date which is not earlier than 10 days after the date of such notice, demand that Lessee pay to Lessor and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on such Payment Date, in lieu of all Rent due after such Payment Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment computed as of the Payment Date specified in the notice over the Fair Market Value thereof as of such Payment Date.

(iv) Lessor may, but shall not be required to, retain an Environmental Consultant to undertake an Environmental Evaluation of the Site at Lessee’s expense; and

(v) Lessor may, but shall not be required to, sell the Equipment, or any portion thereof, at private or public sale, in bulk or in parcels, with or without notice, and without having the Equipment present at the place of sale; or Lessor may, but shall not be required to, lease, otherwise dispose of or keep idle all or part of the Equipment; and Lessor may use the Facility pursuant to the Site Lease, until all amounts due hereunder have been paid, for any or all of the foregoing without liability for rent. The proceeds of sale, lease or other disposition, if any, together with the aggregate proceeds obtained by Lessor from one or more drawings under an Acceptable Letter of Credit made pursuant to Section 12(c), shall be applied in the following order of priorities: (A) first, to pay all of Lessor’s costs, charges and expenses incurred in taking, removing, holding, repairing and

selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of the Equipment; then, (B) second, to the extent not previously paid by Lessee, to pay Lessor all amounts due from Lessee hereunder; then, (C) third, to reimburse to Lessee any sums previously paid by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Section 12(b); then, (D) fourth, to reimburse to Lessee any sums obtained by Lessor from one or more drawings under an Acceptable Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 12(c) in excess of application of such sums against any amounts due to Lessor from Lessee hereunder (including any application of such sums to the payment of contractual penalties); and (E) fifth, any surplus shall be retained by Lessor. Lessee shall pay any deficiency in clauses (A) and (B) forthwith.

(c) In addition to any other rights set forth in this Section 12 but subject to Section 12(b)(iii), after a Default shall have occurred, and without limitation of any of the foregoing remedies, Lessor (i) may terminate or cancel this Agreement as to any or all of the Equipment; (ii) shall be entitled to make a drawing under any Acceptable Letter of Credit for the maximum amount available thereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to satisfy Lessee’s obligations hereunder and under the other Documents; or (iii) may exercise all rights and remedies as a secured party under the UCC with respect to the Security Deposit, including the right to collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Security Deposit and apply the proceeds thereof to satisfy Lessee’s obligations hereunder and under the other Documents.

(d) The foregoing remedies are cumulative, and any or all thereof may be exercised in lieu of or in addition to each other or any remedies at law. If permitted by Applicable Laws, Lessee shall pay reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Lessor or any Member in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement and any ancillary documents. Waiver of any Default shall not be a waiver of any other or subsequent default.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, if (w) a Default shall have occurred solely as a result of an event or events set forth in Section 12(a)(iii), (x) such Default is not caused by the Lessee for the purpose of obtaining this right to obtain title to the Equipment, (y) Lessor shall have declared such Default and pursued remedies as set forth herein, and (z) as a result thereof Lessee shall have paid (and Lessor shall have received) (A) the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment (calculated in accordance with Annex C of the Schedule as of the Payment Date next preceding the declaration of default), plus (B) an amount equal to all Rent (including Basic Term Rent), all applicable taxes and other sums then due hereunder; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, such Rent and other sums shall be the unaccelerated amounts due as of such date, then Lessor shall convey to Lessee title to the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, free and clear of all Lessor’s Liens, provided that if the Fair Market Value of the Equipment (in-place and in-use) is greater than the Stipulated Loss Value as of the Payment Date next preceding the declaration of Default, then Lessee will pay Lessor as additional purchase price the amount by which such Fair Market Value exceeds such Stipulated Loss Value; provided further, however, that Lessee’s right to obtain title in the limited circumstances set forth in this clause (e) shall not apply with respect to any Default described in any other clause or clauses of Section 12(a).

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement or the Security Deposit Pledge Agreement, if a Default shall have occurred solely with respect to (i) Section 12(a)(iv) if such Default results from Lessee’s failure to provide audited financial statements

within the designated time period in accordance with Section 5(b); (ii) Section 12(a)(xi)(2) or Section 12(a)(xi)(3); (iii) Section 12(a)(xii)(a) other than as a result of a payment default; (iv) Section 12(a)(xiii) other than as a result of a payment default thereunder (each of the foregoing, a “Limited Remedy Event of Default”), if and only if Lessor has elected to exercise remedies under this Section 12(f) and so long as no other Default (other than any other Limited Remedy Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing, then the Lessee shall, upon demand by Lessor, pay to Lessor an amount (the “Special SLV Amount”) such that the sum of (A) the present value of all Basic Term Rent paid through the date such Special SLV Amount is paid, plus (B) (1) the present value of the Lessee’s cost for obtaining an Acceptable Letter of Credit with a stated amount equal to the Required Amount to be delivered at the Basic Term Commencement Date paid through the date such Special SLV Amount is paid, plus (2) the Security Deposit as of the Basic Term Commencement date minus the present value of the Security Deposit as of the day such Special SLV Amount is paid, plus (C) the present value of the Special SLV Amount, will equal 89.95% of Equipment Cost. The actual Special SLV Amount required to be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor pursuant to this Section 12(f) shall be reduced by the amount of proceeds of the Security Deposit and/or proceeds of any Acceptable Letter of Credit that have been applied by the Lessor against the Special SLV Amount (as determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence). If and only if Lessor has elected to exercise remedies under this Section 12(f) and has demanded payment of the Special SLV Amount, the only amount payable by the Lessee solely in respect of any Limited Remedy Event of Default shall be the Special SLV Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions set forth in this Section 12(f), this Section 12(f) shall not limit in any respect (1) Lessor’s rights and remedies in connection with any Default other than a Limited Remedy Event of Default, including any and all rights and remedies relating to Lessee’s failure to pay such Special SLV Amount or to comply with any other provisions of this Agreement which failure occurs either before or after the occurrence of such Limited Remedy Event of Default and (2) any of Lessee’s obligations under Section 4 and Section 15; provided that, if and only if Lessor has elected to exercise remedies under this Section 12(f), Lessor shall not be entitled to recover any damages under Section 4 or Section 15 incurred by Lessor solely in respect of a Limited Remedy Event of Default to the extent that the aggregate amounts of any such recoveries plus any other amounts paid by Lessee under this Section 12(f) exceeds the Special SLV Amount. All present value calculations required to be made under this Section 12(f) shall use a discount rate equal to the Discount Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 12(f), unless Lessor elects to exercise remedies under this Section 12(f), none of the limitations set forth in this Section 12(f) on Lessor’s rights, remedies and indemnities shall be effective.

