 R E C I T A L S 

A. Borrower and Lender are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of January 28, 2016 (as amended, supplemented or

and conditions, and subject to the limitations, set forth in the Loan Agreement, Lender has provided to Borrower a Commitment to extend Loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000,000.00. 

B. The Commitment Maturity Date was January 26, 2017, but has been extended by letter agreement to March 13, 2017. Borrower has
requested that Lender consent to (i) the renewal of the Commitment and extension of the Commitment Maturity Date for a period of 364 days from the date hereof, (ii) an increase of $10,000,000.00 to the Commitment amount, so that the
Maximum Commitment Amount becomes $30,000,000.00, and (iii) certain other amendments to the Loan Agreement, in each case in accordance with and subject to the terms set forth hereunder. 

C. Lender, by execution hereof, has agreed to consent to the foregoing and to amend the Loan Agreement accordingly, upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein, including, without limitation, the condition that Borrower acknowledge and reaffirm its obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other documents related thereto. 

D. The parties hereto have consulted with, and obtained the representation and advice of, their respective legal counsel with regard to the
terms and conditions of this Amendment. Each party to this Amendment has had the opportunity to participate fully in the drafting of this Amendment.

not adversely affect or impair in any way the validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement and the other documents related thereto to which Borrower is a party, and (ii) the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and the documents related

which Borrower is a party, and the Obligations (including, without limitation, Borrower’s obligation to pay the outstanding amounts under the Loan Agreement and each Note related thereto), are not subject to any defense, claim, counterclaim,
setoff, right of recoupment, abatement or other determination whatsoever, legal, equitable or otherwise. Borrower waives any and all defenses of any nature whatsoever, legal, equitable or otherwise, which Borrower may now have with respect to
Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other documents related thereto to which Borrower is a party.

the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, or any other document related thereto, including without limitation, any existing or future Default thereunder and, if Borrower now or at any time in the future shall be in breach of any of the provisions of
the Loan Agreement or any other document related thereto or if any Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall be entitled to withhold further Loans under the Loan Agreement at any time and to exercise any of its other default rights and
remedies thereunder or under any other document related thereto, from time to time, upon, if applicable, notice to Borrower, and that no failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the Loan Agreement or under any
other document related thereto, and no course of dealing 

  
 5 

 
with Borrower, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Agreement or under
any other document related thereto preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder or thereunder. 

8. Release of Claims. In consideration of the matters set forth in this Amendment, Borrower, for itself and on behalf of its legal
representatives, successors and assigns, hereby fully, finally and irrevocably releases Lender, and its officers, representatives, agents, attorneys, employees, predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released
Parties”), from any and all defenses (other than payment or performance), affirmative defenses, claims, counterclaims, offsets, cross-claims, damages, demands, actions and causes of action of any kind or nature existing as of the date of
this Amendment or based on facts or circumstances arising at any time up through and including the date of this Amendment, whether known or unknown and whenever and howsoever arising, relating to the Loan Agreement or the liabilities and obligations
of Borrower thereunder, the other Obligations or the other documents related thereto, or any of them, or any past relationship between Borrower and Lender. In addition, Borrower hereby agrees not to commence, join in, prosecute, or participate in
any suit or other proceeding in a position adverse to that of any of the Released Parties arising directly or indirectly from any of the foregoing matters. 

9. Event of Default. If Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement in this Amendment, or any
representation or warranty made by Borrower in this Amendment shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, such occurrence shall be deemed to constitute a Default. 

10. Payment of Fees and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender, including the attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Lender, in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and the documents referred to herein and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 

11. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterpart copies, each of which constitutes an
original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement binding upon all of the parties hereto. Further, the parties hereto may execute facsimile copies of this Amendment and the facsimile signature of any such party shall be
deemed an original and fully binding on said party; provided, however, any party executing this Amendment by facsimile signature agrees to promptly provide an original executed copy of this Amendment to Lender. 

12. Governing Law, Etc. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions of

 14. No Other Modifications. Except as hereby amended, no other term, condition or
provision of the Loan Agreement shall be deemed modified or amended, and this Amendment shall not be considered a novation. From and after the effective date hereof, all references in the Loan Agreement, and any other document or instrument entered
into in connection therewith, to the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment. 

15. Reaffirmation and Ratification of Pledge Agreement. Without limiting anything set forth in paragraph 5 above or elsewhere in this
Amendment, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Pledge Agreement dated as of January 28, 2016, between Borrower and Lender remains in full force and effect as of the date hereof, and that the Pledged Stock described therein
continues to secure all Obligations (as defined in such Pledge Agreement) in all respects. For the avoidance of doubt, the Obligations secured by the Pledged Stock include, without limitation, any and all increases in the principal amount of the
Obligations that now or hereafter result from the increase in the Maximum Commitment Amount addressed in this Amendment. 
 16. Unused
Commitment Fee. Lender agrees not to charge an Unused Commitment Fee for the short-term extension period that began on January 27, 2017, and continued through and including the date immediately prior to the date of this Amendment. On and
after the date of this Amendment, the Unused Commitment Fee shall again accrue and otherwise be in effect in accordance with Section 2.09 of the Loan Agreement (as restated above).
