CONTINUING AGREEMENT FOR STANDBY LETTERS
OF CREDIT, dated as of May 7, 2013


 


Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement,
capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 27.


 


Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”)
agrees, at the request and for the account of the undersigned (the “Applicant”) and for the benefit of
the Applicant or any of the Applicant’s affiliates, from time to time to issue and extend the expiration date of (any such
issuance or extension (other than pursuant to the terms of an Evergreen Credit) being an “LC Event”)
one or more irrevocable letters of credit (each a “Credit”, and collectively, the “Credits”),
up to an aggregate maximum amount not to exceed the amount of the Security Letter of Credit, substantially in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof. In consideration of Citibank’s issuing, from time to time, one or more Credits substantially
in accordance with the terms and conditions provided by the Applicant from time to time hereunder (the “Application”)
or as otherwise requested by the Applicant in writing, the Applicant and Citibank unconditionally agree as follows:


 


1. Conditions to any LC Event. The
obligation of Citibank to issue or extend the expiration date (other than pursuant to the terms of an Evergreen Credit) of a Credit
hereunder is subject to (a) the delivery to Citibank of the Security Letter of Credit, which shall on the date of any LC Event
have an available amount not less than the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of the Credits outstanding on such date, plus (ii) the
aggregate amount of Drafts, if any, not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Applicant on such date, plus (iii) the amount of any
Credit that the Applicant has requested Citibank to issue on such date, (b) either (i) if such Credit is not an Evergreen Credit,
such Credit’s having an expiration date that is no later than two Business Days prior to the expiration date of the Security
Letter of Credit or (ii) if such Credit is an Evergreen Credit, such Credit’s providing an opportunity for Citibank to send
a notice of non-extension and thereby cause the Credit to expire no later than two years after the date of issuance of such Credit
(and each anniversary thereof, if applicable), and, in any event, no later than two Business Days prior to the expiration date
of the Security Letter of Credit, (c) Citibank’s having received prior written notice at its office specified below before
2:00 p.m. New York time on the second Business Day prior to the Business Day of such requested LC Event and (d) in the case of
the issuance of any Credit, such Credit must be in a form reasonably acceptable to Citibank.


 


No Evergreen Credit shall have an expiration
date that is later than two Business Days prior to the expiration date of the Security Letter of Credit unless, at least thirty
days prior to the expiration date of the Security Letter of Credit, the Applicant and Citibank shall have mutually agreed on arrangements
to provide credit support for the Applicant’s obligations under such Evergreen Credit or, in the absence of such agreement,
the Applicant shall have delivered cash collateral to Citibank in an amount equal to 103% of the face amount of such Evergreen
Credit.


 


2. Reimbursement. The Applicant
will reimburse Citibank, on demand, for the amount of each draft or other request for payment (each, a “Draft”)
drawn under a Credit, whether such Draft is presented to Citibank before, on or, if in accordance with applicable law or letter
of credit customs and practice, after the expiry date stated in the Credit. Each such reimbursement, together with, if applicable,
interest accrued thereon pursuant to Section 4 below, shall be due and payable on the date Citibank makes payment under the Credit,
subject to Section 4 below.


 


3. Commissions, Fees, Charges and
Expenses. The Applicant will pay Citibank (a) fees for the issuance and amendment of, and the drawings under, each Credit at
such rates and times set forth on Schedule I or at such rates and times as the Applicant and Citibank may otherwise agree in writing,
and (b) on demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
which Citibank may pay or incur with respect to each Credit.

