 SECTION 2: COMMITMENT OF LENDER. 
 2.1
Revolving Loans. 
 (a) Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants and undertakings of Borrower set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, Lender agrees to make such Revolving Loans at such times as Borrower may
from time to time request upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender until, but not including, the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and in such amounts as Borrower may from time to time request, provided,
however, that (i) the aggregate principal balance of and accrued and unpaid interest under all Revolving Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Availability, and (ii) the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans
advanced by Lender to Borrower (without reduction for amounts repaid by Borrower) shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Advance Limit, and (iii) unless otherwise approved by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, the
amount requested by Borrower at any one time shall not be less than the Revolving Loan Minimum Advance. Revolving Loans made by Lender may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, borrowed again up to, but not including the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date unless the Revolving Loans are otherwise accelerated, terminated or extended as provided in this Agreement. The Revolving Loans shall be used by Borrower for the purpose of working capital. 
  

 11 

 (b) Revolving Loan Interest and Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 2.1(b), the principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the applicable Revolving Interest Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Loans
outstanding from time to time, shall be due and payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on the fifth (5th) day of the calendar month following the initial disbursement of Loan proceeds and continuing on the fifth (5th) day of each calendar
month thereafter so long as any Revolving Loans are outstanding, and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. From and after maturity, or after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal
balance of the Revolving Loans, at the option of Lender, may accrue at the Default Rate and shall be payable upon demand from Lender. 
 (c) Revolving Loan Principal Payments. 
 (i) Revolving Loan Mandatory Payments.
All Revolving Loans hereunder shall be repaid by Borrower on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, unless payable sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. In the event the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans
hereunder exceeds the Revolving Loan Availability, Borrower shall, without notice or demand of any kind, immediately make such repayments of the Revolving Loans or take such other actions as are satisfactory to Lender as shall be necessary to
eliminate such excess. 
 (ii) Optional Prepayments. Borrower may from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans, in
whole or in part, without any prepayment penalty whatsoever, provided that any prepayment of the entire principal balance of the Revolving Loans shall include accrued interest on such Revolving Loans to the date of such prepayment. 
 2.2 Interest and Fee Computation; Collection of Funds. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all interest and fees shall be calculated on
the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and shall be paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Principal payments submitted in funds not immediately available shall continue to bear interest until collected. If any payment to be made by
Borrower hereunder or under any Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing any interest in respect of such
payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the final payment due under any of the Loans must be made by wire transfer or other immediately available funds. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan
Documents shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all payments hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents (including any payment of principal, interest, or fees) to, or for the
benefit, of any Person shall be made by Borrower free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or account of, any taxes now or hereinafter imposed by any taxing authority. 
  

 12 

 2.3 Late Charge. If any payment of interest or principal due hereunder is not made within
five (5) days after such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof, then, in addition to the payment of the amount so due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a “late charge” of five cents for each whole dollar so overdue to defray
part of the cost of collection and handling such late payment. Borrower agrees that the damages to be sustained by Lender for the detriment caused by any late payment are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that the amount of five
cents for each one dollar due is a reasonable estimate of such damages, does not constitute interest, and is not a penalty. 
 2.4
Taxes. 
 (a) All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
governmental authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on Lender as a result of a present or former connection between Lender and the jurisdiction of the governmental authority imposing
such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (collectively, “Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to
Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the
amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes that are attributable to Lender’s failure to comply with the
requirements of subsection 2.4(c). 
 (b) Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant governmental authority in
accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) At the request of Borrower and at Borrower’s sole cost, Lender shall take
reasonable steps to (i) contest its liability for any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes that have not been paid, or (ii) seek a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes that have been paid. 
 (d) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter Borrower shall send to
Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Lender the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence or if any governmental authority seeks to collect a Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax directly from Lender for any other reason, Borrower shall indemnify Lender on an after-tax basis for any
incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender.

