 Dear Matt, 

We are delighted to extend to you this offer of employment to be the CEO of Korn Ferry International’s (“Korn Ferry” or the

 Annual Incentive Award 

You will be eligible for an annual incentive award of up to $1,550,000 (cash and LTIP) with a target annual incentive award of $850,000 (cash

30 days following the termination of your employment either by you voluntarily without Good Reason (as defined below) or by Korn Ferry for “Cause” prior to the first anniversary of the

doubt, should your employment with Korn Ferry terminate after the fourth anniversary of your start date you shall not be obligated to repay any amount of the lump sum cash award of $700,000 above;

grant date of the award (as determined by the Compensation Committee) equal to one million four hundred thousand dollars ($1,400,000). Such restricted stock unit award will vest in four equal annual installments on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th anniversaries
of the date of the grant thereof, subject to your continuous active full-time employment with Korn Ferry through each vesting date and the terms and conditions of Korn Ferry’s standard form of restricted stock unit award agreement; and 

(3) a one-time award of restricted stock units subject to performance-based vesting criteria (“Performance Shares”), covering a number of
shares with a value on the grant date of the award (as determined by the Compensation Committee) of one million dollars ($1,000,000), which Performance Shares will be earned at the end of, and based on the firm’s performance during, a
performance period of 3 years starting with Korn Ferry’s fiscal year 2016 (the “Performance Period”) and subject to your continuous employment with Korn Ferry through the vesting date as set forth in Korn Ferry’s standard
form of performance share award agreement. 
 The date of grant of these awards will be the later of the date you commence full-time active employment with
Korn Ferry or the date the awards are approved by the Compensation Committee. All other terms of the awards shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and consistent with Korn Ferry’s equity compensation plan and applicable forms of
award agreement.

 “At will” Employment and Termination of Employment 

Your employment with Korn Ferry will be an employment “at will” and this arrangement may be altered only in writing by the CEO of
Korn Ferry. 
 In the event that your employment with Korn Ferry is terminated (i) by Korn Ferry for any reason other than Cause (as
defined below) and not due to your death or Disability or (ii) by you for Good Reason, and such termination of employment occurs prior to or more than 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below), then Korn Ferry
will pay to you your Accrued Compensation (as defined below), payable within 30 days after your termination (with the payment date during such 30 day period to be determined by Korn Ferry in its sole discretion), and a pro rata portion of the annual
cash incentive award you would have received for the fiscal year in which your employment terminates (based on Korn Ferry’s actual performance over the entire year and the number of days of your actual service to Korn Ferry during such fiscal
year), which pro rata portion will be payable to you at the same time bonuses are paid to executives generally for the applicable fiscal year, and 

(1) Korn Ferry will pay to you the amount in cash equal, in the aggregate, to twelve (12) months of your then current annual base salary,
to be paid in equal monthly installments over a period of twelve (12) months after the date your employment terminates; 
 (2) for up
to eighteen (18) months after such termination, to the extent you and/or your covered dependent(s) continue to participate in Korn Ferry’s group health plan(s) pursuant to COBRA after your termination of employment and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, Korn Ferry will provide reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums paid by you and your covered dependent(s) so that you and your covered dependent(s) enjoy coverage at the same benefit level and to the same extent and for
the same effective contribution, if any, as participation is available to other executive officers of Korn Ferry; 
 (3) outstanding equity
incentive awards (including the one-time time vesting restricted stock unit award mentioned above) held by you (other than any performance shares) and all of your benefits under the Executive Capital Accumulation Plan, if any, at the time of your
termination that would have vested in the twelve (12) months following the date your employment terminates (in each case, as if such incentives and benefits permitted proportionate vesting in monthly increments rather than any longer increment)
will become fully vested as of the date your employment terminates and, to the extent applicable, shall remain exercisable until the date that is the earlier of (x) two (2) years after the date your employment terminates and (y) its
originally scheduled expiration date; and 
 (4) you shall receive a number of performance shares and/or a payout under any long-term
performance-based cash incentive program (as applicable), payable no later than the March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which the applicable performance period ends, equal to the product of (A) the performance shares and/or
cash award that would have been earned if you had served Korn Ferry for the entirety of any open performance period at the time of your termination of employment based upon Korn Ferry’s actual performance during such period, and (B) a
fraction, (x) the numerator of which fraction shall be the sum of (i) the number of days of your employment during any such performance period and (ii) 365 (provided that the numerator shall not exceed the number of days in the
applicable performance period) and (y) the denominator of which fraction shall be the number of days in the applicable performance period (as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee).

