Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such
increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time. 
 SECTION 1.06. Exchange Rates; Currency
Equivalents. 
 (a) The Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rate as of each

the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. The applicable amount of any currency (other than dollars) for purposes of this Agreement and any other agreements,
documents or instruments related hereto shall be the Dollar Equivalent Amount as so determined by the Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable. 
 (b) Whenever in this Agreement in connection with the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in dollars, but such
Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the Alternative Currency Equivalent Amount of such dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as
reasonably determined by the Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable. 
 ARTICLE II 

REVOLVING CREDIT ADVANCES AND LETTERS OF CREDIT 
 SECTION 2.01. The Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on the signature pages hereof under the caption “Commitment” or, if such
Lender has entered into any Assignment and Acceptance, set forth for such Lender in the Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(d), as such amount may be reduced or increased pursuant to Section 2.05 (such
Lender’s “Commitment”), minus such Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure. Each Borrowing shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of
Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments. 

  
 20 








 
Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay pursuant to Section 2.10 and reborrow under this
Section 2.01. 
 SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. 

(a) Notice of Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third
Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the
Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof. Each such notice by the Borrower of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed by the Borrower immediately in writing, by facsimile or an
email with an attached .pdf of the Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate
amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make
available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02. 

(b) Certain Limitations. Anything in Section 2.02(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not
select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.13, and (ii) the Eurodollar Rate Advances may not be
outstanding as part of more than ten separate Borrowings. 
 (c) Indemnity for Failure to Satisfy Conditions. Each Notice
of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss,
cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation,
any loss (other than loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such Lender by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such
Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. 
 (d) Agent’s Right to
Reimbursement with Interest. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date
a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Pro Rata Share available to the Agent, such 

  
 21 








 
Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available by the Agent to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such
Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of a default hereunder by such Lender. 

(e) Each Lender Individually Responsible. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on
the date of any Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.03. Issuance of, and Drawings and Reimbursement Under, Letters of Credit.

 (a) Existing Letters of Credit. On the Effective Date, without further action by any party hereto, each Existing
Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued as a Letter of Credit under this Agreement, each Existing Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired from each
Existing Letter of Credit Issuer, a participation in each Existing Letter of Credit issued by such Existing Letter of Credit Issuer, equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to each Existing Letter of
Credit. Such participations shall be on all the same terms and conditions as participations granted under Section 2.03(d) in all other Letters of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder. 

(b) Request for Issuance. Letters of Credit denominated in dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies may be issued
hereunder in a Dollar Equivalent Amount that does not at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit exceed the aggregate Commitments minus the sum of the aggregate outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit Exposures of the Lenders at
such time, provided that no Issuing Bank shall be required at any time to issue a Letter of Credit that would result in (x) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures exceeding $250,000,000, (y) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure
in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank exceeding such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment or (z) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the aggregate outstanding amount of Letters of Credit issued hereunder denominated
in Alternative Currencies exceeding $150,000,000. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit,
by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, which shall give to the Agent prompt notice thereof. Each such notice by the Borrower of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telephone, confirmed by the Borrower
immediately in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) face amount of such Letter of Credit (which must be in
dollars or an Alternative Currency), (iii)

  
 22 








 
expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall be on or prior to the earlier of (A) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any
renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions
agreed upon by the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to twelve (12) months (but not to a date later than the date that is
five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the immediately succeeding proviso), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the
beneficiary and the Borrower in advance of any such renewal; provided, further that, with the prior consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion, a Letter of Credit may be extended beyond the fifth Business Day prior
to the Termination Date (each such Letter of Credit with an expiration date that is later than five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, a “Post-Maturity Letter of Credit”) so long as the Borrower shall Post-Maturity Cash
Collateralize in accordance with Section 2.03(h)(ii) any Post-Maturity Letter of Credit); provided, further that no Letter of Credit may expire after the date that is five Business Days prior to an Existing Termination Date
in respect of any Declining Lenders under Section 2.05(e) if, after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Commitments of the Consenting Lenders (including any replacement Lenders) for the period following
such Existing Termination Date would be less than the Letter of Credit Exposure following such Existing Termination Date), (iv) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (v) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall
be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (including, in connection with the issuance of a Post-Maturity Letter
of Credit or the renewal of a Letter of Credit, such that, after giving effect to such renewal, such Letter of Credit becomes a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, such documentation, including a reimbursement agreement, as such Issuing Bank may
reasonably require in connection with such issuance or renewal) (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). Upon receipt of a Notice of Issuance, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of the amount of such
Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure in respect of such Letter of Credit. If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 8.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such issuance. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement, a Letter of Credit issued hereunder may contain a statement to the effect that such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower;
provided, that notwithstanding such statement, the Borrower shall be the actual account party for all purposes of this Credit Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such statement shall not affect the Borrower’s reimbursement
obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. The Borrower may
from time to time request that Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling, provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency that is readily available and freely
transferable and convertible into dollars. Any such request shall be made to the Agent not later than twenty (20) Business Days (or such other date as may be agreed 