payable by Borrower on demand from Lender. 
 SECTION 6: SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS. 
 6.1 Security for Obligations. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary and as otherwise agreed by Borrower and

hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto without the signature of Borrower that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) is
comprised of all assets of Borrower or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprising a part of the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such
financing statement or amendment is filed, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or within greater detail as the grant of the security interest set forth herein, and (b) contain any other information required by Section 5 of
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed regarding the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether Borrower is
an organization, the type of organization and any Organizational Identification Number issued to Borrower, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to
be cut, a sufficient description of the real property to which the Collateral relates. Borrower hereby agrees that a photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement is sufficient for filing as a financing statement and Borrower authorizes Lender
to file this Agreement as a financing statement in any jurisdiction. Borrower agrees to furnish any such information to Lender promptly upon request. Borrower further ratifies and affirms its authorization for any financing statements and/or
amendments thereto, 

  

 16 

 
executed and filed by Lender in any jurisdiction prior to the date of this Agreement. In addition, Borrower shall make appropriate entries on its books and
records disclosing Lender’s security interests in the Collateral.

which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books, are insured against or bonded over to the satisfaction of Lender and the contesting of such payment does not create a Lien on the Collateral which is not a
Permitted Lien. There is no controversy or objection pending, or threatened in respect of any tax returns of Borrower or Guarantor. Borrower and Guarantor have each made adequate reserves on its books and records in accordance with GAAP for all
taxes that have accrued but which are not yet due and payable.

none of such information is or will be incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which made (it being recognized by Lender that any projections and
forecasts provided by Borrower and Guarantor are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Borrower and Guarantor to be reasonable as of the date of the applicable projections or assumptions and that actual results during the period
or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may differ from projected or forecasted results). 
  

 21 

 SECTION 8: AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 
 8.1 Compliance with Lender Regulatory Requirements; Increased Costs. If Lender shall reasonably determine that any Regulatory Change, or
compliance by Lender or any Person controlling Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change or compliance (taking
into consideration Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender or such controlling Person to be material or would otherwise reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by Lender under this Agreement or under any Note with respect thereto, then from time to time, upon demand by Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount
thereof in reasonable detail), Borrower shall pay directly to Lender or such controlling Person such additional amount as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day
which is one hundred eighty days (180) days prior to the date on which Lender first made demand therefor. 
 8.2 Borrower
Existence. Borrower shall at all times (a) preserve and maintain its existence and good standing in the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) preserve and maintain its qualification to do business and good standing in each
jurisdiction where the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary (other than such jurisdictions in which the failure to be qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), and
(c) continue as a going concern in the business which Borrower is presently conducting. If Borrower does not have an Organizational Identification Number and later obtains one, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such Organizational
Identification Number. 
 8.3 Compliance With Laws. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans for working capital and other
general corporate or business purposes not in contravention of any requirements of law and not in violation of this Agreement, and shall comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, in all respects, including the conduct of its business and
operations and the use of its properties and assets, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, decrees, orders, judgments, licenses and permits, except where failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
In addition, and without limiting the foregoing sentence, Borrower shall (a) ensure, and cause each Subsidiary to ensure, that no person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Borrower or any Subsidiary is or shall be listed
on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Orders, (b) not use or
permit the use of the proceeds of the Loans to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, and (c) comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all applicable
Lender Secrecy Act (“BSA”) laws and regulations, as amended. 
  