 In addition, if your employment with Korn Ferry is terminated (i) by Korn Ferry for any
reason other than Cause and not due to your death or Disability or (ii) by you for Good Reason, and such termination of employment occurs within 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined on Schedule A hereto), then you
will be entitled to the same severance benefits as described above, except that the aggregate payment in clause (1) above shall be in the amount equal to twelve (12) months of your then current annual base salary plus your full target
annual incentive award (and these severance payments will be made in the same form and at such time as set forth in this section in paragraph (1) above), and you will be entitled to vesting of 100% of your outstanding equity incentive awards
and all benefits under the Executive Capital Accumulation Plan, if any, provided that with respect to performance-based awards such vesting will be based on actual performance through the date of the Change in Control. 

In the event that your employment is terminated by Korn Ferry for Cause, by you without Good Reason or as a result of your death or
Disability, you will not be entitled to the severance compensation described above, but instead will only be entitled to payment of the Accrued Compensation through the date your employment terminates, payable within 30 days after your termination
(with the payment date during such 30 day period to be determined by Korn Ferry in its sole discretion). 
 Notwithstanding anything in this
letter to the contrary, other than the payment of the Accrued Compensation through the date of termination of your employment, you shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits hereunder (i) unless and until you execute and
deliver to Korn Ferry, within twenty-one (21) days of the date of termination of your employment, a unilateral general release of all known and unknown claims against Korn Ferry and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates in a
form acceptable to Korn Ferry, and such release becomes fully effective and irrevocable under applicable law, and (ii) unless you are, and continue to be, in compliance with the terms set forth below under the headings “Business
Information and Non-Competition” and “Assignment of Inventions”. In addition, promptly following any termination of your employment (other than by reason of your death), you will deliver to Korn Ferry reasonably satisfactory written
evidence of your resignation from all positions that you may then hold as an employee or officer of Korn Ferry or any affiliate. 
 For purposes of this
letter: 
 “Accrued Compensation” means, as of any date, the amount of any unpaid base salary earned by you through the date of the
termination of your employment and any annual cash incentive award earned by you, but not yet paid, for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the termination of your employment. 

“Cause” shall mean (a) conviction of any felony or other crime involving fraud, dishonesty or acts of moral turpitude or
pleading guilty or nolo contendere to such charges, (b) reckless or willful behavior or conduct that causes or is reasonably likely to cause Korn Ferry material harm or injury or exposes or is reasonably likely to expose Korn Ferry to any
material civil, criminal 

 Mr. Matthew P. Reilly

or administrative liability, (c) any material misrepresentation or false statement made by you in any application for employment, employment history, resume or other document submitted to
Korn Ferry, either before, during or after employment, (d) any material violation of Korn Ferry’s material written policies or procedures including those described under Professional Requirements below, or (e) any of your
representations or warranties set forth in the third paragraph under Professional Requirements below are, or become, untrue or inaccurate. 

“Disability” shall mean you are unable, by reason of mental or physical disability, incapacity or illness, to perform substantially
all of your duties and obligations hereunder, which condition lasts for a continuous period in excess of three (3) months, or an aggregate period in excess of four (4) months in any one (1) calendar year. 

You shall be deemed to have “Good Reason” to terminate your employment hereunder if, without your prior written consent,
(A) Korn Ferry materially reduces your duties or responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer, LTC; (B) Korn Ferry materially reduces your then current base salary or target annual incentive award as set forth herein (in each case, other
than as part of an across-the-board reduction applicable to all “named executive officers” of Korn Ferry (as defined under Item 402 of Regulation S-K and to the extent employed by Korn Ferry at that time)); or (C) Korn Ferry
materially breaches a material term of this letter agreement. Prior to terminating for Good Reason, you are required to provide Korn Ferry with 30 days advance written notice of your intention to terminate employment for Good Reason, and Korn Ferry
shall be permitted to cure any events giving rise to such Good Reason that are subject to being cured during such 30 day period, after which, if such event remains uncured, your employment must terminate within 30 days.

Business Information and Non-Competition 

You acknowledge and agree that, during your employment with Korn Ferry, you will have access to Korn Ferry’s customer information, trade

 You agree that during the term of your employment, except as necessary to carry on the business of Korn Ferry or

effective, must be modified to limit its duration or scope, you and Korn Ferry agree to consider such agreement or covenant to be so modified in its duration and/or scope and such agreement or covenant, and all other agreements and covenants in this
letter, shall otherwise continue in full force and effect. 
 Assignment of Inventions 

