 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

membership interests, by contract, or otherwise.

	  	 Citibank in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder and any successor agent appointed under
Section 9.9.

	2.	 THE CREDIT FACILITY. 


 2.1     The Revolving Credit Facility Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make loans to the Borrower (each such loan, a
“Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding, together with the principal amount of
Term Loans outstanding in favor of such Lender at such time, the amount set forth next to such Lender’s name on Schedule 1 (such amount together with the Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Commitment, as the same may be reduced under
Section 2.10 or as a result of one or more assignments under Section 10.8, the Lender’s “Commitment”); provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the
Effective Amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall not at any time exceed the combined Commitments; and provided further that the Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans, together with all Term Loans outstanding at such time, of
any Lender shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.1, prepay under
Section 3.3 and reborrow under this Section 2.1. 

  
 11 









 2.2     Term Loan Facility. Each Lender severally
agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Loans to the Borrower during the period from the Closing Date to June 8, 2012, in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Commitment. The
Borrower from time to time may borrow under the Term Loan Facility (and may reborrow any amount theretofore prepaid) until close of business on June 8, 2012, for a term not to exceed 364 days from the date of the Borrowing. Each such loan under
the Term Loan Facility (a “Term Loan”) shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 and shall become due and payable on the last day of the term selected by the Borrower for such Term Loan (the “Term Loan Maturity
Date”), which shall in no event be later than 364 days from the date of such Term Loan. The maximum availability under the Term Loan Facility shall be the amount of the Credit minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving
Loans and Term Loans made by the Lenders; provided, however, that to the extent the proceeds of a Term Loan are used to repay an outstanding Revolving Loan (or a portion thereof), such Revolving Loan (or portion thereof) shall not be
considered part of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made by the Lenders for purposes of this sentence (such maximum availability hereafter being referred to as the “Term Loan Availability”). Under no
circumstances shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and Revolving Loans made by the Lenders exceed the Credit, and under no circumstances shall any Lender be obligated (i) to make any Term Loan (nor may the Borrower
reborrow any amount heretofore prepaid) after June 8, 2012, or (ii) to make any Term Loan in excess of the Term Loan Availability. Each Term Loan made hereunder shall fully and finally mature and be due and payable in full on the Term Loan
Maturity Date specified in the Borrowing Advice for such Term Loan; provided, however, that to the extent the Borrowing Advice for any Term Loan selects an Interest Period that expires before the Term Loan Maturity Date specified in
such Borrowing Advice, the Borrower may from time to time select additional interest rate options and Interest Periods (none of which shall extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date for such Term Loan) by delivering a Borrowing Advice or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, as applicable. 
 2.3     Evidence of Borrowing/Promissory
Notes. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes of the Borrower (respectively the “Revolving Note and the Term
Note”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A-2, with the blanks appropriately completed, payable to the order of each Lender in the principal amount of its Commitment, bearing interest as hereinafter specified.
Each Revolving Note and Term Note shall be dated, and shall be delivered to each Lender, on the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Borrower. Each Lender shall, and is hereby authorized by the Borrower to, endorse on the
schedule contained on the Revolving Note and Term Note, or on a continuation of such schedule attached thereto and made a part thereof, appropriate notations regarding the Revolving Loans and Term Loans evidenced by such Note as specifically
provided therein and such Lender’s record shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure to make, or error in making, any such notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the
Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Note and Term Note. The Agent, by notice to the Borrower (to be given not later than two Business Days prior to the initial Borrowing or Term Loan hereunder) may request that Revolving Loans or Term Loans
made hereunder for which the interest calculation is to be based on the Eurodollar Rate be evidenced 

  
 12 









 
by separate Revolving Notes (in the case of Revolving Loans) and Term Notes (in the case of Term Loans), substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (in the case of Revolving Loans) and
Exhibit A-2 hereto (in the case of Term Loans), payable to the order of each Lender for the account of its office, branch or affiliate it may designate as its Lending Office. 

2.4     Making of Revolving Loans and Term Loans, Borrowings; Interest Periods; Notice.

 (a)     Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be made upon
Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a Borrowing Advice (which notice must be received by the Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. San Francisco time for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and prior to 11:00 a.m. San Francisco
time for a Base Rate Loan) (i) the same Business Day as the requested Borrowing Date in the case of Base Rate Loans to be made on such Business Day, or (ii) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date in the case of
Eurodollar Rate Loans, with each Borrowing Advice setting forth the following information: 

(A)     the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, on which such Revolving Loan or
Term Loan is to be made; 
 (B)     for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the duration of the
Interest Period selected in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof (if the Borrowing Advice fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Borrowing comprised of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Interest Period shall be three
months); 
 (C)     the Type of Loans comprising the Borrowing and the interest rate option
selected in accordance with Section 2.7 hereof; and 
 (D)     the aggregate
principal amount of the Revolving Loan or Term Loan (which shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000) to which such Interest Period and interest rate shall apply. 

(b)     The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any Borrowing Advice and of the
amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of that Borrowing. 
 (c)     Each Lender will
make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing available to the Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Agent’s Payment Office by 1:00 p.m. San Francisco time on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately
available to the Agent. Each Loan to the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made by 1:30 p.m. (San Francisco time) on the date of the Requested Borrowing Date, and shall be in immediately available funds (in the aggregate amount made available
to the Agent by the Lenders) wired to the Borrower’s account at Citibank, N.A. or such other account as may be designated by the Borrower in writing. 
 (d)     After giving effect to any Borrowing, there may not be more than ten (10) different Interest Periods in effect. 

  
 13 









 With respect to any Borrowing having an Interest Period ending on or before June 8,
2012, if prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Borrowing the Borrower fails timely to provide a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 2.5, such Borrowing shall, on the last day of the then-existing
Interest Period for such Borrowing, automatically convert into a Base Rate Loan. In the event of any such automatic conversion, the Borrower on the date of such conversion shall be deemed to make a representation and warranty to the Lenders that, to
the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, (i) neither the Borrower nor any Bank Subsidiary is in violation of the capital requirements as described in Section 6.6, (ii) the Broker Subsidiary is not in violation of minimum net
capital requirements as described in Section 7.1, (ii) the Borrower’s Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity is not below the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity as described in Section 7.2, and (iv) no amount
owing with respect to any Commitment Fee, any outstanding Borrowing, or any interest thereon, or any other amount hereunder, is due and unpaid. If prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to any Term Loan the Borrower fails timely to
provide a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 2.5, such Term Loan shall, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period for such Term Loan, automatically convert into a Base Rate Loan. 