(g) Unless previously terminated, upon payment of all amounts due hereunder and satisfaction of all other obligations hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate and Lessor shall pay any balance of the Security Deposit to Lessee promptly and release any further interest in any Acceptable Letter of Credit.

13. ASSIGNMENT; SYNDICATION

(a) LESSEE SHALL NOT ASSIGN, MORTGAGE, SUBLET OR CREATE ANY TYPE OF LIEN OVER ANY EQUIPMENT OR THE INTEREST OF LESSEE

HEREUNDER (OTHER THAN PERMITTED LIENS) WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR.

(b) Lessor may, without the consent of Lessee, assign any or all of its right, title and interest in this Agreement and the Schedule, provided, that so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor will not assign all or any portion of its right, title and interest in this Agreement and the Schedule to any entity that Lessee determines, based on written advice of its auditors and as confirmed to Lessor in a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee delivered to Lessor within ten days after receipt of notice by Lessor as to the identity of the proposed transferee, will result in Lessee consolidating its financial reports with such entity. Lessee agrees that it will pay all Rent and other amounts payable under this Agreement and the Schedule to Lessor named therein; provided, however, if Lessee receives written notice of an assignment from Lessor, Lessee will pay all Rent and other amounts payable under this Agreement and the Schedule to such assignee or as instructed by Lessor. Lessee agrees reasonably to cooperate with Lessor in connection with any such proposed assignment, including the execution and delivery of such other documents, instruments, notices, opinions, certificates and acknowledgments, as reasonably may be required by Lessor or such assignee, and the delivery of all information concerning Lessee and each Guarantor that is reasonably necessary for Lessor to complete the assignment; and Lessee further agrees to confirm in writing receipt of a notice of assignment as reasonably may be requested by assignee. Lessee hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any such assignee any defense, set-off, recoupment claim or counterclaim that Lessee has or may at any time have against Lessor for any reason whatsoever, provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed as a waiver by Lessee of its right to assert against Lessor, in a separate action against Lessor, any claims that Lessee has against Lessor.

(c) Subject always to the foregoing, this Agreement inures to the benefit of, and is binding upon, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

(d) Lessee acknowledges that it has been advised that the interest of Lessor in this Agreement and the other Documents may be conveyed to or participated to, in whole or in part, and may be used as security for financing obtained from, one or more third parties without the consent of Lessee pursuant to a syndication.

(e) In connection herewith the Lessor, any member of the Lessor or any Affiliate of such member (a “Syndication Agent”) may initiate discussions with potential participants regarding their participation in this transaction. Lessee and its management will assist in all syndication efforts. Such assistance will include, but not be limited to: (i) prompt assistance in the preparation of an information memorandum and verification of the accuracy and completeness of the information contained therein; (ii) preparation of other information, offering materials and projections by Lessee and its advisors taking into account this transaction; (iii) providing any Syndication Agent with all information reasonably deemed necessary by such Syndication Agent to complete the syndication successfully; (iv) confirmation as to accuracy and completeness of such information, offering materials and projections; (v) participation of Lessee’s senior management in meetings and conference calls with potential lenders and rating agencies, if applicable, at such times and places as such Syndication Agent may reasonably request; and (vi) using reasonable efforts to ensure that the

syndication efforts benefit from all existing lending and investor relationships. Each Syndication Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for the inclusion of any member of Lessor as lead arranger in league table measurements. The parties agree that all information provided to Lessor from Lessee, each Guarantor, and any affiliate thereof and/or any third parties acting on behalf of such parties may be used in the syndication process and a confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit No. 4 shall be executed by any potential participants.

14. NET LEASE; NO SET-OFF, ETC.

This Agreement is a net lease. Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent and other amounts due hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional. Lessee shall not be entitled to any abatement or reductions of, or set-offs against, said Rent or other amounts, including, without limitation, those arising or allegedly arising out of claims (present or future, alleged or actual, and including claims arising out of strict tort or negligence of Lessor) of Lessee against Lessor under this Agreement or otherwise. Except as provided in Section 8 hereof, with respect to any Equipment that shall have suffered a Casualty Occurrence, this Agreement shall not terminate and the obligations of Lessee shall not be affected by reason of any defect in or damage to, or loss of possession, use or destruction of, any Equipment from whatsoever cause. It is the intention of the parties that Rents and other amounts due hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events in the manner and at the times set forth herein unless the obligation to do so shall have been terminated pursuant to the express terms hereof.

15. INDEMNIFICATION

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 15 shall be effective on and after the Basic Term Commencement Date.

(a) Lessee hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, save and keep harmless (on an After-Tax Basis), Lessor, its Members, any Affiliate of Lessor or any Member, and all agents, directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (each an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses, damages, penalties and injuries suffered by such Indemnified Party, and claims (including any Environmental Loss), actions and suits against such Indemnified Party, including reasonable legal expenses, of whatsoever kind and nature, in contract or tort, whether caused by the active or passive negligence of Lessor (other than Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) (herein a “Claim”) arising out of or related to this Agreement or any other Operative Document, the transaction contemplated hereby or the enforcement hereof or related to the Facility, the Equipment or the Site, including, but not limited to, Lessor’s strict liability in tort, arising out of the selection, importation, manufacture, purchase, acceptance, operation or rejection of any or the Equipment, the ownership of the Equipment during the Term, and the delivery, lease, sublease, possession, maintenance, use, condition, return or operation of the Equipment (including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by Lessor or Lessee and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement or Environmental Loss); provided, that the indemnity set forth in this Section 15(a) shall not be available to the extent (i) such Claim is attributable to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement or any other Operative Document by such Indemnified Party, (ii) such Claim arises

and relates to periods after the later of (x) the termination or expiration of this Agreement or (y) the return of the Equipment in accordance with the terms hereof or (iii) such claims are for Taxes.

(b) Lessee hereby represents, warrants and covenants that at no time during the term of this Agreement will Lessee take or omit to take, nor will it permit any sublessee or assignee to take or omit to take, any action (whether or not such act or omission is otherwise permitted by Lessor or by this Agreement), which will result in the disqualification of any Equipment for, or the recapture or disallowance of, all or any portion of the Tax Benefits.

