 REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of June 29, 2018, among AVANGRID, INC., a New York
corporation (“Avangrid”), NEW YORK STATE ELECTRIC & GAS CORPORATION, a New York corporation (“NYSEG”), ROCHESTER GAS AND ELECTRIC CORPORATION, a New York corporation (“RGE”), CENTRAL MAINE
POWER COMPANY, a Maine corporation (“CMP”), THE UNITED ILLUMINATING COMPANY, a specially chartered Connecticut corporation (“UI”), CONNECTICUT NATURAL GAS CORPORATION, a Connecticut corporation
(“CNG”), THE SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT GAS COMPANY, a Connecticut corporation (“SCG”), and THE BERKSHIRE GAS COMPANY, a Massachusetts gas company (“BGC”; together with Avangrid, NYSEG, RGE, CMP, UI, CNG
and SCG, the “Borrowers”; each, a “Borrower”), the Lenders (as defined herein), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), MUFG BANK, LTD. and SANTANDER BANK,
N.A., as co-documentation agents (the “Co-Documentation Agents”), the BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as syndication agent (the “Syndication
Agent”) and BANCO BILBAO VIZCAYA ARGENTARIA, S.A. NEW YORK BRANCH, as sustainability agent (the “Sustainability Agent”, and together with the Syndication Agent and the
Co-Documentation Agents, the “Other Agents”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, each Borrower has requested, and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed,
to extend certain credit facilities to the Borrowers on the terms and conditions of this Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises and the agreements hereinafter set forth, such parties hereby agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. METHOD OF BORROWING AND
PAYMENT OF FEES 
 1.01. Commitments; Loans. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and
not jointly, to make revolving loans (“Loans”) in Dollars to each Borrower at any time and from time to time from and including the date hereof to but excluding the Termination Date, or until the earlier termination of its
Commitment, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the amount of its Commitment; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans to any Borrower outstanding at any time shall not exceed
such Borrower’s Sublimit and (ii) the Total Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Commitments. Loans made to any Borrower shall be the several obligations of such Borrower. 

(b) The Loans made by the Lenders on any Borrowing Date that are ABR Loans shall be (i) in a minimum aggregate principal amount of
$1,000,000, (ii) in an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess of the amount provided in clause (i) above or (iii) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the Total Commitment, as the case may be. The Loans
made by the Lenders on any Borrowing Date that are Eurodollar Loans shall be (A) in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 (or, if less, in the amount of the Total Commitments less the Total Extensions of Credit) or (B) in an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of the amount provided in clause (A) above, as the case may be. 







 1.02. Borrowings. 

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). 
 (b) Each Loan shall be an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar
Loan, as such Borrower may request, subject to and in accordance with Section 2.01. Each Lender may at its option fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be
outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten separate Eurodollar Loans of any Lender being outstanding to such
Borrower hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Eurodollar Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Loans. 

1.03. Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Sublimits. 

(a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly be
communicated by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders), the Borrowers may at any time permanently terminate in whole, or from time to time permanently reduce in part, the Commitment of each Lender in respect of each Borrower, ratably in accordance
with the proportion that each Lender’s Commitment bears to the Total Commitment; provided that such termination or reduction of Commitments shall have the effect of reducing or terminating each Borrower’s Sublimit in a pro rata
amount; provided further that at no time shall the Extensions of Credit of any Lender exceed the Commitment of such Lender. Each such partial reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be in the aggregate principal amount of
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of $5,000,000. 
 (b) Each of the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the applicable Facility Fee on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued through the date of such termination or reduction. 

(c) The Commitments shall be automatically terminated on the Termination Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any other provision of
this Section 1.03 or Section 8. 

  
 2 








 1.04. Extensions of Commitments. 

(a) The Borrowers may, by sending an Extension Letter in substantially the form of Exhibit E to the Administrative Agent (in
which case the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to each anniversary of the Closing Date, request that the Lenders extend the Termination Date then in
effect (the “Current Termination Date”) so that it will occur one year after the Current Termination Date. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall advise in response to such extension request, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent given not less than 15 days and not more than 30 days prior to the Current Termination Date or the next occurring anniversary of the Closing Date, as the case may be (such date on which a Lender may give notice of its intention
to extend the Current Termination Date being referred to herein as the “Final Election Date”), whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that so advises the Administrative Agent that it will not extend the
Current Termination Date being referred to herein as a “Non-Extending Lender”). Any Lender that does not advise the Administrative Agent by the Final Election Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to agree. 

(b) (i) In response to such extension request under Section 1.04(a), if Lenders holding Commitments that
aggregate 50% or more of the Total Commitments of the Lenders on or prior to the Final Election Date have not agreed to extend the Termination Date, then the Current Termination Date shall not be so extended and the outstanding principal balance of
all loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall be due and payable on the Current Termination Date. 
 (ii) In response
to such extension request under Section 1.04(a), if Lenders holding Commitments that aggregate more than 50% of the Total Commitments on or immediately prior to the Final Election Date have agreed to extend the Current
Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Borrower of such agreement in writing no later than five days after the Final Election Date, and effective on the Current Termination Date or the next occurring anniversary of the Closing
Date, as the case may be (the “Extension Date”), the Termination Date applicable to the Lenders that have agreed to such extension (such Lenders being referred to herein as “Continuing Lenders”) shall be the day
that is one year after the Current Termination Date. In the event of such extension, the Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on the Current Termination Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lender, all Loans and other amounts payable hereunder to such Non-Extending Lender shall become due and payable on such Current Termination Date and the Total
Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be reduced by the aggregate Commitments of Non-Extending Lenders so terminated on and after such Current Termination Date. Each
Non-Extending Lender shall be required to maintain its original Commitments up to the Termination Date, or Current Termination Date, as applicable, to which such
Non-Extending Lender had previously agreed. 
 (c) In the event that the conditions
in Section 1.04(b)(ii) have been satisfied, the Borrowers shall have the right on or before the Extension Date, at their own expense, to require any Non-Extending Lender to
transfer and assign without recourse or representation (except as to title and the absence of Liens created by it) (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.02) all its interests,
rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (which may include any Lender) (each, an “Extension Lender”); provided that (w) such Extension Lender agrees
that the Termination 

