Subsidiary Account Party with, the LC Issuer, relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

Termination Date with a properly executed Non-Extension Notice.

with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in

under such Letter of Credit and this Agreement. The LC Issuer will make any such LC Disbursement available to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit by promptly crediting the amount of the LC Disbursement to the account identified by such

Cover. In the event the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Account Parties shall have provided (or be required to provide) cash collateral for outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.01(d) or 6.01, the LC Issuer will establish a separate
cash collateral account (the “Collateral Account”), which may be a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in New York (the

prompt payment in full when due of the Obligations and all reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements, all interest thereon, and all other obligations of the Obligors under the Credit Documents whether or not then outstanding or due
and payable (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Secured Obligations”), each Obligor hereby pledges and grants to the LC Issuer, for the benefit of the LC Issuer as provided herein, a security interest in all of
its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral
Account shall not constitute payment of any Secured Obligations until applied by the LC Issuer as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only
as provided in this Section 2.02(e). Amounts on deposit in the Collateral 

  
 18 








 
Account shall be invested and reinvested by the LC Issuer in such short-term investments as the LC Issuer shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be
held in the name and be under the sole dominion and control of the LC Issuer and shall be credited to the Collateral Account. At any time, and from time to time, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the LC Issuer may liquidate
any such investments and reinvestments and credit the proceeds thereof to the Collateral Account and apply or cause to be applied such proceeds and any other balances in the Collateral Account to the payment of any of the Secured Obligations due and
payable. If at any time (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations then due have been paid in full but Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the LC Issuer shall, from time to time, at the request
of the Guarantor, deliver to the relevant Obligor, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters
of Credit. When all of the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated and the Commitment has terminated, the LC Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Guarantor, for account of the relevant
Obligor, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Collateral Account.

existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (b) has (i) all corporate power and authority and (ii) all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required, in each case, to own or lease its assets and
carry on its business as now conducted and (c) is duly qualified and is licensed and, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification or license, except in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (b)(ii) and (c) to the extent that such failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 4.02 Corporate and Governmental Authorization; Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party are within such Obligor’s corporate, limited liability or partnership powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership action,
require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official (except such as have been completed or made and are in full force and effect) and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of
(x) applicable law or regulation, (y) the articles of incorporation or by-laws or other constituent documents of such Obligor or (z) any material agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree
or other instrument binding upon any Obligor or any Material Subsidiary or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Obligor or any Material Subsidiary, except in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and
(z) to the extent such contravention or default, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 4.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligations of each of the Obligors, in each case enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general

 SECTION 4.04 Financial Information; No Material Adverse Change. 

(a) The consolidated balance sheets of the Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash
flows and shareholders’ equity for the fiscal year then ended, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and set forth in the Registration Statement (as amended from time to time, provided that such amendments are not materially adverse
to the LC Issuer), a copy of which has been delivered to the LC Issuer, fairly present, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial position of the Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such
date and their consolidated results of operations and changes in financial position for the period covered by such financial statements. For purposes of this Section 4.04(a), the fact that such financial statements give effect to a segment
change which occurred after the date of such financial statements (as described in the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP attached thereto) will be deemed to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as long as (i) such
financial statements would have actually been in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles if such segment change had occurred within the period covered by such financial statements and (ii) such segment change affected only
segment-level reporting reflected in the footnotes to the financial statements and not the consolidated financial statements. 
 (b) The
unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2017 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ net investment for the period then
ended, set forth in the Registration Statement (as amended from time to time, provided that such amendments are not materially adverse to the LC Issuer), a copy of which has been delivered to the LC Issuer, fairly present, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with the financial statements referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 4.04, the consolidated financial position of the Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries
as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and changes in financial position for such period (subject to normal year-end adjustments and, to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X, the absence of footnotes).

described in the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP attached to the consolidated financial statements referred to in Section 4.04(a) above) will be deemed to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as long as
(i) such financial statements would have actually been in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles if such segment change had occurred within the period covered by such financial statements and (ii) such segment change
affected only segment-level reporting reflected in the footnotes to the financial statements and not the consolidated financial statements.

the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with
respect to each Plan. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any
Plan, (ii) failed to make any required contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement, which has resulted or could result in the

liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

discretion that no reserve is required), and except in each case to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 4.08 Subsidiaries. Each of the Guarantor’s Material Subsidiaries and each Subsidiary Account Party (a) is a
corporation or limited liability company that is duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and (except where such concept is not applicable) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, (b) has all

have a Material Adverse Effect.

