 2. CREDIT FACILITY. 

2.1 The Loan. On the date hereof, Lender agrees to extend the Loan to Borrower in accordance with the terms of, and subject
to the conditions set forth in, this Agreement, the Note and the other Transaction Documents. An initial Borrowing Tranche under the Loan shall bear interest as a LIBO Rate Tranche, and, thereafter, any such Borrowing Tranche may be converted or
renewed from time to time in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, the Loan is not a revolving credit facility and Borrower may not repay and re-borrow principal amounts under
the Loan. Subject to Section 2.6 and any other conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, any Borrowing 

  
 12 









 
Tranche under the Loan shall be treated as, at Borrower’s election subject to and in accordance with the terms in this Agreement: (a) a LIBO Rate Tranche or (b) a Base Rate
Tranche. The unpaid principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, or such earlier date on which such amount shall become due and payable on account of acceleration by Lender in
accordance with the terms of the Note and this Agreement. 
 2.2 The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by the
Note. 
 2.3 Payments and Maturity Date. On September 30, 2012 and on the last day of each calendar quarter
thereafter, Borrower shall repay, together with any interest payment then due under Section 2.6.2, an amount equal to $625,000. On the Maturity Date, all sums due and owing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with
respect to the Loan shall be repaid in full. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender has not made any commitments, either express or implied, to extend the terms of the Loan past its Maturity Date, unless Borrower and Lender hereafter
specifically otherwise agree in writing. 
 2.4 Fee. Borrower shall pay Lender a fee equal to 0.50% (fifty basis
points) of the Maximum Principal Amount on the Closing Date. Such fee shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refunded for any reason. 
 2.5 The Closing. The establishment of the credit facility shall occur at the closing (the “Closing”) which will occur at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP,
counsel to Lender, at 300 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, Illinois at 9:30 a.m. (local time) on the Closing Date, or at such other place, date, time or manner (including remotely via the electronic or other exchange of documents and
signature pages) as the parties hereto may agree, and may include the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan in accordance with the Instructions, if any, received at least one Business Day prior to Closing. 

2.6 Interest Rate Matters. Borrower agrees that matters concerning the election, payment, application, accrual and
computation of interest and interest rates shall be in accordance with Lender’s practices set forth in this Agreement and in the other Transaction Documents. 
 2.6.1 Applicable Interest Rate. Subject to Sections 2.6 and 2.7, the initial Borrowing Tranche shall bear interest as a LIBO Rate Tranche and shall continue as a LIBO
Rate Tranche having the previously selected LIBOR Period unless LIBO Rate pricing is not available. For any Base Rate Borrowing Tranche, Borrower may make, if available, a LIBO Rate election by delivering a Rate Election Notice before 12:00 p.m.,
Eastern time, on the second Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date. The LIBO Rate shall remain fixed for each LIBO Rate Tranche until the next LIBOR Period commences. Borrower may elect, by designation on a Rate Election Notice to convert a Base
Rate Tranche or any portion thereof into a LIBO Rate Tranche. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of any “portion” shall be $1,000,000, or a multiple thereof. In the event Borrower fails to notify Lender that
Borrower desires to continue any LIBO Rate Tranche or any portion thereof by the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue the LIBO Rate Tranche in question for an additional LIBOR Period equal to
the next preceding LIBOR Period. Any Rate Election 

  
 13 









 
Notice delivered by Borrower shall be irrevocable and may not be modified in any way without the prior, written approval of Lender. The LIBOR Period for the continuation of any LIBO Rate Tranche
shall commence on the day after the last day of the next preceding LIBOR Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and subject to the default interest provisions contained herein, if an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, all LIBO Rate Tranches will convert to Base Rate Tranches upon the expiration of the LIBOR Periods therefor. The conversion of a LIBO Rate Tranche to a Base Rate Tranche pursuant to a description in a Rate Election Notice shall only
occur on the last Business Day of the LIBOR Period relating to such LIBO Rate Tranche. Lender is hereby authorized to rely upon Instructions, Rate Election Notices and other written communications concerning the Loan delivered by any authorized
officer of Borrower, including the Borrower’s President, Chief Financial Officer, Controller, Treasurer and any other officer designated on the Notice of Authorized Officers delivered by Borrower from time to time, and such additional
authorized agents as any of the above-referenced officers of Borrower shall designate, in writing, to Lender from time to time. 