  
 23 








 
by the Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks, in their sole discretion) prior to the date of the desired issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in the requested currency. The Agent shall
promptly notify each Issuing Bank thereof. Each Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent not later than ten (10) Business Days (or such other date as may be agreed by the Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks, in their sole discretion) after
receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency. Any failure by an Issuing Bank to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding
sentence shall be deemed a refusal by such Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency. If one or more Issuing Banks consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Agent shall so notify the
Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for Letter of Credit issuances by those Issuing Banks consenting thereto. If the Agent shall fail to obtain consent for an additional
currency under this Section 2.03(b), the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower. 
 (c) Issuing Bank
Reports. Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (and whether the Dollar Equivalent Amount thereof shall have changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not effect any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the aggregate Dollar Equivalent
Amount of the Letters of Credit issued by it without first obtaining written confirmation from the Agent that such increase is then permitted under this Agreement, (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any Letter of Credit
Disbursement, the date and the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse a Letter of Credit Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on
such day, the date of such failure and the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank. 
 (d) Participations in Letters of Credit. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit by any Issuing
Bank under Section 2.03(b), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from
such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit in the amount for each Lender equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of
Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever, including
any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments. 
 (e) Drawings Under Letters of Credit; Reimbursement; Interim Interest. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such 

  
 24 








 
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Lender as to the Dollar Equivalent Amount to be paid as a result of such
demand or drawing and the payment date. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank, by no later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day that
the Borrower receives notice of such drawing, in the applicable currency for any amounts paid by the Issuing Bank upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided
that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Advance in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the
Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Advance. If the Borrower fails to make such reimbursement payment when due, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable Letter of
Credit Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice,
each Lender shall pay to the Agent the Dollar Equivalent Amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Advances made by such Lender (and Section 2.02
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders in dollars or, if requested by such Issuing Bank, the equivalent
amount thereof in the applicable Alternative Currency as determined by the Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined as of such funding date) for the purchase of such Alternative Currency with
dollars. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.03(e), the Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to
this Section 2.03(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any
Letter of Credit Disbursement shall not constitute an Advance and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such Letter of Credit Disbursement. All such amounts paid by the Issuing Bank (whether or not the
Dollar Equivalent Amount of their Pro Rata Shares of such amounts have been paid to the Issuing Bank by the Lenders as provided above) and remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus, if such amount remains unpaid for more than three Business Days, 2%. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Lenders shall not have any obligation to reimburse any Issuing
Bank for any Letter of Credit Disbursement made under any Post-Maturity Letter of Credit that occurs on or after the Termination Date. 
 (f) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.03(e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the following circumstances: 
 (i) the use that may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting); 

  
 25 








 (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that the
Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting), the Lenders (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter
of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction; 
 (iii) any statement or any
other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; 

(iv) payment under a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit against presentation to the Issuing
Bank of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; provided that the determination by the Issuing Bank to make such payment shall not have been the result of its willful misconduct or gross negligence;

 (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative
Currency to the Borrower or the relevant currency markets generally; or 
 (vi) any other act or omission to act
or delay of any kind by any Lender (including the Issuing Bank), the Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this clause (vi), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 
 None of the Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, or any of their Affiliates shall have any
liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any
error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the
Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make
payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the
terms of such Letter of Credit. 

  
 26 








 (g) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time
with the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as
an issuing bank pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) shall, upon entering into a Letter of Credit Agreement with the Borrower, be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) hereunder. 

(h) Cash Collateralization. (i) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower
receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Advances has been accelerated, Lenders with aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures representing greater than 50% of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures) demanding
the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.03(h)(i) , the Borrower shall deposit (“Cash Collateralize”) in an account with the Agent, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders and the
Issuing Banks, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to Cash Collateralize shall become effective immediately, and
such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 6.01(e). Each such deposit shall be held by
the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, including the
exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such
deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements for which it
has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures at such time or, if the maturity of the Advances has been
accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with Letter of Credit Exposures representing greater than 50% of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the
Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all
Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 (ii) If any Post-Maturity Letters of Credit remain outstanding
as of the date that is (x) five Business Days prior to the Termination Date if Investment Grade Status exists as to the Borrower at such time or (y) ninety (90) days prior to the Termination Date if Investment Grade Status does not
exist as to the Borrower at such time (such date being referred to herein as the “Cash Collateralization Date”), the Borrower shall, on the Cash Collateralization Date, deposit (“Post-Maturity Cash Collateralize”)
in an account with each Issuing Bank that has issued any such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, in the name of such Issuing Bank and for the benefit of such Issuing Bank and, prior to the Termination Date, the Lenders (each, an “Issuing Bank
LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 102% of the aggregate amount (as determined in accordance with Section 1.05) of all outstanding Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing


  
 27 








 
Bank. In addition, if (x) the Borrower requests that a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit be issued, or a Letter of Credit be renewed (or if any Letter of Credit is automatically renewed for an
additional one-year period), such that, after giving effect to such renewal, such Letter of Credit becomes a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, by an Issuing Bank after the Cash Collateralization Date but before the Termination Date and (y) such
Issuing Bank agrees to issue such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit or renew such Letter of Credit, then, as a condition to such issuance or renewal, the Borrower shall deposit in such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account an amount in
cash equal to 102% of the amount (as determined in accordance with Section 1.05) of such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit to be renewed, as applicable. Any such deposits pursuant to this Section 2.03(h)(ii)
shall be held by each applicable Issuing Bank in its Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements made by such
Issuing Bank under each Post-Maturity Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank shall have exclusive dominion and control, as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over its Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of each Issuing Bank and at the Borrower’s risk and
expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in each Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the applicable Issuing Bank to reimburse such
Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank in respect of Post-Maturity Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed, fees related to such Post-Maturity Letters of Credit and, to the extent not so applied,
shall be held for the satisfaction of the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank in respect of Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. If an Issuing
Bank has issued more than one Post-Maturity Letter of Credit for which cash collateral was provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(h)(ii), upon the cancellation, surrender, or payment of any such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank that issued such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit shall promptly release cash collateral to the Borrower equal to the difference between (A) the total available funds in such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account and
(B) 102% of the aggregate amount (as determined in accordance with Section 1.05) of all Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank that remain outstanding. Promptly after the cancellation, surrender, or payment of
all Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank for which cash collateral was provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(h)(ii), such Issuing Bank shall return to the Borrower all available funds, if any, in such Issuing
Bank’s Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account. This Section 2.03(h)(ii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.04. Fees. 
 (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay
to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee on the average daily amount of such Lender’s Commitment (whether used or unused) from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender, and from the later of the Effective Date and
the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to 

  
 28 








 
which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender, until the Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears
quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31, 2011, and on the Termination Date. 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees, Etc. 
 (i) The Borrower shall
pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender (including each Issuing Bank) a fee, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31, 2011, and on the Termination Date, on such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the average daily amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures during such quarter at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances. For purposes of computing the daily amount
available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.05. 
 (ii) The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account a fronting fee, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31,
2011, and on the Termination Date, on the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the average daily amount of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at the rate of 0.15% per annum or such other rate as may be agreed by the Borrower and such Issuing
Bank, as well as the Issuing Bank’s customary administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges. 
 (iii) The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account a letter of credit fee with respect to each Post-Maturity Letter of Credit during the period from the Termination Date to but
excluding the date on which such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit expires, at a rate and payable on such dates during such period as the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower shall reasonably agree upon at the time of issuance of such Post-Maturity
Letter of Credit. This Section 2.04(b)(iii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder. 
 (c) Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account the fees specified in the Agent Fee Letter. 
 SECTION 2.05. Termination, Reduction, Increase and Extension of Commitments. 
 (a) Termination Date. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments and the Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date. 

(b) Optional Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is at least $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if,
after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Advances in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures and the aggregate Advances would exceed the aggregate Commitments. 

  
 29 








 (c) Notice of Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Agent of any
election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.05(b) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following
receipt of any notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the
Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably (based upon their Pro Rata Shares) among the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Commitments. 
 (d) Aggregate Commitment Increases. 

(i) The Borrower may on one or more occasions, without the consent of the Lenders, but subject to the approval of each
Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and by written notice to the Agent, executed by the Borrower and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this
Section 2.05(d) being called an “Increasing Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Increasing Lenders or cause the existing Commitments of the Increasing Lenders to be
increased, as the case may be (any such extension or increase, a “Commitment Increase”), in an amount for each Increasing Lender (which shall not be less than $25,000,000) set forth in such notice; provided that any Lender
approached to provide all or a portion of the increased or new Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Commitment; provided, further, that (i) at no time shall the aggregate
amount of Commitments, including Commitment Increases effected pursuant to this Section 2.05(d), exceed $2,250,000,000, (ii) each Increasing Lender shall be subject to the approval of each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (iii) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Agent a duly executed accession agreement in a form
satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrower (an “Accession Agreement”). New Commitments and increases in Commitments shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notices delivered pursuant to this
Section 2.05(d); provided that the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.05(d) have been satisfied. Upon the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Lender is a party, (i) such
Increasing Lender shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Commitments
shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Commitment of such Increasing Lender as provided in such Accession Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any increase pursuant to this Section 2.05(d) in the Commitment of a Lender
already a party hereto, the Commitments shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the increased Commitment of such Lender. 

  
 30 








 (ii) On the effective date of any Commitment Increase pursuant to this
Section 2.05(d) (the “Increase Effective Date”), (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding (the “Initial Advances”) immediately prior to giving effect to the applicable
Commitment Increase on the Increase Effective Date shall be deemed to be repaid, (B) after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Borrowings (the “Subsequent Borrowings”) in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Advances and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Notice of Borrowing delivered to the Agent in accordance with Section 2.02(a),
(C) each Lender shall pay to the Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (x) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Subsequent Borrowings
and (y) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Initial Advances, (D) after the Agent receives the funds specified in clause (C) above, the Agent shall pay to each
Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference, if positive, between (1) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Initial Advances and (2) such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings, (E) each Increasing Lender and each other Lender shall be deemed to hold its Advances of each Subsequent Borrowing (each
calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) and (F) the Borrower shall pay each Increasing Lender and each other Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Initial Advances. The deemed payments made pursuant to
clause (A) above in respect of each Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11 if the Increase Effective Date occurs other than on the last day of
the Interest Period relating thereto and breakage costs result. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this Section 2.05(d) unless, on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of
Section 3.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such clauses to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such increase and without giving effect to the first parenthetical in Section 3.02(a)) and the Agent shall
have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by the Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer of the Borrower. 
 (e) Extension of Termination Date. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) not less than 45 days prior to any anniversary of
the date hereof, and on not more than two occasions, request that the Lenders extend the Termination Date and the Commitments for an additional period of one year. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Agent given not later than the
20th day after the date of the Agent’s receipt of the Borrower’s extension request, advise the Borrower whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting
Lender” and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Declining Lender”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Borrower and the Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to
such extension and shall be a Declining Lender. If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to an extension request, then the Termination Date shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to


