“Agreement”) dated as of the Effective Date between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and ENTROPIC COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides
the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows: 
  

	 	1	ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS  

 Accounting
terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP (except with respect to monthly reports which do not comply with FAS 123). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in
this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein. 
  

	 	2	LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT  

 2.1 Promise
to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement. 
 2.1.1 Revolving Advances.  
 (a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to deduction of Reserves, Bank will make Advances to Borrower, provided that, after giving effect to such Advances, the total of the
amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), plus an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Reserve, plus the FX Reserve, plus amounts used and reserved for Cash Management Services, and plus the
outstanding principal balance of all Advances shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Dollar Amount, or (ii) the Borrowing Base. 
 (b) Streamline Period. [omitted]. 
 (c) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving
Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable. 
 2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit.  
 (a) Subject to the Overall Sublimit in Section 2.1.5 below, as part of the Revolving Line, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower’s account, provided that, after giving effect to such
Letters of Credit, the total of the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), plus an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Reserve, plus the FX Reserve, plus amounts used and reserved for Cash
Management Services, and plus the outstanding principal balance of all Advances shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Dollar Amount, or (ii) the Borrowing Base. The aggregate amounts utilized hereunder shall at all times reduce
the amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line. If, on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to 105%
of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to said Letters of
Credit. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank’s standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the “Letter of Credit
Application”). Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request. Borrower further agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any
Letters of Credit guarantied by Bank and opened for Borrower’s account or by Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for Borrower’s account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Bank shall not be liable for
any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. 
  

 -1- 

 (b) The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under
Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application. 
 (c) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency. If a demand for payment is made under any such
Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges) in Dollars at the then-prevailing rate of
exchange in San Francisco, California, for sales of the Foreign Currency for transfer to the country issuing such Foreign Currency. 
 (d) To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the “Letter of Credit Reserve”) under the Revolving Line in
an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds
under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding. 
 2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit. Subject to the Overall Sublimit in Section 2.1.5 below, as part of the Revolving Line, Borrower may enter into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from
or sell to Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a “FX Forward Contract”) on a specified date (the “Settlement Date”); provided that, after giving effect to such FX Forward Contracts and the FX Reserve
applicable thereto, the total of the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), plus an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Reserve, plus the FX Reserve, plus amounts used and reserved for Cash
Management Services, and plus the outstanding principal balance of all Advances shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Dollar Amount, or (ii) the Borrowing Base. FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one
(1) FX Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract, such reserve to be in a maximum aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 (the “FX
Reserve”). The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed ten (10) times the amount of the FX Reserve. 
 2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit. Subject to the Overall Sublimit in Section 2.1.5 below, Borrower may use up to $5,000,000 (the “Cash Management Services Sublimit”) of the Revolving Line for Bank’s
cash management services which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Bank’s various cash management services agreements (collectively, the “Cash
Management Services”), provided that, after giving effect to such utilization, the total of the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), plus an amount equal to the Letter of Credit
Reserve, plus the FX Reserve, plus amounts utilized and reserved for Cash Management Services, and plus the outstanding principal balance of any Advances shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Dollar Amount, or (ii) the Borrowing
Base. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to
Advances. 
 2.1.5 Overall Aggregate Sublimit. In no event shall the total amount of (i) outstanding Letters of Credit
(including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), and (ii) the FX Reserve, and (iii) the amount of the Revolving Line utilized for Cash Management Services, at any time exceed $5,000,000 in the
aggregate (the “Overall Sublimit”). 
 2.2 Overadvances. If at any time or for any reason the total of all
outstanding Advances and all other monetary Obligations exceeds the limitation set forth in Section 2.1.l(a) (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the excess to Bank, without notice or demand. Without
limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay to Bank the amount of any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate. 
 2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.  
 (a) Interest Rate; Advances. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest
at a per annum rate based on Borrower’s Liquidity Ratio (as defined below), as follows: 
  

			
	 Liquidity Ratio as of the end of a month
	  	 Interest Rate

	Equal to or greater than 1.75 to 1	  	Prime Rate plus 0.50% (the “Reduced Rate”)
		
	Less than 1.75 to 1	  	Prime Rate plus 2.0% (the “Regular Rate”)

  

 -2- 

 Interest shall be payable monthly. 
 Changes in the interest rate based on the Borrower’s Liquidity Ratio as provided above shall go into effect as of the first day of the month following the month in which Borrower’s financial statements are received, reviewed and
approved by Bank. If, based on the Liquidity Ratio as shown in Borrower’s financial statements there is to be an increase in the interest rate, the interest rate increase may be put into effect by Bank as of the first day of the month closest
to the date on which the financial statements are due, even if the delivery of the financial statements is delayed. As used above, “Liquidity Ratio” shall mean the ratio of the following (as determined by Bank): (A) the sum of
Borrower’s unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents and net billed Accounts to (B) all of Borrower’s Obligations plus all Indebtedness of Borrower to Horizon Technology Funding Company, LLC determined in accordance with GAAP.

 (b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations
shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points above the rate which is otherwise applicable to the Obligations (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this
Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank. 
 (c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be
effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change. 
 (d) 360-Day
Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (e) Debit of
Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

 (f) Minimum Monthly Interest. [omitted]. 
 (g) Payment; Interest Computation; Float Charge. Interest is payable monthly on the last calendar day of each month. In computing
interest on the Obligations, all Payments received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. In addition, so long as any principal or interest with respect to any Credit Extension remains
outstanding, Bank shall be entitled to charge Borrower a “float” charge in an amount equal to one (1) Business Day interest (provided, however, while the Reduced Rate is in effect, then the float charge will not be
applicable), at the interest rate applicable to the Advances, on all Payments received by Bank. Said float charge is not included in interest for purposes of computing Minimum Monthly Interest (if any) under this Agreement. The float charge for each
month shall be payable on the last day of the month. Bank shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Bank in its good faith business judgment, and Bank may
charge Borrower’s Designated Deposit Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Bank unpaid. 
 2.4 Fees.
Borrower shall pay to Bank: 
 (a) Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of $35,000, on the
Effective Date, provided, however, if Borrower elects to increase the Maximum Dollar Amount to $10,000,000 before the first anniversary of the Effective Date, then an additional $15,000 on the date of such election pro-rated for the
remainder of the year until the first anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, further, if Borrower elects to increase the Maximum Dollar Amount to $10,000,000 after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, then an additional
$15,000 on the date of such election pro-rated for the remainder of the year until the second anniversary of the Effective Date; and 
  

