FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned promises to pay to the order of THE HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK (hereinafter called the “Bank,”
which term shall include any holder hereof) at such place as the Bank may designate or, in the absence of such designation, at any of the Bank’s offices, the sum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or so much thereof as shall have been advanced
by the Bank at any time and not thereafter repaid (hereinafter referred to as “Principal Sum”) together with interest as hereinafter provided and payable at the time and in the manner hereinafter provided. The proceeds of the loan
evidenced hereby may be advanced, repaid and readvanced in partial amounts during the term of this revolving note (this “Note”) and prior to maturity. Each such advance shall be made to the undersigned upon receipt by the Bank of the
undersigned’s application therefor and disbursement instructions, which shall be in such form as the Bank shall from time to time prescribe. The Bank shall be entitled to rely on any oral or telephonic communication requesting an advance and/or
providing disbursement instructions hereunder, which shall be received by it in good faith from anyone reasonably believed by the Bank to be the undersigned, or the undersigned’s authorized agent. The undersigned agrees that all advances made
by the Bank will be evidenced by entries made by the Bank into its electronic data processing system and/or internal memoranda maintained by the Bank. The undersigned further agrees that the sum or sums shown on the most recent printout from the
Bank’s electronic data processing system and/or on such memoranda shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the amount of the Principal Sum and of the amount of any accrued interest. 
 
This Note is executed and the advances contemplated hereunder
are to be made pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and between the undersigned and the Bank dated October 22, 1999 (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, herein the
“Loan Agreement”), to which reference is hereby made for a more complete statement of the terms and conditions contained therein. Terms defined in the Loan Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein with the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement. 
 
This Note is given in substitution for, and replacement of, that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Note dated as of as of June 30, 2002, in the original principal sum of $10,000,000, and not as a novation thereof.

 

 
INTEREST

 
Prior to maturity, interest will accrue on
the unpaid balance of the Principal Sum at a variable rate of interest per annum, as selected by the undersigned in accordance with this Note (hereinafter called the “Contract Rate”), which shall change in the manner set forth below, equal
to: 
 
(1)  the Prime
Commercial Rate (as hereinafter defined) minus 0.50 percentage points (the “Prime Rate”); or 
 
(2)  2.00 percentage points in excess of the Daily LIBOR (as hereinafter defined). 
 
Initially, interest shall accrue hereunder based upon the
Daily LIBOR. The undersigned shall give the Bank written notice of each request to change the interest index from the Daily LIBOR to the Prime Commercial Rate, or vice versa, or to request disbursement of an advance with respect to which interest
shall accrue at a rate calculated with reference to the Daily LIBOR, no later than three (3) Banking Days (as hereinafter defined) prior to the date of the proposed change or the requested date of disbursement, as the case may be. All such written
notices shall be directed by the undersigned to the Bank’s officer who is handling the undersigned’s obligations on behalf of the Bank and must be received by the Bank at least three (3) Banking Days prior to the date of the change or the
requested date of disbursement. 
 
Subject to any
maximum or minimum interest rate limitation specified herein or by applicable law, the Contract Rate shall change automatically without notice to the undersigned immediately on each Banking Day with each change in the Prime Commercial Rate or in the
Daily LIBOR or the Reserve Requirement, as applicable, with any change thereto effective as of the opening of business on the day of the change. 
 
If the obligation evidenced by this Note is not paid at maturity, whether maturity occurs by lapse of time, demand, acceleration or
otherwise, the unpaid balance of the Principal Sum and any unpaid interest shall, thereafter until paid, bear interest at a rate equal to 2.00 percentage points in excess of the Contract Rate. 
 
As used herein, “Prime Commercial Rate” shall mean
the rate established by the Bank from time to time based on its consideration of economic, money market, business and competitive factors, and it is not necessarily the Bank’s most favored rate. 
 
As used herein, “Daily LIBOR” shall mean the rate
obtained by dividing: (1) actual or estimated per annum rate, or the arithmetic mean of the per annum rates, of interest for deposits in U.S. dollars for one (1) month periods, as offered and determined by the Bank in its sole discretion based upon
information which appears on page LIBOR01, captioned British Bankers Assoc. Interest Settlement Rates, of the Reuters America Network, a service of Reuters America Inc. (or such other page that may replace that page on that service for the purpose
of displaying London interbank offered rates; or, if such service ceases to be available, such other reasonably comparable money rate service as the Bank may select) or upon information obtained from any other reasonable procedure, on each date the
Daily LIBOR is determined; by (2) a percentage (the “Reserve Requirement”) equal to one hundred percent minus the stated maximum rate (expressed as a percentage), if any, of all reserve requirements (including, without limitation, any
marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves) that is specified on each date the Daily LIBOR is determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor agency thereto) for determining the maximum reserve
requirement with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D of such Board) maintained by a member bank of such System, or any other regulations or any governmental authority having
jurisdiction with respect thereto, all as conclusively determined by the Bank, absent manifest error, such sum to be rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest whole multiple of one-sixteenth of one percent ( 1/16 of 1.0%) per annum. 
 