Korn Ferry shall be the sole and exclusive owner and the sole author of all of the results and proceeds of your efforts, including, but not
limited to, all ideas or suggestions, whether or not in writing, which are created, suggested and/or obtained by you in the course and scope of your employment with Korn Ferry (collectively, the “Work”), from the moment of their creation
and at every stage of their development, production, or completion. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any element(s) of the Work are not deemed to be a “work made for hire” for Korn Ferry, you hereby irrevocably and
exclusively assign to Korn Ferry (or if any applicable law prohibits or limits such assignment, you hereby exclusively and irrevocably license to Korn Ferry) all right, title and interest in and to such element(s) (including all copyrights therein
and thereto and all renewals and extensions thereof), and all rights to exploit the same throughout the world, in perpetuity (but in any event for not less than the period of copyright and any renewals and extensions thereof), in any and all media,
whether now or hereafter known or devised. You hereby grant to Korn Ferry the right to change, add to, take from, translate, reformat and/or reprocess the Work in any manner Korn Ferry may in its sole discretion determine. To the fullest extent
allowable under any applicable law, you hereby irrevocably waive or assign to Korn Ferry, your so-called “moral rights” or “droit moral.” You agree to execute and deliver to Korn Ferry such assignments, certificates of
engagement or other instruments as Korn Ferry may reasonably require from time to time to evidence Korn Ferry’s ownership of the Work. 

Section 409A Compliance 

Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision herein, to the extent Korn Ferry determines in good faith that (a) one or more of the payments
or benefits received or to be received by you pursuant hereunder in connection with your termination of employment would constitute deferred compensation subject to the rules of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A

 Mr. Matthew P. Reilly 

May 4, 2015 
  Page

(“Section 409A”) and not exempt from Section 409A, and (b) that you are a “specified employee” under Section 409A, then only to the extent required to
avoid your incurrence of any additional tax or interest under Section 409A, such payment or benefit will be delayed until the earlier of your death or the date which is six (6) months after your “separation from service” within
the meaning of Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each right to receive payment hereunder shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, any installment payment shall at all
times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the terms of this letter shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A the regulations
promulgated thereunder so as not to subject you to the payment of any tax penalty or interest which may be imposed by Section 409A of the Code and Korn Ferry shall have no right to accelerate or make any payment hereunder except to the extent
such action would not subject you to the payment of any tax penalty or interest under Section 409A. If, under the terms of this Agreement, it is possible for a payment that is subject to Section 409A to be made in two separate taxable
years, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. 
 To the extent that any reimbursements pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise are
taxable to you, any reimbursement payment due to you shall be paid to you on or before the last calendar day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred; provided, that, you have provided Korn Ferry
written documentation of such expenses in a timely fashion and such expenses otherwise satisfy Korn Ferry’s Company’s expense reimbursement policies. Reimbursements pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise are not subject to liquidation or
exchange for another benefit and the amount of such reimbursements that you receive in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such reimbursements that you receive in any other taxable year. 

Section 280G 
 Anything in this
letter to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or distribution made or provided by Korn Ferry or its affiliated companies to you or for your benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms hereof or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or interest or penalties with
respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then such Payments shall either (a) be delivered in full, or (b) subject
to and in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion thereof will be subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into
account the applicable federal, state or local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax, results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be
subject to the Excise Tax. In the event that any Payments are to be reduced pursuant to this paragraph, then the reduction shall be applied as follows: (i) first, on a pro rata basis to your cash severance payments and your pro rata annual cash
incentive award payment for the year of termination, (ii) second, on a pro rata basis to your equity incentive awards and (iii) third, to your benefits under the Executive Capital Accumulation Plan, if any.

CREDIT TERMS 
 SECTION 2.1
LINE OF CREDIT. 
 (a) Line of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make
Revolving Advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including the Line of Credit Maturity Date, not to exceed at any time the then applicable Line of Credit Amount (the “Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used
to refinance Borrower’s existing Indebtedness with Citibank, N.A. on the Closing Date and otherwise for Borrower’s working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, including Permitted Acquisitions, payment of dividends and
distributions permitted pursuant to Section 6.6(c), Share Repurchases permitted pursuant to Section 6.6(d) and other permitted uses identified herein. Borrower’s obligation to repay Revolving Advances under the Line of
Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note dated as of January 18, 2013 (“Line of Credit Note”), in the form of Exhibit B, all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference. 

(b) Optional Increase in Line of Credit Amount. Subject to Bank approval and provided that (i) no Potential Event of Default
or Event of Default then exists, on any date prior to June 19, 2017, and (ii) no voluntary permanent reductions to the Line of Credit Amount pursuant to Section 2.1(c) have occurred prior to the date of any such request,
Borrower may request in writing that the Line of Credit Amount be increased in an amount which does not result in the principal amount of the Line of Credit being greater than $125,000,000 (“Greenshoe Option”); provided
further that each requested increase to the Line of Credit Amount shall be in a minimum amount of at least $10,000,000 or such smaller amount if such smaller amount is the maximum amount available under the Greenshoe Option at such time. Unless a
shorter time period shall be approved by Bank in writing, any request under this Section shall be submitted by Borrower to Bank not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed increase. Any such request shall be accompanied by a
certificate signed by a Senior Officer of Borrower, stating that no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default exists as of the date of the request or will result from the requested increase. Bank shall notify Borrower within the specified time
period whether or not it agrees to allow the proposed increase; provided, however, that should Bank fail to respond within such time period it shall be deemed to have declined to allow the proposed increase. The rejection of any
proposed increase by Bank shall not affect Borrower’s right to request an increase in the Line of Credit Amount at a future date. In the event Bank agrees to any proposed increase, Borrower shall: (A) issue a replacement Line of Credit
Note to Bank in the principal amount of the increased Line of Credit Amount; (B) execute and deliver to Bank such amendments, if any, to the Loan Documents as Bank may reasonably request relating to such increase; and (C) pay to Bank any
agreed upon loan (or upfront) fee applicable to such increase. 
 (c) Optional Termination of Line of Credit or Reduction in Line of
Credit Amount. Borrower may at any time or from time to time, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to Bank, terminate the Line of Credit or reduce in part the Line of Credit Amount, provided that each partial
reduction of the Line of Credit shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 14 

