ARTICLE II. 

THE LOANS 

2.01 Commitment to Lend. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender agrees to make a Loan to the Borrower on the
Closing Date in a Dollar amount up to the lesser of (a) such Lender’s Commitment or (b) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount that is equal to the lesser of (i) the amount that is necessary to fund the cash
portion of the Acquisition Consideration pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the Merger Agreement (disregarding the exclusion for dissenting shareholders) plus any transaction costs related to the Acquisition or this Agreement not funded by
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement or (ii) the amount that the Borrower may elect to borrow in its sole discretion. The Aggregate Commitments are not revolving and amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or
prepaid may not be reborrowed. 
 2.02 Request for Loans. The Borrower must give to the Administrative Agent a written
Loan Notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) which Loan Notice must: 
 (a) specify (i) the aggregate
amount of any Borrowing of ABR Loans and the date on which such ABR Loans are to be advanced, which shall be the Closing Date or (ii) the aggregate amount of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans and the date on which such Eurodollar Loans are to
be advanced (which shall be the Closing Date and which shall be the first day of the Interest Period which is to apply thereto); and 
 (b) be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. New York time on (i) the Closing Date if such Borrowing is to be comprised of ABR Loans, or (ii) the third Business Day
preceding the Closing Date if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans. 
 Each such written request or
confirmation must be made in the form and substance of the Loan Notice, duly completed. Each such telephonic request shall be deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment and agreement by the Borrower as to the matters which are required to be
set out in such written confirmation. Upon receipt of the Loan Notice requesting Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the terms thereof. If all 

  
 -31-








 
conditions precedent to the Closing Date have been met, each Lender will by 11:00 a.m. New York time on the date requested promptly remit to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s Office the amount of such Lender’s Loan in immediately available funds, and upon receipt of such funds, unless to its actual knowledge any conditions precedent to its Loan have been neither met nor waived as provided herein, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly make such Loans available to the Borrower. 
 2.03 Continuations and
Conversions of Loans. Prior to the 60th day following
the Closing Date, the Borrower may make the following elections with respect to Loans already outstanding: to Convert, in whole or in part, ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans; to Convert, in whole or in part, Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto; and to Continue, in whole or in part, Eurodollar Loans beyond the expiration of such Interest Period by designating a new Interest Period to take effect at the time of such expiration. In making such
elections, the Borrower may combine existing Loans made pursuant to separate Borrowings into one new Borrowing or divide existing Loans made pursuant to one Borrowing into separate new Borrowings. To make any such election, the Borrower must give to
the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of any such Conversion or Continuation of existing Loans, with a separate notice given for each new Borrowing. Each such notice must: 

(a) specify the existing Loans which are to be Continued or Converted; 

(b) specify (i) the aggregate amount of any Borrowing of ABR Loans into which such existing Loans are to be Continued or Converted
and the date on which such Continuation or Conversion is to occur, or (ii) the aggregate amount of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans into which such existing Loans are to be Continued or Converted, the date on which such Continuation or
Conversion is to occur (which shall be the first day of the Interest Period which is to apply to such Eurodollar Loans), and the length of the applicable Interest Period; and 
 (c) be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on (i) the day on which any such Conversion to ABR Loans is to occur, or (ii) the third Business Day preceding the day on
which any such Continuation or Conversion to Eurodollar Loans is to occur. 
 Each such written request or confirmation must be
made in the form and substance of the Loan Notice, duly completed. Each such telephonic request shall be deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment and agreement by the Borrower as to the matters which are required to be set out in such
written confirmation. Upon receipt of any such Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the terms thereof. Each Loan Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. During the continuance of any Default,
the Borrower may not make any election to Convert existing Loans into Eurodollar Loans or Continue existing Loans as Eurodollar Loans beyond the expiration of their respective and corresponding Interest Period then in effect. If (due to the
existence of a Default or for any other reason) the Borrower fails to timely and properly give any Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing of existing Eurodollar Loans at least three days prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
such Eurodollar Loans, to the extent not prepaid at the end of such Interest 

  
 -32-








 
Period, shall automatically be Converted into ABR Loans at the end of such Interest Period. No new funds shall be repaid by the Borrower or advanced by any Lender in connection with any
Continuation or Conversion of existing Loans pursuant to this Section, and no such Continuation or Conversion shall be deemed to be a new advance of funds for any purpose; such Continuations and Conversions merely constitute a change in the interest
rate, Interest Period or Type applicable to already outstanding Loans. 
 2.04 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use
the proceeds of all Loans to fund the Acquisition, to repay Indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement (to the extent being terminated on the Closing Date) and to pay the transaction costs related to the Acquisition and this
Agreement. 
 2.05 Prepayments and Repayment of Loans. 

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent at any time or from time to time, voluntarily
prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than Eurodollar Loan breakage costs, if any, pursuant to Section 3.05) if (a) such notice is received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. three
Business Days prior to any date of prepayment; and (b) any partial prepayment is in a principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each
such notice must specify the date and amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. Any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan must be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon. No Lender may reject any voluntary prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05. 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayment Upon Asset Sales and Issuance of Indebtedness. 
 (i) Unless a Reinvestment Notice has been given, then no later than the third Business Day following the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of (i) any Net Asset
Sale Proceeds (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Net Asset Sale Proceeds received by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries from any Asset Sale of Equity Interests of its Restricted Subsidiaries, of Equity Interests of an MLP, from any
Drop Down or Transfer other than the Citrus Transfer), the Borrower shall prepay, without premium or penalty, the Loans with 100% of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds until such time as the outstanding principal balance of the Loans is no longer greater
than $1,250,000,000. On the 1st Business Day after the
expiration of any Reinvestment Period, the Borrower shall prepay, without premium or penalty, the Loans with any portion of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds which have not been reinvested in accordance with the preceding sentence. 

(ii) No later than the third Business Day following the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Net Issuance Proceeds received from the issuance of any Indebtedness for borrowed money after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall prepay, without premium or penalty, the Loans with 100% of such Net Issuance Proceeds. 


