	$22,500,000	 	June 29, 2011	 	April 1, 2015

 On or before the Maturity Date set forth above, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned promise(s) to pay to
the order of COMERICA BANK (herein called “Bank”), at any office of the Bank in the State of Michigan, the principal sum of TWENTY-TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($22,500,000), or so much of said sum as has been advanced and is
then outstanding under this Note, together with interest thereon as hereinafter set forth. 
 This Note is a note under which
Advances, repayments and re-Advances may be made from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note. AT NO TIME SHALL THE BANK BE UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO MAKE ANY ADVANCES TO THE UNDERSIGNED PURSUANT TO THIS NOTE (NOTWITHSTANDING
ANYTHING EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IN THIS NOTE OR ELSEWHERE TO THE CONTRARY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMIT, IF THE BANK SUPPLIES THE UNDERSIGNED WITH A BORROWING FORMULA) FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT (OR EVENT WHICH, WITH THE GIVING OF NOTICE OR
PASSAGE OF TIME, OR BOTH, WOULD CONSTITUTE A DEFAULT) AND THE BANK, AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT (OR EVENT WHICH, WITH THE GIVING OF NOTICE OR PASSAGE OF TIME, OR BOTH, WOULD CONSTITUTE A DEFAULT), WITHOUT
NOTICE, AND IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, MAY REFUSE TO MAKE ADVANCES TO THE UNDERSIGNED WITHOUT INCURRING ANY LIABILITY DUE TO THIS REFUSAL AND WITHOUT AFFECTING THE UNDERSIGNED’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS NOTE FOR ANY AND ALL AMOUNTS ADVANCED.

 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Note, each of the Advances made hereunder shall bear interest at the LIBOR-based
Rate plus the Applicable Margin or the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin, as elected by the undersigned or as otherwise determined under this Note. 
 Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid balance of each outstanding Advance hereunder shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month, until maturity (whether as stated
herein, by acceleration, or otherwise). Interest accruing on the basis of the Prime Referenced Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation, effect
shall be given to any change in the Applicable Interest Rate as a result of any change in the Prime Referenced Rate on the date of each such change. Interest accruing on the basis of the LIBOR-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day
year and shall be assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto but not including the last day thereof. 
 From and after the occurrence of any Default hereunder, and so long as any such Default remains unremedied or uncured thereafter, the Indebtedness outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at a per
annum rate of three percent (3%) above the otherwise Applicable Interest Rate(s), which interest shall be payable upon demand. In addition to the foregoing, a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of each late payment hereunder
may be charged on any payment not received by Bank within ten (10) calendar days 







 
after the payment due date therefor, but acceptance of payment of any such charge shall not constitute a waiver of any Default hereunder. 

In no event shall the interest payable under this Note at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. 

The amount and date of each Advance, its Applicable Interest Rate, its Interest Period, if applicable, and the amount and date of any
repayment shall be noted on Bank’s records, which records shall be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, however, any failure by Bank to make any such notation, or any error in any such notation, shall not relieve the
undersigned of its/their obligations to repay Bank all amounts payable by the undersigned to Bank under or pursuant to this Note, when due in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 The undersigned may request an Advance hereunder, including the refunding of an outstanding Advance as the same type of Advance or the conversion of an outstanding Advance to another type of Advance, upon
the delivery to Bank of a Request for Advance executed by the undersigned, subject to the following: (a) no Default, or any condition or event which, with the giving of notice or the running of time, or both, would constitute a Default, shall
have occurred and be continuing or exist under this Note; (b) each such Request for Advance shall set forth the information required on the Request for Advance form annexed hereto as Exhibit “A”; (c) each such Request for Advance
shall be delivered to Bank by 11:00 a.m. (Detroit, Michigan time) on the proposed date of the requested Advance; (d) the principal amount of each LIBOR-based Advance shall be at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (or such
lesser amount as is acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion); (e) the proposed date of any refunding of any outstanding LIBOR-based Advance as another LIBOR-based Advance or the conversion of any outstanding LIBOR-based Advance to another
type of Advance shall only be on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such outstanding LIBOR-based Advance; (f) after giving effect to such Advance, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Advances outstanding under this Note
shall not exceed the face amount of this Note; and (g) a Request for Advance, once delivered to Bank, shall not be revocable by the undersigned; provided, however, as aforesaid, Bank shall not be obligated to make any Advance under this Note.