 22 

 8.4 Payment of Taxes and Liabilities. Borrower shall pay, and cause each Subsidiary to pay,
and discharge, prior to delinquency and before penalties accrue thereon, all property and other taxes, and all governmental charges or levies against it or any of the Collateral, as well as claims of any kind which, if unpaid, could become a Lien on
any of its property; provided that the foregoing shall not require Borrower or any Subsidiary to pay any such tax or charge so long as it shall contest the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall set aside on its books
adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and, in the case of a claim which could become a Lien on any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings stay the foreclosure of such Lien or the sale of any portion of the Collateral to
satisfy such claim. 
 8.5 Maintain Property. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and keep its plant, properties and
equipment, including the Collateral (if any), in good repair, working order and condition, and shall from time to time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, and additions thereto so that at all times the efficiency thereof
shall be fully preserved and maintained. Borrower shall permit Lender to examine and inspect such plant, properties and Equipment, including any Collateral, at all reasonable times. 
 8.6 Maintain Insurance. Borrower shall at all times maintain, and cause each Subsidiary to maintain, with insurance companies reasonably
acceptable to Lender, such insurance coverage as may be required by any law or governmental regulation or court decree or order applicable to it and such other insurance, to such extent and against such hazards and liabilities, including
employers’, public and professional liability risks, as is customarily maintained by companies similarly situated, and shall have insured amounts no less than, and deductibles no higher than, are reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall
furnish to Lender a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of all insurance maintained by Borrower, which shall be reasonably acceptable in all respects to Lender. Borrower shall cause each issuer of an insurance policy
to provide Lender with an endorsement (i) showing Lender as lender’s loss payee with respect to each policy of property or casualty insurance; and (ii) providing that thirty (30) days notice will be given to Lender prior to any
cancellation of, material reduction or change in coverage provided by or other material modification to such policy. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a collateral assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, of each business
interruption insurance policy maintained by Borrower. 
 In the event Borrower either fails to provide Lender with evidence of the insurance
coverage required by this Section or at any time hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above, or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, then Lender, without waiving or releasing any
obligation or default by Borrower hereunder, may at any time (but shall be under no obligation to so act), obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto, which Lender deems
advisable. This insurance coverage (a) may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interests in such property, including the Collateral, and (b) may not pay any claim made by, or against, Borrower in connection with such property, including
the Collateral. Borrower may later cancel any such insurance purchased by Lender, but only after providing Lender with evidence that Borrower has obtained the insurance coverage required by this Section. If Lender purchases insurance for the
Collateral, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including 

  

 23 

 
interest and any other charges that may be imposed with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the

ERISA), with respect to any such Employee Plans; and (vi) amend any Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified within the meaning of Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to the extent necessary to keep the Employee Plan
qualified, and to cause the Employee Plan to be administered and operated in a manner that does not cause the Employee Plan to lose its qualified status. 
 8.8 Financial Statements. Borrower shall at all times maintain a standard and modern system of accounting, on the accrual basis of accounting and in all respects in accordance with GAAP, and shall
prepare and furnish to Lender or its authorized representatives such financial reports and statements, budgets, information regarding the business affairs, operations and financial condition of Borrower and Guarantor as Lender may reasonably request
from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Borrower. No change with respect to such accounting principles shall be made by Borrower without giving prior notification to Lender. Borrower represents and
warrants to Lender that the financial statements and related information delivered to Lender at or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and to be delivered at all times thereafter accurately reflect and will accurately reflect the

certificate, dated the date of such financial statements and certified as true and correct by an appropriate officer of Borrower, stating that Borrower has not become aware of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default that has occurred and
is continuing or, if there is any such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default describing it and the steps, if any, being taken to cure it.

or other disposal of Hazardous Substances shall occur or shall have occurred on any real property or any other assets of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to, cause the prompt containment
and removal of such Hazardous Substances and the remediation of such real property or other assets as necessary to comply with all Environmental Laws and to preserve the value of such real property or other assets. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, comply with any Federal or state judicial or administrative order requiring the performance at any real property of Borrower or any Subsidiary of activities in response to the
release or threatened release of a Hazardous Substance. To the extent that the transportation of Hazardous Substances is permitted by this Agreement, Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, dispose of such Hazardous Substances, or of
any other wastes, only at licensed disposal facilities operating in compliance with Environmental Laws. 
 8.16 Further
Assurances. Borrower shall take, and cause each Subsidiary to take, such actions as are necessary or as Lender may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations under the Loan Documents are secured by

 25 

 
non- utilization fee shall be (A) calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days, (B) paid for the actual number of days elapsed, and

transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of Borrower. 
 9.7 Unconditional Purchase Obligations. Borrower
shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to enter into or be a party to any contract for the purchase of materials, supplies or other property or services if such contract requires that payment be made by it regardless of whether delivery is

grace provided with respect thereto or in the performance of any other term, condition or covenant contained in any agreement (including any capital or operating lease or any agreement in connection with the deferred purchase price of property)
under which any such obligation is created, the effect of which default is to cause or permit the holder of such obligation (or the other party to such other agreement) to cause such obligation to become due prior to its stated maturity or terminate
such other agreement. 
 11.6 Merger Agreement and Other Material Obligations. Any default or Event of Default by
Borrower under the Merger Agreement; or any default in the payment when due, or in the performance or observance of, any material obligation of, or condition agreed to by, any Obligor with respect to any material purchase or lease of goods or

 11.7 Bankruptcy, Insolvency, etc. Any Obligor becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability or refusal to pay, debts as they become due; or any Obligor applies for,
consents to, or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or other custodian for such Obligor or any property thereof, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or, in the absence of such application, consent or
acquiescence, a trustee, receiver or other custodian is appointed for any Obligor or for a substantial part of the property of any thereof; or any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, or other case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or

of any deterioration or impairment of any of the Collateral or any of the collateral under any security agreement securing any of the Obligations, or any material decline or depreciation in the value or market price thereof (whether actual or
reasonably anticipated), which causes the Collateral, in the sole opinion of Lender acting in good faith, to become unsatisfactory as to value or character, or which causes Lender to reasonably believe that it is insecure and that the likelihood for
repayment of the Obligations is or will soon be impaired, time being of the essence. The cause of such deterioration, impairment, decline or depreciation shall include, but is not limited to, the failure by Borrower to do any act deemed necessary by
Lender to preserve and maintain the value and collectability of the Collateral. 
 11.11 Material Adverse Effect. The
occurrence of any development, condition or event which has a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or Guarantor.

in any manner, or any other holder thereof shall contest in any judicial proceeding, the validity or enforceability of the Subordinated Debt or deny that it has any further liability or obligation thereunder, or the Obligations shall for any reason
not have the priority contemplated by the subordination provisions of the Subordinated Debt. 
 SECTION 12: REMEDIES. 
 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in the Loan Documents, in any written agreement or
instrument (other than this Agreement or the Loan Documents) relating to any of the Obligations or any security therefor, as a secured party under the UCC or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Lender may, at its option upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, declare its commitments to Borrower to be terminated and all Obligations to be immediately due and payable, provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default under Section 11.7, all commitments of Lender to Borrower shall immediately terminate and all Obligations shall be automatically due and payable, all without demand, notice or further action of any kind required on the part of
Lender. Borrower hereby waives any and all presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and hereby consents to, and waives
notice of release, with or without consideration, of any Obligor or any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary. 
 12.1 Possession and Assembly of Collateral. Lender may, without notice, demand or legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral 

  

 30 

 
of which Lender already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may at any time
enter into any of Borrower’s premises where any of the Collateral may be or is supposed to be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of and Lender
shall have the right to store and conduct a sale of the same in any of Borrower’s premises without cost to Lender. At Lender’s request, Borrower will, at Borrower’s sole expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender
at a place or places to be designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower. 
 12.2 Sale of
Collateral. Lender may sell any or all of the Collateral at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as Lender may deem proper, and Lender may purchase any or all of the Collateral at any such sale. Borrower acknowledges
that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or any portion of the Collateral because of certain legal and/or practical restrictions and provisions which may be applicable to the Collateral and, therefore, may be compelled to resort to
one or more private sales to a restricted group of offerees and purchasers. Borrower consents to any such private sale so made even though at places and upon terms less favorable than if the Collateral were sold at public sale. Lender shall have no
obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Lender may apply the net proceeds, after deducting all costs, expenses, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees incurred or paid at any time in the collection, protection and
sale of the Collateral and the Obligations, to the payment of any Note and/or any of the other Obligations, returning the excess proceeds, if any, to Borrower. Borrower shall remain liable for any amount remaining unpaid after such application, with
interest at the Default Rate. Any notification of intended disposition of the Collateral required by law shall be conclusively deemed reasonably and properly given if given by Lender at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of such
disposition. Borrower hereby confirms, approves and ratifies all acts and deeds of Lender relating to the foregoing, and each part thereof, and expressly waives any and all claims of any nature, kind or description which it has or may hereafter have
against Lender or its representatives, by reason of taking, selling or collecting any portion of the Collateral. Borrower consents to releases of the Collateral at any time (including prior to default) and to sales of the Collateral in groups,
parcels or portions, or as an entirety, as Lender shall deem appropriate. Borrower expressly absolves Lender from any loss or decline in market value of any Collateral by reason of delay in the enforcement or assertion or nonenforcement of any
rights or remedies under this Agreement. 
 12.3 Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable
law imposes duties on Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Lender to
prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of,
or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account
Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or
through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise 

  

 31 

 
dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to
contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral,
whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing
so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit
enhancements to insure Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Lender, to
obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide
non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Lender shall not be deemed commercially
unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to grant any rights to Borrower or to impose any duties on Lender that would not have
been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section. 
 12.4 UCC and Offset
Rights. Lender may exercise, from time to time, any and all rights and remedies available to it under the UCC or under any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this
Agreement or in any other agreements between any Obligor and Lender, and may, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, including costs of collection and
attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, and in such order of application as Lender may, from time to time, elect, any indebtedness of Lender to any Obligor, however created or arising, including balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of
such Obligor in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to Lender. Borrower, on behalf of itself and each Obligor, hereby waives the benefit of any law that would otherwise restrict or limit Lender in the exercise of its right, which is
hereby acknowledged, to appropriate at any time hereafter any such indebtedness owing from Lender to any Obligor. 
 12.5 Additional
Remedies. Lender shall have the right and power to: 
 (a) instruct Borrower, at its own expense, to notify any
parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any Account Debtors, to make payment directly to Lender of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or Lender may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of Lender, and/or of
the assignment to Lender of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to Lender of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such Persons
obligated thereon; 
 (b) enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make
any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, 

  

 32 

 
or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any
indebtedness thereunder; 
 (c) take possession or control of any proceeds and products of any of the Collateral, including
the proceeds of insurance thereon; 
 (d) extend, renew or modify for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the
original period) any Note, any other of the Obligations, any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any Note or any of the Obligations; 
 (e) grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to any Note, any of the Obligations, any extension or renewal of any of the
Obligations, any security therefor, or to any other obligor with respect to any Note or any of the Obligations; 
 (f)
transfer the whole or any part of securities which may constitute Collateral into the name of Lender or Lender’s nominee without disclosing, if Lender so desires, that such securities so transferred are subject to the security interest of
Lender, and any corporation, association, or any of the managers or trustees of any trust issuing any of such securities, or any transfer agent, shall not be bound to inquire, in the event that Lender or such nominee makes any further transfer of
such securities, or any portion thereof, as to whether Lender or such nominee has the right to make such further transfer, and shall not be liable for transferring the same; 
 (g) vote the Collateral (if any); 
 (h) make an election with respect to the Collateral under Section 1111 of the Bankruptcy Code or take action under Section 364 or any other section of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that any such
action of Lender as set forth herein shall not, in any manner whatsoever, impair or affect the liability of Borrower hereunder, nor prejudice, waive, nor be construed to impair, affect, prejudice or waive Lender’s rights and remedies at law, in
equity or by statute, nor release, discharge, nor be construed to release or discharge, Borrower, any guarantor or other Person liable to Lender for the Obligations; and 
 (i) at any time, and from time to time, accept additions to, releases, reductions, exchanges or substitution of the Collateral, without in
any way altering, impairing, diminishing or affecting the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any of the other Obligations, or Lender’s rights hereunder, under any Note or under any of the other Obligations. 
 Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do with respect to the Collateral and agrees that Lender shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
mistakes of fact or law with respect to actions taken in connection with the Collateral. 
  

 33 

 12.6 Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints
Lender (and any officer of Lender or any Person designated by Lender for that purpose) as Borrower’s true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in Borrower’s name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to
(i) take such actions as are permitted in this Agreement, (ii) execute such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as Lender may require to perfect and preserve Lender’s security interest in, and to enforce
such interests in the Collateral, and (iii) carry out any remedy provided for in this Agreement, including endorsing Borrower’s name to checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment, and proceeds of the Collateral, executing
change of address forms with the postmaster of the United States Post Office serving the address of Borrower, changing the address of Borrower to that of Lender, opening all envelopes addressed to Borrower and applying any payments contained therein
to the Obligations. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the constitution and appointment of such proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact may do
or cause to be done by virtue of any provision of this Agreement. 
 12.7 No Marshaling. Lender shall not be required to
marshal any present or future collateral security (including this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any
particular order. To the extent that it lawfully may, Borrower hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Lender’s rights under this Agreement
or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it
lawfully may, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. 
 12.8 Application of Proceeds. Lender
will within three (3) Business Days after receipt of cash or solvent credits from collection of items of payment, proceeds of Collateral or any other source, apply the whole or any part thereof against the Obligations secured hereby. Lender
shall further have the exclusive right to determine how, when and what application of such payments and such credits shall be made on the Obligations, and such determination shall be conclusive upon Borrower. Any proceeds of any disposition by
Lender of all or any part of the Collateral may be first applied by Lender to the payment of expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Collateral, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses as provided for in Section 13
hereof. 
 12.9 No Waiver. No Event of Default shall be waived by Lender except in writing. No failure or delay on the
part of Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of Lender to exercise any remedy available to Lender in any order. The remedies provided for herein are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. Borrower agrees that in the event that Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other agreements with
Lender, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to Lender, and further agrees that Lender shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. 
  

 34

Lender’s rights with respect to the Collateral:

interest in property as security for the Obligations; 
 (b) release by Lender of any Obligor or all or any part of the
Collateral or of any party liable with respect to the Obligations;

resorting to remedies against the Collateral. 
 13.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(i) are valid, binding and enforceable against Borrower and Lender in accordance with their respective provisions and no conditions exist as to their legal effectiveness; (ii) constitute the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; and (iii) are the final expression of the intentions of Borrower and Lender. No promises, either expressed or implied, exist between Borrower and Lender, unless contained herein or therein. This
Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, supersedes all negotiations, representations, warranties, commitments, term sheets, discussions, negotiations, offers or contracts (of any kind or nature, whether oral or written) prior to or
contemporaneous with the execution hereof with respect to any matter, directly or indirectly related to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiations among
Lender, Borrower and the other parties thereto, and have been reviewed (or have had the opportunity to be reviewed) by counsel to all such parties, and are the products of all parties. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
not be construed more strictly against Lender merely because of Lender’s involvement in their preparation. 
 13.3 Amendments;
Waivers. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and acknowledged by Lender, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 13.4 WAIVER OF DEFENSES. THE BORROWER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ANY GUARANTOR OF ANY
OF THE OBLIGATIONS, WAIVES EVERY PRESENT AND FUTURE DEFENSE, CAUSE OF ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR SETOFF WHICH THE BORROWER MAY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO ANY ACTION BY LENDER IN ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT. PROVIDED LENDER ACTS IN GOOD FAITH, THE
BORROWER RATIFIES AND CONFIRMS WHATEVER LENDER MAY DO PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER GRANTING ANY FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATION TO THE BORROWER. 
 13.5 FORUM SELECTION AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND OF THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. THE BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR
WITHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT
REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
 13.6 WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. LENDER AND THE BORROWER, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE IRREVOCABLY, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO
ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS, THE COLLATERAL, OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION
HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT OR COURSE OF DEALING IN WHICH LENDER AND THE BORROWER ARE ADVERSE PARTIES, AND EACH AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER GRANTING ANY FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATION TO THE BORROWER. 
  

 36 

 13.7 Assignability. Lender may at any time assign Lender’s rights in this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Obligations, or any part thereof and transfer Lender’s rights in any or all of the Collateral, and Lender thereafter shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such Collateral. In addition,
Lender may at any time sell one or more participations in the Loans. Borrower may not sell or assign this Agreement, or any other agreement with Lender or any portion thereof, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written
consent of Lender. This Agreement shall be binding upon Lender and Borrower and their respective legal representatives and successors. All references herein to Borrower shall be deemed to include any successors, whether immediate or remote.

this Agreement as of the date when it was executed by Borrower, and to complete any such blanks according to the terms upon which this Agreement is executed. 
 13.10 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Loan Documents and any Note shall be delivered and accepted in and shall be deemed to be contracts made under and governed by the internal laws of the
State of Illinois (but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks) applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to conflict of laws principles. 
 13.11 Enforceability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by, unenforceable or invalid under any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be severable and be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 13.12 Survival of Borrower Representations. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein shall,
notwithstanding any investigation by Lender, be deemed material and relied upon by Lender and shall survive the making and execution of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the issuance of any Note, and shall be deemed to be continuing
representations and warranties until such time as Borrower has fulfilled all of its Obligations to Lender, and Lender has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Lender, in extending financial accommodations to Borrower, is expressly acting and
relying on the aforesaid representations and warranties. 
 13.13 Extensions of Lender’s Commitment. This Agreement
shall secure and govern the terms of (i) any extensions or renewals of Lender’s commitment hereunder, and (ii) any replacement note executed by Borrower and accepted by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion in substitution for
any Note. 
  

 37

original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Receipt of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute effective delivery thereof.

Obligations consisting of costs, expenses or advances to be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which are not paid on or prior to the date hereof shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand.

 39

preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do
so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of Lender, the
Obligations shall automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made. 
 13.21 Joint and Several Obligations. If Borrower is comprised of more than one Person, then each Person comprising Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents.

 41Promissory Note

 Exhibit 10.2 
 PROMISSORY NOTE 

			
	$11,361,523.66	  	Dated February 18, 2009

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, ASSET INVESTORS OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the “Maker”), promises to pay to GCP SUNSHINE ACQUISITION, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Payee”), the principal amount of Eleven Million Three Hundred Sixty-One Thousand Five Hundred
Twenty-Three Dollars and Sixty-Six Cents ($11,361,523.66), together with interest on the principal balance at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) until maturity. Interest will be computed on the principal
balance outstanding during the period from the date of this Note until the Maturity Date (as defined below). Interest shall be the product resulting when multiplying the rate of interest by the principal balance outstanding, dividing by 360, and
then multiplying by the actual number of days interest has accrued. 
 The principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued interest
thereon, shall be repaid in a single payment due and payable on February 18, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”). Maker may not prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time or times. 
 Maker’s failure to pay any amounts due hereunder shall constitute a default by Maker (an “Event of Default”) under this Note. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, (i) without notice by Payee to or demand by Payee of Maker, all outstanding indebtedness due hereunder shall be immediately due and payable forthwith and (ii) interest shall accrue on the
principal balance outstanding at the Interest Rate, plus three percent (3%) per annum, calculated from the date of the Event of Default until such principal amount shall be paid in full 
 Under no circumstances shall the interest rate charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that Payee has received interest hereunder in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, Payee shall promptly refund such excess
interest to Maker. 
 All of Payee’s rights and remedies under this Note are cumulative and non-exclusive. 
 Maker, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, for itself and for its successors, transferees and assigns hereby irrevocably waives
presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice, notice of protest and nonpayment, dishonor and notice of dishonor and all other demands or notices of any and every kind whatsoever. 
 Time is of the essence with respect to all of Maker’s obligations and agreements under this Note. 
 In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or
in any respect, or in the event any one or more of the provisions of this Note operate or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Note, then, and in either of such events, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and
shall not affect any other provision of this Note and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain operative and in full force and effect. 

 This Note and all the provisions, conditions, promises and covenants hereof shall inure to the benefit of
Payee, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding in accordance with the terms hereof upon Maker, its successors and assigns. 
 This
instrument shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its choice of law rules.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, intending to be legally bound hereby, has duly executed this
Promissory Note as of the day and year first above written.