  
 -33-








 (c) Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans
pursuant to Section 2.05(b), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Asset Sale Proceeds or Net Issuance Proceeds, as
applicable. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to
such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess amount. 

(d) Application of Prepayments. Any prepayment of a Loan pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be applied to reduce the
principal on the Loan and shall be applied first to ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 3.05. 
 (e) Repayment of Loans on Maturity Date. Subject to the Borrower’s option to convert up
to one-half of the amount of the Loans funded on the Closing Date into Term Loans as provided in Section 2.12, the then outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be due and payable in full in cash on the Maturity Date. 

2.06 Interest Rates and Fees. 
 (a) Interest Rates. Unless the Default Rate shall apply, (i) during the period from the Closing Date until the 60th day thereafter, (1) each ABR Loan shall bear interest on each day outstanding at the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable ABR Margin in effect on such day and (2) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on each day during the related Interest Period at the related Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable LIBO Margin in effect on such day, and
(ii) from and after the 61st day following the
Closing Date until the Loans are paid in full in cash, the Loans shall bear interest at the Weighted Average Cap. Accrued unpaid interest is due and payable on each Interest Payment Date and, on past due amounts, on demand. During a Default Rate
Period, all Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest on each day outstanding at the applicable Default Rate. The interest rate shall change whenever the applicable Alternate Base Rate, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Weighted Average Cap
changes, as applicable. In no event shall the interest rate on any Loan exceed the Maximum Rate. 
 (b) Commitment Fees.
In consideration of each Lender’s commitment to make Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee equal to 1.0% of the Aggregate Commitments as of the date hereof, which fee shall be
due and payable as follows: (i) one-quarter of which fee shall be paid on the earlier of (1) October 17, 2011 or (2) the last day of the Commitment Period, and (ii) the balance of which fee shall be paid on the earlier of
(1) the Closing Date or (2) the last day of the Commitment Period. 

  
 -34-








 (c) Commitment Extension Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of each Lender based on its Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Commitments, a commitment fee of 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Aggregate Commitments if the Borrower elects to extend the Commitment Period for 90
days, which fee is due and payable at the time such option is exercised and an additional 0.25% of the Aggregate Commitments if the Borrower elects to extend the Commitment Period for a second 90 days, which fee is due and payable at the time such
option is exercised. 
 (d) Ticking Fee. In consideration of each Lender’s commitment to make Loans, the Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a ticking fee determined on a daily basis equal to 0.375% per annum times such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Commitments on each day during the period
commencing on October 19, 2011 and ending on the last day of the Commitment Period. The ticking fee shall be due and payable at the end of the Commitment Period. 
 (e) Funding Fee.

(e)(i) above is paid, (1) the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender an amount equal to 0.625% of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender on the Closing Date and (2) if on the 61st day after the Closing Date, any Loans
remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall pay each Lender an amount equal to 0.625% of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender on such date. 

(iii) If the initial principal amount of the Loans is less than $1,500,000,000 and the funding fee is paid under clause
(e)(i) above is paid, (1) the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender an amount equal to 0.9375% of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender on the Closing Date and (2) if on the 121st day after the Closing Date, any
Loans remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall pay each Lender an amount equal to 0.3125% of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender on such date. 
 (f) Duration Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Lender, a duration fee in an amount equal to (i) 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Loans outstanding on the date which is 90 days after the Closing Date, due and payable in cash on such 90th day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), (ii) 0.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans
outstanding on the date which is 180 days after the Closing Date, due and payable in cash on such 180th day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), and (iii) 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans

 -35-








 (g) Administrative Agent’s Fees. In addition to all other amounts due to the
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall pay fees to the Administrative Agent as agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 
 (h) Calculations and Determinations. All calculations of interest chargeable with respect to the Adjusted LIBO Rate and of fees shall be made on the basis of actual days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day) and a year of 360 days. All calculations under the Loan Documents of interest chargeable with respect to the Alternate Base Rate (except when based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate for one month) and the Weighted
Average Cap shall be made on the basis of actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) and a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate. 
 (i) Past Due Obligations. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to each Lender interest at the Default Rate on all Obligations (including Obligations to pay fees or to reimburse or indemnify any
Lender) that the Borrower has in this Agreement promised to pay to such Lender and that are not paid when due. Such interest shall accrue from the date such Obligations become due until they are paid. 

2.07 Evidence of Debt. The Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such
Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note in the form of Exhibit F, which shall evidence such
Lender’s Loan in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loan and payments with respect thereto. 

2.08 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed. Each such payment shall
be made at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Subject to Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each
Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of each such payment with respect to Loans in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent after 2:00 p.m. may, in the Administrative Agent’s sole 

  
 -36-








 
discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any payment to
be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as applicable. 

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share
available on such date in accordance with Section 2.01 and Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its
share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of
the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.
If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such
period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any
claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 A
notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.08(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

  
 -37-








 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the
Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions set forth
in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to
Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 2.09 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the
Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 

(a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
 (b) the provisions
of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment or
sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. 
 Each Restricted Person consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Restricted Person rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Restricted Person in the amount of such participation. 

  
 -38-








 2.10 Reductions in Commitment. 

(a) Optional Reductions. The Borrower shall have the right, prior to the Closing Date, to permanently reduce the Aggregate
Commitments, without penalty, provided that (i) notice of such reduction is given not less than two Business Days prior to such reduction and (ii) each partial reduction shall be in an amount at least equal to $3,000,000 and in
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 
 (b) Mandatory Reductions. 

