NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the Lenders, Tripwire, and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

“Adjustment Date” means November 1, 2010, and, thereafter, the first day of the first month following the date on which Tripwire delivers to the Administrative Agent the quarterly compliance certificates (and Leverage Ratio calculations) that Tripwire is required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.14(b) of this Agreement.

“Administrative Agent” means U.S. Bank, or any successor thereto appointed in accordance with Section 14.8 of this Agreement.

“Applicable Margin” has the following meaning:

(a) with reference to Loans, either (i) the amount specified in the column in the table below headed “LIBOR Rate Loan Applicable Margin,” or (ii) the amount specified in the column in the table below headed “Base Rate Loan Applicable Margin,” as applicable, that corresponds to the Leverage Ratio at the time in question;

(b) with reference to the Unused Commitment Amount, the amount specified in the column in the table below headed “Unused Commitment Amount Applicable Margin” that corresponds to the Leverage Ratio at the time in question; and

-2-

(c) with reference to the Letter of Credit Fee, the amount specified in the table below headed “Letter of Credit Applicable Margin” that corresponds to the Leverage Ratio at the time in question:


Leverage Ratio	LIBOR Rate Loan Applicable Margin	Base Rate Loan Applicable Margin	Unused Commitment Amount Applicable Margin	Letter of Credit Applicable Margin

Less than 1.00 to 1.00	1.50 percent	0.00 percent	0.25 percent	1.50 percent

If Tripwire becomes a publicly-owned company, thereafter a Change of Control means an event or series of events by which any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding any employee benefit plan of such person or group or its Subsidiaries, and any Person acting in its capacity as trustee, agent, or other fiduciary or administrator of any such plan) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3

-5-

“Closing Date” means the date on which all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement have been satisfied, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion (but in no event shall such date be later than October 31, 2010).

“Commitment” means, with respect to each Lender, the obligation of such Lender to make Loans to Tripwire pursuant to this Agreement, and to participate in L/C Obligations, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount set forth beside such Lender’s name on Schedule 3.1 to this Agreement (or in an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to which such Lender is a party), as such amount may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Agreement.

“Control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a Person, whether through the ability to exercise voting power, by contract, or otherwise.

“Debtor Relief Laws” means the United States Bankruptcy Code, and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief Laws of the United States, or other applicable jurisdictions, from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally.

“Default Interest Rate” means a rate of interest equal to 200 Basis Points per annum in excess of the rate or rates of interest in effect immediately before the occurrence of the Event of Default that resulted in the invocation of the Default Interest Rate (which will include any subsequent fluctuation in the Base Rate). When no specific rate is then in effect, the Default Interest Rate will equal the Base Rate plus (a) the Applicable Margin and (b) 200 Basis Points per annum.

“Defaulting Lender” means any Lender that, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, (a) has failed to perform any of its funding obligations under this Agreement, including in respect of any Loan or a participation in any L/C Obligation, within three Business Days of the date required to be funded by such Lender under this Agreement, (b) has notified Tripwire or the Administrative Agent that such Lender does not intend to comply with such Lender’s funding obligations, or has made a public statement to that effect with respect to its funding obligations, under this Agreement or under other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, (c) has failed, within three Business Days after request by the Administrative Agent, to confirm in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Lender will comply with its funding obligations, or (d) has, or has a direct or indirect parent company that has, (i) become the subject of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, (ii) had a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of such Lender’s business, or (iii) taken any action in furtherance of, or indicated such Lender’s consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any such proceeding; provided that a Lender shall not be a Defaulting Lender solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any equity interest in that Lender, or any direct or indirect parent company thereof, by a Governmental Authority.

ARTICLE III

THE WORKING CAPITAL CREDIT FACILITY

3.1 Loans. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, and covenants of Tripwire in this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make loans and advances of credit to Tripwire in accordance with the Lenders’ Applicable Percentages at Tripwire’s request from time to time after the Closing Date and prior to the Maturity Date (each of which loans and advances is referred to in this Agreement as a “Loan,” and all of which are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the

-23-

“Loans”). The Lenders’ Commitments and Applicable Percentages are set forth in Schedule 3.1 to this Agreement (as such schedule may be modified or amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement).

3.2 Maximum Aggregate Commitment. The maximum amount of Loans that may be outstanding to Tripwire under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time (after giving effect to all requested and outstanding Loans) is the Aggregate Commitment at the time in question minus the total amount of L/C Obligations at the time in question. If the amount outstanding with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility at any time exceeds the amount specified in the preceding sentence, Tripwire within one Business Day shall pay the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages) an amount equal to such excess (and Tripwire’s failure to make such payment shall constitute an Event of Default).

3.3 Use of Loan Proceeds. Funds advanced under the credit facility governed by this Article III of this Agreement (which credit facility is referred to in this Agreement as the “Revolving Credit Facility”) shall be used by Tripwire for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of Tripwire’s business.

3.4 The Notes. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Tripwire shall execute and deliver to the Lenders promissory notes (the “Notes”) in substantially identical form that are satisfactory to the Lenders in their reasonable discretion. Each Note shall be in the amount of the respective Lender’s Commitment. The Loans shall be evidenced by the Notes and shall be repaid by Tripwire in accordance with the Notes and the other Loan Documents.

3.5 Interest Options and Rates in Respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Loans shall bear interest at either (a) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, or (b) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, as selected by Tripwire (or determined) in accordance with this Agreement.

3.6 Revolving Nature of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is a revolving credit facility. Therefore, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Tripwire may pay, repay, and reborrow amounts under that credit facility.

3.7 The Average Unused Commitment Fee. On the first Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date, Tripwire shall pay the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages) a fee equal to the Average Unused Commitment Amount for the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or portion thereof) multiplied by the Applicable Margin per annum (pro rated to take into account the fact that this fee is paid quarterly by Tripwire). As used in this Agreement, the term “Average Unused Commitment Amount” means the average of the difference on each day in the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or, in the case of the fee payable on the Maturity Date, on each day after the end of the prior calendar quarter through the Maturity Date) between (a) the Aggregate Commitment and (b) the Total Outstandings.

-24-

3.8 Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility. On the earlier of (a) October 21, 2013, or (b) acceleration of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 12.2 of this Agreement following an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Lenders’ Commitments to extend credit to Tripwire pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility shall terminate. The earlier of the dates specified in the preceding sentence of this Agreement is referred to in this Agreement as the “Maturity Date.” On the Maturity Date, Tripwire shall be obligated to pay in full the entire balance of principal, interest, and fees owed pursuant to the Notes and the other Loan Documents.

3.9 No Borrowing Under the Revolving Credit Facility During the Pendency of an Event of Default. Tripwire shall not be entitled to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time that a Default or an Event of Default exists, unless such Default or Event of Default has been waived in writing in accordance with Section 15.1 of this Agreement.

3.10 Additional Revolving Loan Commitment. Prior to the Maturity Date and upon at least 30 days’ prior, written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice promptly shall be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each Lender), Tripwire shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to increase the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, provided that:

(a) no Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of the request for the proposed increase in the Aggregate Commitment;

(b) such increase must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 above such amount;

(d) no individual Lender’s Commitment may be increased without such Lender’s prior, written consent (which consent may be withheld by such Lender in its sole and absolute discretion);

(e) Tripwire shall execute and deliver such Notes as are necessary to reflect the increase in the Aggregate Commitment;

(f) Schedule 3.1 of this Agreement shall be amended to reflect the revised Aggregate Commitment and the revised Commitments of the Lenders; and

(g) if any Loans are outstanding at the time of the increase in the Aggregate Commitment, Tripwire will prepay (provided that any such prepayment shall be subject to Section 6.12 of this Agreement) one or more existing Loans in an amount necessary such that, after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Commitment, each Lender will hold its Applicable Percentage (based on its share of the revised Aggregate Commitment) of outstanding Loans.

-25-

Any permitted increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall apply, at the option of Tripwire, to (y) the Commitment of one or more existing Lenders, provided that any Lender whose Commitment is proposed to be increased must consent in writing to such increase (which consent may be withheld by such Lender in its sole and absolute discretion); and (z) the creation of a new Commitment from one or more Persons that is not an existing Lender, provided that any such Person must (i) be an Eligible Assignee, (ii) have a Commitment of at least $5,000,000, and (iii) become a Lender under this Agreement by execution and delivery of an appropriate joinder agreement, or of counterparts to this Agreement, in a manner acceptable to Tripwire and the Administrative Agent in their reasonable discretion.