  
 31 








 
the first anniversary of the Termination Date theretofore in effect. The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Termination Date extension shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender.
The Commitment of any Declining Lender shall terminate on the Termination Date in effect as to such Lender prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Termination Date being called the “Existing Termination Date”). The
principal amount of any outstanding Advances made by Declining Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the accounts of such Declining Lenders hereunder, shall be due and payable on
the Existing Termination Date, and on the Existing Termination Date the Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of its Borrowings as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of, and all
payments to, Declining Lenders pursuant to this sentence, the sum of the aggregate Advances and the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments. If, after making the prepayments pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence the sum of the aggregate Advances and the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures exceed the aggregate Commitments, then the Borrower shall immediately deposit cash collateral in an account with the Agent, in the name of the Agent
and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (such deposit to be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.03(h)(i)),
in an amount such that, after giving effect to such cash collateralization and the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Lenders pursuant to the preceding sentence, the sum of the aggregate Advances and the aggregate
Letter of Credit Exposures not cash collateralized in accordance with this sentence shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(e), the Borrower shall have the right, pursuant
to Section 2.18(b), at any time prior to the Existing Termination Date, to replace a Declining Lender with a Lender or other financial institution that will agree to a request for the extension of the Termination Date, and any such
replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) shall become effective unless (i) on the anniversary of
the date hereof that immediately follows the date on which the Borrower delivers the applicable request for extension of the Termination Date, the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 3.02 shall
be satisfied (with all references in such clauses to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such extension and without giving effect to the first parenthetical in Section 3.02(a)) and the Agent shall have received a certificate to
that effect dated such date and executed by the Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer of the Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.06.
Interest on Advances. 
 (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of
each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 
 (i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus
(y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.


  
 32 








 (ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is
a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect
from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such
Interest Period, and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 
 (b) Default
Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Advance or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue
amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of
overdue principal of any Advance, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Advance as provided in Section 2.06(a) or (ii) in the case of any overdue interest, fees and other amounts, 2% plus the rate applicable to
Base Rate Advances as provided in clause (a)(i) of this Section. 
 (c) Notice of Interest Period and Interest
Rate. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.08 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of
“Interest Period,” the Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and Lenders of the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above. 

SECTION 2.07. Interest Rate Determination. 
 (a) Eurodollar Rate Inadequate. If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, Lenders having at least 66-2/3% of the sum of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances at such time
plus the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures at such time notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining
their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest
Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 (b) Failure of Borrower to Select Interest Period. If the
Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so
notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be deemed to be Eurodollar Rate Advances with a one-month Interest Period. 

  
 33 








 (c) [Intentionally Omitted] 

(d) Conversion Due to Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each
Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances
shall be suspended. 
 SECTION 2.08. Optional Conversion of Advances. 

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business
Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion for Conversions into Eurodollar Rate Advances and on the date of the proposed Conversion for conversions into Base Rate Advances and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.13,
Convert all Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.01, and no Conversion of any Advances
shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be
Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Eurodollar Rate Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 

SECTION 2.09. Mandatory Payments and Prepayments of Advances. 

(a) Termination Date. On the Termination Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the
aggregate principal amount of all Advances then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment. 

(b) Outstandings in Excess of Commitments. At any time that the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding plus the
aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures exceeds the aggregate Commitments (an “Excess”), including, without limitation, as a result of currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative
Currencies, the Borrower shall immediately prepay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders, in whole or in part, a principal amount of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing(s) selected by the Borrower that will eliminate the
Excess, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to
reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.11; provided, further, that in the event an Excess remains after prepayment in full of all of the Advances, the Borrower shall immediately deposit cash
collateral in an account with the Agent, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (such deposit to be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under
this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.03(h)(i)), in an amount equal to such Excess. 

  
 34 








 SECTION 2.10. Optional Prepayments of Advances. The Borrower may, upon at least two
Business Days’ notice (in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances) or upon notice (in the case of Base Rate Advances) given on the date of such prepayment, in each case received not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such date to the
Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, which notice shall be irrevocable, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay for the ratable account of the Lenders, in whole or in part, the outstanding
principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing(s), together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, that a notice of prepayment of all outstanding Advances may
state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied; provided further, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the event of any such
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.11. 
 SECTION 2.11. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance or any Eurodollar Rate Advance is Converted to a Base Rate Advance or
continued as a Eurodollar Rate Advance for a new Interest Period (pursuant to Article II or VI or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails (for a reason other than
the failure of a Lender to make an Advance) to borrow, prepay (except as otherwise permitted hereunder), Convert or continue any Eurodollar Rate Advance after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.02(a),
2.08 or 2.10 or pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period,” the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or
prospective participant in the related Advance), including (without limitation) any actual loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of anticipated profits and margin for the period after
any such payment or Conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, Convert or continue; provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such loss or
expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs.