2.6.2 Interest Payments. Subject to Section 2.6.3 and except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the
Note, interest accrued (a) on each LIBO Rate Tranche shall be payable by Borrower in arrears on the last day of each LIBOR Period and on the Maturity Date, and (b) on each Base Rate Tranche or any other outstanding amount of the Loan shall
be payable by Borrower in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, beginning June 30, 2012, and on the Maturity Date. 
 2.6.3 Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest and the payment dates specified in this Section 2.6, effective immediately upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments not paid within five days after the same becomes due shall bear interest payable upon
demand at a rate that is 3% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement (the “Default Rate”). In addition, all other amounts due to Lender (whether directly or for reimbursement) under
this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents if not paid within 5 Business Days after written notice from Lender that the same has become due, shall thereafter bear interest at the foregoing Default Rate. Finally, any amount due on the
Maturity Date that is not then paid shall also bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. 
 2.6.4 Computation of
Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In computing interest, the date of funding shall be included and the date of payment
(with respect to the amount timely paid on such date) shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any funding is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid thereon. The parties hereto intend to conform
strictly to applicable usury laws as in effect from time to time during the term of the Loan. Accordingly, if the transaction contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the United States of America, or of any
other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Note, Borrower and Lender agree that the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest
under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received under or in connection with this Agreement shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to Borrower by
Lender (or if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to Borrower by Lender). 

  
 14 









 2.7 Certain Provisions Regarding Taxes, Yield Protection and Illegality.

 2.7.1 Changes; Legal Restrictions. In the event the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule,
regulation, guideline or the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Agency (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) either (a) subjects Lender to any tax
(other than income taxes or franchise taxes not specifically based on loan transactions), duty or other charge of any kind with respect to any LIBO Rate Tranche or changes the basis of taxation (other than with respect to income taxes or franchise
taxes not specifically based on loan transactions) of payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable in connection with a LIBO Rate Tranche, or (b) imposes on Lender any other condition materially more burdensome in
nature, extent or consequence than those in existence as of the date of this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining any LIBO Rate Tranches or to reduce any amount
receivable thereunder; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, as applicable, upon demand, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lender for any such additional cost incurred or reduced amounts received.

 2.7.2 LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to
Borrower, be conclusive and binding in the absence of readily demonstrable error) that the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Agency makes it
unlawful for Lender to make or maintain any LIBO Rate Tranche, (a) the obligation of Lender to make or continue any LIBO Rate Tranche shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until Lender shall notify Borrower that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (b) if required by such law, interpretation or application, all LIBO Rate Tranches shall automatically convert into Base Rate Tranches. 

2.7.3 Unascertainable Interest Rate. If Lender shall have determined in good faith that adequate means do not exist for
ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Tranches, then, upon notice from Lender to Borrower, the obligations of Lender to make or continue LIBO Rate Tranches shall forthwith be suspended, and thereafter the Loan shall
continue as a Base Rate Tranche until Lender shall notify Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Lender will give such notice when it determines, in good faith, that such circumstances no longer exist; provided,
however, that Lender shall not have any liability with respect to any delay in giving such notice. 
 2.7.4 Funding
Losses. In the event Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Lender to make or maintain any LIBO Rate Tranche) as a
result of any continuance, conversion, repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of, or failure to make or termination of, any LIBO Rate Tranche on a date other than the scheduled last day of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, then, upon
written notice of such from Lender to Borrower, Borrower shall reimburse Lender (without duplication, including under Section 2.7.5.6) for such loss or expense within three Business Days after receipt of such notice. Such written notice
(which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of readily demonstrable error. 

  
 15 









 2.7.5 Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBO Rate Tranches. 

2.7.5.1. 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, Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by
Section 2.7.5.5); (b) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBO Rate Tranche made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect thereof; or
(c) impose on any Lender or the London Inter-Bank Eurodollar Market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBO Rate Tranches made by Lender and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
Lender of making or maintaining the Loan based on the LIBO Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount) then, upon request of Lender, Borrower will pay to Lender (without duplication, including under Section 2.7.1) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 2.7.5.2. Capital Requirements. If Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting Lender or the lending
office of Lender where the Loan is deemed to be maintained or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of
Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loan made by Lender, to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered. 
 2.7.5.3. Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of Lender
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.7.1, Section 2.7.5.1 or Section 2.7.5.2 and delivered to Borrower shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 2.7.5.4. Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine
months prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

  
 16 









 2.7.5.5. Reserves on LIBO Rate Tranches. Borrower shall pay to Lender, as
long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including LIBO funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each LIBO Rate Tranche equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to the Loan by Lender (as determined by Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable (without duplication,
including as contemplated in the definition of LIBO Rate) on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided, however, Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice of such additional interest from Lender. If Lender
fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice. 
 2.7.5.6. Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of Lender from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred
by it (without duplication, including under Section 2.7.4) as a result of: (i) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Tranche 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); (ii) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other
than a Base Rate Tranche on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or (iii) any assignment of a LIBO Rate Tranche on a day other than the last day of the interest period therefor as a result of a request by 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 the Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any
customary administrative fees charged by Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to Lender under this Section 2.7.5.6, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBO Rate
Tranche made by it at the LIBO Rate for such Tranche by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London Inter-Bank Eurodollar Market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBO Rate Tranche was in fact so
funded. 
 2.7.5.7. Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive
termination of the Agreement, and repayment of the Loan hereunder. 
 2.7.6 Notice of Changes or Increased Costs Relating
to LIBO Rate Tranches. Lender agrees that, as promptly as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause it to be affected by any of the events or conditions
described in this Section 2.7, it will notify Borrower of such event and the possible effects thereof, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect Lender’s rights to reimbursement provided for herein.