 (d) Letter of Credit Subfeature. As a subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank agrees
from time to time during the term thereof to issue or cause an affiliate to issue standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower to finance Borrower’s and its Material Subsidiaries’ working capital requirements (each, a
“Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided however, that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed Fifteen Million Dollars
($15,000,000). The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in its sole discretion. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term not to exceed 365 days, as designated by Borrower; provided
however, that no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date subsequent to the maturity date of the Line of Credit. The undrawn amount of all issued Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be available
for borrowings thereunder. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by Bank in connection with the issuance thereof
(collectively, the “Letter of Credit Documents”). Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a Revolving Advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement applicable to the Revolving Advances; provided however, that if Revolving Advances under the Line of Credit are not available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank
the full amount drawn, together with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to Revolving Advances under the Line of Credit. In such event Borrower
agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit any account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any such drawing. 
 (e)
Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of the Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein
or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit shall not at any time exceed the then applicable Line of Credit Amount. 

SECTION 2.2 INTEREST/FEES.

Letter of Credit shall bear interest from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the rate of interest set forth in the Line of Credit Note. 

(b) Computation and Payment. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed. Interest shall be payable
at the times and place set forth in each promissory note or other instrument or document required hereby. 
 (c) Upfront Fee. Borrower
shall pay to Bank a non-refundable upfront fee for the Line of Credit equal to $187,500 (equal to 0.25% of $75,000,000), which fee shall be due and payable in full upon the execution of this Agreement.

360-day year, actual days elapsed) on the average daily unused amount of the Line of Credit (i.e., the then applicable Line of Credit Amount minus Line of Credit Usage), which fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) shall be

Credit equal to two percent (2.00%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) of the face amount thereof, and (ii) fees upon the payment or negotiation of each drawing under any Letter of Credit and fees upon
the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including without limitation, the transfer, amendment or cancellation of any Letter of Credit) determined in accordance with Bank’s standard fees and charges then in
effect for such activity (such fees collectively referred to as the “Letter of Credit Fees”). 
 SECTION 2.3 COLLECTION
OF PAYMENTS. Borrower authorizes Bank to collect all principal and interest due under the Line of Credit, the Unused Commitment Fee, the Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees and expenses charged or otherwise to be reimbursed by Borrower
under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents, by charging Borrower’s deposit account number 4945044147 with Bank, or any other deposit account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the full amount thereof. Should there be insufficient funds
in any such deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower. 

SECTION 2.4 GUARANTIES. The payment and performance of all Indebtedness and other Obligations of Borrower to Bank under the Line of

any certificate, financial statement, insurance policy or other document, Bank shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof,
and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Bank; 
 (b) The
relationship between Borrower and Bank in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of a borrower and lender; Bank shall not under any circumstance be construed to be a partner or
joint venturer of Borrower; Bank shall not under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower as a result of the transactions arising
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; Bank does not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with its property or
the operations of Borrower; Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by Bank in connection with such
matters is solely for the protection of Bank and neither Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and 
 (c) Bank shall not
be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to persons or damage to property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower and Borrower hereby indemnifies and

the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of Bank in any other Loan Document shall
not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.15 ARBITRATION. 

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and
controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the
Loan Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit. 

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in California selected by the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be
conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed
interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional
procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall
control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law. 

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to
(i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) subject to applicable law, exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or
ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any
party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this subsection. 

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be
decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority

  
 32 

 
vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral
attorney licensed in the State of California or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of California, in either case with a minimum of ten years’ experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the
dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only
or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the
substantive law of California and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power
to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Civil Procedure
or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not
constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief. 

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly
limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final
determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available. 