(c) If as a result of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Lessee contained in this Agreement or the Schedule (including part 2 of Section D of Exhibit No. 1 but excluding part 1 of Section D of Exhibit No. 1) (i) tax counsel of Lessor shall reasonably determine that Lessor (or any Member) is not entitled to claim on its U.S. Federal income tax return all or any portion of the Tax Benefits with respect to any Equipment, or (ii) any Tax Benefit claimed on the U.S. Federal income tax return of Lessor or any Member is disallowed or adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service, or (iii) any Tax Benefit is recalculated or recaptured (any determination, disallowance, adjustment, recalculation or recapture being a “Loss”), then Lessee shall pay to Lessor or the applicable Member, as an indemnity and as additional Rent, an amount that shall, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor and each Member, cause each Member’s Net Economic Return to equal the Net Economic Return that would have been realized by such Member if such Loss had not occurred. Such amount shall be payable upon demand accompanied by a written statement from the Lessor or a Member describing in reasonable detail such Loss and the computation of such amount. If an adjustment has been made under Section 3 then the Effective Rate used in the next preceding adjustment shall be substituted. If Lessee is obligated to make a tax indemnity payment to any Member pursuant to this Section 15(c), in lieu of making such payment in a lump sum, Lessee may elect (with such Member’s consent, it being understood that such Member may withhold its consent to such election based upon, without limitation, the Lessee’s (or PGI’s) then credit rating or such Member’s then lending policies) to pay the amount due in a series of equal payments that will be sufficient to maintain the Net Economic Return of each Member as if such Loss had not occurred, commencing on the next Rent Payment Date and payable on each Rent Payment Date thereafter until a date not later than the end of the Term; provided that if the Lease terminates prior to its scheduled expiration, Lessee shall make a lump sum payment to Lessor or each Member that, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor and such Member, is sufficient to cause each Member’s Net Economic Return to equal the Net Economic Return that would have been realized by such Member if such Loss had not occurred.

(d) All references to Lessor in this Section 15 include Lessor, each Member, and any assignees of Lessor or any Member, and (for the purposes of determining whether a Loss has occurred and any amount due hereunder) the consolidated taxpayer group of which any Member is a member. All of Lessor’s, each Member’s and each Indemnified Party’s rights, privileges and indemnities contained in this Section 15 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement. The rights, privileges and indemnities contained in this Agreement are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by Lessor, any Member, and the successors and assigns of the Lessor and any Member, and each Indemnified Party.

(e) Lessee acknowledges and agrees that there is no employment relationship between Lessor and the personnel, employees and subcontractors of the Lessee or its Affiliates, and responsibility for such labor relationship belongs exclusively to the Lessee or its Affiliate in accordance with the requirements of all Applicable Laws. Lessee or its Affiliate is the “Employer” for all purposes of United States and Virginia law with respect to all of the employees at Lessee’s service, and they are the only person benefiting from the services rendered by such employees.

Lessee represents and warrants that it or its Affiliates has the legal and economic capacity to comply with its labor obligations, so that it or its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for all obligations with respect to their respective employees.

Therefore, in the case of any labor dispute between Lessee and its or its Affiliate’s personnel, employees and subcontractors, in which, for any reason, Lessor is involved, Lessee shall release and indemnify Lessor (on an After-Tax Basis) from any kind of claim made against it by any of Lessee’s or its Affiliate’s personnel, employees and subcontractors, and Lessee shall have the obligation to pay any such amounts as indemnification (severance), and the Lessee hereby releases Lessor from any responsibility thereof.

Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses caused by any labor dispute filed directly or indirectly against Lessee or Lessor or with respect to the Equipment unless such dispute arises during and relates solely to the period following the later of (i) the termination or expiration of this Agreement or (ii) the return of the Equipment in accordance with the terms hereof.

(f) Lessor and each other Indemnified Party will give Lessee prompt written notice of any Claim or claim for which it is entitled indemnity under this Section 15 or any other provision of this Agreement. Lessee will be entitled to control the defense and settlement of each such Claim or claim, including the selection of legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor, provided that Lessee shall have no right to defend or settle any Claim or claim if (1) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (2) such claim would entail significant risk to any Indemnified Party of any criminal liability; provided further, that no right to compromise or settle such Claim or claim shall exist unless the Lessee agrees in writing to pay the amount of such settlement or compromise. Each Indemnified Party will give Lessee and its legal counsel reasonable assistance in connection with any such defense or settlement, and Lessee will reimburse the foregoing Persons for their actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing that assistance. Each Indemnified Party may participate in such defense and settlement at its own expense using legal counsel it selects, provided that in the event Lessee fails to defend or settle any Claim or claim, Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided further, that if in the written opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party an actual or potential material conflict exists where it is advisable for such Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 15(f) shall not apply to any claim for Taxes, or any amount payable pursuant to Section 4 or Section 15(c) hereof.

If, and so long as, no default exists under this Agreement, Lessee shall be, and hereby is, authorized during the Term of this Agreement to assert and enforce, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, from time to time, in the name of and for the account of Lessor and/or Lessee, as their interests may appear, whatever claims and rights Lessor may have against any Vendor of the Equipment.

(xiii) Since December 31, 2009, there has not been any material adverse change in the capital structure or liquidity levels of PGI and its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole except as set forth in public filings or otherwise publicly disclosed.

(xiv) Except as previously disclosed to Lessor prior to the Basic Term Commencement Date: (i) neither Lessee nor any Guarantor is or has in the past been in violation of any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit with respect to the Equipment or the Site, which violation could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to any Guarantor or Lessee or could otherwise result in a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) no Guarantor nor Lessee, nor to any Guarantor’s or Lessee’s knowledge any third party, has used, Released, generated, handled, manufactured, produced or stored at, in, on, under, or about the Site, or transported thereto or therefrom, any Hazardous Substances that could be expected to subject any Guarantor or Lessee to material liability under any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit; (iii) there are no Hazardous Substances generated, used, stored or present on the Site other than is necessary for the business as presently conducted and in material compliance with applicable Environmental Law or Environmental Permit; (iv) to the best of Lessee’s knowledge, there is or has been no condition, circumstance, action, omission, activity or event with respect to the Site that could form the basis of any material violation of any Environmental Law, Environmental Permit or any material liability to any Guarantor and Lessee under Environmental Law or Environmental Permit; and (v) there is no pending or unresolved proceeding, investigation or inquiry of which Lessee has been notified by any Governmental Authority (including without limitation, the EPA or any non-government third party) with respect to the presence or Release of Hazardous Substances at, in, on or from the Site which presence or Release could reasonably be expected to result in any material violation of or liability to Lessee or any Guarantor under Environmental Law or Environmental Permit.