  
 3 








 
Date applicable to it shall be the day that is one year after the Current Termination Date, (x) such Extension Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of
the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (y) such assignment shall become effective as of the Extension Date and (z) such Extension Lender shall pay to such
Non-Extending Lender in immediately available funds on the effective date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Non-Extending Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Non-Extending Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension
of the Termination Date shall become effective unless, on the Extension Date, the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to the making of a Loan being
deemed to be references to the extension of the Commitments on the Extension Date) and the Administrative Agent shall have received certificates to that effect with respect to each Borrower dated the Extension Date and executed by a responsible
officer of such Borrower. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.04, the
Termination Date shall not be extended unless the aggregate Commitments of the Continuing Lenders and any other Extension Lenders are greater than or equal to the Total Extensions of Credit as of the Extension Date. 

(e) There shall be no more than two extensions under this Section 1.04. 

1.05. Additional Commitments. 

(a) In the event that the Borrowers wish to increase the Commitments at any time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, they
shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the “Proposed Increase Amount”) of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”); provided that the aggregate amount of
any such increase in Commitments shall be at least $10,000,000. The Borrowers may offer to the existing Lenders and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), one or more additional banks,
financial institutions or other entities the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the Proposed Increase Amount pursuant to Section 1.05(b). 

(b) Any Lender that accepts an offer to it by the Borrowers to increase its Commitment pursuant
to Section 1.05(a) shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement with each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, whereupon such Lender shall be
bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule 1.01 shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Commitment of such Lender. 

(c) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which the Borrowers select to offer participation in the increased Commitment
and which elects to become a party to this Agreement and provide a Commitment in an amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to Section 1.05(a) shall execute an Additional Lender Supplement with each Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit G, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (herein called an “Additional Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the
same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule 1.01 shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Commitment of such Additional Lender;
provided that the Commitment of any such Additional Lender shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000. 

  
 4 








 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.05,
(i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Section 1.05 cause the Total Commitments to exceed $3,250,000,000, (ii) in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of Loans owed by
any Borrower exceed such Borrower’s Sublimit, (iii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion and (iv) any increase of Commitments pursuant to
this Section 1.05 shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02(a) (as modified as for extensions of credit made after the Closing
Date) and Section 5.02(b) on the applicable Accordion Effective Date. 
 (e) Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each Additional Lender and each Lender that executes a Commitment Increase Supplement or Additional Lender Supplement, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 1.05(b) (each, an
“Accordion Lender”) shall, on the date upon which its Commitment or increased Commitment, as the case may be, becomes effective (its “Accordion Effective Date”), make Loans to each Borrower, and each Borrower shall
prepay outstanding Loans owing to the Lenders other than such Accordion Lender(s), in amounts such that, after giving effect to the making of such Loans by such Accordion Lender and the prepayment of outstanding Loans owing to Lenders other than
such Accordion Lender(s), the aggregate principal amount of Loans owing to each Lender shall equal such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (determined after giving effect to the new or increased Commitment of such Accordion Lender(s)) of the
aggregate amount of the Loans outstanding on such Accordion Effective Date. On such Accordion Effective Date, each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, any amounts owing to such Lenders pursuant
to Section 2.12 in respect of Loans prepaid on such Accordion Effective Date pursuant to this Section 1.05(e). 

(f) At the time the Borrowers submit a Commitment Increase Notice, they shall advise the Lenders of the proposed new Sublimits. 

1.06. Adjustments of Sublimits. The Borrowers may from time to time so long as no Event of Default exists with respect to any
Borrower, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent in a Sublimit Adjustment Letter in substantially the form of Exhibit H (in which case the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a
copy to each of the Lenders), change their respective Sublimits; provided that (i) the aggregate amount of the Sublimits shall equal but not exceed the Total Commitments, (ii) each Sublimit shall be an
integral multiple of $5,000,000 and (iii) the Sublimit of each Borrower shall not exceed such Borrower’s Maximum Sublimit. 

  
 5 








 SECTION 2.  

THE LOANS 
 2.01. Notice
and Provision of Loans. 
 (a) Each Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written or facsimile notice (or telephone notice
promptly confirmed in writing or by facsimile) (x) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing by such Borrower, or (y) in the case of an ABR Borrowing,
not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the day of a proposed Borrowing by such Borrower. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar
Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof; and (iii) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as
to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, or with respect to any notice provided
for under Section 2.07(a) hereof, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Upon receipt of any such notice from a Borrower, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. 
 (b) Each Lender shall make a Loan in the amount required, as determined
under Section 2.13, with respect to each Borrowing hereunder on the Borrowing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, not later than 12:00 noon, New York
time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 3:00 p.m., New York time, credit the amounts so received to the general deposit account of such Borrower with the Administrative Agent or such other general deposit account of such Borrower designated in
writing to the Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from a Lender (x) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, prior to the date of any such Borrowing, and (y) in the case of an ABR Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of any Borrowing, that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing
in accordance with this Section 2.01(b) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to such Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such
Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable
at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such
interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its portion of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement and such Borrower’s obligation under this Section 2.01(b) to pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount shall be deemed terminated. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without
prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 6 








 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to
request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date. 
 2.02. Repayment
of Loans. The outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date with respect thereto unless such Loan is continued or converted in accordance with Section 2.07;
provided that in any event the outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall be payable not later than the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the Borrowing Date with respect to
such Loan and (ii) the Termination Date. Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date as set forth in Section 2.04. 