2.5     Conversion and Continuation Elections. 

(a)     The Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Agent in accordance with this
Section 2.5: 
 (i)     elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate
Loans, or as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of any other Type of Loan, to convert any such Loan (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $10,000,000), into Loans of any other Type; or 

(ii)     elect as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Loans having
Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $10,000,000); 
 provided, that if
at any time the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $10,000,000, such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Base
Rate Loans. 
 (b)     The Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to be
received by the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. San Francisco time for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and not later than 11:00 a.m. San Francisco time for a Base Rate Loan, at least (i) three Business Days in advance of the
Conversion/Continuation Date, as to any Loan that is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan; and (ii) the same Business Day as the Conversion/Continuation Date, as to any Loan that is to be converted into a Base Rate Loan,
specifying: 
 (A)     the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date; 

  
 14 









 (B)     the aggregate amount of the Loan or Loans to be
converted or renewed; 
 (C)     the Type of Loan or Loans resulting from the proposed
conversion or continuation; and 
 (D)     other than in the case of conversions into Base
Rate Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period. 
 (c)     If upon the
expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans, or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period. 
 (d)     The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by the Borrower, the Agent will promptly
notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given as held by each
Lender. 
 (e)     Unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, during the existence of a
Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may not elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan. 
 (f)     After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans, there may not be more than ten (10) different Interest Periods in effect. 

2.6     Interest Periods.   The Borrower may select for any Eurodollar Rate Loan the
Interest Period (as defined in the next sentence) for each Borrowing, it being understood that the Borrower may request multiple Borrowings on the same day and may select a different Interest Period for each such Borrowing. An Interest Period shall
be each period, as selected by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, beginning on the Borrowing Date of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on the Conversion/Continuation Date on which any Loan is converted into or continued as a
Eurodollar Rate Loan, and ending on the date specified by the Borrower that is one, two, three or six months thereafter; provided that whenever the first day of any Interest Period occurs on a day of an initial calendar month for which there
is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that succeeds such initial calendar month by the number of months equal to the number of months in such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such
succeeding calendar month; and provided further that if the last day of an Interest Period would be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless such next
succeeding Business Day is in a different calendar month, in which case such interest period shall end on the next preceding Business Day; but provided, however, that (i) no Interest Period applicable to any Revolving Loan shall
extend beyond the Revolving Termination Date; and (ii) no Interest Period 

  
 15 









 
applicable to any Term Loan shall extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date specified in the Borrowing Advice for such Term Loan, which in no event shall be later than June 7, 2013.

 2.7     Interest Rates. 

(a)     (i)   Each Revolving Loan, while outstanding, shall bear interest from the
applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be, (and subject to the Borrower’s right to convert to other Types of Loans under Section 2.5) plus the Applicable Margin.

 (ii)   Each Term Loan, while outstanding, shall bear interest from the applicable Borrowing Date
at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be, (and subject to the Borrower’s right to convert to other Types of Loans under Section 2.5) plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b)     Interest on each Revolving Loan and Term Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of Loans under Section 3.3 for the portion of the Loan so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof, and, during the existence of any Event of
Default interest shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders. 
 (c)     After the principal amount of any Revolving Loan or Term Loan, accrued interest upon such Loan, the commitment fee, or any other amount hereunder shall have become due and
payable by acceleration, or otherwise, it shall thereafter (until paid) bear interest, payable on demand, (i) until the end of the Interest Period with respect to such Loan at a rate per annum equal to 2% per annum in excess of the rate or
rates in effect with respect to such Loan, and (ii) thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate. 
 2.8     Substitute Rates.   If upon receipt by the Agent of a Borrowing Advice relating to any Borrowing or of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation: 

(a)     the Agent shall determine that by reason of changes affecting the London interbank market,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurodollar Rate with respect to any Interest Period; or 
 (b)     the Agent shall determine that by reason of any change since the date hereof in any applicable law or governmental regulation (other than any such change in the regulations
described in the definition of Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage in Section 1 hereof), guideline or order (or any interpretation thereof), the adoption or enactment of any new law or governmental regulation or order or any other
circumstance affecting the Lenders or the London interbank market, the Eurodollar Rate shall no longer represent the effective cost to the Lenders of U.S. dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant period; or 

(c)     Agent shall determine that, as a result of any change since the date hereof in any
applicable law or governmental regulation or as a result of the adoption of any new applicable law or governmental regulation, the applicable Eurodollar Rate would be unlawful; 

  
 16 









 then, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender, whereupon, the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it and, at its election, submit a Borrowing Advice or Notice of Conversion/Continuation selecting another Type of Loan. If the Borrower does not revoke such Notice or give a
Notice as provided herein, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base
Rate Loans instead of Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 2.9    Fees. 

(a)     Arrangement, Agency Fees.   The Borrower shall pay an arrangement fee to
the Arrangers for their respective accounts, and shall pay an agency fee to the Agent for the Agent’s account, as required by the separate letter agreements (“Fee Letters”) between the Borrower and each of the Arrangers and
between the Borrower and the Agent, each dated May 12, 2011. 
 (b)     Commitment
Fee.   The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on the actual daily unused portion of such Lender’s Commitment computed on a quarterly basis in
arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter based upon the daily utilization for that quarter as calculated by the Agent, equal to seventy-five one thousandths of one percent (0.075%) per annum. For purposes of calculating utilization under
this subsection, the Commitments shall be deemed used to the extent of the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans and Term Loans then outstanding. Such Commitment Fee shall accrue from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date and shall be due
and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter commencing on the quarter ending June 30, 2011 through the Revolving Termination Date, with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Termination Date;
provided that, in connection with any reduction or termination of Commitments under Section 2.10, the accrued commitment fee calculated for the period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such reduction or
termination, with the following quarterly payment being calculated on the basis of the period from such reduction or termination date to such quarterly payment date. 