ARTICLE IV

LETTERS OF CREDIT

4.1 Letter of Credit Commitment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”) executed by Tripwire in favor of the Issuing Bank, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, and covenants of Tripwire in this Agreement, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue standby letters of credit (each of which is referred to in this Agreement as a “Letter of Credit” and all of which are referred to in this Agreement as the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of Tripwire in such form as may be requested from time to time by Tripwire and agreed to by the Issuing Bank. Letters of Credit shall be used by Tripwire only to support contingent obligations of Tripwire (other than obligations in respect of borrowed money) in the ordinary course of Tripwire’s business. Tripwire agrees that it shall execute any documents that the Issuing Bank reasonably requires Tripwire to execute in relation to Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement.

4.2 Limit on Letters of Credit. The maximum amount of L/C Obligations (after giving effect to all requested Letters of Credit) outstanding at any time shall not exceed $4,000,000 (the “Letter of Credit Commitment”). Furthermore, the Total Outstandings (after giving effect to all requested and outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations) shall not at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitment at the time in question.

4.3 Requests for Letters of Credit. At least three Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date of any Letter of Credit, Tripwire shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank a written request for the Letter of Credit in question setting forth the maximum drawing amount of such Letter of Credit, the proposed language of the requested Letter of Credit, and such other information as the Issuing Bank shall require. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the Maturity Date. Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit under this Agreement shall constitute a representation and warranty by Tripwire that the conditions set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of this Agreement have been satisfied as of the date of such request. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the issuance of each Letter of Credit and shall furnish to any Lender such information with respect to a Letter of Credit as such Lender reasonably shall request.

4.4 Reduction in Availability. Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, the amount of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be reduced by the principal amount of the Letter of Credit (as determined in accordance with Section 4.5 of this Agreement), but no interest shall be payable on such amount until a drawing is made on such Letter of Credit.

-26-

4.5 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that by its terms, or the terms of any document related to such Letter of Credit, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit after the date in question, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such future increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time in question.

4.6 Letter of Credit Fees. Tripwire shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank equal to the Applicable Margin per annum multiplied by the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 4.5 of this Agreement. The Letter of Credit Fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. The Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable by Tripwire on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the expiration date of the Letter of Credit in question, and, thereafter, on demand by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Interest Rate.

4.7 Fronting Fees and Other Charges Payable to the Issuing Bank. Tripwire shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank for the Issuing Bank’s own account a fronting fee of one-eighth of 1 percent per annum with respect to each Letter of Credit, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. The fronting fees owed by Tripwire to the Issuing Bank shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the expiration date of the Letter of Credit in question, and, thereafter, on demand by the Issuing Bank. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 4.5 of this Agreement. In addition, Tripwire shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank for the Issuing Bank’s own account the customary presentation fees, amendment fees, processing fees, and other standard fees, costs, and charges of the Issuing Bank relating to Letters of Credit, as from time to time are in effect. Such customary and standard fees, costs, and charges are due and payable to the Issuing Bank upon demand by the Issuing Bank and are nonrefundable.

4.8 Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, or any other documents executed by Tripwire in favor of the Issuing Bank, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

-27-

4.9 Limitations on Issuance. The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(a) (i) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator by its terms shall purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or (ii) any Law applicable to the Issuing Bank, or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank, (A) shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally, or such Letter of Credit in particular, (B) shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve, or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated under this Agreement) not in effect on the Closing Date, or (C) shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost, or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to the Issuing Bank;

(b) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable generally to requests by customers or potential customers of the Issuing Bank for issuance of letters of credit;

(d) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing under the Letter of Credit; or

(e) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund its participation under Section 4.16 of this Agreement exists, or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or an Impacted Lender under this Agreement, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into satisfactory arrangements with Tripwire and either such Lender, or the other Lenders, to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Lender.

4.10 Reimbursement Obligation of Tripwire. In order to induce the Issuing Bank to issue, extend, and renew each Letter of Credit, Tripwire hereby agrees to reimburse or pay to the Issuing Bank, for the account of the Issuing Bank, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, extended, or renewed by the Issuing Bank under this Agreement as follows:

(a) on each date that any draft presented under any Letter of Credit is honored by the Issuing Bank (or the Issuing Bank otherwise makes payment with respect to any such Letter of Credit), (i) the amount paid by the Issuing Bank under or with respect to such Letter of Credit, and (ii) the amount of any Taxes, fees, charges, or other costs and expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with any payment made by the Issuing Bank under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit; and

(b) if the Maturity Date occurs prior to its scheduled date as a result of an acceleration of the Obligations following a Default or an Event of Default, an amount equal to 105 percent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding, which amount (together with all interest and other earnings on such amount) (i) shall be held by the Issuing Bank as cash collateral for all obligations of Tripwire pursuant to the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Article IV of this Agreement pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (in the Issuing Bank’s reasonable discretion), and (ii) if at any time Tripwire becomes obligated to

-28-

reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing under a Letter of Credit, such cash collateral shall be applied (to the extent required) by the Issuing Bank to reimburse the Issuing Bank with respect to the drawing in question. Upon the expiration, termination, or reduction in amount of any applicable Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall release to Tripwire (or to such other Person as may be entitled thereto) the amount of cash collateral held by the Issuing Bank with respect to such expired, terminated, or reduced Letter of Credit, to the extent that, after the release thereof, the Issuing Bank shall continue to hold cash collateral in an amount equal to 105 percent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding.

Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Bank at its head office in immediately available funds. Interest on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by Tripwire under this Section 4.10 of this Agreement at any time from the date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in this Section 4.10 of this Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise), until payment in full, shall be payable to the Issuing Bank, for the account of the Issuing Bank (or, as the case may be, for the account of the Lenders following a participation under Section 4.14 of this Agreement), on demand at the Default Interest Rate. Tripwire’s obligation to repay amounts owed in respect of Letters of Credit is referred to in this Agreement as the “Reimbursement Obligation.”

4.11 Letter of Credit Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Tripwire to reimburse the Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each Reimbursement Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense, or other right that Tripwire may have at any time against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or by such Letter of Credit (or any agreement or instrument relating to such Letter of Credit), or any unrelated transaction;

(c) any draft, demand, certificate, or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proves to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect, or any statement in any such draft, demand, certificate, or other document is untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(d) any loss or delay in the transmission or other presentation or delivery of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

-29-

(e) any payment by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that complies in all material respect with, but does not comply strictly with, the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(f) any payment made by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver, or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any payment arising in connection with any proceeding under any insolvency case or proceeding; or

(g) any other circumstance or happening, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Tripwire.

Nothing contained in this Section 4.11 of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of (i) any claims of Tripwire against the Issuing Bank arising from its gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) any remedies of Tripwire against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit.

4.12 Expiration of the Letter of Credit Commitment. The Issuing Bank’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall expire on the Maturity Date.

4.13 Letter of Credit Payments. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify Tripwire and the Administrative Agent of such notice of drawing. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Portland, Oregon, time) on the date of any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, Tripwire shall reimburse the Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and thereby satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation with respect to such drawing. If any Reimbursement Obligation shall remain outstanding at 11:00 a.m. (Portland, Oregon, time) on the Business Day such Reimbursement Obligation is payable by Tripwire and by such time on such Business Day the Administrative Agent has not received either (a) a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion delivered pursuant to Section 5.13 of this Agreement requesting that a Loan be made pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement on such date in an amount at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of such unpaid Reimbursement Obligation (which unpaid amount is referred to in this Agreement as the “Unreimbursed Amount”), or (b) any other notice indicating Tripwire’s intent to repay such Unreimbursed Amount with funds obtained from other sources, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have received a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion from Tripwire pursuant to Section 5.13 of this Agreement requesting that a Base Rate Loan be made pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement on the date such Unreimbursed Amount is due in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, and the procedures set forth in Section 5.16 of this Agreement shall be followed in making such Base Rate Loan. A Loan of the type described in the preceding sentence shall be made notwithstanding Tripwire’s failure to satisfy all of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 of this Agreement.

-30-

4.14 Participations in Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. If it is legally impossible or impracticable (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) for Tripwire to obtain a Loan under the circumstances described in Section 4.13 above (whether due to a termination or expiration of the Revolving Credit Facility, the bankruptcy of Tripwire, or otherwise), the Administrative Agent promptly shall notify the Issuing Bank and each Lender of that fact. Upon such notice (but without any further action), the Issuing Bank hereby agrees to grant to each Lender, and each Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Issuing Bank, a participation in each Unreimbursed Amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount in question.

4.15 Payments by the Lenders Pursuant to Participations in Letters of Credit. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided in Section 4.14 of this Agreement, immediately to pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each Unreimbursed Amount. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 4.14 of this Agreement is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each payment made to purchase such a participation shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding, or reduction. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 4.15 of this Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in the same manner as provided in Section 5.16 of this Agreement and the Administrative Agent promptly shall pay to the Issuing Bank any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders.