(xv) The Equipment has been “placed in service” on or prior to the Basic Term Commencement Date.

dealings with certain persons listed on the publicly available Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by OFAC, (y) Section 1(b), (c) or (d) of Executive Order No. 13224 (September 23, 2001) and (z) the prevention and detection of money laundering violations under the US Bank Secrecy Act (Financial Recordkeeping and Reporting of Currency and Foreign Transactions Act of 1970, 31 U.S.C. 1051 et. seq.)

There is no reason to expect that any licenses, permits, authorizations or approvals of any Governmental Authority or supply, disposal or other contracts that are required at the time of and after such taking of possession of the Equipment to enable Lessor or its transferee or assignee or an operator to operate the Equipment in the Facility in the ordinary course and in compliance with substantially the same legal requirements as are applicable to Lessee cannot be obtained, renewed or replaced, as the case may be, by Lessor, such transferee or assignee or an operator, as the case may be, upon such Person’s taking possession of the Equipment.

(b) Lessee hereby covenants and agrees with Lessor that:

(i) The Equipment will at all times be used for commercial or business purposes, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Lessee shall maintain a system of identification number tagging on the Equipment and any significant Part thereof by affixing in a prominent position on the Equipment (and components thereof) plates, tags or other identifying labels stating (i) that the Equipment is property of Lessor and (ii) the manufacturer, serial numbers and type and model thereof as set forth in Annex A to the Schedule.

The EH&S Program shall involve senior management, shall include a formal written corporate environmental policy, and shall be directed by the person responsible for Lessee’s EH&S compliance.

(iv) At Lessor’s request (not more frequently than once in any 12-month period, unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing), Lessee shall provide Lessor with a briefing regarding Lessee’s compliance with its EH&S Program and Lessee shall take such action reasonably requested by Lessor to address any deficiencies noted by Lessor under Applicable Law.

(vi) Lessee has fee simple title to the Site and shall cause fee simple title to the future expansion parcel referenced in the Site Lease to be granted to it no later than September 1, 2010.

(vii) Lessee shall provide, at its sole cost and expense, prior to entering into a mortgage with respect to the Site, a SNDA, duly executed (and in recordable form) by each mortgagee, with respect to the Site. Lessee shall maintain each SNDA at all times during the Term for the estimated useful life of the Equipment. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor 30 days’ prior written notice of any assignment, transfer or sale by Site Lessor of the Site and Lessee agrees that any assignment of the Site shall be made subject to the terms of the Site Lease.

(viii) Lessee shall maintain at all times from the date hereof through the Basic Term, an Acceptable Letter of Credit, for the benefit of Lessor, in order to secure Lessee’s obligations under the Documents. In the event that any Acceptable Letter of Credit has an expiration or termination date prior to the Basic Term, Lessee shall replace such Acceptable Letter of Credit with an Acceptable Letter of Credit in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement no later than thirty (30) days prior to such expiration or termination date. If (a) a Downgrade Event has occurred or (b) Lessee shall make a

good faith determination that a significant possibility exists that a Downgrade Event will occur, Lessee, within 30 days of the earliest of (i) having knowledge of such fact, (ii) reaching such good faith determination or (iii) receiving notice from Lessor of such fact, shall provide a replacement Acceptable Letter of Credit. Lessee shall not at any time permit any Liens (other than Lessor’s Liens) to exist on Lessor’s interest in the Acceptable Letter of Credit or in its rights to enforce payment thereon.

(ix) Lessee shall deliver the reports as set forth in Sections 5(b) and 5(e).

(c) Lessor hereby represents and warrants to Lessee that on the date hereof and on the date of execution of the Schedule:

(i) Lessor is a Delaware limited liability company duly formed and validly existing in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the Lessor’s organizational identification number is 4821012. Lessor’s EIN is 27-2569352.

(ii) The Documents to which Lessor is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessor and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Operative Documents by each party thereto other than Lessor, constitute valid, legal and binding obligations, enforceable against Lessor in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of remedies therein provided may be limited under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(iii) Lessor has adequate limited liability company power and authority to enter into, and perform under, the Documents to which it is a party. The entry into and

performance by Lessor of the Documents will not violate its certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement.

18. INTENT; TITLE

(a) It is the express intent of the parties that this Agreement constitute a true lease and not a sale of the Equipment. It is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto that Lessor is the legal owner of all of the Equipment. Title to the Equipment shall at all times remain in Lessor, and Lessee shall acquire no ownership, title, property, right, equity, or interest in the Equipment other than its leasehold interest solely as Lessee subject to all the terms and conditions hereof. The parties agree that the lease is a “Finance Lease” as defined in Uniform Commercial Code Article 2A — Leases (“Article 2A”). Lessee acknowledges: (a) that Lessee has selected the “Supplier” (as defined in Article 2A) and directed Lessor to purchase the Equipment from the Vendors; (b) that Lessee has been informed in writing in this Agreement, before signing this Agreement, that Lessee is entitled under Article 2A to the promises and warranties, including those of any third party, provided to Lessor by the Vendors in connection with or as part of the contract by which Lessor acquired the Equipment, and that Lessee may communicate with the Vendor and receive an accurate and complete statement of those promises and warranties, including any disclaimers and limitations of them or of remedies. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Lessee hereby waives any and all rights and remedies conferred upon a lessee in Section 508(5) of Article 2A; provided, however that such waiver shall not preclude Lessee from asserting any claim of Lessee against Lessor in a separate cause of action; and provided further that such waiver shall not affect Lessor’s obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness and care.

(b) Notwithstanding the express intent of the parties, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this Agreement is not a true lease, but rather one intended as security, then solely in that event and for the expressly limited purposes thereof, Lessee shall be deemed to have hereby granted Lessor a security interest in the Equipment, and all accessions thereto, substitutions and replacements therefor, and proceeds (including insurance proceeds) thereof (but without power of sale) to secure the prompt payment and performance as and when due of all obligations and indebtedness of Lessee (or any affiliate of Lessee) to Lessor, now existing or hereafter created. For the purposes of this paragraph, this Agreement, the Schedule, or a photocopy of either thereof may be filed as a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code.

