Attention: Anthony W. Boor, Senior Vice President

    and Chief Financial Officer

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You (the “Borrower”) have requested that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPMorgan”), and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. (“STRH; together with JPMorgan, the “Lead Arrangers”) agree to structure, arrange and syndicate for a senior revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of U.S. $225,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a senior term loan A credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of U.S. $100,000,000 (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Facilities”), (ii) each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) and SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”; together with JPMCB, the “Commitment Parties”) commit to provide a portion of the Facilities, (iii) JPMCB serve as administrative agent for the Facilities, and (iv) SunTrust serve as syndication agent for the Facilities. You have informed the Commitment Parties and the Lead Arrangers that you intend to use the proceeds of the Facilities, in part, to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the equity interests of Convio, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Target”). The Lead Arrangers understand that the Acquisition will be effected by way of a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for all of the outstanding equity interests of the Target and, upon completion of the Tender Offer and the acquisition of the requisite amount of equity interests of the Target, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower (the “MergerSub”) will merge with and into the Target (the “Merger”).

The Lead Arrangers are pleased to advise you that they are willing to act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Facilities. Furthermore, JPMCB is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide U.S. $75,000,000 in the aggregate of the Facilities, and SunTrust is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide U.S. $75,000,000 in the aggregate of the Facilities. The Commitment Parties’ commitments shall be allocated between the Facilities in their sole discretion. The Lead Arrangers are pleased to advise you of their agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to assemble a syndicate of financial institutions identified by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you (together with JPMCB and SunTrust, the “Lenders”), to provide the balance of the necessary commitments for the Facilities, in each case upon the terms


and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) and in the Summary of Proposed Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”). It is a condition to each Commitment Party’s commitment hereunder that the portion of the Facilities not being provided by such Commitment Party shall be provided by other Lenders (including the other Commitment Parties).

It is agreed that JPMCB will act as the sole and exclusive administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Facilities, and that SunTrust will act as the sole and exclusive syndication agent (the “Syndication Agent”) for the Facilities. JPMorgan and STRH will act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Facilities, with (i) JPMorgan having “left” or first placement, and (ii) STRH having “right” or second placement, in each case in the Confidential Information Memorandum referred to below and in all other marketing materials or advertisements related to the Facilities. You agree that no other co-agents (such as documentation agents or other similar named agents) will be appointed by you without the prior consent of the Lead Arrangers. You agree that no other bookrunners or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by the Term Sheet and the Fee Letters referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Facilities unless you and we shall so agree.

The Lead Arrangers intend to syndicate the Facilities, including, in their sole discretion, part of the Commitment Parties’ commitments hereunder, to the Lenders identified by them and acceptable to you. Any syndication of the Commitment Parties’ commitments hereunder shall be on a pro rata basis as between the Commitment Parties. The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter, and you agree actively to assist (and you further agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to actively assist) the Lead Arrangers in completing a syndication satisfactory to them and you. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending relationships and the Target’s existing lending relationships, (b) direct contact between senior management and advisors of the Borrower and the proposed Lenders, and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause direct contact between senior management and advisors of the Target and the proposed Lenders, (c) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders and (d) as set forth below, assistance (including, without limitation, commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target’s assistance) in the preparation of materials to be used in connection with the syndication (collectively with the Term Sheet, the “Information Materials”).

You will assist the Lead Arrangers in preparing Information Materials, including a Confidential Information Memorandum, for distribution to prospective Lenders. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to execute and deliver to the Lead Arrangers a letter in customary form in which you authorize distribution of the Information Materials to a prospective Lender’s employees.

The Lead Arrangers, in consultation with you, will manage all aspects of the syndication, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached (each of which shall be acceptable to you) and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. The Lead Arrangers will have no

 

2


responsibility other than to arrange the syndication as set forth herein and shall in no event be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Lead Arranger is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Lead Arranger shall have any responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto. Any review by a Lead Arranger of the Borrower, the Target, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of such Lead Arranger and its corresponding Commitment Party and shall not be on behalf of the Borrower.