As used herein, “Banking Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banks
are open for business in Columbus, Ohio, and on which banks in London, England, settle payments. 
 

 
All interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days the Principal Sum or any part thereof remains unpaid. There shall be no penalty for prepayment. The amount of any payment shall first be applied to the payment of any
interest which is due. 
 
In the event that the
Bank reasonably determines that by reason of (1) any change arising after the date of this Note affecting the interbank eurocurrency market or affecting the position of the Bank with respect to such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Daily LIBOR then being determined is to be fixed, (2) any change arising after the date of this Note in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation or order (or any
interpretation thereof, including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation or order), or (3) any other circumstance affecting the Bank or the interbank market (such as, but not limited to, official reserve requirements
required by Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), the Daily LIBOR plus the applicable spread shall not represent the effective pricing to the Bank of accruing interest based upon the Daily LIBOR, then, and in any
such event, interest shall accrue hereunder as of the effective date of any such determination at a rate calculated with reference to the Prime Commercial Rate (as set forth above) and the ability of the undersigned to request that interest accrue
hereunder based upon the Daily LIBOR shall be suspended until the Bank shall notify the undersigned that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 
In the event that on any date the Bank shall have reasonably determined that accruing interest hereunder
based upon the Daily LIBOR has become unlawful by compliance by the Bank in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order, then, and in any such event, the Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to the undersigned. In such case,
the ability of the undersigned to request that interest accrue hereunder based upon the Daily LIBOR shall be terminated and, when required by law, interest will accrue hereunder based upon the Prime Commercial Rate. 
 
If, due to (1) the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation, (2) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other public authority (whether or not having the force of law), or (3) the failure of the undersigned to pay any amount when required
by the terms of this Note, there shall be any loss or increase in the cost to the Bank of accruing interest hereunder based upon the Daily LIBOR, if applicable, then the undersigned agree that the undersigned shall, from time to time, upon demand by
the Bank, pay to the Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for such loss or increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such loss or increase cost, submitted to the undersigned by the Bank, shall be conclusive evidence,
absent manifest error, of the correctness of such amount. 
 
MANNER OF PAYMENT 
 
The
Principal Sum shall be due and payable on June 30, 2004, and at maturity, whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise. Accrued interest shall be due and payable monthly beginning on November 15, 2002, and continuing on the 15th day of each month
thereafter, and at maturity, whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise. 
 
LATE CHARGE 
 
Any installment or other payment not made within 10 days of the date such payment or installment is due shall be subject to a late charge equal to 5% of the amount of the installment or payment. 
 
DEFAULT 
 
Upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 
(a)  the undersigned
fails to make any payment of interest or of the Principal Sum on or before the date such payment is due; 
 
(b)  an “Event of Default” under the Loan Agreement shall have occurred; 
 

 
then the Bank may, at its
option, without notice or demand, accelerate the maturity of the obligations evidenced hereby, which obligations shall become immediately due and payable. In the event the Bank shall institute any action for the enforcement or collection of the
obligations evidenced hereby, the undersigned agrees to pay all costs and expenses of such action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent permitted by law. 
 
GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 
The undersigned, and any indorser, surety, or guarantor, hereby severally waive presentment, notice of
dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and diligence in bringing suit against any party hereto, and consent that, without discharging any of them, the time of payment may be extended an unlimited number of times before or after maturity without
notice. The Bank shall not be required to pursue any party hereto, including any guarantor, or to exercise any rights against any collateral herefor before exercising any other such rights. 
 
No waiver of any term or condition of this Note shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by the party giving or granting the waiver. No amendment of any term or condition of this Note shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the undersigned and the Bank. No failure or delay on the part of
the Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note, related loan documents or law, nor any course of dealing, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of
any other right, power or privilege. 
 
The
undersigned agrees that, to the extent that the undersigned makes a payment or payments to the Bank, or the Bank receives any proceeds of collateral security, which payment or payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to any of the undersigned, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including without limitation any guarantor, under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or
under any other state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligations under this Note, or the part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount, shall be reinstated
and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred. 
 
The obligations evidenced hereby may from time to time be evidenced by another note or notes given in substitution, renewal or extension
hereof. Any security interest or mortgage which secures the obligations evidenced hereby shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such substitution, renewal, or extension. 
 