 (a) General. If, due to any Change in Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make
or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of issuing or participating in any Letter of Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to
which Section 2.15 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of any taxes described in Section 2.15(a)(i) or (ii)), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon written notice and written demand
by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost, such increased cost to be determined by such Lender using its
customary methods therefor (and, if such Lender uses from time to time more than one such method, the method chosen for application hereunder shall be that method which most accurately determines such


  
 35 








 
increased cost); provided that no such amount shall be payable with respect to any period commencing more than 150 days prior to the date such Lender first notifies the Borrower of its
intention to demand compensation hereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost (demonstrating in reasonable detail, the calculations used by such Lender to determine such estimated increased cost), submitted to the Borrower and
the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) Capital
Adequacy. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Lender, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or the Advances made by such Lender, to a level below that which such
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of any corporation controlling such Lender with respect to capital or liquidity
requirements) then, upon written notice and written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time, additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender or such corporation for any reduction suffered in light of such circumstances; provided that no such amount shall be payable with respect to any period commencing more than 150 days prior to the date such Lender first notifies the
Borrower of its intention to demand compensation hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts (demonstrating in reasonable detail, the calculations used by such Lender to determine such estimated increased cost) submitted to the Borrower and the
Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.13.
Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or
other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (a) each
Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (b) the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 SECTION 2.14. Payments and Computations. 
 (a) General Provisions.
The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same
day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees ratably, based upon the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares (other than amounts payable pursuant
to Section 2.02(c), 2.05(d), 2.11, 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(b)), to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount
payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with 

  
 36 








 
the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from
and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignor thereunder for amounts that have accrued to
but excluding the effective date of such assignment, and to the Lender assignee for amounts that have accrued from and after the effective date of such assignment. 
 (b) Basis of Calculation. All computations of facility fees and interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all
computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate and Letter of Credit fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring
in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(c) Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or facility fee, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if such extension would cause (i) any payment to be made after the Termination Date or (ii) payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment
shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 
 (d) Agent Entitled to Assume Payments Made. Unless the Agent shall
have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on
such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in
full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays
such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 
 (e) Order of Application. If at any time insufficient funds are
received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees
then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of the Advances and unreimbursed Letter of Credit
Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements then due to such parties. 

(f) Application of Funds to Lender’s Obligations. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 2.02(d), 2.03(d), 2.03(e), 

  
 37 








 2.05(d) or 2.14(e), then the Agent may, in its discretion notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by it for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold such
amounts in a segregated account over which the Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and
(ii) above, in any order as determined by the Agent in its discretion. 
 SECTION 2.15. Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or Parent to or for the account of any Lender, the Agent or
any other Person hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction
for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender, the Agent or such other Person, (i) taxes imposed on (or
measured by) its overall net income, net profits or net worth, and franchise or similar taxes, by the United States of America or by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender, the Agent or such other Person (as the case may be) is
organized or is otherwise doing business, or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on (or measured by), in whole or in part, its overall net income, net profits or net worth, and franchise or similar taxes,
by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (including, without limitation, any withholding of taxes described in this Section 2.15(a)(i) that is treated under applicable law
as a prepayment of taxes), (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which such Person is located, (iii) any taxes imposed as a result of such
Person’s willful misconduct, (iv) in the case of a Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.18(b)), any U.S. withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Lender by any
law in effect at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new Applicable Lending Office), except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new Applicable
Lending Office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.15(a), (v) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, (vi) in the case
of an Agent, any U.S. withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Agent by any law in effect at the time such Agent becomes a party to this Agreement solely as a result of such Agent being organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (vii) taxes attributable to its failure to comply with Section 2.15(f), (g), (i) or (j) and (viii) any interest,
penalties or additions to tax imposed on any taxes described in Sections 2.15(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and liabilities with
respect thereto not excluded under Section 2.15(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to
be delivered hereunder being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower or Parent shall be required by law to deduct any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, or any liabilities with respect thereto,
from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or any other documents to be delivered hereunder to any Lender or the Agent, (i) to the extent such deduction is for Taxes or Other Taxes (as hereinafter defined),

the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 2.15) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower or Parent (as applicable) shall make
such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or Parent (as applicable) shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower or Parent shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes,
charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder, excluding, however, such taxes imposed with respect to an assignment following the primary syndication (other than an assignment that occurs as a result of the
Borrower’s request pursuant to Section 2.18) that would not have been imposed but for a present or former connection between any Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than solely on account of the execution,
delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount, without duplication, of
Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any
liability (including penalties and interest) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor and provides
appropriate computational and, to the extent available, documentary support. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of
Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent that
such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings imposed by any governmental authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Note or any other documents to be delivered hereunder, and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (but only to the extent that the Borrower and Parent have not already indemnified the Agent for such taxes and other liabilities and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower or Parent to do so), whether or not such taxes or other liabilities were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any 