“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 SECTION 4.11 No
Default. No event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes, or which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute, a default under or in respect of any material agreement, instrument or undertaking to which
any Obligor or any Material Subsidiary is a party or by which any Obligor or any Material Subsidiary or any of their respective assets is bound, unless such default would not have or be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

being understood that such projections and forecasts are subject to uncertainties and contingencies and no assurances can be given that such projections or forecasts will be realized) and (ii) with respect to statements, information and reports
derived from Persons unaffiliated with the Guarantor, the Guarantor represents that it has no knowledge of any material misstatement therein.

or otherwise dispose of its assets to the Guarantor or to another Material Subsidiary or Subsidiary Account Party and (iv) the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Account Party may merge or consolidate with another Person in accordance with the terms
of Section 5.09. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor may liquidate or dissolve any Subsidiary if (i) the board of directors of the Guarantor determines in good faith that such liquidation or dissolution is in the best interests of

 30 








 (b) The Guarantor will maintain, and will cause each Material Subsidiary and Subsidiary Account
Party to maintain (either in the name of the Guarantor or in such Subsidiary’s own name) with financially sound and responsible insurance companies, insurance on all their respective properties and against at least such risks, in each case as
is consistent with sound business practice for companies in substantially the same industry as the Guarantor and its Material Subsidiaries and Subsidiary Account Parties; and the Guarantor will furnish to the LC Issuer, upon request, information
presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried. 
 SECTION 5.05 Compliance with Laws. The Guarantor will comply, and

Laws, Anti-Money-Laundering Laws, Environmental Laws and ERISA and the rules and regulations thereunder) except (i) where the necessity of compliance therewith is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or (ii) where such non-compliance therewith would not (A) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (B) in the case of the laws, rules, regulations and orders referred to in Section 4.16, reasonably
be expected to result in the LC Issuer violating such laws, rules, regulations or orders. 
 SECTION 5.06 Inspection of Property, Books

visit and inspect any of their respective properties, to examine and make abstracts from any of their respective books and records and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers, employees, actuaries
and independent public accountants, all upon reasonable notice, at such reasonable times during ordinary business hours; provided that such inspections shall be limited to once per fiscal year of the Guarantor, unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case such inspection rights may be exercised as often as the LC Issuer desires and at the expense of the Guarantor; provided, further, that neither the Guarantor nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall be required to disclose any (i) trade secrets of the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries, (ii) information subject to attorney-client privilege to the extent disclosure thereof would impair such privilege or
(iii) information subject to confidentiality obligations to third parties the disclosure of which would cause the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries to be in breach of such obligations.

Consolidated Net Worth, calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter, to be less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) (x) prior to the end of the first fiscal quarter of the Guarantor ending after the IPO Effective


  
 31 








 
Date, $8,169,000,000 or (y) on and after the end of the first fiscal quarter of the Guarantor ending after the IPO Effective Date, 70% of the actual Adjusted Consolidated Net Worth of the

each fiscal quarter. 
 With respect to all testing periods prior to the end of the first fiscal quarter after the IPO Effective Date,
Adjusted Consolidated Net Worth, Consolidated Total Indebtedness and Consolidated Total Capitalization shall be calculated as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available, giving pro forma
effect to the Transactions. 
 SECTION 5.08 Negative Pledge. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create or
suffer to exist any Lien upon any present or future Capital Stock or any other Ownership Interests (as defined below) of any of its Material Subsidiaries (other than any Subsidiary established primarily for the purpose of reinsuring liabilities
associated with the level premium term business, the universal life business with secondary guarantees or variable annuities of the Guarantor or any Insurance Subsidiary). As used herein “Ownership Interests” means, with respect to
any Person, all of the shares of Capital Stock of such Person and all debt securities of such Person that can be converted or exchanged for Capital Stock of such Person, whether voting or nonvoting, and whether or not such Capital Stock or debt
securities are outstanding on any date of determination. 
 SECTION 5.09 Consolidations, Mergers and Sales of Assets. No Obligor will
(i) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or (ii) sell, lease or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other Person;
provided that the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Account Party may merge or consolidate with another Person if (x) the Guarantor or such Subsidiary Account Party, as applicable, is the corporation surviving such merger or consolidation or,
in the case of a merger or consolidation by a Subsidiary Account Party with and into another Person where such other Person is the surviving entity, such Person meets the requirements for a Subsidiary Account Party set out in Section 8.11 and
is or becomes a Subsidiary Account Party pursuant to Section 8.11 and (y) immediately after giving effect to such merger or consolidation, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