If Lessee shall have given the notice provided in the first sentence of paragraph (a) above, and a Default occurs and is continuing at the expiration of this Agreement, Lessor may elect either to enforce the option exercised by Lessee or demand return of the Equipment to Lessor in full compliance with Section 11 of this Agreement.

(c) The Lessee may elect, upon not more than 180 days’ and not less than 90 days’ irrevocable written notice to Lessor prior to the First EBO Date, to purchase on the First EBO Date all (but not less than all) of the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS for a purchase price equal to the First EBO Price plus all applicable taxes. If Lessee has elected to exercise the purchase option set forth in this Section 19(c), on the First EBO Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor in cash the First EBO Price (plus all applicable taxes) together with any Rent or other sums due hereunder on such date (excluding any Basic Term Rent scheduled to be paid on such First EBO Date) and Lessor shall convey to Lessee title to the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, free and clear of all Lessor’s Liens.

20. MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Any cancellation or termination by Lessor, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Schedule, supplement or amendment hereto, or the lease of the Equipment hereunder, shall not release Lessee from any then outstanding obligations to Lessor hereunder.

(b) Lessor’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Lessee of any of the provisions hereof shall not waive or diminish Lessor’s right thereafter to demand strict compliance therewith.

(c) Lessee agrees, upon receiving Lessor’s written request, to execute any instrument necessary for filing, recording or perfecting the interest of Lessor, and to execute and deliver to Lessor such further documents, instruments and assurances and to take such

further action as Lessor from time to time reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereunder.

Each of the parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; provided that this sentence will not be construed as a waiver of any right to file an appeal or to seek a stay.

22. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

(a) Lessor shall keep confidential and shall not disclose to any Person, except as expressly permitted by this Section 22, all Confidential Information. Lessor shall only be entitled to disclose Confidential Information to (i) its, its Members’ and its Members’ Affiliates’ respective employees, officers, directors, agents, consultants, advisors, auditors, attorneys and accountants (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the Transactions) who agree to hold the Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of this Section 22, (ii) any prospective purchaser of the Equipment or of any Member’s interest in Lessor (if such Person first executes and delivers to Lessor and Lessee a confidentiality agreement at least as restrictive as this Section 22), provided that under no circumstances shall Lessor disclose any Proprietary Information to any such prospective purchaser, (iii) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority, (iv) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (v) in connection with the exercise of remedies under this Agreement or under any other Operative Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Operative Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Lessor shall only use the Confidential Information as expressly permitted by this Section 22 and shall not use any Confidential Information on behalf of any other Person except as expressly permitted by this Section 22.

(c) Lessor shall have no liability for any disclosure of any Confidential Information by any consultants, contractors, engineers, employees, independent contractors and other Persons who have executed a confidentiality agreement with Lessee or any of its Affiliates.

(d) Confidential Information shall not include any information, document or record (a) that is or becomes lawfully available to the general public without any breach of this Agreement or any violation of any Applicable Law, (b) that was previously lawfully in the possession of Lessor without any obligation to Lessee, any Guarantor or any other Person to hold it in confidence or to restrict the use of it, or (c) that Lessor receives from a third party who is free to disclose that information to Lessor without breaching any agreement or violating any Applicable Law.

(e) If Lessor is required or intends to disclose Confidential Information under Section 22(a)(iii), 22(a)(iv) or 22(a)(v), Lessor shall give Lessee prompt and prior written notice of the proposed disclosure (to the extent reasonably possible and not otherwise prohibited). Additionally, Lessee shall be entitled to take those actions it deems necessary or appropriate, including seeking to prevent the disclosure of its Confidential Information. Lessor will provide reasonable assistance to Lessee in connection with those actions, and Lessee will reimburse Lessor for Lessor’s and any Member’s actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing that assistance. Lessor shall disclose Confidential Information only in compliance with this Section 22.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 22, Lessor may disclose Confidential Information (but not Proprietary Information), as necessary, to a potential investor in a syndication of this Lease as long as that potential investor first executes and delivers to Lessor a confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit No. 4.

(g) The provisions contained in this Section 22 and any similar provisions in any separate confidentiality agreement executed by any Member or any employee of Lessor or any Member shall survive for a period of 18 months following the termination of this Agreement (whether at the end of the Basic Term or at the time of any earlier termination of this Agreement).

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of confidentiality contained herein, as they relate to the Transactions, shall not apply to the federal tax structure or federal tax treatment of the Transactions, and each party hereto (and any employee, representative, or agent of any party hereto) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal tax structure and federal tax treatment of the Transactions. The preceding sentence is intended to cause each Transaction to be treated as not having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose. In addition, each party hereto acknowledges that it has no proprietary or exclusive rights to the federal tax structure of the Transactions or any federal tax matter or federal tax idea related to the Transactions.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessee and Lessor have caused this Equipment Lease Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above written.

Part 1. Tax Benefits and Assumptions

The Net Economic Return of the Lessor and each Member was computed based, in part, on the assumption that the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents will have the following consequences for United States Federal and state and local income tax purposes:

Exhibit 1-2

(a) Provided that no election to treat the Lessor as a corporation has been made, and provided neither Lessor nor any Member takes any action to cause the tax treatment of the Lessor to change, the Lessor will be treated as a partnership and the Members will be treated as the only partners therein, and each Member will be entitled and required to take into account, in computing its taxable income, its distributive share (based on the allocations of such items between each Member as set forth in the LLC Agreement of the Lessor) of all items of income, gain, loss, or deduction with respect to the Equipment and the Lease.

(b) Lessor will be treated as the owner of the Equipment as of the date purchased, and the Lease will be treated as a “true lease,” such that the Lessor will be treated as lessor and the lessee will be treated as the lessee of the Equipment.

(c) The Lessor will be entitled to cost recovery deductions pursuant to Section 168(b) of the Code with respect to one hundred percent of the Lessor’s Tax Basis commencing on the date the entire Equipment is “placed in service” for purposes of section 168 of the Code, computed on the basis that all of the Equipment is “7-year property” within the meaning of section 168(c) of the Code, resulting in deductions in each of the years set out below equal to the percentages of the Equipment Cost set out below (provided that neither Lessor nor any Member makes any election to exclude such treatment):

2011	14.29	%
2012	24.49	%
2013	17.49	%
2014	12.49	%
2015	8.93	%
2016	8.92	%
2017	8.93	%
2018	4.46	%

(d) The Lessor will be entitled to deductions for the amortization of 100% Lessor’s Transaction Costs computed on a straight-line basis over the Term of the Lease.

