RESTRUCTURING TERM SHEET

Summary of Key Restructuring Terms

The Restructuring:

All holders (“PIK Holders”) of PIK Notes due March 2017 (the “Existing Notes”) to exchange their Existing Notes for (i) new senior secured notes aggregating €500 million in principal amount (the “Notes”) issued by EB Holdings II, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“HoldCo”), and (ii) cash in the amount of €50 million.

HoldCo to arrange for €50 million to be contributed to capital by Quexco Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Quexco”), or its affiliates, to fund the cash portion of the exchange. HoldCo also to arrange to have Quexco or its affiliates pledge collateral (as described below).

Expressly conditioned upon the exchange of 100% of the Existing Notes for the Notes.

Parties to execute a restructuring support agreement, with customary terms and conditions and a target signing date on or prior to September 15, 2016.

The closing of the restructuring would occur as soon as practicable thereafter.

The Notes:

Interest. Interest to be payable in cash semi-annually at 6.0% per annum. If on any interest payment date, HoldCo does not have cash on hand sufficient to make a cash interest payment in full because OpCo has been unable to pay a cash dividend to HoldCo solely because of the restricted payment covenants in its credit agreements or applicable English law, HoldCo may instead pay in kind (PIK) the amount of any such insufficiency at a rate equal to 200 basis points in excess of the applicable cash interest rate.

Maturity. 10 years

Collateral. The Notes to be secured by first priority liens on (a) HoldCo’s approximately 87% equity interests in Eco-Bat Technologies Limited, a UK company (“OpCo”), and (b) 100% equity interests in each of the Affiliated Companies (as defined below), subject to the terms specified below.

HoldCo to arrange for (a) HoldCo’s affiliate, Quexco, to pledge 100 % of the equity in each of RSR Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Management Company”), Environmental Service Insurance Company, a Vermont corporation (the “Captive Insurance Company”), and RSR Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “R&D Company”), and (b) Management Company to pledge 100% of the equity in Quemetco Metals Limited, Inc., a Texas corporation (“QML”, and together with the Management Company, the Captive Insurance Company, and the R&D Company, the “Affiliated Companies”), in each case to secure the obligations of HoldCo under the Notes. The Affiliated Companies own, directly or indirectly, certain assets (the “Eco-Bat Related Assets”) relevant to the operations of OpCo, including management and personnel arrangements, services agreements with OpCo and various permits, licenses and other intellectual property rights and interests.

The Affiliated Companies to be permitted at any time (i) to make dividends or other distributions in respect of all assets, other than the Eco-Bat Related Assets, including, without limitation, (A) the Management Company’s subsidiary that manufactures lubricants used in the drilling industry and its related intellectual property rights and interests and (B) land held for investment purposes in Dallas, Texas (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”) and (ii) to sell, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Excluded Assets to any person and distribute the sale proceeds thereof to Quexco. The Excluded Assets (and proceeds therefrom) would not in any event be available as collateral for the Notes and will remain beneficially the property of Quexco in the event of a foreclosure.

Furthermore, Quexco may at any time sell, assign or otherwise transfer the equity in any of the Affiliated Companies and/or some or all of the assets and/or liabilities of any of the Affiliated Companies, including Eco-Bat Assets, to OpCo or any wholly-owned subsidiary of OpCo, and the pledge thereon would be released.

Other Terms. The covenants, events of default and other terms regarding the Notes would be set forth in an amendment to the existing PIK Loan Agreement entered into by the requisite Holders that would address the restructuring terms and otherwise would remain in effect on substantially the same existing terms and conditions.

Miscellaneous:

Structuring. It is understood that this term sheet does not represent all of the key terms of any potential restructuring and requires continued development by the parties, as well as adjustments to reflect tax, financing, accounting, and legal considerations. Any potential restructuring would contain full, unconditional terms and conditions appropriate to a transaction of this nature.

Expenses. The parties will bear their own expenses in connection with the consideration, negotiation, execution, and consummation of any potential restructuring, except that subject to and upon the Closing, HoldCo would reimburse the PIK Holders for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Houlihan Lokey and Kirkland & Ellis in connection with the restructuring up to $8.5 million in the aggregate.

Nature of this Term Sheet. This term sheet is non-binding and may be withdrawn at any time by HoldCo in its sole and absolute discretion. No party participating in these discussions is obligated to enter into or consummate any agreement. It is expressly understood that any restructuring or modification of existing agreements will require definitive written agreements executed by the parties. No continued discussions, letters of intent, or other communications shall be deemed to create any such obligation.