 2.8 Payments. Borrower agrees that matters concerning prepayments, payments and application of payments shall
be in accordance with Lender’s practices set forth in this Agreement and in the other Transaction Documents. 

  
 17 









 2.8.1 Prepayment. Subject to Section 2.7.4 hereof and the
immediately following sentence, Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to Lender, prepay, without penalty, all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding under the Note in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000 or any
larger integral multiple of $100,000 by paying the principal amount to be prepaid, together with unpaid accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and Borrower has no unsatisfied obligations under the Transaction Documents, prepayments shall be applied to the scheduled principal installment payable in respect of the Loan as directed by Borrower. Amounts that are prepaid under the Note may not
be reborrowed. 
 2.8.2 Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of principal, interest and fees hereunder payable
to Lender shall be made, without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in U.S. dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Lender’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds delivered to
Lender not later than 12:00 noon (Eastern time) on the date due. Funds received by Lender after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. 

2.8.3 Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a
day which is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder. 

2.8.4 Application of Payments. All payments received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrower shall be applied first to
amounts due to Lender to reimburse Lender’s costs and expenses, including those pursuant to Section 5.6 or Section 8.5 and, second to accrued interest under the Note, and third to principal amounts outstanding under the
Note; provided, however, subject to Section 8.1.2 of this Agreement, that after the date on which the final payment of principal with respect to the Loan is due or following and during any Event of Default, all payments received on
account of Borrower’s Liabilities shall be applied in whatever order, combination and amounts as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, decides, to all costs, expenses and other indebtedness owing to Lender under the Transaction
Documents. 
 3. DISBURSEMENT. 
 3.1 Initial Disbursement. Following the Closing and the delivery of all items required by Section 3, at such time as all of the terms and conditions in Section 3.3
have been satisfied by Borrower and Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender each of the Transaction Documents and any other related documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, Lender shall disburse to Borrower an amount
up to $25,000,000. In the event Borrower fails to satisfy any disbursement conditions, Borrower nevertheless shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein promptly upon receipt of an

 4.
GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower hereby covenants, represents and warrants to Lender as follows: 

4.1 Organization and Authority. 
 4.1.1 Organization Matters. Borrower (a) is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Tennessee; (b) is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation and in good standing in the State of Tennessee and all jurisdictions in which it is doing business except where the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect; (c) has all requisite power and authority, corporate
or otherwise, to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party; and (d) is registered as a bank holding
company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Each of Subsidiary Bank and the other Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and chartered under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and has all requisite power
and authority, corporate or otherwise, to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except, in the case of a Subsidiary other than Subsidiary Bank, where the failure of such Subsidiary to have the
requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The deposit accounts of Subsidiary Bank are insured by the
FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Borrower and Subsidiary Bank have made payment of all applicable franchise and similar taxes in the State of Tennessee, and in all of the other respective jurisdictions in which they are
incorporated, chartered or qualified, prior to delinquency, except for any such taxes (i) where the failure to pay such taxes would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the validity of which is being contested in good faith and
(iii) for which proper reserves have been set aside on the books of Borrower or Subsidiary Bank, as the case may be. 

4.1.2 Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Bank. Section 4.1.2 of the Disclosure Schedule correctly sets forth
(a) the state or states in which Subsidiary Bank owns, leases, operates, maintains, controls or otherwise has an interest in any bank or branch offices, loan production offices, deposit production offices, remote service units for the
production of deposits or loans, or any ATMs, and the state or states in which Subsidiary Bank owns or leases any Property used in its operations, and (b) a list of each class of stock of Subsidiary Bank as well as the owners of record and
beneficial owners thereof, including the number of shares held by each, and, except as otherwise stated in Section 4.1.2 of the Disclosure Schedule, there is no plan, agreement or understanding providing for, or contemplating, the
issuance of any additional shares of capital stock of Subsidiary Bank. All of the Subsidiary Bank Shares have been duly authorized, legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, except as provided in 12 U.S.C. § 55,
and the Subsidiary Bank Shares are owned by Borrower free and clear of all pledges, liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, and following the Closing Date, Borrower will own the Subsidiary Bank Shares free and clear of all pledges,
liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances. None of the Subsidiary Bank Shares have been issued in 

  
 21 









 
violation of any shareholder’s preemptive rights. Except as otherwise stated in Section 4.1.2 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding options, rights, warrants or
other agreements or instruments obligating Borrower to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of the capital stock of Subsidiary Bank. 