(c)     Term Loan Fee.   The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of
each Lender a term loan fee (the “Term Out Fee”) equal to one percent (1.00%) of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on June 8, 2012, payable on such date. 

2.10     Reduction of Credit.   The Borrower, from time to time, upon at least three
(3) Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, may terminate the commitments, or permanently reduce the Commitments by an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000, without penalty or premium; unless after giving effect thereto and to any
prepayments of Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans and Term Loans together would exceed the amount of the combined Commitments then in effect. Once reduced in accordance with this Section, the
Commitments may not be increased. Any reduction of the 

  
 17 









 
Commitments shall be applied to each Lender’s Commitment according to its Pro Rata Share. All accrued Commitment Fees to, but not including, the effective date of any reduction or
termination of Commitments, shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination. During the continuation of the Credit, the computation of the Commitment Fee and the Lenders’ obligations to make Revolving Loans or Term Loans
shall be based upon such reduced Commitments. In the event the Credit shall be reduced to zero pursuant to this Section, the Credit shall be deemed terminated, and any Commitment Fee or any other amount payable hereunder then accrued shall become
immediately payable. Such termination of the Credit shall terminate the Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Commitment Fee to the extent not theretofore accrued and shall terminate the Lenders’ obligations to make any further
Revolving Loans or Term Loans under this Agreement. 
 2.11     Termination Date;
Extensions.   The termination date of each Lender’s Commitment with respect to the Credit (the “Termination Date”), including both the Revolving Credit Facility under Section 2.1 hereof and the Term
Loan Facility under Section 2.2 hereof, is initially June 8, 2012. At any time no earlier than forty-five (45) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date then in effect (whether the initial
Termination Date of June 8, 2012 or any later Termination Date as extended under this Section 2.11), the Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto, request that the Termination Date be
extended for a period of 364 calendar days. Such request shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower. In no event will any Lender agree to approve any extension more than thirty (30) days before the Termination Date then in effect.
Failure of any Lender to respond shall mean that such Lender has not approved such extension. If each Lender (in its sole discretion) agrees to so extend its Commitment and the Termination Date (which agreement may be given or withheld in such
Lender’s sole and absolute discretion), the Agent shall evidence such agreement by executing and returning to the Borrower a copy of the Borrower’s written request no later than fifteen (15) days after the Agent’s receipt of the
Borrower’s written request. If the Agent fails to so respond to and accept the Borrower’s request for extension of the Termination Date then in effect, the Lenders’ Commitments shall be terminated on the Termination Date then in
effect. If, on the other hand, the Agent so responds to and accepts the Borrower’s request for extension of the Termination Date, then upon receipt by the Borrower of a copy of the Borrower’s written request countersigned by the Agent,
(i) the Lenders’ Commitments then in effect and the Termination Date then in effect shall automatically be extended for the 364-day period specified in such written request, and (ii) each reference in this Agreement to “June 8,
2012”, and “June 7, 2013” (and any prior extension thereof pursuant to this Section 2.11) also shall automatically be correspondingly extended for 364 days. 

2.12     Payments by the Lenders to the Agent. 

(a)     Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or, with
respect to any Borrowing after the Closing Date, at least one Business Day before the date of such Borrowing in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or, in the case of a Base Rate Loan, prior to noon (12:00) San Francisco time on the date of
such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent for the account of the Company the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such
amount available to the Agent in immediately available 

  
 18 









 
funds on the Borrowing Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the
extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent in such circumstances has made a corresponding amount available to the Borrower such Lender shall on the Business Day following
such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period. A notice of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection
(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made
available to the Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing Date, the Agent will notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s account, together
with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. 

(b)     The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other
Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Borrowing Date. 

2.13     Sharing of Payments, Etc..   If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere
herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share, such Lender shall immediately
(a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid
therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing
Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.5) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
The Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participation purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchase or repayment. 

2.14     Computation of Fees and Interest. 

(a)     All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by
Citibank N.A.’s “Base Rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest, and all 

  
 19 









 
computation of fees under subsection 2.9(b) and (c) shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and such fees shall accrue during each
period during which interest or such fees are computed from and including the first day thereof to and excluding the last day thereof. 
 (b)     If any Reference Lender’s Commitment shall terminate (otherwise than on termination of all the Commitments), or for any reason whatsoever such Reference Lender shall cease
to be a Lender hereunder, such Reference Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Reference Lender, and the determination of the Eurodollar Base Rate under subsection (c) of the definition of such term shall be determined on the basis of the
rates as notified by the remaining Reference Lenders. 
  

	3.	 PAYMENT. 


 3.1     Repayment. 

(a)     The Term Credit.   The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the account of
the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on each Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable. 
 (b)     The Revolving Credit.   The Borrower shall repay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the Revolving Termination Date the aggregate principal amount
of Revolving Loans outstanding on such date. 
 3.2     Method of
Payment.   All payments hereunder and under the Revolving Note and the Term Note shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the
date when due at the principal office of the Agent or at such other place as the Agent may, from time to time, designate in writing to the Borrower. 
 3.3     Optional Prepayment.   Subject to Section 3.7, the Borrower shall be entitled at any time or from time to time, upon not less than one
(1) Business Day irrevocable notice to the Agent, to ratably prepay Loans in whole or in part in minimum amounts of $10,000,000 without premium or penalty. Each notice of payment shall specify the date and aggregate principal amount of any such
prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be repaid. The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any such Notice and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such Notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall
make such prepayment and the payment amount, specified in such Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with all accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid, and any amounts required in accordance with
Section 3.7 hereof as a result of such prepayment. 
 3.4     Taxes/Net
Payments.   All payments by Borrower hereunder and under the Revolving Note and the Term Note to the Agent or any Lender shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such
payments, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any Governmental Authority or taxing