2.03. Facility Fees, etc. 

(a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (a “Facility Fee”)
for the period from and including the Closing Date until all of the Loans have been repaid and the Commitments have been terminated, computed at such Borrower’s Facility Fee Rate then in effect on the Commitment Percentage of such Lender of the
total amount of the Facility (drawn or undrawn) multiplied by such Borrower’s Fee Percentage, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, on the Termination Date, (and if applicable, thereafter on
demand), commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date. If any Commitment shall be reduced in part, the Facility Fee shall be paid in accordance with Section 1.03(b). 

(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the Fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by such
Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative
Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 

2.04. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. 

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when
due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.04 plus 2%; and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest 

  
 7 








 
payable on any Loan or any Fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%; in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is
paid in full. 
 (c) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant
to Section 2.04(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 2.05. Computation of Interest
and Fees. 
 (a) Interest and Fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the
basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify each Borrower and the
Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such
change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify each Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and
binding on each Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of any Borrower, deliver to such Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.09(a). 
 (c) If, as a result of any restatement of public disclosure, inaccuracy in any
certificate delivered pursuant to the foregoing or similar miscalculation of the Sustainability Amount and an increase in the Applicable Margins for such period would result from proper calculations based thereon, the Borrowers shall retroactively
be obligated to pay (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to a Borrower Debtor Relief Laws, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to
the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. 

2.06. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period the Administrative Agent shall have determined
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the relevant Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
Period, or that such Eurodollar Rate is not available, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to such Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, then (x) any
Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as
ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the 

  
 8 








 
then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall such
Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in above are unlikely
to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth above have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the Screen
Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate will
permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying
a specific date after which the Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative
Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate
of interest to the Eurodollar Base Rate and/or Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an
amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable
Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 11.07, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of
such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this
Section 2.06, (x) any notice provided under Section 2.07 that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any notice provided pursuant to
Section 2.01 requests a Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan. 
 2.07. Continuation and
Conversion of Loans. 
 (a) Each Borrower shall have the right, with respect to any Eurodollar Loan made to such Borrower, at the end of
any Interest Period, on three Business Days’ prior telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall be confirmed in writing on the next Business Day thereafter) (i) to continue such Loan into a subsequent Interest Period
(provided that no Loan shall be continued into an Interest Period that ends on a date that is later than the earlier to occur of the one-year anniversary of the Borrowing Date with respect to such
Loan and the Termination Date) or (ii) to convert such Loan into an ABR Loan. 
 (b) Each Borrower shall have the right, with respect to
any ABR Loan made to such Borrower, at any time, on three Business Days’ prior telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall be confirmed in writing on the next Business Day thereafter), to convert such Loan into a Eurodollar Loan.


  
 9 








 (c) Any notice required to be given by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable. Any notice given by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be promptly communicated by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. 

(d) In addition to the above notice requirements, any continuation or conversion by such Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.07 shall be subject to the following: 
 (i) no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing at the time of such continuation or conversion; 
 (ii) if less than all the Loans at the
time outstanding shall be continued or converted, such continuation or conversion shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans of the Type being continued or converted held by the Lenders
immediately prior to such continuation or conversion; 
 (iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender by applying
the proceeds of the new ABR Loan or Eurodollar Loan, as the case may be, to the Loan being converted; 
 (iv) upon each
conversion of an ABR Loan into a Eurodollar Loan, and upon the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, such Borrower shall pay all accrued interest on such Loan being converted at the time of conversion; 

(v) if the new Loan made in respect of a conversion shall be a Eurodollar Loan, the first Interest Period with respect thereto
shall commence on the date of conversion; 
 (vi) any Loan which may not be continued as or converted into a Eurodollar Loan
shall be automatically continued as or converted to an ABR Loan; provided that each Loan shall be paid in full not later than the earlier to occur of the one-year anniversary of the Borrowing Date with
respect to such Loan and the Termination Date; 
 (vii) (vii) a Eurodollar Loan may be converted to an ABR Loan only on the
last day of an Interest Period; and (viii) any conversion shall be subject to Section 1.01(b) hereof. 

In the event that any Borrower shall not give notice to continue any Eurodollar Loan as a Eurodollar Loan into a subsequent Interest Period,
or to convert any such Loan, such Loan (unless repaid) shall automatically become an ABR Loan at the expiration of the then current Interest Period. 

