requirements of Sections 2.01(c) and (d) (as determined by reference to the Customer Pledged Eligible Assets and Firm Pledged Eligible Assets as to which the Administrative Agent already has a perfected security interest pursuant to the
Security Agreement), by promptly transferring the amounts so received, in like funds, in accordance with the direction in the relevant Borrowing Request. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower if any portion of such amounts is not so
transferred and shall hold such portion pending compliance with the requirements of Sections 2.01(c) and (d) or, if the Borrower so requests, return such portion ratably to the Lenders. Any such portion not returned to the Lenders by [ ] p.m.,
New York City time, shall be deemed to be an outstanding Loan until the next Business Day. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made
its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower, as the case may be, severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (or, if greater, the Fed Funds Effective Rate) or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such
amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower from
time to time during the Availability Period, which shall, as contemplated by the Security Agreement, consist of either a Customer Loan or a Firm Loan (and each such Swingline Loan (or any portion thereof) may be redesignated from time to time in
accordance with, and subject to the limitations contained in Section 6 of the Security Agreement as a Customer Loan or Firm Loan), in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the
aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans of any Swingline Lender exceeding its Swingline Commitment (except to the extent such Swingline Lender otherwise agrees at the time of any such Swingline Loan), (ii) the sum of the total
Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Commitments, (iii) the sum of the total Customer Revolving Credit 

  
 17 









 
Exposures exceeding the aggregate Loan Value of the Customer Pledged Eligible Assets or (iv) the sum of the total Firm Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Loan Value of the
Firm Pledged Eligible Assets; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Swingline Loans shall not be required to be borrowed from the Swingline Lenders on a pro rata basis. 
 (b) To request a Swingline Borrowing, the Borrower shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to
Section 9.01(b))), not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of the proposed Swingline Borrowing, which notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested
Swingline Loan and whether such Swingline Loan will be designated a Customer Loan or a Firm Loan and (ii) in connection with such request, and in any event no later than [one hour] prior to the time by which it expects the proceeds of such
Swingline Borrowing to be made available to it, the Borrower shall also deliver a Pledged Eligible Assets Notice to the Administrative Agent detailing the Eligible Assets, if any, that will be pledged under the Security Agreement in connection with
such Swingline Borrowing, whether such Eligible Assets are designated as Customer Pledged Eligible Assets or Firm Pledged Eligible Assets and the respective Loan Values thereof. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the relevant Swingline
Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower and shall calculate the aggregate Loan Value of the Pledged Eligible Assets, including those referred to in clause (ii), and promptly notify the Borrower and each applicable Swingline Lender if
the requirements of Sections 2.01(c) and (d) are not satisfied. Such Swingline Lender shall make such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower, or less such portion thereof as may be borrowed by the Borrower within the requirements of
Sections 2.01(c) and (d) (as determined by reference to the Pledged Eligible Assets as to which the Administrative Agent already has a perfected security interest pursuant to the Security Agreement), by promptly transferring the amounts so
received, in like funds, by means of a credit by 6:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan to the general deposit account of the Borrower in New York with the Swingline Lender or to an account maintained with the
Administrative Agent or such Swingline Lender and designated by the Borrower in the request for such Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall notify the Borrower if any portion of such amounts is not so transferred and shall hold such portion
pending compliance with the requirements of Sections 2.01(c) and (d) or, if applicable and the Borrower so requests, return such portion ratably to the Swingline Lenders. Any such portion not returned to the Lenders by
[            ] p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed to be an outstanding Swingline Loan until the next Business Day. 

(c) A Swingline Loan shall be a Fed Funds Loan. 
 (d) A Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such
Business Day in all or a portion of its Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice
thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of such Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this
paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in


  
 18 









 
Section 2.04 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders with respect thereto),
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this
paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by any Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower)
in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such
Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not
relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 
 SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections. (a) Each
Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect
different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion
shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the
time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request
shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
  

	 	(i)	the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions
thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 


 

	 	(ii)	the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 


 

	 	(iii)	whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Fed Funds Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 


  
 19 










	 	(iv)	if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

 If any such Interest Election Request requests a
Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing
prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Fed Funds Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding
Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing or a Fed Funds Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing at the
end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and in the case of a Fed Funds Borrowing, on the next Business Day. 

SECTION 2.07. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall
terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.07(c), the Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to
time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the
Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of any Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures hereunder is greater than the Commitments. 

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of
this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.08. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of
Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to the Borrower on the Maturity Date and
(ii) to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender is made that is the 15th or last day of a
calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding for more than three Business
Days. 