(i) If, prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower engages in any offering of or incurrence of any Indebtedness or any sale or offering of
Equity Interests which produces Net Issuance Proceeds, then the Aggregate Commitments shall reduce on the Business Day on which such event occurs by an amount equal to the Net Issuance Proceeds associated with such incurrence or offering of Equity
Interests, as applicable. 
 (ii) If, prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower obtains an amendment of the Revolving Credit
Agreement to permit, among other things, the Acquisition, or otherwise replaces the Revolving Credit Agreement with a new senior revolving credit agreement, the Aggregate Commitments shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the commitments
of the lenders thereunder; provided that the foregoing reduction shall in no event exceed $200,000,000. 
 (iii) If, prior to
the Closing Date, the Borrower engages in any Asset Sale (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Asset Sales of Equity Interests of its Subsidiaries, of Equity Interests of an MLP or SUGS Drop Down) and the Borrower has not given a Reinvestment
Notice with respect to such Asset Sale, then Aggregate Commitments shall be reduced in an amount equal to any Net Asset Sale Proceeds until such time as the Aggregate Commitments do not exceed $1,250,000,000. In addition, on the 1st Business Day
after the expiration of any Reinvestment Period, the Aggregate Commitments shall be reduced in an amount equal to any Net Asset Sale Proceeds not so reinvested. 
 (c) Closing Date. At 11:59 p.m., New York time on the last day of the Commitment Period, the Aggregate Commitments shall expire. 

2.11 Defaulting Lenders. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, ticking fees, commitment fees, funding
fees (except to the extent such Defaulting Lender has actually funded its Loan) and duration fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.06 and any amounts payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder
(whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09 but excluding Section 10.13(b)) may, in lieu of being
distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent and, subject to any applicable requirements of Law, be applied (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder and (ii) second to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 2.12 Term-Out Loan Option. 

The Borrower may elect to extend the maturity of up to one-half of the amount of the principal balance of the Loans funded on the Closing
Date into Term-Out Loans which amount shall then be due and payable in full on Term-Out Loan Maturity Date. To exercise its option, the Borrower must (a) provide written notice from a Responsible Officer not less than one month prior to the
Maturity Date, which notice shall certify that (i) no Default or Event of Default then exists, and (ii) the amount of the Loans to become Term-Out Loans, and (b) pay the Term-Out Fee. 

ARTICLE III. 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 3.01 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction or withholding for, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any
Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of
Section 3.01(a), the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (provided that the Borrower shall not indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any such penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising solely from such party’s failure
to notify the Borrower of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes within a reasonable period of time after such party has actual knowledge of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

  
 -40-








 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a
copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of United States withholding tax, or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to
payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject
to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party; 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI; 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest
under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the
Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN; or 
 (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 


  
 -41-








 Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall
update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01(e). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) expires or becomes obsolete in any respect with
respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update
the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or
such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 (g) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally
indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower or any Guarantor has not already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that
it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the
authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the 

  
 -42-








 
Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to Convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if
applicable, Convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Upon any such prepayment or Conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or Converted. 

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a
Eurodollar Loan or a Conversion to or Continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan,
(b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to
make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,
Conversion to or Continuation of Eurodollar Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein. 

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Loans. 
 (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; 
 (ii) subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Tax with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Administrative Agent
in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or
Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; 

  
 -43-








 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative
Agent of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or in the case of clause (ii), making any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital
Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such
Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company, if any, with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 3.04(a) and 3.04(b) and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any
Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any Continuation, Conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than an ABR Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

  
 -44-








 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make
a Loan) to prepay, borrow, Continue or Convert any Loan other than an ABR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 
 (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (but excluding any loss of anticipated profits). The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar
Loan made by it at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Loan was in fact so
funded. 
 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as
applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower may replace any
Lender to the extent contemplated by, and in accordance with, Section 10.13. 
 3.07 Survival. All of the
Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Restricted Subsidiaries and the General Partner has all permits, licenses and authorizations required in connection with the conduct of its businesses, except to the extent failure to have any such permit, license or authorization has not had, and

also in compliance with all other limitations, restrictions, 

  
 -50-








 
conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in any Law or in any regulation, code, plan, order, decree, judgment, injunction, notice or

General Partner (a) has filed and maintained all tariffs applicable to its business with each applicable agency, (b) all such tariffs are in compliance with all Laws administered or promulgated by each applicable agency and (c) has
imposed charges on its customers in compliance with such tariffs, all contracts applicable to its business and all applicable Laws except to the extent such failure to file or impose has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, a

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Credit Suisse AG to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

  
 -74-








 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders. 
 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that
the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable
for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the
Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and
8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the 

  
 -75-








 
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or
intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts. 
 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall
apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time after the Closing Date give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any
such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York. If no
such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
(b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a


  
 -76-








 
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue
to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger shall have no powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 
 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relative to any Restricted Person, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

  
 -77-








 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.06
and 10.04. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding. 
 9.10 Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release any
Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Person as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing
the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. 
 ARTICLE X. 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

10.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent
to any departure by the Borrower or any other Restricted Person therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Majority Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Person, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the
Administrative Agent, and each 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 amendment, waiver or consent shall:

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except to the extent the consent of such
Lender would be required under clause (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 10.01. 

Notwithstanding any to the contrary herein, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend or modify this Agreement or any Loan Document (1) to
cure any ambiguity or defect or correct or supplement any provision herein that may be inconsistent with any other provision or (2) to reflect changes to the Merger Agreement which are permitted by Section 7.13.

binding on all Restricted Persons, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided, however, that
the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Restricted Person, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative,
contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Restricted Person against an
Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Restricted Person has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any
reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought and as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(d). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages,
Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the
proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or
other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

  
 -82-








 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than
ten Business Days after demand therefor.

resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations, and the termination of this Agreement. 

10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law 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 such setoff had not occurred, and
(b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand
to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
the termination of this Agreement. 
 10.06 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the

permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

  
 -83-








 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and its Loan at the time owing to it); provided that the amount of any such assignment shall be at least $1,000,000
(or the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender, if less); 
 (i) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; and 

(ii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which the Administrative Agent may waive in its sole discretion, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire and any tax forms required under Section 3.01(e), but no processing and recordation fee may be charged with respect to any assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.

Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05,
and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer
by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
subsection (d) of this Section. 
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments
of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with
other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. 

