WHEREAS, pursuant to various loan, note purchase and/or security agreements between Bank and Customer (the “Bank Credit Agreement”), the Customer has granted to Bank a security interest in and lien upon all of the property of the Customer and the products and proceeds thereof (the “Bank Collateral”).
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 11,2015 (the “RCA Purchase Agreement”), RCA has agreed to provide certain financial accommodations to the Customer and to purchase certain specific account receivables from Customer.

WHEREAS, in connection with the RCA Purchase Agreement, the Customer has granted to RCA, only in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental authority determines that RCA did not purchase such Specified Accounts Receivable from the Customer, a security interest in and lien upon such Specified Accounts Receivables.
WHEREAS, in order to induce (a) RCA to enter into the RCA Purchase Agreement with the Customer and (b) Bank to enter into this Agreement, each of RCA and the Bank requires that each party hereto (including Customer) enter into this Agreement to, among other things (1) amend the RCA Purchase Agreement and (2) confirm the respective rights of RCA and Bank with respect to the Specified Account Receivables and any payments arising therefrom.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants and agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
Limited Lien Release. Bank hereby agrees that, following its receipt of a fully executed copy of this Agreement, Bank conditionally releases from the Bank Collateral solely those Specified Accounts Receivable which have been sold by Customer to RCA under the RCA Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) RCA disclaims any interest of any nature whatsoever in and to any and all accounts receivable of Customer not otherwise constituting a Specified Account Receivable and (b) Bank shall maintain a security interest in and lien on all of the property of the Customer and the products and proceeds thereof, except for the Specified Accounts Receivable. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental authority determines that RCA did not purchase any Specified Accounts Receivable from the Customer, Bank agrees that RCA shall have a security interest in and lien upon such Specified Accounts Receivables and that the Bank shall have no security interest in and lien upon such Specified Accounts Receivables.
2.
No Default. Bank hereby agrees that execution of the RCA Purchase Agreement by the Customer, the Customer’s assignment to RCA of the right to receive payments in respect of the Specified Accounts Receivable and the sale of the Specified Accounts Receivable by the Customer to RCA

pursuant to the RCA Purchase Agreement shall not constitute an event of default under the Bank Credit Agreement or, if any of the foregoing do constitute such an event of default, such event of default shall be waived by Bank.
3.
Amendment to RCA Purchase Agreement. Each of RCA and Customer acknowledges that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the RCA Purchase Agreement, the RCA Purchase Agreement is amended such that: (a) the term “Account Debtor” under the RCA Purchase Agreement shall be limited solely and exclusively to the Transportation Security Administration and accordingly Customer shall not sell to RCA and RCA shall not purchase from Customer any accounts receivable from an account debtor other than the Transpiration Security Administration, (b) the terms “Eligible Receivables” and “Purchased Receivable” shall only include those accounts receivable with respect to which the Transportation Security Administration is the account debtor and (c) RCA shall have no interest (including, without limitation, a security interest or lien) of any nature whatsoever in, and no rights of any nature whatsoever under the RCA Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 3.4 thereof) with respect to, any accounts receivable of Customer constituting Unpurchased Receivables, which such Unpurchased Receivables shall at all times constitute Bank Collateral.

Immediately upon the occurrence of the event described in the foregoing clause “(ii),” the Bank’s security interest and lien in the Specified Accounts shall automatically attach and Bank (a) shall no longer be deemed to have released from the Bank Collateral its security interest in and lien on the Specified Accounts Receivables and (ii) shall be permitted to take any and all such action as Bank shall deem necessary and appropriate to evidence Bank’s first priority perfected security interest in such Specified Accounts, including without limitation the filing of UCC financing statements. In the event the Customer has satisfied its obligations to RCA pursuant to the terms of the RCA Purchase Agreement, the Customer has terminated the RCA Purchase Agreement, RCA has received payment in full for all purchased Specified Accounts Receivable and the Customer has not satisfied its obligations to Bank under the terms of the Bank Credit Agreement, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed terminated, except as to any obligations due by RCA or Bank to the other under Section 7 hereof, and (ii) Bank shall no longer be deemed to have released from the Bank Collateral its security interest in and lien on the Specified Accounts Receivable.
5.
Forbearance.