4.2 No Impediment to Transactions. 
 4.2.1 Transaction is Legal and Authorized. The borrowing of the principal amount of the Loan, the execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and compliance by Borrower
or any Subsidiary, as applicable, with all of the provisions of this Agreement and of the other Transaction Documents are within the corporate and other powers of Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower or any Subsidiary, as applicable, and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower or such
Subsidiary, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights or
equitable principles generally. 
 4.2.2 No Defaults or Restrictions. Neither the execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents nor compliance with their terms and conditions will (a) violate, conflict with or result in a material breach of, or constitute a material default under: (i) the charter or bylaws of Borrower or the articles of
association or bylaws of Subsidiary Bank; (ii) any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions of any corporate restriction or of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, bank loan or credit agreement, or any other
material agreement or instrument to which Borrower is now a party or by which Borrower or any of its properties may be bound or affected; (iii) any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court, arbitrator, grand jury, or
Governmental Agency applicable to Borrower; or (iv) any statute, rule or regulation applicable to Borrower, or (b) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any property or asset
of Borrower or Subsidiary Bank except in the case of (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (a)(iv) and (b), such violations, conflicts, breaches, defaults, liens, charges or encumbrances as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor Subsidiary Bank
is in material default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any material indenture or other agreement creating, evidencing or securing Indebtedness of any
kind or pursuant to which any such Indebtedness is issued, or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Subsidiary Bank is a party or by which Borrower or Subsidiary Bank or their properties may be bound or affected. 

4.2.3 Governmental Consent. No governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be
obtained by Borrower or Subsidiary Bank and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed by Borrower or Subsidiary Bank in connection with, or contemplation of, the execution and delivery of, and performance under, this Agreement and

 4.3 Purposes of the Loan. 

4.3.1 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan solely to fund the redemption of the TARP-CPP Stock and
no proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes or to fund capital infusions into the Subsidiary Bank. Borrower will not use any part of the proceeds of the Loan (a) directly or indirectly to purchase or carry any margin security or
reduce or retire any indebtedness originally incurred to purchase any such margin security within the meaning of Regulation U of the FRB, or (b) so as to involve Borrower or Lender in a violation of Regulation U of the FRB. Borrower agrees to
execute, or cause to be executed, all instruments necessary to comply with all of the requirements of Regulation U of the FRB. 

4.3.2 Usury. None of the amounts to be received by Lender as interest under the Note pursuant to the terms of the Note and
the other Transaction Documents is usurious or illegal under any applicable law. 
 4.4 Financial Condition.

 4.4.1 Borrower Financial Statements. Borrower has delivered to Lender copies of the consolidated financial
statements of Borrower (which financial statements shall include the financial statement accounts and information of Subsidiary Bank) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Borrower 2011 Financial Statement
Date”), audited by Borrower’s Accountant (the “Borrower 2011 Financial Statements”). The Borrower 2011 Financial Statements are true and correct in material respects, have been prepared in accordance with the
respective books of account and records of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with prior periods, and fairly and accurately present, in all material respects, the financial
condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their assets and liabilities and the results of their operations as of such date and for the fiscal year then ended. In addition, Borrower has delivered to Lender copies of the call reports filed by
Subsidiary Bank and copies of the quarterly financial reports filed by the Borrower with the applicable federal regulator, in each case for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2012 (such call reports and regulatory filings, “Interim
Financial Statements” and together with the Borrower 2011 Financial Statements, the “Borrower Financial Statements”). The Borrower Interim Financial Statements are true and correct in material respects and have been
prepared in accordance with the respective books of account and records of Subsidiary Bank and Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and in accordance with applicable banking regulations, rules and guidelines on a basis consistent with
prior periods, and fairly and accurately present in all material respects the financial condition of Borrower and Subsidiary Bank, as the case may be, and their respective assets and liabilities and the results of their respective operations as of
such date and for the period(s) covered thereby, subject to year-end adjustments and the absence of notes. The Borrower Financial Statements contain and reflect provisions for taxes, reserves and other liabilities of Borrower in accordance with GAAP
and applicable banking regulations, rules, and guidelines, respectively. Neither Borrower nor Subsidiary Bank has any material debt, liability or obligation of any nature (whether accrued, contingent, absolute or otherwise) required to be provided
for or disclosed under GAAP that is not provided for or disclosed in the Borrower Financial Statements. 