SECTION 5.10 Use of Credit. Each Subsidiary Account Party shall use each Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement for its general
corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to support variable annuity policy and reinsurance reserve credit requirements. No Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of
the Regulations of the FRB, including Regulations T, U and X. After the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, not more than 25% of the value (as determined by any reasonable method) of the assets of any of the Obligors will be represented by
Margin Stock. 

  
 32 








 SECTION 5.11 Obligations to be Pari Passu . The obligations of each Obligor under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party will rank at all times pari passu as to priority of payment and in all other respects with all other material unsecured and unsubordinated Debt of the such Obligor, with the exception
of those obligations that are mandatorily preferred by law and not by contract. 
 SECTION 5.12 Certain Debt. The Guarantor will not
at any time permit the sum of (i) Non-Operating Indebtedness of the Guarantor that is secured by a Lien on any property or assets of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and
(ii) Non-Operating Indebtedness of the Subsidiaries of the Guarantor to exceed $500,000,000, except (i) Debt set forth in Schedule III hereto and (ii) Debt of any Subsidiary of the

time, payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise be applicable. 
 ARTICLE VII 

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES 
 SECTION
7.01 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. 
 (a) Except with respect to the taxes which are governed solely by Section 7.02, if on
or after the date hereof, in the case of any Letter of Credit or any obligation to issue, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the LC Issuer (or its Applicable Lending Office) with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the LC Issuer (or its Applicable Lending
Office), shall impose on the LC Issuer (or its Applicable Lending Office) or its obligation to issue Letters of Credit, any outstanding Letters of Credit or reimbursement claims in respect of LC Disbursements, or shall subject the LC Issuer (or its
Applicable Lending Office) to any taxes not governed by Section 7.02 on its letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost or expense to the LC Issuer (or its Applicable Lending Office) of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the LC Issuer (or its Applicable Lending
Office) under this Agreement or under other Credit Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by the LC Issuer to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by the LC Issuer, the Guarantor shall pay to the LC Issuer such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate the LC Issuer for such increased cost or reduction. 
 (b) If the LC Issuer shall have determined that,
after the Effective Date (subject to clause (d) below), the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity
requirements, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of the LC Issuer (or its Parent) as a
consequence of the LC Issuer’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which the LC Issuer (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to
capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by the LC Issuer to be material, then from time to 

  
 36 








 
time, within 15 days after demand by the LC Issuer, the Guarantor shall pay to the LC Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the LC Issuer (or its Parent) for such reduction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.01, the Guarantor shall not be required to compensate the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b) for any amounts incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that the
LC Issuer notifies the Guarantor of the LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor, to the extent the LC Issuer had knowledge of the circumstances giving rise to such claim for compensation and its effects on the rate of return on
capital in respect of this facility prior to such 270 day period; provided that, if the change in law giving rise to any such increased cost or reductions is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include
the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (c) The LC Issuer will promptly notify the Guarantor of any event of which it has knowledge,
occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle the LC Issuer to compensation pursuant to this Section 7.01. A certificate of the LC Issuer claiming compensation under this Section 7.01 and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder and, in reasonable detail, the LC Issuer’s computation of such amount or amounts, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the LC Issuer may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 7.01, (x) the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the LC Issuer for
International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have gone into
effect after the Effective Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued; provided that the LC Issuer shall not demand compensation pursuant to this Section 7.01 as a result of increased cost or reduced return resulting from
Basel III or the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of the LC Issuer to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers (to the extent that, with respect
to such increased cost or reduced return, the LC Issuer has the right to do so under its credit facilities with similarly situated borrowers). 