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any
arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney
general capacity. 
 (g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration
proceeding. 
 (h) Real Property Collateral; Judicial Reference. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no dispute shall be
submitted to arbitration if the dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage, lien or security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed
with the arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of California, thereby agreeing that all indebtedness and obligations of the
parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any such dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the dispute shall be referred to a referee in
accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be specifically enforceable in accordance with said Section 638. A referee with the

  
 33 

 
qualifications required herein for arbitrators shall be selected pursuant to the AAA’s selection procedures. Judgment upon the decision rendered by a referee shall be entered in the court in
which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645. 
 (i) Miscellaneous.
To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an
arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for
arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination,
amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

January 18, 2013            

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned KORN/FERRY INTERNATIONAL, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”)
promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) at its office at 1800 Century Park East, Suite 1100, Los Angeles, California 90067, California, or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in
lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on
each advance from the date of its disbursement as set forth herein. 
 DEFINITIONS: 

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the
meaning set forth at the place defined: 
 (a) “Base Rate” means, for any day, a fluctuating rate equal to the highest of:
(i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (ii) a rate determined by Bank to be one and one-half percent (1.50%) above Daily One Month LIBOR in effect on such day, and (iii) the Federal Funds Rate plus one and one-half percent
(1.50%). 
 (b) “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in California are
authorized or required by law to close. 
 (c) “Credit Agreement” means that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank
dated as of January 18, 2013, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. 
 (d) “Daily One Month
LIBOR” means, for any day, the rate of interest equal to LIBOR then in effect for delivery for a one (1) month period. 
 (e)
“Federal Funds Rate” means, for any day, the rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers for the immediately
preceding day, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; provided that if no such rate is so published on any day, then the Federal Funds Rate for such day shall be the rate most recently published. 

(f) “Fixed Rate Term” means a period commencing on a Business Day and continuing for one (1), three (3), six (6) or twelve
(12) months, as designated by Borrower, during which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR; provided however, that no Fixed Rate Term may be selected for a principal
amount less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00); and provided further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall extend beyond the scheduled maturity date hereof. If any Fixed Rate Term would end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such
Fixed Rate Term shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. 

  
 1 

 (g) “LIBOR” means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest
whole 1/8 of 1%) and determined pursuant to the following formula: 
 LIBOR =
                                    Base
LIBOR                                     

                       
 100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage 
 (i) “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by Bank
(A) for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference to LIBOR, as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates of
interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal to the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately equal to the
principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies, or (B) for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference to the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate, as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate in effect from time to
time for delivery of funds for one (1) month in amounts approximately equal to the principal amount of such loans. Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other
market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market. 

(ii) “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or
any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by Wells Fargo Bank for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable term of this Note. 

(h) “Prime Rate” means at any time the rate of interest most recently announced within Bank at its principal office as its Prime
Rate, with the understanding that the Prime Rate is one of Bank’s base rates and serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans making reference thereto, and is evidenced by the recording thereof after
its announcement in such internal publication or publications as Bank may designate. 
 INTEREST: 

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days
elapsed) either (i) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined by Bank to be the Applicable Margin above the Base Rate in effect from time to time, or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be the Applicable Margin above
LIBOR in effect on the first day of the applicable Fixed Rate Term, with Applicable Margin defined according to the table below (and with the term “Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio” as defined in the Credit Agreement): 

  
 2 

							
	 Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
	  	Applicable Margin
(Fixed Rate Term)	 	Applicable Margin
(Base Rate)
	 Less than 0.50 to 1.00
	  	0.50%	 	0.00%
	 Equal to or greater than 0.50 to 1.00 but less than 1.00 to 1.00
	  	1.00%	 	0.00%
	 Equal to or greater than 1.00 to 1.00
	  	1.50%	 	0.25%

 When interest is determined in relation to the Base Rate, each change in the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective
on the date each Base Rate change is announced within Bank. With respect to each LIBOR selection hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount, interest rate and Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto and any payments made
thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted. 

(b) Selection of Interest Rate Options. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, it may be
continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Base Rate or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion
of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Base Rate, Borrower may convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as Borrower
requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select a LIBOR option for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option
selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection, the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may
permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection, (A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given
to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at its sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If
Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. If no specific designation
of interest is made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term
applied. 

  
 3 

 (c) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon written
demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental
authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs
imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to
LIBOR to the extent they are not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be
conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. 
 (d) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be
payable on the first day of each month, commencing January 1, 2013. 
 (e) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of
this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or at Bank’s option upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance
of this Note shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to two percent (2%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note. 

BORROWING AND REPAYMENT: 
 (a) Borrowing and
Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any document executed
in connection with or governing this Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be
the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note
shall be due and payable in full on January 18, 2018. 
 (b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal
sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request of Borrower’s Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President/Corporate Controller, VP-Treasury, Senior VP—Finance and Investor Relations or
General Counsel, any one acting alone, who are authorized to request advances and direct the disposition of any advances until written notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, or
(ii) any person, with respect to advances deposited to the credit of any deposit account of Borrower, which advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower regardless of the fact
that persons other than those authorized to request advances may have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person requesting an advance is or has been authorized by Borrower. 

