 Attention: Alan Hoverd, Chief Financial Officer 
  
 Dear
Sirs/Mesdames: 
  
 Royal Bank of Canada (the “Bank”) is pleased
to offer Open Text Corporation (the “Borrower”), a demand operating credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) through its branch located at 70-74 King Street South, Waterloo, Ontario (the “Branch of
Account”) or other designated booking point as agreed between the Borrower and the Bank, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. 
  

	1.	DEFINITIONS AND SCHEDULES 

  
 The attached schedules are incorporated into this agreement by reference as if set out in full herein (collectively, this agreement and Schedules “A” to
“C” are referred to herein as the “Agreement”). Schedule “A” contains definitions of capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided, all dollar amounts are in United
States currency and accounting terms are to be interpreted in accordance with GAAP. 
  

	2.	COMMITMENT 

  
 The amount available under the Credit Facility shall not exceed Cdn$40,000,000, or the Equivalent US$ Amount (the “Commitment”). 
  

	3.	CREDIT FACILITY 

  
 The Credit Facility is available by way of: 
  

	 	(a)	RBP based loans in Canadian Dollars (“RBP Loans”); 

  

	 	(b)	RBUSBR based loans in US Dollars (“RBUSBR Loans”); 

  

	 	(c)	Bankers’ Acceptances (“BAs”); 

  

	 	(d)	Libor based loans in US Dollars (“Libor Loans”); and 

	 	(e)	Letters of Guarantee in Canadian Dollars or in US Dollars issued in connection with a Minority Gauss Share Purchase or a Minority IXOS Share Purchase, and, otherwise, in a maximum
amount not to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate. 

  
 Each use of
the Credit Facility by way of any of the foregoing methods is a “Borrowing” and all such usages outstanding at any time are “Borrowings”. Schedule “B” contains notice provisions applicable to Borrowings
that must be complied with and the terms and conditions applicable to Borrowings made by way of BAs and LGs which must be complied with. 
  
 The Borrower and the Bank agree that the LGs issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement described in Schedule “E” (the “Existing LGs”)
shall be deemed, for all purposes hereof, to have been issued by the Bank under this Agreement. The Borrower and the Bank further agree to terminate the Existing Credit Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby terminated, effective the
date hereof. 
  

	4.	USE OF PROCEEDS 

  
 The Borrower shall use the proceeds of Borrowings under the Credit Facility for general operating requirements including (i) to fund Distributions permitted by Section 18(g), (ii) to finance
Acquisitions permitted under Section 18(p) (each, a “Permitted Acquisition”), (iii) to finance Capital Expenditures permitted by Section 18(n), and (iv) to finance Minority Gauss Share Purchases or Minority IXOS
Share Purchases. 
  

	5.	AVAILABILITY 

  
 The Borrower may borrow, convert, repay and reborrow at any time, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, provided that the aggregate Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility shall not,
at any time, exceed the Commitment. The Credit Facility is made available at the sole discretion of the Bank and the Bank may cancel or restrict availability of any unutilized portion of the Credit Facility at any time and from time to time without
notice or demand. 
  

	6.	REPAYMENTS AND COMMITMENT REDUCTIONS 

  

	 	(a)	The Credit Facility shall revolve and no payments shall reduce the Commitment. 

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding compliance with the covenants and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, and regardless of the maturities of any outstanding instruments or contracts, the
Bank, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to require payment of all or any part of the Borrowing at any time upon demand (“Demand”) not withstanding compliance by the Borrower with the terms of the Credit Documents and the
Bank may terminate the Credit Facility at any time without notice or demand. 

  

	 	(c)	 Upon Demand, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank all Borrowings outstanding under this Agreement including, without limitation, an amount equal to the aggregate of
the face amounts of all BAs and LGs which are unmatured or unexpired, which amount shall be held by the Bank as security for the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank in respect of such instruments or contracts. The Bank 

  

 2 

	 	 
may enforce its rights to realize upon its security and retain an amount sufficient to secure the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank in respect of such
instruments or contracts. 

  

	7.	EXTENSIONS 

  
 Given the nature of the Credit Facility, no formal extension is required. 
  