  
 10 








 2.08. Prepayments. 

(a) Each Borrower shall have the right, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in
whole or in part, provided that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of ABR
Loans); provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000, for any ABR Loan, or (ii) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
less than $3,000,000, for any Eurodollar Loan. 
 (b) If, on the date of any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant
to Section 1.03, or any adjustment of Sublimits pursuant to Section 1.06, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans to any Borrower outstanding at any time exceeds such Borrower’s
Sublimit (such excess, an “Over-Advance”), then such Borrower shall pay or prepay so much of the Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of such Over-Advance and the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding to such
Borrower. 
 (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof)
to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit such Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.08 shall be subject
to Section 2.12 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.08 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid
to the date of payment. Each prepayment shall be made to the Administrative Agent, to be distributed to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the proportion that each Lender’s Loans of the Type prepaid bears to the aggregate amount of all
Lenders’ Loans of such Type outstanding. 
 2.09. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall (i) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other
than (A) changes in respect of taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein and (B) Taxes or Other
Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.16); (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate hereunder); or (iii) impose on any Lender or the interbank eurodollar market any other condition, cost or
expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or of maintaining
its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon prompt request of such Lender,
such Borrower will pay to such Lender as provided in Section 2.09(c) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

  
 11 








 (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office
of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, each Borrower shall pay as provided
in Section 2.09(c) to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) (c) A certificate of each Lender signed by an officer of the respective Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph Section 2.09(a) or 2.09(b), as the case may be, shall be delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall
not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation. The protection of this Section 2.09 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or
inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed. 

2.10. Change in Legality. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Lender determines that any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make
or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by prompt written notice to each Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may: 

(i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by any Borrower
for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless and until such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 

(ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar
Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.10(c). 

(b) In the event any Lender shall give notice pursuant to Section 2.10(a), all payments and prepayments of
principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of,
or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. 

  
 12 








 (c) For purposes of this Section 2.10, a notice to any Borrower by
any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by such Borrower. 

2.11. New Office or Agency; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) If any Lender (i) requests compensation under Section 2.09, (ii) gives notice pursuant
to Section 2.10(a) or (iii) requires the Borrower to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16,
then in each case such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.16 or cause
such Lender to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.10(a), as the case may be, in the future, and (y) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay its pro rata share of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if any Borrower is required to pay additional
amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in
accordance with Section 2.11(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse or representation (except as to title and the absence of any Liens created by it) (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 11.02), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
 (i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the
Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.02; 
 (ii) such Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts
under Section 2.12) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 2.09 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

  
 13 








 (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and 

(v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

2.12. Indemnity. 
 (a)
Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by such Borrower to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set
forth in Section 4, (ii) any failure by such Borrower to borrow or to refinance, convert, continue or prepay any Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such borrowing, refinancing, conversion, continuation or
prepayment has been given pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.07 or 2.08, (iii) any payment, prepayment or conversion by such Borrower of a Eurodollar Loan required by any other provision of
this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued
thereon by such Borrower, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise) or (v) the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to such
Borrower; including, in each case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a
Eurodollar Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (x) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed,
converted or continued (assumed to be the Eurodollar Rate applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion or failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in
the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by
such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed, converted or continued for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts
which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount
shown as due on any certificate within 15 days after its receipt of same. 
 (b) Payments made by any Borrower under
this Section 2.12 shall be the several obligation of such Borrower and no Borrower shall have any liability for, or shall guarantee any obligation of, any other Borrower. 

  
 14 








 (c) The obligations of each Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.13. Pro Rata Treatment. Each Borrowing,
each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment on account of any Facility Fee, each reduction of the Commitments and each refinancing of any Borrowing with, conversion of any Borrowing
to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance
with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans), except in each case (i) as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) as required to give effect to the provisions of Sections
2.09, 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each
Lender’s Percentage of such Borrowing, to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. 
 2.14. Sharing of Setoffs. If any
Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of
the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative
Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that: 

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 

Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such
participation. 

  
 15 








 2.15. Payments. 

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing of such Borrower or any Fees or other amounts
owing by such Borrower) hereunder not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the date when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in immediately available funds, without condition or
deduction for any counterclaim, deduction, recoupment or setoff. 
 (b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any
Borrowing of such Borrower or any Fees or other amounts owing by such Borrower) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. 
 2.16. Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in
accordance with Section 2.15, free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or other charges
imposed by any Governmental Authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto, including interest, additions to tax and penalties, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any
transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity being called a “Transferee”)) and any branch profits or franchise taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) by the
United States or any jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or any such Lender (or Transferee) is organized or doing business in or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings, charges and liabilities hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender (or
any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 2.16) such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower
shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; provided that no Borrower shall be
required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender (or Transferee) pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) or to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 2.16(c) to the extent the
obligation to pay such additional amounts or to provide such indemnification relates to U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA. 

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.16(a), each Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law all present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”) that arise from
any payment made by such Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

  
 16 








 (c) Each Borrower will indemnify each Lender (or Transferee) and the Administrative Agent, within
10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender
(or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. If any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that is has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall promptly notify such Borrower of such refund and shall, within 30 days
after receipt of a request by such Borrower (or promptly upon receipt, if such Borrower has requested application for such refund pursuant hereto), pay such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of amounts that have been paid by such
Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Transferee) or
the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender (or
Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or
Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (c), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (c) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax
subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing contained in
this Section 2.16(c) shall require any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information relating to taxes that it deems to be confidential) to any Borrower or any
other Person. 
 (d) As soon as practicable, and in any event within 30 days, after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in
this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder. 