  
 20 









 
authority thereof (collectively, “Taxes”), shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement. The Borrower shall pay all Taxes when due and
shall promptly send to the Lender original tax receipts or copies thereof certified by the relevant taxing authority together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be required from time to time by the Agent. If
the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities when due or fails to remit to the Agent or Lender any such original tax receipts or certified copies thereof as aforesaid or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower
shall indemnify the Agent or Lender within thirty (30) days of demand by the Lender or Agent for any taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or Lender as a result of such failure. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any tax on or measured by the
net income of any Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction where an office of such Lender making any loan hereunder is located or does business, and (ii) the foregoing obligation to gross up the payments to any Lender so as not to deduct
or offset any withholding taxes or Taxes paid or payable by the Borrower with respect to any payments to such Lender shall not apply (x) to any payment to any Lender which is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the
meaning of the Code if such Lender is not, on the date hereof (or on the date it becomes a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to the assignment terms of this Agreement), or on any date hereafter that it is a Lender under this Agreement, entitled
to submit either a Form W-8BEN or any successor form thereto (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI or any successor
form thereto (relating to all interest to be received by such Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans) of the U.S. Department of Treasury, or (y) to any item referred to in the preceding sentence that would not have been imposed but for the
failure by such Lender to comply with any applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections of such Lender with the United States if such compliance is
required by statute or regulation of the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from such item. 

3.5     Illegality. 

(a)     If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in
any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending
Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. 
 (b)     If a Lender
determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrower shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such Eurodollar Rate Loans of that Lender then
outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 3.7, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the Lender may lawfully 

  
 21 









 
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If the Borrower is required to so
prepay any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrower shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan. 

(c)     If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans has been so
terminated or suspended, the Borrower may elect, by giving notice to the Lender through the Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by the Lender as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans. 

(d)     Before giving any notice to the Agent under this Section, the affected Lender shall
designate a different Lending Office with respect to its Eurodollar Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous
to the Lender. 
 3.6     Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 

(a)     If any Lender determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change
(other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of the Eurodollar Rate) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate
Loan, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such
Lender for such increased costs. 
 (b)     If any Lender shall have determined that
(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other
Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect
the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender and determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment, Loans, credits or obligations under
this Agreement then, upon demand of such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for the cost of such
increase. 
 3.7     Funding Losses. The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and
hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: 

  
 22 









 (a)     the failure of the Borrower to make on a timely
basis any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan; 
 (b)     the failure of the
Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation; 

(c)     the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice delivered
under Section 3.3; 
 (d)     the prepayment or other payment (including after
acceleration thereof) of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; or 
 (e)     the automatic conversion under Section 2.5 of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period,

 including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its
Eurodollar Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section and under subsection 3.6(a), each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by a Lender and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBO-based rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by a
matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan is in fact so funded,. 

3.8     Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this
Section 3 shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence
of manifest error. 
 3.9     Substitution of Lenders. Upon the receipt by the
Borrower from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) of a claim for compensation under Section 3.6, the Borrower may: (i) request the Affected Lender to use its best efforts to obtain a replacement bank or financial
institution satisfactory to the Borrower to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of all of such Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitment (a “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request one or more of the other Lenders to acquire
and assume all or part of such Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitment (but no other Lender shall be required to do so); or (iii) designate a Replacement Lender. Any such designation of a Replacement Lender under clause (ii) or
(iii) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 
 3.10     Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in this Section 3 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

voting stock of any Subsidiary without making effective provision whereby the Revolving Notes and the Term Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with such secured Indebtedness so long as other Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided,
however, that the foregoing covenant shall not be applicable to Permitted Liens (as defined in Section 7.6 below). 
 7.6     Liens and Encumbrances. The Borrower will not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of its properties, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, except the following (the “Permitted Liens”): 
 (a)
    liens securing taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies, or in connection with workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance or social security obligations, or the claims or demands of materialmen, mechanics,
carriers, warehousemen, landlords and other like persons not yet delinquent or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings with respect to which adequate reserves or other provisions are being maintained to the extent required
by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; 
 (b)     liens not for borrowed money
incidental to the conduct of its business or the ownership of property that do not materially detract from the value of any item of property; 
 (c)     attachment, judgment or other similar liens arising in the connection with court proceedings that do not, in the aggregate, materially detract from the value of its property,
materially impair the use thereof in the operation of its businesses and (i) that are discharged or stayed within sixty (60) days of attachment or levy, or (ii) payment of which is


  
 30 









 
covered in full (subject to customary and reasonable deductibles) by insurance or surety bonds; and 
 (d)     liens existing at Closing Date provided that the obligations secured thereby are not increased. 

 

	8.	 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. 


 8.1     Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”: 

(a)     The Borrower shall fail to pay any interest with respect to the Revolving Notes or the Term
Notes or any Commitment Fee or Term Out Fee in accordance with the terms hereof within 10 days after such payment is due. 
 (b)     The Borrower shall fail to pay any principal with respect to the Revolving Notes or the Term Notes in accordance with the terms thereof on the date when due. 

(c)     Any representation or warranty made by the Borrower herein or hereunder or in any
certificate or other document furnished by the Borrower hereunder shall prove to have been incorrect when made (or deemed made) in any respect that is materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders or their rights and remedies hereunder.

 (d)     Except as specified in (a) and (b) above, the Borrower shall default
in the performance of, or breach, any covenant of the Borrower with respect to this Agreement, and such default or breach shall continue for a period of thirty days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Borrower by the
Agent a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied. 

(e)     An event of default as defined in any mortgage, indenture, agreement or instrument under
which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any Indebtedness of the Borrower in a principal amount not less than $75,000,000, shall have occurred and shall result in such Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and
payable prior to the date on which it otherwise would become due and payable, or an event of default or a termination event as defined in any Hedge Agreement shall have occurred and shall result in a net payment obligation of the Borrower thereunder
of not less than $75,000,000; provided, however, that if such event of default shall be remedied or cured by the Borrower, or waived by the holders of such Indebtedness, within twenty days after the Borrower has received written notice
of such event of default and acceleration, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have thereupon been remedied, cured or waived without further action upon the part of either the Borrower or the Agent and
Lenders. 
 (f)     Any involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary
petition shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking (i) relief against the Borrower or the Broker Subsidiary, or against all or a substantial part of the property of either of them, under Title 11 of the United States Code or
any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, 

  
 31 









 
insolvency, reorganization or similar law, (ii) the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official for the Borrower or the Broker
Subsidiary or for all or a substantial part of the property of either of them, or (iii) the winding-up or liquidation of the Borrower or the Broker Subsidiary; and, in any such case, such involuntary proceeding or involuntary petition shall
continue undismissed for 60 days, or, before such 60-day period has elapsed, there shall be entered an order or decree ordering the relief requested in such involuntary proceeding or involuntary petition. 