  
 4 

 (c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to
any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof. All payments credited to principal shall be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Base Rate,
if any, and second, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with such payments applied to the oldest Fixed Rate Term first. 

PREPAYMENT: 
 (a) Base Rate. Borrower may
prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Base Rate at any time, in any amount and without penalty. 

(b) LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time
and in the minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00); provided however, that if the outstanding principal balance of such portion of this Note is less than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire
outstanding principal balance thereof. In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable
thereto by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon written demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term
matures, calculated as follows for each such month: 
 (i) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount
prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto. 

(ii) Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which would have accrued for the same month on the amount
prepaid for the remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid. 

(iii) If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above. 

Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it
is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs,
expenses and/or liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum two percent (2.00%) above the Prime Rate in effect from
time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed). 
 EVENTS OF DEFAULT: 

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. Any default in the payment or performance of
any obligation under this Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note. 

  
 5 

 MISCELLANEOUS: 

(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder’s option, may declare all sums of
principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, and the
obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. Borrower shall pay to the holder immediately upon written demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of the holder’s in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder’s rights and/or the
collection of any amounts which become due to the holder under this Note, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial or
appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank
or any other person) relating to Borrower or any other person or entity. 
 (b) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

 This
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY (“Subsidiary Guaranty”), dated as of January 18, 2013, is made by the Persons listed on the signature pages hereto, together with each other Person who may become a party hereto pursuant to
Section 16 of this Subsidiary Guaranty (each a “Guarantor” and collectively “Guarantors”), jointly and severally in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Bank”), with
reference to the following facts: 
 RECITALS 

A. Pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of January 18, 2013 by and between Korn/Ferry International, a Delaware corporation
(“Borrower”), and Bank (said Credit Agreement, as amended, extended, renewed, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Credit Agreement”), Bank has agreed to extend certain credit facilities
to Borrower. 
 B. As a condition to the availability of such credit facilities, Guarantors are required to enter into this Subsidiary
Guaranty and to guaranty the Guarantied Obligations as hereinafter provided. 
 C. Guarantors expect to realize direct and indirect benefits
as the result of the availability of the aforementioned credit facilities to Borrower, as the result of financial or business support which will be provided to the Guarantors by Borrower. 

AGREEMENT 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in order to induce Bank to extend the aforementioned credit facilities, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby are acknowledged, Guarantors hereby represent, warrant, covenant, agree and
guaranty as follows: 
 1. Definitions. This Subsidiary Guaranty is the Subsidiary Guaranty referred to in the Credit Agreement and is
one of the Loan Documents. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Subsidiary Guaranty shall have the meanings given those terms in the Credit Agreement when used herein and such definitions are incorporated herein as
though set forth in full. In addition, as used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings respectively set forth after each: 

“Guarantied Obligations” means any and all present and future Obligations of any type or nature of Borrower or any other
Obligor to Bank arising under or related to the Loan Documents and/or any one or more of them, whether due or to become due, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, or contingent or noncontingent, including without limitation obligations
of performance as well as obligations of 

  
 1 

 
payment, and including without limitation interest that accrues after the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding by or against Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person. 

“Subsidiary Guaranty” means this Subsidiary Guaranty, and any extensions, modifications, renewals, restatements,
reaffirmations, supplements or amendments hereof, including, without limitation, any documents or agreements by which additional Guarantors become party hereto. 

2. Guaranty of Guarantied Obligations. Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably, unconditionally guaranty and promise to
pay and perform on demand the Guarantied Obligations and each and every one of them, including all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions of any of them, whether such amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or
extensions are evidenced by new or additional instruments, documents or agreements or change the rate of interest on any Guarantied Obligation or the security therefor, or otherwise. 

3. Nature of Guaranty. This Subsidiary Guaranty is irrevocable and continuing in nature and relates to any Guarantied Obligations now
existing or hereafter arising. This Subsidiary Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt and punctual payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection. 

4. Relationship to Other Agreements. Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any
other document, instrument or agreement executed by any Guarantor or in connection with the Guarantied Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto. All provisions contained in the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document that apply to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Subsidiary Guaranty and are incorporated herein by this reference. 

5. Subordination of Indebtedness of the Obligors to Guarantors to the Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that: 

(a) Any indebtedness of Borrower or any other Obligor now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor hereby is subordinated to
the Guarantied Obligations. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or a Potential
Event of Default, if Bank so requests in writing, any such indebtedness of Borrower or any other Obligor now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for Bank and shall be paid over to
Bank in kind on account of the Guarantied Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Subsidiary Guaranty. 

(c) Should such Guarantor fail to collect or enforce any such indebtedness of Borrower or any other Obligor now or hereafter
owed to such Guarantor and pay the proceeds thereof to Bank in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof, Bank as such Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact may do such acts and sign such documents in such Guarantor’s name as Bank reasonably
deems necessary or advisable to effect such collection, enforcement and/or payment. 