  
 20 









 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class
and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made
in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans made to it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by promissory notes. In such event, the Administrative Agent shall prepare
and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee
named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 

SECTION 2.09. Optional Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section. 
 (b)
The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the relevant Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b))) of any
prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Fed Funds Borrowing or
an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid,
which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by
Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type and in the same currency
as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11.

 SECTION 2.10. Daily Calculation of Loan Value; Mandatory Prepayments. (a) At or prior to 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on each Business Day on which any Loans shall remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall calculate (i) the aggregate Loan Value of the Customer 

  
 21 









 
Pledged Eligible Assets and (ii) the aggregate Loan Value of the Firm Pledged Eligible Assets (which calculations shall be made as of the close of business on the previous Business Day) and
shall promptly provide such calculation to the Borrower. In the event that the Administrative Agent determines that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Customer Loans outstanding on such Business Day exceeds the aggregate Loan Value of
the Customer Pledged Eligible Assets (a “Customer Deficiency”) or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Firm Loans outstanding on such Business Day exceeds the aggregate Loan Value of the Firm Pledged Eligible Assets (a
“Firm Deficiency”, and either a Firm Deficiency or a Customer Deficiency, a “Deficiency”), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of such Deficiency in writing (any such notice, a
“Deficiency Notice”). In the event of a Deficiency, unless the Borrower has pledged additional Customer Pledged Eligible Assets or Firm Pledged Eligible Assets, as applicable, with an aggregate Loan Value at least equal to such
Deficiency, the Borrower shall prepay the Customer Loans or the Firm Loans, as applicable, in an amount at least equal to such Deficiency within one Business Day of receipt of a Deficiency Notice. 

(b) Any Pledged Eligible Asset shall be released from the pledge thereof under the Security Agreement promptly upon the request of the
Borrower; provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time and (ii) a Deficiency would not be in existence after giving effect to such release. 

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
commitment fee, which shall accrue at 0.20% of the daily unused amount of the Commitment (excluding the Swingline Exposure) of such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Commitment
terminates. 
 (b) Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December,
commencing September 30, 2011 and on the date on which the Commitments terminate. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the
amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) All fees payable
hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

 SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest
at the Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) The Loans
comprising each Fed Funds Borrowing shall bear interest at the Fed Funds Rate in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) The Loans comprising each Borrowing which has been converted to an ABR Loan pursuant to Section 2.06(e) (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan
or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment,


  
 22 









 
at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this
Section and (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.25% plus the Alternate Base Rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section. 

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the
case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan
(other than a prepayment of a Fed Funds or ABR Revolving Loan), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency
Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the
Prime Rate shall be computed on a basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Fed Funds Rate or
Alternate Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and any such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing: 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Borrowing for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Borrowing for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) as promptly as
practicable thereafter. If such notice is given pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13 in respect of any Eurocurrency Loans, then (i) any Eurocurrency Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest
Period shall be made as Fed Funds Loans, (ii) any Fed Funds Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as Fed Funds Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurocurrency
Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Fed Funds Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the
Borrower have the right to convert Fed Funds Loans to Eurocurrency Loans. 
 SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirement (including any such requirement in the nature of a Eurocurrency Reserve Requirement) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or 

  
 23 









 (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition
affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be
to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency 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 the request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender regarding capital 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 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),
then from time to time the Borrower will pay 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) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case
may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided
further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other
than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure
to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or
(d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each
Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable 

  
 24 









 
amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section
shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. 

SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions for Indemnified Tax and Other Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions for Indemnified Tax and Other Taxes and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
and each Lender, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on
account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that, the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, shall
cooperate with the Borrower for the refund of incorrectly or illegally imposed Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of
a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Any Foreign
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall
deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16,
it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by it under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay 

  
 25 









 
the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event
the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 SECTION 2.17.
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.14 or 2.16,
or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due and in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at the New York Office and except that payments pursuant to
Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof, in each case on a ratable basis. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 

(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of
or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion
received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary 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 Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans; 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 paragraph
shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The 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 the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment
to the 

  
 26 









 
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and if greater, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 (d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.05(d), 2.16(f)
or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.18. Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests, or expects to request, compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to, expects to be required to, pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder with respect thereto to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or
2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise subject such Lender to any regulatory, legal or financial disadvantage. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in
its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender fails to consent to a proposed amendment or waiver which is consented to by the Required Holders but which requires a unanimous approval of all Lenders, then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Swingline Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