  
 23 









 4.4.2 Absence of Default. No event has occurred that either of itself or with
the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would give any creditor of Borrower the right to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness of Borrower for borrowed money. Borrower is not in default under any other lease, agreement or
instrument, or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree, determination or award, except for such defaults as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.4.3 Loans. To Borrower’s knowledge, each loan having an outstanding balance of more than $5,000,000 and reflected as an asset of Subsidiary Bank in the Borrower Financial Statements
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor named therein, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws relating to or
limiting creditors’ rights or equitable principles generally. As of the date hereof and the date of any quarterly compliance certificate delivered under Section 6.3, to Borrower’s knowledge, (a) no obligor named therein is
seeking to avoid the enforceability of the terms of any loan having an unpaid balance (principal and accrued interest) in excess of $5,000,000, and (b) no loan having an unpaid balance (principal and accrued interest) in excess of $5,000,000 is
subject to any valid defense, offset or counterclaim. 
 4.4.4 Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The allowance
for loan and lease losses shown in the Borrower Financial Statements is adequate to provide for losses, net of recoveries relating to loans previously charged off, on loans and leases outstanding as of the date of such statements or reports.

 4.4.5 Solvency. After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
Borrower has capital sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and all businesses and transactions in which it is about to engage and is solvent and able to pay its debts as they mature. No transfer of property is being made and no
indebtedness is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Borrower or any Subsidiary. 

4.4.6 Subordination. The Junior Subordinated Debentures are expressly subordinate and junior in all respects (including,
with respect to the right of payment) to the Loan to the extent provided in each applicable indenture pursuant to which the Junior Subordinated Debentures were issued. The Loan constitutes “Senior Indebtedness” or “Senior Debt”,
as applicable, and as defined in each such applicable indenture. 
 4.5 Title to Properties. 

4.5.1 Owned Property. Borrower and the Subsidiaries have, respectively, good and marketable fee title to all the Property
reflected in the Borrower Financial Statements, and good and marketable title to all other property and assets reflected in the Borrower Financial Statements, except for (a) real property and other assets acquired and/or being acquired from
debtors in full or partial satisfaction of obligations owed to Subsidiary Bank, (b) property or other assets leased by Borrower or any Subsidiary, and (c) property and assets sold or otherwise disposed of for their fair market value
subsequent to the date of the Borrower Financial Statements. Except for property and other assets acquired and/or being acquired from debtors in 

  
 24 









 
full or partial satisfaction of obligations owed to Subsidiary Bank and property or other assets leased by Borrower or any Subsidiary, all property and assets of any kind (real or personal,
tangible or intangible) of Borrower and any Subsidiary are free from any liens, encumbrances or defects in title, except for (a) Permitted Liens and (b) such defects in title as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as identified in Section 4.5.1 of the Disclosure Schedule or as may be filed in connection with any Permitted Lien, no financing statement under the UCC that names Borrower or Subsidiary Bank as debtor has been filed and
neither Borrower nor Subsidiary Bank has signed any financing statement or any pledge agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file any such financing statement. 
 4.5.2 Leased Property. For Property leased by Borrower or any Subsidiary and necessary in the ordinary course of the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, Borrower and each such
Subsidiary enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession under all of such Leases under which they are operating, all of which permit the customary operations of Borrower and any Subsidiary, as applicable. None of such Leases is in material default that
could have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.6 No Material Adverse Change. Since the Borrower 2011 Financial
Statements Date, the business, operations, properties and assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, have not been materially and adversely affected in any way. 

4.7 Legal Matters. 
 4.7.1 Compliance with Law. Borrower and the Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government, or any
instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective properties, except where any such failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 4.7.2 Taxes. Borrower and each Subsidiary have filed all United States income tax returns and
all material state and municipal tax returns that are required to be filed, and have paid, or made adequate provision for the payment of, all material taxes that have become due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by
Borrower or any Subsidiary, prior to delinquency, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. To the knowledge of Borrower there is not pending any audit, assessment or other
proposed action or inquiry of the Internal Revenue Service with respect to any material United States income tax liability of Borrower or any Subsidiary. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and each Subsidiary have withheld amounts from their
employees, shareholders or holders of public deposit accounts and have complied in all material respects with the tax withholding provisions of applicable federal, state and local laws and each has filed all federal, state and material local returns
and reports for all years for which any such return or report would be due with respect to employee income tax withholding, social security, unemployment taxes, income and other taxes and all payments or deposits with respect to such taxes have been
made in all material respects within the time period required by law. 
 4.7.3 Regulatory Enforcement Actions.