  
 2 

 6. [Reserved]. 

7. Waivers and Consents. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the obligations undertaken herein involve the guaranty of obligations of
Persons other than such Guarantor and, in full recognition of that fact, consents and agrees that Bank may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing
effectiveness hereof: (a) supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of
interest thereon; (b) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is not a
party or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder; (c) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to
any of the Loan Documents or the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof; (d) accept partial payments on the Guarantied Obligations; (e) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Guarantied Obligations or any part
thereof; (f) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and/or enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Bank in
its sole and absolute discretion may determine; (g) release any Person from any personal liability with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof; (h) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Bank or by operation of
applicable laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Guarantied Obligations and any security or guaranty therefor in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; and/or (i) consent to the merger, change
or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate or other existence of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Guarantied Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall
not affect the liability of any Guarantor or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations. 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Bank may enforce this Subsidiary Guaranty independently as to each
Guarantor and independently of any other remedy or security Bank at any time may have or hold in connection with the Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor expressly waives any right to require Bank to marshal assets in favor of any Obligor, and
agrees that Bank may proceed against any Obligor, or upon or against any security or remedy, before proceeding to enforce this Subsidiary Guaranty, in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Bank may file a separate
action or actions against any Obligor and/or any Guarantor without respect to whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions.
Guarantors agree that Bank and the other Obligors and any affiliates of the other Obligors may deal with each other in connection with the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between
any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Subsidiary Guaranty. Bank’s rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the 

  
 3 

 
enforceability of this Subsidiary Guaranty shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Guarantied Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored
or returned by Bank upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. Each Guarantor agrees that the rights of Bank created or granted herein and the
enforceability of this Subsidiary Guaranty with respect to Guarantors at all times shall remain effective to guaranty the full amount of all the Guarantied Obligations even though the Guarantied Obligations, or any part thereof, or any security or
guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any other Obligor or any other guarantor or surety and whether or not any other Obligor shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of any other Obligor with respect to the Guarantied
Obligations, (b) the unenforceability or invalidity of any guaranty for the Guarantied Obligations, (c) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Obligor (other than by reason of the full payment
and performance of all Guarantied Obligations), (d) any failure of Bank to marshal assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person, (e) except as otherwise provided in this Subsidiary Guaranty or prohibited by applicable law, any failure
of Bank to give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to such Guarantor or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of collateral, (f) except as otherwise provided in
this Subsidiary Guaranty or prohibited by applicable law, any failure of Bank to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Guarantied Obligation, including without
limitation, any failure of Bank to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Guarantied Obligation, (g) any act or omission of Bank or others that directly or indirectly results in
or aids the discharge or release of any other Obligor or the Guarantied Obligations or any security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (h) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be
larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (i) any failure of Bank to file or enforce a claim in
any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (j) the election by Bank, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code,
(k) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (l) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (m) any agreement or
stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (n) [reserved], (o) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution
proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Guarantied Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding, (p) to the extent
permitted, the benefits of any form of one-action rule under any applicable law, or (q) any action taken by Bank that is authorized by this Section or any other provision of any Loan Document. Until no part of the Line of Credit remains
outstanding and all of the Guarantied Obligations have been paid and performed in full, no Guarantor shall have any right of subrogation, contribution (other than as set forth in Section 11), reimbursement or indemnity, and
each Guarantor expressly waives any right to enforce any remedy that Bank now has or hereafter may have against any other Person 

  
 4 

 
and waives the benefit of, or any right to participate in, any collateral now or hereafter held by Bank. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives all rights and
defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Bank, even though that election of remedies, has destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California
Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor
and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Subsidiary Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guarantied
Obligations (except if such notice is required to be given to the Guarantors under this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any other Guaranteed Obligations to which any Guarantor is a party). 

8. Condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Other Obligors. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to Bank that such Guarantor has
established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the other Obligors, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries, and the other Obligors, and their properties, and each Guarantor now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the
other Obligors, and their properties. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Bank (should any such duty exist) to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or
condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or any other Obligor, or their properties, whether now known or hereafter known by Bank during the life of this Subsidiary Guaranty. With respect to any of the Guarantied
Obligations, Bank need not inquire into the powers of Borrower or any Subsidiaries thereof, or any other Obligor, or the officers or employees acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and all Guarantied Obligations made or created in good faith
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be secured hereby. 
 9. [Reserved]. 