 -3- 

 (b) Letter of Credit Fee. Bank’s customary fees and expenses for the issuance
or renewal of Letters of Credit, including, without limitation, a Letter of Credit Fee of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued, upon the issuance or renewal of such Letter of Credit by Bank;
and 
 (c) Termination Fee. [omitted]; and 
 (d) Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. [omitted]; and 
 (e) Collateral Monitoring Fee. A monthly collateral monitoring fee of $750, payable in arrears on the last day of each month
(prorated for any partial month at the beginning and upon termination of this Agreement), provided, however, while the Reduced Rate is in effect, then the Collateral Monitoring Fee will not be applicable; and 
 (f) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and expenses for documentation and
negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due; and 
 (g) Anniversary Fee. A
fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of $35,000, on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, provided, however, if Borrower elects, prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, to increase the Maximum Dollar Amount
to $10,000,000, then an additional $15,000 on the first anniversary of the Effective Date; and 
 (h) Good Faith
Deposit. Borrower has paid to Bank a deposit of $10,000 (the “Good Faith Deposit”) to initiate Bank’s due diligence review process. Any portion of the Good Faith Deposit not utilized to pay Bank Expenses will be applied to the
Commitment Fee.

	 	4	CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the
Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the
general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank. 
 This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of
termination is given to Bank or if Bank’s obligation to fund Credit Extensions terminates pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1 .l(c). Notwithstanding any such termination, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral shall
continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and cash-collateralized Letters of Credit following maturity). Upon payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and
cash-collateralized Letters of Credit following maturity) and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall release its liens and security interests in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert
to Borrower. 
  

 -5- 

 4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing
statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be
deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. 
  

	 	5	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES  

 Borrower
represents and warrants as follows: 
 5.1 Due Organization and Authorization. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are duly existing
and in good standing in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to do business and are in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of their business or their ownership of property requires that they
be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by Borrower entitled “Perfection
Certificate”. Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is
organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the
Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each
of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the
Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries as accurate and complete. If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with
Borrower’s organizational identification number. 
 The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly
authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by
which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 
 5.2 Collateral. Borrower
has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit account other than the deposit accounts with Bank and deposit accounts described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith.

 The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse). Except as hereafter disclosed to Bank in writing
by Borrower, none of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the
Collateral greater than $50,000 per location to a bailee, then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. 
 All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. 
 5.3 Accounts Receivable.  
 (a) For each Account with respect to which Advances are requested, on the date each Advance is requested and made, such Account shall be an Eligible Account, set forth in Section 13 below. 
 (b) All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing the Accounts are and
shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of Borrower’s Books are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Account
shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. Borrower has and will have no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are shown as Eligible
Accounts in any Transaction Report. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Accounts are and will be genuine, and all such documents, instruments and
agreements are and will be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms. 
  

 -6- 

 5.4 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the
Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than $250,000 except for the potential Sonics contract litigation identified by Borrower in the Perfection Certificate. 
 5.5 No Material Deviation in Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to
Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations, it being understood that projections and forecasts are not to be viewed as facts and actual results
may vary. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank. 
 5.6 Solvency. Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature. 
 5.7 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company” under the Investment Company Act. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all
material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to, cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any of its
Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than
legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as
currently conducted. 
 5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not have any Subsidiaries, other than Entropic Communications
(Hong Kong) Limited and other Subsidiaries organized with the prior written consent of Bank, and does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities in any other Person, except for Permitted Investments. 
 5.9 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid
all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower. Borrower may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by
appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent
the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien”. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax
years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has
not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower,
including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency. 
 5.10 Use of
Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital, and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes. 
 5.11 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank, as
of the date such representations, warranties, or other statements were made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as
facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

promptly notify Bank of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate. Borrower may forgive (completely or partially), compromise, or settle any Account for less than payment in fill, or agree to do any of the
foregoing so long as (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, in the ordinary course of business, in arm’s-length transactions, and reports the same to Bank in the regular reports provided to Bank; and
(ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) after taking into account all such discounts, settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding Advances will not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Line or the
Borrowing Base. 
 (c) Collection of Accounts. Borrower shall have the right to collect all Accounts, unless and until
a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts in trust for Bank, and Borrower shall immediately
deliver all such payments and proceeds to Bank in their original form, duly endorsed. While the Reduced Rate is in effect, and provide no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts shall be
deposited by Bank into Borrower’s operating account maintained at Bank. While the Regular Rate is in effect, and after a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts shall be applied to
the Obligations pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof. Bank may, in its good faith business judgment, require that all proceeds of Accounts be deposited by Borrower into a lockbox account, or such other “blocked account” as Bank
may specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Bank may specify in its good faith business judgment. 
 (d) Returns. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower, Borrower shall promptly (i) determine the reason for such return, (ii) issue a credit
memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate amount, and (iii) provide a copy of such credit memorandum to Bank, upon request from Bank. In the event any attempted return occurs after the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, Borrower shall hold the returned Inventory in trust for Bank, and immediately notify Bank of the return of the Inventory. 
 (e) Verification. Bank may, from time to time, upon prior notice to Borrower (via an invoice copy request or otherwise) verify directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters
relating to the Accounts, either in the name of Borrower or Bank or such other name as Bank may choose; provided, however, the Bank shall not incur any liability for inadvertently or negligently failing to provide such notice.