4.16 Procedure Following Purchase of Participations in an Unreimbursed Amount. The Administrative Agent shall notify Tripwire of any participations in any Unreimbursed Amounts acquired pursuant to Section 4.15 of this Agreement. Thereafter, payments by Tripwire in respect of an Unreimbursed Amount shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Issuing Bank. Any amounts received by the Issuing Bank in respect of an Unreimbursed Amount after receipt by the Issuing Bank of the proceeds of a sale of participations in such Unreimbursed Amount shall be remitted promptly to the Administrative Agent. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be remitted promptly by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that have made their payments pursuant to Section 4.15 of this Agreement and to the Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear.

4.17 Effect of Failure of a Lender to Pay its Participation in an Unreimbursed Amount. If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the provisions of Sections 4.13 through 4.15 of this Agreement by the time specified in Sections 4.13 and 4.15 of this Agreement, as applicable, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate, and (b) a rate determined by the Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 4.17 of this Agreement shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

-31-

4.18 Consequence of Tripwire’s Failure to Repay a Reimbursement Obligation. If Tripwire fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation, and that obligation cannot be repaid in accordance with the terms of Section 4.13 of this Agreement and becomes the subject of participations purchased by the Lenders in accordance with Sections 4.14 and 4.15 of this Agreement, an Event of Default shall occur, unless Tripwire repays the Unreimbursed Amount in question on the Business Day on which the Lenders obtain the participations in such Unreimbursed Amount (or, if such participations are obtained on a day that is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day thereafter). Tripwire’s failure to repay a Reimbursement Obligation that results in an Unreimbursed Amount that is repaid with a Loan in accordance with Section 4.13 of this Agreement shall not constitute an Event of Default. However, Tripwire acknowledges and agrees that following Tripwire’s failure to repay a Reimbursement Obligation in the manner required by the terms of Section 4.10 and Section 4.13 of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank, without prior, written notice to Tripwire, may refuse in the Issuing Bank’s sole and absolute discretion to issue additional Letters of Credit for the account of Tripwire.

4.19 Tripwire’s Duty to Review Letters of Credit. Tripwire promptly shall examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment to such Letter of Credit that is delivered to Tripwire by the Issuing Bank and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Tripwire’s instructions, or any other claimed irregularity in a Letter of Credit (or an amendment thereof), Tripwire promptly shall notify the Issuing Bank of such claimed noncompliance or irregularity. Tripwire shall be deemed to have waived any claim against the Issuing Bank and its correspondents that a Letter of Credit does not comply with Tripwire’s instructions, or is irregular in any respect, unless Tripwire promptly notifies the Issuing Bank of such noncompliance or irregularity in accordance with the preceding sentence, provided, however, that no such waiver shall occur with respect to any noncompliance or irregularity that results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank if such noncompliance or irregularity could not reasonably have been detected promptly by Tripwire.

4.20 No Issuance of Letters of Credit During Pendency of an Event of Default. Tripwire shall not be entitled to obtain Letters of Credit at any time that a Default or an Event of Default exists.

4.21 Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and Tripwire when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

ARTICLE V

TERMS APPLICABLE TO ALL LOANS

5.1 Payments of Interest. The principal amount of each Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, which rate shall change contemporaneously with any change in the Base Rate. Tripwire shall pay the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages) interest accrued on Base Rate Loans monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month. Except as specified in the following sentence, Tripwire shall pay the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable

-32-

Percentages) interest accrued on the principal amount of LIBOR Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period for each LIBOR Rate Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tripwire selects an Interest Period of six months with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, Tripwire shall pay the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages) interest accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan on the last day of the third month of such Interest Period and on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan.

5.2 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and all fees payable by Tripwire under this Agreement shall be computed daily on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days for which due. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan for the day on which the Loan is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. If the due date for any payment of the principal amount of any Loan is extended by operation of law, interest shall be payable with respect to such Loan for such extended time. If any payment required by this Agreement becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (subject to the definition of the term Interest Period), and such extension shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

5.3 Determination of Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Tripwire and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the LIBOR Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify Tripwire and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

5.4 Default Interest Rate. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance of such Event of Default, interest shall accrue (and shall be payable by Tripwire) on the principal balance outstanding under the Loans at the Default Interest Rate (a) automatically if the Event of Default occurred under Section 12.1(l) of this Agreement, or (b) upon the occurrence of another Event of Default, at the request of the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 12.2 of this Agreement.

5.5 Fees. Tripwire shall pay the following fees to the Administrative Agent (either for the Administrative Agent’s own account, or for distribution to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, in accordance with the agreement of the parties):

(a) the unused commitment fees, as specified in Section 3.7 of this Agreement;

(b) the Letter of Credit Fees, as specified in Section 4.6 of this Agreement, and the fronting fees and other fees and charges owed pursuant to Section 4.7 of this Agreement; and

(c) an administrative fee owed to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Agent Fee Letter, which shall be due and payable in equal quarterly installments on October 1, 2010, and the first Business Day of each calendar quarter thereafter through the Maturity Date, in accordance with Section 14.15 of this Agreement.

-33-

5.6 Limitations on Amounts and Number of LIBOR Rate Loans. No LIBOR Rate Loan shall be requested or made for less than a minimum of $1,000,000 in principal amount and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of such minimum amount. No Base Rate loan shall be requested or made for less than a minimum of $500,000 in principal amount and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such minimum amount. Tripwire shall not be entitled to have more than 10 LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any time.

5.7 Conversion of Loans. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Tripwire may convert all or any part (in the minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of such minimum amount) of any outstanding Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type on any Business Day (which, in the case of a conversion of an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan shall be the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan). Tripwire shall give the Administrative Agent prior notice of each such conversion (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) in accordance with Section 5.13 of this Agreement.

5.8 Voluntary Prepayments. Tripwire may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided that (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Portland, Oregon, time (i) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans, (b) any prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (c) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount of the Loan then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type of Loan or Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent promptly shall notify each Lender of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each such notice and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Tripwire, Tripwire shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified in such notice. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 6.12 of this Agreement. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

5.9 Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the Administrative Agent shall notify Tripwire that the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitment at the time in question, then within one Business Day of Tripwire’s receipt of such notice, Tripwire shall prepay Loans, together with accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.12 of this Agreement as a result of such prepayment being made on such date (and, if necessary after all Loans have been prepaid, shall cash collateralize the L/C Obligations), so that, immediately following such prepayment (or cash collateralization, if applicable), Tripwire shall be in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement that limit the Total Outstandings.

-34-

5.10 Mandatory Termination of Commitments. All Commitments and the Letter of Credit Commitment shall terminate on the Maturity Date. Upon termination of the commitments in respect of any of the credit facilities extended under this Agreement, the Lenders (or the Issuing Bank, as applicable) shall have no further obligation to extend credit to (or for the account of) Tripwire and any unutilized portion of any credit commitment no longer shall be available to (or for the account of ) Tripwire.

5.11 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments. Upon notice to the Administrative Agent, Tripwire may terminate the Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Commitments, subject to the following conditions:

(a) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Portland, Oregon time five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction of the Commitments;

(b) any partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(c) Tripwire shall not terminate the Commitments if, after giving effect to such termination and to any concurrent prepayments of the Obligations under this Agreement, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments;

(d) Tripwire shall not reduce the Commitments to an amount that, after giving effect to such reduction and to any concurrent prepayments of the Obligations under this Agreement, would be less than the Total Outstandings; and

(e) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Commitment exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Commitment automatically shall be reduced by the amount of such excess.

The Administrative Agent promptly shall notify the Lenders of any notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments provided by Tripwire pursuant to this Section 5.11 of this Agreement. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to each Lender’s Applicable Percentage.

5.12 The Lenders’ Note Records. Tripwire irrevocably authorizes each of the Lenders to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Funding Date of any Loan, or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal or interest on the Notes, an appropriate notation in such Lender’s records reflecting (as the case may be) the making of such Loan or the receipt of such payment. The amounts of the Loans set forth in the records of the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid by Tripwire to the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Lender to record (or any error in so recording) the amount of any Loan or payment in the Lender’s records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Tripwire under this Agreement, or under any Note, to make payments of principal of or interest on any Note, or other Loan Document, when due.