SECTION 2.19. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) fees
shall cease to accrue on the unused Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a); 
 (b) the Commitment
and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to


  
 27 









 
Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent
of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby; 
 (c) if any Swingline Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender then (i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of
all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; and (ii) if the reallocation described in clause
(i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, prepay such Swingline Exposure; and 

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, each Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, and
participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to any Person as to which any Lender is, directly or indirectly, a subsidiary shall occur
following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Swingline Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender
commits to extend credit, such Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan unless such Swingline Lender shall have entered into arrangements with the Parent, the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to such Swingline Lender,
to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 
 In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and
the Swingline Lenders each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such
Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans
in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 
 SECTION 2.20. Additional Commitments. The Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date, to agree with any Lender upon an increase in the Commitment of such Lender or to add as a “Lender” with a new Commitment another financial institution or other entity
(each such Lender or other financial institution or entity, an “Additional Commitment Lender,” and each such Commitment, an “Additional Commitment”), provided that the aggregate amount of the Additional
Commitments obtained on or after the Effective Date shall not exceed $125,000,000. Each Additional Commitment may be (a) reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.07 and (b) as to any Additional Lender or assignee thereof,
reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to assignments by or to it pursuant to Section 9.04. Upon any Additional Commitment becoming effective, the Borrower shall borrow such Revolving Loans thereunder and make such prepayments of the
other Revolving Loans as may be required in order to make the outstanding Revolving Loans under such Additional Commitment ratable with the Revolving Loans outstanding under the other Commitments, all in a manner as reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower and the relevant Additional Commitment Lender, it being understood that such determinations may modify and supersede other provisions hereof as to requirements for notice, minimum amounts,
Interest Periods and other similar items, but any required prepayments shall in any event be subject to Section 2.15. The Borrower will provide such additional documents and filings as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to assure
that the Revolving Loans in respect of Additional 

  
 28 









 
Commitments are secured by the Collateral ratably with all other Revolving Loans. Each Additional Commitment Lender shall enter into documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent to evidence and provide for its Additional Commitment. Any Additional Commitment Lender which is not a Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 37

similar institutions. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exceptions listed in clauses (b) through (g) above shall be limited to Liens on
assets other than the Collateral. 
 SECTION 6.04. Fundamental Changes. (a) The Parent will not, and will not
permit any Subsidiary to, merge into or consolidate with any other Person, or permit any other Person to merge into or consolidate with it, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or
substantially all of its assets, or all or substantially all of the stock of any of its Subsidiaries (in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired), or liquidate or dissolve, except that, if at the time thereof and immediately after giving
effect thereto no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (i) any Person (other than the Parent or the Borrower) may merge into the Parent or the Borrower in a transaction in which the Parent or the Borrower, as the case may be, is the
surviving corporation, (ii) any Person (other than the Parent or the Borrower) may merge into any Subsidiary in a transaction in which the surviving entity is a Subsidiary, (iii) any Subsidiary (other than the Borrower) may sell, transfer,
lease or otherwise dispose of its assets to the Parent or the Borrower or to another Subsidiary, (iv) any Subsidiary (other than the Borrower or MF USA) may liquidate or dissolve if the Parent determines in good faith that such liquidation or
dissolution is in the best interests of the Parent and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders and (v) any Subsidiary which is not a Significant Subsidiary may sell, or otherwise dispose of, all or substantially all of its assets.

 (b) The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage to any material extent in any business other
than businesses of the type conducted by the Parent and its Subsidiaries on the date of execution of this Agreement and businesses reasonably related thereto. 
 SECTION 6.05. Transactions with Affiliates. The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, sell, lease or otherwise transfer any material property or material assets to,
or purchase, lease or otherwise acquire any material property or material assets from, or otherwise engage in any other transactions with, any of its Affiliates, except (a) such transaction is upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable in
all material respects to the Parent or the relevant Subsidiary, as applicable, than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate, (b) transactions between or among the Parent and its
wholly owned Subsidiaries not involving any other Affiliate and (c) any transactions listed on Schedule 6.05. 