 Advances hereunder may be requested in the undersigned’s discretion by telephonic notice to Bank. Any Advance requested
by telephonic notice shall be confirmed by the undersigned that same day by submission to Bank, either by first class mail, facsimile or other means of delivery acceptable to Bank, of the written Request for Advance aforementioned. The undersigned
acknowledge(s) that if Bank makes an Advance based on a telephonic request, it shall be for the undersigned’s convenience and all risks involved in the use of such procedure shall be borne by the undersigned, and the undersigned expressly
agree(s) to indemnify and hold Bank harmless therefor. 
 If, as to any outstanding LIBOR-based Advance, Bank shall not receive
a timely Request for Advance, or telephonic notice, in accordance with the foregoing requesting the refunding or continuation of such Advance as another LIBOR-based Advance for a specified Interest Period or the conversion of such Advance to a
Prime-based Advance, effective as of the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such outstanding LIBOR-based Advance, and as of the last day of each succeeding Interest Period, the principal amount of such Advance which is not then repaid
shall be automatically refunded or continued as a LIBOR-based Advance having an Interest Period equal to the same period of time as the Interest Period then ending for such outstanding LIBOR-based Advance, unless the undersigned is/are not entitled
to request LIBOR-based Advances hereunder or otherwise elect the LIBOR-based Rate as the basis for the Applicable Interest Rate for the principal Indebtedness outstanding hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Note, or the LIBOR-based Rate
is not otherwise available to the undersigned as the basis for the Applicable Interest Rate hereunder for the principal 

  
 2 








 
Indebtedness outstanding hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Note, in which case, the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall be the Applicable Interest Rate hereunder
in respect of such Indebtedness for such period, subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of this Note. The foregoing shall not in any way whatsoever limit or otherwise affect any of Bank’s rights or remedies under this Note upon the
occurrence of any Default hereunder, or any condition or event which, with the giving of notice or the running of time, or both, would constitute a Default. 
 Subject to the definition of an “Interest Period” hereunder, in the event that any payment under this Note becomes due and payable on any day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, to the extent applicable, interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon during such extension at the rates set forth in this Note. 

All payments to be made by the undersigned to Bank under or pursuant to this Note shall be in immediately available United States funds,
without setoff or counterclaim, and in the event that any payments submitted hereunder are in funds not available until collected, said payments shall continue to bear interest until collected. 

If the undersigned make(s) any payment of principal with respect to any LIBOR-based Advance on any day other than the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntarily, by acceleration, required payment or otherwise), or if the undersigned fail(s) to borrow any LIBOR-based Advance after notice has been given by the undersigned (or any of them) to Bank in
accordance with the terms of this Note requesting such Advance, or if the undersigned fail(s) to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of a LIBOR-based Advance when due, the undersigned shall reimburse Bank, on demand, for any
resulting loss, cost or expense incurred by Bank as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying deposits from third parties, whether or not Bank shall
have funded or committed to fund such Advance. Such amount payable by the undersigned to Bank may include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so
prepaid, or not so borrowed, refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, refund or convert, through the last day of the relevant Interest Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said
Advance(s) provided under this Note, over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by Bank) which would have accrued to Bank on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the
interbank eurodollar market. Calculation of any amounts payable to Bank under this paragraph shall be made as though Bank shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant LIBOR-based Advance through the purchase of an underlying deposit
in an amount equal to the amount of such Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that Bank may fund any LIBOR-based Advance in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be
utilized only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. Upon the written request of the undersigned, Bank shall deliver to the undersigned a certificate setting forth the basis for determining such losses, costs and
expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest error. The undersigned may prepay all or part of the outstanding balance of any Prime-based Advance under this Note or any Indebtedness hereunder which is bearing
interest based upon the Prime Referenced Rate at any such time without premium or penalty. Any prepayment hereunder shall also be accompanied by the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid. 

For any LIBOR-based Advance, if Bank shall designate a LIBOR Lending Office which maintains books separate from those of the rest of
Bank, Bank shall have the option of maintaining and carrying such Advance on the books of such LIBOR Lending Office. 

  
 3 








 If, at any time, Bank determines that, (a) Bank is unable to determine or ascertain the
LIBOR-based Rate, or (b) by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars in the applicable amounts or for the relative maturities are not being offered to Bank for any
applicable Advance or Interest Period, or (c) the LIBOR-based Rate plus the Applicable Margin will not accurately or fairly cover or reflect the cost to Bank of maintaining any of the Indebtedness under this Note based upon the LIBOR-based
Rate, then Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the undersigned. Thereafter, until Bank notifies the undersigned that such conditions or circumstances no longer exist, the right of the undersigned to request a LIBOR-based Advance and to
convert an Advance to or refund an Advance as a LIBOR-based Advance shall be suspended, and the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall be the Applicable Interest Rate for all Indebtedness hereunder during such period of time.