  
 39 








 
time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any Note or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any
amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (e). 
 (f) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax with respect to payments made hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections
2.15(g), (h) and (i) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (g) Each Lender that is not a United States Person, as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “Foreign Lender”), shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each
Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent (but only so
long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Agent and the Borrower with (i) two duly completed and properly executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any applicable
successor form, as the case may be, certifying that such Foreign Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender
claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 and two duly
completed and properly executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or any applicable successor form, or (iii) to the extent such Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, two duly completed and properly executed
originals of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-9, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3 or F-4, and/or other certification
documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may
provide a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. 
 (h)
If a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of 

  
 40 








 
FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under
FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

(i) Each Lender and Agent that is a United States Person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (other than
persons that are corporations or otherwise exempt from United States backup withholding tax), shall deliver at the time(s) and in the manner(s) prescribed by applicable law, to each of the Borrower and the Agent (as applicable) two original properly
completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 or any successor form, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States backup withholding tax on payments made hereunder. 

(j) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(f), (g),
(h) or (i) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(k) For the avoidance of doubt, for any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate
form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.15(g) or (i) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally
was required to be provided, or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under Section 2.15(g) or (i)), such Lender shall not be entitled to increased payments or indemnification under
Section 2.15(a) or (c) with respect to taxes or Other Taxes imposed by reason of such failure; provided, however, that the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request (at the sole
expense of such Lender) to assist the Lender to recover such taxes or Other Taxes (it being understood, however, that the Borrower shall have no liability to such Lender in respect of such taxes or Other Taxes). 

(l) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as
to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made by such indemnifying party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to
this paragraph (l) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay 

  
 41 








 
such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (l), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (l) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or
additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. 
 (m) For purposes of this Section 2.15, the
term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank. 
 Nothing contained in this Section 2.15 shall require any Lender or the Agent
to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be confidential). 
 SECTION
2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or funded participations in Letter of
Credit Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any
other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit
of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements; provided that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions
of this Section 2.16 shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against the Borrower rights of set off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

SECTION 2.17. Notes. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent)
to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender,
the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender, with a copy to the Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender.


  
 42 








 SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Mitigation. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its
Advances or Letter of Credit Disbursements hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise 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 Lender. If (i) any Lender requests, or provides notice to the Borrower that it intends to request, compensation under Section 2.12, (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 2.15, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting
Lender or (v) any Lender becomes a Declining Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in Section 8.07), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed,
(B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Advances and funded participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable
to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, funded participations 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 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments, (D) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from the status of such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender, such assignment, together with any assignments by other Non-Consenting Lenders, will enable the Borrower to obtain sufficient consents to cause the applicable amendment,
modification or waiver to become effective and (E) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the status of such Lender as a Declining Lender, the assignee of such Declining Lender is a Consenting Lender. A Lender shall not be required
to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

  
 43 








 SECTION 2.19. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(a); 
 (b) the unpaid principal amount of Advances and the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action
hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 8.01); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver
or other modification described in Section 8.01 for which the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby is required; 
 (c) if any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the
extent that (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ unpaid principal amount of Advances plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments as in
effect at the time of such reallocation and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at such time; 
 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent, cash collateralize
for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations of such Defaulting Lender
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(h)(i) for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding; provided that neither any such reallocation (partial or otherwise) described in clause
(i) above or this clause (ii), nor any payment by a non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks or any other Lender may have against such
Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a non-Defaulting Lender; 
 (iii) if the Borrower cash
collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b)
with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized; 

(iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposures of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause
(i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to 

  
 44 








 
Section 2.04(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; and 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash
collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such
Defaulting Lender under Section 2.04(a) (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Letter of Credit Exposure) and Letter of Credit participation fees payable under
Section 2.04(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks, ratably based on the portion of such Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by
each Issuing Bank, until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above; and 

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit,
unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure will be 100% covered by the Letter of Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be
provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(c)(ii), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
Section 2.19(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 
 If a Bankruptcy Event with respect
to any Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into
arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 
 In the event that the Agent, the Borrower and each Issuing Bank each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Letter
of Credit Exposures of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Letter of Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Advances of the other Lenders as the Agent shall
determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Advances in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect
to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the
Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks or any other Lender may have arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Subsidiary, and its Subsidiaries, has not at the time of designation, and does not thereafter, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to any Indebtedness pursuant to which the lender or
other creditor has recourse to any assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary other than the Equity Securities in such Unrestricted Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries, and (vii) no primary operating Subsidiary of the Borrower may be
designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time. If,
at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary fails to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter automatically cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary and shall constitute a Restricted Subsidiary for all purposes of
this Agreement, and (among other things) any Indebtedness and Liens of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower as of such date.

information delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 5.01, and the Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

SECTION 7.02. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:
(a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an assignee, as provided in
Section 8.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith
by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or
oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of Parent or
the Borrower or the existence at any time of any Default or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of Parent or the Borrower; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram or electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 

SECTION 7.03. JPMorgan and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Advances made by it, the Note issued to it and any
Letter of Credit issued by it, JPMorgan shall 