	8.	INTEREST RATES AND FEES

	 	(a)	RBP Loans and RBUSBR Loans. The Borrower shall pay interest on each RBP Loan and RBUSBR Loan monthly in arrears, on the 26th day of each month. Such interest will be calculated monthly and will accrue daily on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days.
Any change in RBP or RBUSBR shall be effective as of the opening of business on the day such change takes place. Interest on RBP Loans shall be paid in Canadian Dollars. Interest on RBUSBR Loans shall be paid in US Dollars. 

 

	 	(b)	BAs. The Borrower shall pay an acceptance fee in advance on the date of issue of each BA at the applicable rate provided for in this Agreement. Acceptance fees shall be
calculated on the face amount of the BA issued and based upon the number of days in the term thereof and a year of 365 days. 

  

	 	(c)	LG Fees. The Borrower shall pay an LG fee on the date of issuance of any LG calculated on the face amount of the LG issued and based on the number of days in the term thereof
and a year of 365 days, subject to a minimum fee of Cdn$100 or US$100 based on the currency of the LG. 

  

	 	(d)	Libor Loans. The Borrower shall pay interest on each Libor Loan, on each Libor Interest Date, calculated in arrears. Such interest will accrue daily on the basis of the

	 	(f)	Overdue Payments. Any amount that is not paid when due hereunder shall, unless interest is otherwise payable in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
or the instrument or contract governing same, bear interest until paid at the rate of RBP plus 5% per annum or, in the case of an amount in US Dollars, RBUSBR plus 5% per annum. 

  

	 	(g)	Equivalent Yearly Rates. The annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates calculated in accordance with this Agreement are equivalent, are the rates so calculated
multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such calculation is made and divided by 365 or, in the case of Libor Loans, divided by 360. 

  

	 	(h)	Time and Place of Payment. All amounts due by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid at the Branch of Account in immediately available funds for value on the
day such amount is due in Canadian Dollars, or US Dollars in the case of Borrowings denominated in US Dollars, or as otherwise provided herein. If a day on which an amount is due is not a Business Day such amount shall be deemed for all purposes of
this Agreement to be due on the Business Day next following such day and all interest and other fees shall continue to accrue until payment. Interest and fees payable under this Agreement are payable both before and after any or all of default,
demand and judgment. 

  

	10.	EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS 

  
 If, for any reason, the amount of Borrowings outstanding in US Dollars under the Credit Facility, when converted to the Equivalent Cdn.$ Amount, exceeds the Commitment,
the Borrower shall immediately repay such excess or shall grant additional security to the Bank in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank.

The Bank shall record the principal amount of each Borrowing, the payment of principal and interest and all other amounts becoming due to the Bank under this Agreement.

documents under any Applicable Law with respect to the Liens created thereby. The Bank agrees that filings with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions) will not be required in respect of the Intellectual
Property identified in the Disclosure Schedules. Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, the Borrower authorizes the Bank to file any such financing statement or similar documents without the signature of the Borrower or the Guarantor, or to execute

Canada. The Guarantor is a corporation, duly incorporated, and validly existing under the laws of Illinois and, but for the Guarantor’s failure to file a Report After Merger with the Illinois Secretary of State and failure to pay approximately

Each of the Borrower and Guarantor is duly qualified, licensed or registered to carry on business under the laws applicable to it in all jurisdictions in which such qualification, licensing or registration is necessary or where failure to be so
qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect.

business as now being conducted by it. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor has all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Credit Documents to which it is a party.

have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or other action including, without limitation, the obtaining of all necessary shareholder or unitholder consents and do not violate the constating documents of such Person or any
Applicable Laws which if violated would have a Material Adverse Effect or any Material Agreements to which such Person is subject or by which such Person is bound. 

  

	 	(d)	Governmental Approvals. No authorization, consent, approval, registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with any Governmental Entity or other Person, is

	 	(m)	No Burdensome Agreements. Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction (including any restriction set forth

	 	(n)	No Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations or proceedings pending, taken or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, before or by any Governmental Entity
or other Person affecting the Borrower or the Guarantor which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect other than as described in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005. No law,
rule, regulation, by-law, decision, order or judgment which may affect the Borrower or Guarantor has been enacted, promulgated or applied which challenges, or to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, has been proposed which may challenge, the
validity or propriety of the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated thereunder.