4.7.4 Pending Litigation. Except as otherwise disclosed in Section 4.7.4 of the Disclosure Schedule and in
Borrower’s most recent annual report filed on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or written agreements pending, or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in writing, against Borrower or any
Subsidiary at law or in equity or before or by any federal, state, municipal, or other governmental department, commission, board, or other administrative agency, domestic or foreign, that, either separately or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to be determined adversely and, if so determined, to have a Material Adverse Effect; and none of Borrower or any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, or decree of, or any written agreement with, any court,
commission, board or agency, domestic or foreign, if and to the extent that, either separately or in the aggregate, such default(s) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

4.7.5 RICO. There are no suits, actions or proceedings pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against
Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of the principals thereof, under a RICO Related Law. 
 4.7.6 ERISA. All
Employee Benefit Plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) established or maintained by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate or to which Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate contributes are in material compliance with applicable requirements of ERISA,
and are in material compliance with applicable requirements (including qualification and non-discrimination requirements) of the Code for obtaining the tax benefits the Code thereupon permits with respect to such plans. Each Employee Benefit Plan
which is a group health plan (within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) complies with and has been maintained and operated in material compliance with each of the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code. Neither Borrower nor
any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make on a timely basis any required contributions or to pay on a timely basis any amounts with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or ERISA or any other applicable law. No “reportable event” or non-exempt
“prohibited transaction,” as defined in ERISA, has occurred and is continuing as to any Employee Benefit Plan and no excise taxes have been incurred or security is required with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan. No Employee Benefit

plan were terminated. All Employee Benefit Plans are funded in accordance with Section 412 of the Code (if applicable). There would be no obligations under Title IV of ERISA relating to any Employee Benefit Plan that is a multiemployer plan if
any such plan were terminated or if Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate withdrew from any such plan. Except as set forth in Section 4.7.6 of the Disclosure Schedule, and except as required by Section 4980B of the Code or applicable
state insurance laws, neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has promised any employee medical coverage after termination of employment, or promised medical coverage to any former employee or other individual not employed by Borrower or any ERISA

bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other proceeding or any dissolution, liquidation, or conservatorship proceeding is instituted by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code Provisions, or if Borrower is enjoined, restrained or in
any way prevented from conducting all or any material part of its business under the Bankruptcy Code Provisions; or Subsidiary Bank applies for, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a receiver for itself, or in the absence of such
application, consent or acquiescence, a receiver is appointed for Subsidiary Bank; or

 8.1.2 Lender’s Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Lender shall have the right, if such Event of Default shall then be continuing, in addition to all the remedies conferred upon Lender by law or equity or the terms of any Transaction Document, to do any or all of the following, concurrently or
successively, without notice to Borrower; provided, however, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default indentified in any of Sections 8.1.1.14 through 8.1.1.16, the unpaid principal amount under the Loan, all interest and all other
amounts outstanding under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall automatically become due and payable without further act of Lender: 
 8.1.2.1. Declare the Note to be, and it shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived,
anything contained herein or in the Note to the contrary notwithstanding; or 
 8.1.2.2. Terminate Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement to extend credit of any kind or to make any disbursement, whereupon the commitment and obligation of Lender to extend credit or to make disbursements hereunder shall terminate. 

8.2 Protective Advances. If an Event of Default occurs, Lender may (but shall in no event be required to) cure any such
Event of Default and any amounts expended by Lender in so doing, as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, shall (a) be deemed advanced by Lender under an obligation to do so regardless of the identity of the person or
persons to whom such funds are furnished, (b) constitute additional advances hereunder, the payment of which is additional indebtedness evidenced by the Note, and (c) become due and owing, at Lender’s demand, with interest accruing
from the date of disbursement thereof until fully paid at the Default Rate. 
 8.3 Other Remedies. Nothing in this
Article 8 is intended to restrict Lender’s rights under any of the other Transaction Documents, other related documents, or at law or in equity, and Lender may exercise such rights and remedies as and when they are available. 

8.4 No Lender Liability. To the extent permitted by law, Lender shall have no liability for any loss, damage, injury, cost
or expense resulting from any action or omission by it, or any of its representatives, which was taken, omitted or made in good faith. 
 8.5 Lender’s Fees and Expenses. In case of any Event of Default hereunder, Borrower shall pay Lender’s fees and expenses including attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection
with the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or other related documents. 
 9. MISCELLANEOUS.

 9.1 Release; Indemnification. Borrower hereby releases Lender from any and all causes of action, claims or
rights which Borrower may now or hereafter have for, or which may arise from, any loss or damage caused by or resulting from (a) any failure of Lender to protect, 

  
 40 









 
enforce or collect in whole or in part any of the Loan, (b) any other act or omission to act on the part of Lender, its officers, agents or employees, except in each instance for those
caused by Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender and its Affiliates (including their respective officers, directors, agents and employees) harmless from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, fines, demands, litigation, defenses, costs, judgments, suits, proceedings, actual damages, disbursements or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) that
may at any time be either directly or indirectly imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates in connection with, arising from or relating to Borrower’s breach of any covenant, obligation,
agreement, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or arising from or relating to any willful misconduct by Borrower, except to the extent Borrower establishes that the loss, liability, obligations,
penalty, claim, fine, demand, litigation, defense, cost, judgment, suit, proceeding, damage, disbursement or expense arose solely by reason of Lender’s or any of Lender’s Affiliates’ willful misconduct or gross negligence. 