  
 -84-








 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that
affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a
Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.09 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e)
Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01(a) unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall
be delivered to the participating Lender). 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed
to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of 

  
 -85-








 
a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act,
the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or
its Affiliates or to any such regulatory authority in accordance with such Lender’s regulatory compliance policy, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other
party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than
the Borrower. 
 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower
or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any
and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be 

  
 -86-








 
contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and
its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the
maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be
applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such
Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and
(c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and
when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 10.11 Survival of Representations and
Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and
thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or 

  
 -87-








 
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) if a Lender gives a notice of illegality pursuant to
Section 3.02, (iv) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing under Section 3.05 (in a disproportionate manner relative to other Lenders), (v) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (vi) any Lender has
refused to consent to any waiver or amendment with respect to any Loan Document that requires such Lender’s consent and has been consented to by the Majority Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 

(a) the Borrower or the assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 10.06(b); 
 (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (c) in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; and 
 (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 10.14
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 
 (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT THAT ANY DETERMINATION OF WHETHER A COMPANY MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT HAS OCCURRED SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE. 

  
 -88-








 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY

RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SUBSECTION (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH
OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN
SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 
 10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF 

  
 -89-








 
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 10.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each
Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any 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 the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that
will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower will comply with reasonable requests of any Lender for such information. 

10.17 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. 

10.18 No Recourse. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that neither the General Partner nor any director, officer,
employee, limited partner or shareholder of the Borrower or the General Partner shall have any personal liability in respect of the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by reason of his,
her or its status. 
 10.19 Separateness. The Lenders acknowledge (i) the separateness as of the date hereof of each
MLP, the Company and each Drop Down Entity and their respective subsidiaries from the Borrower and each other Restricted Person, (ii) that the lenders and noteholders under credit agreements with each MLP, the Company and each Drop Down Entity
and their respective subsidiaries have likely advanced funds thereunder in reliance upon the separateness of such MLP, the Company or such Drop Down Entity and their respective subsidiaries from the Borrower and each other Restricted Person,
(iii) that each MLP, the Company and each Drop Down Entity and their respective subsidiaries has assets and liabilities that are separate from those of the Borrower and the other Restricted Persons, (iv) that the Loans and other
obligations owing under the Loan Documents have not been guaranteed by either MLP, the Company and each Drop Down Entity or any of their respective subsidiaries, and (v) that, except as other Persons may expressly assume or guarantee any of the
Loan Documents or obligations thereunder, the Lenders shall look solely to the Borrower and its property and assets and the property and assets of the other Restricted Persons, and any property pledged as collateral with respect to the Loan
Documents, for the repayment of any amounts payable pursuant to the Loan Documents and for satisfaction of any obligations owing to the Lenders under the Loan Documents and that none of ETP, Regency, the Company or any Drop Down Entity or any of
their respective subsidiaries is personally liable to the Lenders for any amounts payable, or any liability, under the Loan Documents.

DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 

Section 5.04 No Conflicts or Consents: 
 The permits, consents, approvals, authorizations or orders, or notices or filings, registrations or qualifications, referred to in that certain Registration Statement of the Borrower filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 11, 2011, as amended.

None. 
 Section 5.09
Litigation: 
 Litigation Relating to the Merger 

On June 21, 2011, a putative class action lawsuit captioned Jaroslawicz v. Southern Union Company, et al.,
Cause No. 2011-37091, was filed in the 333rd Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. The petition names as defendants the members of the Southern Union Board, as well as Southern Union Company (“Southern Union”)
and Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“ETE”). The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Southern Union’s stockholders or aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with
the merger. The petition alleges that the merger involves an unfair price and an inadequate sales process and that defendants entered into the transaction to benefit themselves personally. The petition seeks injunctive relief, including to enjoin
the merger, attorneys’ and other fees and costs, indemnification and other relief. 
 Also on June 21,
2011, another putative class action lawsuit captioned Magda v. Southern Union Company, et al., Cause No. 2011-37134, was filed in the 11th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. The petition named as defendants the members of
the Southern Union Board, Southern Union and ETE. The plaintiff alleges that the Southern Union directors breached their fiduciary duties to Southern Union’s stockholders in connection with the merger and that Southern Union and ETE aided and
abetted those alleged breaches. The petition alleges that the merger involves an unfair price and an inadequate sales process, that Southern Union’s directors entered into the merger to benefit themselves personally, and that defendants have
failed to disclose all material information related to the merger to Southern Union stockholders. The petition seeks injunctive relief, including to enjoin the merger, and an award of attorneys’ and other fees and costs, in addition to other
relief. On June 28, 2011, an amended petition was filed, naming the same defendants and alleging that the Southern Union directors 






 
breached their fiduciary duties to Southern Union’s stockholders in connection with the merger and that Southern Union and ETE aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The
amended petition alleges that the merger involves an unfair price and an inadequate sales process, that Southern Union’s directors entered into the merger to benefit themselves personally, including through consulting and noncompete agreements,
and that defendants have failed to disclose all material information related to the merger to Southern Union stockholders. The amended petition seeks injunctive relief, including to enjoin the merger, and an award of attorneys’ and other fees
and costs, in addition to other relief. 
 On June 27, 2011, a putative class action
lawsuit captioned Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, et al. v. Southern Union Company, et al., C.A. No. 6615-CS, was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint names as defendants the members of the Southern
Union Board, Southern Union and ETE. The plaintiffs allege that the Southern Union directors breached their fiduciary duties to Southern Union’s stockholders in connection with the merger, and further claim that ETE aided and abetted those
alleged breaches. The complaint alleges that the merger involves an unfair price and an inadequate sales process, that Southern Union’s directors entered into the merger to benefit themselves personally, including through consulting and
noncompete agreements, and that the directors should deem the Williams proposal1 to be superior. The complaint seeks
compensatory damages, injunctive relief, including to enjoin the merger, and an award of attorneys’ and other fees and costs, in addition to other relief. 
 On June 29 and 30, 2011, putative class action lawsuits captioned KBC Asset Management NV v. Southern Union Company, et al., C.A. No. 6622-CS, and LBBW Asset Management Investment GmbH
v. Southern Union Company, et al., C.A. No. 6627-CS, respectively, were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaints name as defendants the members of the Southern Union Board, Southern Union, ETE and Sigma Acquisition
Corporation (“Merger Sub”). The plaintiffs allege that the Southern Union directors breached their fiduciary duties to Southern Union’s stockholders in connection with the merger and that ETE aided and abetted those
alleged breaches. The complaints allege that the merger involves an unfair price and an inadequate sales process, that Southern Union’s directors entered into the merger to benefit themselves personally, including through consulting and
noncompete agreements, and that the directors must give full consideration to the Williams proposal. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, injunctive relief, including to enjoin the merger, and an award of attorneys’ and other fees and
costs, in addition to other relief. 
  

