 AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES 
 Section 2.01. The Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to the Borrower
from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 1 hereto (as amended from time to time) or, if 

  

 11 








 
such Lender has entered into any Assignment and Acceptance, set forth for such Lender in the Register maintained by Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c),
as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.04 (such Lender’s “Commitment”). Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of
Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay pursuant to
Section 2.09 and reborrow under this Section 2.01. 
 Section 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Each Borrowing shall
be made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or the first Business Day prior to the
date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Agent which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of
Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing or by telecopier, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising
such Borrowing (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time)
on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such
funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02. 
 (b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any
Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.11 and (ii) there may not be more than
ten separate Borrowings. 
 (c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that
the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date
specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation
or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. 
 (d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent
such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the 

  

 12 








 
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such
Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid
to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 
 Section 2.03. Fees. Upfront Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent a fee equal to 0.125% of the aggregate Commitment of the Lenders. 
 Section 2.04. Termination or Reduction of the Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to
the Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the Commitment of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in
excess thereof. 
 Section 2.05. Repayment. The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances in 12 quarterly consecutive installments, on the last day of March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2009, each of the first 11 of such installments shall be in an
amount equal to 1/20 of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances on September 30, 2009 with the unpaid aggregate principal amount of the Advances payable in full on June 30, 2012, and with each such payment to include all
accrued interest on the Advances. 
 Section 2.06. Interest. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest
on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 
 (i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum
of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the first day of each March, June, September and December and on the date such Base Rate
Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 
 (ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a
Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from
time to time, payable in arrears on 

  

 13 








 
the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest
Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 
 (b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall require the Borrower to pay interest
(“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 4% per
annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid
when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 4% per annum above the rate per
annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above; provided, however, that following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not
previously required by the Agent. 
 Section 2.07. Interest Rate Determination. (a) The Agent shall give prompt notice to
the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.06(a)(i) or (ii). 
 (b)
If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or
maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then
existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 (c) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any
Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances
will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances. 
 (d) On the date on
which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

 (e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on
the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended. 
  

 14 








 Section 2.08. Optional Conversion of Advances. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon
notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.11, Convert all Advances of one Type comprising
the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion
of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under
Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate
Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 
 Section 2.09. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s (or, in the case of Advances consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, three Business Days’)
notice to the Agent, stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole
or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c). 
 (b) Mandatory. On the effective date of the Merger, the Borrower shall pay the principal amount of all unpaid Advances, all accrued interest
thereon and all other amounts owing under the Loan Documents. 
 Section 2.10. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either
(i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law),
there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.10 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other
Taxes (as to which Section 2.13 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is
organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, within 15 days of receipt of written demand from such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent
for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs under this Section 2.10(a) arising more than
180 days prior to receipt by the Borrower of the demand from the affected 

  

 15 








 
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(a). A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender,
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or
regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy
of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such
circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the
Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 Section 2.11. Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental
authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (a) each Eurodollar Rate
Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and
the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 Section 2.12. Payments and Computations.
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Agent in same day funds. The
Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.13 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their
respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the
Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for
periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent
payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due. 
  

 16 








 (c) All computations of interest and fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days,
for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if
such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 
 (e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date
an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 
 Section 2.13. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under the
Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.12 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income
taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed
on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect
of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or any other
documents to be delivered hereunder to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 2.13) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 
  

 17 








 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other
excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This
indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a
receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder by or on behalf of the
Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or
shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms
“United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 (e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the
Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so),
shall provide each of the Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from
or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest
withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser
rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the
Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may
be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States 

  

 18 








 
withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection
(e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, that the Lender reasonably considers to be
confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. 
 (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.13(e) (other than if such failure is due
to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is
not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.13(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however,
that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such
Taxes. 
 Section 2.14. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.13 or 8.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders,
such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the
extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing
Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. 
 Section 2.15. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it
shall use such proceeds) to provide for the general corporate purpose needs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including repayment of Debt and acquisitions.

fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be
required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. 
 Section 7.02. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or
employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the
foregoing, the Agent: (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee,
as assignee, as provided in Section 8.07; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to
be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or
representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of
this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or the existence at any time of any Default or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier) believed by it to be genuine and
signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 
 Section 7.03. Wells Fargo and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the
Advances made by it and the Note issued to it, Wells Fargo shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking
engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if Wells Fargo were not the Agent and
without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was
obtained or received in any capacity other than as Agent. 
 Section 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it 

  

 32 








 
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. 
 Section 7.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to
the respective principal amounts of the Notes then held by each of them (or if no Notes are at the time outstanding or if any Notes are held by Persons that are not Lenders, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs
resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out of pocket expenses (including counsel fees)
incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies
whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party. 
 Section 7.06.
Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice
of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America
or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all
the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document or of any Exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. 