 9 

	 	 
set out in the Disclosure Schedule or as publicly disclosed up to and including the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
September 30, 2005. All Material Agreements are in full force and effect, and neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor, or to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, any other party to any Material Agreement has defaulted in any material
fashion under any of the Material Agreements. No event has occurred which, with the giving of notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default under, or in respect of, any such Material Agreement. There is no material dispute
regarding any such Material Agreement. 

  

	 	(q)	Books and Records. All books and records of the Borrower and the Guarantor have been fully, properly and accurately kept and completed in accordance with GAAP and there are
no material inaccuracies or discrepancies of any kind contained or reflected therein. The Borrower’s and the Guarantor’s records, systems, controls, data or information are not recorded, stored, maintained, operated or otherwise wholly or
partly dependent upon or held by any means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) which (including all means of access thereto and therefrom) are not under the direct control of the Borrower or
the Guarantor, as the case may be. The Borrower and the Guarantor have (i) maintained all its environmental and operating records in the manner and for the periods required by applicable Environmental Law, and (ii) filed all reports which
are required by applicable Environmental Law to be filed on the happening of any reportable event. 

  

	 	(r)	Tax Liability. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule, each of the Borrower and the Guarantor has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to its knowledge,
are required to have been filed, and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any
Governmental Entity (other than those the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided in its books other than those
in respect of which waivers or extensions have been granted by the applicable Governmental Entity) and no tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, fees or other charges. 

  

	 	(s)	Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Borrower for its most recently-ended fiscal period which have been provided to the Bank are accurate and complete in all
material respects, and fairly present the financial condition and business operations of the Borrower, as at the date thereof and are prepared in a form and manner consistent with existing financial reporting practices of the Borrower for its
consolidated operations in accordance with GAAP and, since such date, there has been no Material Adverse Effect. 

  

	 	(t)	 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor is in violation of its constating documents, its by-laws or any shareholders’ agreement applicable to
it. Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor has failed to pay the principal or premium 

  

 10 

	 	 
or interest on any of its Debt to an Arm’s Length party on the later of (i) the date that such amount has become due and payable (whether by
scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise); and (ii) the date immediately following the last day of the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such Debt. No other
event has occurred or condition exists, and is continuing after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in any agreement or instrument relating to any Debt of the Borrower or the Guarantor, the effect of which is to accelerate, or permit the
acceleration of such Debt. No Debt of the Borrower or the Guarantor has been declared to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity. No event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes, or which, with notice, lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a breach of any covenant or other term or condition under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. 

  

	 	(u)	Financial Information. Neither this Agreement nor any forecast or certificate furnished to the Bank by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantor in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading under the circumstances in which they
were made at the time such statements are made. All forecasts and projections supplied to the Bank in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement were prepared in good faith, disclosed all material assumptions relevant and the
most recent versions of all such forecasts provided to the Bank are, in the opinion of the Borrower, reasonable estimates of the prospect of its business. There is no fact known to the Borrower or the Guarantor which the Borrower has not disclosed
to the Bank which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  

	 	(v)	Reporting Issuer Shares. The Borrower is a reporting issuer in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland pursuant to the laws of such Provinces and is not in default under the securities laws of such provinces. 

  

	 	(w)	Potential Prior-Ranking Claims. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor has paid or made provision for payment of all Potential Prior-Ranking Claims which are due and payable.

  

	 	(x)	Royalty Agreements. Each of the Royalty Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto and constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of such
Persons, enforceable against such Persons in accordance with its terms. 

  
 The representations and warranties in this Agreement are deemed to be repeated as at the time of each Borrowing hereunder. The representations and warranties in this Agreement and in any certificates or documents delivered to the Bank shall
not merge in or be prejudiced by and shall survive any Borrowing and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amounts are owing by the Borrower to the Bank under this Agreement. 
  

 11 

	16.	REPORTING COVENANTS

contemplated in this Agreement are completed and the Credit Facility is made available to the Borrower. 

