Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Revolving Credit Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon, at the then applicable rate, shall be payable for such extended time.

2.06 Increased Costs If there shall occur any adoption or implementation of, or change to, any Regulation, or interpretation or administration thereof, which shall have the effect of imposing on Lender (or Lender’s holding company) any increase or expansion of or any new: tax (excluding taxes on its overall income and franchise taxes), charge, fee, assessment or deduction of any kind whatsoever, or reserve, capital adequacy, special deposits or similar requirements against credit extended by, assets of, or deposits with or for the account of Lender or other conditions affecting the extensions of credit under this Agreement or evidenced by the Note; then Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount as Lender deems necessary to compensate Lender for any increased cost to Lender attributable to the extension(s) of credit under this Agreement or evidenced by the Note and/or for any reduction in the rate of return on Lender’s capital and/or Lender’s revenue attributable to such extension(s) of credit. As used above, the term “Regulation” shall include any federal, state or international law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (including but not limited to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and enactments, issuances or similar pronouncements by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices or any similar authority and any successor thereto) that applies to Lender. Lender’s determination of the additional amount(s) due under this paragraph shall be binding in the absence of manifest error, and such amount(s) shall be payable within 15 days of demand and, if recurring, as otherwise billed by Lender.

8.14 Counterparts This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
8.15 Resurrection of Obiliations To the extent that Lender receives any payment on account of any of the Obligations, and any such payment(s) or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or Federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment(s) received, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied and any and all liens, security interests, mortgages, deeds of trust and/or other encumbrances upon or pertaining to any assets of Borrower and theretofore created and/or existing in favor of Lender as security for the payment of such the Obligations shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) had not been received by Lender and applied on account of the Obligations.
8.16 Entire Agreement This notice is provided pursuant to Section 432.047, R.S.Mo. As used herein, “borrower” means Borrower, “creditor” means Lender and each of “the credit agreement” and “this writing” means this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. ORAL OR UNEXECUTED AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UPON WHICH IT IS BASED THAT IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. TO PROTECT YOU (BORROWER(S)) AND US (CREDITOR) FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY AGREEMENTS WE REACH COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, WHICH IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, EXCEPT AS WE MAY LATER AGREE IN WRITING TO MODIFY IT. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (oral or written) relating to the subject matter hereof.
8.17 USA PATRIOT Act This notice is provided to Borrower pursuant to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for Borrower: When Borrower opens an account, if Borrower is an individual, Lender will ask for Borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, business address, and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower. Lender may also ask, if Borrower is an individual, to see Borrower’s driver’s license or other identifying documents, and, if Borrower is not an individual, to see Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.
8.18 Confidentiality Lender agrees to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, any nonpublic information supplied to Lender, as the case may be, by Borrower, Subsidiary Bank,

or any Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents which is identified by Borrower as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to Lender; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.18 shall prohibit or limit the disclosure by Lender of any such information (a) to the extent required by any statute, rule, regulation, subpoena or judicial process, (b) to any Regulatory Agency having jurisdiction over Lender, (c) to any professional advisors, including counsel and accountants, for Lender, (d) to any bank examiners or auditors, (e) in connection with any litigation to which Lender is a party, (f) in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Lender, under this Agreement and/or under other Loan Documents, or (g) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant); and provided further, that in no event shall Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished to such Person by Borrower, Subsidiary Bank, or any Subsidiary under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. In no event shall Lender use any non-public information supplied to Lender by Borrower (A) in violation of securities laws, including, without limitation, insider trading laws, rules and regulations or (B) in connection with any activity in competition with the business of the Borrower or Subsidiary Bank, including without limitation, in connection with proposing terms for loan transactions to existing or potential customers of Subsidiary Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not have any liability to Borrower, Subsidiary Bank, or any Subsidiary, or any stockholder, member, partner, joint venturer, director, officer, employee or agent of Borrower, Subsidiary Bank, or any Subsidiary by reason of, or in any way claimed to be related to, any disclosure by such Person of any information with respect to Borrower, Subsidiary Bank, or any Subsidiary except to the extent the same results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order. The provisions of this Section 8.18 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
8.19 Waiver of Consequential Damages, etc. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST LENDER, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AND/OR ANY LOAN ADVANCE AND/OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS OF ANY LOAN ADVANCE.
8.20 Termination of this Agreement This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and may not be terminated by Borrower unless and until (a) all of Borrower’s Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash, and (b) Lender does not have any further commitment or obligation to advance funds, make loans, issue letters of credit and/or extend credit to or for the account or benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Documents.
8.21 Computations Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied; provided that if Borrower notifies Lender that Borrower wishes to amend any covenant in Sections 5.10, 5.11 or 5.12 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if Lender notifies Borrower that Lender wishes to amend Sections 5.10, 5.11 or 5.12 (or any related definition) for such purpose), then Borrower’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant (or related definition) is amended in a manner satisfactory to Borrower and Lender.
The parties executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
$20,000,000.00 St. Louis, Missouri
February 24, 2016
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on the last day of the Revolving Credit Period, the undersigned, ENTERPRISE FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP. a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Lender”), the principal sum of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) or such lesser sum as may then constitute the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement (defined below). The aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans which Lender shall be committed to have outstanding under this Revolving Credit Note (this “Note”) at any one time shall not exceed $20,000,000, which amount may be borrowed, paid, reborrowed and repaid, in whole or in part, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and of the Loan Agreement.
Borrower further promises to pay to the order of Lender interest on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding under this Note at the rate(s) and on the dates set forth in the Loan Agreement.
All payments received by Lender under this Note shall be allocated among the principal, interest, collection costs and expenses and other amounts due under this Note in such order and manner as Lender shall elect. The amount of interest accruing under this Note shall be computed on an actual day, 360-day year basis.
All payments of principal and interest under this Note shall be made in lawful currency of the United States in Federal or other immediately available funds at the office of Lender situated at One US Bank Plaza, 7 th Street & Washington Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63101, or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing.
Lender shall record in its books and records the date and amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made by it to Borrower under this Note and the date and amount of each payment of principal and/or interest made by Borrower with respect thereto; provided, however, that the obligation of Borrower to repay each Revolving Credit Loan made to Borrower under this Note shall be absolute and unconditional, notwithstanding any failure of Lender to make any such recordation or any mistake by Lender in connection with any such recordation. The books and records of Lender showing the account between Lender and Borrower shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding and shall constitute prima facie proof of the items therein set forth absent manifest error.
This Note is the “Note” referred to in the Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between Borrower and Lender, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, extended, renewed or restated (the “Loan Agreement”; all capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement). The Loan Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the occurrence of certain stated events and also for prepayments on account of the principal of this Note and interest on this Note prior to the maturity of this Note upon the terms and conditions specified therein.
If Borrower shall fail to make any payment of any principal of or interest on this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable subject to any applicable grace period, or if any Event of Default shall occur under or within the meaning of the Loan Agreement, then Lender’s obligation to make additional Revolving Credit Loans under this Note may be terminated in the manner and with the effect as provided in the Loan Agreement and the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon may be declared to be immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect as provided in the Loan Agreement.
In the event that any payment of any principal of or interest on this Note is not paid when due, whether by reason of maturity, acceleration or otherwise, and this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney or attorneys for collection, or if this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney or attorneys for representation of Lender in connection with bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings relating to or affecting this Note, Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of Lender, in addition to all other amounts otherwise due on, under or in respect of this Note, the costs and expenses of such collection, foreclosure and representation, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees

and expenses (whether or not litigation shall be commenced in aid thereof). All parties hereto severally waive presentment for payment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and notice of dishonor.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Missouri (without reference to conflict of law principles).