(f) Upon the written request of any Borrower, each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the
related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either 

  
 17 








 
U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of
“portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit D and a Form W-8BEN or Form
W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender
claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall
deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify each
of the Borrowers at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender
is not legally able to deliver. 
 (g) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which such Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to each of the Borrowers (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 

(h) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to
fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or
times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied
with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement 
 (i) No Borrower shall be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender (or Transferee) in respect of United States
Federal withholding tax pursuant to Section 2.16(a) or to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 2.16(c) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts or to provide such
indemnification would not have arisen but for a failure by such 

  
 18 








 
Lender (or Transferee) to comply with the provisions of Sections 2.16(f), 2.16(g) and 2.16(h); provided, however, that each Borrower shall be required to
pay those amounts or provide such indemnification to any Lender (or Transferee) that it was required to pay or indemnify hereunder prior to the failure of such Lender (or Transferee) to comply with the provisions of Sections
2.16(f) and 2.16(g). 
 (j) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 Business Days
after written demand therefor, for (i) any taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such taxes and without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers
to do so) and (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.02(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (j). 

(k) The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.16 shall be the several obligations of each
Borrower and no Borrower shall have any liability for, or shall guarantee any obligation of, any other Borrower. 
 (l) Each party’s
obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and
the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loan Documents.

and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. None of the covenants given in Section 6.04(c) shall be made to any Lender incorporated in or organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany to the extent that

any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, communication, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it
in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person(s). The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder 

  
 50 








 
to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

(b) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan
Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and
to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facility as well as activities as
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and
nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be responsible for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or the
contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be liable for failing to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrowers of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in
this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders or the holders of any Notes for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or such Notes.
The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have received from the payee of such Note notice, given as provided herein, of the transfer thereof in compliance
with Section 11.02. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders and each subsequent holder of any Note. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall have any responsibility to the Borrowers on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by
any other Lender or the Borrowers of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. 
 The Lenders hereby
acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. 


  
 51 








 10.03. No Amendment to Administrative Agent’s Duties Without
Consent. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or
termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure
to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections
8 or 11.07) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to
have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the applicable Borrower or a Lender. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement
or modification of this Agreement that affects its duties as Administrative Agent under this Agreement unless it shall have given its prior written consent as Administrative Agent thereto. 

  
 52 








 10.04. Responsibilities of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent is hereby
expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (i) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly
to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received in like funds, and (ii) to promptly distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this
Agreement as received by the Administrative Agent. In the event that (x) a Borrower fails to pay when due the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or (y) the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Borrower or any Lender of the
occurrence of an Event of Default or other condition or event, in each case the Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Lenders and shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or other condition or
event as it shall be directed in writing to take by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may take such action or
refrain from taking such action with respect to such Event of Default or other condition or event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver any bill required to be delivered by
the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower. 
 10.05. Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any
demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file
and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts
due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03 and 11.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the
Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03 and 11.03. 

10.06. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or 

  
 53 








 
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual
capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

10.07. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or
any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in
taking or not taking any action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any
responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of any information contained in any document, or any oral information, supplied to such Lender by the Borrowers directly or through the Administrative Agent. 

10.08. Resignation of Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice
of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice
of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. 

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders or the retiring Administrative Agent appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for
in Section 10.08(a). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents. The fees payable by each Borrower to a successor 

  
 54 








 
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable by such Borrower to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between such Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent. 
 10.09. No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers or Other
Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 

SECTION 11.  
 MISCELLANEOUS

 11.01. Notices. 

(a) Any notice shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by a party hereto and be effective on the day on which delivered to such
party at the address set forth below (or at such other address as such party shall specify to the other parties in writing): 

(i) if to the Administrative Agent or any Borrower, at the address thereof set forth in Schedule 11.01; and
(ii) if to any of the Lenders, at the address specified in its Administrative Questionnaire, or if a Lender is a Lender by virtue of an assignment, to it at its address (or facsimile number) set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant
to which such Lender shall have become a party hereto. 
 All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by facsimile or other telegraphic communications equipment of the sender, or on the date five
Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 11.01 or in accordance with the latest
unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 11.01. 
 (b) Notices and other
communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including email and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices
under Section 2 by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the relevant Borrower 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. 

  
 55 








 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications
sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email or other written
acknowledgement) and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of
notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal
business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. 

(c) Any party hereto may change its address (including email address) or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by
notice to the other parties hereto. 
 (d) Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the
Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided
“as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express,
implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is
made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any
Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of such Borrower’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Borrower provides to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to
this Section 11.01, including through the Platform. 
 11.02. Successors and Assigns; Participations,
Assignments and Designations. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Borrower, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02(c),
(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02(b) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions
of Section 11.02(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other
than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.02(b) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of
each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

  
 56 








 (b) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other
parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall 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 Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document)
except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan 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 such Lender 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(ii) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of
the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 11.07 that affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.12 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant
to Section 11.02(c); provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.11 as if it were an Assignee
under Section 11.02(c); provided further that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant
to Section 2.09, 2.10, 2.12 or 2.16 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such
transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 11.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. 


  
 57 








 (c) (i) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law,
at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any Approved Fund or, with the consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (provided that
each Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof), to any other Person (other than any
Borrower, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Borrower, any Defaulting Lender or any other Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing, or any natural person) (an “Assignee”) all or any part of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Assignee, such Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this Section 11.02(c), and
delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender, any affiliate of any Lender or any Approved Fund) shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of less than $5,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. For purposes of the proviso contained
in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its related Approved Funds, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a
Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 2.12,
2.16 and 11.03. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 11.02, the consent of any Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to such Borrower. 
 (ii) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an
aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of each
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable Assignee and Assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and
satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all
Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting 

  
 58 








 
Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.02(c)(ii), then the Assignee of such interest
shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain at its address referred to in Schedule 11.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it
and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any
Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a
Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new Notes shall be issued
to the designated Assignee. 
 (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor, an Assignee and any other Person
whose consent is required by Section 11.02(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment
and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto. 