(g)     The Borrower or the Broker Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Borrower or Broker Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its respective properties, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall
fail generally to pay its respective debts as they become due or shall take any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing. 
 (h)     A final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of $75,000,000 in the aggregate shall be entered against the Borrower by a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction, and the same shall not be discharged (or provisions shall not be made for such discharge), or a stay of execution thereof shall not be procured, within 30 days from the date of entry thereof and the Borrower shall not, within said
period of 30 days, or such longer period during which execution of the same shall have been stayed, appeal therefrom and cause the execution thereof to be stayed during such appeal. 

(i)     At any time after a Change in Control, the Borrower fails to maintain at least one of the
following credit ratings for its Senior Medium-Term Notes, Series A: (a) BBB- (or better) by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service, a Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., or (b) Baa3 (or better) by Moody’s Investors
Service, Inc. 
 8.2     Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
then and in every such case the Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders (i) declare the Commitment of each Lender to make Loans to be terminated whereupon such Commitments and obligation shall be
terminated, and declare the unpaid principal of all outstanding Loans, any and all accrued and unpaid interest, any accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees, or any other amounts owing or payable under the Notes, to be immediately due and payable, by a
notice in writing to the Borrower, and upon such declaration such principal, interest, Commitment Fees, or other amounts payable hereunder and accrued thereon shall become immediately due and payable, together with any funding losses that may result
as a consequence of such declaration, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in
subsection (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, automatically without any notice to the Borrower or any other act by the Agent, the Credit and the obligations of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate and
the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, any accrued and unpaid interest, any accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees or any other amounts payable hereunder shall become immediately due and payable,


  
 32 









 
together with any funding losses that may result as a consequence thereof, without further act of the Agent or any Lender and without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all
of which are expressly waived by the Borrower. 
  

	9.	 THE AGENT. 


 9.1     Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 9.9) appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth, nor
shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise
exist against the Agent. 
 9.2     Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any
of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care. 

9.3     Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible
in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in
any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any
Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 
 9.4     Reliance by Agent. 

(a)     The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person or Persons, and upon 

  
 33 









 
advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 

(b)     For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in
Section 4.1, each Lender that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by Agent to such Lender for consent, approval,
acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lender. 
 9.5     Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the
payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event
of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by
the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 
 9.6     Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Agent hereinafter
taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently
and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the
Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall


  
 34 









 
not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. 

9.7     Indemnification of Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from any such Person’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share, of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations
hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 
 9.8     Agent in Individual
Capacity. Citibank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other
business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Citibank were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Citibank or its Affiliates may
receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to
provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Citibank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent. 

9.9     Successor Agent. The Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall,
resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrower. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders which successor agent shall be approved by the Borrower. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent with the consent of the Borrower, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring
Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted


  
 35 









 
to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of
resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as
provided for above. The retiring Agent shall refund to Borrower that portion of any agency fee paid to such Agent as is not earned due to such Agent’s resignation, prorated to the date of such Agent’s resignation. 

9.10     Withholding Tax. 

(a)     If any Lender is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning
of the Code and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Lender agrees with and in favor of the Agent, to deliver to the Agent: 

(i)     if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United
States tax treaty, properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN before the payment of any interest in the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in any subsequent calendar year during which the Form W-8BEN (or any successor thereto) then
in effect expires; 
 (ii)     if such Lender claims that interest paid under this
Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor form thereto before the payment of
any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender and before the payment of any interest in any subsequent calendar year during which the Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) then in effect expires; and 

(iii)     such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of the United
States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax. 
 Such Lender agrees to promptly
notify the Agent of any change in circumstances which would render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 

(b)     If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States
tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Company to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify the Agent of the percentage amount
in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of the Company to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Agent will treat such Lender’s IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor form thereto as no longer valid.

 (c)     If any Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing
IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor form thereto with the Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Company to 

  
 36 









 
such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code. 

(d)     If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Agent may
withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section are not
delivered to the Agent or if any Lender which is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code is not entitled to claim exemption from or a reduction of U.S. withholding tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of
the Code, then the Agent shall withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. 

(e)     If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction
asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a
change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason other than the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all
amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and
expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 

9.11     Co-Agents. None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of
this Agreement as a “co-agent”, “managing agent”, “syndication agent” or “documentation agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those
applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified as a “co-agent”, “syndication agent” or “documentation agent” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 

 

	10.	 MISCELLANEOUS. 


 10.1     Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by the
Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower and acknowledged by the
Agent, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed
by all the Lenders and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Agent, do any of the following: 

  
 37 









 (a)     increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender
(or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 8.2); 
 (b)    
postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document; 

(c)     reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on any Loan, or (subject
to clause (ii) below) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document; 
 (d)     change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans which is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder;
or 
 (e)     amend this Section, or Section 2.13, or any provision herein
providing for consent or other action by all Lenders; 
 and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver
or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Required Lenders or all the Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) the
respective Fee Letters may be amended or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto. 
 10.2    Notices. 