  

	 	(b)	The Borrower shall, whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are completed and the Credit Facility is made available to the Borrower, indemnify and hold the
Bank and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from, and shall pay to such Indemnified Person on demand any reasonable amounts required to compensate the Indemnified Person
for, any claim or Loss suffered by, imposed on, or asserted against, the Indemnified Person as a result of, connected with or arising out of (i) conducting a due diligence investigation of the operations and undertakings of the Borrower,

to have arisen from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud or default by the Bank under any of the Credit Documents or breach of Applicable Law by the Bank. 

  

	 	(c)	 The Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all Environmental Liabilities and costs incurred or suffered by, or

 19 

	 	 
respect to or as a direct or indirect result of, (i) the presence on or under or the release or likely release of Hazardous Substances from any
properties now, or any time heretofore or hereafter, owned, leased, operated or used by the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; or (ii) the breach by any mortgagor, owner, or lessee of such properties in their use of such properties

Bank with any direction, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Entity (except where such compliance is in respect of any penalty or charges resulting from the failure to pay taxes) made or becoming
effective after the date hereof, has the effect of causing Loss to the Bank by (v) increasing the cost to the Bank of performing its obligations under this Agreement or in respect of any Borrowing (including the costs of maintaining any
capital, reserve or special deposit requirements in connection therewith), (w) requiring the Bank to maintain or allocate any capital or additional capital or affecting its allocation of capital in respect of its obligations under this

to be necessary to compensate it for any such Loss incurred after the date of such notice, or (b) provided no Loss has yet been suffered by the Bank or the Borrower has paid the compensating amount to the Bank, repay the Borrowing of the Bank

conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

the Borrower in respect of a BA other than on its maturity date; (ii) the failure of the Borrower to give any notice in the manner and at the times required by this Agreement; or (iii) the failure of a Borrower to make a payment in the
manner and at the time specified in this Agreement. A certificate as to the amount of any Loss submitted in good faith by the Bank to the Borrower shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

  

 20 

	 	(f)	The provisions of this Section 19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the repayment of all amounts owing hereunder and the cancellation of the Commitment. The
Borrower acknowledges that neither its obligation to indemnify nor any actual indemnification by it of any Bank or any other Indemnified Person in respect of such Person’s losses for legal fees and expenses shall in any way affect the
confidentiality or privilege relating to any information communicated by such Person to its counsel. 

  

	20.	SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS 

  
 This Agreement shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
  
 The Bank may assign all or part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any

Section 18(c). 
  
 The Bank may disclose to potential or actual assignees
with the prior written consent of the Borrower unless a default has occurred and is continuing under any of the Credit Documents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) confidential information regarding the Borrower (including, any such
information provided by the Borrower to the Bank). Upon the occurrence of a default that is continuing under any of the Credit Documents, the Bank may disclose to potential or actual assignees confidential information regarding the Borrower
(including any such information provided by the Borrower to the Bank) and shall not be liable for any such disclosure. 
  

	21.	GENERAL 

  

	 	(a)	Notice. Any notice, direction, demand or other communication given under this Agreement shall, except as otherwise permitted hereunder, be in writing and be given by
delivering it or sending it by personal delivery, facsimile or other similar form of recorded communication addressed to the relevant party at the address or facsimile number noted on the first page of this Agreement. Any such communication shall be
deemed to have been validly and effectively given if personally delivered or transmitted by facsimile or similar means of recorded communication, on the date of such delivery if such date is a Business Day and such delivery was made prior to
3:00 p.m. (Toronto time) and otherwise on the Business Day following delivery. Any party may change its address for service from time to time by notice given in accordance with the foregoing and any subsequent notice shall be sent to the party
at its changed address. 

  

	 	(b)	Set Off. The Bank is authorized, but not obligated, at any time, to apply any credit balance, whether or not then due, to which the Borrower is entitled on any account in any
currency at any branch or office of the Bank in or towards satisfaction of the obligations of the Borrower due to the Bank under this Agreement. The Bank is authorized to use any such credit balance to buy such other currencies as may be necessary
to effect such application. 