 (f) No Liability. Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or
destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Account, or for
settling any Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Bank be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an Account. Nothing herein shall, however,
relieve Bank from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 6.4 Remittance of Proceeds. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 6.3(c), deliver, in kind, all proceeds arising from the disposition of any Collateral to Bank in the original form in which received by Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be
applied to the Obligations pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof; provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Bank the proceeds of the sale of worn out or
obsolete Equipment disposed of by Borrower in good faith in an arm’s length transaction for an aggregate purchase price of 

  

 -9- 

 
$50,000 or less (for all such transactions in any fiscal year). Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower’s
other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other finds and property and in an express trust for Bank. Nothing in this Section limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement. 
 6.5 Taxes; Pensions. Timely file all required tax returns and reports and timely pay all foreign, federal, state and
local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower except for deferred payment of any taxes contested pursuant to the terms of Section 5.9 hereof, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and
deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms. 
 6.6 Access to Collateral; Books and Records. At reasonable times, on
two (2) Business Day’s notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Bank, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit and copy Borrower’s
Books. The parties contemplate that the initial audit will be conducted within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, and thereafter such audits will be performed no more frequently than semi-annually, but nothing herein restricts Bank’s
right to conduct such audits more frequently if (i) Bank believes that it is advisable to do so in Bank’s good faith business judgment, or (ii) Bank believes in good faith that a Default or Event of Default has occurred. The foregoing
inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense, and the charge therefor shall be $750 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses; provided that the charges for each such audit shall not exceed $2,500 (but said limitation shall not apply if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). In the event Borrower and Bank schedule an audit more than ten
(10) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to reschedules the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Bank and Bank incurs a fee for such cancellation, then (without limiting any of Bank’s rights or remedies),
Borrower shall pay Bank such fee plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling. 
 6.7 Insurance. Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Borrower’s industry and
location and as Bank may reasonably request. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts that are satisfactory to Bank in its good faith business judgment. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable
endorsement showing Bank as an additional lender loss payee and waive subrogation against Bank, and all liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured. All policies (or the loss payable and additional
insured endorsements) shall provide that the insurer must give Bank at least twenty (20) days notice before canceling, amending, or declining to renew its policy. At Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver certified copies of policies and
evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any policy shall, at Bank’s option, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall have the option of applying the proceeds of any casualty policy up to $50,000, in the aggregate, toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided that any such replaced or repaired property
(i) shall be of equal or like value as the replaced or repaired Collateral and (ii) shall be deemed Collateral in which Bank has been granted a first priority security interest, and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under such casualty policy shall, at the option of Bank, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.7 or to pay any
amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Bank, Bank may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.7, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent.

 6.8 Operating Accounts.  
 (a) Maintain its primary depository and operating accounts and securities accounts with Bank and Bank’s affiliates which accounts shall represent at least 85% of the dollar value of Borrower’s accounts at
all financial institutions. 
 (b) Provide Bank five (5) days prior written notice before establishing any Collateral
Account at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or its Affiliates. In addition, for each Collateral Account that Borrower at any time maintains, Borrower shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution (other than Bank)
at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Bank’s Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the
terms hereunder. The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified
to Bank by Borrower as such.

 6.9 Financial Covenants. [omitted]  
 6.10 Intellectual Property Rights. Borrower shall: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to protect, defend and maintain the validity and
enforceability of its intellectual property; (b) promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements of its intellectual property; and (c) not allow any intellectual property material to Borrower’s business to be abandoned,
forfeited or dedicated to the public without Bank’s written consent. Borrower hereby advises Bank that it will, in certain instances, deposit certain source codes relating to Intellectual Property into escrow pursuant to arrangements entered
into in the ordinary course of business, and Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that Borrower shall at all times retain title to such source codes so deposited (the “Escrow Deposits”). 
 6.11 Litigation Cooperation. From the date hereof and continuing through the termination of this Agreement, make available to Bank, without
expense to Bank, Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrower’s books and records, to the extent that Bank may deem them reasonably necessary to prosecute or defend any third-party suit or proceeding instituted by or against
Bank with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower. 
 6.12 [omitted] 
 6.13 Further Assurances. Borrower shall execute any further instruments and take further action as Bank reasonably requests to perfect or continue
Bank’s Lien in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

 7.8 Transactions with Affiliates. Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate

shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement: 
 8.1 Payment Default. Borrower
fails to (a) make any payment of principal’ or interest on any Credit Extension on its due date, or (b) pay any other Obligations within three (3) Business Days after such Obligations are due and payable. During the cure period,
the failure to cure the payment default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension will be made during the cure period); 
 8.2
Covenant Default. 
 (a) Borrower fails or neglects to perform any obligation in Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.6 or
6.8, or violates any covenant in Section 7; or 
 (b) Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other
term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Loan Documents, and as to any default (other than those specified in this Section 8) under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that
can be cured, has failed to cure the default within ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10) day period 

  

 -13- 

 
or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable time,
then Borrower shall have an additional period (which shall not in any case exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such reasonable time period the failure to cure the default shall not be deemed an Event of
Default (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during such cure period). Grace periods provided under this section shall not apply, among other things, to financial covenants or any other covenants set forth in subsection (a) above;

 8.3 Material Adverse Change. A Material Adverse Change occurs; 
 8.4 Attachment. (a) Any material portion of Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or

Borrower’s assets; or (e) a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against any of Borrower’s assets by any government agency and not paid within ten (10) days after Borrower receives notice. These are not Events of Default
if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by Borrower within ten days after the date such events occur (but no Credit Extensions shall be made during the cure period); 
 8.5 Insolvency. (a) Borrower is unable to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they become due or otherwise becomes insolvent;
(b) Borrower begins an Insolvency Proceeding; or (c) an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against Borrower and not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45) days (but no Credit Extensions shall be made while of any of the conditions
described in clause (a) exist and/or until any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed); 
 8.6 Other Agreements. There is a default
in any agreement to which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $150,000 or that
could result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to Borrower’s; provided, however, that the Event of Default under this Section 8.6 caused by the occurrence of a default under such other agreement shall be cured or waived for
purposes of this Agreement upon Bank receiving written notice from the party asserting such default of such cure or waiver of the default under such other agreement, if at the time of such cure or waiver under such other agreement (a) Bank has
not declared an Event of Default under this Agreement and/or exercised any rights with respect thereto; (b) any such cure or waiver does not result in an Event of Default under any other provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document; and
(c) in connection with any such cure or waiver under such other agreement, the terms of any agreement with such third party are not modified or amended in any manner which could in the good faith judgment of Bank be materially less advantageous

made prior to the satisfaction or stay of such judgment); 
 8.8 Misrepresentations. Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes
any representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to Bank or to induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other
statement is incorrect in any material respect when made; 
 8.9 Subordinated Debt. A default or breach occurs under any agreement

 -14- 

 (b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this
Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank; 
 (c) demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank
in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and
(ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit; 
 (d) terminate any FX Forward Contracts; 
 (e) demand payment of, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles
comprising Collateral, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts, on terms, and in any order that Bank considers advisable, notify any Account Debtor or other Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security
interest in such funds, verify the amount of the same and collect the same; 
 (f) make any payments and do any acts it
considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the
Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank
a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies; 
 (g)
apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; 
 (h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby
granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter,
or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all
licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit; 
 (i) place a “hold on any account maintained with
Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral; 
 (j) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and 
 (k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under
the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof). 
 9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign
Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines
reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based
thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign
Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and
cash-collateralized Letters of Credit following maturity) have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of
Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and cash collateralized Letters of Credit following maturity) have been fully repaid and performed and
Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates. 
  