(a)     All notices, requests and other communications shall be either (i) in writing
(including, unless the context expressly otherwise provides, by facsimile transmission, provided that any matter transmitted by the Borrower by facsimile shall be immediately confirmed by a telephone call to the recipient at the number
specified on Schedule 10.2) or (ii) as and to the extent set forth in clause (d) below, by electronic mail. 
 (b)     All such notices, requests and communications shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, faxed or e-mailed, be effective when delivered for overnight (next-day) delivery,
transmitted in legible form by facsimile machine (provided that the sender has retained its facsimile machine-generated confirmation of the receipt of such fax by the recipient’s facsimile machine) or transmitted by e-mail (provided that the
e-mail was sent to the e-mail address provided by the recipient and that the e-mail was not returned to the sender as undeliverable), respectively, or if mailed, upon the third Business Day after the date deposited into the U.S. mail, or if
delivered, upon delivery; except that notices pursuant to Section 2 or 9 shall not be effective until actually received by the Agent. 
 (c)     The agreement of the Agent and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by telephone, facsimile or e-mail is solely for the convenience of the Borrower, the Agent and the
Lenders. The Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person who is named in the then-current certificate delivered 

  
 38 









 
pursuant to subsection 4.1(e) hereof as authorized to execute Borrowing Advices (each an “Authorized Person”) and the Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrower
or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Agent or the Lenders in reliance upon such telephonic, facsimile or e-mail notice, provided the Agent and the Lenders reasonably believe such Person to be an Authorized Person. The
obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans shall not be affected in any way to any extent by any failure by the Agent and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic, facsimile or e-mail notice or the receipt by the Agent and
the Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Agent and the Lenders to be contained in the telephonic, facsimile or e-mail notice. 

(d)     The compliance certificate described in Section 6.2 shall be delivered to the
Agent by the Borrower by mail or overnight delivery. Except for the compliance certificate described in Section 6.2, materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.2 shall be delivered to the Agent in an electronic
medium format reasonably acceptable to the Agent by e-mail at oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com. The Borrower agrees that the Agent may make such materials (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such materials
on Debt Domain or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (collectively, the “Platform”). In addition, to the extent the Borrower in its sole discretion so elects and confirms in writing or by e-mail to the Agent, any
other written information, documents, instruments or other material relating to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and supplied
by the Borrower to the Agent (other than any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Borrowing (including any election of an interest rate or Interest Period relating thereto),
(ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due hereunder prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition
precedent set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2), shall, to the extent of such election and confirmation by the Borrower, constitute materials that are “Communications” for purposes of this subparagraph (d). The
Borrower and each of the Lenders acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the
Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims
liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform (provided, as to such disclaimer, that the Agent and its Affiliates have not been grossly negligent or engaged in any willful misconduct in respect of the Platform). No warranty
of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent
or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform. 
 (e)     Each Lender agrees
that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such
Lender for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the
date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an 

  
 39 









 
effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 

(f)     The Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of all materials delivered by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 6.2. 
 10.3    No Waiver-Cumulative
Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. 
 10.4    Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall: 
 (a)     whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, pay or reimburse Citibank including in its capacity as Agent and Lender within five Business Days after
demand, subject to subsection 4.1(g) for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Citibank including in its capacity as Agent and Lender in connection with the development, preparation, delivery, administration and execution of, and any
amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to (in each case, whether or not consummated), this Agreement, any Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including reasonable Attorney Costs incurred by Citibank (including in its capacity as Agent and Lender with respect thereto); and 

(b)     pay or reimburse the Agent, the Arranger and each Lender within five Business Days after
demand (subject to subsection 4.1(g)) for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs) incurred by them in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document during the existence of an Event of Default or after acceleration of the Loans (including in connection with any “workout” or restructuring regarding the Loans, and including in any Insolvency
Proceeding or appellate proceeding). In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action relating to the enforcement, preservation or exercise of any rights or remedies covered by this Section 10.4 against the Borrower, all
Lenders shall be represented by the same legal counsel selected by such Lenders; provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Lenders would or could result in a conflict of interest under laws or
ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a claim is available to a Lender that is not available to all such Lenders, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit an unqualified
assertion of such a claim, each Lender shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Lender, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Lenders.

 10.5    Borrower Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Agent-Related Persons, and each Lender and each of its respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact


  
 40 









 
(each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses
and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Agent or replacement of any Lender) be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any
such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the
Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation
hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnified
Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s obligations under this Section unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower’s right to
participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided. If requested by Borrower in writing, such Indemnified Person shall in good faith contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim,
demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrower to participate in such contest. Any Indemnified Person that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder
shall give Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower’s prior consent. In connection with any claim,
demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 10.5 against more than one Indemnified Person, all such Indemnified Persons shall be represented by the same legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Persons and reasonably
acceptable to Borrower; provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnified Persons would or could result in a conflict of interest under laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal
counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnified Person that is not available to all such Indemnified Persons, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of
such a defense or counterclaim, each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to Borrower, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to
avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnified Persons. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations. 
 10.6     Payments Set Aside. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment to the Agent or the Lenders, or the Agent or the Lenders exercise any right of set-off, and such
payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or 

  
 41 









 
such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its pro rata share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent. 

10.7     Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and each
Lender. 
 10.8    Assignments, Participations Etc. 

(a)     Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent and the Borrower, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld (except Borrower’s consent shall not be required if a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing), at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no written
consent of the Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Eligible Assignee that is an Affiliate of such Lender) (each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the
Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $10,000,000; provided, however, that the Borrower and, the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (A) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Agent by
such Lender and the Assignee; (B) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit F (“Assignment and Acceptance”) together with any Note
or Notes subject to such assignment; and (C) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500. 
 (b)     From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Lender and the Borrower that it has received (and the Borrower and the Agent have provided their consent with
respect to) an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been
assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 (c)     Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice by the Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee (and
provided that it consents to such assignment in accordance with subsection 10.8(a)), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent, new Notes evidencing such Assignee’s assigned Loans and Commitment and, if the assignor
Lender has retained a portion of its Loans and its Commitment, replacement Notes in the principal amount of the Commitment retained by the assignor Lender (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Notes held by such Lender).
Immediately upon each Assignee’s making its processing fee payment under the Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but 

  
 42 









 
only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce
such Commitments of the assignor Lender pro tanto. 
 (d)     Any Lender may
at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the
“originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating
Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any Lender that sells a participation to any Person that is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code shall include in its participation agreement with such
Person a covenant by such Person that such Person will comply with the provisions of Section 9.10 as if such Person were a Lender and provide that the Agent and the Borrower shall be third party beneficiaries of such covenant.