  

 21 

	 	(c)	No Merger. The provisions of this Agreement shall not merge with any security provided to the Bank, but shall continue in full force for the benefit of the parties hereto.

  

	 	(d)	Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document will be effective unless it is in writing signed by the
Borrower and the Bank. No failure or delay, on the part of the Bank, in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof. 

  

	 	(e)	Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such prohibition or unenforceability shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable the provision concerned in any other jurisdiction nor invalidate, affect or impair any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(f)	Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due to the Bank in any currency (the “Original
Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking
procedures, the Bank could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given or, if permitted by Applicable Law, on the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied. The
obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to the Bank under any of the Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day
following receipt by the Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, the Bank may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so
purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Bank in the Original Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify the Bank, against any Loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency
so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Bank in the Original Currency, the Bank shall remit such excess to the Borrower. 

  

	 	(g)	Review. The Bank may conduct periodical reviews of the affairs of the Borrower, as and when determined by the Bank, for the purpose of evaluating the financial condition of
the Borrower. The Borrower shall make available to the Bank such financial statements and other information and documentation as the Bank may reasonably require and shall do all things reasonably necessary to facilitate such review by the Bank.

  

	 	(h)	Consent to Disclosure. The Borrower hereby grants its consent (such grant to remain in force as long as this Agreement is in effect or any Borrowings are outstanding) to any
Person having information relating to any Potential Prior-Ranking Claim to release such information to the Bank at any time upon its written request for the purpose of assisting the Bank to evaluate the financial condition of the Borrower.

  

 22 

	 	(i)	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and of Canada applicable therein.

  

	 	(j)	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Credit Documents and any other written agreement delivered pursuant to or referred to in this Agreement constitute the whole and entire
agreement between the parties in respect of the Credit Facility. There are no verbal agreements, undertakings or representations in connection with the Credit Facility. 

  

	 	(k)	Time. Time shall be of the essence in all provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(l)	Acceptance. The offer made by the Bank under this Agreement is open for acceptance until February 2, 2006, after which date it will be null and void, unless extended in
writing by the Bank.

days after Executive receives the written notice, and (iii) if, after such meeting, the Employer continues to believe that “Cause” exists, give Executive thirty (30) days to cure the basis for the Employer’s determination
that “Cause” exists. If the basis for the Employer’s determination that “Cause” exists has not been cured within such 30 day period, or if not practicable to be cured within 30 days, the Executive has not made reasonable
efforts to cure, then Employer may terminate this Agreement for “Cause” by giving written notice of termination to the Executive, specifically stating the grounds upon which the termination is based. In the event the Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Employer for Cause, the Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum cash amount representing all compensation and benefits earned by the Executive and unpaid as of the date of termination, less applicable statutory
deductions, to be paid within six (6) days of termination. 
  
 (d) Termination Without Cause. At any time after the commencement of employment, either the Executive or the Employer may, voluntarily or without Cause, respectively, terminate this Agreement and the
Executive’s employment, effective thirty (30) days after written notice is provided to the other. Upon Executive’s voluntary resignation without Good Reason (as defined in Paragraph 5), the Executive shall be entitled to a lump
sum cash amount representing all compensation and benefits earned by the Executive and unpaid as of the date of termination, less applicable statutory deductions, to be paid within fourteen (14) days of termination. Upon termination by the
Employer without Cause or by Executive for any Good Reason, the provisions of Paragraph 8 shall apply to Executive’s post-employment entitlements. 
  
 (e) Termination of Employment on Account of Disability, Cause or Death. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
if Executive’s employment terminates on account of disability, Executive shall be entitled to receive disability benefits under any disability program maintained by the Employer that covers the Executive, and Executive shall not receive
benefits pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 hereof. If Executive’s employment terminates on account of Cause or because of his death, Executive shall not receive benefits pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 hereof.

 5. Good Reason Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall have
“Good Reason” to terminate this Agreement and his employment hereunder if, without the Executive’s prior written consent, (i) the Executive is demoted by means of a comprehensive and substantial reduction in all or most of
Executive’s primary authority, responsibilities, duties or title to a position of materially less stature or importance within the Employer than as described in paragraph 1 hereof; (ii) the Employer breaches this Agreement in any
material respect and fails to cure such breach within ten (10) business days after the Executive delivers written notice and a written description of such breach to the Employer, which notice shall specifically refer to this paragraph of this
Agreement; or (iii) without the Executive’s express written consent, the Employer materially reduces the Executive’s Base Salary or materially reduces his benefits. 
  