 If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) to make or maintain any Advance with interest based upon the LIBOR-based Rate, Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the undersigned.
Thereafter, (a) until Bank notifies the undersigned that such conditions or circumstances no longer exist, the right of the undersigned to request a LIBOR-based Advance and to convert an Advance to or refund an Advance as a LIBOR-based Advance
shall be suspended, and thereafter, the undersigned may select only the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin as the Applicable Interest Rate for the Indebtedness hereunder, and (b) if Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain an
outstanding LIBOR-based Advance to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the Prime Referenced Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall be the Applicable Interest Rate for the remainder of such Interest Period with respect to
such outstanding Advance. 
 If the adoption after the date hereof, or any change after the date hereof in, any applicable law,
rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof: (a) shall subject Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this
Note or any Indebtedness hereunder, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) of the principal of or interest under this Note or any other amounts due under this Note in respect thereof (except for
changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which Bank’s principal executive office or LIBOR Lending Office is located); or (b) shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank
(or its LIBOR Lending Office), or shall impose on Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting this Note or the Indebtedness hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to Bank of maintaining any part of the Indebtedness hereunder or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank under this Note by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then the undersigned shall pay to Bank,
within fifteen (15) days of the undersigned’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such compensation, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate of Bank, prepared
in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to the undersigned, setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error. 

  
 4 








 In the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or
foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with
any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk-based capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank (or any
corporation controlling Bank), and Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or the maintaining of any Indebtedness hereunder, and such increase has the effect of
reducing the rate of return on Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or the maintaining of such Indebtedness hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or such controlling corporation)
could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then the undersigned shall pay to Bank, within fifteen (15) days of the undersigned’s receipt of written notice from
Bank demanding such compensation, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate Bank (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which Bank reasonably determines to be allocable to the
existence of any obligations of the Bank hereunder or to maintaining any Indebtedness hereunder. A certificate of Bank as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by the Bank and submitted by Bank to the
undersigned, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. 
 This Note and any other indebtedness and
liabilities of any kind of the undersigned (or any of them) to the Bank, and any and all modifications, renewals or extensions of it, whether joint or several, contingent or absolute, now existing or later arising, and however evidenced and whether
incurred voluntarily or involuntarily, known or unknown, or originally payable to the Bank or to a third party and subsequently acquired by Bank including, without limitation, any late charges; loan fees or charges; overdraft indebtedness; costs
incurred by Bank in establishing, determining, continuing or defending the validity or priority of any security interest, pledge or other lien or in pursuing any of its rights or remedies under any loan document (or otherwise) or in connection with
any proceeding involving the Bank as a result of any financial accommodation to the undersigned (or any of them); and reasonable costs and expenses of attorneys and paralegals, whether inside or outside counsel is used, and whether any suit or other
action is instituted, and to court costs if suit or action is instituted, and whether any such fees, costs or expenses are incurred at the trial court level or on appeal, in bankruptcy, in administrative proceedings, in probate proceedings or
otherwise (collectively “Indebtedness”) are secured by and the Bank is granted a security interest in and lien upon all items deposited in any account of any of the undersigned with the Bank and by all proceeds of these items (cash or
otherwise), all account balances of any of the undersigned from time to time with the Bank, by all property of any of the undersigned from time to time in the possession of the Bank and by any other collateral, rights and properties described in
each and every deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, assignment and other security or collateral agreement which has been, or will at any time(s) later be, executed by any (or all) of the undersigned to or for the benefit of the Bank
(collectively “Collateral”). Notwithstanding the above, (i) to the extent that any portion of the Indebtedness is a consumer loan, that portion shall not be secured by any deed of trust or mortgage on or other security interest in any
of the undersigned’s principal dwelling or in any of the undersigned’s real property which is not a purchase money security interest as to that portion, unless expressly provided to the contrary in another place, or (ii) if the
undersigned (or any of them) has (have) given or give(s) Bank a deed of trust or mortgage covering California real property, that deed of trust or mortgage shall not secure this Note or any other indebtedness of the undersigned (or any of them),
unless expressly provided to the contrary in another place, or (iii) if the undersigned (or any of them) has (have) given or give(s) the Bank a deed of trust or mortgage covering real property which, under Texas law, constitutes the homestead
of such person, that deed of trust or mortgage shall not secure this Note or any other indebtedness of the undersigned (or any of them) unless expressly provided to the contrary in another place. 

  
 5 








 Upon the occurrence and at any time during the continuance or existence a Default, Bank may,
at its option and without prior notice to the undersigned (or any of them), declare any or all of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable (notwithstanding any provisions contained in the evidence of it to the contrary), sell or liquidate
all or any portion of the Collateral, set off against the Indebtedness any amounts owing by the Bank to the undersigned (or any of them), charge interest at the default rate provided in the document evidencing the relevant Indebtedness and exercise