 (e)     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any
time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and the Note held by it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation
31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. 
 (f)     Any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may, with notice to the Agent, grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) the option to fund all
or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement. The funding of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and
as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the
Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or anywhere else in this Agreement, (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan,
(ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iii) the Borrower and Agent shall
continue to deal exclusively with the Granting Lender and any funding by an SPC hereunder shall not constitute an assignment, assumption or participation of any rights or obligations of the Granting Lender. Any SPC may disclose on a confidential
basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC, provided, as a condition precedent to such disclosure, (A) such agency,
dealer or provider has delivered to such Granting 

  
 43 









 
Lender for the benefit of Borrower a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to Section 10.9, and (B) simultaneous with or prior to such disclosure, such Granting
Lender has given written notice to Borrower of the agency, dealer or provider to which such disclosure is being made and the contents of such disclosure. This Section may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all
or any part of whose Loan is being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment. 

10.9    Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information that it may
receive from Borrower or from the Agent on such Borrower’s behalf, pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower or any Lender; (b) to other professional advisors to
Borrower or any Lender, provided that the recipient has delivered to such Lender a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 10.9; (c) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over any Lender;
(d) as required by applicable law or legal process or in connection with any legal proceeding in which any Lender and Borrower are adverse parties; (e) to Affiliates or agents of such Lender to the extent the Affiliate or agent is involved
in the administration of the credit facilities extended to Borrower and its Subsidiaries hereunder, provided that any such Affiliate or agent has delivered to such Lender a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this
Section 10.9 and (f) to another financial institution in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part of any Lender’s interests hereunder or a participation interest in the
Revolving Note and/or the Term Note, each in accordance with Section 10.8 hereof, provided that the recipient has delivered to such Lender a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 10.9. Each
Lender further agrees that it will not use such confidential information in any activity or for any purpose other than the administration of credit facilities extended to Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, without limitation, will take such steps as
are reasonably appropriate to preclude access to any such confidential information to be obtained by any Person employed by any Lender, or by an affiliate of any Lender, who is not involved in the administration of credit facilities extended to
Borrower and its Subsidiaries. For purposes of the foregoing, “confidential information” shall mean any information respecting Borrower or its Subsidiaries reasonably specified by Borrower as confidential, other than (i) information
filed with any governmental agency and available to the public, and (ii) information disclosed by Borrower to any Person not associated with Borrower without a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this
Section 10.9. Certain of the confidential information pursuant to this Agreement is or may be valuable proprietary information that constitutes a trade secret of Borrower or its Subsidiaries; neither the provision of such confidential
information to any Lender or the limited disclosures thereof permitted by this Section 10.9 shall affect the status of any such confidential information as a trade secret of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Each Lender, and each other
Person who agrees to be bound by this Section 10.9, acknowledges that any breach of the agreements contained in this Section 10.9 would result in losses that could not be reasonably or adequately compensated by money damages.
Accordingly, if any Lender or any other person breaches its obligations hereunder, such Lender or such other Person recognizes and consents to the right of Borrower, Intermediate Parent, and/or Broker Subsidiary to seek injunctive relief to compel
such Lender or other Person to abide by the terms of this Section 10.9. 

10.10    Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc. Each Lender shall notify the Agent
in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to the Lender should be directed, 

  
 44 









 
of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the Agent shall reasonably
request. 
 10.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument. 

10.12    Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder. 

10.13    No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole
protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and the Arranger, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action
or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 

10.14    Governing Law and Jurisdiction. 

(a)     THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA; PROVIDED THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW. 
 (b)     ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE
BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. 

10.15    Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a)     TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH WAIVE
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN


  
 45 









 
ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT
CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE
PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 

(b)     WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT IMMEDIATELY ABOVE TO WAIVE
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if such waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between the Borrower, on the one hand, and any one or
more of the other parties to this Agreement, on the other, arising out of this Agreement at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties to such dispute (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding
Judge of the California Superior Court in and for the County of San Francisco) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the
exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in San Francisco County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance
with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining
orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential, and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a
party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the California Superior Court in and for the County of San Francisco for such
relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted
in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same
manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant
to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral (if any), or obtain provisional remedies.


  
 46 









 
The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph. 

10.16    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies
the entire agreement and understanding among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

 10.17    Headings. Articles and Section headings in this Agreement are included
herein for the convenience of reference only. 
 10.18    USA Patriot Act. Each
Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each borrower, guarantor or grantor (the “Loan Parties”), which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the
Act.

	$                             
    (Amount of Commitment)	 	Date: June 10, 2011

 For Value Received, The Charles Schwab Corporation (“Schwab”) hereby
promises to pay to the order of                          (the “Lender”) to Citibank, N.A., as Agent, at
Agent’s office located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, for the account of the applicable Lending Office of the Lender, the principal amount of
                            ($           
 ) or the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans made to Schwab by the Lender, whichever is less, on June 8, 2012. The undersigned also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Borrowing from the date of
such Borrowing until such principal amount is paid, at the rates per annum, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement. This Note shall be subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and all principal and interest payable
hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. 
 Schwab hereby
authorizes the Lender to endorse on the Schedule attached to this Note the amount and Type of Revolving Loans made to Schwab by the Lender and all renewals, conversions, and payments of principal amounts in respect of such Revolving Loans, which
endorsements shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding principal amount of all such Revolving Loans, provided, however, that the failure to make such notation with respect to any Revolving Loans or
payments shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Schwab under the Credit Agreement or this Note. 

This Note is the Revolving Note referred to in the Credit Agreement (364-Day Commitment), dated as of June 10, 2011
among Schwab, the Lender, certain other Lenders party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as Agent for the Lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings. The Credit
Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of this Note, upon the happening of certain stated events and also for prepayments on account of the principal of this Note prior to the maturity of this Note upon
the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement. 
 Principal and interest payments shall be in money
of the United States of America, lawful at such times for the satisfaction of public and private debts, and shall be in immediately available funds. 
 Schwab promises to pay the costs of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees, if default is made in the payment of this Note. 

The terms and provisions of this Note shall be governed by the applicable laws of the State of California. 







 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Note to be executed by its officers
thereunto duly authorized and directed by appropriate corporate authority.