 6. Change in Control Defined. A Change in Control shall not occur by reason of any transaction in which
the Executive, or a group of individuals or entities including the Executive, participates as an Acquiring Person, or owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of a corporation described in this paragraph. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change
in Control” shall mean: 
  
 (a) any
“person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), an “Acquiring Person”) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, a “Beneficial Owner”), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Employer representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Employer’s then outstanding
securities; 
  
 (b) the Employer’s
shareholders approve an agreement to merge or consolidate the Employer with another corporation (other than a corporation 50% or more of which is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Employer) in which the Employer is not the
surviving entity; 
  
 (c) the Employer sells 80%
or more of its assets to an Acquiring Person; or 
  
 (d) the persons who were members of the Board of Directors of the Employer immediately prior to a tender offer, exchange offer, contested election, or any combination of the foregoing, cease to constitute a majority of the Board of
Directors. 
  
 7. Certain Payments upon Change in
Control. In the event of a Change in Control during the Term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to the following: 
  

(a) a lump sum cash amount, which shall be paid as soon as administratively possible after the Change in Control, but in no event later
than March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the Change in Control occurs, equal to the sum of (i) three (3) times the Executive’s annual base salary at the highest rate earned by him at any time during the
twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Change in Control and (ii) an amount equal to three (3) times the last annual bonus paid to the Executive before the Change in Control; and 
  
 (b) if the Executive’s employment is terminated at any
time following a Change in Control, the Employer shall maintain in full force and effect for the 
  

 -4- 

 Executive’s continued benefit: all life, medical, dental and prescription drug insurance plans,
programs or arrangements in which the Executive was entitled to participate at any time during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of termination, provided that the Executive’s continued participation is possible under the
general terms and provisions of such plans, programs or arrangements, until the earlier of the expiration of eighteen (18) months after termination, or the Executive’s commencement of full time employment with a new employer. The Executive
shall pay all premiums associated with the level of coverage elected by the Executive. 
  
 8. Termination Without Cause or Executive Termination for Good Reason. If, at any time during the Term the Executive is terminated by the Employer without Cause or the Executive terminates this
Agreement for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the following: 
  
 (a) a lump sum payment equal to the Base Salary, less applicable statutory deductions, plus all of the fringe benefits provided to the Executive at the time of termination, each for the remainder of the Term, which
lump sum payment shall be paid as soon as administratively possible after the termination, but not later than the later of (i) the last day of the calendar year in which Executive’s employment terminates, or (ii) the fifteenth
(15th) day of the third calendar month following the date of termination of Executive’s employment; and

  
 (b) payment by the Employer of the premiums
for the Executive’s continued participation in all medical, dental and prescription drug insurance plans, programs or arrangements of the Employer in which the Executive was entitled to participate prior to the date of termination, until the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the three (3) year Term during which the Executive’s employment terminates, or (ii) the expiration of the Company’s obligation to offer continued coverage under any such plans under
applicable law. The Employer’s payment of such premiums shall be taxable income to the Executive; 
  
 (c) payment by the Employer of the premiums for the Executive’s continued participation in all life insurance plans, programs or
arrangements of the Employer in which the Executive was entitled to participate prior to the date of termination, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the three (3) year Term during which the Executive’s employment terminates,
or (ii) the Executive’s commencement of full-time employment with a new employer. 
  
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Employer, he is a “specified employee” as defined in
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), no payment or benefit will be provided under this Section 8 until the earliest of (A) the date which is 6 months after the date of Executive’s
termination of employment, or (B) the date of Executive’s death. The first sentence of this paragraph shall apply only to the extent required to avoid Executive’s incurrence of any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of
the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder. In addition, if any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation) would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the
Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated 
  

 -5- 

 thereunder, the Employer shall reform such provision; provided that the Employer shall (i) maintain, to the maximum
extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and (ii) notify and consult with the Executive regarding such amendments or modifications prior to the
effective date of any such change. 
  