4. Payments; Interest on Past Due
Amounts; Computations. All amounts due from the Applicant shall be paid to Citibank at 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York
10043 (or such other address notified to the Applicant in writing), without defense, set-off, cross-claim or counterclaim of any
kind, in U.S. dollars and in same day funds, provided, that if any such amount due is based on Citibank’s payment
in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Applicant will, at Citibank’s option, reimburse Citibank in such currency or pay
the equivalent of such amount in U.S. dollars computed at Citibank’s or its correspondent’s currency selling rate applicable
to the place, currency and value date on which Citibank pays such amount. The Applicant’s obligation to make payments in
U.S. dollars shall not be satisfied by any tender, or any recovery by Citibank pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in
or converted into any currency other than U.S. dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the actual
receipt by Citibank in New York of the full amount of U.S. dollars payable under this Agreement. All reimbursement obligations
in respect of any Draft shall bear interest from and including the date such Draft was paid by Citibank to but excluding the date
such payment is reimbursed in full, and any other amount not paid when due shall bear interest until paid in full, in each case,
at a daily fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to two percent per annum above (a) the rate of interest announced publicly
from time to time by Citibank in New York as Citibank’s Base Rate or (b), if another currency for the Applicant’s payment
is agreed to between the Applicant and Citibank, a corresponding base rate in that currency, as selected by Citibank. Unless otherwise
agreed in writing as to a Credit and subject to any other provision of this Agreement, all computations of commissions, fees and
interest shall be based on a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.


 


5. Additional Costs. If any Change
in Law shall:


 


(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
Citibank;


 


(ii) impose on Citibank any other condition
affecting this Agreement or any Credit; or


 


(iii) change the basis of taxation of payments
to Citibank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
income of Citibank);


 


and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the cost to Citibank of making or maintaining any Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by Citibank, then the Applicant agrees that it will pay to Citibank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Citibank
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules,
guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
(or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III,
and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives
thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a Change in Law,
regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. A certificate of Citibank setting forth Citibank’s good faith determination
of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it as specified above shall be delivered to the Applicant and shall be conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. The Applicant shall pay Citibank the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof by the Applicant; provided, that the Applicant shall not be required to compensate
Citibank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that Citibank
notifies the Applicant of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of Citibank’s intention
to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, Citibank shall not demand 



    	Page 2



    	



    

compensation for any increased cost or
reduction pursuant to this Section if Citibank is not demanding such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions
of other credit agreements.


 


6. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments
by or on account of the Applicant hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or withholding of any amounts
in respect of Taxes, unless such withholding is required by applicable law as determined in good faith by the Applicant; provided
that if any Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Citibank, then (i) the sum payable by the
Applicant shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section) Citibank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such amounts been withheld
and (ii) such amounts shall be withheld and paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.


 


(b) In addition, the Applicant shall pay
any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.


 


(c) The Applicant shall indemnify Citibank,
within 10 days after written demand to the Applicant therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Citibank and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes,
as the case may be, were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting
forth Citibank’s good faith determination of the amount of such payment or liability (along with a reasonably detailed explanation
and computation of such payment or liability) delivered to the Applicant by Citibank shall be conclusive as between Citibank and
the Applicant absent manifest error.


 


(d) (1) Citibank shall deliver to the Applicant
two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that
Citibank is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax. Such forms shall be delivered by Citibank on or before the date it becomes
a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Applicant. In addition, Citibank shall deliver
such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by it. Citibank shall promptly notify
the Applicant at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the
Applicant (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).


 


(2) If a payment made to Citibank under
this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Citibank were to fail to comply with the applicable
reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Citibank
shall deliver to the Applicant at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Applicant
such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Applicant as may be necessary for the Applicant to comply with its obligations under
FATCA and to determine whether Citibank has complied with Citibank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to
deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 6(d)(2), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


 


(3) If Citibank is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Applicant is located, or any treaty
to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, Citibank shall deliver to the Applicant,
at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Applicant, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided
that Citibank is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in its reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission



    	Page 3



    	



    

would not materially prejudice its legal
or commercial position.


 


(4) Citibank agrees
that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section 6(d) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in
any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Applicant in writing of its legal inability to do
so.


 


(5) If Citibank determines, in its reasonable
discretion, that it has received a refund from the relevant Governmental Authority of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified by the Applicant or with respect to which the Applicant has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section,
it shall pay over such refund to the Applicant (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid,
by the Applicant under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses of Citibank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund); provided that the Applicant, upon the request of Citibank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Applicant
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Citibank in the event Citibank
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require Citibank to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes not expressly required to be made available hereunder
which it reasonably deems confidential) to the Applicant or any other Person.