 -15- 

 9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.7
or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank
Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is
obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default. 
 9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank shall apply any funds in its possession,
whether from Borrower account balances, payments, or proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, first, to Bank Expenses, including without limitation, the reasonable costs, expenses,
liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees incurred by Bank in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement; second, to the interest due upon any of the Obligations; and third, to the principal of the Obligations and any applicable fees
and other charges, in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the
Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, in its good faith business
judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount
of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor. 
 9.5 Bank’s
Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the
safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral. 
 9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to
require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver
hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all
rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy
is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. 
 9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of
payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

	 	11	CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE. 

 California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County,
California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the
Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it
may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the
summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10
of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. 
 TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS
AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER
WITH ITS COUNSEL. 
 WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the
above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected
by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal
law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be
conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure 88 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation,
entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If
during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior
Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall
be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings
in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement 

  

 -17- 

 
of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any
time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

Agreement and the Loan Documents.

 WHEREAS, Executive is willing to continue to serve in the employ of the Company on a full-time basis on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided,
the parties hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES. 

 (a)
Position. During the period of employment established by Section 2(a) of this Agreement (the “Employment Period”), Executive agrees to serve, if appointed to serve, as the Senior Vice President and Controller, Accounting

Executive shall have and exercise the duties, responsibilities, privileges, powers and authority commensurate with such position as the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has assigned and may hereafter assign to Executive.

 (c) Faithful Performance. Except for periods of paid time off taken in accordance with Section 3(t) hereof or following a
Disability Determination made in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof, or for services performed for the Company’s Affiliates (as defined below) Executive shall devote substantially all of her business time, attention, skill and efforts
during the Employment Period to the faithful performance of her duties hereunder, and shall not engage in any business or activity that interferes with the performance of such duties or conflicts with the business, affairs or interests of the
Company or the Bank; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may: (i) perform her obligations under any employment agreement hereafter entered into between the Bank and Executive (the “Bank Agreement”); and
(ii) hold directorships, offices or other positions in one or more other organizations to the extent permitted by the Company’s Professional Responsibility Policy, as amended from time to time, or as otherwise approved by the Board or the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. 
 (d) Performance Standards. During the Employment Period, Executive shall perform her duties
in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Company, as amended from time to time, such reasonable performance standards as the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company has established or may hereafter establish in the exercise
of good faith

the Chief Executive Officer of the Company has established or may hereafter establish in the exercise of good faith business judgment. 
  

	2.	TERM OF EMPLOYMENT. 

 (a) Term. The
Employment Period shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall thereafter continue for a period of twenty-four (24) months unless extended as provided herein. On or before each anniversary of the Effective Date during the Employment Period
(each an “Anniversary Date”), the Board, subject to the review process set forth in Section 2(b) hereof, may extend the Employment Period for an additional one (I) year so that the remaining term of the Employment Period shall
then be twenty-four (24) months. All references herein to the Employment Period shall mean, for all purposes of this Agreement, Executive’s Employment Period as initially established by, and as may subsequently be extended pursuant to,
this Section 2(a). 
 (b) Annual Review. The Board or the Board’s Human Resources Committee (the “Human Resources
Committee”) shall review this Agreement and the compensation arrangements provided for herein at least annually on, before or within a reasonable time (not to exceed forty-five (45) days) after each Anniversary Date. As part of each annual
review, the Board or the Human Resources Committee shall determine whether or not to increase Executive’s Base Salary as provided in Section 3(a) hereof and to extend the Employment Period for an additional one (1) year as provided in
Section 2(a) hereof. The rationale and results of such review, and the justification for any such increase or extension, shall be documented in the minutes of the meeting at which the Board or the Human Resources Committee conducted such
review, or in any written performance reviews referenced in such minutes. The Board, the Human Resources Committee or a person designated by either of them shall notify Executive in writing as soon as practicable, and not later than forty-five
(45) days, after each applicable Anniversary Date, of the results of such review, including its decision whether or not to increase Executive’s Base Salary and to extend the Employment Period. A decision by or the failure of the Board or
the Human Resources Committee to increase Executive’s Base Salary and/or to extend the Employment Period shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or a “Good Reason” under Section 5(b) hereof. All decisions and actions of
the Human Resources Committee pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be subject to ratification by the Board only to the extent, if any, that ratification may be required by applicable laws and regulations.

be entitled to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation and bonuses to the extent earned pursuant to any plan or arrangement of the Company or the Bank in which Executive is eligible to participate during the Employment Period, or to such
other extent as the Board or its Human Resources Committee may determine in its discretion to award to Executive.

 (d) Special Allowances. The Company shall provide Executive with either the use of an automobile or an automobile allowance and either the use of
a cellular telephone or a cellular telephone allowance during the Employment Period in accordance with the standard policies and practices of the Company and consistent with that provided to Executive as of the Effective Date; provided that the

 (e) Reimbursement of
Expenses. The Company shall payor reimburse Executive in accordance with the standard policies and practices of the Company for all reasonable expenses incurred by Executive during the Employment Period in connection with her employment

(“401(k) Plan”) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) that is now or hereafter sponsored by the Company, in each case subject to the Company’s policies concerning employee payments and contributions under such plans.
The Company shall not make any changes to any Core Plan that would materially and adversely affect Executive’s rights or benefits under such plan unless such changes are made applicable to all non-probationary fulltime employees of the Company
on a non-discriminatory basis. Nothing paid to Executive under any Core Plan or any 401(k) Plan or ESOP shall be deemed to be in lieu of any other compensation that Executive is entitled to receive under this Agreement. 
  