 9. Gross-Up
Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Employer or any of its affiliates to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable
or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (any such payments or distributions being individually referred to herein as a “Payment,” and any two or more of such payments or distributions being
referred to herein as “Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (such excise tax, together with any interest thereon, any penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts with respect to
such excise tax, and any interest in respect of such penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts, being collectively referred herein to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive and the Employer shall make an
additional payment or payments (individually referred to herein as a “Gross-Up Payment,” and any two or more of such additional payments being referred to herein as “Gross-Up Payments”) in an amount such that after payment by
Executive of all Taxes (as defined below) imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of such Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. 
  
 The terms “Tax” and “Taxes” mean any and all taxes of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited
to, any and all Excise Taxes, income taxes and employment taxes), together with any interest thereon, any penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts with respect to such taxes and any interest in respect of such penalties, additions to tax,
or additional amounts. 
  
 10. Non-Disclosure,
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Covenants 
  
 (d) Confidential Information Defined. The Executive acknowledges that Employer’s business is highly competitive, that he will be given immediate and simultaneous access to Confidential Information of Employer that is a valuable,
special, and unique asset used by Employer in its business, and that protection of such Confidential Information against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to Employer. “Confidential Information” of Employer (or any
subsidiary) means and includes confidential and/or proprietary information and/or trade secrets that have been and/or will be developed or used and that cannot be obtained readily by third parties from outside sources. Confidential Information
includes, but is not limited to, the following: information regarding customers, prospective customers, employees, contractors and the industry not generally known to the public; strategies, methods, books, records and documents; strategic business

contact name, service provided, pricing, type and amount of services used, financial data and/or other such information); pricing strategies and price curves; positions; plans or strategies for expansion or acquisitions; budgets; research; financial
and sales data; trading methodologies and terms; communications information; evaluations, opinions and interpretations of information and data; marketing

bids or proposals; technologies and methods; training methods and processes; organizational structure; personnel information; payments or rates paid to consultants or other service providers; Employer’s financial matters; and other such
confidential or proprietary information. 
  
 (b) Non-Disclosure Obligations. The Executive agrees that he will not, at any time during or after his employment with Employer, make any unauthorized disclosure, directly or indirectly, of any Confidential Information of Employer,
its subsidiary, or of any third parties that the Executive received in connection with his employment with Employer, or make any use thereof, directly or indirectly, except in working for Employer. The Executive also agrees that he shall deliver
promptly to Employer at the termination of employment without Employer’s request, or at any other time at Employer’s request, without retaining any copies, all documents and other material in the Executive’s possession relating,
directly or indirectly, to any Confidential Information or other information of Employer, or Confidential Information or other information regarding third parties, learned as an employee at Employer. 
  
 (c) Trade Secrets. The Executive agrees not to,
during or after the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, disclose (or use for the benefit of any person other than the Employer) the specific terms of the Employer’s (including any subsidiary) relationships or agreements with their
respective significant vendors or customers or any other trade secret or other confidential business information of the Employer (including any subsidiary), whether in existence or proposed, to any person, firm, partnership, corporation or business
for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except and only to the extent (i) such information is or becomes known to the public generally through no fault of the Executive or (ii) required by law or legal process following notice to the
Employer. 
  
 (d) Non-Competition
Obligations. In order to protect the Confidential Information and in order to enforce Employee’s agreement not to disclose Confidential Information, Employer and Executive agree that, during the term of the Executive’s employment with
Employer, which may exceed the Term of this Agreement, and for twenty-four (24) months after the termination of the Executive’s employment with Employer (“Non-Competition Period”), the Executive will not, except as an employee of
Employer, in any capacity for the Executive or others, directly or indirectly: 
  
 (i) compete or engage, anywhere in the geographic area comprised of within a 50 mile radius of each Employer subsidiary location in
operation as of the date of termination (the “Market Area”), in a business similar to that of Employer, or compete or engage in that type of business which Employer has plans to engage in, or compete or engage in any business which
Employer has engaged in during the preceding twelve (12) month period if within the twelve (12) months before the termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive had access to or knowledge regarding the proposed plans or the
business in which Employer engaged; 
  