-35-

5.13 Notice of Borrowing or Conversion of Loans. Whenever Tripwire desires to obtain or continue a Loan under this Agreement, or to convert an outstanding Loan into a Loan of another type, Tripwire shall give the Administrative Agent a written Notice of Borrowing or Conversion (or a telephonic notice promptly confirmed by a written Notice of Borrowing or Conversion), which notice shall be irrevocable and must be received no later than (a) 11:00 a.m. Portland, Oregon, time on the Business Day on which the requested Loan is to be made as or converted to a Base Rate Loan, and (b) 11:00 a.m. Portland, Oregon time on the date that is two Business Days before the day on which the requested Loan is to be made, continued as, or converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan. Such Notice of Borrowing or Conversion shall specify (x) the effective date and amount of each Loan (or portion of such Loan) requested to be made, continued, or converted, (y) the interest rate option requested to be applicable to such Loan, and (z) the duration of the applicable Interest Period, if any (subject to the provisions of the definition of the term Interest Period). If any Notice of Borrowing or Conversion fails to specify the interest rate option to be applicable to the requested Loan, then Tripwire shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan. If no Interest Period is specified in a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion with respect to a requested LIBOR Rate Loan, then Tripwire shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration, and the Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Tripwire of such selection. If the Administrative Agent receives a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion after the time specified in the first sentence of this Section 5.13 of this Agreement, such Notice of Borrowing or Conversion shall be effective as of the next Business Day. If the Administrative Agent does not receive an effective Notice of Borrowing or Conversion with respect to an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, or if, when such Notice of Borrowing or Conversion must be given prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable to an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, Tripwire shall have failed to satisfy any of the conditions specified above, Tripwire shall be deemed to have elected to convert such outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan in whole into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loan in question. If the written confirmation of any telephonic notification differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control, absent manifest error.

5.14 No LIBOR Rate Loans When Default Exists. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement, and without limiting any other rights of any Lender, if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) Tripwire may not select a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) Tripwire may not convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, and (c) no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan for a new Interest Period. If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to a Base Rate Loan at the expiration of the applicable Interest Period.

5.15 Funding of Loans. Loans shall be made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend under this Agreement (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

5.16 Funding Notifications. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of (a) any requested Loan, (b) the Funding Date of such Loan, and (c) the amount of each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Loan. If such notice is given by the close of the Administrative Agent’s business on the Business Day on which the Administrative Agent

-36-

receives an effective Notice of Borrowing or Conversion as provided in Section 5.13 of this Agreement, each Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (Portland, Oregon, time) on the proposed Funding Date of such Loan, shall make available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Portland, Oregon, office, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of the requested Loan. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall make available to Tripwire the aggregate amount of such Loan by crediting the proceeds of the Loan to the operating checking account maintained by Tripwire with the Administrative Agent.

5.17 Method of Payments. All payments of principal of and interest by Tripwire in respect of Loans and any other amounts due by Tripwire to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made by Tripwire to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders, in accordance with their Applicable Percentages) at the Administrative Agent’s designated office (or at such other location that the Administrative Agent from time to time may designate), in each case in immediately available funds. All payments by Tripwire under this Agreement and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be free and clear of and without deduction of any kind (including deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, except as specified in Section 6.1 of this Agreement). Tripwire hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to debit Tripwire’s operating checking account at U.S. Bank (or such other account that Tripwire maintains at U.S. Bank as its primary operating account) to make the payments owed by Tripwire pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to debit the above-referenced account to collect any payment owed by Tripwire pursuant to this Agreement and the Administrative Agent’s failure to do so shall not relieve Tripwire of Tripwire’s obligation to make the payment in question. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after noon on any day will be deemed to have been made on the next following Business Day and interest will accrue to such following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall make reasonable efforts to remit by wire transfer each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments and recoveries on the same Business Day if received by the Administrative Agent by noon (Portland, Oregon, time), or on the next Business Day if received after noon (Portland, Oregon, time) (or on a day other than a Business Day).

5.18 Funding by the Lenders; Presumption by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any Loan requested by Tripwire available to Tripwire under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall have received the amount of such Loan from the Lenders as set forth in Section 5.16 of this Agreement, provided, however, that unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a proposed Funding Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the requested Loan, the Administrative Agent may (but is not required to) assume that such Lender has made such share available on such Funding Date in accordance with Section 5.16 of this Agreement and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Tripwire a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender in fact has not made its Applicable Percentage of the Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and Tripwire severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent immediately on demand such corresponding amount with interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Tripwire to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (a) in

-37-

the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (b) in the case of a payment to be made by Tripwire, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans at the time in question. If Tripwire and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent promptly shall remit to Tripwire the amount of such interest paid by Tripwire for such period. If such Lender pays its Applicable Percentage of the Loan in question to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by Tripwire shall be without prejudice to any claim that Tripwire may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make its Applicable Percentage of any Loan.

5.19 Payments by Tripwire; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Tripwire prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement that Tripwire will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Tripwire has made such payment on such date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Tripwire has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent immediately on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, with interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate, and (b) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

5.20 Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article V of this Agreement, and such funds are not made available to Tripwire by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable credit extension set forth in Article II of this Agreement are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

5.21 Funding Source. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (a) obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner, or (b) constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

5.22 Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations (or Unreimbursed Amounts, as applicable), interest, and fees then due under this Agreement, such funds so received and available shall be applied (a) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due under this Agreement, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (b) second, toward payment of principal of Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (or Unreimbursed Amounts, as

-38-

applicable) then due under this Agreement, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (or Unreimbursed Amounts, as applicable) then due to such parties.

5.23 Defaulting Lender. The following provisions of this Agreement relate to any Defaulting Lender:

(a) In addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Administrative Agent or Tripwire under this Agreement or applicable law, if at any time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s right to collect fees under Section 3.7 of this Agreement, to collect Letter of Credit Fees, or to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to, or to direct any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent, or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Required Lenders, shall be suspended while such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, that the Commitments of such Lender may not be increased and the period of such Commitments may not be extended without such Lender’s consent. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent or Tripwire may have under the immediately preceding provisions, or otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due, until the date on which the payment is made, at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or set off and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, until such defaulted payment and related interest has been paid in full and such default no longer exists, and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held uninvested by the Administrative Agent and either applied against the purchase price of such Loans under the following subsection, or paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the default of such Defaulting Lender being cured.

(b) Any Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire all of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire such proportion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment on a pro rata basis. Upon any such purchase, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in its Loans and its rights under this Agreement (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender promptly shall execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser thereof, subject to and in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 13.1 of this Agreement, including an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in

-39-

form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans and L/C Obligations outstanding and owed by Tripwire to the Defaulting Lender. The purchaser shall pay to the Defaulting Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such purchase the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on the Loans and L/C Obligations of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (it being understood that such accrued and unpaid interest and fees may be paid pro rata to the purchasing Lender and the Defaulting Lender by the Administrative Agent at a subsequent date upon receipt of payment of such amounts from Tripwire). Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) of this Section 5.23 of this Agreement. The Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to the Defaulting Lender by Tripwire under the Loan Documents that accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Lender, to the extent the same are received by the Administrative Agent from or on behalf of Tripwire. There shall be no recourse against any Lender or the Administrative Agent for the payment of such sums, except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the Loans.

(c) If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Issuing Bank may, by notice to such Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Defaulting Lender to (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, cash collateral in an amount (the “Reserve Amount”) equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage (prior to any reduction of the amount of such Applicable Percentage as provided in Section 5.23(d) below) of the undrawn principal amount of all Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank for the account of Tripwire, or (ii) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (in the Issuing Bank’s reasonable discretion) to assure that such Defaulting Lender will reimburse the Issuing Bank for its Applicable Percentage of the amount of any drawing on a Letter of Credit. If any Defaulting Lender fails to provide cash collateral, or to make other arrangements as required by the first sentence of this Section 5.23(c) of this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent in its discretion may retain as cash collateral all amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement until the Administrative Agent has retained an amount equal to the Reserve Amount. Any such cash collateral (i) shall be held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (in the Issuing Bank’s reasonable discretion) and the Administrative Agent (in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion), and (ii) if at any time such Defaulting Lender becomes obligated to make a Loan to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any unpaid drawing under a Letter of Credit, shall be applied (to the extent required) by the Administrative Agent to make such Loan. Upon the expiration, termination, or reduction in amount of any applicable Letter of Credit (or upon termination of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment), the Administrative Agent shall release to such Defaulting Lender (or to such other Person as may be entitled thereto) any cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent in excess of the Reserve Amount that, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, is not needed to reimburse the Issuing Bank with respect to any drawing on such Letter of Credit. If any Defaulting Lender fails to provide cash collateral, or to make other arrangements as required by this Section 5.23(c) of this

-40-

Agreement, then Tripwire promptly (and in any event within one Business Day of a demand from the Administrative Agent) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, cash collateral in the Reserve Amount (pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Tripwire in their reasonable discretion).