	1 	On June 23, 2011, the Southern Union Board received an unsolicited proposal from The Williams Companies, Inc. to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of Southern Union for $39 per share in cash. 







 On July 6, 2011, a putative class action lawsuit captioned Memo v.
Southern Union Company, et al., C.A. No. 6639-CS, was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint names as defendants the members of the Southern Union Board, Southern Union, ETE and Merger Sub. The plaintiffs allege that the
Southern Union directors breached their fiduciary duties to Southern Union’s stockholders in connection with the amended merger agreement and that Southern Union, ETE and Merger Sub aided and abetted those alleged breaches. The complaint
alleges that the merger involves an unfair price and an inadequate sales process, that Southern Union’s directors entered into the merger to benefit themselves personally, and that the terms of the amended merger agreement are preclusive. The
complaint seeks injunctive relief, including to enjoin the merger, and an award of attorneys’ and other fees and costs, in addition to other relief. 
 The defendants believe the allegations of all the foregoing actions lack merit and intend to contest them vigorously.

 THIS GUARANTY is made as of
                    , 201    , by each party named on the signature pages hereto (collectively herein called the

“Administrative Agent”). 
 RECITALS: 
 1. Energy Transfer Equity, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), has entered into the Credit Agreement dated as of October 17, 2011 (herein, as from time to time
amended, supplemented or restated, called the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Borrower, Credit Suisse AG, as the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders from time to time party thereto, pursuant to which the Lender Parties (as
defined below) have agreed to advance funds and extend credit to the Borrower up to an aggregate principal amount of up to $3,700,000,000. 
 2. It is a condition to the Lender Parties’ obligations to advance funds and extend credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement that the Guarantors shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a
satisfactory guaranty of the Borrower’s obligations under the Notes and the Credit Agreement. 
 3. Each Guarantor is a
direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower. 
 4. The Borrower, the Guarantors, and the other direct and indirect
subsidiaries of the Borrower are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses under a holding company structure, with the credit needed from time to time by each often being provided by another or by means of
financing obtained by one such affiliate with the support of the others for their mutual benefit and the ability of each to obtain such financing being dependent on the successful operations of the others. 

5. The board of directors, members, managers or general partner of each Guarantor, as applicable, has determined that such
Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty may reasonably be expected to benefit such Guarantor, directly or indirectly, and are in the best interests of such Guarantor. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, of the benefits which will inure to each Guarantor from the Lender Parties’
advances of funds and extension of credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, and of Ten Dollars and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of all of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce the
Lender Parties to advance funds and extend credit under the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender Party, as follows: 

  
 C-1








 AGREEMENTS: 
 Section 1. Definitions. Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement for all purposes. All terms used in this Guaranty that are defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the same meanings when used herein. All references herein to any Obligation Document (as defined below), Loan Document, or other document or instrument refer to the same as from time to time amended, supplemented or restated. As used
herein the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 “Additional Guarantor” has the meaning given
to such term in Section 11. 
 “Credit Agreement” has the meaning given to such term in the recitals.

 “Guaranty Supplement” has the meaning given to such term in Section 11. 

“Indemnitee” has the meaning given to such term in Section 19(b). 

“Lender Parties” means the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 

“Obligations” means collectively all of the indebtedness, obligations, and undertakings which are guaranteed by each
Guarantor and described in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 2. 
 “Obligation Documents” means
this Guaranty, the Notes, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, all other documents and instruments under, by reason of which, or pursuant to which any or all of the Obligations are evidenced, governed, secured, or otherwise dealt with.

secondary, of any or all of the Obligations. 
 Section 2. Guaranty. 

(a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantees to each Lender Party the prompt, complete, and full
payment when due, and no matter how the same shall become due, of: 
 (i) all Obligations, as defined in the
Credit Agreement, including all principal of and all interest on the Loans, and all other sums payable in connection therewith; 
 (ii) all other sums payable under the other Loan Documents, whether for principal, interest, fees or otherwise; and 
 (iii) any and all other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities which may at any time be owed to any Lender Party, whether incurred heretofore or hereafter or concurrently herewith, under or pursuant to
any of the Loan Documents, and including interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees and collection costs as may be provided by law or in any instrument or agreement evidencing any such indebtedness or liability. 

  
 C-2








 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall extend to
and include all post-petition interest, expenses, and other duties and liabilities of the Borrower described above in this subsection (a), or below in the following subsection (b), which would be owed by the Borrower but for the fact that they
are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding involving the Borrower. 
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantees to each Lender Party the prompt, complete and full payment, when due, and no matter how the same shall become due, of all
obligations and undertakings of the Borrower to such Lender Party under, by reason of, or pursuant to any of the Obligation Documents. 
 (c) If the Borrower shall for any reason fail to pay any Obligation, as and when such Obligation shall become due and payable, whether at its stated maturity, as a result of the exercise of any power to
accelerate, or otherwise, each Guarantor will, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay such Obligation in full to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Party to whom such Obligation is owed. 

(d) If either the Borrower or any Guarantor fails to pay any Obligation as described in the immediately preceding subsections (a), (b),
or (c), each Guarantor will incur the additional obligation to pay to the Administrative Agent, and each Guarantor will forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent pay to the Administrative Agent, the amount of any and all reasonable expenses,
including fees and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel and of any experts or agents retained by the Administrative Agent, which the Administrative Agent may incur as a result of such failure. 