To assist the Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to the Lead Arrangers and the Commitment Parties all information with respect to the Borrower and its subsidiaries, the Target and its subsidiaries (with the understanding that you shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such information in respect of the Target and its subsidiaries), and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (collectively, the “Projections”), as the Lead Arrangers and the Commitment Parties may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement, syndication and documentation of the Facilities. You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all information other than the Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Lead Arrangers or the Commitment Parties by you or any of your representatives is or will be (or, with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries, is or will be to your knowledge), when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not (or, with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries, does not or will not to your knowledge), when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Lead Arrangers or the Commitment Parties by you or any of your representatives have been or will be (or, with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries, have been or will be to your knowledge) prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. You agree that you will supplement from time to time all of the Information and Projections furnished to the Lead Arrangers or the Commitment Parties in order to cause the representation in the immediately preceding sentence to remain true and correct at all times (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to so supplement its Information and Projections). You understand that in structuring, arranging, syndicating and documenting the Facilities that the Lead Arrangers and the Commitment Parties may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.

As consideration for each Commitment Party’s several commitment hereunder, and each Lead Arranger’s several agreement to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay to the Lead Arrangers and the Commitment Parties the nonrefundable fees set forth in the Term Sheet and in the Fee Letter, dated the date hereof, by and among the Borrower, JPMCB and JPMorgan (as amended or modified, the “JPM Fee Letter”), as well as in any other fee letter delivered together herewith to which the Borrower and a Lead Arranger or Commitment Party is subject (collectively, together with the JPM Fee Letter, as each may be amended or modified, the “Fee Letters”).

The terms and conditions of each Commitment Party’s commitment hereunder and of the Facilities are not limited to those set forth herein and in the Term Sheet. Those matters that are not covered by the provisions hereof and of the Term Sheet are subject to the approval and agreement of each Commitment Party, each Lead Arranger and the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each Commitment Party, each Lead Arranger and their respective affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, affiliates and agents of such persons (each, an “indemnified person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such indemnified person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Facilities, the use of the proceeds thereof, the Acquisition, or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any indemnified person is a party thereto and whether commenced by you or by any third party, and to reimburse each indemnified person upon demand for any reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any indemnified person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court to arise from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such indemnified person, and (b) to reimburse JPMorgan, as a Lead Arranger, and its affiliates on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including due diligence expenses, syndication expenses, electronic distribution expenses, travel expenses, consultants’ fees and expenses, and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the Facilities and any related documentation (including this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the Fee Letters and the definitive financing documentation) or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver thereof. No indemnified person shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with its activities related to the Facilities.

when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Commitment Letter by facsimile transmission or by e-mail in .pdf or a similar format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters are the only agreements that have been entered into among us with respect to the Facilities and set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect thereto.

This Commitment Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. Each of the parties hereto, to the maximum extent permitted by law, consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in the City of New York.

This Commitment Letter is delivered to you on the understanding that neither this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet or the Fee Letters nor any of their terms or substance shall be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other person except (a) to your officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors who are directly involved in the consideration of this matter, and for whom you shall be responsible for any breach by any of them of this confidentiality undertaking, (b) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by law, rule or regulation (in which case you agree to inform us promptly thereof to the extent you are legally permitted to do so), or (c) to the Target and its officers, agents and advisors; provided, that in no event shall any Fee Letter be delivered to the Target or any officer, agent or advisor thereof; provided, further, that the Target and its officers, agents and advisors shall be instructed by the Borrower to maintain the confidentiality of the Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet pursuant to the terms hereof.

You acknowledge that each Commitment Party, each Lead Arranger, and their affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. None of the Commitment Parties and Lead Arrangers will use confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this letter or their other relationships with you in connection with the performance by such Commitment Party or Lead Arranger of services for other companies, and none of the Commitment Parties or Lead Arrangers will furnish any such information to other companies. You also acknowledge that the Commitment Parties and the Lead Arrangers have no obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this letter, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies. You further acknowledge that each Lead Arranger is a full service securities firm and it may from time to time effect transactions, for its own or its affiliates’ account or the account of customers, and hold positions in its loans, securities or options on loans or securities of the Borrower and its affiliates and of other companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter.

direct or indirect) to you in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on your behalf, including your equity holders, employees or creditors. You acknowledge that the transactions described herein (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and under the Fee Letters) are arms’-length commercial transactions and that the Commitment Parties and Lead Arrangers are acting as principal and in their own respective best interests.