(d) At any time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, at the Administrative Agent’s option, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, but without prejudice to Tripwire’s rights under Section 6.15 of this Agreement, such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced to the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Loans, plus the amount of cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 5.23(c) of this Agreement, but such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not be changed. In addition, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender at the time any payment is to be made by the Lenders to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 4.15 of this Agreement, no Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender shall be obligated to make a payment to the Issuing Bank that would cause the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (without giving effect to any Commitment reduction pursuant to the foregoing provisions) of the aggregate maximum amount drawn, or available to be drawn, under outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed such Lender’s Commitment (or, if all of the Commitments have terminated, such Lender’s Commitment at the time of such termination, adjusted for any assignments by or to such Lender).

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, until the breach, event, or occurrence that caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement has been cured or remedied and such Lender no longer is a Defaulting Lender, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, at the Administrative Agent’s option, be applied to the Loans of the other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall be applied to the Loans of the other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Loans that such Defaulting Lender is obligated to fund under this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that Tripwire shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause and the amount of the Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Loans that such Defaulting Lender is obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement.

5.24 Defaulting Lender Cure. If Tripwire, the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Bank agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties to this Agreement, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth in such notice, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders, or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in

-41-

accordance with their Applicable Percentages, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Tripwire while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and, provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change under this Agreement in the status of a Lender from a Defaulting Lender to a Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party under this Agreement arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE VI

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION, AND ILLEGALITY

6.1 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by Tripwire to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings, or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings, or similar charges and liabilities being referred to in this Agreement as “Indemnified Taxes”). In addition, Tripwire agrees to pay any and all present and future Other Taxes. If Tripwire shall be required by any Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6.1 of this Agreement), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made and such additional amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received if such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had not be imposed, (b) Tripwire shall make such deductions, (c) Tripwire shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (d) within 30 days after the date of such payment, Tripwire shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

6.2 Indemnity by Tripwire with Respect to Certain Taxes. Tripwire shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Section 6.1 of this Agreement) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Tripwire by a Lender or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

-42-

6.3 Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which Tripwire is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Document, shall deliver to Tripwire (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Tripwire or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding, or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Tripwire or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law, or reasonably requested by Tripwire or the Administrative Agent, as will enable Tripwire or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Tripwire is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Tripwire and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Tripwire or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(a) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

(b) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(c) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (i) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(a) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of Tripwire within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(b) of the Code, or (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(c) of the Code, and (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(d) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Tripwire to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

6.4 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender, or the Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Tripwire, or with respect to which Tripwire has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement, such Person shall pay to Tripwire an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of additional amounts paid, or indemnity payments made, by Tripwire under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 of

this Agreement with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided, however, that Tripwire, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid to Tripwire (plus any penalties, interest, or the other changes imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or the Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 6.4 of this Agreement shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its tax status or situation that it deems confidential) to Tripwire or any other Person.

6.5 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain, or fund LIBOR Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London Interbank Eurodollar market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Tripwire through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and Tripwire that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists. Upon receipt of such notice, Tripwire shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Tripwire also shall pay the Lender accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and any amount owed pursuant to Section 6.12 of this Agreement.

6.6 Inability to Determine Rates. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent reasonably shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Tripwire) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period;

(b) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London Interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loan; or

(c) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate determined (or to be determined) for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as reasonably determined and conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period;

-44-

the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Tripwire and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Tripwire may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Conversion. Furthermore, following the notice described in the first sentence of this Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and unless and until such notice is revoked as provided under this Agreement, each then-outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the then-applicable Interest Period.

6.7 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

(b) impose on any Lender, the Issuing Bank, or the London Interbank Eurodollar market any other condition, cost, or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement (whether of principal, interest, or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, Tripwire will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. The provisions of this Section 6.7 of this Agreement shall not apply to the imposition of Taxes resulting from a Change in Law, which instead shall be governed by Section 6.1 of this Agreement.

6.8 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank, or any lending office of such Lender, or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital, or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank, or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking

-45-

into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Tripwire shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, for any such reduction suffered.

6.9 Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 6.7 or 6.8 of this Agreement and delivered to Tripwire shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Tripwire shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt of such certificate.

6.10 Delay in Requests. Any failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to Sections 6.7 or 6.8 of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided, however, that Tripwire shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Sections 6.7 or 6.8 of this Agreement for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies Tripwire of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation for such increased costs or reductions (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect of such Change in Law).

6.11 Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. Except as specified in the last sentence of this Section 6.11 of this Agreement, Tripwire shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided Tripwire shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days’ prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 15 days from the receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tripwire shall not be required to pay additional interest to the Lenders in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 6.11 of this Agreement to the extent that such interest already has been included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate and has been paid to the Lenders.

6.12 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, Tripwire promptly shall compensate such Lender for (and shall hold such Lender harmless from) any loss, cost, or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any of the following:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment, or prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

-46-

(b) any failure by Tripwire (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue, or convert a LIBOR Rate Loan on the date, or in the amount, specified in a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion given (or deemed to have been given) by Tripwire; or

(c) any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such loan as a result of a request by Tripwire pursuant to Section 6.15 of this Agreement to replace a Lender;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by such Lender to maintain such Loan, or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Tripwire also shall pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Tripwire to the Lenders under this Section 6.12 of this Agreement, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Rate Loan made by such Lender at the LIBOR Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London Interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

6.13 Request for Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any amounts payable under Section 6.12 of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that no Lender shall be entitled to compensation for any increased costs or reductions incurred or suffered with respect to any date, unless the Lender shall have notified Tripwire not more than 90 days after the later of (a) such date, and (b) the date on which such Lender shall have become aware of such costs or reductions.

6.14 Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 6.7 of this Agreement, or requires Tripwire to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 6.5 of this Agreement, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to (a) designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans under this Agreement, or (b) assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches, or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (y) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.7 of this Agreement, as the case may be, in the future, or would eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 6.5 of this Agreement, and (z) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Tripwire hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

-47-

6.15 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 6.7 of this Agreement, (b) any Lender gives notice under Section 6.5 of this Agreement, (c) Tripwire is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement, (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (e) any Lender is an Impacted Lender and, as a result thereof, the Issuing Bank has declined to issue a Letter of Credit, or (f) any Lender does not agree to any consent, waiver, or amendment requiring approval of all Lenders and the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver, or amendment, then Tripwire may, at Tripwire’s sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.1 of this Agreement), all of its interests, rights, and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations, provided that:

(t) Tripwire shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 13.1(e) of this Agreement;

(u) such assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees, and all other amounts payable to such assigning Lender under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 6.12 of this Agreement) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees), or Tripwire (in the case of all other amounts);

(v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 6.7 of this Agreement, or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(w) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law;

(x) no Default of Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement;

(y) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that Tripwire, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender; and

(z) in the case of a Lender that has failed or refused to consent to any amendment, waiver, or modification of any provision of this Agreement, the replacement Lender shall consent at the time of such assignment to each matter in respect of which the replaced Lender failed or refused to consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior to such assignment or delegation, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Tripwire to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

6.16 Survival of Obligations. Tripwire’s obligations under this Article VI of this Agreement shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of the Obligations.

-48-

The Security Agreement shall be in form and content satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

7.2 Pledge Agreement From Tripwire.

ARTICLE VIII

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Tripwire represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:

8.1 Existence and Power of Tripwire. Tripwire is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, and is qualified to do business in Oregon and, except where the failure to do so is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, each other jurisdiction where the conduct of Tripwire’s business, or the ownership of its properties, requires such qualification. Furthermore, Tripwire has full power, authority, and legal right to carry on Tripwire’s business as presently conducted, to own and operate its properties and assets, and to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents.

8.2 Authorization. The execution, delivery, and performance by Tripwire of this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents (a) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Tripwire, (b) do not require any shareholder approval, or the approval or consent of any trustee or the holders of any Indebtedness of Tripwire, other than approvals or consents, if any, that already have been obtained by Tripwire, (c) do not contravene any Law or order binding on Tripwire, or Tripwire’s organizational documents, and (d) do not contravene the provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract, or other agreement or instrument to which Tripwire is a party, or by which Tripwire, or any of Tripwire’s properties, may be bound or affected.

8.3 Valid Obligations. The Loan Documents and all of their respective terms and provisions are the legal, valid, and binding obligations of Tripwire, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and except as the remedy of specific performance or of injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. Upon the making of the Loans, the Security Documents shall have created in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Bank legal, valid, and binding security interests and liens in the Collateral enforceable in accordance with their terms, and such security interests and liens are fully perfected, first priority security interests, subject only to Permitted Liens.