(e) Each Member will at all times be subject to income tax at a Federal income tax rate of 35% and state and local income tax rate of 7%, for a combined rate of 39.55%.

(f) Lessor will not be required to report any income during the term of the Lease, other than Basic Term Rent for the periods to which it is allocated under the last sentence of Section 2(a) of the Agreement, any payment of Stipulated Loss Value on the date payable in accordance with the Lease, or the payment of purchase price by Lessee in connection with the exercise by Lessee of a purchase option under the Lease.

Part 2. Lessee Representations and Warranties

In order to induce the Lessor and each Member to enter into the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, the Lessee hereby represents, warrants to, and covenants with the Lessor and each Member that:

Exhibit 1-3

(a) On the Basic Term Commencement Date, the Equipment (and each component thereof) constitutes “7-year property” as defined in section 168(e) of the Code, and on such date the entire Equipment will be “placed in service” for purposes of section 168 of the Code;

(b) The Equipment on the Basic Term Commencement Date constitutes an “integrated facility”, which means that the Equipment as designed and constructed is a fully-integrated and self-contained facility, and each component of the Equipment is interrelated to each other component of the Equipment in function and design, and no component is designed or intended for use in commercial operation independently of the other components;

(c) On the Basic Term Commencement Date, the Equipment will not require any improvements, modifications or additions in order for the Equipment to be rendered complete for its intended use by the Lessee (other than ancillary items of equipment of a kind not necessary for the Equipment to operate and be treated as placed in service);

(d) Taking into account the Site Lease and Support Agreement, the use of the Equipment by a person (other than the Lessee or any affiliate of the Lessee) at the end of the Term of the Lease is reasonably expected to be commercially feasible (where such determination is made based on the standards that would be applied by reasonably prudent businessmen on the basis of present knowledge and generally accepted engineering standards), such that the Equipment is not and will not be treated as “limited use” property for purposes of Rev. Proc. 2001-28;

(e) All information supplied by the Lessee or any Affiliate or agent of the Lessee to the Lessor, any Member (or any Affiliate of any Member), any independent appraiser or engineer or any independent counsel with respect to the description, nature, function, testing and cost of the Equipment, and with respect to the state of readiness of the Equipment when delivered and accepted under the Lease, including, but not limited to, facts relating to its intended use, economic life and residual value, was complete and accurate at the time given and as of the Basic Term Commencement Date;

(f) The remaining useful life of the Equipment at the end of the Basic Term is reasonably expected to be at least 20% of its original useful life as of the Basic Term Commencement Date, and the Equipment is reasonably expected to have a fair market value of at least 20% of the Equipment Cost (exclusive of the effects of inflation or deflation) at the end of the Basic Term;

(g) The Lessee will not construct or install on the Equipment any component, improvement, alteration or addition, unless such construction or installation will not adversely affect the status of the Lease as a true lease for federal and state income tax purposes or otherwise result in the Lessor or any Member being required to include an amount in gross income for federal or state income tax purposes;

(h) Neither the Lessee nor any Affiliate of the Lessee will take a position on any tax return, amended tax return or claim for refund or in connection with the examination of any such return which is inconsistent with the intentions of the Lessor as set out in Section 1 hereof, and the Lessee will take such action and execute such documents as the Lessor may

Exhibit 1-4

reasonably request to establish and protect the Lessor’s and each Member’s entitlement to such benefits;

(i) On the Basic Term Commencement Date, the Equipment (and each component thereof) is not property described in section 168(g)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Code, and at no time during the Term of the Lease will the Equipment (or any component thereof) become property described in section 168(g)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Code, other than as the result of any action by the Lessor or any Member;

(j) The Lessor shall not be required to include in gross income for Federal or state income tax purposes (including as a result of any recapture of MACRS deductions or corresponding state deductions) at any time during the Term any amount as a result of (A) any modification, replacement, maintenance or repairs with respect to the Equipment; or (B) any agreement between the Lessee and any supplier, vendor, contractor, engineer or manufacturer;

(k) The Equipment is separate and distinct from any other equipment owned by the Lessee or any other Person (other than the Lessor) and located on the Site (“Lessee’s Equipment”), and is fully operable by a separate owner or operator, independent of the Lessee’s Equipment;

(l) Neither the physical attributes of the Equipment, any purchase price available to the Lessee under the Lease, the return conditions and requirement set forth in the Lease, the costs to and potential obligations of the Lessee under the Operative Agreements in the event the Lessee does not exercise any purchase option, the close proximity and common housing of the Equipment and the Lessee’s Equipment, the Basic Rent due under the Lease after any purchase option date, nor any other factor known to the Lessee would created a material inducement to (or economically compel) the Lessee to exercise any of the purchase options set forth in the Lease; and

(m) The close proximity and common housing of the Equipment and the Lessee’s Equipment does not and will not have any adverse effect on the ability of the Lessor to realize the full anticipated residual value of the Equipment.

E. Term and Rent.

(a) Basic Term Rent. Commencing on the Basic Term Commencement Date and monthly thereafter on the corresponding day which is one month later during the Basic Term (for a total of 84 installment payments of Rent), Lessee shall pay as Rent for the Equipment (“Basic Term Rent”) the product of the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor for the applicable Rent Payment Date (as defined below) times the Capitalized Lessor’s Cost of the Equipment on this Schedule. Rent shall be allocated and accrued for use of the Equipment for federal income tax purposes to the one month period beginning on the date such Rent is scheduled to be paid. Each date for the payment of Rent during the Basic Term is herein referred to as a “Rent Payment Date.”

(b) If any Rent Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Rent otherwise due on such date shall be payable on the immediately preceding Business Day.

Exhibit 1-5

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessee and Lessor have caused this Schedule to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above written.