SECTION 7.02 Taxes. 
 (a)
For purposes of this Section 7.02, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “FATCA” means Sections 1471
through 1474 of the Code, as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version of such sections that are substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official
interpretations thereof and any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement, treaty or convention among
governmental authorities and implementing such Sections of the Code. 

  
 37 








 “Taxes” means any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings of any nature with respect to any payment by the Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and all liabilities with respect thereto, but excluding, in the case of the LC Issuer,
(i) taxes imposed on its net income (however denominated), and franchise, branch profits or similar taxes imposed on it, by a jurisdiction under the laws of which the LC Issuer is organized or in which its principal executive office is located
or, in the case of the LC Issuer, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located, (ii) taxes on or measured by its overall net income (however denominated), or any similar taxes imposed on it, imposed by reason of any present or former
connection between such recipient and the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) imposing such taxes, other than connections arising solely as a result of the recipient’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of any
extension of credit hereunder or the performance of any action provided for hereunder, (iii) in the case of the LC Issuer, U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of the LC Issuer with respect to an
applicable interest in the Credit Agreement pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which the LC Issuer acquires such interest in the Credit Agreement or the LC Issuer changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant
to this Section 7.02, amounts with respect to such taxes were payable either to the LC Issuer’s assignor immediately before the LC Issuer became a party hereto or to the LC Issuer immediately before it changed its lending office,
(iv) taxes attributable to such recipient’s failure to comply with Section 7.02(d) or Section 7.02 (e) and any U.S. federal backup withholding Tax, and (v) any U.S. Federal withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA (all such
excluded taxes enumerated in (i)–(v), “Excluded Taxes”). If the form provided by the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 7.02 (d) at the time the LC Issuer first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States
interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, any United States interest withholding tax at such rate imposed on payments by the Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be excluded from the definition of
“Taxes”. 
 “Other Taxes” means any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property
taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other
Credit Document, but excluding any such taxes described in clause (ii) of the definition of Excluded Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment. 

“Withholding Agent” means the Guarantor. 

(b) Any and all payments by any Withholding Agent to or for the account of the LC Issuer hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be
made free and clear and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if any Withholding Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments (for the avoidance of doubt,
other than Excluded Taxes), (i) the sum payable by the Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 7.02) the LC Issuer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) such Withholding Agent (as the case may be) shall make such deductions or withholdings,
(iii) such Withholding Agent (as the case may be) shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Guarantor shall promptly furnish to the
LC Issuer, at its address referred to in Section 8.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 

  
 38 








 (c) The Guarantor agrees to indemnify the LC Issuer for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes,
for the avoidance of doubt, other than Excluded Taxes, (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section 7.02), whether or not correctly or legally imposed, paid by the LC Issuer
and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 30 days after LC Issuer makes demand therefor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Guarantor shall not be under any
obligation to indemnify the LC Issuer under this Section 7.02 with respect to (i) any amounts withheld or deducted by the Guarantor prior to the date that is 270 days prior to the date that the LC Issuer makes a written demand therefor or
(ii) any Indemnified Taxes paid by the LC Issuer if written demand therefor is made to the Guarantor on a date that is 270 days after the date the LC Issuer filed the tax return with respect to which such Indemnified Taxes relate. 

(d) The LC Issuer that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document
shall deliver to the Guarantor, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Guarantor, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Guarantor as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the LC Issuer, if reasonably requested by the Guarantor, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Guarantor as will enable the Guarantor to determine
whether or not the LC Issuer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on or prior to the date of this Agreement, (i) LC Issuer, if it is not incorporated under the
laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to the Guarantor two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (as applicable), certifying in either case that the LC Issuer is
entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without or with reduced deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) the LC Issuer, if it is incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a
state thereof agrees that it will deliver to the Guarantor two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. The LC Issuer, if it so delivers a Form
W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (as applicable) further undertakes to deliver to the Guarantor two additional copies of such form (or successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Guarantor certifying that the LC Issuer is entitled to receive payments
under this Agreement without or with reduced deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless the LC Issuer promptly notifies the Guarantor in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(e) If a payment made to the LC Issuer under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the LC
Issuer fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the LC Issuer shall deliver to the Guarantor and the


  
 39 








 
Withholding Agent at the time prescribed by law and at such times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent or the Guarantor such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as
prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent or the Guarantor sufficient for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to
determine that the LC Issuer has complied with such applicable reporting requirements or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to
FATCA after the date of this Agreement. The LC Issuer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the
Guarantor and the Withholding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
 (f) For any period with respect to which the LC Issuer has
failed to provide the Guarantor with the appropriate form as required by Section 7.02 (d) or Section 7.02 (e) (whether or not the LC Issuer is lawfully able to do so, unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation
occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), the LC Issuer shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.02 (b) or (c) with respect to any withholding of the United States federal
income tax resulting from such failure; provided that if the LC Issuer, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the
Guarantor shall take such commercially reasonable steps as the LC Issuer shall reasonably request to assist the LC Issuer to recover such Taxes from the applicable governmental authority. 

(g) The LC Issuer shall, at the request of the Guarantor, use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions)
to file any certificate or document requested by the Guarantor if the making of such a filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts payable to or for the account of the LC Issuer pursuant to this
Section 7.02 which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole judgment of the LC Issuer, require the LC Issuer to disclose any confidential or proprietary information or be otherwise disadvantageous to the LC Issuer. Furthermore, if the
LC Issuer determines, it its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.02 (including the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 7.02), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Indemnitee and
without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant governmental authority). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such Indemnitee, shall repay to such Indemnitee the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. 

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.02 shall interfere with the rights of the LC Issuer to conduct its fiscal or
tax affairs in such manner as it deems fit. 

  
 40 








 SECTION 7.03 Mitigation Obligations. If the LC Issuer requests compensation under
Section 7.01, or if the Guarantor is required to pay any additional amount to the LC Issuer or any governmental body, agency or official for the account of the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 7.02, then the LC Issuer shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its LC Exposure hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the LC Issuer
(with the concurrence of the Guarantor), such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or 7.02, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject the LC Issuer to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the LC Issuer. The Guarantor hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the LC Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

ARTICLE VIII

The LC Issuer or the Guarantor may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

SECTION 8.02 No Waivers. No failure or delay by the LC Issuer in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall
be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 
 SECTION 8.03 Expenses; Indemnification; Non-Liability of the LC Issuer. 
 (a) The Guarantor shall pay (i) all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the LC Issuer and its Affiliates, including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one primary counsel and,
if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction and a single regulatory counsel, for the LC Issuer, in connection with the preparation, due diligence, administration, closing and enforcement of this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment 

  
 41 








 
hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder (it being understood and agreed that the aggregate fees and disbursement of counsel to the LC Issuer and its Affiliates prior to the Effective
Date shall not exceed $30,000) and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Issuer, including fees and disbursements of one
firm of primary counsel and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction and a single regulatory counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other
enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. 
 (b) Each Obligor agrees to indemnify the LC Issuer, its Affiliates and its directors,
officers, agents, advisors and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, costs of settlement and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Indemnitees, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with, or as a result of, any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto or whether such proceeding is brought by an Obligor, its equity holders or its creditors) relating to or
arising out of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or any other transactions contemplated hereby;
(ii) any Letter of Credit (or any drawing honored thereunder) or the use of proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the LC Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such
demand do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), whether based on contract, tort, or any
other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses have
resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, (y) the material breach in bad faith by such Indemnitee of its material obligations hereunder or (z) any claim, litigation, or
proceeding solely among Indemnitees brought by any Indemnitee against another Indemnitee that does not involve an act or omission (or alleged act or omission) by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or AXA, in the case of each of the foregoing
clauses (x) and (y), as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Paragraph (b) of this Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any
Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for 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 agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby, any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. None of the Guarantor or its Related Parties shall have any liability under this Section 8.03 for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that this sentence shall not limit the Guarantor’s
indemnification obligations herein to the extent that such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which an Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder. 

  
 42 








 (d) The agreements in this Section 8.03 shall survive the termination of the Commitment and
the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.04 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this
Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Obligors and the LC Issuer. 

SECTION 8.05 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns; provided, however, that the Guarantor may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the LC Issuer. 