You agree that we will act under this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters as independent contractors and that nothing in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the nature of our services or in any prior relationship will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship between us, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its equity holders or its affiliates, on the other hand. In addition, we may employ the services of our affiliates in providing certain services hereunder and may exchange with such affiliates information concerning the Borrower, the Target and other companies that may be the subject of the transactions and such affiliates will be entitled to the benefits afforded to us hereunder.

The Borrower is hereby notified that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001) (the “Patriot Act”), each of the Commitment Parties and Lead Arrangers (and each other lender party to the Facilities) is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each Guarantor (as defined in the Term Sheet), which information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow a Commitment Party, a Lead Arranger or any other lender, as the case may be, to identify the Borrower and each Guarantor in accordance with the Patriot Act.

The reimbursement, compensation, indemnification and confidentiality provisions contained herein and in the Fee Letters and any other provision herein or therein which by its terms expressly survives the termination of this Commitment Letter shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether definitive financing documentation shall be executed and delivered and notwithstanding the termination of this Commitment Letter or any Commitment Party’s commitment hereunder.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth our agreement, please indicate your acceptance of the terms hereof and of the Term Sheet, the JPM Fee Letter and the other Fee Letters, if any, by returning to (i) JPMCB executed counterparts hereof and of the JPM Fee Letter, and (ii) each other Lead Arranger any Fee Letter to which the Borrower and such Lead Arranger are parties, in each case not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 18, 2012 (with the understanding that SunTrust will provide JPMCB with prompt notice of its receipt of executed counterparts to its Fee Letter, if such Fee Letter exists at all).

Each Commitment Party’s commitment and each Lead Arranger’s agreements herein will expire at the aforementioned time and day in the event JPMCB and SunTrust have not received such executed counterparts in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

The Closing Date shall occur, if at all, no later than March 30, 2012, with the understanding that the commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties and the Lead Arrangers shall terminate if the Closing Date has not occurred by March 30, 2012.

   exposure is not more than 105% of the Multicurrency Sublimit and (ii) such excess will be calculated as of (x) the last business day of each calendar quarter, (y) any other business day at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion during the occurrence and continuation of an event of default and (z) each date of a borrowing request, interest election request and each request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit.

Representations and Warranties:    Substantially similar to those in the Existing Credit Agreement, as modified to include the terms and conditions hereof and such changes as mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Lenders; provided, that, no representations and warranties shall be required to be made by or on behalf of the Target or any of its subsidiaries unless and until either the Borrower has acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the Target or the MergerSub has merged with and into the Target as contemplated pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, with the understanding that the Target will be considered an unaffiliated third party with respect to the covenants, representation and warranties, events of default and similar provisions set forth in the Financing Documentation (including intercompany and affiliate exceptions) until the Target becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Borrower.


Affirmative Covenants:    Substantially similar to those in the Existing Credit Agreement, as modified to include the terms and conditions hereof and such changes as mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Lenders including, without limitation, a covenant by the Borrower to take all reasonable actions necessary to complete the Tender Offer and the corresponding merger of the MergerSub with and into the Target; provided, that, no affirmative covenant shall apply to the Target or any of its subsidiaries unless and until either the Borrower has acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the Target or the MergerSub has merged with and into the Target as contemplated pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, with the understanding that the Target will be considered an unaffiliated third party with respect to the covenants, representation and warranties, events of default and similar provisions set forth in the Financing Documentation (including intercompany and affiliate exceptions) until the Target becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Borrower.
Negative Covenants:    Substantially similar to those in the Existing Credit Agreement, as modified to include the terms and conditions hereof and such changes as mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Lenders, including, without limitation, a revised restricted payment covenant that limits annual cash restricted payments to U.S. $25,000,000 when the pro forma leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 2.50 to 1.00 (with the understanding that (i) such limit shall not apply when the pro forma leverage ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00 and (ii) restricted payments made when the pro forma leverage ratio was less than 2.50 to 1.00 will count against the $25,000,000 cap when the pro forma leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 2.50 to 1.00). For purposes of the negative covenant governing permitted acquisitions and pro forma compliance with a leverage test (as set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement), no effect shall be given to any temporary increase in the financial covenant leverage ratio that is described below; provided, that, no negative covenant shall apply to the Target or any of its subsidiaries unless and until either the Borrower has acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the Target or the MergerSub has merged with and into the Target as contemplated pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, with the understanding that the Target will be considered an unaffiliated third party with respect to the covenants, representation and warranties, events of default and similar provisions set forth in the Financing Documentation (including intercompany and affiliate exceptions) until the Target becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Borrower.