 


7. Indemnification. (a) The Applicant
will indemnify and hold Citibank and its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified
Person”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and related expenses,
excluding Excluded Taxes but including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, other dispute resolution expenses (including
fees and expenses in preparation for a defense of any investigation, litigation or proceeding) and costs of collection that arise
out of or in connection with: (a) the issuance of a Credit, (b) any payment or action taken or omitted to be taken in connection
with a Credit (including any action or proceeding seeking (i) to restrain any drawing under any Credit, (ii) to compel or restrain
the payment of any amount or the taking of any other action under any Credit, (iii) to compel or restrain the taking of any action
under this Agreement, or (iv) to obtain similar relief (including by way of interpleader, declaratory judgment, attachment or otherwise),
(c) the enforcement of this Agreement or (d) any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure
or de facto government or governmental authority or any other cause beyond Citibank’s control; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
result from or arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, in each case, as determined
in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Applicant will pay on demand from time to time all
amounts owing under this Section.


 


(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, each party hereto agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of,
in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Credit or the use
of the proceeds thereof.


 


8. Obligations Absolute: Limitations
of Liability. (a) The Applicant’s obligations to Citibank under this Agreement and in respect of each Credit (whether
absolute or contingent, present or future, collectively, the “Obligations”) shall be unqualified, irrevocable
and payable in the manner and method provided for under this Agreement irrespective of any one or more of the following circumstances:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, a Credit, or any other agreement, application, amendment, guaranty,
document, or instrument relating thereto, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of or in any other term of all
or any of the Obligations of the Applicant in accordance with the terms



    	Page 4



    	



    

thereof, (iii) the existence of any claim,
set-off, defense or other right that the Applicant may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of the Credit
(or any person or entity for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), Citibank or any other person or entity, whether
in connection with any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any unrelated transaction, or any claim by Citibank or the
Applicant against the beneficiary of a Credit for breach of warranty, (iv) any Draft, certificate or other document presented under
a Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate, (v) the issuance
of a Credit (or any amendment thereto) in a form other than substantially as requested by the Applicant, unless Citibank receives
written notice from the Applicant of such error within three Business Days after the Applicant shall have received a copy of such
Credit (or such amendment), (vi) the decision by Citibank not to issue another Credit or an amendment to a Credit requested by
the Applicant if the conditions in Section 1 have not been satisfied with respect to such Credit, (vii) any previous Obligation,
whether or not paid, arising from Citibank’s payment against any Draft, certificate or other document which appeared on its
face to be signed or presented by the proper entity but was in fact forged, fraudulent or invalid or any statement therein was
untrue or inaccurate, (viii) payment by Citibank under a Credit against presentation of a Draft or other document that does not
comply with the terms and conditions of such Credit unless Citibank receives written notice from the Applicant of such discrepancy
within one Business Day following the Applicant’s receipt of such Draft or other document, and (ix) any action or inaction
taken or suffered by Citibank or any of its affiliates or correspondents in connection with a Credit or any relevant Draft, certificate
or other document, if taken in good faith (as defined in Article 5 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) and in conformity with
applicable New York, U.S. or non-U.S. laws, regulations or letter of credit customs and practice. For the avoidance of doubt, the
provisions of this Section 8(a) do not limit any claim that the Applicant may have against Citibank in connection with this Agreement
and the Credits.


 