BORROWER’S OPINION OF COUNSEL 
 [Howard Rice Letterhead] 
 [Date] 

Citibank, N.A., as Agent 
  

 
  

 

	 	Re:	 Credit Agreement (364-Day Commitment), dated June 10, 2011, among 



	 	 	 The Charles Schwab Corporation, Citibank, N.A., as Agent 



	 	 	 and the Lenders party thereto 


 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This opinion is delivered at the request
of The Charles Schwab Corporation to you in your capacity as Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, under the Credit Agreement (364-Day Commitment) dated as of June 10, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”) among The Charles Schwab
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), Citibank, N.A., as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders signatories thereto (each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”). This opinion
letter speaks as of close of business on June 10, 2011 (hereafter the “operative date”). 

We have acted as special counsel to Borrower in connection with the Credit Agreement. In such capacity we have examined
originals, or copies represented to us by Borrower to be true copies, of the Credit Agreement; and we have obtained such certificates of such responsible officials of Borrower and of public officials as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this
opinion. We have assumed without investigation the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as
photostatic copies of originals, and the accuracy and completeness of all corporate records certified to us by the Borrower to be accurate and complete. We have further assumed that the Credit Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against the
Agent and the Lenders. As to factual matters, we have relied upon the representations and warranties contained in and made pursuant to the Credit Agreement. 
 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given for such terms in the Credit Agreement. For the purpose of this opinion, “Loan Documents” as used herein means the
Credit Agreement and the Notes. 
 Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the
exceptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 
 1.    
Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. 







 2.     Borrower has all requisite corporate power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Loan Documents. 

3.     Each Loan Document has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower. Each Loan
Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such validity, binding nature or enforceability may be limited by: 

(a)     the effect of applicable federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws and court decisions relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally; 
 (b)     the effect of legal and equitable principles upon the availability of creditors’ remedies, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

 (c)     the effect of California judicial decisions involving statutes or principles of
equity which have held that certain covenants or other provisions of agreements, including without limitation those providing for the acceleration of indebtedness due under debt instruments upon the occurrence of events therein described, are
unenforceable under circumstances where it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such provisions is reasonably necessary for the protection of the lender, has been undertaken in good faith under the circumstances then existing, and is
commercially reasonable; 
 (d)     the effect of Section 1670.5 of the California
Civil Code, which provides that a court may refuse to enforce a contract or may limit the application thereof or any clause thereof which the court finds as a matter of law to have been unconscionable at the time it was made; 

(e)     the unenforceability, under certain circumstances, of provisions purporting to require the
award of attorneys’ fees, expenses, or costs, where such provisions do not satisfy the requirements of California Civil Code Section 1717 et seq., or in any action where the lender is not the prevailing party; 

(f)     the unenforceability, under certain circumstances, of provisions waiving stated rights or
unknown future rights and waiving defenses to obligations, where such waivers are contrary to applicable law or against public policy; 
 (g)     the unenforceability, under certain circumstances, of provisions which provide for penalties, late charges, additional interest in the event of a default by the borrower or
fees or costs related to such charges; 
 (h)     the unenforceability, under certain
circumstances, of provisions to the effect that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy, or that the election of some particular remedy or
remedies does not preclude recourse to one or another remedy; 
 (i)     the
unenforceability of provisions prohibiting waivers of provisions of either of the Loan Documents otherwise than in writing to the extent that Section 1698 of the California Civil Code permits oral modifications that have been executed;


  
 2 








 (j)     limitations on the enforceability of release,
contribution, exculpatory, or nonliability provisions, under federal or state securities laws, Sections 1542 and 1543 of the California Civil Code, and any other applicable statute or court decisions; 

(k)     limitations on the enforceability of any indemnity obligations imposed upon or undertaken by
the borrower to the extent that such obligations do not satisfy the requirements of Sections 2772 et seq. of the California Civil Code and any judicial decisions thereunder; provided that the limitations and qualifications set
forth in the immediately preceding sub-paragraphs (b) through (k) do not, in our opinion, render the remedies available to the Lenders under the Loan Documents inadequate for the practical realization of the primary rights and benefits
reasonably expected by an institutional lender in a comparable unsecured credit facility transaction governed by California law; and 
 (l)     the effect of Grafton Partners L.P. v. Superior Court, 36 Cal. 4th 944, 2005 WL 1831995 (Cal. 2005), in which the California Supreme Court held that predispute contractual
waivers of trial by jury are invalid, as well as the effect of Section 631(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure, which provides that a court may, in its discretion upon just terms, allow a trial by jury although there may have been a
waiver of trial by jury. 
 The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exceptions and qualifications:

 a.     We have not been requested to verify and have not verified the validity,
accuracy, or reasonableness of any of the factual representations contained in either or both of the Loan Documents, and we express no opinion with respect to any of such matters. 

b.     We are members of the bar of the State of California. We are opining herein only concerning
matters governed by the Federal laws of the United States of America, the substantive laws of the State of California, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and only with respect to Borrower. We express no opinion concerning the
applicability to either or both of the Loan Documents, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to choice of law or conflicts of law, and none of the opinions stated herein shall
be deemed to include or refer to choice of law or conflict of law. 
 c.     We express no
opinion on any Federal or state securities laws as they may relate to either or both of the Loan Documents. 

d.     We express no opinion as to compliance with the usury laws of any jurisdiction. 

The opinions set forth herein are given as of the operative date. We disclaim any obligation to notify you or any other
person or entity after the operative date if any change in fact and/or law should change our opinion with respect to any matters set forth herein. This opinion letter is rendered to you in your capacity as the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under
the Credit Agreement and may not be relied upon, circulated or quoted, in whole or in part, by any other person or entity (other than the Lenders and a person or entity who becomes an assignee or successor in interest of any Lender or acquires a
participation from any Lender consistent with the terms of the Loan Documents) and shall not be referred to in any report or document furnished to any other person or entity without our prior written consent; provided, however, that


  
 3 








 
the foregoing shall not preclude any Lender from describing or otherwise disclosing the existence or contents of this letter to (i) any bank regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
such Lender, as required by such authority, (ii) a person or entity who, in good-faith discussions between such Lender and such person or entity, is proposed to become an assignee or successor in interest of such Lender or to acquire a
participation from the Bank consistent with the terms of the Loan Documents, and (iii) counsel to the Agent and the Lenders.