8.4 Consents or Approvals. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents, and the transactions contemplated thereby, do not require any approval or consent of, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority, any other agency or authority, or any other Person, other than approvals or consents, if any, that already have been obtained by Tripwire.

8.5 Financial Condition of Tripwire. The audited financial statement (the “Initial Financial Statement”) of Tripwire dated as of December 31, 2009, that Tripwire delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date presents fairly in all material respects Tripwire’s financial condition and results of operations for the period covered by the Initial

-50-

Financial Statement. Since the date of the Initial Financial Statement, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition or operations of Tripwire, except such changes (if any) that have been disclosed to the Lenders in writing (including interim financial statements provided by Tripwire since the delivery of the Initial Financial Statement to the Lenders).

8.6 Status of Title to Properties and Liens. Tripwire has good and marketable title to all of the Collateral. The Collateral is not subject to any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.

8.7 Status of Taxes. Tripwire has filed all tax returns and reports required to be filed by Tripwire and has paid all Taxes that are due and payable, except where the failure to file such returns and reports, or to pay such Taxes, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges and accruals on the books of Tripwire in respect of Taxes for all fiscal periods to date are accurate in all material respects. Taxes not yet due have been provided for as a reserve on the books of Tripwire. There are no claims or assessments against Tripwire by any Governmental Authority with respect to any Taxes, except those (if any) (a) disclosed to the Lenders in writing, and (b) that individually, or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.8 Status of Compliance With Laws. Tripwire is in compliance in all material respects with all Laws applicable to Tripwire, or to Tripwire’s operations or property (including, but not limited to, Environmental Laws and ERISA), except (a) any thereof disclosed in writing to the Lenders whose validity is being contested by Tripwire in good faith by appropriate proceedings, upon stay of execution of the enforcement thereof; or (b) where noncompliance with such Laws would not be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.9 Existing Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, Tripwire does not have any Subsidiaries other than the entities listed in Schedule 8.9 to this Agreement.

8.10 Other Agreements. Tripwire is not in material breach of, or default under, any agreement to which Tripwire is a party, or that is binding on Tripwire or any of Tripwire’s assets, that reasonably could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.11 Litigation. Other than as set forth in Schedule 8.11 to this Agreement, there is no litigation, arbitration, proceeding, or investigation pending, or, to the knowledge of Tripwire, threatened against Tripwire that, if adversely determined, reasonably could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.12 Investment Company Act. Tripwire is not subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

8.13 Compliance. Tripwire has all necessary permits, approvals, authorizations, consents, licenses, franchises, registrations, and other rights and privileges (including patents, trademarks, trade names, and copyrights) to allow Tripwire to own and operate Tripwire’s business without any violation of Laws or the rights of others, except to the extent that any such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Tripwire is duly authorized, qualified, licensed under, and in compliance with all applicable Laws, except to the extent that any such failure to be so authorized, qualified, licensed under, or in compliance with any such Law could not reasonably be expected to have a Material

-51-

Adverse Effect. Furthermore, no event has occurred that permits, or after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit, the revocation or termination of any such license, franchise, or other right, or that affects the rights of Tripwire thereunder, that would be likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

8.14 Labor Relations. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against Tripwire or, to the best knowledge of Tripwire, threatened, before the National Labor Relations Board, and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so pending against Tripwire or, to the best knowledge of Tripwire, threatened, except for such complaints, grievances, and arbitration proceedings that, if adversely decided, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown, or stoppage pending against Tripwire or, to the best knowledge of Tripwire, threatened against Tripwire, except for any such strike, labor dispute, slowdown, or stoppage that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.15 Federal Reserve Regulations. Tripwire is not engaged principally or as one of its important activities in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock (within the meaning of Federal Reserve Regulation U), and no part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used by Tripwire to purchase or carry any such margin stock (or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock), or for any other purpose that violates the applicable provisions of any Federal Reserve Regulation. If requested to do so by the Administrative Agent, Tripwire promptly will furnish to the Administrative Agent a statement conforming with the requirements of Regulation U.

8.16 Solvency. After giving effect to the Loans and the Letters of Credit, and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit, (a) the assets of Tripwire, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities (whether subordinated, unliquidated, unmatured, contingent, or otherwise); (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of Tripwire will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable amount of Tripwire’s debts and other liabilities (whether subordinated, unliquidated, unmatured, contingent, or otherwise), as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and mature; (c) Tripwire will be able to pay (and does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay) Tripwire’s debts and liabilities (whether subordinated, unliquidated, unmatured, contingent, or otherwise), as such debts and liabilities become absolute and mature; and (d) Tripwire will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which Tripwire is engaged, as such business now is conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

8.17 Existing Shareholders. As of the Closing Date, the Persons listed in Schedule 8.17 to this Agreement (the “Existing Shareholders”) are the owners of the Capital Stock of Tripwire. The percentage of the Capital Stock of Tripwire owned by each of the Existing Shareholders as of the Closing Date is specified in the column in Schedule 8.17 headed “Ownership Percentage.”

8.18 Continuing Representations and Warranties. Tripwire hereby acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties of Tripwire in this Article VIII of this Agreement are continuing representations and warranties and that each request for a Loan or a Letter of Credit by Tripwire under this Agreement constitutes a reaffirmation by Tripwire that such representations and warranties are accurate as of the date of the Loan or the Letter of Credit requested by Tripwire.

ARTICLE IX

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Until Tripwire has paid the Obligations in full and the Commitments have terminated, Tripwire agrees to all of the following, unless the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 15.1 of this Agreement) otherwise shall consent in writing (which consent shall not be withheld without reasonable cause):

9.1 Use of Loan Proceeds and Letters of Credit. Tripwire shall use proceeds of the Loans and shall obtain Letters of Credit only for purposes permitted by this Agreement.

9.3 Preservation of Tripwire’s Corporate Existence. Tripwire shall preserve and maintain Tripwire’s corporate existence, rights, franchises, and privileges in Delaware and shall qualify and remain qualified as a foreign organization in Oregon and each other jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary or advisable in view of the business and operations of Tripwire, or the ownership of its properties, unless the failure to do so is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.4 Keeping Books and Records. Tripwire shall keep adequate records and books of account in which complete entries shall be made, in accordance with GAAP, reflecting all financial transactions of Tripwire, unless the failure to do so is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.5 Maintenance of Property. Tripwire shall maintain and preserve all of its material properties in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall from time to time make all needed repairs, renewals, or replacements consistent with industry standards, unless the failure to do so is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.6 Permits and Licenses. Tripwire shall possess all permits, contracts, licenses, trademarks, trade names, patents, copyrights, and other authorizations and matters necessary to enable Tripwire to conduct its business in the ordinary course, except those the absence of which would not be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.7 Payment of Taxes. Tripwire shall pay all Taxes, assessments, or governmental charges on or against Tripwire (or Tripwire’s income or properties) at or prior to the time when they become delinquent, except for any Tax, assessment, or charge that (a) is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been established and are being maintained by Tripwire in accordance with GAAP, or (b) if not so paid, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

-53-

9.8 Other Obligations. Tripwire shall pay and discharge before the same shall become delinquent all material Indebtedness, and other material obligations for which Tripwire is liable, or to which Tripwire’s income or property is subject, and all material claims for labor and materials or supplies that, if unpaid, might become by Law a Lien upon all or any portion of the Collateral, or reasonably could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.9 Conducting Business. Tripwire shall conduct its business and affairs in the ordinary course of business without material change in nature or emphasis from business operations currently conducted.

9.10 Maintenance of Good Title to Properties; Absence of Liens. Tripwire shall have good and marketable title to all of its material assets and properties (except such properties, assets, or rights as have been disposed of in the ordinary course of business since the date of this Agreement, or which are, in the aggregate, not material to the business or financial condition of Tripwire), free from all Liens (except Permitted Liens), and free from all defects of title that have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.11 Compliance with Laws. Tripwire shall comply in all material respects with all Laws applicable to Tripwire, or to Tripwire’s operations or property (including, but not limited to, Environmental Laws and ERISA), except (a) any thereof whose validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings upon stay of execution of the enforcement thereof, or (b) where the failure to so comply does not have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.12 Insurance. Tripwire shall keep in force upon all of its properties and operations policies of insurance (a) carried with companies in such amounts and covering all such risks as shall be customary in the industry in which Tripwire conducts its business, and (b) satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. Those insurance policies shall contain a provision in which the insurer agrees to give the Administrative Agent at least 10 days’ prior, written notice of any cancellation or material modification of the policy issued by such insurer. Tripwire on request shall deliver to the Administrative Agent certificates of insurance or duplicate policies evidencing such coverage. The Administrative Agent shall be named as a lender loss payee on any policy of insurance with respect to the Collateral. If Tripwire fails to maintain the insurance required by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may arrange for such insurance, at Tripwire’s expense, but without any responsibility on the Administrative Agent’s part for (w) obtaining the insurance, (x) the solvency of the insurance company or companies, (y) the adequacy of the coverage, or (z) the collection of claims.