 3 

 (h) Disability Insurance. During the Employment Period, the Company may provide Executive with a
disability insurance policy with coverage sufficient to provide Executive with annual disability insurance payments in an amount up to sixty percent (60%) of Executive’s Base Salary for a period at least equal to the then remaining term of
the’ Employment Period (the “Disability Policy”) in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of a Disability Determination (as defined below). If a Disability Policy is so provided, Executive shall be
responsible for the payment of all premiums on the Disability Policy and shall cooperate with the Company in all respects as necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to procure the Disability Policy, and the Company shall provide Executive

the year in which such premiums are paid.

The Executive shall make reasonable good faith efforts to notify the Company of the receipt of Disability Payments. 
  

	4.	TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY. 

 (a) Termination For
Cause. The Board may terminate Executive’s employment with the Company “For Cause” at any time during the Employment Period, subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 4(a) and in Section 7 of this Agreement.
A termination “For Cause” shall mean the Company’s termination of Executive’s full-time employment hereunder because of Executive’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving
personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses), or final cease-and-desist order, a repeated and material failure to achieve minimum
objectives under a Business Plan established in accordance with Section 1 (d) of this Agreement, a repeated and material failure of Executive to meet reasonable performance standards established in accordance with Section led) of this
Agreement, or a material breach of any provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated For Cause unless and until (i) there shall have been delivered to Executive a written
notice of the Board’s intention to terminate Executive’s employment For Cause, specifying the alleged grounds for such termination; (ii) if the alleged grounds for such termination are a material breach of this Agreement, a repeated
and material failure to achieve minimum objectives under a Business Plan established in accordance with Section I (d) of this Agreement, or a repeated and material failure of Executive to meet reasonable performance standards established in
accordance with Section led) of this Agreement, providing Executive with a reasonable opportunity to cure, if curable, any conduct or acts alleged to be such; (iii) following 

  

 4 

 
delivery of such written notice, Executive (together with any counsel selected by her) shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to present to the
Board, at a meeting called and held for or including that purpose, Executive’s position regarding any dispute that exists regarding the alleged grounds for termination For Cause; and (iv) the Board shall adopt a resolution by the
affirmative vote of not less than a majority of its members, finding in good faith and on the basis of reasonable evidence that Executive was guilty of conduct justifying a termination For Cause. The Notice of Termination (as defined in
Section 7 below) issued in connection with the termination of Executive’s employment For Cause shall be accompanied by a copy of such resolution. Should a dispute arise concerning the Executive’s termination For Cause, any review of
the For Cause termination in any judicial or arbitration proceeding will be limited to a determination of whether the Board acted in good faith and on the basis of reasonable evidence. The Board shall also be deemed to have terminated
Executive’s employment with the Company For Cause if Executive’s employment with the Bank is terminated For Cause during the Employment Period in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Bank Agreement. 
 (b) Termination for Disability. Upon a determination (a “Disability Determination”) of Disability (as defined below), the Board, in its
discretion, may terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time from and after the date of such Disability Determination. Following a Disability Determination, the Board may, in lieu of terminating Executive’s employment by
reason of the Disability Determination, appoint one or more other persons to serve as Acting Senior Vice President and Controller, Accounting Department, Finance Division of the Company to fulfill, on a temporary basis, the duties and
responsibilities of Executive. Any such temporary appointment shall be without prejudice to the Board’s right to thereafter terminate Executive’s employment based on a Disability Determination made pursuant to this Section 4(b) or as
otherwise provided herein. The Board shall also be deemed to have terminated Executive’s employment with the Company based on a “Disability Determination” if Executive’s employment with the Bank is terminated during the
Employment Period based on a “Disability Determination” in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 4(b) of the Bank Agreement. The term “Disability” shall mean that (i) the Executive is unable to engage in
any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or
(ii) the Executive is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income
replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company. 
 (c)
Termination Without Cause. The Board, in its discretion, may terminate Executive’s employment with the Company “Without Cause” at any time, subject to the notification requirements set forth in Section 7 hereof. A
termination “Without Cause” shall mean the Board’s termination of Executive’s employment for any reason other than a termination For Cause or a termination based on a Disability Determination or death. The Board shall also be
deemed to have terminated Executive’s employment with the Company Without Cause if Executive’s employment with the Bank is terminated during the Employment Period “Without Cause” in accordance with the requirements set forth in
the Bank Agreement. 
  

 5 

 (d) Termination under Code Section 409A. Any termination described in this Section 4
will only be deemed to have occurred if such termination constitutes a “separation from service” as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor thereto (the “Code”).

  

	5.	TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE OR BY REASON OF DEATH. 

 (a) Termination By Resignation. Executive may, in her discretion, terminate her employment with the Company “By Resignation” at any time during the Employment Period, subject to the notification requirements set forth in
Section 7 hereof. A termination “By Resignation” shall mean Executive’s termination of her employment for any reason other than a “Good Reason” as such term is defined in Section 5(b) hereof. Executive shall also
be deemed to have resigned her employment with the Company, and to have terminated her employment with the Company By Resignation, if Executive’s employment with the Bank is terminated during the Employment Period By Resignation in accordance
with the requirements set forth in the Bank Agreement. 
 (b) Termination For Good Reason. Executive may terminate Executive’s
employment with the Company for “Good Reason,” subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 5(b) and the notification requirements set forth in Section 7 hereof. A termination for “Good Reason” shall mean
Executive’s resignation from the Company’s employ during the Employment Period based upon any of the following reasons, but only if taken or occurring during the Employment Period without Executive’s prior written consent: (i) a
decision by the Board not to elect or re-elect or to appoint or re-appoint Executive to the office of Senior Vice President and Controller, Accounting Department, Finance Division of the Company; (ii) the Board’s relocation of

Salary; (iv) a material uncured breach of this Agreement by the Company; (v) Executive’s termination of her employment with the Bank for “Good Reason” as defined in the Bank Agreement; and (vi) the Bank’s

of the Company a Notice of Termination (as defined below) within sixty (60) days after the act, omission or event giving rise to said right to elect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not have a right to elect to terminate her
employment (i) based on the events set forth in this Section 5(b) solely on the basis of the Board’s appointment of an Acting Senior Vice President and Controller, Accounting Department, Finance Division of the Company following a
Disability Determination made in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Agreement, or (ii) if the Company fully rescinds or cures, within ten (10) days after its receipt of Executive’s Notice of Termination, the act, omission or
event giving rise to Executive’s right to elect to terminate her employment for Good Reason. Executive shall also be deemed to have terminated her employment with the Company for Good Reason if Executive’s employment with the Bank is
terminated during the Employment Period for Good Reason in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Bank Agreement. 
  