(b) Without limiting any other provision
of this Agreement, Citibank, its affiliates and any of its correspondents (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct):
(i) may rely upon any oral, telephonic, telegraphic, facsimile, electronic, written or other communication believed in good faith
to have been authorized by the Applicant, whether or not given or signed by an authorized person, (ii) shall not be responsible
for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, advice or document in connection with
a Credit, whether transmitted by courier, mail, telex, any other telecommunication, or otherwise (whether or not they be in cipher),
or for errors in interpretation of technical terms or in translation (and Citibank, its affiliates and its correspondents may transmit
terms of a Credit without translating them), (iii) shall not be responsible for the identity or authority of any signer or the
form, accuracy, genuineness, falsification or legal effect of any Draft, certificate or other document presented under a Credit
if such Draft, certificate or other document on its face appears substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of such
Credit, (iv) shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions by or the solvency of the beneficiary of a Credit or any other
person or entity having any role in any transaction underlying a Credit, (v) may accept or pay as complying with the terms and
conditions of a Credit any Draft, certificate or other document appearing on its face (A) substantially to comply with the terms
and conditions of such Credit, (B) to be signed or presented by or issued to any successor of the beneficiary or any other person
in whose name such Credit requires or authorizes that any Draft, certificate or other document be signed, presented or issued,
including any administrator, executor, personal representative, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, liquidator, receiver,
or successor by merger or consolidation, or any other person or entity purporting to act as the representative of or in place of
any of the foregoing, or (C) to have been signed, presented or issued after a change of name of the beneficiary, (vi) may disregard
(A) any requirement stated in a Credit that any Draft, certificate or other document be presented to it at a particular hour or
place and (B) any discrepancies that do not reduce the value of the beneficiary’s performance to the Applicant



    	Page 5



    	



    

in any transaction underlying such Credit,
(vii) may accept as a “Draft” any written or electronic demand or other request for payment under a Credit, even if
such demand or other request is not in the form of a negotiable instrument, (viii) shall not be responsible for the effectiveness
or suitability of a Credit for the Applicant’s purpose, or be regarded as the drafter of a Credit regardless of any assistance
that Citibank may, in its discretion, provide to the Applicant in preparing the text of such Credit or amendments thereto, (ix)
shall not be liable to the Applicant for any consequential or special damages, or for any damages resulting from any change in
the value of any foreign currency, services or goods or other property covered by a Credit, (x) may assert or waive application
of any UCP or ISP article primarily benefiting bank issuers, (xi) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Credit,
whether pursuant to court order, to settle or compromise any claim that it wrongfully dishonored or otherwise and shall be entitled
to reimbursement to the same extent as if it had initially honored said presentation plus reimbursement of any interest paid by
it and (xii) may pay any nominated bank (as such term is defined in the UCP or nominated person (as such term is defined in the
ISP) (in either case as designated or permitted by the terms of a Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws, customs
or practice of the place where it is located. None of the circumstances described in this Section shall place Citibank or any of
its affiliates or correspondents under any resulting liability to the Applicant.


 


9. Independence. The Applicant
acknowledges that the rights and obligations of Citibank under a Credit are independent of the existence, performance or nonperformance
of any contract or arrangement underlying such Credit, including contracts or arrangements between Citibank and the Applicant and
between the Applicant and the beneficiary of such Credit. Citibank shall promptly notify the Applicant of its receipt of a demand
or a Draft, certificate or other document presented under a Credit, provided, that failure to provide such notification
shall not affect the Applicant’s reimbursement or other payment obligations hereunder so long as the Applicant shall have
at least one Business Day to notify Citibank of any condition specified in Section 8(a). Citibank may, without incurring any liability
to the Applicant or impairing its entitlement to reimbursement under this Agreement, honor a demand under a Credit despite notice
from the Applicant of, and without any duty to inquire into, any defense to payment or any adverse claims or other rights against
the beneficiary of such Credit or any other person. Citibank shall have no duty to request or require the presentation of any document,
including any default certificate, not required to be presented under the terms and conditions of a Credit. Citibank shall have
no duty to seek any waiver of discrepancies from the Applicant, nor any duty to grant any waiver of discrepancies that the Applicant
approves or requests. Citibank shall have no duty to extend the expiration date or term of a Credit beyond the fifth Business Day
prior to the stated expiration date of the Security Letter of Credit or to issue a replacement letter of credit with an expiration
date later than the fifth Business Day prior to the expiration date of the Security Letter of Credit, subject in each case to the
conditions set forth in Section 1.


 


10. Transfers. If, at the Applicant’s
request, a Credit is issued in transferable form, Citibank shall have no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone appearing
in any transfer request, Draft, or other document as transferor or transferee, nor shall Citibank be responsible for the validity,
appropriateness or correctness of any transfer. Citibank is not obligated to recognize an assignment of proceeds of a Credit unless
and until Citibank consents to such assignment; and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, Citibank shall not be obligated
to give or withhold its consent to an assignment of proceeds of a Credit. However, if Citibank consents to an assignment of proceeds
of a Credit, Citibank shall have no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone appearing to be the assignor or assignee, nor
shall Citibank be responsible for the validity, appropriateness or correctness of any such assignment.