(e) The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount of liability that can be incurred without rendering
this Guaranty, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. 
 (f) The books and records of the Lender Parties showing the amount of any of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantors and
conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations. 
 (g) Each Guarantor shall make all payments
hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed
or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless such Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to
taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of any Lender Party) is imposed upon such Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, such Guarantor will pay to the Administrative Agent, on the date on which such amount is due
and payable hereunder, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable each Lender Party to receive the same net amount that such Lender Party would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon such
Guarantor. Each Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent 

  
 C-3








 
certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by such Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantors under this
paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. 
 Section 3. Unconditional
Guaranty. 
 (a) No action which the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may take or omit to take in connection
with any of the Obligation Documents or any of the Obligations (or any other indebtedness owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party), and no course of dealing of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party
with any Obligor or any other Person, shall release or diminish any Guarantor’s obligations, liabilities, agreements or duties hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way, or afford any Guarantor any recourse against the Administrative Agent or
any other Lender Party, regardless of whether any such action or inaction may increase any risks to or liabilities of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or any Obligor. Without limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby expressly
agrees that any Lender Party may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor, do any or all of the following: 
 (i) Amend, change or modify, in whole or in part, any one or more of the Obligation Documents and give or refuse to give any waivers or other indulgences with respect thereto. 

(ii) Neglect, delay, fail, or refuse to take or prosecute any action for the collection or enforcement of any of the
Obligations, to foreclose or take or prosecute any action in connection with any Obligation Document, to bring suit against any Obligor or any other Person, or to take any other action concerning the Obligations or the Obligation Documents.

 (iii) Accelerate, change, rearrange, extend, or renew the time, rate, terms, or manner for payment or
performance of any one or more of the Obligations (whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, indemnifications, affirmative or negative covenants, or otherwise). 

(iv) Compromise or settle any unpaid or unperformed Obligation or any other obligation or amount due or owing, or claimed
to be due or owing, under any one or more of the Obligation Documents. 
 (v) Discharge, release, substitute or
add Obligors. 
 (vi) Apply all monies received from Obligors or others to any one or more of the Obligations as
the Administrative Agent or the other Lender Parties may determine to be in their best interest, without in any way being required to apply all or any part of such monies upon any particular Obligations. 

  
 C-4








 (b) No action or inaction of any Obligor or any other Person, and no change of law or
circumstances, shall release or diminish any Guarantor’s obligations, liabilities, agreements, or duties hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way, or afford any Guarantor any recourse against any Lender Party. Without limiting the foregoing,
the obligations, liabilities, agreements, and duties of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected by the occurrence of any or all of the following from time to time, even if occurring
without notice to or without the consent of any Guarantor: 
 (i) Any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, sale of all or substantially all assets, marshalling of assets or liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, or composition of any Obligor or
any other proceedings involving any Obligor or any of the assets of any Obligor under laws for the protection of debtors, or any discharge, impairment, modification, release, or limitation of the liability of, or stay of actions or lien enforcement
proceedings against, any Obligor, any properties of any Obligor, or the estate in bankruptcy of any Obligor in the course of or resulting from any such proceedings. 

(ii) The failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party to file or enforce a claim in any proceeding
described in the immediately preceding subsection (i) or to take any other action in any proceeding to which any Obligor is a party. 
 (iii) The release by operation of law of any Obligor from any of the Obligations or any other obligations to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party. 

(iv) The invalidity, deficiency, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or the Obligation Documents, in
whole or in part, any bar by any statute of limitations or other law of recovery on any of the Obligations, or any defense or excuse for failure to perform on account of force majeure, act of God, casualty, impossibility, impracticability, or other
defense or excuse whatsoever, other than the defense of payment having been made to the Lender Parties in accordance with this Guaranty or the Credit Agreement. 
 (v) The failure of any Obligor or any other Person to sign any guaranty or other instrument or agreement within the contemplation of any Obligor, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party.

 (vi) The fact that the Guarantors may have incurred directly part of the Obligations or are otherwise
primarily liable therefor. 
 (vii) Without limiting any of the foregoing, any fact or event (whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing) which in the absence of this provision would or might constitute or afford a legal or equitable discharge or release of or defense to a guarantor or surety other than the actual payment by the Borrower of the
Obligations or the actual payment by the Guarantors under this Guaranty. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any
Lender Party, may invoke the benefits of this Guaranty before pursuing any remedies against any Obligor or any other Person. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Lender Party, may maintain an action against any Guarantor on this Guaranty
without joining any other Obligor therein and without bringing a separate action against any other Obligor. 

  
 C-5








 (d) If any payment to any Lender Party by any Obligor is held to constitute a preference or
a voidable transfer under applicable state or federal laws, or if for any other reason any Lender Party is required to refund such payment to the payor thereof or to pay the amount thereof to any other Person, such payment to such Lender Party shall
not constitute a release of any Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and each Guarantor agrees to pay such amount to such Lender Party on demand and agrees and acknowledges that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated,
as the case may be, to the extent of any such payment or payments. Any transfer by subrogation which is made as contemplated in Section 6 prior to any such payment or payments shall (regardless of the terms of such transfer) be automatically
voided upon the making of any such payment or payments, and all rights so transferred shall thereupon revert to and be vested in the Lender Parties. 
 (e) This is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to and cover all Obligations and renewals and extensions thereof and substitutions therefor from time to time. 

Section 4. Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives, with respect to the Obligations, this Guaranty, and the other Obligation
Documents: 
 (a) notice of the incurrence of any Obligation by the Borrower, and notice of any kind concerning the assets,
liabilities, financial condition, creditworthiness, businesses, prospects, or other affairs of the Borrower (it being understood and agreed that: (i) each Guarantor shall take full responsibility for informing itself of such matters,
(ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall have any responsibility of any kind to inform any Guarantor of such matters, and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties are hereby authorized to assume
that each Guarantor, by virtue of its relationships with the Borrower which are independent of this Guaranty, has full and complete knowledge of such matters whenever any Lender Party extends credit to the Borrower or takes any other action which
may change or increase any Guarantor’s liabilities or losses hereunder). 
 (b) notice that the Administrative Agent, the
other Lender Parties, any Obligor, or any other Person has taken or omitted to take any action under any Obligation Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or relating to any Obligation. 

