(formerly known as AIRGAS-REFRIGERANTS, INC.), a Delaware corporation (“ARI” and together with Hudson Technologies, and Holdings, collectively, the “Borrowers”, and each a “Borrower”), the other Credit Parties hereto, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as collateral agent and administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacities, the “Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement or the Second Amendment, as applicable.
Borrowers, Agent and Lenders hereby agree as follows:
| 1.) | The date set forth in Section 1.1 of the Second Amendment for delivery of a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail (with accompanying calculations) the Total Leverage Ratio as of the four fiscal quarter period ending September 30, 2018 shall be extended to November 14, 2018. Accordingly, effective as of the date hereof, Borrowers, Agent, and Lenders agree that the text “October 15, 2018” in Section 1.1 of the Second Amendment is hereby replaced with the text “November 14, 2018”. The period from the date hereof through and including November 14, 2018 is referred to as the “Extension Period”. |
| 2.) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, the Second Amendment or any Other Document, the Borrowers shall be permitted to make voluntary prepayments of the Loans during the Extension Period, and no Prepayment Premium or Make-Whole Amount shall be due and payable in connection with any such voluntary prepayment. |
| 3.) | On or before October 31, 2018, Borrowers shall deliver to Lenders a financial model in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lenders (the “Model”). Failure to deliver the Model by October 31, 2018 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. |
Except as expressly provided herein, the Credit Agreement and each Other Document shall continue in full force and effect, and this letter agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver or amendment of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any Other Document. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly reserve all of their rights, powers, privileges and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the Other Documents and applicable law. This letter agreement shall constitute an Other Document under the terms of the Credit Agreement. The governing law, jurisdiction, service of process and waiver of jury trial provisions set forth in Sections 14.1 and 11.8 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis. This letter agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

This letter agreement may be executed and delivered via facsimile or email (in .pdf format) transmission with the same force and effect as if an original were executed, and may be executed in original counterparts each of which counterpart shall be deemed an original document but all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