 (ii) take
any action to invest in, own, manage, operate, control, participate in, be employed or engaged by or be connected in any manner with any 
  

 -7- 

 partnership, corporation or other business or entity engaging in a business similar to that of Employer
anywhere within the Market Area; except that the Executive is permitted to own, directly or indirectly, up to five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding securities of any publicly traded financial institution conducting business in the
Market Area; 
  
 (iii) call on, service or
solicit competing business from customers or prospective customers of Employer if, within the twelve (12) months before the termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive had or made contact with the customer or prospective
customer, or had access to information and files about the customer or prospective customer; or 
  
 (iv) call on, solicit or induce any employee of Employer whom the Executive had contact with, knowledge of, or association with in the
course of employment with Employer to terminate employment from Employer, and will not assist any other person or entity in such activities. 
  
 (e) Injunctive Relief. Employer and the Executive acknowledge and agree that breach of any of the covenants made by the Executive
in this Paragraph 7 would cause irreparable injury to Employer, which could not sufficiently be remedied by monetary damages; and, therefore, that Employer shall be entitled to obtain such equitable relief as declaratory judgments; temporary,
preliminary and permanent injunctions; and order of specific performance to enforce those covenants or to prohibit any act or omission that constitutes a breach thereof. If a party must bring suit to enforce this Agreement or to defend any such
action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs related thereto. 
  
 (f) Tolling. In the event that Employer shall file a lawsuit in any Court of competent jurisdiction alleging a breach of any of the
Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, any time period the Executive is in breach of the Agreement shall be deemed tolled as of the time such lawsuit is filed, and shall remain tolled until such dispute finally is resolved. 

 
 11. Return of Employer Property. All records, designs,
patents, business plans, financial statements, manuals, memoranda, lists, contracts and other property delivered to or compiled by the Executive by or on behalf of the Employer or their representatives, vendors or customers which pertain to the
business of the Employer (including any subsidiary) shall be and remain the property of the Employer and subject at all times to its discretion and control. Likewise, all correspondence, reports, records, charts, advertising materials and other
similar data pertaining to the business, activities or future plans of the Employer which is collected by Executive during the course of his employment with the Employer shall be delivered promptly to the Employer without request by it upon
termination of Executive’s employment. 
  
 12.

solely or jointly with another, during the period of employment or within one (1) year thereafter, and which are directly related to the business or activities of the Employer and which the Executive conceives 
  

 -8- 

 as a result of his employment hereunder. The Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign all his interests therein to
the Employer or its nominee. Whenever requested to do so by the Employer, the Executive shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments that the Employer shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain Letters Patent of the
United States or any foreign country or to otherwise protect the Employer’s interest therein. 
  
 13. Arbitration. Any unresolved dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by
arbitration, conducted before a panel of three (3) arbitrators in the state in which the Employer’s main office is located, in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) then in effect, provided that the Executive and the Employer shall comply with the Employer’s grievance procedures in an effort to resolve such dispute or controversy before resorting to arbitration, and provided further that
the parties may agree to use arbitrators other than those provided by the AAA. The arbitrators shall not have the authority to add to, detract from, or modify any provision hereof nor to award punitive damages to any injured party. A decision by a
majority of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators’ award in any court having jurisdiction. The direct expense of any arbitration proceeding shall be apportioned by the arbitration award.

  
 14. Successor; Binding Agreement. The Employer
shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Employer to agree to assume and to assume all of the obligations
of the Employer under this Agreement upon or prior to such succession taking place. A copy of such assumption and agreement shall be delivered to Executive promptly after its execution by the successor. However, this Agreement is personal to the
Executive and the Executive may not assign or transfer any part of his rights or duties hereunder, or any compensation due to him hereunder, to any other person, except that this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees or beneficiaries. 
  
 15. Modification; Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge
is agreed to in a writing signed by the Executive and by such director of the Employer as may be specifically designated by the Board. Waiver by any party of any breach of or failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement by the other party
shall not be construed as, or constitute waiver of such provision, or a waiver of any other breach of, or failure to comply with, any other provision of this Agreement.