SECTION 6.06. Regulatory Capital. The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, fail to satisfy
(beyond any applicable grace period, including any period as to which only minor penalties or restrictions are applicable) any regulatory or net capital or financial resources requirement applicable to it in its capacity as a regulated broker or
similar entity or as a parent of any such entity under (a) applicable law or (b) any self-regulatory or similar organization of which it is a member or which regulates the conduct of any material portion of the business of the Parent and
the Subsidiaries taken as a whole (including any such requirement of an exchange on which it conducts a material portion of such business), unless in the case of (b) the maintenance of such membership or the conduct of such business under the
jurisdiction of such self-regulatory or similar organization or on such exchange is not material to its consolidated businesses by virtue of there being other venues or exchanges available to it for the conduct of such businesses on terms not
materially disadvantageous to the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 SECTION 6.07. Minimum Liquidity
Ratio. The Parent will not permit the ratio for any of its Subsidiaries that is a regulated broker dealer or futures commission merchant of (x) its unencumbered marketable securities (after taking into account prudent and customary

deductions as reasonably determined by the Parent) plus its unencumbered cash (other than any such securities or cash representing proceeds of “segregated” or
“non-segregated” customer funds) to (y) its short-term unsecured consolidated Indebtedness (other than any short-term unsecured Indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing margin flows to the extent there is excess availability
for borrowing under the Existing Credit Agreement to refinance such Indebtedness through an advance to or other investment in such Subsidiary and such Borrowing would not then be short-term) at any time to be less than 1.0 to 1.0. 

SECTION 6.08. Pledged Eligible Asset Deficiencies. The Parent will not permit any Deficiency with respect to the aggregate
Loan Value of the Pledged Eligible Assets to exist for more than one Business Day after receipt of a Deficiency Notice from the Administrative Agent.

of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness; 
 (h) an involuntary proceeding shall
be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the Parent or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets (or, in the
case of any such Significant Subsidiary, for all or substantially all of its assets), under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver,

shall not be effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to attach or levy upon any assets of the Parent or any Subsidiary to enforce any such judgment; 

(l) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that

 ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent 
 Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 The bank 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 such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to
disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to
the Administrative Agent by the Parent or the Borrower or a Lender, and 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, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, 

  
 41 









 
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Parent or the 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. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and
powers 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 its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.
The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs 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 credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (except that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no 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, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (except that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) which shall be a bank with an office in
New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 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 action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 pursuant to Section 9.01(b))) set forth in its Administrative
 Questionnaire.


 (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The
Administrative Agent or the 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

 (c) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices
and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties 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.

 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right or power 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 are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Parent, the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of
whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this
Agreement or any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Parent, the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the


  
 44 









 
principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without
the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release any
Collateral (except as provided for in the Loan Documents) or release the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA from their respective obligations under the Guaranty and the Security Agreement, without the written consent of
each Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 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 written consent of each Lender, (vii) amend or modify the definitions of “Eligible Assets” or “Loan Value”, to the extent such
amendment or modification would result in a less restrictive standard than set forth in such definitions, in each case without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders or (viii) amend Schedule 1.01 hereto without the
written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lenders hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lenders, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity;
Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Simpson Thacher &
Bartlett LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of any one counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby. 

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such
Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for
any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Parent 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 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 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. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it
to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the 

  
 45 









 applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; 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. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Parent, the Borrower and MF USA shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of
the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five Business Days after written
demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 paragraph (c) of this Section) 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. 
 (b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender
may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall
be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, it being understood that it would be reasonable for the Borrower to withhold consent
for an assignment to any Person other than a banking institution; and 
 (B) the Administrative Agent,
provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment. 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

  
 46 









 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which fees shall not be payable by the Borrower, except in connection with the
replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.17; 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its
Related Parties or its securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and 

(E) no assignments may be made to any natural persons. 

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: 

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or
investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that
administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of
a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as
an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and
Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this 

  
 47 









 
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or
the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.05(d), 2.16(f) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register
as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or
any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may
at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank,
and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender
may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any
fee or any other 

  
 48 









 
amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII
shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided
in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of
each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile
(or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such
provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08. 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 obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.09. Governing Law;
Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court 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, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action 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. 

  
 49 









 (c) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.
Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY 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 THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 9.11.
Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and their directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority or self-regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the
Parent, the Borrower or MF USA and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
(ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA relating to the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA; provided that, in the case of information received from the Parent, the Borrower or MF USA after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the 

  
 50 









 
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PARENT, THE BORROWER AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT
WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 
 (c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE
SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR ITS SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN
ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW. 

SECTION 9.13. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Parent, the Borrower and MF USA that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

SECTION 9.14. Releases of Guarantees and Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any
other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 9.02) to take any action requested by the Borrower
having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 9.02
or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below. 
 (b) At such time as the Loans and the other
Obligations under the Loan Documents (other than obligations under or in respect of contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, the Collateral shall
be released from the Liens created by the Security Agreement, and the Security Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Loan Documents
(including the Obligations) shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.