 


11. Extensions and Modifications of
the Credits. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Applicant with respect to any extension or modification of a Credit made
at the Applicant’s written request or with the Applicant’s written consent.



    	Page 6



    	



    

12. Covenants of the Applicant. The Applicant
will, so long as any Credit or any reimbursement or other payment obligation of the Applicant under this Agreement remains outstanding,
observe or perform each covenant and agreement applicable to it contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement.


 


13. Representations and Warranties of
the Applicant. Upon the date hereof, the Applicant makes to Citibank the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV
of the Credit Agreement with each reference therein to “this Agreement”, “the Credit Documents”, “hereunder”,
“hereof” and words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement being deemed to be a reference to this Agreement.
In addition, each request by the Applicant for an amendment to this Agreement or for the issuance of a Credit or for any amendment
to any Credit shall constitute the Applicant’s representation and warranty that such representations and warranties are true
and correct in all material respects as if made on the date of such request.


 


14. Default. The following shall
be an “Event of Default” under this Agreement: an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
shall occur and be continuing; provided, that an Event of Default under clause (c) of Article VIII of the Credit Agreement shall
not be an Event of Default under this Agreement.


 


For avoidance of doubt, the failure of a
default or breach by the Applicant under this Agreement to constitute an Event of Default hereunder shall not limit Citibank’s
ability to exercise all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law, in equity or otherwise.


 


15. Remedies; Security Letter of Credit
Proceeds. (a) If the Applicant shall fail to pay any principal of any obligation owed to Citibank under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the reimbursement of any Draft, when due and payable, Citibank may draw on the Security Letter of Credit to
satisfy any such obligations then due and owing.


 


(b) If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the aggregate of the face amounts of all Credits as well as any or all other Obligations, whether or
not matured or contingent, shall, at Citibank’s option, become due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest,
or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Applicant; provided, however, that if an Event
of Default under clause (f) or (g) of Article VIII of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred, the aggregate of the face amounts
of all Credits as well as all other Obligations, whether or not matured or contingent, shall automatically become due and payable
without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Applicant. In addition,
Citibank may (i) if any Credit shall not have been issued, by notice to the Applicant declare its obligation to issue any Credit
to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) send notice to the Applicant of the occurrence of an Event
of Default thereby resulting in Citibank’s ability to pursue all other remedies available at law, by contract, in equity
or otherwise.


 


(c) Citibank agrees, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, (i) to draw on the Security Letter of Credit to satisfy any Obligations in respect of reimbursement for the principal
amount of Drafts due and payable hereunder or to satisfy any amounts due under the preceding clause (b) before exercising any other
remedy that might be available to Citibank, (ii) to apply the proceeds of each draw under the Security Letter of Credit directly
to the satisfaction of the Obligations due and payable at the time of such draw and (iii) to apply any remaining amount of such
draw (and any proceeds or investments thereof) directly to the other Obligations, when and as such Obligations become due and payable
(such drawn amounts and any proceeds or investments thereof, “Security Letter of Credit Proceeds”). Receipt or application
of the Security Letter of Credit Proceeds to the Obligations in accordance with the foregoing shall constitute for all purposes
of this Agreement (including reinstatement, if applicable, of amounts available to be drawn under any Credit) satisfaction of the
Obligations to the extent of the amounts so applied.


 


(d) The Applicant
agrees that Citibank will have the sole right to sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise dispose
of, or otherwise use in its business any Security Letter of Credit Proceeds it holds, free




    	Page 7



    	



    

 from any claim or right of any nature
whatsoever of the Applicant, including any equity or right of redemption by the Applicant. For purposes of any rights or remedies
authorized under this Agreement, Citibank will be deemed to continue to hold all Security Letter of Credit Proceeds, regardless
of whether Citibank has exercised any rights with respect to any Security Letter of Credit Proceeds pursuant to the preceding sentence.