(c) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and all rights of each Guarantor under any statute or law discharging such Guarantor from
liability hereunder for failure to sue on this Guaranty. 
 (d) default, demand, presentment for payment, and notice of default,
demand, dishonor, nonpayment, or nonperformance (except as otherwise set forth herein or in any other Loan Document). 
 (e)
notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, notice of protest, notice of any exercise of remedies (as described in the following Section 5 or otherwise), and all other notices of any kind whatsoever. 

  
 C-6








 Section 5. Exercise of Remedies. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Lender
Party, shall have the right to enforce, from time to time, in any order and at its sole discretion, any rights, powers and remedies which any Lender Party may have under the Obligation Documents or otherwise and each Guarantor shall be liable to the
Lender Parties hereunder for any deficiency resulting from the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any such right or remedy even though any rights which any Guarantor may have against the Borrower or others may be destroyed or diminished by
exercise of any such right or remedy. No failure on the part of any Lender Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Obligation Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights, powers and remedies of the Lender Parties provided herein and in the other Obligation Documents are cumulative and are in addition
to, and not exclusive of, any other rights, powers or remedies provided by law or in equity. The rights of the Lender Parties hereunder are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by any Lender Party to exercise any of its rights under any
other Obligation Document against any Obligor or any other Person. 
 Section 6. Limited Subrogation. 

(a) Until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full, no Guarantor shall have any right to exercise any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which it may now or hereafter have against or to any Obligor in connection with this Guaranty (including any right of subrogation under any statute or other law),
and each Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which such Guarantor may have against the Borrower. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation or other rights or any such other remedy at any
time when all of the Obligations and all other expenses guaranteed pursuant hereto shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from the other funds of such
Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against, all or any portion of
the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect. 
 (b) If any Guarantor
shall make payment to the Administrative Agent of all or any portion of the Obligations and if all of the Obligations shall be finally paid in full, the Administrative Agent will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to
such Guarantor (without recourse, representation or warranty) appropriate documents necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor; provided that
such transfer shall be subject to Section 3(d) above and that without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent may withhold in its discretion) such Guarantor shall not have the right to be subrogated to any claim
or right against any Obligor which has become owned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, whose ownership has otherwise changed in the course of enforcement of the Obligation Documents, or which the Administrative Agent otherwise has
released or wishes to release from its Obligations. 

  
 C-7








 (c) Upon full and final payment of the Obligations, each Guarantor which has made payments
upon the Obligations shall be entitled to contribution from each other Guarantor hereunder, to the end that all such payments upon the Obligations shall be shared among all Guarantors in proportion to their respective Net Worths, provided that the
contribution obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that it can pay at such time without rendering its contribution obligations voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers.
As used in this subsection, the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor means, at any time, the remainder of (i) the fair value of such Guarantor’s assets (other than such right of contribution), minus (ii) the fair value of
such Guarantor’s liabilities (other than its liabilities under its guaranty of the Obligations). 
 Section 7.
Successors and Assigns. No Guarantor’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated (except pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement), but this Guaranty and such obligations shall pass to and be fully
binding upon the successors of each Guarantor, as well as each Guarantor. This Guaranty shall apply to and inure to the benefit of each Lender Party and its successors or assigns, subject in all cases to the provisions of the Credit Agreement
regarding assignment, participation, and transfer. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender Party may assign, grant a participation in, or otherwise transfer any Obligation held by it or any portion thereof,
and each Lender Party may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or any portion thereof under any Obligation Document, to any other Person, subject in all cases to the provisions of the Credit Agreement regarding such assignment, participation, or
transfer, and such other Person shall thereupon become entitled to all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender Party hereunder unless otherwise expressly provided by such Lender Party in connection with such assignment or transfer.

 Section 8. Subordination and Offset. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates and makes inferior to the Obligations any and
all indebtedness now or at any time hereafter owed by the Borrower to such Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default and receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent to stop payments pursuant to
this Section 8, it will neither permit the Borrower to repay such indebtedness or any part thereof nor accept payment from the Borrower of such indebtedness or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. If
any Guarantor receives any such payment without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Parties, shall be segregated from the other funds of such Guarantor, and
shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be applied in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against, all or any portions of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall
elect. Each Guarantor hereby grants to each Lender Party a right of offset, executable as set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence, to secure the payment of the Obligations and such Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities hereunder,
which right of offset shall be upon any and all monies, securities and other property (and the proceeds therefrom) of such Guarantor now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to any Lender Party from or for the account of such Guarantor,
whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or special), credits and claims of such Guarantor at any time existing against any Lender Party. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, each Lender Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, to offset, appropriate and apply any and all items hereinabove referred to against the Obligations and the Guarantors’
obligations and liabilities hereunder irrespective of whether or not such 

  
 C-8








 
Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations and liabilities may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the
applicable Guarantor after any such offset and application made by such Lender Party, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such offset and application. The rights of each Lender Party under this section are
in addition to, and shall not be limited by, any other rights and remedies (including other rights of offset) which any Lender Party may have. 
 Section 9. Representations and Warranties. As of the Closing
Date6, each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as to
itself to each Lender Party as follows: 
 (a) Recitals 3, 4, and 5 at the beginning of this Guaranty are true and correct in
all respects. 
 (b) Each of the representations and warranties contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement are true, insofar
as they refer to such Guarantor, or to the assets, operations, conditions, agreements, business or actions of such Guarantor, as one of the Restricted Persons, or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party. 

Section 10. Covenants. Each Guarantor hereby agrees to observe and comply with each of the covenants and agreements made in the
Credit Agreement if and when required, insofar as they refer to such Guarantor, or the assets, obligations, conditions, agreements, business, or actions of such Guarantor, as one of the Restricted Persons, or to the Loan Documents to which such
Guarantor is a party. 
 Section 11. Amendments; Guaranty Supplements. No amendment of any provision of this Guaranty
shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in
writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing. In addition, all such
amendments and waivers shall be effective only if given with the necessary approvals of the Lenders as required in Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially
the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a
“Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (ii) each
reference herein to “this Guaranty,” “hereunder,” “hereof’ or words of like import referring to this Guaranty and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Guaranty,” “thereunder,”
“thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.