(b) The Borrower agrees that the Agent may make any material delivered by the Borrower to the Agent, as well as any amendments, waivers, consents, and
other written information, documents, instruments and other materials relating to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
(collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on any electronic delivery system (which may be provided by the Agent, any Affiliate of the Agent, or any Person that is not an Affiliate of the
Agent), such as 

  

 34 








 
IntraLinks, or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of
material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and
(iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or sequencing of the Communications posted on the Platform. The Agent and its Affiliates expressly disclaim with respect to the
Platform any liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading, delays in posting or delivery, or problems accessing the Communications posted on the Platform and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or liabilities
that may be suffered or incurred in connection with the Platform other than losses, costs, expenses or liabilities arising directly from the Agent’s or any such Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. No warranty of any kind,
express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent or any of its
Affiliates in connection with the Platform. 
 (c) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a
“Notice”) specifying that any Communication has been posted to the Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or other materials comprising such
Communication. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to
ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any such Notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 
 Section 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note or any other Loan Document shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided
by law. 
 Section 8.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, syndication
(including printing, distribution and bank meetings), transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, consultant, and audit expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of external counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and with
respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel
fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel for the Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a). 
  

 35 








 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender and each of their
Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees
and expenses of external counsel incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or
proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) the Notes, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, except to the extent
such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an
investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors,
equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower also agrees not to
assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability arising out
of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances. 
 (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on
the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.07(d) or (e), 2.09 or 2.11, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, the
Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably
incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender
to fund or maintain such Advance. 
 (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements
and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. 
 Section 8.05. Right of Set off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of
the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, 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 and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such
Affiliate to or for the 

  

 36 








 
credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held
by such Lender, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have. 
 Section 8.06. Binding Effect. This
Agreement shall become effective (other than Section 2.01, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01) when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Agent and when
the Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns,
except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders. 
 Section 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all
or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under
this Agreement, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment
of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000, (iii) each such assignment shall be
to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note and (v) each such assignment
(except to an Affiliate of any Lender and except during the continuance of an Event of Default) shall require the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other
than its rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
 (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other
than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, 

  

 37 








 
such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in
or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the
performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with
copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such
assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion
under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (c) The Agent shall maintain at its
address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible
Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance,
(ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to
the Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment
hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered
Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. 
  

 38 








 (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Borrower
or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided,
however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any Note or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent
subject to such participation. 
 (f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or
participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to
any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 

Section 8.08. Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person without
the consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and, as contemplated by Section 8.07(c), to actual or prospective assignees and
participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process and (c) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking.

the State of California.

the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow it to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the Patriot Act. 
  

 39 








 Section 8.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 8.12. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any California State court or federal court of
the United States of America sitting in San Francisco, California, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment,
and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such California State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any California State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE 
  

			
	U.S.$125,000,000	  	Dated: July     , 2007

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, GREATER BAY BANCORP, a California corporation (the
“Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of                          (the
“Lender”) for the account of its Applicable Lending Office (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) the principal sum of U.S.$125,000,000 or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances made by the Lender
to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 20, 2007 among the Borrower, the Lender and certain other lender parties thereto, and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Wells Fargo”), as Agent for the
Lender and such other lenders (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined) on the terms provided in the Credit Agreement. 
 The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in
full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement. 
 Both principal and interest are payable
in lawful money of the United States of America as provided in the Credit Agreement. Each Advance owing to the Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the
Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto which is part of this Promissory Note. 
 This Promissory Note
is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of Advances by the Lender to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the U.S. dollar amount first above mentioned, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Advance being evidenced by this Promissory Note, and (ii) contains provisions for acceleration
of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified.