The captions used herein are for references only and shall not be deemed a part of this Note. If any of the
terms or provisions of this Note shall be deemed unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions shall not be affected. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Ohio, without
regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned promises to pay to the order of THE HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK (hereinafter called the “Bank,” which term shall include any holder hereof) at such place as the Bank may designate or, in the absence of such
designation, at any of the Bank’s offices, the sum of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) or so much thereof as shall have been advanced by the Bank at any time and not thereafter repaid (hereinafter referred to as “Principal
Sum”) together with interest as hereinafter provided and payable at the time and in the manner hereinafter provided. The proceeds of the loan evidenced hereby may be advanced, repaid and readvanced in partial amounts during the term of this
revolving note (this “Note”) and prior to maturity. Each such advance shall be made to the undersigned upon receipt by the Bank of the undersigned’s application therefor and disbursement instructions, which shall be in such form as
the Bank shall from time to time prescribe. The Bank shall be entitled to rely on any oral or telephonic communication requesting an advance and/or providing disbursement instructions hereunder, which shall be received by it in good faith from
anyone reasonably believed by the Bank to be the undersigned, or the undersigned’s authorized agent. The undersigned agrees that all advances made by the Bank will be evidenced by entries made by the Bank into its electronic data processing
system and/or internal memoranda maintained by the Bank. The undersigned further agrees that the sum or sums shown on the most recent printout from the Bank’s electronic data processing system and/or on such memoranda shall be rebuttably
presumptive evidence of the amount of the Principal Sum and of the amount of any accrued interest. 
 
This Note is executed and the advances contemplated hereunder are to be made pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement by and between the undersigned and the Bank dated October 22, 1999 (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, herein the “Loan Agreement”), to which reference is hereby made for a more complete
statement of the terms and conditions contained therein. Terms defined in the Loan Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein with the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement. 
 
This Note is given in substitution for, and replacement of,
that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Note dated as of November 14, 2002, in the original principal sum of $2,000,000, and not as a novation thereof. 

 
INTEREST

 
Prior to maturity, interest will accrue on
the unpaid balance of the Principal Sum at a variable rate of interest per annum, as selected by the undersigned in accordance with this Note (hereinafter called the “Contract Rate”), which shall change in the manner set forth below, equal
to: 
 
(1)  the Prime
Commercial Rate (as hereinafter defined) minus 0.50 percentage points (the “Prime Rate”); or 
 
(2)  2.00 percentage points in excess of the Daily LIBOR (as hereinafter defined). 
 
Initially, interest shall accrue hereunder based upon the
Daily LIBOR. The undersigned shall give the Bank written notice of each request to change the interest index from the Daily LIBOR to the Prime Commercial Rate, or vice versa, or to request disbursement of an advance with respect to which interest
shall accrue at a rate calculated with reference to the Daily LIBOR, no later than three (3) Banking Days (as hereinafter defined) prior to the date of the proposed change or the requested date of disbursement, as the case may be. All such written
notices shall be directed by the undersigned to the Bank’s officer who is handling the undersigned’s obligations on behalf of the Bank and must be received by the Bank at least three (3) Banking Days prior to the date of the change or the
requested date of disbursement. 
 
Subject to any
maximum or minimum interest rate limitation specified herein or by applicable law, the Contract Rate shall change automatically without notice to the undersigned immediately on each Banking Day with each change in the Prime Commercial Rate or in the
Daily LIBOR or the Reserve Requirement, as applicable, with any change thereto effective as of the opening of business on the day of the change. 
 
If the obligation evidenced by this Note is not paid at maturity, whether maturity occurs by lapse of time, demand, acceleration or
otherwise, the unpaid balance of the Principal Sum and any unpaid interest shall, thereafter until paid, bear interest at a rate equal to 2.00 percentage points in excess of the Contract Rate. 
 
As used herein, “Prime Commercial Rate” shall mean
the rate established by the Bank from time to time based on its consideration of economic, money market, business and competitive factors, and it is not necessarily the Bank’s most favored rate. 
 
As used herein, “Daily LIBOR” shall mean the rate
obtained by dividing: (1) actual or estimated per annum rate, or the arithmetic mean of the per annum rates, of interest for deposits in U.S. dollars for one (1) month periods, as offered and determined by the Bank in its sole discretion based upon
information which appears on page LIBOR01, captioned British Bankers Assoc. Interest Settlement Rates, of the Reuters America Network, a service of Reuters America Inc. (or such other page that may replace that page on that service for the purpose
of displaying London interbank offered rates; or, if such service ceases to be available, such other reasonably comparable money rate service as the Bank may select) or upon information obtained from any other reasonable procedure, on each date the
Daily LIBOR is determined; by (2) a percentage (the “Reserve Requirement”) equal to one hundred percent minus the stated maximum rate (expressed as a percentage), if any, of all reserve requirements (including, without limitation, any
marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves) that is specified on each date the Daily LIBOR is determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor agency thereto) for determining the maximum reserve
requirement with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D of such Board) maintained by a member bank of such System, or any other regulations or any governmental authority having
jurisdiction with respect thereto, all as conclusively determined by the Bank, absent manifest error, such sum to be rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest whole multiple of one-sixteenth of one percent (1/16 of 1.0%) per annum. 
 