  
 60 








 
have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”,
“Issuing Bank” and “Issuing Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include JPMorgan in its individual capacity. JPMorgan and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of,
accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own Equity Securities of the Borrower or any such Affiliate, all as if
JPMorgan were not the Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates to
the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as Agent. 
 SECTION 7.04. Lender Credit
Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and 5.01 and such other 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 Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent and each Issuing Bank (in each case to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective
principal amounts of the Notes then held by each of them (or if no Notes are at the time outstanding or if any Notes are held by Persons that are not Lenders, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent or such Issuing Bank in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent or such Issuing Bank under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent and each Issuing Bank promptly upon
demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent or such Issuing Bank in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent or such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the
case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or a third
party. 
 SECTION 7.06. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders
and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, (i) the Borrower, with the consent of the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or


  
 61 








 
delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring
Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement provided that if such successor Agent shall have been appointed without the consent of
the Borrower, such successor Agent may be replaced by the Borrower with the consent of the Required Lenders so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.07. Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents and Joint Lead Arrangers. The Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers, in their respective capacities as
such, shall not have any duties or obligations of any kind under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 7.08. Sub-Agents. The Agent
may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its
respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs and the provisions of Section 8.04 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the 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 Agent.

the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any
Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Agent that it

clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 
 SECTION 8.03. No Waiver: Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 SECTION 8.04. Costs and Expenses. 
 (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket fees, charges and expenses of a single counsel for the Agent, and of a single local counsel to the Agent in each
appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and of such other counsel retained by the Agent with the Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and of such other counsel retained by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder,
including, without limitation, in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a). 
 (b) The
Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Issuing Bank and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an
“Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of
(including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use
of the proceeds of the Advances, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, and to reimburse each Indemnified Party upon demand for any reasonable and documented legal expenses of one firm of counsel for all such Indemnified
Parties, taken as a whole and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole (and, in the
case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Party 

  
 64 








 
affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Party) and other expenses incurred
in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Party, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related legal or other expenses to the extent
(i) they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party, (ii) they arise out of or in connection with any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party or (iii) they consist of any taxes, which
shall be governed by Sections 2.12 and 2.15. The parties hereto agree not to assert, and hereby waive on behalf of their respective Affiliates, the holders of their Equity Securities and their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents and advisors, any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against any party hereto (including, without limitation, Parent, the Borrower, the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank), any of their respective Affiliates or
any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the
actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

 (c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the
Borrower contained in Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. 

SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the
making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or
for the credit or the account of Parent or the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Parent or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or such Note. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Parent or the Borrower, as applicable, after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have. 

SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective (other than Sections 2.01 and 2.03, which shall
only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01) when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither Parent nor the


  
 65 








 
Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any attempted assignment by Parent or the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void). 
 SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. 

(a) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (a)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than
an Ineligible Assignee) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) with the prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 
 (A) the Borrower; provided that, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 

(B) the Agent; provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 
 (C) each Issuing Bank. 

As used herein, “Ineligible Assignee” means (a) a natural person, (b) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and
operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, such company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Assignee if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose
of acquiring any Advances or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has
assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business, (c) Parent, the Borrower or any of their
Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (d) a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (d). 

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Advances of any Type, the amount of the Commitment or Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the
Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

  
 66 








 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part, and a constant and not varying percentage, of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;
and 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire
in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates or their respective securities) will be made available and
who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance of any Assignment and Acceptance and recording thereof in the Register by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 and
8.04). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 8.07 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in
such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. 
 (b) By executing and delivering an
Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Parent
or the Borrower or the performance or observance by Parent or the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of
this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment
and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue


  
 67 








 
to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in
accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and
Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof
to the Borrower; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(d), 2.03(d) or (e) or 2.14(d), the
Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and
deliver to the Agent in exchange for any surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment
hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered
Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. 
 (d) The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall
be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Commitment, Advance or Note shall be transferred by any Lender unless such transfer is entered in the Register.

 (e) Each Lender may, with the consent (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) of the Borrower (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld), sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Assignee, in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the 

  
 68 








 
performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no Participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or, except as provided in Section 2.05(e), postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations
therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.15(g), (h) and (i) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.15(g), (h) and (i) shall be delivered to the
participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions
of Sections 2.16 and 2.18 as if it were an assignees under paragraph (a) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04, with
respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after
the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
Commitments, Advances, Letters of Credit or its other obligations hereunder or under any Note or any other documents to be delivered under this Agreement) to any Person other than the Borrower except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such Commitment, Advance, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (f) Any Lender
may, in connection with any assignment, designation or participation or proposed assignment, designation or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee, designee or participant or proposed assignee, designee or
participant, any information relating to the Borrower and its Affiliates furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee, designee or participant or proposed assignee,
designee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower and its Affiliates received by it from such Lender. 

  
 69 








 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any
time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it), including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
 SECTION 8.08. Governing Law; Submission to

agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 
 SECTION 8.10. WAIVER OF JURY

 SECTION 8.11. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies Parent and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies Parent and the Borrower, which information includes the name and 

  
 70 








 
address of Parent and the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Parent and the Borrower in accordance with the Act. 