 6 

 (c) Termination Upon Death. Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate
immediately upon Executive’s death, without regard to the notification requirements set forth in Section 7 hereof. 
 (d)
Termination under Code Section 409A. Any termination described in this Section 5 will only be deemed to have occurred if such termination constitutes a “separation from service” as defined under Code Section 409A.

  

	6.	FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION.

 8 

 
pay Executive the same amounts that Executive would have been paid pursuant to Sections 6(c)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), and shall provide Executive (and
upon her death her surviving spouse and minor children, if any) with the same coverages under the Core Plans coverage that Executive (and her spouse and minor children, if any) would have been provided pursuant to Section 6(c)(v) (subject to

provided pursuant to Section 6(c)(vi) (subject to the payment of the costs specified therein) if Executive’s employment had been terminated by the Company Without Cause on the effective date of the termination of Executive’s

executor, trustee, administrator or personal representative, as applicable), shall, at the time the first of any such payments and other benefits is tendered, execute and deliver to the Company a general release in favor of the Company and its
Affiliates (as defined below), releasing all claims, demands, causes of actions and liabilities arising out of this Agreement, Executive’s employment or the termination thereof, including, but not limited to, claims, demands, causes of action

provided in Section 8(t) below, a period of eighteen (18) months commencing on the effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment. 
 (c) Confidentiality. Executive recognizes and acknowledges that personal information and knowledge thereof regarding the customers of the Company and its Affiliates are protected by state and federal law and
the Privacy Principles of the Company and its Affiliates, as amended from time to time (collectively, “Protected Customer Information”), and that customer lists, trade secrets, nonpublic financial information, and nonpublic past, present,
planned or considered business activities of the Company and its Affiliates and any plans for such business activities (collectively, “Proprietary Information”) are valuable, special and unique assets of the Company. Executive will not,
during or after the Employment Period, disclose any Protected Customer Information or Proprietary Information or her knowledge thereof to any person or Legal Entity other than the Company or any Affiliate, or use any Protected Customer Information
or Proprietary Information to the detriment of the Company, any Affiliate or any of their respective customers or employees, or for the benefit of herself, any person or any Legal Entity, for any reason or purpose whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive may (i) disclose and use information that becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or omission of Executive, but only if the disclosure of such information is not restricted by any applicable state or federal laws or
regulations and the information is not received from a person who was or is bound by an obligation not to disclose such information; (ii) disclose and use any financial, banking, business or economic principles, concepts or ideas that do not
constitute Protected Customer Information or Proprietary Information; (iii) disclose any information regarding the business activities of the Company or its Affiliates to a governmental authority pursuant to a formal written request made by
such governmental authority; and (iv) disclose any information required to be disclosed by Executive pursuant to an 
  
  

 12 

 
order or judicial process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that to the extent not prohibited by applicable state or
federal law, Executive shall provide the Company or the applicable Affiliate with at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of her intention to disclose information pursuant to subparagraph (Hi) or (iv) of this Section 8(c).

 (d) Cooperation in Legal Proceedings. During the Employment Period and for a period equal to three (3) years from the
effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish such cooperation, information and assistance to the Company as may reasonably be required by the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company in connection with any pending or threatened judicial, administrative or arbitration proceeding or any investigation that is based on events or circumstances in which Executive had personal knowledge or involvement and in which the Company
or any of its Affiliates is or may become a party or target, except for proceedings instituted against Executive by the Company or any governmental or regulatory authority, or proceedings instituted by Executive against the Company to enforce the
terms of this Agreement or any other duties or obligations of the Company to Executive. The Company, or if applicable, its Affiliate, shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Executive in providing such
cooperation, information and assistance. Unless Executive’s appearance is compelled by a court order or other legal process, Executive shall not be obligated to devote more than two (2) days per calendar month in fulfilling her obligations
under this Section 8(d), and the Company or its Affiliate shall make reasonable accommodations to avoid interfering with any duties that Executive may then have to any client or other employer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 8(d) or this Agreement, while Executive will be encouraged to voluntarily provide sworn testimony where appropriate, Executive shall have no duty to provide sworn testimony in any judicial, arbitration or discovery proceeding except as
may be required by any rule of procedure, subpoena or judicial process applicable to or enforceable against Executive, and in no case shall Executive be required to provide any testimony that, in the judgment of Executive, might or could expose her
to civil liability or compromise her privilege against self incrimination. Any testimony given by Executive in such a proceeding shall be truthful, but in no event shall the content of any testimony given by Executive in such a proceeding constitute
a breach of this Section 8( d) or any other provision of this Agreement. Executive may condition her providing of assistance and testimony hereunder on her receipt of an undertaking from the Company that it will indemnify her for such actions
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 
 (e) Remedies. Executive and the Company stipulate that irreparable injury will
result to the Company and its Affiliates and their business and property in the event of Executive’s violation of any provision of this Section 8, and agree that, in the event of any such violation by Executive, the Company, and if
applicable, its Affiliates, will be entitled, in addition to any other rights, remedies and money damages that may then be available, to injunctive relief to restrain the violation hereof by Executive, Executive’s partners, agents, servants,
employees and all persons acting for, under the direction or control of or in concert with Executive, and to such other equitable remedies as may then be available. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Company or any Affiliate from
pursuing any other remedies available to the Company or such Affiliate for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of money damages from Executive. 
  