9.13 Inspection. Tripwire shall permit the Administrative Agent, any Lender, and their designees, at any reasonable time and at reasonable intervals of time, and upon reasonable notice (or if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, at any time and without prior notice), to (a) visit and inspect the properties of Tripwire, (b) examine the Collateral, (c) make copies of and take abstracts from the books and records of Tripwire, and (d) discuss the affairs, finances, and accounts of Tripwire with appropriate officers, employees, and accountants, all at the expense of Tripwire, provided, however, that the Administrative

-54-

Agent and the Lenders agree that before they request information from Tripwire’s outside accountants, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall request the information in question from Tripwire and shall seek such information from Tripwire’s accountants only if Tripwire fails to provide the information to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reasonably promptly. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tripwire shall permit periodic reviews (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of the books and records of Tripwire to be carried out by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall make reasonable efforts to cause their inspections, visitations, and examinations of the books, records, and assets to Tripwire to be conducted jointly.

Any Lender at any time may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 13.1 of this Agreement participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to such Lender), provided, however, that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount needs to be assigned;

-67-

(b) in any case not described in paragraph (a) of this Section 13.1 of this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default otherwise has occurred and is continuing, Tripwire, otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(c) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned;

(d) no consent shall be required for any assignment, except to the extent required by paragraph (b) of this Section 13.1 of this Agreement and, in addition:

(i) the consent of Tripwire (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required, unless (A) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (B) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund;

(ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such lender, or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(iii) the consent of the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(e) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.2 of this Agreement, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and

-68-

obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 6.1, 6.10, 6.11, 6.13, and 6.14 of this Agreement with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.1 of this Agreement shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.3 of this Agreement.

13.2 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Tripwire, shall maintain at its designated office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Tripwire, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Tripwire and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time, upon reasonable prior notice.

13.3 Participations. Any Lender at any time, without the consent of, or notice to Tripwire or the Administrative Agent, may sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Tripwire or any of Tripwire’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations, and (c) Tripwire, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Bank shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification, or waiver described in the second sentence of Section 15.1 of this Agreement that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 13.4 of this Agreement, Tripwire agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.12 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Participant were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.1 of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 15.2 of this Agreement as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 15.3 of this Agreement as though it were a Lender.

13.4 Limitations Upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 6.1, 6.2, or 6.7 of this Agreement than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Tripwire’s prior,

-69-

written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement unless Tripwire is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Tripwire, to comply with Section 6.3 of this Agreement as though it were a Lender.

13.5 Certain Pledges. Any Lender at any time may pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement, or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party to this Agreement.

13.6 Resignation as the Issuing Bank After Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time U.S. Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 13.1 of this Agreement, U.S. Bank may, upon 30 days’ notice to Tripwire and the Lenders, resign as the Issuing Bank. In the event of any such resignation by U.S. Bank as the Issuing Bank, Tripwire shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank under this Agreement, provided, however, that no failure by Tripwire to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of U.S. Bank as the Issuing Bank. If U.S. Bank resigns as the Issuing Bank, U.S. Bank shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to all Letters of Credit and all L/C Obligations outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as the Issuing Bank (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans, or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts, pursuant to Section 4.14 and Sections 4.15 through 4.17, respectively, of this Agreement). Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, and (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession, or make other arrangements satisfactory to U.S. Bank to effectively assume the obligations of U.S. Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit and all L/C Obligations payable to U.S. Bank.

ARTICLE XIV

AGENCY

14.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints U.S. Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article XIV of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Bank, and Tripwire shall not be (or have rights as) a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

-70-

14.2 Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a party to a Cash Management Agreement or a Hedging Agreement) and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Document to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents, and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.7 of this Agreement for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Loan Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article XIV and Article XV (including Section 15.11 of this Agreement, as though such co-agents, sub-agents, and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

14.3 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with Tripwire (or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of Tripwire) as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

14.4 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by this Agreement, or by the other Loan Documents, that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability, or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Tripwire or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to, or obtained by, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, or any of its Affiliates, in any capacity.

-71-

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent, or at the request, of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary under the circumstances, as provided in Sections 12.2 and 15.1 of this Agreement), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Tripwire, a Lender, or the Issuing Bank.

14.5 Limited Responsibility of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for, or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into, (a) any statement, warranty, or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, (b) the contents of any certificate, report, or other document delivered under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement, instrument, or document, (e) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article II of this Agreement, or elsewhere in this Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or (f) the existence, value, collectability, adequacy, or sufficiency of the Collateral, or any part of the Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, perfection, or relative priority of the Liens of the Lenders in the Collateral.

14.6 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document, or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting, or other distribution) believed by the Administrative Agent to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to the Administrative Agent orally or by telephone and believed by the Administrative Agent to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying on such statement. In determining compliance with any condition under this Agreement to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Tripwire), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants, or experts.

14.7 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Document, by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory

-72-

provisions of this Article XIV of this Agreement shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such-sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for in this Agreement, as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.

14.8 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent at any time may give notice of resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, and Tripwire. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Tripwire, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank having a combined capital and surplus in excess of $500,000,000, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, with, so long as no Default of Event of Default then exists, the consent of Tripwire (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify Tripwire and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation nonetheless shall become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed), and (b) all payments, communications, and determinations provided to be made by, to, or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 14.8 of this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 14.8 of this Agreement). The fees payable by Tripwire to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to such Administrative Agent’s predecessor, unless otherwise agreed between Tripwire and such successor Administrative Agent. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article XIV of this Agreement and Sections 15.10 through 15.14 of this Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of the retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents, and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken, or omitted to be taken, by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

14.9 Resignation as Administrative Agent Also Constitutes Resignation as Issuing Bank. Any resignation by U.S. Bank as the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.8 of this Agreement also shall constitute U.S. Bank’s resignation as the Issuing Bank. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be

-73-

discharged from all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

14.10 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any related agreement or document furnished under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.

14.11 No Other Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Lenders shall have any powers, duties, or responsibilities under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, except in such Lender’s capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender, or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement.

14.12 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Tripwire) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to do the following:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, the L/C Obligations, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent (including, but not limited to, any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.7, 3.8, 4.6, 4.7, 5.1, 6.1, 6.5, 6.7, and 6.12 of this Agreement allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding hereby is authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the

-74-

Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 14.15, 15.10, and 15.11 of this Agreement. Nothing contained in Article XIV of this Agreement shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt, on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

14.13 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at such agent’s option and in such agent’s discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under any secured Cash Management Agreement and secured Hedging Agreement as to which arrangements satisfactory to the Lender (or Lenders) party to the applicable Cash Management Agreement or Hedging Agreement shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 15.1 of this Agreement;

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under this Agreement; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 11.4 of this Agreement.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 14.13. In each case as specified in this Section 14.13 of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent will, at Tripwire’s expense, execute and deliver to Tripwire such documents as may reasonably be necessary to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Loan Documents, or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 14.13 of this Agreement.

-75-

14.14 General Duties of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall serve as designated agent for the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the structuring, preparation, and negotiation of the Loan Documents and amendments and modifications thereto and with respect to the filing and recordation of Liens, the management of deposit accounts, and the receipt and disbursement of funds to, from, and on behalf of Tripwire and the Lenders, and the other administrative functions specifically set forth in this Agreement and other Loan Documents as assigned to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall serve as designated agent for the Lenders with respect to matters involving collateral inspection and other functions specifically set forth in this Agreement as assigned to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Lender from conducting such other examinations or inspection of the Collateral as reasonably may be required by such Lender, provided, however, that the costs of such examinations or inspections shall be for the account of the Lender conducting any such examination or inspection.

14.15 The Administrative Agent’s Compensation. Tripwire shall pay the Administrative Agent an annual administrative fee in the amount specified in the Agent Fee Letter for services rendered by the Administrative Agent in the execution of the agency created by this Agreement and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Tripwire shall pay the Administrative Agent its administrative fee in equal quarterly installments on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter. The Administrative Agent’s compensation under this Agreement shall not be limited by any provisions of applicable Law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust, and if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive compensation reasonable in relation to its responsibilities under this Agreement.