GUARANTY

GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”), dated as of June 24, 2010, by POLYMER GROUP, INC. (“PGI”) and PGI POLYMER, INC. (“Polymer” and together with PGI, the “Guarantors” and individually, each a “Guarantor”), in favor of Gossamer Holdings, LLC, as Owner and Lessor (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Beneficiary”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, Chicopee, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as Construction Agent, and the Beneficiary, as Owner, have entered into a Construction Agency Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “CAA”) for the purchase, delivery, construction and installation of the Equipment (as defined therein); and

WHEREAS, the Company, as lessee, and the Beneficiary, as lessor, have entered into an Equipment Lease Agreement dated as of the date hereof (collectively, with all schedules entered into in connection therewith and as such agreement or any schedule is amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Equipment Lease”) for the lease by Beneficiary to the Company of the Equipment; and

WHEREAS, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Polymer, and Polymer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PGI; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits by reason of the CAA, the Equipment Lease and the transactions contemplated thereby (which benefits are hereby acknowledged);

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Beneficiary to execute and deliver the CAA, the Equipment Lease (including the schedule thereto) and the other Operative Documents, and in consideration thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in Appendix I to the Equipment Lease.

2. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Beneficiary, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and prompt payment and performance when due of all obligations of the Company under the CAA, the Equipment Lease and each other Operative Document to which the Company is a party (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Exhibit 3-2

All payments by Guarantor hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars, to:

	Bank:	Deutsche Bank
	Branch:	New York
	Bank Account #:	50286772
	ABA:	021001033
	Account Name:	Gossamer Holdings, LLC
	Customer:	Polymer Group, Inc.

3. Nature of Guarantor’s Obligations. This Guaranty shall constitute a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the CAA, the Equipment Lease and the other Operative Documents (including, without limitation, payment by the Company of all amounts due to the Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of any of the Operative Documents and regardless of any defense to, or excuse from, payment or performance which the Company may have under Applicable Laws). The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are joint and several, irrevocable, absolute, unconditional, present and continuing obligations which are not conditional upon the exercise of any remedies against the Company or the making of a demand against the Company or the filing of a suit to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgment against the Company for the Guaranteed Obligations or the making of an effort at collecting the Guaranteed Obligations from the Company, or any attempt to foreclose or realize upon any security for obligations of the Company or the taking of any other action with respect to the Company, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that Guarantor shall be directly obligated hereunder, for all amounts payable by the Company under the CAA, the Equipment Lease and the other Operative Documents and for breaches of or failures to perform or observe, or any other noncompliance with any covenant, condition or agreement or other obligation to be performed by the Company under any of the CAA, the Equipment Lease or the other Operative Documents or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company in any of the CAA, the Equipment Lease or the other Operative Documents. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction, release, recoupment or defense (statutory or otherwise) (other than the defense of payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or otherwise and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity, genuineness, regularity or enforceability of the CAA, the Equipment Lease or any of the other Operative Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment, or waiver of or any consent to departure from the CAA, the Equipment Lease or the other Operative Documents;

Exhibit 3-3

(iii) the existence, value, condition, loss, subordination, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment, modification, changes or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv) any bankruptcy or insolvency of, or any merger or consolidation of, or any sale of shares in, the Company;

(v) any failure or delay by the Beneficiary to pursue remedies under the CAA, the Equipment Lease or any of the other Operative Documents or under law against the Company;

(vi) the pursuit by the Beneficiary of whatsoever remedies there may be against the Company, any other guarantor or any security or any other credit support for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(vii) any claim as a result of any other dealing between the Beneficiary and the Company;

(viii) any defect in the title, condition, design, operation or fitness for use of, or damage or loss or destruction of, the Equipment (or any part thereof), whether or not due to the fault of the Company or any other Person,

(ix) any assignment, sublease, transfer or other arrangement by which the Company transfers possession or loses control of the use of any of the Equipment (other than as permitted by the CAA, the Equipment Lease or any other Operative Document);

(x) any release of, extension of time for payment or performance by or any other indulgence granted to the Company or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations by operation of law or otherwise; or

(xi) any other occurrence or circumstances whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and any other circumstances (other than actual payment or performance) that might otherwise constitute a legal, statutory or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety, or of the Company under the CAA, the Equipment Lease or the other Operative Documents that might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor under this Guaranty or otherwise to the extent such defense or discharge can be waived under applicable law.

4. Authorization; Other Agreements. The Beneficiary is hereby authorized, without notice to or demand upon any Guarantor and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any liability hereunder, from time to time, to do each of the following:

(i) modify, amend, supplement or otherwise change, (ii) accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment or (iii) waive or otherwise consent to

Exhibit 3-4

noncompliance with, any Guaranteed Obligation or any of the CAA, the Equipment Lease or any other Operative Document;

(ii) apply to the Guaranteed Obligations any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any Guaranteed Obligation in such order as provided in the CAA, the Equipment Lease or the other Operative Documents;

(iii) refund at any time any payment received by the Beneficiary in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation;

(iv) sell, exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, release, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, accept, substitute, surrender, exchange, affect, impair or otherwise alter or release any collateral for any Guaranteed Obligation or any other guaranty therefor in any manner, (ii) receive, take and hold additional collateral to secure any Guaranteed Obligation, (iii) add, release or substitute any one or more other Guarantors, makers or endorsers of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof and (iv) otherwise deal in any manner with the Company and any other Guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof; and

(v) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations.

5. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to the Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the CAA, the Equipment Lease or any of the other Operative Documents is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, dissolution, liquidation or the like, of the Company, or upon or as a result of, the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Company or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made notwithstanding any termination of this Guaranty, the CAA, the Equipment Lease or any of the other Operative Documents. Indefeasible fulfillment by the Company or any Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall dispose of any claim hereunder with respect to, and to the extent of, such Guaranteed Obligations and indefeasible payment and performance in full by the Company or any Guarantor acknowledged in writing by the Beneficiary shall terminate this Guaranty.

6. Reliance. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Company, each other Guarantor and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Beneficiary shall not have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event the Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide

Exhibit 3-5

any such information to any Guarantor, the Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that the Beneficiary, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor

7. Waiver, Subrogation and Subordination.

(i) Each Guarantor hereby waives (a) notice of any of the foregoing matters, (b) promptness, diligence, demand, protest, proof or notice of nonpayment and notice of acceptance and (c) any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty except for such notices as are required to be made to Guarantor by the express terms of this Guaranty, the CAA, the Equipment Lease or the other Operative Documents.

(ii) Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Guarantor, no Guarantor shall be subrogated to any rights of the Beneficiary against the Company until all of the Guaranteed Obligations then due shall have been finally, indefeasibly and unconditionally paid and performed in full. Any claim of any Guarantor against the Company or arising from payments made by any Guarantor by reason of this Guaranty shall be in all respects subordinated to the final, indefeasible, unconditional, full and complete payment or discharge of all of the Guaranteed Obligations, and no payment by any Guarantor shall give rise to any claim of any Guarantor against the Beneficiary.