  

 13 

 (1) Adjustment of Non-Solicitation Period. The Non-Solicitation Period shall be reduced from
eighteen (18) months to ninety (90) days, but only with respect to the restrictions set forth in Subsection (b)(i) and Subsection (b)(iii) of Section 8 of this Agreement (and the prohibitions in Subsection (b) (viii) of
Section 8 against, aiding, abetting, inducing or conspiring with others to violate those restrictions), in the event that Executive resigns her employment within twelve (12) months after the Board fails to extend the Employment Period
within ninety (90) days (before or after) an applicable Anniversary Date pursuant to Section 2(a) for an additional one (1) year and Executive provides the Board with notice of such failure at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of such ninety (90) day period, or in the event that the Company terminates Executive’s employment For Cause based on a repeated and material failure to achieve minimum objectives under a Business Plan established in accordance
with Section I (d) of this Agreement, or a repeated and material failure of Executive to meet reasonable performance standards established in accordance with Section 1 (d) of this Agreement. The Non-Solicitation Period shall be
reduced from eighteen (18) months to six (6) months, but only with respect to the restrictions set forth in Subsection (b)(i) and Subsection (b)(iii) of Section 8 of this Agreement (and the prohibitions in Subsection (b)(viii) of
Section 8 against, aiding, abetting, inducing or conspiring with others to violate those restrictions), in the event that the Company terminates this Agreement Without Cause or Executive terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, provided that,
in either case, Executive executes and delivers to the Company a writing, acceptable in form and substance to the Company, that releases and waives any and all obligations that the Company may have under Section 6(c) or 6(e) of this Agreement
to pay Executive any Base Salary after the expiration of such six-month period, or to provide Executive (or upon her death, her surviving spouse and minor children, if any) with coverage under the Core Plans after the expiration of such six-month
Non-Solicitation Period. 
  

	9.	SOURCE OF FUNDS: ALLOCATION. 

 All payments provided
in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or check from the general funds of the Company; provided, however, that to the extent that any cash compensation payments and benefits (other than benefits provided by the Company under the 2006
EIP) provided for in this Agreement are paid to or received by Executive from the Bank, whether pursuant to the Bank Agreement or otherwise, such cash compensation payments and benefits paid by the Bank shall be subtracted from any amounts due
simultaneously to Executive under this Agreement. Payments due Executive pursuant to this Agreement and the Bank Agreement shall be allocated in proportion to the services rendered and time expended on such activities by Executive as determined by
the Company and the Bank on a quarterly basis or as required by law. 
  

	10.	EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING PLANS. 

 This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to Executive’s employment with the Company, and supersedes the Initial Agreement, any prior offer of employment, employment letter or other
agreements or understandings between the Company and Executive, whether oral or written, with respect thereto, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to Executive of a kind provided for
in any Core Plan or any separate plan or program established for the benefit of Company employees generally, or any separate plan or program established after the 
  
  

 14 

 
date of this Agreement for the specific benefit of Executive. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to
receiving fewer benefits than those available to her without reference to this Agreement. 
  

	11.	MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. 

 This Agreement may not be
modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto and approved by the Board. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any
provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to
the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any provision or the implementation
of any provision of this Agreement is finally determined to violate any applicable law, regulation or other regulatory requirement that is binding on the Company, Executive and the Company agree to amend such provision to the extent necessary to
remove or eliminate such violation, and such provision shall then be applicable in the amended form. 
  

	12.	NO ATTACHMENT. 

 Except as required by law, no right
to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of
law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect. 
  

	13.	REQUIRED PROVISIONS. 

 In the event any of the
foregoing provisions of this Agreement are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 13, this Section 13 shall prevail. 
 (a) Rights Not Prejudiced. Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 V.S.C.
Section 1828(k) and the rules and regulations promulgated there under in 12 C.F.R. Part 359. 
 (b) Certain Payments. Any
payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 V.S.C. Section 1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121 and any rules and regulations promulgated there under.

  

	14.	WITHHOLDING. 

 All payments required to be made to
Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Company reasonably determines should be withheld pursuant to any applicable state or federal law or
regulation. 
  
  

 15 

	15.	SEVERABILITY. 

 If, for any reason, any provision of
this Agreement, or any part of any provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision that is not held invalid, and each such other provision and part thereof shall to the
full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, if any provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of applicability, the court
making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration or area of applicability, or all of them, and such provision shall then be applicable in the modified form. 
  

	16.	HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY. 

 The headings of
sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  

	17.	GOVERNING LAW. 

 The validity, interpretation,
performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without regard or reference to any principles of conflicts of law of the State of Illinois, except to the extent that such internal laws
are preempted by the laws of the United States or the regulations of the OTS or any other agency of the United States. 
  

	18.	DISPUTE RESOLUTION. 

 (a) Arbitration. Except
for claims, cases or controversies based on or arising out of Section 8 of this Agreement (“Section 8 Claims”), all claims, cases or controversies arising out of or in connection with either this Agreement, Executive’s employment
with the Company or the termination or cessation of such employment (collectively, “Employment Claims”), whether asserted against the Company, an Affiliate (as defined below), and/or an officer, director or employee of the Company or an
Affiliate, and whether based on this Agreement or existing or subsequently enacted or adopted statutory or common law doctrines, shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by JAMS Endisputed or a successor entity (“JAMS”) in
Chicago, Illinois, in accordance with the then applicable Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS, or in the event JAMS or a successor in interest of JAMS no longer provides arbitration services, by the American Arbitration Association
or a successor entity (the “AAA”) in accordance with its then applicable National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The costs and fees imposed by JAMS or the AAA for conducting such arbitration shall be borne equally by
Executive and the Company unless the arbitrator determines otherwise. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon Executive, the Company and any other parties to such proceeding, and may be entered and enforced as a
judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Employment Claims subject to arbitration hereunder shall include, but shall not be limited to, those arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended, including the amendments of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the law of 
  
  

 16 

 
contract, the law of tort, and other claims under federal, state or local statutes, ordinances and rules or the common law. Executive and the Company
acknowledge that by agreeing to arbitration they are relinquishing all rights they have to sue each other for Employment Claims that do not constitute Section 8 Claims and any rights that they may have to a jury trial on Employment Claims that
do not constitute Section 8 Claims. 
 (b) Section 8 Claims. All Section 8 Claims shall be brought, commenced and
maintained only in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the County of Cook or the County of DuPage, State of Illinois. Executive and the Company each hereby (i) consents to the exercise of jurisdiction over her or its
person and property by any court of competent jurisdiction situated in the County of Cook or the County of DuPage, State of Illinois for the enforcement of any claim, case or controversy based on or arising under Section 8 of this Agreement;
(ii) waives any and all personal or other rights to object to such jurisdiction for such purposes; and (iii) waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court.