9.2 Assignment and Participation. Lender may pledge or otherwise hypothecate all or any portion of this Agreement or grant
participations herein (provided Lender acts as agent for any participants, except as provided below) or in any of its rights and security hereunder. Lender may also assign all or any part of the Loan and Lender’s obligations in connection
therewith to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions or investors (each an “Assignee Lender”). Lender shall provide Borrower notice at least 10 days in advance of the identity of any proposed Assignee Lender.
Upon delivery to Borrower of an executed copy of the Assignee Lender’s assignment and acceptance (a) each such Assignee Lender shall be deemed to be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
and delegated to such Assignee Lender, such Assignee Lender shall have the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and other related documents (b) Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (including the obligation to fund the Assignee Lender’s share of the Loan) and other related documents.
Within five Business Days after receipt of a copy of the executed assignment and acceptance document, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a new promissory note, as applicable (for delivery to the relevant Assignee Lender), in the form of
Exhibit A hereto but substituting Assignee Lender’s name and evidencing such Assignee Lender’s assigned portion of the Loan and a replacement promissory note, as applicable, in the principal amount of the Loan retained by Lender (such
promissory note to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the promissory note then held by Lender). The replacement promissory note shall be dated the date of the predecessor promissory note. Lender shall mark the predecessor promissory note
“exchanged” and deliver it to Borrower. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor promissory note evidenced by the new promissory note held by the Assignee Lender, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the assignment
agreement between Lender and to the Assignee Lender. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor promissory note evidenced by the replacement promissory note held by Lender shall be paid to Lender. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be so
apportioned between the promissory note and paid at the same time or times provided in the predecessor promissory note and in this Agreement. Borrower authorizes Lender to disclose to any prospective Assignee Lender any financial or other
information pertaining to Borrower or the Loan so long as such Assignee Lender has agreed to be bound by 

  
 41 









 
the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of
this Agreement, including this Section 9.2, Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Transaction Documents and other related documents to a Federal Reserve
Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from its obligations thereunder. 
 9.3 Prohibition
on Assignment. Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement, either voluntarily or, except to the extent permitted by the terms of Section 5.2.1 of this Agreement, by operation of law.

 9.4 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. 

9.5 No Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement herein contained shall be effective
unless set forth in a writing signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising, by Lender or any holder of the Note, of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law. The rights and
remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or equity. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall, in itself, entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Lender to or of any breach or default by Borrower in
the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Borrower hereunder. Failure on the part of Lender to
complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare a Default or an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on
account of any breach or default by Borrower. 
 9.6 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is
unenforceable or invalid or contrary to law, or the inclusion of which would adversely affect the validity, legality or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be of no effect and, in such case, all the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall subsist and be fully effective according to the tenor of this Agreement the same as though any such invalid portion had never been included herein. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if any provisions of this Agreement or
the application thereof are held invalid or unenforceable only as to particular persons or situations, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or situations other than those to which it shall have been held
invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, but shall continue valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 9.7 Usury; Revival of Liabilities. All agreements between Borrower and Lender (including this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents) are expressly limited so that in no event
whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the amount collectible at the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of the State of New 

  
 42 









 
York. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any other Transaction Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve
exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law that a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the amount collectible at the highest lawful rate of
interest permissible under the laws of the State of New York, and if for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount that would be deemed unlawful, such interest shall be applied to the payment of the last maturing
installment or installments of the indebtedness to Lender (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest. To the extent that Lender received any payment on account of Borrower’s Liabilities and any such payment(s)
and/or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment(s) or proceeds received, Borrower’s Liabilities or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) and/or
proceeds had not been received by Lender and applied on account of Borrower’s Liabilities; provided, however, if Lender successfully contests any such invalidation, declaration, set aside, subordination or other order to pay any such payment
and/or proceeds to any third party, the revived Borrower’s Liabilities shall be deemed satisfied. 
 9.8 Notices and
Electronic Communications. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be deemed to have been given if in writing and if delivered personally, or if mailed, postage prepaid, by United States
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or if delivered by a responsible overnight courier, addressed:

 9.9
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns except that, unless Lender consents in writing, no assignment made by Borrower in violation of this
Agreement shall confer any rights on any assignee of Borrower. 
 9.10 No Joint Venture. Nothing contained herein
or in any document executed pursuant hereto and no action or inaction whatsoever on the part of Lender, shall be deemed to make Lender a partner or joint venturer with Borrower. 