(iii) So long as the Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, if any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor relating to any of the rights waived in this Paragraph 7, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary, and shall from there be turned over to the Beneficiary in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to the Beneficiary, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as may be specified by the CAA, the Equipment Lease and the other Operative Documents.

8. Taxes on Payments. All payments hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any taxes, levies, fees, imposts, duties, assessments or other charges, together with all penalties, fines, additions to tax and interest thereon; provided, that if any such taxes are required under applicable law, regulation or otherwise to be deducted or withheld from any payment to the Beneficiary hereunder, then each Guarantor shall pay an additional amount such that after deduction for any withholdings (including withholdings on such additional amount), the Beneficiary shall receive the same amount it would have received in the absence of such withholdings. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold the Beneficiary harmless on an after-tax basis for any incremental taxes imposed against, or suffered by, the Beneficiary that result from payments being made pursuant to this Guaranty rather than pursuant to the CAA, the Equipment Lease or the other Operative Documents.

Exhibit 3-6

9. Rights of Third Parties. This Guaranty is made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the Beneficiary and its successors and permitted assigns to the extent of its interest in the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be construed to create any right in any Person other than the Beneficiary and its respective permitted successors and assigns or to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any Person other than the Beneficiary and its successors and permitted assigns.

10. Rights to Deal with the Company. At any time and from time to time, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of this Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder, the Beneficiary may deal with the Company in the same manner and as fully as if this Guaranty did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to grant the Company such extension or extensions of time to perform, or to waive any obligation of the Company to perform, any act or acts as the Beneficiary may deem advisable, and no such waiver or extension shall in any way limit or otherwise affect any of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder.

11. Notices. All notices required to be given hereunder shall be deemed adequately given if sent by certified mail to the addressee at its address stated herein, or at such other place as such addressee may have designated in writing. All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Guaranty must be in writing and shall be sent in the manner specified in the Equipment Lease for notices to the Company and to the address specified below:

12. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Beneficiary to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

13. Continuing Guaranty; Transfer of Interest. This Guaranty is a continuing guarantee and shall (i) remain in full force and effect all of the Guaranteed Obligations then due shall have been finally, indefeasibly and unconditionally paid and performed in full, (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor, and its successors and permitted assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Beneficiary and its respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Beneficiary, upon such Person’s request, such instruments and assurances and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary written to confirm or evidence the rights hereunder of any successor or assignee to or of such Person.

Exhibit 3-7

14. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Beneficiary, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

15. Enforcement Expenses. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees to pay to the Beneficiary any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by the Beneficiary in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty.

(i) such Guarantor it is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation in good standing wherever necessary to carry on its present business and operations, except where the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

ADDRESS

Re: Confidentiality Letter

Dear :

[ ] (“Investor”) is entering into discussions with Gossamer Holdings, LLC (the “Company”) concerning the financing of a 5 beam composite spunmelt nonwoven production line manufactured, primarily by, and purchased from Reifenhäuser REICOFIL GmbH & Co. KG and other vendors (together with related equipment, as applicable) located at 1020 Shenandoah Village Drive, Waynesboro, Virginia, 22980-9292 (the “Financing”). In connection therewith, the Company will provide Investor with certain “Confidential Information” (as defined below) pursuant to the terms hereof.

“Confidential Information” means (i) any written or oral information provided by or through the Company in connection with the Financing relating to the business, finances, operations or affairs of the Company (other than information described in paragraph (c) below) and (ii) the fact that discussions or investigations with respect to the Financing are taking place.

Investor will maintain as confidential any Confidential Information using the same standard of care as it uses in protecting its own confidential information of a similar nature and otherwise on the following terms and conditions and will only use Confidential Information to evaluate the Financing:

(a) Investor may disclose Confidential Information on a confidential, “need-to-know” basis to its and its affiliates’ employees, officers, directors and agents (including attorneys) (“Representatives”) in connection with the Financing, but Investor shall direct each Representative to treat the Confidential Information confidentially. Such persons and entities will not be deemed Representatives hereunder unless (and solely to the extent that) Investor furnishes such information to such persons or entities.

(b) Investor may disclose without liability any Confidential Information if such disclosure is (i) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the interest of Investor or an affiliate in the Financing (including to a rating agency) so long as such Confidential Information is disclosed to the recipient thereof (other than any rating agency) subject to confidentiality provisions substantially the same terms as those hereof or (ii)

Exhibit 4-1

reasonably believed by it to be compelled or required by any law, court decree, subpoena, legal or administrative order or process, or legitimate request of any governmental agency or authority (collectively, an “Order”). Unless prohibited by the terms of an Order, Investor shall notify the Company of the receipt of any such Order and shall reasonably cooperate, at the Company’s expense, with any attempt by the Company to obtain an appropriate protective order.

(c) Investor shall not be precluded from disclosing or using any Confidential Information, (i) which was in its or one of its affiliate’s possession prior to any disclosure by the Company on a non-confidential basis, (ii) which is publicly available through no fault or breach by Investor or any person or entity to whom Investor discloses any Confidential Information, (iii) which becomes available to Investor from sources not known by it after reasonable inquiry to be subject to disclosure restrictions, or (iv) which is independently developed by Investor or its Representatives.

(d) Any Confidential Information shall be upon the Company’s written request, either returned or destroyed; however, Investor shall not be required to expunge from its records internally generated documents (including electronic copies) containing Confidential Information which it maintains under its normal record retention policy, but Investor shall continue to maintain as confidential all such documents pursuant to the terms of this agreement.

Except for the maintenance of confidentiality on the above terms, the commencement of discussions shall not create any other obligation either (i) to or of the Company of any kind, or (ii) to or of Investor of any kind, and no such obligation can be created except by a duly authorized, executed and delivered written agreement. This agreement shall remain effective for a term of 18 months from the last disclosure of Confidential Information to Investor hereunder. This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without regard to its conflicts of law provisions).

In the event that Investor acquires an equity interest in the Company, on and after the date of such acquisition, this Confidentiality Letter shall be superseded and replaced by the terms of Section 22 of that certain Equipment Lease Agreement dated as of June 24, 2010 among Chicopee, Inc. as lessee and the Company as lessor.