 EXHIBIT D 
 FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL 
 FOR THE BORROWER 
 [Date] 
 To each of the Lenders party 
 to the Credit Agreement dated 
 as of July     , 2007 among 
 Greater Bay Bancorp, said Lenders and 
 Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, 
 as Agent for said Lenders 
 207 Third Street

 8th Floor 
 San Francisco, CA 94103 
 GREATER BAY BANCORP 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(v) of the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2007 (the “Credit
Agreement”), among Greater Bay Bancorp (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Agent for said Lenders. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein
defined. 
 I am internal General Counsel to the Borrower and in that capacity I have acted as counsel to the Borrower in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement. 
 In that connection, I have examined: 
 (1) The Credit Agreement. 
 (2) The Notes. 
 (3) The Articles of Incorporation of the Borrower and all amendments thereto
(the “Charter”). 
 (4) The by laws of the Borrower and all amendments thereto (the
“By-laws”). 
 (5) A certificate of the Secretary of State of California, dated July __, 2007, attesting to
the continued corporate existence and good standing of the Borrower in that State. 
 In so acting, I have investigated such questions of
law, and I have also examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates and other information, as in my judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable me
to render the opinions expressed below. I have also examined the 

  

 EXHIBIT D-1 








 
originals or copies of the documents listed in a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Borrower, dated the date hereof (the
“Certificate”), certifying that the documents listed therein are all of the indentures, loan or credit agreements, leases, guarantees, mortgages, security agreements, bonds, notes and other agreements or instruments, and all of the
orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees, determinations and awards, that affect or purport to affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Credit Agreement or the Notes and the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement or
the Notes. In addition, I have assumed (i) the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered on behalf of parties thereto, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted
to me as originals or execution copies and (iii) the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, conformed or photostatic copies. 
 My opinions expressed below are limited to the law of the State of California and the Federal law of the United States. 
 Based upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as I have deemed necessary, I am of the following opinion: 
 1. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California.

 2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the Notes, and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated thereby, are within the Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not contravene (i) the Charter or the By laws or (ii) any law, rule or regulation
applicable to the Borrower (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or (iii) any contractual or legal restriction contained in any document listed in the Certificate or, to the best
of my knowledge, contained in any other similar document. The Credit Agreement and the Notes have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower. 
 3. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any
other third party is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the Notes, except as have been obtained or given. 
 4. The Credit Agreement is, and after giving effect to the initial Borrowing, the Notes will be, legal, valid and binding obligations of
the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms. 
 5. To the best of my knowledge,
there are no pending or overtly threatened actions or proceedings against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of
the Credit Agreement, any of the Notes or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or that are likely to have a materially adverse effect upon the financial condition or operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 EXHIBIT D-2 







 The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications: 
 (a) My opinion in paragraph 4 above as to enforceability is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation,
all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally. 
 (b) My
opinion in paragraph 4 above as to enforceability is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). 
 (c) My opinions expressed above are limited to the law of the State of California and the federal law of
the United States, and I do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law. 
 (d) I express no opinion with respect to: 

(i) Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement to the extent that such Section implies that set off may be made without notice;

 (ii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of California wherein any Lender may be located or
wherein enforcement of the Credit Agreement or the Notes may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible; 
 (iii) any provision of any of the Loan Documents purporting to relieve the Agent or any Lender of liability for its own negligence or willful misconduct; 
 (iv) any provision of any of the Loan Documents purporting to define what is commercially reasonable behavior or any provision which is
intended to establish any standard in any Loan Document as the measure of the performance by any party thereto, including without limitation, any party’s obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness or care or the fulfillment of the
duties imposed upon the Agent as a secured party with respect to disposition or redemption of collateral, accounting for surplus proceeds of collateral or accepting collateral in discharge of liabilities; 
 (v) the validity, enforceability or legality of any power of attorney, proxies or agency relationship purported to be created by the Loan
Documents; 
 (vi) the enforceability of provisions of the Loan Documents waiving vaguely or broadly stated rights or unknown
future rights or of provisions stating that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy or that the election of some particular remedy or
remedies does not preclude recourse to one or more others; 
 EXHIBIT D-3 







 (vii) waiver by the Borrower or any guarantor or any pledgor of any statutes of
limitation or right to trial by jury; 
 (viii) provisions of any of the Loan Documents that purport to preserve absolute and
unconditional rights of the Agent and the Lenders and obligations of any of the other parties thereto irrespective of the lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or of unspecified circumstances that would otherwise be available as a
defense to, or discharge the obligors from any such obligation; 
 A copy of this opinion letter may be delivered by any of you to any Person
that becomes a Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any such Lender may rely on the opinions expressed above as if this opinion letter were addressed and delivered to such Lender on the date hereof. 
 This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. This opinion letter may not be relied upon
by you or any future Lender for any other purpose, or relied upon by or provided to any other Person, without my prior written consent. 
 This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof. I expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you of any development or circumstance of any kind, including any change of law or fact, that may occur after the date of this opinion
letter even though such development, circumstance or change may affect the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or any other matter set forth in or relating to this opinion letter. Accordingly, any of you who may rely on this opinion letter at any
future time should seek advice of your counsel as to the proper application of this opinion letter at such time. 
 Very
truly yours,