14.16 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner of such Note for all purposes unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer, or endorsement of such Note, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority, or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee, or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note, or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange for such Note.

15.2 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates hereby is authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Tripwire against any and all of the obligations of Tripwire now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and although such obligations of Tripwire may be contingent or unmatured, or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and their respective Affiliates under this Section 15.2 of this Agreement are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify Tripwire and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

15.3 Sharing of Payments by the Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim, or otherwise, obtain payment (excluding any amounts received by the Issuing Bank to secure the obligations of a Defaulting Lender or an Impacted Lender to fund risk participations in L/C Obligations) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations under this Agreement resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon, or other such obligations, greater than its pro rata share thereof, as provided in this Agreement, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided, however, that:

(y) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

-78-

(z) the provisions of this Section 15.3 of this Agreement shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by Tripwire pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, or participations in Reimbursement Obligations, to any assignee or participant, other than to Tripwire or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Tripwire consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent Tripwire effectively may do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Tripwire rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Tripwire in the amount of such participation.

15.4 No Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement, or any Loan Document, and no delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement or any Loan Document, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power, or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any Loan Document shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or remedy, or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The exercise of any right, power, or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall in no event constitute a cure or waiver of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or the Notes, or a waiver of the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the holder of any of the Notes, to exercise any other right under this Agreement or the Notes, unless in the exercise of such right, all obligations of Tripwire under this Agreement and the Notes are paid in full. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any right, power, or remedy provided by applicable Law. Time is of the essence and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be enforced strictly.

15.5 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Oregon, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

15.6 Submission to Jurisdiction. Tripwire irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Multnomah County, Oregon, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any of such courts. Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced

-79-

in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the issuing Bank otherwise may have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, against Tripwire or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

15.7 Waiver of Objections to Venue. Tripwire irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that Tripwire now or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in any court referred to in Section 15.6 of this Agreement. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

15.8 Notices. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in Section 15.9 of this Agreement), all notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail, or sent by telecopier to each party at the addresses designated in Schedule 15.8 to this Agreement. Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 15.9 of this Agreement shall be effective as provided in such section of this Agreement. Any party to this Agreement may change its address or telecopier number for notices and other communications under this Agreement by notice to the other parties to this Agreement.

15.9 Electronic Communication. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank under this Agreement may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank if such Lender, or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under Section 5.16 of this Agreement by electronic communications. The Administrative Agent or Tripwire may, in its discretion, agree in writing to accept notices and other communications to it under this Agreement by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices and communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (a) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail, or other written acknowledgment), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business of the next Business Day for the recipient, and (b) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e mail address as described in the foregoing clause (a) of notification that such notice of communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

15.10 Costs and Expenses. Tripwire shall pay (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges, and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for in this Agreement, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including but not limited to, costs associated with filing financing statements, conducting Lien searches, and inspecting the Collateral in accordance with Section 7.3 of this Agreement), or any amendments, modifications, or waivers of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of any Letter of Credit, or any demand for payment under any Letter of Credit, and (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the Issuing Bank (including the reasonable fees, charges, and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the Issuing Bank) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (y) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 15.10 of this Agreement or Section 15.11 of this Agreement, or (z) in connection with the Loans made, or Letters of Credit issued, under this Agreement, including all such out-of- pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring, or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

15.11 Indemnification by Tripwire. Tripwire shall indemnify Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and the Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and shall hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges, and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee, or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Tripwire, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to this Agreement of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (c) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Tripwire or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Tripwire or any of its Subsidiaries, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation, or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Tripwire, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or related expenses (y) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee, or (z) result from a claim brought by Tripwire against an

-81-

Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, if Tripwire has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

15.12 Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Tripwire for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 15.10 or 15.11 of this Agreement to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable reimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity.

15.13 Waiver of Consequential Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, neither Tripwire nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and Tripwire and the Lenders, for themselves and for each Indemnitee, hereby waive, any claim against the other on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof. Except for damages arising from its gross negligence or willful misconduct, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

15.14 Payments Set Aside. To the extent any payments in respect of the Obligations (or any proceeds of any Collateral, including, but not limited to, the proceeds received by the Lenders as a result of any enforcement proceeding or setoff) or any part thereof subsequently are invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and shall continue in full force and effect, and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights, powers, and remedies under this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect, as if such payment had not been made, or such enforcement proceeding or setoff had not occurred. In such event, each Loan Document automatically shall be reinstated and Tripwire shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement.

15.15 Survival of Certain Agreements. The agreements set forth in Sections 15.10 through 15.14 of this Agreement shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of all of the Obligations.

-82-

15.16 Survival of Covenants. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, all covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties made in this Agreement, in the other Loan Documents, or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of Tripwire pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans as contemplated in this Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligation remains outstanding and unpaid. All statements contained in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of Tripwire pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute representations and warranties by Tripwire under this Agreement.

15.17 Amendments and Waivers. No term, provision, or condition of this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended, waived, discharged, or terminated, except by a written instrument signed by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, under the circumstances specified in the second sentence of Section 15.1 of this Agreement) and, in the case of amendments, by Tripwire.

15.18 Borrower Materials. Tripwire hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank materials and information provided by or on behalf of Tripwire under this Agreement (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on DXSyndicate or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (b) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non public information with respect to Tripwire or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Tripwire hereby agrees that so long as Tripwire or any of its Subsidiaries is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered or issued pursuant to a private offering or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Tripwire shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to Tripwire, or its (or its Subsidiaries’) securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 15.26 of this Agreement; (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform that is not designated “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tripwire shall be under no obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

-83-

15.19 Representations Regarding the Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OR ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Tripwire, any Lender, the Issuing Bank, or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract, or otherwise) arising out of Tripwire’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Tripwire, any Lender, the Issuing Bank, or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

15.20 Change of Notice Information; Maintenance of Updated Contact Information. Each of Tripwire, the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Bank may change its address, telecopier, or telephone number for notices and other communications under this Agreement by notice to the other parties to this Agreement. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier, or telephone number for notices, and other communications under this Agreement by notice to Tripwire, the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Bank. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (a) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number, and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent, and (b) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender at all times to have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non public information with respect to Tripwire or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

15.21 Reliance on Notices from Tripwire. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices given, or purportedly given, by or on behalf of Tripwire even if (a) such notices were not made in a manner specified in this Agreement, were incomplete, or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified in this Agreement, or (b) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Tripwire shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses, and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice given, or purportedly given, by or on behalf of Tripwire, unless such reliance constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties to this Agreement hereby consents to such recording.

-84-

15.22 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties thereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Except as provided in Section 2.1 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties to this Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

15.23 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 15.23 OF THIS AGREEMENT.

15.24 Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Tripwire may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except (a) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 of this Agreement, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3 of this Agreement, or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 13.5 of this Agreement (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void.) Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 13.3 of this Agreement, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 15.25 of this Agreement, “Information” means all information received from Tripwire or any of its Subsidiaries, relating to Tripwire or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Tripwire or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that, in the case of information received from Tripwire or any of its Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 15.25 of this Agreement shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

15.26 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act (as hereinafter defined), the Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Tripwire that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies Tripwire, which information includes the name and address of Tripwire and other information that will allow such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Tripwire in accordance with the Patriot Act.

15.27 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including in connection with any amendment, waiver, or other modification of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document), Tripwire acknowledges and agrees that (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent are arm’s length commercial transactions between Tripwire, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, (ii) Tripwire has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory, and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) Tripwire is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks, and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the

-86-

other Loan Documents; (b) (i) the Administrative Agent is acting, and has been acting, solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent, or fiduciary for Tripwire or any other Person, and (ii) the Administrative Agent has no obligation to Tripwire or any other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except those obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Tripwire and its Affiliates, and the Administrative Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Tripwire or any of its Affiliates. Except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tripwire hereby waives and releases any claims that it has or may have against the Administrative Agent with respect to any breach, or alleged breach, of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

15.28 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall as to such jurisdiction be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties waive any provision of Law that renders any provision of this Agreement prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

15.29 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Loan Documents set forth and constitute the entire agreement between and among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the Loans, Letters of Credit, and the security for the Obligations. No oral promise or agreement of any kind or nature, other than those that have been reduced to writing and have been set forth in this Agreement and in the Loan Documents, has been made between or among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, and Tripwire with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, and the security for the Obligations.

15.30 Interpretation. This Agreement is a negotiated agreement. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, such ambiguity shall not be subject to a rule of contract interpretation that would cause the ambiguity to be construed against any of the parties to this Agreement.