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of
this Section 11.02 concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment
by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender in accordance with applicable law. The parties to this Agreement further acknowledge that any such pledge or assignment shall
not release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g)
Each Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 11.02(f). 

11.03. Expenses; Indemnity. 

(a) Each Borrower, severally but not jointly, agrees to pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred (i) by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement or in connection with any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated), including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative


  
 59 








 
Agent, and (ii) by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the Loans
made or any Notes issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 

(b) Each Borrower, severally but not jointly, agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Other Agents, the Arrangers and
each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including
reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including any Borrower) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in any connection with, or as
a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds of therefrom, (iii) any violation of, or noncompliance with, any Environmental Law, any actual or alleged
presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any property owned or operated by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual
or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by such Borrower and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by a Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(c) The provisions of this Section 11.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of
the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 11.03 shall be payable on written demand therefor. 

(d) To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under
Section 11.03(a) or 11.03(b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the aggregate Extensions of Credit at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that
the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. 

  
 60 








 (e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each of them
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, any
other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to
in Section 11.03(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

11.04. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender. 
 11.05. Survival of Agreement; Benefit to Successors and
Assigns. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans herein contemplated and the execution and delivery to the
Lenders of any Notes evidencing such Loans and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any portion of any of such Notes is outstanding and unpaid and the Commitments have not been terminated. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties
hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of each Borrower which are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lenders; provided, however, that no interest, rights or duties herein may be assigned by the Borrowers without the prior written approval of all the Lenders. 

11.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender 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 indebtedness at any time
owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its
Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or
Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff,
(x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.16 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative


  
 61 








 
Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it is exercising such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates
under this Section 11.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the
applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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. 

11.07. Waivers; Amendment. 

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The
rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 11.07(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. 
 (b) Except for increasing the Commitments in accordance with
the procedures specified in Section 1.05 and replacing any Lender in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 2.11, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal
amount of, or extend the maturity of, or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on, any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior
written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or decrease the Facility Fee of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the provisions
of Section 2.13, Section 2.14, this Section 11.07 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (iv) amend the last sentences of Sections
4.14, 6.04 or 7.07 without the prior written consent of Required Lenders and each Lender incorporated or organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or
otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by
this Section 11.07 shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. 

(c) Any request by any Borrower for a modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
made in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly communicate such request to the Lenders. Any such waiver, consent or approval granted by the Required Lenders (and such


  
 62 








 
other Persons as may be required under this Section 11.07) shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or
demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 

(d) No waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any breach or default of or by any Borrower under this Agreement shall be deemed a
waiver of any other previous breach or default or any thereafter occurring. 
 (e) In connection with any waiver, determination or direction
relating to any part of Sections 4.14, 6.04(c) or 7.07 of which a Lender does not have the benefit, the Commitment and Loans of that Lender will be excluded for the purpose of determining whether the consent of the requisite Lenders has been
obtained or whether the determination or direction by the requisite Lenders has been made. 
 11.08. Severability. In the event
any one or more provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 11.09. Headings. The Section headings in this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 11.10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. 

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or
otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. 
 (b) Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will
not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern
District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender
may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

  
 63 








 (c) Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to
in Section 11.10(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court. 
 (d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices
in Section 11.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law 

11.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (e.g.
“.pdf” or “.tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

11.12. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, if at any time the
applicable interest rate, together with all Fees and charges which are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or
otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable under the Loan held by such Lender, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. 

11.13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to
the Administrative Agent and any Assignment and Acceptance (executed pursuant to Section 11.02 of this Agreement) constitute the entire contract between each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein
or in the other Loan Documents. 
 11.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
(whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Person would not, in the event of
litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and
certifications in this Section 11.14. 

  
 64 








 11.15. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to
the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT Act of 2001), as amended from time to time (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

 11.16. Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as
such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 
 (i) Such Defaulting Lender’s
right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders. 

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant
to Section 11.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: 

(A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; 

(B) second, as the applicable Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in
respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; 

(C) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro
rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; 

(D) fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; 

(E) fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and 

  
 65 








 (F) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time
when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata
basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a
Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 11.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender
irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (iii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Facility Fee for any period
during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it. 

(b) If each Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent
will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the
other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that
Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 11.17. Certain Acknowledgements. Each of the Borrowers hereby acknowledges and
agrees that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrowers and the Credit Parties is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
irrespective of whether the Credit Parties have advised or are advising the Borrowers on other matters, and the relationship between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith and therewith is
solely that of creditor and debtor, (b) the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, have an arm’s length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do the Borrowers rely on,
any fiduciary duty to the Borrowers or their affiliates on the part of the Credit Parties, (c) the Borrowers are capable of evaluating and understanding, and the Borrowers understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the Borrowers have been advised that the Credit Parties are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from the
Borrowers’ interests and that the Credit Parties have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Borrowers, (e) the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the
extent the Borrowers have deemed appropriate in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (f) each Credit Party has been, is, and will be acting


  
 66 








 
solely as a principal and, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by it and the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the
Borrowers, any of their affiliates or any other Person, (g) none of the Credit Parties has any obligation to the Borrowers or their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
except those obligations expressly set forth herein or therein or in any other express writing executed and delivered by such Credit Party and the Borrowers or any such Affiliate and (h) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other
Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Credit Parties or among the Borrowers and the Credit Parties. For purposes of this Section 11.17, “Credit Party” means each
of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents and the Arrangers. 
 11.18. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan 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 Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority 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 Loan Document; or (iii) 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.