10. Waiver of Rights of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document
to which any Guarantor is a party, Guarantors hereby expressly waive with respect to each other Obligor and its successors and assigns (including any surety) and any other Person which is directly or indirectly a creditor of any other Obligor
or any surety for any other Obligor, any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution (except as specifically provided in Section 11 below), to setoff or to any other rights
that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker, and which Guarantors may have or hereafter acquire
against any other Obligor or any other such Person in connection with or as a result of Guarantors’ execution, delivery and/or performance of this Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party. Guarantors
agree that they shall not have or assert any such rights against any other Obligor or their successors and assigns or any other Person (including any surety) which is directly or indirectly a creditor of any other Obligor or any surety for
any other Obligor, either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action 

  
 5 

 
commenced against Guarantors by any other Obligor (as borrower or in any other capacity), Bank or any other such Person. Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that this waiver is intended to
benefit the other Obligors and Bank and shall not limit or otherwise affect Guarantors’ liability hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof. 

11. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate
share of all payments made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of all such payments. The provisions of this
Section 11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to Bank, and, subject to the provisions of Section 16 below, each Guarantor shall remain liable to Bank for the full amount guarantied by
such Guarantor hereunder. The “proportionate share” of any Guarantor shall be a fraction (which shall in no event exceed 1.00) the numerator of which is the excess, if any, of the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor over a fair
estimate of the liabilities of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the excess (but not less than $1.00) of the fair value of the aggregate assets (without duplication) of all Guarantors over a fair estimate of the aggregate liabilities
(without duplication) of all Guarantors. All relevant calculations shall be made as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor. 
 12.
Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents. Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, with the understanding that
events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Guarantor otherwise may have against Borrower, Bank or others, or against any collateral, and that, under the circumstances, the
waivers and consents herein given are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has either consulted with legal counsel regarding the effect of this Subsidiary Guaranty and the waivers and consents set
forth herein, or has made an informed decision not to do so. If this Subsidiary Guaranty or any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be unenforceable under or in violation of applicable law, this Subsidiary Guaranty and such waivers
and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
 13. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby
makes each and every representation and warranty applicable to such Guarantor set forth in Article 3 of the Credit Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full and the Credit Agreement has been terminated, such Guarantor shall perform, comply with and be bound by all of the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in Articles 5, 6, and 8 of the Credit
Agreement which are applicable to such Guarantor or its assets. 
 14. Costs and Expenses. Each Guarantor agrees to pay to Bank all
documented costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Bank in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Subsidiary Guaranty, whether or not an action is filed in
connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof. All advances, charges, costs and expenses, 

  
 6 

 
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including the reasonably allocated cost of legal counsel employed by Bank), incurred or paid by Bank in exercising any
right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Subsidiary Guaranty, or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be subject hereto and shall become a part of the Guarantied Obligations and shall be paid to Bank by each
Guarantor, immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the rate(s) provided for under the Credit Agreement. 
 15.
Construction of this Guaranty. This Subsidiary Guaranty is intended to give rise to absolute and unconditional obligations on the part of each Guarantor; hence, in any construction hereof, notwithstanding any provision of any Loan
Document to the contrary, this Subsidiary Guaranty shall be construed strictly in favor of Bank in order to accomplish its stated purpose. 

16. Joinder. Any other Person may become a Guarantor under and become bound by the terms and conditions of this Subsidiary Guaranty by
executing and delivering to Bank an Instrument of Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, accompanied by such documentation as Bank may reasonably require to establish the due organization, valid existence and good
standing of such Person, its qualification to engage in business in each material jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, its authority to execute, deliver and perform this Subsidiary Guaranty, and the identity, authority and
capacity of each responsible official thereof authorized to act on its behalf. 
 17. Arbitration. 

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto (and for the purposes of this Arbitration section “parties” shall include
each Guarantor and Bank) agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in
tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the loan and related loan and security documents which are the subject of this Guaranty and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment,
modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit. 

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in California selected by the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties;
and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00
exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or
the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall
control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law. 

  
 7 

 (c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The
arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession;
or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver
of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph. 

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00
or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote
of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of California or a neutral retired
judge of the state or federal judiciary of California, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an
issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing
motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of California and may grant any remedy or relief that
a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to
take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including
the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief. 

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery
shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. Any requests for an extension
of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining
information is available. 

  
 8 

 (f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. The resolution of any dispute
arising pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty shall be determined by a separate arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or included in any class proceeding. 

(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration
proceeding. 
 (h) Real Property Collateral; Judicial Reference. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
dispute shall be submitted to arbitration if the dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage, lien or security interest specifically elects in
writing to proceed with the arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of California, thereby agreeing that all indebtedness and
obligations of the parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any such dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the dispute shall be referred to a
referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be specifically enforceable in accordance with said Section 638. A referee with the qualifications
required herein for arbitrators shall be selected pursuant to the AAA’s selection procedures. Judgment upon the decision rendered by a referee shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with California
Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645. 
 (i) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the
arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence,
content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies
to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the documents between the parties or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the
documents or any relationship between the parties. 
 18. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 19. THIS
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