SECTION 8.12. Headings. Article, Section and other headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference
only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.13. Confidentiality. 
 (a) The Agent, each Issuing Bank and each
Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel
and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and informed on a need-to-know basis),
(ii) to the extent requested by any governmental authority or self-regulatory body, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations, (iv) to the extent required by any subpoena or similar legal process provided
that, in such case and in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender as applicable shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal practices, to notify the Borrower
promptly thereof prior to disclosure of such Information, to the extent it is not prohibited from doing so by any law or regulation or by such subpoena or legal process, (v) to any other party to this Agreement, (vi) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section 8.13, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (it being understood that such actual or prospective assignee or
Participant will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and informed on a need-to-know basis) or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap
or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations (it being understood that such actual or prospective counterparty will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential and informed on a need-to-know basis), (viii) with the consent of the Borrower or (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.13 or
(B) becomes available to the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower unless the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall have actual knowledge that such source was required to
keep such Information confidential. For the purposes of this Section 8.13, “Information” means all information received from Parent or the Borrower relating to Parent or the Borrower or their respective business, other
than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Parent or the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from Parent or the Borrower
after the date hereof, such information is either clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or should, because of its nature, reasonably be understood to be confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section 8.13 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 


  
 71 








 
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 (b) Each Lender acknowledges that Information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non-public information concerning Parent, the Borrower and its Affiliates or their respective
securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including
Federal and state securities laws. 
 (c) All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by Parent,
the Borrower or the Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about Parent, the Borrower and its Affiliates or their respective
securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to Parent, the Borrower and the Agents that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in
accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. 
 SECTION 8.14.
Conversion of Currencies. 
 (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum
owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant
jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given. 
 (b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any
judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day
following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the
Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 8.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder. 

ARTICLE IX 

GUARANTEE 

SECTION 9.01. The Guarantee. Parent hereby guarantees to each Lender and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns the
prompt payment in full when due (whether 

  
 72 








 
by acceleration or otherwise) of all principal of and interest on the Advances made by the Lenders to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, all reimbursement obligations in respect of Letter
of Credit Disbursements and all interest thereon payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Agent by the Borrower under this Agreement, strictly in accordance with the terms
hereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Parent hereby further agrees that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, Parent will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when
due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 
 SECTION 9.02.
Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of Parent under Section 9.01 are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section that the obligations of Parent hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of Parent hereunder, which shall remain
absolute and unconditional as described above: 
 (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to
Parent, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred
to herein shall be done or omitted; 
 (iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or 
 (iv) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected. 

With respect to its obligations under this Article, Parent hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and
all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or


  
 73 








 
against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 9.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of Parent under this Article shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and Parent agrees that it will
indemnify the Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket fees, charges and expenses of counsel retained by the Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration (whether through negotiations,
legal proceedings or otherwise), including any such fees, charges and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law. 
 SECTION 9.04. Subrogation. Parent hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all
Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 9.01,
whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 9.05. Remedies. Parent agrees that, as between Parent on the one hand and the Agent and the Lenders on the other, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be
forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VI (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VI) for purposes of Section 9.01 notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become
automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by Parent for purposes of Section 9.01. 

SECTION 9.06. Instrument for the Payment of Money. Parent hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article constitutes an
instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or the Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by Parent in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motion action under New York
CPLR Section 3213. 
 SECTION 9.07. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article is a continuing guarantee,
and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

PROMISSORY NOTE 
  

			
	 $                
	  	Dated:                    ,201    


 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, SPECTRA ENERGY CAPITAL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of [                ] or its registered assignees (the “Lender”) for the account
of its Applicable Lending Office on the Termination Date (each as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) the principal sum of $[amount of the Lender’s Commitment in figures] or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of the
Advances made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated as of October 18, 2011, among the Borrower, Spectra Energy Corp, the Lender and certain other lenders parties thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent
for the Lender and such other lenders (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined),
outstanding on the Termination Date. 
 The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance
from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement. 
 Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent, at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds. Each Advance owing to the
Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto that is part of this Promissory
Note; provided that the failure to make a notation of any such Advance or payment made on this Promissory Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to payments of principal of or interest
on this Promissory Note. 
 This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the
Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of Advances by the Lender to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the dollar amount first above
mentioned, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Advance by the Lender being evidenced by this Promissory Note, and (ii) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events
and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified. 
 This Promissory Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 As provided in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such federal or state 

  
 Exhibit A-1








 
court, for purposes of all suits, actions or legal proceedings arising out of or relating to the Credit Agreement, this Promissory Note or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided
that a final judgment in any such suit, 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. 

The terms of this Promissory Note are subject to amendment only in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower promises to
pay all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket fees, charges and expenses, all as provided in the Credit Agreement, of counsel retained by the Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Promissory Note (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise). The Borrower and any endorsers of this Promissory Note hereby consent to renewals and extensions of time at or after the maturity hereof, without notice, and hereby waive diligence, presentment,
protest, demand, notice of every kind and, to the full extent permitted by law, the right to plead any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand hereunder. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has caused this Promissory Note to be duly executed and delivered by its officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