Litigation 
 New York State Department
of Public Service Investigation of the Preparation for and Response to the March 2017 Windstorm 
 On March 11, 2017 the New York State Department
of Public Service (the “Department”) commenced an investigation of NYSEG’s and RG&E’s preparation for and response to a March 2017 windstorm, which affected more than 219,000 NYSEG and RG&E customers. The Department Staff
issued a report of the findings from their investigation on November 16, 2017 (the “Staff Report”). The Staff Report made several recommendations for future storm response and also alleged that NYSEG and RG&E had violated their
own emergency response plan in a number of respects. Also on November 16, 2017, the New York State Public Service Commission (the “Commission”) issued an Order Instituting Proceeding and to Show Cause (the “Order”) requiring
the companies to address whether the Commission should mandate, reject or modify, in whole or in part the recommendations made in the Staff Report. The Order also required the companies to show cause why the NYPSC should not commence an
administrative penalty proceeding. On May 18, 2018, NYSEG and RG&E filed a settlement joint proposal and investment joint proposal before the Commission to settle potential penalties and avoid litigation related to the March 2017 windstorm,
pursuant to which, among other things, NYSEG and RG&E has agreed to make $3.9 million in investments designed to increase resiliency and improve emergency response in the areas impacted by the storm. The investments will not be reflected in
rate base or operating expenses in establishing future delivery rates. The joint proposals are subject to public comment and NYPSC approval. The companies responded to the Order regarding the recommendations in the Staff Report and the Companies and
Department Staff entered into and continue settlement discussions in an effort to avoid an administrative penalty proceeding. The Company cannot predict the final outcome of this matter. 







 Schedule 4.11 

Environmental and Safety Matters 

Waste Sites 
 The Environmental Protection Agency and
various state environmental agencies, as appropriate, have notified us that we are among the potentially responsible parties that may be liable for costs incurred to remediate certain hazardous substances at twenty-five waste sites, which do not
include sites where gas was manufactured in the past. Fifteen of the twenty-five sites are included in the New York State Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites; six sites are included in Maine’s Uncontrolled Sites Program and one
site is included on the Massachusetts Non- Priority Confirmed Disposal Site list. The remaining sites are not included in any registry list. Finally, nine of the twenty-five sites are also included on the
National Priorities list. Any liability may be joint and severable for certain sites. 
 We have recorded an estimated liability of $5 million related
to ten of the twenty-five sites. We have paid remediation costs related to the remaining fourteen sites and do not expect to incur additional liabilities. Additionally, we have recorded an estimated liability of $8 million related to another
ten sites where we believe it is probable that we will incur remediation costs and or monitoring costs, although we have not been notified that we are among the potentially responsible parties or that we are regulated under State Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act programs. It is possible the ultimate cost to remediate these sites may be significantly more than the accrued amount. Our estimate for costs to remediate these sites ranges from $12 million to $21 million as
of March 31, 2018.Factors affecting the estimated remediation amount include the remedial action plan selected, the extent of site contamination, and the portion of remediation attributed to us. 

Manufactured Gas Plants 
 We have a program to investigate
and perform necessary remediation at our fifty-three sites where gas was manufactured in the past (Manufactured Gas Plants, or MGPs). Eight sites are included in the New York State Registry; twelve sites are included in the New York Voluntary
Cleanup Program; three sites are part of Maine’s Voluntary Response Action Program and of those, two sites are a part of Maine’s Uncontrolled Sites Program. The remaining sites are not included in any registry list. We have entered into
consent orders with various environmental agencies to investigate and where necessary remediate forty-nine of the fifty-three sites. 
 Our estimate for all
costs related to investigation and remediation of the fifty-three sites ranges from a minimum of $213 million to $442 million as of March 31, 2018. Our estimate could change materially based on facts and circumstances derived from
site investigations, changes in required remedial actions, changes in technology relating to remedial alternatives, and changes to current laws and regulations. 

Certain Connecticut and Massachusetts regulated gas companies own or have previously owned properties where MGPs had historically operated. MGP operations
have led to contamination of soil and groundwater with petroleum hydrocarbons, benzene and metals, among other things, at these properties, the regulation and cleanup of which is regulated by the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act as
well as other federal and state statutes and regulations. Each 







 
of the companies has or had an ownership interest in one or more such properties contaminated as a result of MGP-related activities. Under the existing
regulations, the cleanup of such sites requires state and at times, federal, regulators’ involvement and approval before cleanup can commence. In certain cases, such contamination has been evaluated, characterized and remediated. In other
cases, the sites have been evaluated and characterized, but not yet remediated. Finally, at some of these sites, the scope of the contamination has not yet been fully characterized; no liability was recorded in respect of these sites as of
March 31, 2018 and no amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated at this time. In the past, the companies have received approval for the recovery of MGP-related remediation expenses from
customers through rates and will seek recovery in rates for ongoing MGP-related remediation expenses for all of their MGP sites. 

As of March 31, 2018, the liability associated with other MGP sites in Connecticut, the remediation costs of which could be significant and will be
subject to a review by the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) as to whether these costs are recoverable in rates, was $99 million. 

