ARTICLE II.

THE COMMITMENT AND LOANS

2.01 Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a Loan) to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the
Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any borrowing, the Outstanding Amount of all Loans shall not exceed the
Commitment. Within the limits of the Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.03, and reborrow under this
Section 2.01. A Loan may be a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan, as further provided herein.

2.02 Borrowings,
Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each borrowing, each conversion of a Loan from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made upon the Borrowers irrevocable notice to the Lender, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Lender



13



---

not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) two Business Days prior to the requested date of any borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan
or of any conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) on the requested date of any borrowing of a Base Rate Loan. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Lender of a written Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.
Each borrowing of or conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is
requesting a borrowing, a conversion of a Loan from one Type to the other, or a continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) the requested date of the borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day),
(iii) the principal amount of the Loan to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loan to be borrowed or to which an existing Loan is to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loan shall be made as, or converted to, a Base Rate Loan.
Any such automatic conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loan. If the Borrower requests a borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(b) Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if a borrowing is the initial Loan,
Section 4.01), the Lender shall make the proceeds of each Loan available to the Borrower either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Lender with the amount of such proceeds or (ii) wire transfer of
such proceeds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Lender by the Borrower.

(c)
Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loan may be requested as, converted to or
continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Lender.

(d) The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the interest
rate applicable to any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that a Base Rate
Loan is outstanding, the Lender shall notify the Borrower of any change in the Lenders prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there
shall not be more than seven Interest Periods in effect.



14



---

2.03 Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Lender, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received
by the Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and (B) on the date of prepayment of a Base Rate Loan; (ii) any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in
a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of a Base Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if
less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loan(s) to be prepaid. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such
prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(b) If for any reason the Outstanding Amount of all Loans at any time exceeds the
Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

2.04 Termination or
Reduction of Commitment.The Borrower may, upon notice to the Lender, terminate the Commitment, or from time to time reduce the Commitment; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m.,
five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Commitment if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of all Loans would exceed the Commitment. All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination
of the Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.05 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the
Lender on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date.

2.06 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) If any amount payable by the
Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at
all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Furthermore, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the



15



---

principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in
accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.07 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate
times the actual daily amount by which the Commitment exceeds the Outstanding Amount of all Loans. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions
in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date.
The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such
quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Lenders Upfront Fee. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the
Lender an upfront fee in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter. Such fee shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Lenders prime rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365
or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if
computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that
any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day.

2.09 Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of
the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Note, which shall evidence the Lenders Loans in addition to such accounts or
records. The Lender



16



---

may attach schedules to the Note and endorse thereon the date, Type, amount and maturity of each Loan and payments with respect thereto.

2.10 Payments Generally.

(a) All
payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Lender
at the applicable Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Lender after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day
and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to debit the
account maintained by the Borrower with the Lender as of the Closing Date (or such other account maintained by the Borrower with the Lender as shall be designated in writing by the Borrower from time to time) (the Designated
Account) on each date (including each Interest Payment Date) on which a payment of interest, fees, costs or expenses is due hereunder (each, a Due Date). Not later than two Business Days prior to each such Due Date, the
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower a statement of the amount that will be due and payable in respect of any such interest, fees, costs and expenses having accrued hereunder (the Billed Amount); provided that any such
Billed Amount shall be calculated by the Lender under the assumption that no new Loans or payments of principal, interest, fees, costs or expenses will be made by the Borrower, and that no changes in the Applicable Rates then applicable to each
outstanding Loan will occur, during the period commencing on the date such statement is issued and ending on the Due Date related thereto. On the Due Date, the Lender may debit the Designated Account for the actual amount of accrued interest, fees,
costs and expenses due on such Due Date (each, a Debited Amount), and shall promptly notify the Borrower as to any difference (positive or negative) between such Billed Amount and Debited Amount. The Borrower shall at all times
maintain sufficient funds in the Designated Account to pay all Debited Amounts debited therefrom. To the extent that, on any Due Date, there are insufficient funds in the Designated Account to pay the Debited Amount related to such Due Date, the
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative an amount equal to such Debited Amount in accordance with this Section 2.10. Interest, fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder shall continue to accrue in the manner provided hereunder,
regardless of whether such interest, fees, costs and expenses are paid by the Borrower by means of a debit to the Designated Account or otherwise, and regardless of any differences between any Billed Amount and the Debited Amount related thereto. No
failure by the Lender to issue any statement or notice, or failure or inability on the part of the Lender to debit the Designated Account on any Due Date for any amount then due (whether as a result of insufficient funds in the Designated Account on
such Due Date or otherwise), shall in any way excuse or in any way affect any obligation of the Borrower to pay any such interest, fees, costs and expenses in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business
Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.



17



---

(c) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate the Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by the Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Any and all
payments by the Borrower to or for the account of the 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 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 Lender 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 hereinafter referred
to as Taxes). If the Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Lender, (i) 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), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make
such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment, the Borrower shall
furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to
pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance,
enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as Other Taxes).

(c) If the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Lender, the Borrower shall also pay to the Lender, at the time interest is paid, such
additional amount that the 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 Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not
been imposed.

(d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender, (ii) amounts payable under Section 3.01(c) and (iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that



18



---

(A) the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify the Lender for any penalties described in clause (iii) above to the extent the Lender
(1) had actual knowledge of the existence of the tax, interest, or expense, the non-payment of which gave rise to such penalties, and (2) failed to give the Borrower notice of such tax, interest or expense within ten Business Days after
the Lender received actual knowledge of the existence thereof; and (B) nothing contained in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to imply any obligation on the part of the Lender to provide the Borrower with notice of any such tax, penalty,
interest or expense. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender makes a demand therefor.