 


(e) Citibank agrees
that promptly following the Termination Date, Citibank will pay to the Applicant an amount, if positive, equal to (x) all Security
Letter of Credit Proceeds received by Citibank due to drawings under the Security Letter of Credit minus (y) the aggregate amount
of the Drafts paid by Citibank hereunder and not otherwise reimbursed by the Applicant minus (z) the aggregate amount of Security
Letter of Credit Proceeds applied to pay other Obligations. Citibank and the Applicant agree that, for the avoidance of doubt and
notwithstanding Citibank’s obligations under this Section 15(e), (i) the Security Letter of Credit Proceeds are the property
of Citibank and not of the Applicant, (ii) the Applicant has no interest in the Security Letter of Credit or any Security Letter
of Credit Proceeds, and (iii) this Agreement does not constitute a transfer of the property of the Applicant.


 


(f) The Applicant
agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of Citibank, the Applicant will execute and deliver such further documents
and do such other acts and things as Citibank may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this subsection.
Citibank may employ agents and attorneys in fact in connection with this Section and shall not be responsible for the negligence
or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys in fact selected by it in good faith.


 


16. Set-off. If any Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing and the face amounts of all Credits as well as any other Obligations shall have become due and payable,
after giving effect to any draw under the Security Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 15(c), Citibank may set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time
owing by Citibank or any of its affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Applicant or any of its Affiliates (“Deposits”)
against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not Citibank shall have made any demand under this Agreement
and although such Deposits or Obligations may be unmatured or contingent. Citibank’s rights under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which Citibank may have under this Agreement or applicable law.


 


17. Waiver of Immunity. The Applicant
acknowledges that this Agreement is, and each Credit will be, entered into for commercial purposes and, to the extent that the
Applicant now or later acquires any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or
its property, the Applicant now irrevocably waives its immunity with respect to the Obligations.


 


18. Notices;
Co-Applicants; Interpretation; Severability. (a) Notices shall be effective, if to the Applicant, when sent to its address
indicated below the signature line and, if to Citibank, when received at c/o Citicorp North America, Inc., 3800 Citibank Center,
Building B, 3rd Floor, Tampa, Florida 33610, Attention: Standby Letter of Credit Department, facsimile number: 813-604-7187, with
a copy to Citicorp North America, Inc., 3800 Citibank Center, Tampa FL 33610, or, as to either party, such other address as either
may notify the other in writing. Notices to the beneficiary of a Credit shall be effective when sent to the address maintained
in Citibank’s letter of credit records for such beneficiary, and the Applicant agrees to hold Citibank harmless with respect
to any claim by the beneficiary of non-receipt of such a notice.


 


(b) Headings are
included only for convenience and are not interpretive. The term “including” means “including without limitation.”


 


(c) If any provision
of this Agreement is held illegal or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.


 


19. Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the Applicant and its successors and permitted assigns and by Citibank and
its successors and permitted assigns. The Applicant shall not voluntarily transfer or otherwise assign any of its obligations under
this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be



    	Page 8



    	



    

 construed to confer any right or benefit upon any person or entity other than the Applicant
and Citibank and their respective successors and permitted assigns.


 


20. Modification; No Waiver. None
of the terms of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a writing signed by the party against whose interest the term
is waived or amended. Forbearance, failure or delay by any party hereto in the exercise of a remedy shall not constitute a waiver,
nor shall any exercise or partial exercise of any remedy preclude any further exercise of that or any other remedy. Any waiver
or consent by any party hereto shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given
and shall not be deemed, regardless of frequency given, to be a further or continuing waiver or consent.


 


21. Multiple Role Disclosure.
Citibank and its affiliates offer a wide range of financial services, including back-office letter of credit processing services
on behalf of financial institutions and letter of credit beneficiaries. Such services are provided internationally to a wide range
of customers, some of whom may be the Applicant’s counterparties or competitors. The Applicant acknowledges and accepts that
Citibank and its affiliates may perform more than one role in relation to a particular Credit, including to advise a Credit notwithstanding
the selection by the Applicant of an additional or alternative advising bank.