The total liability to investigate and perform remediation at the known inactive MGP sites and other sites was $387 million as of March 31, 2018 We
recorded a corresponding regulatory asset, net of insurance recoveries and the amount collected from FirstEnergy, as described below, because we expect to recover the net costs in rates. Our environmental liability accruals are recorded on an
undiscounted basis and are expected to be paid through the year 2054. 
 FirstEnergy—NYSEG 

NYSEG sued FirstEnergy under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act to recover environmental cleanup costs at sixteen former
MGP sites, which are included in the discussion above. In July 2011, the District Court issued a decision and order in NYSEG’s favor. Based on past and future clean-up costs at the sixteen sites in
dispute, FirstEnergy would be required to pay NYSEG approximately $60 million if the decision were upheld on appeal. On September 9, 2011, FirstEnergy paid NYSEG $30 million, representing their share of past costs of $27 million
and pre-judgment interest of $3 million. 
 FirstEnergy appealed the decision to the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals. On September 11, 2014, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision in NYSEG’s favor, but modified the decision for nine sites, reducing NYSEG’s damages for incurred costs from
$27 million to $22 million, excluding interest, and reducing FirstEnergy’s allocable share of future costs at these sites. NYSEG refunded FirstEnergy the excess $5 million in November 2014. 

FirstEnergy remains liable for a substantial share of clean up expenses at nine MPG Energy sites. 

Based on current projections, FirstEnergy’s share is estimated at approximately $22 million. This amount is being treated as a contingent asset and
has not been recorded as either a receivable or a decrease to the environmental provision. Any recovery will be flowed through to NYSEG ratepayers.

 Century Indemnity and OneBeacon—NYSEG 

On August 14, 2013, NYSEG filed suit in federal court against two excess insurers, Century Indemnity and OneBeacon, who provided excess liability coverage
to NYSEG. NYSEG seeks payment for clean-up costs associated with contamination at twenty-two former manufactured gas plants. Based on estimated clean-up costs of $282 million, the carriers’ allocable share is approximately $89 million, excluding pre-judgment interest although this amount may change
substantially depending upon the determination of various factual matters and legal issues during the case. Century and One Beacon have answered admitting issuance of the excess policies, but contesting coverage and providing documentation proving
they received notice of the claims in the 1990s.On March 31, 2017, the District Court granted motions filed by Century Indemnity and One Beacon dismissing all of NYSEG’s claims against both defendants on the grounds of late notice. NYSEG
filed a motion with the District Court on April 14, 2017 seeking reconsideration of the Court’s decision, which was denied by an order dated March 27, 2018. NYSEG filed a notice appealing the District Court’s dismissal on
April 9, 2018. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter. 
 English Station—UI 

In January 2012, Evergreen Power, LLC (Evergreen Power) and Asnat Realty LLC (Asnat), then and current owners of a former generation site on the Mill River in
New Haven (the English Station site) that UI sold to Quinnipiac Energy in 2000, filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Connecticut against UI seeking, among other things: (i) an order directing UI to reimburse the plaintiffs for costs
they have incurred and will incur for the testing, investigation and remediation of hazardous substances at the English Station site and (ii) an order directing UI to investigate and remediate the site. This proceeding had been stayed in 2014
pending resolutions of other proceedings before the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) concerning the English Station site. In December 2016, the court administratively closed the file without prejudice to reopen
upon the filing of a motion to reopen by any party. In December 2013, Evergreen Power and Asnat filed a subsequent lawsuit in Connecticut state court seeking among other things: (i) remediation of the English Station site;
(ii) reimbursement of remediation costs; (iii) termination of UI’s easement rights; (iv) reimbursement for costs associated with securing the property; and (v) punitive damages. This lawsuit had been stayed in May 2014
pending mediation. Due to lack of activity in the case, the court terminated the stay and scheduled a status conference for July 6, 2017. On July 5, 2017, Asnat filed a pretrial memorandum claiming damages of $10 million for
“environmental remediation activities” and lost use of the property. In December 2017 Plaintiffs filed a Request for Leave to Amend Complaint and Motion to Cite-In Additional Parties, including
former UIL officers and employees and other UI officers, which motion was approved in February 2018. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter. On April 8, 2013, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) issued
an administrative order addressed to UI, Evergreen Power, Asnat and others, ordering the parties to take certain actions related to investigating and remediating the English Station site. Mediation of the matter began in the fourth quarter of 2013
and concluded unsuccessfully in April of 2015. This proceeding was stayed while DEEP and UI continue to work through the remediation process pursuant to the consent order described below. Status reports are periodically filed with the DEEP. 

  
 18 








 On August 4, 2016, DEEP issued a partial consent order (the consent order), that, subject to its terms and
conditions, requires UI to investigate and remediate certain environmental conditions within the perimeter of the English Station site. Under the consent order, to the extent that the cost of this investigation and remediation is less than
$30 million, UI will remit to the State of Connecticut the difference between such cost and $30 million to be used for a public purpose as determined in the discretion of the Governor of the State of Connecticut, the Attorney General of
the State of Connecticut, and the Commissioner of DEEP. UI is obligated to comply with the terms of the consent order even if the cost of such compliance exceeds $30 million. Under the terms of the consent order, the State will discuss options
with UI on recovering or funding any cost above $30 million such as through public funding or recovery from third parties; however, it is not bound to agree to or support any means of recovery or funding. UI has initiated its process to
investigate and remediate the environmental conditions within the perimeter of the English Station site pursuant to the consent order. 
 As of
December 31, 2017, we reserved $25 million for this matter. As of March 31, 2018, the reserve amount remained unchanged. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