Financial Covenants:    (a) Maximum Leverage Ratio as follows: (i) 3.25 to 1.00 from the Closing Date through the quarter ending September 30, 2012; (ii) 3.00 to 1.00 for the quarters ending December 31, 2012 through June 30, 2013; and (iii) thereafter, 2.75 to 1.00; provided, however, the Borrower may, so long as no event of default is then outstanding or would result therefrom, elect to raise the level of the Maximum Leverage Ratio then in effect by 25 basis points so long as (1) such election is made in conjunction with a permitted acquisition where the purchase price is at least U.S. $50,000,000, (2) such election is only given effect for the two consecutive quarter period following the date on which the permitted acquisition is consummated, (3) such election may only be made three times during the term of the Facilities, and (4) only one election may be given effect during any two quarter period;
   (b) Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.50 to 1.00; and
   (c) Maximum Capital Expenditures in an amount to be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Lead Arrangers.

Defaulting Lender Provisions, Yield Protection and Increased Costs:    Customary for facilities of this type, including, without limitation, in respect of breakage or redeployment costs incurred in connection with prepayments, cash collateralization for Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in the event any lender under the Facilities becomes a Defaulting Lender (as such term shall be defined in the Financing Documentation), changes in capital adequacy and capital requirements or their interpretation, illegality, unavailability, reserves without proration or offset and payments free and clear of withholding or other taxes. The Financing Documentation shall include the Lead Left Arranger’s customary Dodd-Frank, Basel III, defaulting lender, and tax provisions.

The Borrower shall be


   deemed to have consented to any assignment if it has not objected thereto in writing within five business days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent. The consent of the Administrative Agent will be required for any assignment to an entity that is not a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. The consent of the Issuing Bank will be required for any assignment of loans or commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, other than an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

Required Lenders:    On any date of determination, those Lenders who collectively hold more than 50% of the outstanding loans and unfunded commitments under the Facilities, or if the Facilities have been terminated, those Lenders who collectively hold more than 50% of the aggregate outstandings under the Facilities (the “Required Lenders”); provided, however, that if any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender (to be defined in the Financing Documentation) at such time, then the outstanding loans and unfunded commitments under the Facilities of such Defaulting Lender shall be excluded from the determination of Required Lenders.
Amendments and Waivers:    Amendments and waivers of the provisions of the Financing Documentation will require the approval of the Required Lenders, except that, subject to the Lead Left Arranger’s customary defaulting lender limitations, (a) the consent of all Lenders directly adversely affected thereby will be required with respect to (i) increases in the commitment of such Lenders, (ii) reductions of principal, interest or fees, (iii) extensions of scheduled maturities or times for payment and (iv) reductions in the voting percentages and (b) the consent of all Lenders will be required with respect to releases of all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral or Guarantees (other than in connection with transactions permitted pursuant to the Financing Documentation).

This indemnification shall survive and continue for the benefit of all such persons or entities.
Expenses:    The Loan Parties will reimburse the Lead Left Arranger and the Administrative Agent (and all Lenders in the case of enforcement costs and documentary taxes) for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the syndication, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Financing Documentation and any amendment or waiver with respect thereto (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel thereto).