  

	19.	INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE. 

 (a) General.
The Company shall indemnify Executive, and shall promptly pay to Executive, in advance of the final disposition of Proceeding to which Executive is a Party by reason of her service in her Official Capacity, the reasonable Expenses incurred by
Executive in such Proceeding, in each case to the maximum extent permitted or required by Maryland law as in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time, including, without limitation, Section 2-418 of the Maryland General
Corporation Law (the “MGCL”); provided that: (i) the Company shall not be obligated to pay or advance any amounts otherwise indemnifiable or payable hereunder if and to the extent that Executive has otherwise actually received such
payment or advance under any insurance policy or any other contract or agreement to which Executive is a Party, including, without limitation, the Bank Employment Contract or any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy
maintained by the Company, the Bank or any affiliate of either; and (ii) the Company shall only pay and advance Expenses under procedures permitted or required by applicable law. For the purposes of this Section 19, the terms
“Expenses,” “Official Capacity,” “Party” and “Proceeding” shall have the meanings provided in Section 2-418 of the MGCL, as in effect on the date hereof. 
 (b) Successful Defense of Claims. If a claim for indemnification under this Section 19 is based on Executive’s successful defense of a
Proceeding, Executive shall be deemed to have been successful in the defense of a claim, issue or matter asserted in such Proceeding if it is dismissed pursuant to a settlement agreement that is approved by the Company in writing, or if such claim,
issue or matter is otherwise dismissed, on the merits or otherwise, with or without prejudice. If Executive is successful in the defense of one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters asserted or arising in a Proceeding, the Company
shall indemnify Executive for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Executive or on her behalf in connection with each claim, issue or matter that Executive has successfully defended. In such event, Expenses shall be allocated on a
reasonable and proportionate basis among the claims, issues and matters that have been successfully defended, and among any that have not been successfully defended. 
  
  

 17 

 (c) Procedures. To seek indemnification or the advance of Expenses hereunder, Executive shall
submit to the Company a written request therefore, which shall: (i) describe with reasonable particularity the claim that has been made or threatened against Executive and the reasons why Executive believes that it is lawful and appropriate for
the Company to indemnify and/or pay, advance or reimburse Expenses to Executive in connection therewith; and (ii) contain or include such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Executive and is reasonably necessary to
enable the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, or if applicable, special legal counsel to the Board of Directors, to determine whether to approve, deny or otherwise respond to such request. Such determination shall be made and communicated to
Executive in writing as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no case more than thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of Executive’s request. In any Proceeding commenced to enforce Executive’s entitlement to indemnification
or the advance of Expenses, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Executive is not entitled to indemnification or the advance of Expenses, as the case may be. All other procedures with respect to indemnification and the payment,
advancement or reimbursement of Expenses in connection with a Proceeding to which Executive is a Party by reason of her service in her Official Capacity shall be as provided in the charter or bylaws of the Company and Maryland law. 
 (d) Survival of Rights and Benefits. The rights and benefits provided to Executive under this Section 19 shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights or benefits to which Executive may at any time be entitled under Maryland law or any other applicable law, the charter or bylaws of the Company, or any other
agreement to which Executive is a Party. No amendment, alteration or repeal of any applicable Maryland law or any provision of the charter or bylaws of the Company shall: (i) have the effect of reducing, limiting or restricting the rights and
benefits that were available to Executive under this Section 19 based on such law or provision as in effect on the date hereof; or (ii) limit or restrict any right of or benefit to Executive hereunder in respect of any action taken or
omitted by Executive in his official capacity prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. 
  

	20.	COSTS AND LEGAL FEES. 

 (a) Payment to
Executive. Except as provided in Section 18(a) hereof, in the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with any provision of this Agreement other than Section 8 hereof is resolved on the merits in favor of
Executive pursuant to an arbitration award or final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal there from having expired and no appeal having been perfected), the Company shall be obligated to pay Executive,
within thirty (30) days after the date on which such judgment becomes final and not subject to further appeal, all reasonable costs and legal fees paid or incurred by Executive in connection with such dispute or controversy. 
 (b) Payment to the Company. Except as provided in Section 18(a) hereof, in the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with Section 8 of this Agreement is resolved on the merits in favor of the Company pursuant to an arbitration award or final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal there from having
expired and no appeal having been perfected), Executive shall be obligated to pay the Company, within thirty (30) days after the date on which such judgment becomes final and not subject to further appeal, all reasonable costs and legal fees
paid or incurred by the Company in connection with such dispute or controversy. 
  
  

 18 

	21.	NO CONFLICTS. 

 Executive has heretofore advised the
Company and hereby represents that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of the obligations hereunder do not and will not conflict with, or result in any default, violation or breach of any contract or agreement to which
Executive is a party, or of any legal duty of Executive. 
  

	22.	SURVIVAL. 

 The rights and obligations of Executive
and the Company under Sections 6, 8, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 21 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment and the termination or expiration of this Agreement. All other rights and obligations of Executive and the
Company shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement only to the extent that they expressly contemplate future performance and remain unperformed. 
  

	23.	SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. 

 (a) Continue Rights and
Obligations. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and insure to the benefit of, Executive and her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and the Company and its successors and assigns. The Company shall require any of its successors or
assigns, whether resulting from a purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, conversion or a transfer of all or substantially all of its business or assets, to expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform its obligations under
this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that it would be required to perform such obligations if no such succession or assignment had occurred. 
 (b) Payments to Estate or Trust. Any amounts due Executive hereunder shall be paid to Executive’s estate in the event of Executive’s death except as expressly provided herein; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may, in her discretion, provide for the payment of some or all of such amounts to a trust established by Executive. In the event that Executive desires that such amounts be paid to a trust, Executive shall
notify the Company of such intention in writing and comply with any requirements of applicable law.
