time to time up to and including June 1, 2012, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of Seventy Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000.00) (“Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used first, to refinance
Borrower’s outstanding credit accommodation from Bank, and second, to finance the working capital requirements of Borrower. Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note dated as
of May 27, 2010 (“Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference. 
 (b)
Letter of Credit Subfeature. As a subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank agrees from time to time during the term thereof to issue or cause an affiliate to issue standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower in furtherance of
corporate purposes (each, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided however, that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000.00). The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in its sole discretion. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term not to exceed one (1) year, as designated by Borrower; provided
however, that no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date subsequent to the maturity date of the Line of Credit. The undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be available for borrowings
thereunder. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by Bank in connection with the issuance thereof. Each drawing paid under a
Letter of Credit shall be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided however, that if advances under the Line of
Credit are not available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the full amount drawn, together with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid
by Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit. In such event Borrower agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit any account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any such drawing.

 (c) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of the
Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total outstanding
borrowings under the Line of Credit shall not at any time exceed the maximum principal amount available thereunder, as set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall maintain a zero balance on advances under the Line of Credit for a
period of at least thirty (30) consecutive days by June 1, 2012. 
 SECTION 1.2. INTEREST/FEES. 

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of each credit subject hereto shall bear interest at the rate of interest set
forth in each promissory note or other instrument or document executed in connection therewith. 
 (b) Computation and
Payment. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed. Interest shall be payable at the times and place set forth in each promissory note or other instrument or document required hereby. 

(c) Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Bank a fee equal to one-quarter percent (0.25%) per annum (computed on the basis
of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) on the average daily unused amount of the Line of Credit, which fee shall be calculated on a quarterly basis by Bank and shall be due and payable by Borrower in arrears within ten (10) days after each
billing is sent by Bank. 
 (d) Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank (i) fees upon the issuance of each
Letter of Credit equal to one and three hundred seventy-five thousandths percent (1.375%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) of the face amount thereof, and (ii) fees upon the payment or negotiation of
each drawing under any Letter of Credit and fees upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including without limitation, the transfer, amendment or cancellation of any Letter of Credit) determined in accordance
with Bank’s standard fees and charges then in effect for such activity. The issuance fee described in (i) above and applicable to each Letter of Credit shall be payable in successive advance installments over the term of the applicable
Letter of Credit, with the first installment due on the date of its issuance and each installment thereafter due at the end of each ninety (90) day period thereafter; provided, that if there is less than ninety (90) days remaining until
the expiration of such Letter of Credit, the last installment shall be due on such expiration date. 
 SECTION 1.3. COLLECTION
OF PAYMENTS. Borrower authorizes Bank to collect all principal, interest and fees due under each subject hereto by charging Borrower’s deposit account number XXXXX with Bank, or any other deposit account maintained by Borrower with Bank, for
the full amount thereof. Should there be insufficient funds in any such deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.

and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to Bank under any of the Loan Documents, and (c) the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, any action for

proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to Borrower or any other person or entity. 
  

 11 

 SECTION 7.4. SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties; provided however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer its interests or rights hereunder without Bank’s prior written consent.
Bank reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s rights and benefits under each of the Loan Documents. In connection therewith, Bank may disclose all
documents and information which Bank now has or may hereafter acquire relating to any credit subject hereto, Borrower or its business, or any collateral required hereunder.

discussions and correspondence concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended or modified only in writing signed by each party hereto. 

SECTION 7.6. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties

Documents to which it is not a party. 
 SECTION 7.7. TIME. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement
and each other of the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 7.8. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or any remaining provisions of this Agreement. 

SECTION 7.9. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall
be deemed to be an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.10.
GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 

SECTION 7.11. ARBITRATION. 

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and
controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the
Loan Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

  

 12 

 (b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location
in California selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the
documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim
is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute
resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and
procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law. 

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any
party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies
such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any
dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph. 

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less
will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a
panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of California or a neutral retired judge of the
state or federal judiciary of California, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is
arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions
which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of California and may grant any remedy or relief that a court
of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such
other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit
the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief. 
  

 13 

 (e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in
accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery
periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is
available. 
 (f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes
by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or
in a private attorney general capacity. 
 (g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award
all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding. 
 (h) Real Property Collateral; Judicial Reference.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no dispute shall be submitted to arbitration if the dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage,
lien or security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed with the arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of California,
thereby agreeing that all indebtedness and obligations of the parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any such dispute is not submitted to
arbitration, the dispute shall be referred to a referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be specifically enforceable in accordance with said
Section 638. A referee with the qualifications required herein for arbitrators shall be selected pursuant to the AAA’s selection procedures. Judgment upon the decision rendered by a referee shall be entered in the court in which such
proceeding was commenced in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645. 
 (i)
Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other
party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one
agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive
termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties. 
 (j) Small
Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party retains the right to pursue in Small Claims Court any dispute within that court’s jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision shall apply only to disputes in
which either party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys’ fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Court.