(b) The LC Issuer may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (other than to any Disqualified Institution) (each a
“Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Letters of Credit. In the event of any such grant by the LC Issuer of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the
Guarantor, the LC Issuer shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Guarantor shall continue to deal solely and directly with the LC Issuer in connection with the LC Issuer’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which the LC Issuer may grant such a participating interest shall provide that the LC Issuer shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder
including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that the LC Issuer will not agree to any modification,
amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in the proviso of Section 8.05(a) without the consent of the Participant. The Guarantor agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to
the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) of this Section shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of
a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). The LC Issuer that grants a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Guarantor, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Letters of Credit or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”); provided that the LC Issuer shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Letter of Credit or other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in
registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the LC Issuer shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

  
 43 








 (c) The LC Issuer may at any time assign to one or more NAIC Approved Banks all (but not a
portion of) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with (and subject to) the written consent (which in each case shall be exercised in its sole discretion) of each Obligor. 

(d) The LC Issuer may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to secure obligations of the LC
Issuer, including, without limitation, to one or more of the Federal Reserve Banks which comprise the Federal Reserve System or other central banks. No such assignment shall release the LC Issuer from its obligations hereunder. 

(e) No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 7.01 or 7.02 than the LC Issuer would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (i) with the Guarantor’s prior written consent, (ii) by reason of the provisions of Section 7.03 requiring such Participant to designate a different
Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or (iii) at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist. 

SECTION 8.06 New York Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

SECTION 8.07 Judicial Proceedings. 

(a) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Obligor hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City, borough of Manhattan, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby. Each Obligor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such
proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (b) Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. Each
Subsidiary Account Party irrevocably designates and appoints the Guarantor, and the Guarantor hereby accepts such appointment, at its office in New York, New York set forth beneath the Guarantor’s signature on the signature page hereof, as the
authorized agent of such Subsidiary Account Party, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in subsection (a) of this
Section 8.07 in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City. Said designation and appointment shall be irrevocable by each Subsidiary Account Party until all reimbursement obligations, interest thereon and all other amounts
payable hereunder shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof or, if earlier, when such Subsidiary Account Party is terminated as a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder pursuant to Section 8.11. 

  
 44 








 (c) Service of Process. Each Obligor hereby consents to process being served in any suit,
action or proceeding of the nature referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 8.07 in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City by service of process upon its agent appointed as provided in subsection (b) of this
Section 8.07; provided that, to the extent lawful and possible, notice of said service upon such agent shall be mailed by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to such Obligor at its address
specified on the signature page hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Account Party, on the signature page of the Subsidiary Joinder Agreement to which it is a party) or to any other address of which such Obligor shall have given written notice
to the LC Issuer. Each Obligor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service in such manner and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process
upon such Obligor in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to such Obligor. 

(d) No Limitation on Service or Suit. Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall affect the right of the LC Issuer to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law or limit the right of the LC Issuer to bring proceedings against the Guarantor in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions. 

SECTION 8.08 Counterparts; Integration; Headings. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction
of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.09 Confidentiality. The LC Issuer agrees that it
will maintain the confidentiality of, and will not use for any purpose (other than exercising its rights and enforcing its remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents), any written or oral information provided under this Agreement by or
on behalf of the Guarantor (hereinafter collectively called “Confidential Information”), subject to the LC Issuer’s (a) obligation to disclose any such Confidential Information pursuant to a request or order under
applicable laws and regulations or by a self-regulatory body or pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, (b) right to disclose any such Confidential Information to its bank examiners, auditors, counsel and other professional advisors and
to its subsidiaries and Affiliates and the subsidiaries and Affiliates of its holding company, provided that the LC Issuer shall cause each such subsidiary or Affiliate to maintain the Confidential Information on the same terms as the terms
provided herein, (c) right to disclose any such Confidential Information in connection with any litigation or dispute involving the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, (d) right to provide such information to participants,
prospective participants, prospective assignees or assignees pursuant to Section 8.05 (with the consent of the Guarantor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)) to its agents if prior thereto such participant, prospective participant,
prospective assignee or agent agrees in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms substantially similar to those of this Section 8.09 as if it were the LC Issuer, (e) right to disclose any such Confidential


  
 45 








 
Information in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) with the prior written consent of the Guarantor, right to disclose any such Confidential Information on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating the Guarantor or its
Subsidiaries or this facility and (g) right to provide such information with the Guarantor’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such information supplied to the LC Issuer, participant, prospective participant or
prospective assignee under this Agreement shall cease to be Confidential Information if it is or becomes known to such Person by other than unauthorized disclosure, or if it is, at the time of disclosure, or becomes a matter of public knowledge.