9.11 Brokerage Commissions. Lender and Borrower each represent and warrant to the other that they have not dealt with any
brokers or finders to whom a brokerage commission or finders fee is due in connection with the Loan. Each of Lender and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the other from all loss, cost and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) arising out of a breach of its representation and warranty set forth in this Section 9.11. The provisions of this Section 9.11 shall survive the Closing and the termination of this Agreement. 

9.12 Publicity. Other than disclosures required by applicable law, neither party shall publicize the Loan without the prior
written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 9.13
Documentation. All documents and other matters required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to be submitted or furnished to Lender shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender. 

9.14 Additional Assurances; Right of Set-off. Borrower agrees that, at any time or from time to time, upon the written
request of Lender, it will execute all such further documents and do all such other acts and things as Lender may reasonably request to effectuate the transaction herein contemplated. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and any and all other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender to or
for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of Borrower’s Liabilities or obligations to Lender pursuant to the Transaction Documents irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder.
Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Lender under this
Section 9.14 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that Lender may have. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall impair the right of Lender to exercise
any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have against Borrower and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of Borrower unrelated to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. 

  
 45 









 9.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule and Exhibits
hereto constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified or amended in any manner other than by supplemental written agreement executed by the parties hereto. Neither party,

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE 
  

			
	$25,000,000.00	  	New York, New York
		  	Date:  June 15, 2012

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PINNACLE FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC., a Tennessee corporation
(“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, and any holder hereof from time to time (“Lender”), at such place as may be designated in writing by
Lender, the principal sum of TWENTY-FIVE MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($25,000,000.00) (or so much thereof that has been advanced and remains outstanding), with interest thereon as hereinafter provided. This note (this “Note”) is
issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender, as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement. 
 Interest shall accrue
on all sums as advanced and outstanding from time to time under this Note and Loan Agreement as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Such interest shall be due and payable as set forth in the Loan Agreement. 

The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date. Additional principal payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement. 
 This Note is
issued pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of this Note together with all accrued interest thereon may, at the option of the holder hereof, immediately become due and
payable on demand; provided, however, that if any document related to this Note provides for automatic acceleration of payment of sums owing hereunder, all sums owing hereunder shall be automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms of
that document. 
 Unless otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, all payments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note shall be first applied to the payment of costs and expenses of Lender which are due and payable, then to past-due interest on the unpaid principal balance and the remainder to principal. 

This Note may be prepaid only upon those terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. 

From and after the Maturity Date, or such earlier date as all sums owing on this Note become due and payable by acceleration or
otherwise, or after the occurrence of an Event of Default as provided in the Loan Agreement, interest shall be computed on all amounts then due and payable under this Note at the Default Rate as provided in the Loan Agreement. 

If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Note or any of the other Transaction Documents, or as a
consequence of any Default or Event of Default, 

  
 A-1









 
with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, then Borrower shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand all attorneys’ fees and expenses, together with interest thereon from
the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance owing hereunder as if such unpaid attorneys’ fees and expenses had been added to the principal. 

No previous waiver and no failure or delay by Lender or Borrower in acting with respect to the terms of this Note or any of the other
Transaction Documents shall constitute a waiver of any breach, default or failure of condition under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. A waiver of any term of this Note or any of the other Transaction Documents
or of any of the obligations secured thereby must be made in writing and shall be limited to the express written terms of such waiver. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms of this Note and the terms of any other document related to
the Loan evidenced by this Note, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall prevail. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the Loan
Agreement, Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of default or delinquency, notice of acceleration, notice of protest and nonpayment, notice of costs, expenses or losses and interest thereon, notice of late
charges, and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under this Note or in proceeding against any of the rights or interests in or to properties securing payment of this Note. In addition, Borrower expressly agrees that this Note
and any payment coming due hereunder may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of any such party hereunder. 
 Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that federal laws
preempt the laws of the State of New York, and all persons and entities in any manner obligated under this Note consent to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State court having situs in New York, New York and having proper venue, and also consent to
service of process by any means authorized by New York or Federal law. Any reference contained herein to attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be deemed to be to reasonable fees and expenses and to include all reasonable fees and expenses of
third-party attorneys and the reasonable fees and expenses of any other experts or consultants. 
 All agreements between
Borrower and Lender (including this Note and the Loan Agreement, and any other documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, if any) are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to
be paid to Lender exceed the amount collectible at the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, the Loan Agreement or any other documents securing
all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then,
ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under such applicable laws, and if, for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount that would be deemed
unlawful under such applicable law, such interest shall be automatically applied to the payment of the principal of this Note (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest or refunded to Borrower if such principal has been
paid in full.