 


22. Continuing Agreement; Entire Agreement;
Remedies Cumulative; Delivery by Facsimile. (a) This Agreement is a continuing agreement and all Credits to which it applies
or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties concerning Citibank’s issuance of Credits for the Applicant’s account and
supersedes all prior agreements governing such issuance unless specifically excluded in an annex hereto.


 


(b) All rights and remedies of Citibank
under this Agreement and other documents delivered in connection with this Agreement or otherwise directly or indirectly related
to the Obligations are cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, a Credit or applicable
law.


 


(c) The Applicant may submit an executed
Application for a Credit in original form, via a Citibank electronic banking platform such as “CitiDirect” or by fax,
email attachment or other electronic means. The Applicant will be bound by any instructions so given. Delivery of a signed signature
page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or email attachment shall be effective as, and shall constitute physical delivery
of, a signed original counterpart of this Agreement.


 


23. Termination; Surviving Provisions.
(a) This Agreement may be terminated by the Applicant only upon the occurrence of all of the following: (i) the amount of all
Obligations, whether matured or contingent, shall have been paid to Citibank (and for the avoidance of doubt, the creation of any
overdraft in the Applicant’s account with Citibank shall not discharge the Applicant’s Obligations hereunder); (ii)
all Credits expiring at Citibank’s counters shall have expired or been cancelled by Citibank and (iii) as to all Credits
expiring at the counters of institutions other than Citibank, a reasonable time (but no more than 30 days, as determined in good
faith by Citibank) shall have passed following the expiration or cancellation by Citibank of all such Credits in order to allow
such institutions to present documents to Citibank.


 


(b) Indemnity, tax, immunity, confidentiality
and jurisdiction provisions shall survive termination of this Agreement, expiration of all Credits, and payment of the Obligations.


 


(c) If a Credit is issued in favor of
any bank, Citibank branch or other entity in support of an undertaking issued by such bank, branch or entity on behalf of the Applicant
or Citibank, the Applicant shall remain liable under this Agreement (even after expiry of the Credit) for amounts paid and expenses
incurred by Citibank with respect to the Credit or such undertaking until such time as Citibank or such other bank, branch or entity
shall have no further liability, under applicable law,
in connection with such undertaking.

 

24. Governing Law; Governing Rules.

may issue any Credit subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”)
Publication No. 600 (the “UCP”) or the International Standby Practices, ICC Publication No. 590 (the
“ISP”) or, at Citibank’s option, such later revision thereof or other ICC rules in effect at the
time of issuance of the Credit. Citibank’s privileges, rights and remedies under ICC rules shall be in addition to, and not
in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for herein. The UCP and the ISP (or such later revision
of either), shall serve, in the absence of proof to the contrary, as evidence of general banking usage with respect to the subject
matter thereof.


 


(c) Each of the Applicant and Citibank
agrees that for matters not addressed by the UCP or the ISP, each Credit shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State
of New York and applicable U.S. Federal laws. If, at the Applicant’s request, a Credit expressly chooses a state or country
law other than New York State law and U.S. Federal law, or is silent with respect to the choice of the UCP, the ISP or a governing
law, Citibank shall not be liable for any payment, cost, expense or loss resulting from any action or inaction taken by Citibank
if such action or inaction is or would be justified under the UCP, the ISP, New York law, applicable U.S. Federal law or the law
governing such Credit.


 


25. Jurisdiction; Service of Process;
Confidentiality. (a) This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in New York County, New York, regardless of the order
in which the signatures of the parties shall be affixed hereto. The Applicant now irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of any state or federal court sitting in New York County, New York, for itself, and in respect of any of its property and, if a
law other than New York State law has been chosen to govern a Credit, the Applicant also now irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any court sitting in such jurisdiction with respect to that Credit. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the Applicant agrees not to bring any action or proceeding against Citibank with respect to that Credit in any jurisdiction
other than those described in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the same Credit. The Applicant irrevocably waives
any objection to venue or any claim of inconvenient forum.


 


(b) The Applicant agrees that any service
of process or other notice of legal process may be served upon it by mail or hand delivery if sent to CT Corporation System, 111
Eighth Avenue, 13th floor, New York, New York 10011 (or any successor entity thereto.