As used herein, “Banking Day” shall mean any day
other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banks are open for business in Columbus, Ohio, and on which banks in London, England, settle payments. 

 
All interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days the Principal Sum or any part thereof remains unpaid. There shall be no penalty for prepayment. The amount of any payment shall first be applied to the payment of any
interest which is due. 
 
In the event that the
Bank reasonably determines that by reason of (1) any change arising after the date of this Note affecting the interbank eurocurrency market or affecting the position of the Bank with respect to such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Daily LIBOR then being determined is to be fixed, (2) any change arising after the date of this Note in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation or order (or any
interpretation thereof, including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation or order), or (3) any other circumstance affecting the Bank or the interbank market (such as, but not limited to, official reserve requirements
required by Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), the Daily LIBOR plus the applicable spread shall not represent the effective pricing to the Bank of accruing interest based upon the Daily LIBOR, then, and in any
such event, interest shall accrue hereunder as of the effective date of any such determination at a rate calculated with reference to the Prime Commercial Rate (as set forth above) and the ability of the undersigned to request that interest accrue
hereunder based upon the Daily LIBOR shall be suspended until the Bank shall notify the undersigned that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 
In the event that on any date the Bank shall have reasonably determined that accruing interest hereunder
based upon the Daily LIBOR has become unlawful by compliance by the Bank in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order, then, and in any such event, the Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to the undersigned. In such case,
the ability of the undersigned to request that interest accrue hereunder based upon the Daily LIBOR shall be terminated and, when required by law, interest will accrue hereunder based upon the Prime Commercial Rate. 
 
If, due to (1) the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation, (2) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other public authority (whether or not having the force of law), or (3) the failure of the undersigned to pay any amount when required
by the terms of this Note, there shall be any loss or increase in the cost to the Bank of accruing interest hereunder based upon the Daily LIBOR, if applicable, then the undersigned agree that the undersigned shall, from time to time, upon demand by
the Bank, pay to the Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for such loss or increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such loss or increase cost, submitted to the undersigned by the Bank, shall be conclusive evidence,
absent manifest error, of the correctness of such amount. 
 
MANNER OF PAYMENT 
 
The
Principal Sum shall be due and payable on June 30, 2004, and at maturity, whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise. Accrued interest shall be due and payable monthly beginning on April 15, 2003, and continuing on the 15th day of each month
thereafter, and at maturity, whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise. 
 
LATE CHARGE 
 
Any installment or other payment not made within 10 days of the date such payment or installment is due shall be subject to a late charge equal to 5% of the amount of the installment or payment. 
 
DEFAULT 
 
Upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 
(a)  the undersigned
fails to make any payment of interest or of the Principal Sum on or before the date such payment is due; 
 
(b)  an “Event of Default” under the Loan Agreement shall have occurred; 

 
then the Bank may, at its
option, without notice or demand, accelerate the maturity of the obligations evidenced hereby, which obligations shall become immediately due and payable. In the event the Bank shall institute any action for the enforcement or collection of the
obligations evidenced hereby, the undersigned agrees to pay all costs and expenses of such action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent permitted by law. 
 
GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 
The undersigned, and any indorser, surety, or guarantor, hereby severally waive presentment, notice of
dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and diligence in bringing suit against any party hereto, and consent that, without discharging any of them, the time of payment may be extended an unlimited number of times before or after maturity without
notice. The Bank shall not be required to pursue any party hereto, including any guarantor, or to exercise any rights against any collateral herefor before exercising any other such rights. 
 
No waiver of any term or condition of this Note shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by the party giving or granting the waiver. No amendment of any term or condition of this Note shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the undersigned and the Bank. No failure or delay on the part of
the Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note, related loan documents or law, nor any course of dealing, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of
any other right, power or privilege. 
 
The
undersigned agrees that, to the extent that the undersigned makes a payment or payments to the Bank, or the Bank receives any proceeds of collateral security, which payment or payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to any of the undersigned, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including without limitation any guarantor, under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or
under any other state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligations under this Note, or the part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount, shall be reinstated
and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred. 
 
The obligations evidenced hereby may from time to time be evidenced by another note or notes given in substitution, renewal or extension
hereof. Any security interest or mortgage which secures the obligations evidenced hereby shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such substitution, renewal, or extension. 
 
The captions used herein are for references only and shall not be deemed a part of this Note. If any of the
terms or provisions of this Note shall be deemed unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions shall not be affected. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Ohio, without
regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT THE UNDERSIGNED OR THE BANK MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE
