defense. Agent will initiate debit entries to Borrowers’ account as authorized on the ACH Authorization on each payment date of all periodic obligations payable to Lender under the Term Loan A Advances.” 

3. Section 2.2 is amended and restated to read as follows:

end of the applicable Interest Only Period in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments of principal and interest (mortgage style) beginning the first business day of the month following the expiration of the applicable Interest Only Period
and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter through the Term Loan Maturity Date, with a final payment due on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The entire remaining principal balance of the Term Loan B Advance outstanding and all
accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, 

 
shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrowers shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or
defense. Agent will initiate debit entries to Borrowers’ account as authorized on the ACH Authorization on each payment date of all periodic obligations payable to Lender under the Term Loan B Advance. 

4. Borrowers shall pay Agent, on behalf of the applicable Lender, the end of term charge of $400,000 specified in Section 2.6

this Amendment is deemed earned by Lender as of the Second Amendment Date. 
 5. On or after the Second Amendment Date,
no Note or Notes shall be required to evidence the Loans unless requested by Agent. If so requested by Agent by written notice to Administrative Borrower, then Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent (and/or, if applicable and if so specified
in such notice, to any person who is an assignee of Lender pursuant to Section 11.13) (promptly after Administrative Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence Lender’s Loans. 

6. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The
Agreement, as amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment
of, any right, power, or remedy of Lender or Agent under the Loan Documents, as in effect prior to the date hereof. 
 7.
This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. 
 8. HTGC as Agent for Lender. Each of the Trust and HTGC, as Lender, hereby irrevocably appoints HTGC as the agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Agent”) to act on its behalf as
agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on the Collateral granted by Borrowers to
secure any of the Secured Obligations. The Trust and HTGC hereby irrevocably appoint and authorize the Agent (i) to provide Borrower with all notices with respect to Advances obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and
instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to administer the Advances, the Collateral and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto
to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

thereof. Commencing with the annual incentives relating to the 2014 Plan Year, the Plan shall constitute the entire understanding of the Company and the Participants with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede in its entirety all
prior undertakings and arrangements of the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company’s existing annual incentive plan. For the avoidance of doubt, annual incentives for the 2013 fiscal year shall remain subject to the terms of the

units or an individual Participant or team and may differ from Participant to Participant. Performance Goals may be expressed in absolute terms or relative to the performance of one or more other companies or an index covering multiple companies. To
the extent a Performance Goal relates to an award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Performance Goal shall be objectively determinable. The Committee shall have the authority to make appropriate adjustments in
Performance Goal(s) to take into account any of the following events that occur during a performance period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting
principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for discontinued operations, reorganization and restructuring programs, (v) stock-based compensation charges, (vi) amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition related expenses and/or (vii) the impact of any other unusual, non-recurring or otherwise extraordinary items not reflected in such goals; provided that any such adjustments relating

 SECTION 3 
 SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS AND DETERMINATION OF AWARDS 
 3.1 Selection of
Participants. On or prior to the Determination Date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall select from the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries those employees who shall be Participants for the Performance Period. In selecting
Participants, the Committee shall choose individuals who are likely to have a significant impact on the performance of the Company. Participation in the Plan is in the sole discretion of the Committee, and on a Performance Period by Performance
Period basis. Accordingly, an individual who is a Participant for a given Performance Period in no way is guaranteed or assured of being selected for participation in any subsequent Performance Period or Periods. 

3.2 Determination of Performance Goals. On or prior to the Determination Date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall
establish the Performance Goals for each Participant for the Performance Period. Such Performance Goals shall be set forth in writing. 
 3.3 Determination of Target Awards. On or prior to the Determination Date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish a Target Award for each Participant. Each Participant’s Target
Award shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and each Target Award shall be set forth in writing. 
 3.4
Determination of Payout Formula or Formulae. On or prior to the Determination Date, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall establish a Payout Formula or Formulae for purposes of determining the Actual Award (if any) payable to each
Participant. Each Payout Formula shall (a) be in writing, (b) be based on a comparison of actual performance to the Performance Goals, (c) provide for the payment of a Participant’s Target Award if the Performance Goals for the
Performance Period are achieved, and (d) provide for an Actual Award greater than or less than the Participant’s Target Award, depending upon the extent to which actual performance exceeds or falls below the Performance Goals. 

3.5 Determination of Actual Awards. As soon as practicable following the end of each Performance Period, the Committee shall
certify in writing the extent to which the Performance Goals applicable to each Participant for the Performance Period were achieved or exceeded. The Actual Award for each Participant shall be determined by applying the Payout Formula to the level
of actual performance which has been certified by the Committee; provided, however, that notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate or reduce (or, with respect to awards other than awards
that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, increase) the Actual Award payable to any Participant from that which otherwise would be payable under the Payout Formula. To the extent an award is intended to qualify as
Performance-Based Compensation, such award may be paid without regard to the attainment of the Performance Goal only in the event of a Participant’s death or Disability, or in the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control (each as
determined by the Committee in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) or with such additional requirements as the Committee may choose to impose). 
 3.6 Maximum Award. The maximum Actual Award that may be paid under the Plan to a Participant with respect to any one Plan Year shall be $3,000,000. 

  
 5 

 SECTION 4 
 PAYMENT OF AWARDS 
 4.1 Right to Receive Payment. Each Actual Award
that may become payable under the Plan shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right other than as an
unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled. 
 4.2 Timing of Payment.

 (a) Payment of each Actual Award shall be made as soon as practicable after the close of the Performance
Period, following the Committee’s determination of the Actual Award amounts (if any) under Section 3.5; provided, however, that payment shall in all events occur no later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the Performance Period ends.

 (b) The Company shall delay the payment of any Actual Award to the extent necessary to comply with
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (relating to payments made to certain “specified employees” of certain publicly-traded companies); in such event, an Actual Award will be paid on the first business day following the expiration of
the six (6) month period following a Participant’s separation from service. 
 4.3 Form of Payment. Each Actual
Award normally shall be paid in cash (or its equivalent) in a single lump sum. 
 4.4 Other Deferral of Actual Awards.
The Committee may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of Actual Awards. The Committee may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the
mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Committee deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.

 4.5 Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Completed Performance Periods. If a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason (including due to the Participant’s death) after completion of a Performance Period, but prior
to the payment of an Actual Award with respect to such Performance Period, the Actual Award (if any) relating to such Performance Period shall be paid to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s
Beneficiary); provided, however, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate, prorate or otherwise reduce the Actual Award payable to any Participant or to any Participant’s Beneficiary below that which otherwise would be payable.

 (b) Open Performance Periods. 
 (i) General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.5(b)(ii) and 4.5(b)(iii) below, if a Participant’s employment with the Company (or a Related Company) terminates for any reason
during any Performance Period, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant will not be entitled to any Actual Award for that Performance Period. 

  
 6 

 (ii) Termination Due to Death or Disability. If, prior to the completion of a
Performance Period, a Participant’s employment terminates due to the Participant’s death or Disability, the Performance Goal for such Performance Period will be deemed achieved at the target level and a Participant’s Target Award
shall be paid to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Beneficiary); provided, however, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate, prorate or otherwise reduce the Target Award payable to
any Participant or to any Participant’s Beneficiary below that which otherwise would be payable. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary or if each person designated as a Beneficiary predeceases the Participant or dies prior to
distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the Committee shall direct the distribution of such benefits to the Participant’s estate. 
 (iii) For Retirement or Leave of Absence. 
 (1) Awards Intended to
Qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. With respect to awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, if, prior to the completion of a Performance Period, a Participant’s employment with the Company (or a Related
Company) terminates because of Retirement or because of a failure of the Participant to return to employment with the Company (or a Related Company) following the expiration of an approved leave of absence, the Actual Award (if any) relating to such
Performance Period (based on actual results through the entire Performance Period) shall be paid to the Participant; provided, however, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate, prorate or otherwise reduce the Actual Award payable to any
Participant below that which otherwise would be payable. 
 (2) Awards Not Intended to Qualify as Performance-Based
Compensation. With respect to awards that are not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, if, prior to the completion of a Performance Period, a Participant’s employment with the Company (or a Related Company) terminates
because of Retirement or because of a failure of the Participant to return to employment with the Company (or a Related Company) following the expiration of an approved leave of absence, the Performance Goal for such Performance Period will be
deemed achieved at the target level and the Participant’s Target Award shall be paid to the Participant; provided, however, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate, prorate or otherwise reduce the Target Award payable to any
Participant below that which otherwise would be payable. 
 4.6 Payment in the Event of a Corporate Transaction. In the
event of a Corporate Transaction, the Performance Goal for the Performance Period in which such Corporate Transaction takes place shall be deemed achieved as of the date immediately prior to the effective date of such Corporate Transaction and a
Participant’s Target Award shall be paid on the effective date of such Corporate Transaction; provided, however, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate, prorate or otherwise reduce the Target Award payable to any Participant below
that which otherwise would be payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.6 is subject to Section 409A of the Code, such amount shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 4.6
unless the Corporate Transaction triggering such payment would constitute a “change in control event” described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

SECTION 6 

GENERAL PROVISION 
 6.1 Nonassignability. A Participant shall have no right to assign or transfer any interest under this Plan. 
 6.2 No Effect on Employment. The establishment and subsequent operation of the Plan, including eligibility as a Participant, shall not be construed as conferring any legal or other rights upon any
Participant for the continuation of his or her employment for any Performance Period or any other period. Generally, employment with the Company is on an at will basis only. Except as may be provided in an employment contract with the Participant,
the Company expressly reserves the right, which may be exercised at any time during a Performance Period, to terminate any individual’s employment without cause and without regard to the effect such termination might have upon the
Participant’s receipt of an Actual Award under the Plan. 
 6.3 No Individual Liability. In addition to such other
rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or as officers or employees of the Company, members of the Board and any officers or employees of the Company to whom authority to act for the Board, the Committee or the Company is
delegated shall be defended and indemnified by the Company to the extent permitted by law on an after-tax basis against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any
claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan and against all amounts paid
by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in

any such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding that such person
is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct; provided, however, that within thirty (30) days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in
writing, the opportunity at the Company’s expense to defend the same. 
 6.4 Severability; Governing Law. If any
provision of the Plan is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall not affect the other provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid provision has been omitted. The provisions of the
Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State
of Maryland. 
 6.5 Affiliates of the Company. Requirements referring to payment of awards may, in the Committee’s
discretion, be performed through the Company or any affiliate of the Company.