 SECTION 8.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OBLIGOR AND THE LC ISSUER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 SECTION 8.11 Joinder
and Termination of Subsidiary Account Party. 
 (a) Any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Guarantor that is organized
under the laws of the United States and that is organized, licensed or regulated under applicable law as an insurance or reinsurance company may, upon the request of the Guarantor at any time, upon not less than three Domestic Business Days’
notice to the LC Issuer, become a party to this Agreement as a Subsidiary Account Party, provided that such Subsidiary shall have delivered an executed Subsidiary Joinder Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, to the
LC Issuer for acceptance by it, and provided further that on and as of the date of acceptance of such Subsidiary Joinder Agreement by the LC Issuer (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
(ii) the LC Issuer shall have received all documents and instruments as they may reasonably request related to such Subsidiary, including legal opinions and information required to comply with “know your customer” or similar
identification requirements of the LC Issuer, in each case, to the reasonable satisfaction of the LC Issuer and (iii) such Subsidiary Account Party shall be deemed to have appointed the Guarantor as its authorized agent pursuant to
Section 8.07(b) to accept service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of any nature in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby. Solely for purposes of this Section 8.11(a), prior to the consummation of the Transactions, AXA Financial (and any wholly-owned Subsidiary thereof) will be deemed to be a
wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Guarantor so long as (i) the Guarantor directly owns securities or other ownership interests representing at least 99.0% of the economic and voting interests having ordinary voting power in AXA Financial and
(ii) any economic or voting interests in AXA Financial that are not directly owned by the Guarantor are, directly or indirectly, owned by AXA. 

(b) The Guarantor may, at any time at which a Subsidiary Account Party shall not be an account party with respect to an outstanding Letter of
Credit and shall not have any outstanding Obligations hereunder, terminate such Subsidiary Account Party as a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder by delivering an executed notice thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, to the
LC Issuer. Immediately upon the receipt by the LC Issuer of such notice, 

  
 46 








 
all commitments of the LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit for the account of such Subsidiary Account Party and all rights of such Subsidiary Account Party hereunder shall terminate and such
Subsidiary Account Party shall immediately cease to be a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder; provided that all obligations of such Subsidiary Account Party as a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder arising in respect of any period in which such
Subsidiary Account Party was, or on account of any action or inaction by such Subsidiary Account Party as, a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder shall survive such termination. 

SECTION 8.12 USA PATRIOT Act. The LC Issuer hereby notifies each Obligor that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, the LC
Issuer may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of each Obligor and other information that will allow the LC Issuer to identify each Obligor in accordance
with said Act. 
 SECTION 8.13 No Fiduciary Duty. The LC Issuer and its Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this
Section 8.13, the “LC Issuer”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Obligors, their respective stockholders and/or their affiliates. The Guarantor agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise
will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the LC Issuer, on the one hand, and the Guarantor, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Guarantor acknowledges and
agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the LC
Issuer, on the one hand, and the Guarantor, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) the LC Issuer has not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Guarantor, its
stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the LC Issuer has advised, is currently advising
or will advise the Guarantor, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Guarantor except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) the LC Issuer is acting solely as principal
and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Guarantor, its management, stockholders or creditors or any other Person. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Guarantor has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed
appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Guarantor agrees that it will not claim that the LC Issuer has rendered advisory services of any
nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Guarantor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. 

SECTION 8.14 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the LC Issuer and each of its Affiliates is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time
owing by the LC Issuer or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all the obligations of any Obligor at the time existing under this Agreement held by the LC Issuer, irrespective of whether or not the LC
Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the LC Issuer under this Section 8.14 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including any other rights of setoff) which
the LC Issuer may have. The LC Issuer agrees to notify the Guarantor promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

  
 47 








 SECTION 8.15 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of
EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Credit Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority, if applicable, and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any
Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in
full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into
shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by
it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or 
 the variation of the terms of such
liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

 Except as expressly stated herein, this undertaking is not

 It is a condition of this Letter of Credit that the Expiration Date shall be deemed to be