 C-9








 Section 12. Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

reinstatement as provided in Section 3(d). All extensions of credit and financial accommodations heretofore or hereafter made by the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties to the Borrower shall be conclusively presumed to have been
made in acceptance hereof and in reliance hereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may from time to time release one or more Guarantors from its obligations under this Guaranty as permitted in Section 9.10 of the Credit
Agreement. 

  
 C-10

 FORM OF GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT 

                    , 201_

 Credit Suisse AG, as the Administrative 
 Agent Eleven Madison Avenue 
 New York, New York 10010 

 

	 	Re:	Credit Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2011 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”), among Energy Transfer Equity, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), Credit Suisse AG, as the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders from time to time party thereto


 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is made to the Credit Agreement and to that certain Guaranty dated as of             , 201_, executed by
[            ], in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders (as heretofore amended, supplemented, modified or restated, the “Original
Guaranty”; such Original Guaranty, as in effect on the date hereof and as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, together with this Guaranty Supplement, being the “Guaranty”). The
capitalized terms defined in the Guaranty or in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined. 
 Section 1. Guaranty. 
 (a) The undersigned hereby irrevocably, absolutely,
and unconditionally guarantees to each Lender Party the prompt, complete, and full payment when due, and no matter how the same shall become due, of: 
 (i) all Obligations, as defined in the Credit Agreement, including all principal of and all interest on the Loans, and all other sums payable in connection therewith; 

(ii) all other sums payable under the other Loan Documents, whether for principal, interest, fees or otherwise; and

 (iii) any and all other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities which may at any time be owed to any Lender
Party, whether incurred heretofore or hereafter or concurrently herewith, under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, and including interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees and collection costs as may be provided by law or in any instrument or
agreement evidencing any such indebtedness or liability. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability hereunder of each of
the undersigned shall extend to and include all post-petition interest, expenses, and other duties and liabilities of the Borrower described above in this subsection (a), or below in the following subsection (b), which would be owed by the Borrower
but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding involving the Borrower. 






 (b) The undersigned hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantees to each
Lender Party the prompt, complete and full payment, when due, and no matter how the same shall become due, of all obligations and undertakings of the Borrower to such Lender Party under, by reason of, or pursuant to any of the Obligation Documents.

 (c) If the Borrower shall for any reason fail to pay any Obligation, as and when such Obligation shall become due and
payable, whether at its stated maturity, as a result of the exercise of any power to accelerate, or otherwise, each of the undersigned will, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay such Obligation in full to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Lender Party to whom such Obligation is owed. 
 (d) If either the Borrower or any of the undersigned fail to pay
any Obligation as described in the immediately preceding subsections (a), (b), or (c), each of the undersigned will incur the additional obligation to pay to the Administrative Agent, and each of the undersigned will forthwith upon demand by the
Administrative Agent pay to the Administrative Agent, the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including fees and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel and of any experts or agents retained by the Administrative Agent, which
the Administrative Agent may incur as a result of such failure. 
 (e) The liability of each of the undersigned hereunder shall
be limited to the maximum amount of liability that can be incurred without rendering this Guaranty, as it relates to such Person, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount.

 (f) The books and records of the Lender Parties showing the amount of any of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence
in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantors and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations. 
 Section 2. Obligations Under the Guaranty. The undersigned hereby agrees, as of the date first above written, to be bound as a Guarantor by all of the terms and conditions of the Guaranty to the
same extent as each of the other Guarantors thereunder. The undersigned further agrees, as of the date first above written, that each reference in the Guaranty to an “Additional Guarantor” or a “Guarantor” shall
also mean and be a reference to the undersigned, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned. 

Section 3. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Guaranty Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Guaranty Supplement by telecopy shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty Supplement.

 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND
ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY
SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR
ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY OF THE UNDERSIGNED OR ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE 
 [__], 201__ 

This Solvency Certificate (the “Certificate”) of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the “Borrower”), and its Subsidiaries is delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(a) of the Credit Agreement dated as of October 17, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrower, the
Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.7 

I, [ ], the duly elected, qualified and acting Chief Financial Officer of LE GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the
general partner of the Borrower, DO HEREBY CERTIFY in my capacity as such officer, as follows: 
 1. I have carefully reviewed
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents referred to therein (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and such other documents as I have deemed relevant and the contents of this Certificate and, in connection herewith,
have made such investigation, as I have deemed necessary therefor. Furthermore, I confirm and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of this Certificate in connection with the Commitments and
Loans under the Credit Agreement. 
 2. I have reviewed the pro forma consolidated balance sheet, attached hereto as
Exhibit A, delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement (the “Balance Sheet”). I am familiar with the financial performance and prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
and hereby confirm that the Balance Sheet was prepared in good faith and fairly presents, on a pro forma basis as of [__] (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents), the Borrower’s and its
Restricted Subsidiaries’ pro forma consolidated financial condition, based on the information available to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time so furnished. 

3. As of the date hereof, before and after giving effect to the Transactions, the fair value of any and all property of the Borrower and
its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the probable liability on existing debts of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as they become absolute and matured. 

4. As of the date hereof, before and after giving effect to the Transactions, the present fair saleable value of any and all property of
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the probable liability on existing debts of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as they become absolute and matured.

 As of the date hereof, before and after giving effect to the Transactions, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, are solvent and are able to pay their debts (including, without limitation, contingent and subordinated liabilities) as they become absolute and mature. 

 
  

	7 	 Note: Description to be modified to reflect the description of the final Credit Agreement. Defined terms used herein shall also be modified to reflect
the defined terms used in the final Credit Agreement. 








 5. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not intend to,
nor do they believe that they will, incur debts that would be beyond their ability to pay as such debts mature. 
 6. As of the
date hereof, before and after giving effect to Transactions, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not engaged in businesses or transactions, nor about to engage in businesses or transactions, for which any property remaining would, on a
consolidated basis, constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which they are engaged.