	WELLS FARGO	  	REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
		
	$75,000,000,00	  	San Jose, California

May 27, 2010 
 FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the undersigned San Jose Water Company (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) at its office at Santa Clara Valley RCBO, 121 S. Market Street, 2nd Floor, San Jose, CA
95113, or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of $75,000,000.00, or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with
interest thereon, to be computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement as set forth herein. 
 1. DEFINITIONS: 

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the
meaning set forth at the place defined: 
 1.1 “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which
commercial banks in California are authorized or required by law to close. 
 1.2 “Fixed Rate Term” means a period commencing on a
Business Day and continuing for 1, 2, 3 or 6 months, as designated by Borrower, during which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LlBOR; provided however, that no Fixed Rate Term
may be selected for a principal amount less than $500,000.00; and provided further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall extend beyond the scheduled maturity date hereof. If any Fixed Rate Term would end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such
Fixed Rate Term shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. 
 1.3 “LIBOR” means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if
necessary, to the nearest whole 1/8 of 1%) determined by dividing Base LlBOR by a percentage equal to 100% less any LlBOR Reserve Percentage. 

(a) “Base LlBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by Bank as the Inter-Bank Market Offered
Rate, with the understanding that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of funds on said date for a period of
time approximately equal to the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately equal to the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies. Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the
Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.

 (b) “LlBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable Fixed Rate Term.

 1.4 “Prime Rate” means at any time the rate of interest most recently announced within Bank at its principal office as its Prime
Rate, with the understanding that the Prime Rate is one of Bank’s base rates and serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans making reference thereto, and is evidenced by the recording thereof after
its announcement in such internal publication or publications as Bank may designate. 

 2. INTEREST: 

2.1 Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) either
(a) at a fluctuating rate per annum 1.00000% below the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, or (b) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be 1.37500% above LlBOR in effect on the first day of the applicable Fixed Rate Term.
When interest is determined in relation to the Prime Rate, each change In the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank. With respect to each LlBOR selection option selected
hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount, interest rate and Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any
schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted. 
 2.2 Selection of
Interest Rate Options. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LlBOR, it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest
determined in relation to the Prime Rate or to LlBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate, Borrower may convert all or a portion thereof so
that it bears interest determined in relation to LlBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select a LlBOR option for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance
hereof, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (a) the interest rate option selected by Borrower; (b) the principal amount subject thereto; and (c) for each LlBOR selection, the length of
the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LlBOR selection, (i) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written
confirmation thereof not later than 3 Business Days after such notice is given, and (ii) such notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at it’s
sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LlBOR request
from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. If no specific designation of interest is made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be deemed to
have made a Prime Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied. 
 2.3 Taxes and
Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (a) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and
franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to LlBOR, and (b) future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LlBOR Reserve Percentage, assessment rates imposed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central
bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to LlBOR to the extent they are not included in the calculation of LlBOR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LlBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any
reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower. 
 2.4 Payment of Interest. Interest
accrued on this Note shall be payable on the 1st day of each month, commencing June 1, 2010. 
 2.5 Default Interest. From and after the
maturity date of this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or at Bank’s option upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding
principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to 4% above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note. 

 3. BORROWING AND REPAYMENT: 

3.1 Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and
reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of the Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank defined below; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed
the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for Borrower, which balance may
be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on June 1, 2012. 

3.2 Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum available hereunder, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request
of (a) W. Richard Roth, Angela Yip, Suzy Papazian, Wendy Walker, Clarice Tam, David Green, anyone acting alone, who are authorized to request advances and direct the disposition of any advances until written notice of the revocation of such
authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, or (b) any person, with respect to advances deposited to the credit of any deposit account of Borrower, which advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to
have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than those authorized to request advances may have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person
requesting an advance is or has been authorized by Borrower. 
 3.3 Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited
first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof. All payments credited to principal shall be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the
Prime Rate, if any, and second, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with such payments applied to the oldest Fixed Rate Term first. 

4. PREPAYMENT: 
 4.1 Prime Rate. Borrower may
prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate at any time, in any amount and without penalty. 

4.2 LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time and in the minimum
amount of $100,000,00; provided however, that if the outstanding principal balance of such portion of this Note is less than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding principal balance thereof. In consideration of
Bank providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank
immediately upon demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term matures, calculated as follows for each such month: 

(a) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such
amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto. 
 (b) Subtract from the amount
determined in (a) above the amount of interest which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and in
a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid. 
 (c) If the result obtained in (b) for any month is greater than zero,
discount that difference by LIBOR used in (b) above. 

 Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses
and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate
of the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum 2.000% above the Prime Rate in effect
from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed). 
 5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT: 

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated
as of May 27, 2010, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an
“Event of Default” under this Note. 
 6. MISCELLANEOUS: 

6.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder’s option, may declare all sums of principal and
interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of
the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. Borrower shall pay to the holder immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of the holder’s in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder’s rights and/or the collection of any
amounts which become due to the holder under this Note, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level,
in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other
person) relating to Borrower or any other person or entity. 
 6.2 Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign
this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint and several. 
 6.3 Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note as of the
date first written above.