3.02 Illegality. If the Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans,
or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert
all Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. The Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid
the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of the Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to the Lender.

3.03 Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. If the Lender determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or that the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Loan, the Lender will
promptly so notify the Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for
a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If the Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law occurring after the Closing Date, or the Lenders compliance therewith, there shall be any
increase in the cost to the Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by the Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this



19



---

subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall
govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which the Lender is organized or has
its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate), then from time to time upon demand of the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the
Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If the Lender determines that the introduction of any Law occurring after the Closing
Date regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof occurring after the Closing Date, or compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith after the Closing Date, has the effect of reducing the rate of
return on the capital of the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender as a consequence of the Lenders obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and the Lenders desired return
on capital), then from time to time upon demand of the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction.

3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of the Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate the Lender for and hold the Lender
harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan
other than a Base 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); or

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of the Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower,

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising
from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the
Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this
Section 3.05, the Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Requests for Compensation. A certificate of the Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable for any such amount to the extent attributable to any period
occurring more than 180 days prior to the date of such certificate.



20



---

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrowers obligations under this Article III shall survive
termination of the Commitment and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Obligation of the Borrower to make any payment under this Article III is contingent upon the receipt by the Borrower of
the certificate described in Section 3.05 within 180 days after the repayment of all loans.

ARTICLE IV.

5.14 Compliance with Laws. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws
and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights (collectively, IP Rights) that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, and,
except where the existence of such conflict could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, without conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device,
product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person, except where any such infringement could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could

disclosures being deemed to include the Borrowers periodic filings with the SEC) all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that,

Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 8.02; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Borrowers behalf on IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another relevant website, if any, to which the Lender has access (whether

provisions of the Incorporated Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, that have been (or foreseeably will be) breached or violated, but the failure to correctly list all such sections shall not, of itself, constitute a failure to
comply with this Section.

undertake reasonable inspections of any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and

(c) The Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the
Borrower or any of the Borrowers Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a Participant) in all or a portion of the Lenders rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or
the Loans; provided that (i) the Lenders obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that the 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 the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (i) postpone
any date upon which any payment of money is scheduled to be made to such Participant, or (ii) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Participant (provided, however, that the Lender may, without the
consent of the Participant, A) amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder and
(B) waive the right to be paid interest at the Default Rate), or (iii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty. Subject to subsection (d) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 8.09 as though it were the Lender.

(d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the 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 the
Borrowers prior written consent. A Participant that is not a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is
notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to provide to the Lender such tax forms prescribed by the IRS as are necessary or desirable to establish an exemption from U.S.
withholding tax.

(e) The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement (including under the Note, if any) to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

(f) As used herein, the
following terms have the following meanings:

Eligible Assignee means (a) an Affiliate of the
Lender; (b) an Approved Fund; and (c) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such approval shall be required if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Fund means any Person (other than a natural person) that is
(or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

Approved Fund means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) the Lender or (b) an Affiliate of the
Lender.

8.08 Confidentiality. The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be



35



---

informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or (provided that, to the extent permitted and practicable in the reasonable judgment of the recipient thereof, reasonably prompt notice of the receipt
thereof is given to the Borrower) by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (f) with the consent
of the Borrower, (g) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower or (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization. In addition, the Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar
service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Lender in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitment, and the Loans. For purposes of this Section,
Information means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by any Loan Party, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, 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 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.

8.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by
law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on
its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time
owing by, the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to the Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the
Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. The Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

8.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid
under the Loan Documents shall not



36



---

exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the Maximum Rate). If the Lender shall receive interest in
an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received
by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents,
comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Lender in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict
with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

8.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lender, regardless of any
investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation
hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

8.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity
of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.15
Governing Law; Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law
of the State of California.



37



---

(b) This Section concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether
arising in contract, tort or by statute, including controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any other Loan Document (collectively a
Claim). For the purposes of this arbitration provision only, the term parties shall include any parent corporation, Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Lender involved in the servicing, management or administration of
any obligation described or evidenced by this Agreement.

(c) At the request of any party to this Agreement, any Claim shall be resolved by
binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code) (the Act). The Act will apply even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by the law of the State of California.

(d) Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the applicable rules and procedures for the arbitration of disputes of JAMS or
any successor thereof (JAMS), and the terms of this Section. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this Section shall control.

(e) The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for the Obligations is located or if there is no
such collateral, in the State of California. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; provided, however, that if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by
three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty
(30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written
statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.

(f) The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the
service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The
arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(g) This Section does not limit the right
of any party to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale
rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.



38



---

(h) The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party,
including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to arbitration.

(i) By agreeing to binding arbitration, the
parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this Agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties
irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into this Agreement.

8.16 USA Patriot Act Notice. The Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.
L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the Act), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow the Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

8.17 Time of the Essence. Time is of
the essence of the Loan Documents.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the Borrower) hereby promises to pay to
the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (the Lender), on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) the principal amount of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000), or such lesser principal amount of Loans (as
defined in such Credit Agreement) due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender on the Maturity Date under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2006 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from
time to time, the Agreement; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined), between the Borrower and the Lender.

The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and at such times as are specified in
the Agreement. All payments of principal and interest shall be made to the Lender in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Lenders Lending Office. If any amount is not paid in full when due hereunder, such unpaid amount shall bear

This Note is the Note referred to in the Agreement, is entitled to the benefits thereof and is subject to optional prepayment in whole or in part as
provided therein. This Note is also entitled to the benefits of the Guaranty. Upon the occurrence and continuation of one or more of the Events of Default specified in the Agreement, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note shall become, or
may be declared to be, immediately due and payable all as provided in the Agreement. Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The Lender may also
attach schedules to this Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of the Loans and payments with respect thereto.
